I sailed with Dimitris Bampakos.  Fabulous trip with a very knowledgeable and competent captain.  I'm looking forward to another trip to the Greek Isles.

Sailing the Mediterranean and visiting the Greek islands was a life time experience. Dimitris is very experienced and professional Captain. I have sailed with him in the Caribbean as well and I highly recommend him as an ASA instructor.

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.

Had a wonderful week sailing around the Greek islands. Dimitris is a very confident and professional skipper. His teaching abilities and patience with students cannot be surpassed. Would love to sail with him again.
