“I am thrilled to join Camper & Nicholsons, a highly esteemed brand in the yachting industry, and provide our clients with exceptional services in this prime yachting destination. Our suite of services includes selling and managing new and used yachts, yacht management, project management, charter, and insurance. As the managing director of Camper & Nicholsons Greece, I am committed to delivering a 360-degree approach to meet our client’s needs.” - commented Christos Chatzigiakoumis.
C&N Greece has also hired Sylvia Katsamaki as charter manager and charter broker and Efthimis Karalis as a sales broker.
