Lately the idea of a charter yacht ownership became very popular as the investment gives the opportunity to become a yacht owner at low cost and at the same time to ensure a very special vacation program for a lifetime. Many companies offer different kinds of Yacht management programs.
Istion offers a very simple and flexible Yacht Management program.
Our company's business plan is based on the idea to cooperate only with people with whom we feel good. The level of the investments was always kept low, in order to keep the personal contact with our partners and clients, and on the other hand to ensure our high standards of the quality of our yachts and services.
This makes Istion Different.
Once we confirm the good feeling with you, the cooperation will start and run smoothly.
Our Management program is Flexible and can be adapted to your personal needs. You will be part of Istion "Family". Your yacht will be located in the heart of the best sailing area of Europe: Greece! Based in one of our 3 secure and quite bases: in Athens, in Lefkas (Ionian islands) or in Kos (Dodecanese islands).
