In 1983, Christos returned to Athens after living
abroad for many years and established
the naval architecture company AlphaMarine
Ltd., associating a fine team of yacht designers,
naval architects, product managers and engineers
to provide services to the yachting industry with
new builds and impressive refits to a wide range
of mega yachts over 100ft. Alphamarine, firmly
established to this day, still provides full services
in surveys, inspections, feasibility studies, evaluations,
consultancy work, design, engineering, the
technical supervision of refits, complete Project
Management (turnkey) for newbuilds, and Safety
Management (ISM/ISPS).
In 1992 Christos sold his share in AlphaMarine
(constructor of the Mega Yacht Annaliesse
launched in 2004) and built his own yacht, the
displacement yacht Lady K.K, for personal and
charter use. Together with the ownership company
Afromarine Ltd, he established a new personal
company to retain the activities in yacht management
for private and charter yachts and expand in
yacht charter business with a background of a personal
clientele. In 2000 his company was renamed
to Afroudakis Yachting with major activity in the
crewed private yacht charter industry.
Christos Afroudakis has extensive knowledge
in the shipping and yachting industry owing to his
vast experience in mega yacht and ship construction/refits.
Over the years, due to the extensive
knowledge in technical management and impeccable
service and standards provided, our fleet
of charter and management yachts has steadily
expanded to meet the needs of our clients.
Afroudakis Yachting handles the majority of
the crewed charter and private yachts in conjunction
with charter yacht management and brokerage
in Greece and steadily increases their share in
the Mediterranean market.
Christos’ passion for yacht design has always
remained the driving force in his desire to share his
dreams. This is why Christos always proposes to
prospective buyers of a custom yacht to benefit the
