Acquera Yachting Purchases G&K Yachting

Stefano Tositti, CEO of Acquera Yachting, has announced that the company has purchased Greek yacht agents G&K Yachting just three months after acquiring Spanish company Evolution Yacht Agents.

In April 2018, the two companies signed a preliminary agreement for Acquera Yachting to acquire 100% of G&K Yachting’s agency division. The acquisition investment strengthens Acquera Yachting’s growing presence across the Mediterranean, which now covers Greece, Turkey and Albania in addition to Italy, France, Monaco, Montenegro and more recently Spain. The new development reinforces the company’s deep commitment to become a major player in the yacht agency sector.

“Since our inception, our mission has been to embrace a truly customer-driven approach. With the addition of G&K Yachting to our Group, and during this fast-paced stage of growth we will continue to deliver the highest level of service that is foremost driven by and for our clients,” commented Tositti.

 “We are elated to be joining forces with Acquera Yachting and Evolution Yacht Agents. The acquisition is a clear endorsement of our vision to craft a global team of yachting experts that allows captains to rest assured that they will receive the same level of excellence wherever they are around the world. We are very much looking forward to working together to deliver the best customer journey possible” said Georgios Mourkakos, director and co-founder of G&K Yachting.

Kostas Skiathitis, director and co-founder of G&K Yachting added: “G&K Yachting was established with the mission to offer high value services to captains and crew with intelligent support and technical expertise in the Mediterranean and beyond. Merging with Acquera Yachting and Evolution Yacht Agents, allows us to continue this mission, and equally as important our culture and principles.”

Acquera Yachting is part of the Acquera Group that is made up of two divisions:
