Alexandros Bouzakis

Skipper

Hailing from Chania, Greece, Alexandros’ passion for sailing was evident from a young age. In 1994 he graduated from the prestigious Lakis Kyriakidis sailing school, earning his open-seas skipper license. In 1995, Alexandros embarked on a captivating 5-month voyage across the Aegean and Ionian seas, covering an impressive distance of 1500 miles. This experience solidified his love for sailing and ignited his desire to explore further. Following his adventurous journey, Alexandros made his way to Zakynthos, Greece, in 1997. Since then, he has been captivating visitors as a skipper on daily cruises. With unwavering dedication and respect for the sea, Alexandros ensures unforgettable experiences for his guests. In 2006, Alexandros fulfilled his lifelong dream by becoming the skipper and co-owner of Soliton, an awe-inspiring 49 ft. Atlantic Sailing vessel. With Soliton as his trusted companion, he continues to craft unforgettable sailing experiences, combining his expertise as a skipper with the thrill of exploration. When the sailing season winds down, Alexandros embraces new challenges by organising and participating in vessel transportation. In 2001, he undertook an epic 1700-mile journey, transporting a sailboat from Zakynthos, Greece, all the way to Bremen, Germany including the river channel system. In 2003, he circumnavigated the picturesque island of Sicily, covering 1100 miles from Zakynthos to Italy. These feats showcase Alexandros’ skill and determination on the open waters. In 2015, Alexandros embarked on his most audacious adventure yet – crossing the Atlantic from Athens, Greece, to Martinique in the Caribbean. This monumental journey spanned a staggering distance of 5200 miles, further solidifying Alexandros’ reputation as a seasoned sailor. In recognition of his exceptional skills and dedication, Alexandros was awarded the prestigious “Master of Yacht” license from the esteemed ISSA International Sailing School in 2016. This accolade attests to his commitment to continuous learning and his profound understanding of the art of sailing.

Happiest yacht skipper in all of Greece? What an amazing day with Alex. So full of enthusiasm, he made our day wonderful. He found a pod of dolphins which played around the prow of the boat, then found a turtle. Ever respectful to keep distance from the wildlife. Suggested a fabulous taverna for lunch which set red exquisite homemade cooking by "Mumma". Many thanks Alex.

Unforgettable! Best experience ever Incredible! One of the best experiences ever! Alex and his friend were so helpful and knowledgeable. Would recommend this to everyone. They even helped my partner climb out of the boat to get to the sea as she isn’t a great swimmer. Beautiful scenery!

Super Sailing Trip! Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Tag an Bord der Soliton. Wie hatten uns für den South Sailing Trip entschieden und dabei wunderschöne Buchten und Caves entdecken können. Alexandros ist sehr herzlich & freundlich und hat uns mit Soft Drinks & super leckeren Sandwiches versorgt. Wir würden sofort wieder buchen!

Thank you for the best day! We took a 1 day boat trip and had an amazing time. Alexandros was super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and showed us some amazing views. The boat is great, we were extremely comfortable with 4 people on board. Alexandros recommended a more relaxed route, which was exactly in line with what we were looking for. He made great suggestions along the way, yet was always open to any ideas that we had. The sandwiches were GREAT 🙂

A trip of a life time It was a trip of a life time! I went with my boyfriend and we had the time of our lives. Together with Alexandros (captain) who was such a kind and sharing person, we went to some beautiful places were we could go for a swim. My boyfriend and I were really interested in sailing so Alexandros learned us a lot of things, we were allowed to help and try some things out by ourselves. It was really great and nice of him to share some of his experience with us! And he also liked it:) But of course if you just wanted to relax it was also fine! It was an amazing day with an amazing captain:) We absolutely recommend this trip with him, because this was definitely the highlight of our vacation! Indy & Niek

Experience Zakynthos from a Sailboat Our fourth trip to Zakynthos was an entirely new experience when sailing, swimming and turtle watching with Captain Alexandros and his daughter along the dramatic coastline! Alexandros and his daughter made every effort to accommodate us and ensure our safety, comfort and a great experience. They even went to the trouble to contact me when they found my lost sunglasses after we had returned to the U.S. Thank You Zakynthos Sailing!
