In a face-to-screen discussion with Paschalis Patsiokas, CEO of BWA Yachting,
SuperYacht Times was struck by how his enthusiasm for yachting transcended the limits of the virtual call. “I grew up 20 metres from the sea, so boating is in my blood,” he proudly explains. When it comes to the company he spearheads, the excitement is palpable. Specifically, in regard to one recent development BWA Yachting’s acquisition of A1 Group’s yacht agency technical and provisioning networks and thus, their expansion into Patsiokas’ home country of Greece. Although flirting with the idea for some time, it wasn’t until the last quarter of 2020 that the plan came to fruition.
