A Journey of Friendship, Passion & the Sea
Every great adventure starts with a dream. Ours began with four childhood friends, a love for the sea, and a vision to create something truly special. Today, that vision is Athens Boat Tour, an experience crafted by people who share a deep connection not only with each other but also with the Aegean waters.
How It All Began
A Phone Call That Changed Everything
It all started with a phone call. One evening, Stathis called me and said, “Panos, I’d like you to meet our best friend, Dimitris. We have something in mind, and we need your help.”
I wasn’t living nearby at the time, but when old friends call, you don’t say no. The very next day, Stathis, Stavros and Dimitris came to meet me. We sat down by the sea, the waves in the background, and over a soft drink, they shared their dream:
“We want to offer people an authentic way to experience the Greek islands. Not just another boat tour, but a true journey—filled with hidden gems, great food, and real Greek hospitality.”
Dimitris, the dreamer and founder of this company, had been thinking about this for a long time. Stavros, our captain, had years of experience sailing across the Greek seas. Stathis, with his background in shipping companies, knew the business side of things inside out. And as for me, an electronic engineer turned web developer, they needed my help to build the website and assist in launching their vision.
That day, Athens Boat Tour was born.
Meet the Team
Friends First, Business Partners Second
Dimitris – The Dreamer & Founder
Dimitris is the heart of this project. With a deep passion for the sea and Greek hospitality, he envisioned an experience where travelers could explore the hidden treasures of the Saronic Gulf in a unique, intimate way. His dream turned into reality, and today, Athens Boat Tour is a testament to his dedication.
Stavros – The Captain
With decades of experience at sea, Stavros is the one who ensures every journey is smooth, safe, and unforgettable. His knowledge of the Greek islands, the best spots for swimming, and his warm personality make every cruise feel like a private voyage with an old friend.
Stathis – The Business Mind
Having worked in shipping companies for years, Stathis brought invaluable expertise in logistics and operations. From organizing the itinerary to ensuring top-notch service, he plays a crucial role in making sure everything runs seamlessly.
Panos – The Tech & Strategy Guy
With a background in electronic engineering and a shift into web development, my role was to build the digital side of Athens Boat Tour. What started as a website project quickly became much more—I became part of the team, helping with marketing, bookings, and the overall growth of the company.
Why We Do This
More Than a Business—A Shared Passion
We didn’t start this business just to offer boat trips. We started it because we wanted to share the Greece we know and love—the small islands, the secret coves, the taste of fresh seafood, the feeling of diving into the clearest waters you’ve ever seen.
For us, Athens Boat Tour is not just a company. It’s our shared story—one built on friendship, trust, and the dream of creating unforgettable experiences for every traveler who steps on board.
