What clients say about Yanna
Perfection, a second time
This was my second time chartering with DMA, another exceptional experience. Yanna and Daniel were both very prompt and attentive with answering questions and guiding us to the right option. We had a hiccup with our planned itinerary late in the process and they were able to make a quick adjustment, which allowed us to take our trip exactly as planned.

We have just returned to Los Angeles from a yacht charter booked through DMA. My wife, I, and our guests all enjoyed the week along the French Riviera aboard YAKOS [...] Thanks to Yanna Pristas at DMA for her help coordinating everything. I would not hesitate recommending the company to other prospective charter groups.

The experience with DMA was excellent, top to bottom. The yacht selected was appropriate for our goals, a multi week, multi stop vacation. The crew was the best, the yacht was exactly as described, and all details were coordinated with their rep, Yanna, from beginning to end.

Yanna’s latest yacht reviews
BELLA STELLA
Seen at the MEDYS Yacht Show in Nafplion, Greece
“Bella Stella is truly the pearl of the sea. Originally built in 1987, this spectacular yacht has been completely rebuilt in recent years and continues to receive annual upgrades. Thanks to her 1980s design, the cabins are exceptionally spacious, something rarely found on modern yachts.
The owner and crew have a deep affection for Bella Stella, and you can feel their passion the moment you step aboard. The captain has been with the yacht since 2012, ensuring consistency, care, and expert knowledge of every detail.
If you’re looking for a unique and lovingly maintained yacht, Bella Stella is it.”
TIMBUKTU
Seen at MEDYS Yacht Show 2025 in Nafplion, Greece
“TIMBUKTU is a yacht for art lovers! And she is a 42m yacht that feels like a 50m yacht.
The big plus of this incredible tasteful yacht is that she has two master cabins, both full beam. The cabins are bigger and wider compared to other 42m yachts. The yacht is filled with art, featuring a 200-year-old dress of an Indian princess in the main salon. The crew of the yacht is very professional and friendly. Recommended for couples and also families. The yacht has a main deck, an upper deck, and a sundeck with a big jacuzzi.“
ANASA
Seen at MEDYS Yacht Show 2025 in Nafplion, Greece
“At the broker’s lunch onboard M/Y Anasa at MEDYS Yacht Show 2025.
When I stepped on ANASA, I was welcomed by a very professional and kind crew. The captain is a very organized person who knows how to accommodate every wish of his client. His knowledge of Greek waters and secret areas is very impressive. His crew can organize themed dinners or lunches every day. The real gem of the crew is the superb chef Stavros. ANASA is perfect for family charters, also with small children- the stairs are secured, so little ones are always safe. The selection of water toys is generous and offers both adult and kids’ versions of every toy.“
