Captain - Sotiris Drokalos

His name is Sotiris but everyone calls him "Captain SO."
Everything he knows about himself is that he loves the sea, that he was born near it, that he lives by and for it.
His sailing experience began when he was ten years old, thanks to his father who bought him his first windsurf. This is when he decided to follow his dream of becoming a seafarer.
He has spent more than ten years as a captain on a variety of sailing vessels in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Because of his sailing experience, calmness, dedication, and vigilance, he can safely sail you under any circumstances and he will do my best to ensure that your holiday exceeds your higher expectations!
A bit more of me... S.C.U.B.A. is one of his hobbies. Diving, flying ultralight aircraft, skiing, windsurfing, playing the guitar, playing and designing board games are all things he enjoys doing
but ultimately, all he does is spend his free time with his 3-year-old twins.
Don't forget... "A bad day of sailing is much better than a good day of working"
See you aboard.
