Clarity is the true luxury.
Our name comes from a very old gesture: holding out a thread so no one loses their way.
Three thousand years ago, in Crete, lived a princess. Ariane.
Beneath the palace stretched a vast labyrinth, built for losing one's way.
One day a traveller came to cross it. She held out a thread to him.
She promised him: "I'll hold the other end."
He crossed, and the thread led him back.
Today, chartering a yacht has become a labyrinth.
Behind every charter hide dozens of decisions: which yacht, which season, which port, which contract, which crew, which budget.
We are Ariane. We work for no one but you. Not for an owner, not for a fleet.
We hold the thread, from the first brief to your return to the dock. Welcome to Ariane Yachting.
Five teams, one thread.
A Geneva house, independent and solid. It belongs to no fleet, no owner: its only mandate is yours.
Chartering is a collective craft.
Our role is to be its thread, not to replace it.
Sole masters on board, always. The final route, safety, the sea: their decisions. We give them an impeccable brief, and we trust them fully.
The hospitality that makes the week. Your preferences reach them before boarding, so they can do what they do better than anyone.
The intimate knowledge of each boat. We work with them within the MYBA framework, in trust.
The table is half the voyage. Diets, cravings, children's ages: everything is passed on, nothing is discovered on the first evening.
