to the leader in Greek luxury yachting.
Istion Yachting was founded in 1992 on the island of Kos by Ioannis Kourounis, starting with a small fleet of sailing yachts for bareboat and skippered charters. Istion has since grown to become a market leader in the Greek yachting industry, with main bases throughout Greece and, since 2023, also in Croatia.
Istion Luxury Yachts was created to serve the increasing demand for luxury charters with fully-crewed yachts. Our crewed fleet is now the largest in Greece, and we are proud of our ability to provide tailor-made sailing holidays with the highest standard of luxury and privacy to our esteemed clientele worldwide.
A sizable force of returning customers and a large network of credible charter brokers from around the globe entrust us with their holidays each year, accounting for over 1,500 boat bookings annually. Our fleet continues to grow as more yacht owners entrust their luxury yachts to us, confident in our successful charter marketing and trustworthy brokerage services.
For over three decades,
