Captain Dimitris, I appreciate your professional instruction of the ASA courses. Bob, Tescha, Matt and I had a great time sailing with you in Greece. The islands were breathtaking! Bob and I hope to connect with you next year to join your Flotilla. Wishing you the very best in your new endeavors.

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.
