              so much potential for future development across Greece
              to pave the way for charter, marina management and yacht
              brokerage businesses. The region’s infrastructure is rela-
              tively underdeveloped as much of it has been caught up in
              the longstanding traditions of its famous maritime history.
              With the success and experience we’ve built up within our
              sister companies, we began looking at new opportunities
              and took the step to expand into Greece and develop our
              much-needed services there.” said Roy Klajman of SAG.

              “We saw a lot of potential in Greece” said Roy. “ With an
              abundance of coastline, high levels of tourism and a devel-
              oping maritime infrastructure which is ripe for investment,
              we were very confident that we can build a business which
              serves not only sail tourism and the abundance of yacht
              owners but also one that feeds into the wider strategy for
              improving the maritime industry of Greece.

              “We want to bring a new level of service to the local market,
              we take every client’s needs and wants seriously and truly
              believe in our slogan ‘Big enough to deliver, small enough
              to care’.  This combined with all that  Greece  has to offer,
              makes it the perfect location to expand into and continue
              to grow within.”

              Sea Alliance Group already manages several CAs from
              Greece, offering luxurious cruising aboard 35m sailing yacht
