About us

The trade name GAIS s.r.o. first appeared in 2006 in the Czech Republic.

We had our first experience with nautical chartering in 2015 in Italy, in the Sicilian port of Portorosa, where our love for the Aeolian Islands was born. This went hand in hand with ​​creating a small charter base with the first sailing boats. The secondary office was gradually established in Italy, with local units in Latina, Messina, and Palermo.

From 2020, in addition to sailing boat rentals, we also offer our customers other services related to nautical charter and the organization of tours.

An essential structural change took place in 2022 when GAIS s.r.o. split off into two companies:

  1. GAIS CHARTER s.r.o. manages both owned and entrusted boats, takes care of their maintenance, sets up the delivery to customers, and supervises the bases of Portorosa and Palermo.
  2. The name GAIS s.r.o. was inherited from the tour operator and agency that deals with marketing and advertising pleasure boats. Takind care of customers providing them with all the information on vessels and contractual conditions.

Both companies use the GAIS logo; it is a fixed point that links them and, at the same time, guarantees the quality of the services offered.

We do our job with the love of sailing, and our goal is to make your sailing holiday a unique and unforgettable experience.
