All charter yachts operate under strict safety regulations, are fully insured, and are captained by licensed professionals. If you plan to visit the Greek islands, it is crucial that all passengers have valid passports and necessary visas. Inform your charter agent of this intention during the booking process so they can prepare the required transit log paperwork.
