CYBA

FX Yaching - Going Green To Save The Blue!

Let’s unite

in Going Green to Save the Blue because, together,

we can make a difference!

Committed to Going Green to Save Our Oceans

FX Yachting follows and support CYBA initiative and it is dedicated to fostering professionalism and sustainability in the yacht charter industry. The ocean, our beautiful workspace, inspires us to protect our destinations and sustain our industry for future generations.

CYBA has championed efforts worldwide to reduce plastic water bottle use on charter yachts, especially in remote areas lacking recycling facilities. Plastic bottles, which can take over 400 years to break down, pose a serious environmental concern. Fortunately, many luxury yachts now have watermakers that provide purified water onboard, making it simple for guests to avoid plastic altogether. By encouraging yachts to offer this ecofriendly alternative, we can help keep millions of plastic bottles out of landfills.

Our commitment to environmental stewardship extends to supporting CYBA’s Designer Water Contest, held at charter shows in the Caribbean, U.S., and Greece. Last year, CYBA introduced this initiative at the EMMYS Show in Poros, Greece. Additionally, our CEO, Barbara Gabriel,a proud Board and Committe Member, has served as a judge for this competition at the Antigua Yacht Show in 2022 and 2023. The contest spotlights the benefits of reducing single-use plastics and encourages yachts to highlight their sustainable practices in their e-brochures.

It is worth mentioning that FX Yachting won 3 awards in CYBA Water Competition in EMMYS 2024.

Top notch service. We wanted for nothing the entire trip. The food and presentation was absolutely top tier. Chef checked in with us at the beginning of the charter and adhered to our preferences. Every meal was better than the one before.

The captain and the Crew ensured that we had an amazing vacation. They were incredibly professional, kind, and hospitable. They truly went beyond and above for us to have a magical time. Everything surpassed our expectations.

AURELIA

Well done to your team - as always they do not disappoint!

We have had an excellent time! The crew have been fabulous and the food delicious. I cannot rate the team high enough!

Navya is a beautiful yacht. Being so new, everything was modern and beautifully fit out. It was meticulously clean, bed linen and towels were a lovely quality and it was surprisingly spacious. There were many areas to sit and relax, enjoy the sun and as a family of five we all felt we were not crowded in on one another and had space. The air conditioning was a gift! The boat was equipped with everything you could need – water scooters, paddle boards, snorkels, goggles, flippers and of course the donut. Captain Tasos took the kids out several times on it and they loved it.

We had never sailed in a yacht before or a spent night on one. We all absolutely the loved the experience and felt it was a magic way to celebrate Mat’s 50th. It enabled us to see many islands in a short time and many sights only accessible by boat which we hadn’t realised. A large cruise ship didn’t appeal to us. We would definitely book another charter on Navya.

KIMATA

We are all having a great time! The boat is beautiful and the crew is absolutely fantastic. Kimata was the perfect boat for us! She is beautiful and spacious, just right for our group.

The crew, however, made our trip! We loved the passion they have for their country and their excitement they showed for sharing it with us. We were pampered from the minute we arrived until we docked in Athens.

Themis is a great chef, we loved his passion for Greek cuisine, we were well fed for sure.

CHRISTAL MIO

We are very happy with everything. We decided for the Cyclades because it seemed the less crowded tour and the weather was good for it.

The boat is right as we wanted it with a lot of space in the outside. For us a perfect choice. The crew is fantastic. Competent, relaxed, sympatic and well organized.

ELLY

I recently had the privilege of chartering your stunning yacht, *ELLY*, and while the beauty and elegance of the vessel were truly remarkable, it was the crew that made this holiday a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Captain George was a phenomenal leader—professional, experienced, and always making us feel safe and well taken care of. Nancy, with her warm and attentive nature, catered to our every need, ensuring that we had a perfect and stress-free time. And Costas—what an absolute culinary genius! Every meal he prepared was not just delicious but also a true work of art.

You are incredibly fortunate to have such an extraordinary team looking after your magnificent yacht. We feel so grateful to have met these beautiful people who made our journey unforgettable. I just wanted to share my appreciation for their exceptional service and for the overall experience aboard.
