## [The New Economics of Yacht Ownership: How Greece's Charter Boom Is Rewriting the Rules](https://blog.ekkayachts.com/blog/greece-charter-boom-is-reshaping-ownership-trends)

For decades, the arithmetic of yacht ownership was simple and largely unforgiving: you bought a yacht because you loved it, not because it made financial sense. A new build depreciated the moment it left the shipyard. A used yacht bled money in maintenance, crew, berthing, and running costs, with little prospect of recouping any of it. Owning a yacht was, in the truest sense, a luxury — a pleasure to be paid for, not an asset to be managed.

Perhaps archeology isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when considering a yacht holiday, be it on your own yacht or when chartering one. Yachting in Greece, however, presents the perfect opportunity to visit some exceptional archeological locations, and to experience some of the oldest wonders in the world. Greek mythology and ancient history become intertwined in such places, bestowing them a distinct type of enchantment.

Our industry of leisure and luxury doesn’t immediately bring to mind ecological sustainability. Nevertheless, we can all contribute by leading a more sustainable on-board lifestyle, minimising our environmental impact while at sea and thus protecting what we love the most: the waters upon which we sail.
