𝗜𝘀 𝗬𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲? What are your thoughts?

It feels truly like the biggest objection. Often when we answer we get accused of choosing a budget boat. So here's a mid-market option coming in for well under €500 per person.

You can enjoy a week sailing the Greek islands on a premium Lagoon 40—a yacht built for comfort and adventure. With A/C, generator, SUP, teak cockpit, and a hydraulic gangway, (clearly not a budget boat). This includes a professional skipper, and you’ve got a stress-free sailing experience with a local expert guiding you to hidden gems.

Flights are always a variable, but right now, we’re seeing return tickets from New York starting at $616 (~€570) and from London at £329 (~€385). While these prices can change, they show that getting to Greece doesn’t have to break the bank.

THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIZOO YACHT CHARTER

The yacht charter industry has experienced rapid transformation in recent years, with online search platforms like Zizoo promising to disrupt traditional models. For a time, Zizoo seemed to deliver on that promise, connecting customers with yachts worldwide through a sleek and accessible interface. However, behind the scenes, cracks were beginning to form.

From its meteoric rise to its ultimate insolvency, Zizoo’s story is a cautionary tale of unchecked ambition, financial mismanagement, and the pitfalls of rapid expansion without a solid foundation. Allegations of failing to transfer customer payments and mounting legal troubles left a trail of disappointed customers, unpaid fleets, and industry skepticism.

Even more intriguing is the aftermath—Zizoo was acquired by The Boat Engine Ltd, a phoenix company emerging from the ashes of Borrow A Boat’s own insolvency. The story raises pressing questions about transparency, sustainability, and trust in the growing online yacht charter market.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: choosing a reliable charter company matters now more than ever. Trust, transparency, and financial stability are critical for safeguarding the dream of an unforgettable sailing adventure.
