Captain: George Kourniotis
George is an experienced skipper who genuinely loves life at sea and sharing the magic of the Greek islands with his guests—whether he’s sailing or running a fast, smooth day on a power boat. He’s calm, discreet, and easy to be around, with a natural “host” mindset: his goal is for everyone onboard to feel relaxed, looked after, and truly welcome, like they’re travelling with a trusted local friend. When he’s not on the helm, George enjoys exploring new places, finding small seaside tavernas, and he’ll never say no to a good plate of grilled fish with lemon, olive oil, and plenty of homemade sauces on the side. With professional skipper training, a Hellenic Coastguard Speed Boat Operator License, and internationally recognized safety certifications
(First Aid, Sea Survival, VHF), he speaks Greek and English and loves tailoring each trip to the pace, mood, and wishes of his guests.
