Why We Started
YAL'OOU
To share Greece at its most pure and personal — To open the door to hidden coves, warm welcomes, and days that flow with the sea.
Where Two Visions Meet the Endless Blue
YAL’OOU was born from a shared dream and a strategic union — the merger of L’O Yachting, bringing 17 years of proven expertise in bespoke charters, and Yaloou Exclusive Yachting, celebrated for its soulful, tailor-made journeys. Together, we have redefined the experience of exploring Greece by sea. With a fleet of over 52 premium yachts and bases in Mykonos, Paros, Antiparos, and Athens, YAL’OOU offers exclusive access to the Cyclades, the Saronic Gulf, and hidden gems known only to the sea and wind. Whether for a sun-soaked escape, a milestone celebration, or a corporate retreat, each voyage is crafted with precision, passion, and a personal touch.
Our legacy blends Laurent Labarthe Medrano’s decades of maritime expertise — from luxury yacht management to building one of the Cyclades’ most respected charter companies — with Francesco Lemonis’ vision for immersive, refined hospitality. The result is a seamless fusion of operational excellence, insider knowledge, and creative flair.
At YAL’OOU, we believe your time in Greece should be truly yours — unhurried, elegant, and unforgettable. From your first inquiry to the moment you step ashore, we create experiences that are effortless and extraordinary. Every great journey begins with a dream. Ours began with two.
