What Sets Us Apart
Growing up in a place like Greece, with more than 4.000 islands, a coastline of about 14.000 km, sunshine between 2.500 to 3.000 hours annually and sea temperature from 15°C to 28°C, being passionate about sailing looks like a second nature. Especially for us, Cretans, it comes straight from the Minoan era (about 4.000 years ago), maybe even earlier.
Our genuine love and enthusiasm for almost every kind of sea activity inspired us to choose yachting as our profession. MGV-Yachts-Cruises is a prominent yachting and travel company based in Heraklion, Crete, Greece.

Sailors who haven’t the required bareboat license certification. If you do not have the proper license, you can still sail your destination with a crewed charter.
