About Your Boat Holiday

Independent Superyacht Charter Brokerage — Milan & Worldwide

Your Boat Holiday is a boutique superyacht charter brokerage founded and led by Giulia Di Leo, operating from Via Monte Napoleone, Milan — and following the global yachting calendar from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, the South Pacific, and beyond.

Who we are

Your Boat Holiday specialises in fully crewed luxury yacht charters worldwide, arranging superyacht, motor yacht, sailing yacht, and catamaran charters for discerning private clients across the most sought-after — and the most remote — cruising destinations on the planet.

We are one of the very few Italian yacht charter brokerages with both MYBA corporate and individual membership, and the only one with this standing that covers the full spectrum of worldwide destinations — not only the Mediterranean, but the Caribbean, the Bahamas, Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean, French Polynesia, and destinations far beyond the traditional charter circuit.

Giulia Di Leo Founder · Mediatore Marittimo · MYBA Individual Member

With 15 years of experience in the international luxury yachting industry, Giulia Di Leo is the founder of Your Boat Holiday and one of Italy's most established independent superyacht charter brokers. A qualified Mediatore Marittimo — a legally protected professional title recognised by the Italian Camera di Commercio and required by law to operate as a yacht charter broker in Italy — she combines rigorous professional credentials with deep, first-hand market knowledge built over more than a decade. Fluent in Italian, English, and Spanish, Giulia advises clients across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. Her expertise extends into yacht sales, offering clients comprehensive guidance across both charter and acquisition.

First-hand yacht knowledge

One of the most important distinctions of Your Boat Holiday is the depth of knowledge behind every recommendation. Giulia Di Leo and the YBH team travel regularly to attend the world's most important international yacht shows and charter events — not as visitors, but as working brokers with direct access to vessels, captains, crew, managers, and owners.

This means that when we recommend a yacht, we have been on board. We have met the captain and assessed the crew. We know how the yacht feels underway, how the interiors live day to day, and whether the onboard atmosphere matches what a brochure promises. That first-hand intelligence — accumulated across years of attending these events worldwide — is what allows us to match the right yacht to the right client with genuine confidence.

Our Charter Philosophy

We do not operate as a listing platform. We work with a carefully selected number of clients at any given time, ensuring that every enquiry receives direct, senior broker attention from the first conversation to the moment you step ashore. We take the time to understand your travel style, group dynamics, preferred destinations, and expectations before proposing a single yacht.

All charters are arranged under internationally recognised MYBA or CYBA standard contracts, guaranteeing full transparency, clear contractual terms, and complete legal protection for our clients.

Independent & unbiased

No fleet ownership. Every recommendation is guided solely by your needs, never by inventory bias.

Inspected in person

Every yacht we recommend has been visited at a major show or in port. We know the crew, not just the brochure.

Truly worldwide

Med, Caribbean, Pacific, Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia — we arrange charters in every major cruising ground on earth.

MYBA standard

All charters proceed under MYBA or CYBA contracts — the industry gold standard for client protection.

Industry Memberships

Your Boat Holiday is a MYBA corporate member, and Giulia Di Leo holds an individual MYBA membership — a combination held by very few Italian brokerages, and a direct reflection of the professional standards applied to every charter we arrange. The company is additionally a member of IYBA, CYBA, ECPY, and AYBI. Find out why these professional yacht charter memberships matter when choosing a luxury yacht charter broker.
