Michael & DimitrisIn 1989, Dimitris and Michalis Arkas, skippers and owners, along with their father, took a decision that changed their lives and brought them one step closer to a lifetime dream. The foundation of their first yachting company.

They started with the shipbuilding of their sailing yachts for charter purposes. In the meantime, they started buying significant share percentages of other profitable yacht companies and up to 2004, their company’s fleet was comprised of seven sailing yachts.

From 1993, they were pioneers in crewed yacht chartering because they included in the crew list the skipper and a cook-deck hand, in order to optimize the services offered by our vessels.

Please note that up to that period, for all the yachts occupied in the crewed yacht chartering, the crew consisted only of a skipper.

From the beginning of its foundation up to nowadays, its main target was and still remains, to provide its clients with high-quality services.

From 2003 up to 2009, Michalis Arkas was a member of the Board of Directors (BOD) and one of the foundation members of the Greek Professional Bareboat Yacht Owners Association.
