Almi Yachts

I restructured the activities of Almi Yachts over a number of years - I couldn't do otherwise - and in 1999 the internet boom, with the accompanying ease of access to you, my clients, brought about the decision to move the company, along with my family, to Corfu.  I prefer living in Corfu anyway, away from the great metropolis of Athens - I could, thanks to the internet, live in Guadalajara and still perform my duties.  I also changed my modus operandi to direct access between you and me, with no more agents and intermediaries to have to rely upon.

This does not mean to say that we do not welcome dialogue and co-operation with agents, but this has to be on a basis of mutual respect and understanding.  At the same time we dramatically reduced our overhead costs by closing the 5 bases and 25 employees we had and entered into agreements with representatives on the major Greek islands, whom you will meet when you start and finish your holidays with us, along with a small army of service providers - technicians, sail makers, engineers, etc.  These people are all at your disposal whenever you may have need of them.

Taking all this into consideration you have logged on to the wrong website if you are looking for fancy offices and lavish marketing methods allied to the cheapest possible sailing holiday.  The yacht, not a plush office, is the benchmark and key to your holiday.  I like to provide, via the owners Almi Yachts is contracted, yachts that are well maintained and looked after and prefer to pay those owners the right price for those considerations.  Naturally, I have to make a living and whilst you will find in our web pages sensible commercial discounts for various eventualities, I am not prepared to haggle as if the whole transaction was an "eastern bazaar".

You have logged on to the right website if you are looking for

• high quality, well maintained yachts
• the guarantee that if something goes wrong during your holiday help is at hand on a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week basis, in the shortest possible time
• the feeling that you are treated as a guest as well as a client, and that from the time you arrive at the Greek airport you are not alone, you do not feel cheated or abandoned, and that this feeling follows you throughout your holiday until you take your flight home.

In Almi Yachts we believe in the pluralism of the web and I have no hesitation in introducing you to other websites - even those of our competitors - to ensure that you find what you need.  Through our directory you have a multitude of sites to choose from - offering charter, brokerage, chandlery, etc. and you are welcome to contact these companies direct.

The linked sites are not under my control and I am not responsible for the contents of either these sites or further links introduced.  They are provided to you as a convenience and in good faith.  Link inclusion does not imply an endorsement of such sites.  Please read our disclaimer page.

Feel free to subscribe to our mailing list, which you will find at the top of this, and all other pages in our site, but make sure you read our mailing list policy before you subscribe. Promotional e-mail bombardment is not my style, so you can rest assured that you will only receive informative and relevant information.  Conversely, we welcome feed-back from you also.

I will close this presentation the way I opened it - by repeating that Almi Yachts is a small family company and that every client is an "asset" and will be treated as such.  If you look at me as your "friend" in Greece, who will assist you with your sailing holiday, then I will do my best not to disappoint you.
