Irene Petrakis Guest Services

You may have found us over the internet which is a great tool for finding what you need but often lacks the personalization that our clients require – that’s why we believe that the difference in your yachting experience between yachting companies is not necessarily just the yacht but your entire customer experience with the yachting team.

Our guest services team have extensive experience in organzing, orchestrating and creating the right atmosphere for our clients. We are the consierge of yachts so no request or question is too diffult for us to answer. Below are some of our frequently asked questions that will help you in your planning of your yacht charter. Check back frequently as I often change the topic of discussion and provide updated questions from all of our clients around the world and of course the answers!

We look forward to welcoming you on board and please send us your questions and we will make sure to get them answered for you.

Best regards,

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How will Endless Blue make a difference to my vacation or special event?

A. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and this only happens through our communication with you. From the moment you select your vessel you will be introduced to one of our yachting associates. He or she will then work with you to create the vacation of your dreams. You will be guided through the procedures of finalizing your booking and offered personal advice to help you gain the most out of your trip. Your personal yachting associate will even meet you upon arrival and be there to bid you a safe journey home on departure!
We love what we do and we believe that we show that from our first point of contact with you.

Q. I want to see the real Greece – is this possible or has it become package tourism?

A. The beauty of Greece is that the original magic of the country and the people still exist. There are some wonderful small fishing islands to see and mix with locals and local lifestyles. There are untouched swimming spots with crystal clear waters that can only be reached by boat and for the evening you can find family run tavernas with Grandma still cooking in the kitchen!
However, if you prefer the islands bustling with tourists and the crazy nightlife – we can easily provide that too!

Q. Are there set days for charter bookings?

A. We understand that your vacation does not necessarily begin on a Saturday and therefore we do not provide set days for checking in or departing. We will do our best to accommodate the dates you require.

Q. Can I have a car pick me up at the airport?

A. Of course – we can arrange for an airport pick-up/drop off for you – or perhaps make it easier and have both!

Q. What type of money is accepted?

A. Euros are accepted throughout Greece. MasterCard and Visa are accepted more commonly than other credit cards.
It is always a good idea to have cash on you, when you pop into small gift stores.
There are also ATM machines at all larger island ports

Q. What should I bring?

A. In Summer the weather can be very hot during the day but the evenings may also be cooler as many of the islands are windy, so always bring a windbreaker or tracksuit to keep you warm while relaxing on deck at night.
Otherwise, the island lifestyle is generally stylish yet casual. You will need your beach wear, something smart-casual for dinners at Greek tavernas and whatever you normally wear to bars or nightclubs.
Bring your protective beachwear and sunscreens.
Don’t forget any medication you may require while traveling.

Q. Will my cell phone work?

A. Greece operates on a GSM network, so most do work. American cell phones will not work unless they are tri-band.

Q. How do the catamarans go?

A. Average cruising speed by engine is 7NM/Hour
Average cruising speed by sail is 11NM/Hour

Q. Do the cats have a dinghy?

A. Yes, please look at our vessel descriptions. We recommend that you do not load the dinghies with more than 4 persons at a time and do not approach rocky areas.

Q. Is there snorkel gear on board?

A. Our elite line crewed catamarans have gear for snorkeling. We recommend you bring your own mouthpiece for hygiene purposes. If you’re a more advanced diver than just snorkeling – let us know to have diving gear on board waiting for you. Your yachting associate will tell you the areas where you can dive as Greece ,due to its wealth of ancient artifacts, has many restricted areas for diving

Q. How much storage do the cats have?

A. Each cabin has a storage unit for two medium sized cases and a small cupboard. Our recommendation is always soft luggage as it is easier to store.

Q. Do the cats have generators?

A. Our elite line crewed catamarans have generators and the voltage system is 220volts with the standard European plug has two prongs.
If you are not from Europe you will need to bring a converter to change your voltage system to our 220 volts and an adaptor that changes your electrical plug to the European 2-prong. This is important, otherwise it can damage the cat and your electrical appliance.

The rest of our fleet of catamarans do not have generators but do have shore power lines. Its always wise to be conservative on your battery usage.

Q. Do you provide bed linen?

A. We provide sheets, pillows, pillowcases and blankets for all.

Q. Do you provide towels?

A. We provide one bath towel per person per week. We advise that you bring your own beach towels.

Q. Can we fish?

A. Yes you can fish, however we do not provide rods etc.
Bait and line can be bought at all ports.

Q. Can we eat our catch?

A. Yes you can clean, cook and eat your catch!

Q. Can we spearfish?

A. You can spearfish as long as you free-dive – no oxygen tanks otherwise you will be subjected to a huge fine and the vessel will be called back from charter.

Q. Why don’t you include fuel in the price of the vessel?

A. Factors such as fuel are totally based on consumption levels.
The cats have approximately 450Lt capacity for fuel. If you choose to travel on sail rather than engine you will not use will much fuel and your costs will be less expensive than if you were travelling on the engines. Another reason is that the price of fuel fluctuates and therefore it is difficult to estimate its cost. We do offer all-inclusive programs as well if you don’t want to have to worry about any local charges.

Q. Why don’t you include water in the price of the vessel?

A. When referring to water, we mean your water for general usage such as showers, plate washing and rinsing off salt water after a swim. Your drinking water is always bottled. The cats have approximately 600Lt tanks for general usage water. This is totally based on consumption and as some people are more conservative with their water usage than others. For your estimates be prepared to pay approximately 30 Euros for a tank fill.
