Since 1987
Born from a Love for the Sea.
Trusted for Nearly Four Decades.
From a single-person company in Munich to one of Europe's most respected yacht charter brokers — this is our story.

The Origin Story
A Vision Built on Trust
In February 1987, in Munich's vibrant Schwabing district, Jordanis Chatziveroglou founded Cosmos Yachting with one conviction: that a yachting company should be built on trust above all else.
What began as a single-person operation quickly grew into a respected name in the European yachting industry. By 1991, Cosmos had offices in both Germany and London. By 1996, the first own charter fleet was sailing the Greek islands.
Today, with over 38 years of experience, Cosmos Yachting manages a fleet of 37+ own yachts, operates 7 charter bases across Greece and Turkey, and serves clients from more than 27 countries. The company remains family-led, combining decades of maritime expertise with modern technology.
"At Cosmos Yachting, our passion for the sea drives everything we do. For us, yachting isn't just about leisure; it's a way of life — an opportunity to connect with the ocean, explore distant shores, and revel in the exhilarating sense of freedom it offers."
