(888) 862-8424By Rory Petrilli, CYBA Broker and Greek Yacht Charter Specialist · Updated October 2026 As a charter broker, I coordinate fabulous sailing charters for guests worldwide… and sometimes, I get to take them too!

The 2019 Mediterranean Yacht Show (MEDYS) held its 6th annual event in Nafplio, Greece from May 4-8. Nafplio is a beautiful coastal town with a walled ‘Old Town’ and newer surrounding areas all guarded over by the Palamidi Fortress on the hill above and from the Bourtzi Castle on an island off the coast. The […]
As many of you have been following Rory’s adventures in Greece which recently hosted their annual charter yacht show, you may not have been aware of the smaller show I just attended in Nanny Cay Marina, British Virgin Islands. The BVI Spring show hosted by Charter Yacht Society is a much quieter and smaller show […]
Oui Cherie! We absolutely LOVE this beautiful 2017 Lagoon 52 and her crew based out of Red Hook, St Thomas, US Virgin Islands. Oui Cherie is the perfect yacht for a family or group of friends, but why?? Oui Cherie has 3 queen sized staterooms each with en-suite bathrooms, electric toilets, and dry stall showers. […]
Floatation Therapy a 2018 Lagoon 450F based out of Red Hook Marina in St Thomas, USVI is our pick for Boat of the Month-2019.

Quite simply, if Playtime is available for your approximate dates, I ALWAYS include her in my list to you. But with so many Lagoon 560’s available, why do […]

Whether you’re interested in Greek mythology and cruising the Aegean Sea or a sail along the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia… a charter in Europe is incredible. But keep in mind, the price of a charter in Europe is considerably more than a comparable charter in the […]
The USVI and BVI are in full recovery/rebuilding mode…and the results are AMAZING! While Mandy has spent a good amount of time visiting the islands post-Irma, this was my first trip to the region since the hurricane ripped through in September 2017. I was so impressed by the resilience of the islanders and the incredible […]
Our tour of the Caribbean recovery continues… On November 9th, we left Tortola, BVI for St Thomas, US Virgin Islands to attend the VIPCA Yacht Show. As with the BVI’s, having not been since Hurricane Irma, I was hopeful but still didn’t know exactly what to expect. And what a FABULOUS surprise it was to […]

With winter knocking at the door, I was very happy to enjoy my travels in the warmer weather of Athens followed by the Cyclades Islands. Upon meeting up with Mandy in Athens, we hit the ground running. Our first 5 […]
