  A key difference you will find between Albatross and other charter companies, is that, we at Albatross, specialize in Greece and Turkey. This is the sailing area we know best and know it first hand, sailing there every year and personally leading flotillas and charters. As we plan your charter, we will advise you on the best places to sail and let you know what weather conditions are for the month you are planning to charter, and help you select the best cruising waters and best sites you can visit. We will also tell you where to find the quiet coves or small town quays, or where the night life and fantastic international beaches are to be found. When you sail a new area, you want to have the benefit of working with a charter co. that knows it first hand.

  Numerous articles about Albatross have been written by many of the sailing and chartering publications, travel magazines, national and local papers, and freelance writers. We often have articles written by our valued past charter clients who want to share their experiences chartering with Albatross and take the time to write to various magazines' editorial departments. These endorsements, are our most important since it comes from those who have chartered with us and who have had the sailing experience of a lifetime with Albatross.

  In Greece with over 200 boats in our fleet for which we are exclusive managers or brokers, we encourage our charters to plan One-Way Charters. You can begin your charter from any of our 5 marina bases of Corfu, Athens (Alimos Marina), Athens(Port of Lavrion), Paros, and Rhodes. Also, if you plan to travel around Greece before starting your charter, we will make every effort to satisfy special requirements to deliver your yacht to a specific island.

  In Turkey, we have base operations in Marmaris and Bodrum with some boats available from Gocek and Fethiye. One- Way charters can also be arranged for sailing the Turkish waters. A Drop-off fee for One-Way charters may be charged depending upon the boat.

  We received a letter from one of our experienced charter clients who wrote: "Unlike other charter companies, you were happy to arrange a charter when and where we wanted,(imagine putting the customers needs first). As a result, we weren't forced to hustle around to fit into someone else's schedule. To me that made a huge difference in the success of our vacation."

  If your boat is not available for your charter due to environmental or political conditions in Greece or Turkey that weren't present when you planned your charter, Albatross will credit your charter fee towards another charter with us at a future date. If you loose a day or more of your charter because of failure of our equipment, you will be credited with extra charter time on your next charter with us.*Albatross specializes in charters sailing the Greek & Turkish waters.
