A propos de moi
Hello there!
I'm Pantelis, a passionate sailor with a deep love for the open sea and a strong desire for exploration. Hailing from Athens, Greece, my relationship with the Aegean Sea began at a young age, and since then, sailing has become an inseparable part of my identity.
With a background in Mechanical Engineering and specialized training in navigation from the Naval Lyceum, I bring a unique blend of technical expertise and practical experience to the world of maritime. Whether sailing close to the shore or navigating through challenging waters, I find excitement and freedom in the art of sailing.
My nautical adventures have led me to breathtaking destinations and the discovery of hidden paradises. However, it's not just about the destinations; it's about the journey itself - the excitement of harnessing the power of the wind, the solidarity among fellow sailors, and the endless opportunities each journey offers.
When I'm not on the water, you can find me improving my skills in mountaineering or conquering long distances in running. I firmly believe in pushing my limits and embracing new challenges, both on land and at sea.
So, let's start, let's set sail, let's plan our course, and let's embark on an unforgettable journey together!"

I would like to begin by saying Pantelis seems nice and that if you are lucky enough to have him as your captain you may be in good hands. That is what I thought I was getting when I paid for My trip. Unfortunately he assigned us to another captain and the experience was not anywhere near the price tag of $2000 euros for two nights. The deck hand was very nice and tried to be helpful but doesn’t speak English. But The captain he assigned us to rarely spoke and when we asked questions the answers were short and not helpful so we just stopped asking questions. We had to figure out most things on our own using the internet or exploring the boat ourselves. He never asked how we were doing or if we needed anything, or if we had any questions, he never showed us the cabin or where things were. He never introduced himself. He also never told us where we were going or what we were seeing. When we asked, we got short unhelpful answers. He rarely responded to a WhatsApp question and it took us reaching out to Pantelis to find the boat the first morning. I do not care at all about appearance but he wore the same clothes all the days. When we got to a stop he went immediately into the cabin and on his phone. We had to check in with him multiple times when we wanted to leave. I have never written a negative review before but I believe future guests should be warned. This was a once in a lifetime trip for us and fell well short of expectations.

I had the most amazing experience with Pantelis' sailboat rental for a day trip around Paros and Antiparos! From the moment we set sail, their hospitality and thoughtfulness were unparalleled. They provided snacks, took us snorkeling, and ensured our glasses were always filled with wine. The sailboat itself is a true gem - elegantly beautiful and impeccably clean. Pantelis and the crew's extensive knowledge of the area led us to the most stunning spots between the islands. Without a doubt, I would eagerly choose to rent from them again for another unforgettable adventure!

My husband, daughter and I had an absolutely wonderful time sailing with Pantelis and his mate for 5 days 4 nights. They were the kindest, most accommodating people who gave us input into the itinerary every day, offering suggestions and taking us to beautiful little-known places for excellent snorkelling, scenic beaches and sunset views. They did everything to ensure we were comfortable, keeping the boat as steady as possible and once even staying up all night to motor us to the next island rather than travel during a windy day, because they knew I was prone to seasickness in rough weather. They were amazing hosts, serving us morning coffee and keeping everything ship shape clean. One evening they caught and served us fresh fish on board. We felt very comfortable, and well taken care of. It was a highlight of our holiday. Highly recommend.
