Kassandra and Alexandra Lefakinis, women who define the new benchmarks in luxury yacht chartering, are co-owners and managing partners in the second generation of Valef Yachts. A family business that pioneered luxury and mega yacht charters in Greece when it was founded in 1969. 

The American-Greek sisters carefully select from a portfolio built of the most extensive and exclusive fleet of yachts and classic boats with history, including the Puritan sailing yacht built in 1930 and carefully restored to its original grandeur, designed to exceed their clients’ expectations for a luxury yacht charter in Greece and the Mediterranean.

 “We are not operating in tourism; we operate ’boutique’ for thoughtful travelers,” says Alexandra Lefakinis.

“We create unique experiences based on the best Greece has to offer,” says Kassandra, explaining the process by which her guests are seamlessly immersed in the country and culture. Since the foundation of Valef Yachts by their father Vassilios “Bill” Lefakinis, the intrinsic desire of the family business has been to promote the uniqueness of Greece, not only in terms of nature with every Aegean island to choose from but also in terms of the unique traditions including the world-famous Greek hospitality.
