Meet Your Skippers- in Greece

Our skippers Nikos, Harris, Flavio, Angelo, Giannis, Panos, Christos, Pericles, George and Kyriakos, Makis, Spiros and Alexandros extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all guests sailing in Greece.
Sail Greece with professional skippers, of Greek origin with wonderful personalities whose, one and only goal, is to make your sailing charter.......an event to remember. !!!!
  Our hostess Maria, Syni and Lorella....read below.

Captains and crew are available for hire to expertly skipper your yacht. Our skippers and hostesses are knowledgeable of the many islands to visit, the best places to swim, shop, eat and the night life hotspots. We choose our skippers for their expertise, their friendliness, outgoing natures and ability to speak the English language. Your skipper will act as your liaison between yourselves and the Greek people. You can expect from your skipper, courteous, friendly service along with expert handling of your yacht.

You need to hire a skipper if you have minimal or no experience in sailing. It is also a good idea to hire a skipper even if some in your party have sailing experience. Sailing the Greek Seas well known for the famous Meltemi Winds, can become a challenge even for the most experienced sailors.  It's also nice to have a skipper to handle the yacht while you relax and enjoy your trip.
Your skipper will be part of your crew for the duration of your charter. You will get to know each other very well and perhaps become good friends! Quarters can be "tight" at times on any yacht and your skipper will discretely allow for privacy and private time between guests. Most often your skipper will enjoy a meal together with your group, to share in your companionship, laugh and have a good time. There may be times that your skipper may not be able to leave the yacht unattended due to weather conditions or some other reason. 

Skipper fees are Euro 130-150 per day 
Hostess/Cook fees are Euro 110-130 per day
A gratuity of 15% is welcome by your crew at charter's end
 
Nikos 
Our affiliate partner in Greece, Nikos of Exas Yachting will see your charter from start to finish. 
There's a good chance Niko will be your skipper when chartering one of his privately owned Bavaria yachts. Niko has had a love affair with the ocean almost from birth. He practically learned to sail as he was learning to walk. His good humor, friendliness and outgoing nature are a close match to his expert sailing and skipper skills. He has earned quite a reputation among our clients and is often sought after as their skipper of choice. 
He welcomes all visitors to his country of Greece and will take every step to ensure a very memorable sailing charter with our yachts. See more of Niko and members of the Exas Family.

Harris
Harris is a boyhood friend of Niko's and an expert sailor. Harris has been sailing for too many years to mention, has extensive race sailing experience and has single handedly sailed to every corner of the Greek Seas. Sailing a yacht to Harris, each and every day, is a dream come true. 
Leave it up to Harris to know the best places to sail, swim, snorkel, fish, eat and shop! He will expertly guide your charter from island to island showing you the beauty of Greece.
Affectionately dubbed  the Sean Connery look alike, Harris awaits your visit and his chance to offer you a wonderful charter experience.
