Meet Xenia: Your Expert in Luxury Yacht Charters
French-born Xenia was raised in Greece and from a young age enjoyed travel and the coastal lifestyle.
Xenia has been in the charter business for 10 years, and prior to that, was an accomplished and formally trained jeweller, working in Greece and New York.
In 2012, she followed her passion for the sea and embraced a career in charter.
After obtaining her sailing license and various qualifications and certificates, she started her yachting career and within two years, was offered a permanent crew position on board one of the most successful catamarans in Greece – SERENITY.
Recognised for her skills and client service prowess, Xenia made the passage on the yacht from France to Greece and remained on board for eight years, rising to a senior role of managing and running the yacht’s maintenance.
In 2022, Serenity was sold, and Xenia took the opportunity to pursue a different path within the charter industry, joining Luxury Charter Group as a Broker. Over the many years, the team at LCG had worked closely with Xenia and admired her expertise and professionalism.
During her decade aboard charter yachts, Xenia developed a genuine ability to communicate with charter guests and cater to their needs and their vision of the ideal charter.
“Chartering a yacht is more than a sightseeing trip around the islands,” she says. “It is about stepping out of routine, leaving the constraints of normal life onshore, experiencing new destinations in privacy and comfort, reconnecting with and creating memories among family and friends.”
An expert on charter around the Greek Islands, Xenia knows that an important part of the guest experience is fascinating itineraries and insight into new cultures, which means that every charter is unique no matter the destination.
Xenia speaks four languages: French, Greek, English fluently, and Spanish, and brings to LCG her unrivalled knowledge of the myriad Greek Islands, itineraries to recommend based on weather conditions, a local’s repertoire of authentic Greek experiences, and her ability to match suitable yachts and crew for her clients.
Based on her experience, Xenia knows the most important part of charter for guests is to leave the planning and execution to the experts and just savour every moment.

July, 2023 - Aizu, GreeceHi Xenia
Although this was a last-minute arrangement, our holidays aboard Aizu were perfect. Aizu is very comfortable and is clearly setup for this type of cruise. We were very fortunate with the weather as we only had one day without wind so that we could enjoy 3-5 hours of sailing every day. The crew was absolutely perfect. Bjorn, our captain, understood exactly what we wanted to do and has managed a really nice itinerary combining beautiful bays or coves without too many ‘neighbors’. The food was exactly what we wanted: simple and yet exquisite: hats off to Helena, the Chef and Eli, her assistant. Let’s not forget about Luke who made sure our stays anchored were as pleasant as possible. The service was first class and the crew managed to stay extremely discreet, something that is not very easy on this kind of environment.
We can only recommend Aizu and her crew, hoping that the next guests are as lucky as we were in terms of weather. For 10 days, we have tried to find an issue and this became the morning joke. If perfection was a goal, we would say that the tender is probably not the best suited for Aizu. A great thank you to Aizu and her crew.
