About GEM Services & Yachting
A Boutique Yachting Experience Defined by Precision, Discretion & Owner‑First Excellence GEM Services & Yachting was created with a clear philosophy: every yacht owner deserves a premium, refined and truly personalized level of service, one that provides clarity, safety and effortless enjoyment in every moment onboard.
Based in Greece and operating internationally, GEM supports private and commercial yacht owners with a unique blend of technical expertise, operational precision and hospitality‑driven service. This combination reflects the essence of modern luxury yachting: organised, detail‑oriented and deeply personal.
Our promise is simple and genuine: “You enjoy your yacht, we take care of everything else.”

- Ro-Ro & passenger ships
