AS OUR MOTTO DECLARES,
“WE ARE LARGE ENOUGH
TO DELIVER, SMALL ENOUGH
TO CARE.”
motto unfolds its philosophy and principles setting clients in central stage.
“As a matter of fact, every client, whether he is buying a small 40 ft yacht or a
large 40-meter yacht, is equally important. For both clients, the moment he
decided to purchase a yacht is a significant one regardless the size. We teach
our team that they always need to bear this in mind and appreciate that, if a
client trusted us for the purchase of a yacht, or even for choosing us to organize
their yachting vacation, it is a huge honor. Therefore, our team understands
that they simply must be hands on to assure that his experience should be
the best in every aspect. To secure that, more than 60% of our team (even in
administrate rolls), in all three companies have a skipper’s license and have
spent significant time on board various types of yachts” says Roy Klajman.
The Greece base team has been carefully selected to offer specialized exper-
tise led by Office Manager, Asimina Papadimitriou who has a strong mari-
time management background. “As the Office Manager, I’m involved in all
the company's activities, sales, charters and the day-to-day operations. I also
cooperate with the sister companies' employees to ensure all services provid-
ed, follow the standards set by the Shareholders. I really like the SAG family.
From the beginning, I’ve always felt like a valued member of the team as they
really appreciate the people that work for them.”
Asimina is joined by Operations Manager, Manousos Syngelakis, who gets
involved across the business and comes from a marine background having
worked in Greece for a yacht management company. Manousos has an ex-
cellent insight into the technical side of yachting and a real passion for the sea
and all types of yachts and their mechanical aspects.
Charter and Sales Manager, Evita Kargioti, whose main responsibilities are
to deal with clients’ requests for yacht charters and support clients who are
buying or selling a yacht. Evita began her career in yachting as a yacht agent in
2013 providing services to commercial and private yachts up to 100m. Evita
has a passion for yachting, which led her to focus her career on yacht charter
and sales roles over the last couple of years.
The Greek office is also supported by Katerina Siouti whose main role is to
manage and enlarge the CA Fleet and to promote charters with the company.
Katerina also looks after management of the smaller yachts sales, ensuring the
smooth collaboration between clients, brokers and owners.
The office’s location allows for an upbuilding business association between
the company’s head office in Gibraltar and its sister company, Stream Yachts,
located in Israel. That is a significant point, as they look at their group of com-
panies like a small yacht where all parts of the crew need to work together and
all parts of the yacht need to be able to work in great synergy and assist each
