Meet the skipper

Safety as a priority and seamanship at high standards. With over 8 years of professional experience, local knowledge over the Cyclades Archipelago and more than 20,000 miles in his logbook, you can just relax and enjoy the cruise. Nikos is also a certified RYA cruising instructor and while this trip cannot officially be a sailing school vacation, he will be happy to teach you the art of sailing, get you engaged with all the boating tasks and learning the lines and even pass you the helm!

Nikos graduated finance, but his love for the sea made him quit his career at the age of 30 years old and make his dream come true by buying his sailing yacht in 2018 and establishing his first charter company at Cyclades in the heart of the Aegean Sea.

When not sailing, free diving, fishing, photography and windsurfing on windy days are his favorite activities and he is always happy to have his crew getting involved to the level they wish.

  • Greek powerboat operators’ license

“We had a wonderful vacation with Nikos! He showed us amazing swimming spots. Our meals on board were fantastic and he directed us to beautiful authentic tavernas for dinners. We experienced one spot of windy sailing so our girls were able to really feel what it’s like to keal and one loved it the other was not a fan. It was an unforgettable experience that helped us build great memories. We appreciated Nikos and all he did to make this trip memorable. HIGHLY recommend!”

“Thanks Nikos from our heart!
Where to start...?
We both love the water, swimming, snorkelling and diving. it was simply perfect. Nikos is a very professional and relaxed person it it was simply beautiful to have spend these days on his boat with him. Nikos is a real pro and knows how to read the sea, the wind and we had some proper sailing - there was one big problem: it was too short. .-)) we felt so sorry that we have to leave as it felt to stay longer as we had such a good time. Thanks Nikos for this beautiful experience from my heart- as we said we hope to be back very very soon and if possible this year. Take care.”

“Unforgettable Sailing Adventure!
We had the most incredible day on this sailing trip! From the moment we boarded the beautiful sailboat, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and professional skipper, Nico. The entire experience was nothing short of magical — the crystal-clear waters, the stunning coastal views, and the peacefulness of being out at sea were simply breathtaking.

Nico was knowledgeable and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We sailed to some of the most beautiful, hidden spots that we would never have discovered on our own, including a secluded bay where we had the chance to swim and snorkel in pristine waters. The boat was well-equipped, and we even had delicious snacks and drinks provided during the day, which was a lovely touch.

It was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, and I can't recommend this trip enough. If you're looking for a unique and memorable way to explore the coast, this sailing day trip is an absolute must! I’m already planning to come back for another trip. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!”

“We had a 3 day sailing trip in the End of September and it was fantastic. We explored many different beaches not approachable by road and NIck the captain shared with us his knowledge about the area. The food was very good quality and Nick was very friendly and great Captain. We will definitely recommend it and we would it again.”

“We had the best time with Nikos for two nights on his boat back in July this year. We sailed around Milos, Kimolos and Poliegos and jumped off at a few amazing locations in between. Nikos was so knowledgeable and kind, not to mention a great cook! We still laugh about some of the memories made on this trip. Thank you Nikos!! Sorry it’s belated but thought I should write this before we come back again. Love from the four mining girls 😂”
