Who We Are

An independent, Athens-based house with deep roots in the market we serve.

Aris Drivas Yachting has been part of Greece's yachting world since 1972 — through the rise of the Greek islands as a global superyacht destination, through the evolution of the crewed charter market, and through every shift in how owners expect their vessels to be managed.

We have not outsourced, expanded beyond our means, or been absorbed into a global network. Being a genuine Greek specialist is not a heritage talking point. It is an operational advantage. We know the yards, the port authorities, the crew networks, and the regulatory framework because we have been working within them for more than half a century.

Our Approach

No two owners manage a yacht the same way.

Some want full operational control handed over. Others want to remain closely involved in decisions. We do not ask clients to fit a service package. We build the arrangement around the owner and the vessel.

Every managed vessel has a single point of contact at ADY. Not a team. Not a department. One person who knows the boat, knows the captain, and can answer a direct question with a direct answer. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.

ADY today is led by a new principal, building on fifty-four years of established relationships, institutional knowledge, and a reputation built without shortcuts. The name above the door has not changed. Nor has the standard.

One size fits one.
Our approach to every managed vessel

If you are considering bringing a vessel under management, we are available for a direct conversation.
