Learn how to sail on Catamaran

Committed to yachting and its people.

Seven Seas was born from a vision: to create an organization that would provide yachting enthusiasts with quality education and the essential skills to excel in their passion, taking on new challenges and meeting the high standards that make yachting in Greece a leading and vibrant part of the national tourism industry.

Alongside my career as a captain on superyachts, I began training future recreational boat skippers under the framework of the world’s most recognized training and certification organization, the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), remaining in the field of education for over 20 years.

Growing and evolving through this vision since its official establishment in 2013, Seven Seas has been recognized as one of the main RYA Training Centres for yachting enthusiasts in the Athens region and nationwide.

The trust that hundreds of our students show us each year lies in a key distinction: our commitment to go beyond mere certification, maintaining a steadfast focus on meaningful education and our genuine interest in the success of every individual who comes to our classrooms and boats, whether they are newcomers to the field or already established and experienced.

Despite the times of automation and massification in the field of education, Seven Seas and our entire team remain steadfastly focused on the values and vision with which we started: to shape a new, dynamic generation of enthusiasts who will bring fresh energy, new perspectives, and a strong impact to modern yachting in our country and beyond.
