 | About us | why choose Poseidon Charters |
Since 1998, Poseidon Charters has operated a licensed travel agency specializing in yacht charter, cabin charters, flotillas and mini-cruises worldwide. Our excellent personalized service, diverse range of boats and destinations and longevity have allowed us to gain great standing in the yacht charter and travel market place. We offer a huge range of cruising options and destinations. Some programs we operate ourselves, others are run by large and small operators whom we know, trust and have represented for years. Working directly with trusted owners and operators each summer has enabled us to build our own fleet of well-appointed affordable yachts available for charter in Greece at discounted prices.
What makes us unique?
Poseidon Charters brokers yachts worldwide, but we are also very proud to be the operator of our unique Adventure cabin charters, and flotillas in Greece and Croatia. Operating in Europe each summer allows us to guarantee the standard of service delivered to our guests on our cabin charters and flotillas and allows us to keep our itinerary and local knowledge of destinations current. It also allows us to meet with yacht owners and operators to inspect new and older vessels, in order to offer you the very best choices.
Our customers
We are a global company with happy repeat customers from all over the world. Our trips suit singles, couples, families, groups (corporate and training events) of all ages and sailing abilities. We often have guests celebrating special occasions such as honeymoons, anniversaries, family reunions or guests simply fulfilling their ‘bucket list!'
Our base
We operate our cabin charter and flotilla programs May through October in Greece and Croatia. Our administrative home office is in Canada and is open year-round. You can contact us by e-mail, skype or telephone.
Our products
Our diverse range of travel options have one common theme - they all involve a boat and water! Building on our experience with yacht charter, cabin charter, flotilla and mini-cruises in the Mediterranean, we have now expanded to offer similar trips worldwide that compliment our world-class Aegean and Croatian Adventure sailing trips. We invite you to flotilla sail in the Grenadines, charter a crewed catamaran in Tahiti or enjoy a boutique style mini-cruise in the beautiful Fiji or Galapagos Islands!
