Sailing and getting certified in the Greek islands with Captain Dimitris was a great experience. Highly recommended.

Dimitris thank you for the best sailing experience of my life. I look forward to sailing with you in the future. Steve and I have been planning a circumnavigation for over 3 years. We intend to buy a boat in the fall of 2019 and begin circumnavigating in the spring 2020. If there is any possible way you could sail with us at any point it would be a privilege for us. Thanks again for all the memories.

Captain Dimitris, I appreciate your professional instruction of the ASA courses. Bob, Tescha, Matt and I had a great time sailing with you in Greece. The islands were breathtaking! Bob and I hope to connect with you next year to join your Flotilla. Wishing you the very best in your new endeavors.
