Over the years, Giannis has undertaken numerous seagoing transfer assignments and has
skippered both private and charter vessels (39 to 62 ft) - power boats, motor and sailing
yachts (monohulls and catamaran)- both in Greek and international waters.
He is really connected with the yacht “Mojito” because he was the one that observed the
final part of the construction procedure and he also delivered it from the shipyard of Italy to
Greece. Since then, he is sailing with “Mojito” around the Ionian islands, an area which he is
very experienced with, as he used to sail with his father from a very young age. For this
reason, he knows all the secret spots, hidden creeks and picturesque villages of the area.
His gentle demeanor and easy-going personality make him well loved and respected by all
who have the pleasure of sailing with him.
At his free time, he enjoys kitesurfing and waterskiing
