About me

I believe sailing is one of the last ways to truly embrace the explorer spirit. Before I chose the path to be a captain, I worked as a tour guide in Paris and as an Artificial Intelligence engineer. I was developing an application that can show how places, like the Louvre, looked thousands of years ago and after work share my knowledge with tourists. By accident, 5 years ago I bought a sailing trip in Greece that opened my eyes to how I could continue my passion for history and cultural exploration without staring at my laptop all of the time. Since then, I've been immersed in the world of sailing: I worked as base staff to understand how boats work, competed in regattas to grasp all the subtleties of setting sails, developed sailing routes from scratch, and put these routes into practice as a captain. I see the modern skipper as more than just a "boat pilot." We are storytellers, historians, local cuisine experts, coaches, and leaders, dedicated to providing a rich and fulfilling experience. I would like to present this paradigm to you and encourage you to explore the adventures that I provide.

My experience

Currently, I work as a skipper and a Tactician for the Favorit racing team. I recently opened my own company and experiences on this website are my first personally developed adventures. My expertise lies primarily in navigating the captivating waters of the Aegean and the Canary Islands. I have dedicated the majority of my sailing endeavours to exploring the most remote, wild and virgin places of these regions. However, my experience extends beyond Greek borders, encompassing voyages along the Turkish, Italian, French, and Croatian coastlines. Throughout my career, I have consistently sought opportunities to expand my skill set. I have accumulated in total more than 5600 nautical miles, with 2783 NM as a skipper. I am happy to announce that In 2024 I have sailed around 1300 miles and am close to visiting all of the Aegean islands. Furthermore, I have served as base staff and engineer, contributing to a deep understanding of boat functionalities. My capabilities also include racing experience in various roles.
