Rosa Dei Venti

Konstantinos is a highly experienced certified sailing instructor and professional skipper, graduate of the department of Physical Education and Sports Science of the University of Athens, with numerous participations and trophy winnings in sailing regattas. A lifelong boater of Kalymnian origin, he fell in love with the sea from a very young age. He spent his free time developing his boat handling skills along with local fishermen and sailors in the island and realized that he would spend his life on the water. At the age of ten, he tried sailing for the first time and discovered a passion that would consume him ever since; growing from avid dinghy sailor to accomplished offshore racer and cruiser. He has steered yachts of several types and sizes throughout the Aegean and the Ionian Sea and gained extensive local knowledge of the Greek waters. Although later he purchased a successful career in finance, he never gave up sailing and kept working simultaneously as a sailing instructor. After retiring from the corporate world, he started working full time as a skipper again and indulged in charter boating. Thanks to his strong financial and banking background and over 20 years of experience in positions of increasing responsibilities and duties, he works efficiently in a multi-tasking environment and is committed to excellence and world-class customer service. Guest feedback says he is an excellent captain and host with an enthusiastic welcome for all guests. He remains calm in all situations and patient with guests at all levels of sailing experience. He and his family have grown to enjoy the sense of independence, freedom and adventure that go hand in hand with sailing.
