Daphne Tsevdos
Founder & Broker

My experience within the yachting industry began in 2000 when I was approached by the owner of Christina O to be in charge of marketing. Subsequently, I was head hunted by the owner of 72 m RM ELEGANT to act as central agent and then by the owner of OMEGA in 2010. My experience with the larger yachts is renown and am always available to assist brokers around the globe as this is a specialised field. In the last 13 years, I have been charter manager of a fleet of yachts varying in size from 24metres to 86metres with charters worldwide. Thanks to my expertise I have been able to provide our clients with the very best yachts available on the market.

Charter Broker

Growing up bi-culturally, I’ve shared my time between the Pacific Northwest of the United States and sunny Athens, Greece. From the Pacific Ocean to the calm of the Aegean, endless opportunities to be on the water boating and taking part in literally all water sports! I particularly enjoy water skiing and perfecting the very new sport of foiling. When out of the water, I love playing tennis. I am pleased to have been able to combine working in yachting with earning a master’s degree from City, University of London. My dissertation- the ecological footprint of the mega yacht industry. Fun fact: my trusted companion on all water escapades is Molly, a fearless Cocker-spaniel!

Kostantinos Oikonomidis
Charter Broker

Just hand me a board and I’m off, whether it’s conquering the waves, or the snow-topped peaks! However, my first love and passion has always been for the sea, having been raised on the coast, in Vouliagmeni. When I was 5, I got hands-on experience in sailing which progressed to Olympic class windsurfing during my university years. As a professional athlete taking part in European and world championships, I have always been surrounded by the sea and yachts. I’m excited to be part of the Yachtsman team and enjoy the challenges of chartering!

Renee Belousis
Charter consultant

The sea is where my heart is. At Yachtsman, I bring to the table my yachting experience having spent many holidays onboard yachts. I am Greek Australian born and raised in Sydney. I moved to the UK where I worked as a project manager and then moved to Athens where I worked in the Marine Industry and was the founder of a retail start up. I’m hoping that my cross industry (& cross continent experience) together with my people and organisational skills will make me indispensable to the team.
