A bit about us
Pinnacle Yachts was established in 2000, with the purchase of our first yacht "Oneiro", a Jeanneau Sun Dream 29, with the second boat "Sirokos", a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 31 purchased in 2003. The third and largest yacht in our fleet "Thalassa", a Beneteau Oceanis 381 was purchased in 2006. All three yachts are fully licensed for independent charter as required, and meet Offshore Safety Regulations.
Colin completed his sailing qualifications in the UK before heading off to the Ionian Islands in 1996 to work as a flotilla engineer, and then skipper. In 1997/98 Colin and Sue spent time travelling and working in New Zealand and Australia culminating in a position assisting running a new fleet of yachts in the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef. This was followed by a period on a 28 metre yacht based in Palma, Majorca, before returning to the Ionian to work as assistant managers for a large yacht charter company. In 1999 we took on the management of a fleet of eight charter yachts before working fully independently from 2004.
Alongside our charter yachts we also operate a yacht brokerage, details of which can be seen at www.pinnacleyachtsales.com.
"We had a wonderful holiday on "Oneiro", in the beautiful Ionian Sea. The briefing you provided was thorough and thoughtful, the yacht was spotless and gleaming, and the scenery and food stunning".
