At Your Boat Holiday, we are proud to be recognized as a trusted luxury yacht charter industry leader, delivering unparalleled service to discerning clients worldwide.

To give you an insider’s view, we sat down with our founder and general manager, Giulia Di Leo, a highly experienced yacht charter broker with an exceptional maritime and luxury travel career.

Let’s start our interview.

Giulia Di Leo, Your Boat Holiday’s Founder

Certainly! I’m Giulia Di Leo, founder and charter broker of Your Boat Holiday. My passion for yachting began years ago, rooted in my love for the sea. I was born in Milan, Italy, but I’ve spent significant time in the United States, particularly in Florida and California, where I first immersed myself in the world of yachting.

Sailing across the Mediterranean and Atlantic on motor and sailing yachts gave me a profound understanding of the charter experience. My professional journey in the maritime industry began with Ethos Boats and Azure Embark. I oversaw yacht launches and participated in prestigious international shows such as Cannes, Monaco, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Düsseldorf.

These experiences fueled my ambition to create something extraordinary—a boutique yacht brokerage that delivers world-class charters. In 2017, I founded Your Boat Holiday, driven by a desire to combine my expertise with a passion for offering exceptional service.

How did Your Boat Holiday come to life?

After years in the industry, I envisioned a company epitomizing trust, professionalism, and bespoke service. Your Boat Holiday was born out of my determination to elevate yacht charters by delivering highly personalized experiences that cater to every detail.

Today, we are a proud member of the world’s most prestigious yachting associations, including MYBA, CYBA, IYBA, ECPY, PYA, Confindustria Nautica, and VIPCA. We also participate annually in leading yacht shows, such as the MYBA Charter Show, MEDYS, TYBA Show, Antigua Yacht Show, and iconic events like Cannes and Monaco Yacht Shows, ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry excellence.

What Sets Your Boat Holiday Apart? In your opinion, why is Your Boat Holiday among the best in the industry?

We owe our success to a combination of passion, expertise, and commitment to exceeding our clients’ expectations. At Your Boat Holiday, we pride ourselves on offering the finest selection of luxury yachts, superyachts, megayachts, motorboats, catamarans, and sailboats, operating in the world’s most sought-after destinations like the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

We go beyond the broker role by delivering a 360-degree luxury experience. From curating tailor-made itineraries and organizing private transfers to planning exclusive onboard events, we take care of every detail to create seamless and unforgettable journeys for our clients.

The Distinction of MYBA Membership

At Your Boat Holiday, we are proud to be an accredited member of MYBA – The Worldwide Yachting Association, a distinction reserved for the most reputable and professional companies in the yachting industry. MYBA membership is a hallmark of excellence, granted only to those who demonstrate the highest standards of ethics, expertise, and service.

Being part of this elite group places Your Boat Holiday among the top-tier yacht charter companies globally, giving our clients unparalleled confidence in the quality and integrity of our services. MYBA sets the gold standard in the yachting world, from its stringent membership criteria to its globally recognized contracts and charter guidelines.

By subscribing to the MYBA E-Contract, we ensure complete transparency and protection for both charterers and yacht owners. This comprehensive charter agreement, trusted by industry leaders worldwide, governs every aspect of your yacht charter with clarity and precision, guaranteeing a seamless and worry-free experience.

The MYBA E-Contract represents the gold standard of professionalism and security in the yacht charter industry. As an approved MYBA subscriber, Your Boat Holiday ensures every charter agreement is transparent, reliable, and aligned with international best practices.

When you choose Your Boat Holiday, you are assured of a service synonymous with luxury, reliability, and professionalism at the pinnacle of the global yacht charter industry.

Why is the MYBA E-Contract a form of protection for your customers?

These contracts are “Charter Agreements” or “Yacht Services Agreements”. They are of fundamental importance in guaranteeing a whole series of securities, even to the customer who wants to enjoy his sailing holiday peacefully. The MYBA E-Contract Agreement is made available by MYBA for purchase and use electronically only by established, genuine, and reputable Yacht Brokers. 

The leading yacht broker associations have each developed and created their standard contract model. Among these, one of the most important and every day is the MYBA E-Contract Charter Agreement, also used by Your Boat Holiday. 

What advice would you give to someone considering a yacht charter?

Embarking on a luxury yacht charter is a unique experience everyone should try at least once. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or stepping aboard for the first time, the combination of freedom, luxury, and exploration is unmatched.

And when you choose Your Boat Holiday, you’re not just booking a yacht—you’re investing in an unforgettable journey curated with care, precision, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
