Yatco has appointed Mike Hutton as new director of charter and Christos Rigalos as field representative for Greece. Hutton will be based in the UK, is a seasoned charter professional with over 22 years of experience in the yacht charter market and will oversee Yatco’s all-new charter MLS.

The platform offers yachting enthusiasts worldwide access to a real-time, accurate source of yachts for charter represented by the top professionals in the yachting industry. Yatco’s new charter MLS will also allow brokerage firms worldwide to boost their cross-selling efforts by giving them access to one integrated platform where they can share information on their fleet for sale and charter with their colleagues in the industry.

Hutton says: “I am thrilled to join the team and eager to help Yatco become the world’s leading charter platform online. My decades of experience have given me an in-depth knowledge of the yacht charter market. I am adept in designing and facilitating continuous improvement initiatives to meet clients’ changing needs.”

As Yatco’s newest European representative, Rigalos will support Yatco members in Greece, Turkey, and Cyprus.

With Greece and the eastern Mediterranean emerging as a major yachting destination, Yatco says Rigalos’ experience on the ground will better help to serve those local to the region.

Rigalos says: “This is a great opportunity for me. I can play a significant role with the Yatco professional members by presenting them with the yachting leaders of my country and those in nearby Turkey and Cyprus, which have a significant share in the yacht market today.”
