Brief

Ilias Vlaikoudis (Captain)

As a highly expert in seafaring as a trainee at Merchant Marine Academy, holding the International Offshore Sailing License, my dedication to the sea and the sailing boats, after 10 years of experience while sailing at sea, led me to become a sailing instructor. After years of high education and passing successful exams, I am holding the ISAF Coach license. With a high ability to impart knowledge, I have successfully developed not only the sailing skills to the new sailors but also the seafaring and the sense of caring for the sailing boats.

My need to exist in the sea all year long made me occupied as a skipper in the summer period and undertake the transportation of sailing boats not only in the Greek boundaries but also from abroad (France, Italy). Safety is in my priors as one of the many vital responsibilities required in managing a sailboat and its crew. Continuous communication with either the owners or the boat managers I have cooperating with over the years leads to on-time problems solution and the proper operation of the vessel.

Strong communication and organizational skills in combine with the awareness of the weather make the perfect guide in planning the ideal sailing routes adaptable to everybody's needs. Despite all odds s facing difficult situations and finding solutions to all kinds of issues during a boat delivery, make the profile of a capable leader with a great team spirit and highly recommended skills of a results-oriented professional.
