WHO WE ARE

Welcome to the world of
Aegeas Yachting

Imagine a world of blue, where crystal-clear waters embrace a thousand islands, each rich in history and unique in beauty. My name is Stathis Sofitsis, and I take pride in owning six well-maintained sailing yachts. I personally oversee their care, ensuring they remain in top condition. This hands-on approach allows me to offer them for charter at highly competitive prices.

In addition to my own fleet, I also manage a selection of other charter yachts across Greece. Our goal is simple: to provide you, your family, friends, or colleagues with an unforgettable sailing experience.

From our base in Kavala, we offer personalized services to make your trip stress-free and complete. Depending on your needs, we can arrange:

  • Seamless transportation from Thessaloniki or Kavala airports directly to our yachts
  • Provisioning services, including food and beverages tailored to your preferences
  • 24/7 support, ensuring peace of mind throughout your journey
  • Professional skippers, if required, to enhance your sailing experience

Our yachts are primarily based in Kavala, but they can also be chartered from Halkidiki, Skiathos (Sporades), Volos, Athens, or Lefkas upon agreement. With their permanent anchorage in Kavala, our fleet is conveniently located near two airports, offering easy access with multiple charter flights.

We are here to turn your sailing dreams into reality. Let’s set sail together!

THE FOUNDERS

Stathis Sofitsis

Founder of Aegeas Yachting / RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Sail Instructor

I have been sailing for 40 years, with the last 25 years spent professionally. As a certified Yachtmaster Offshore Sail Instructor, I hold a diploma issued by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA), qualifying me to captain sailing boats weighing up to 200 tons.

Each year, I cover more than 5,000 nautical miles, whether as a charter skipper, racing competitor, or sailing instructor. My experience extends across the Mediterranean and Great Britain, where I have sailed at all levels, adapting to diverse conditions.

One of my most significant sailing experiences took place in 2002, when I crossed the Atlantic aboard Aegeas, a Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40. This journey was part of the ARC transatlantic race, which begins in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, and ends 3,000 miles away in St. Lucia, Antilles, near the Venezuelan coast.

With every voyage, I refine my skills, gain new insights, and share my passion for sailing with others.

Dimitris Sofitsis

RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Sail Instructor

I started racing dinghies at the age of seven and have earned several national-level distinctions. My passion for sailing led me to pursue a degree from the Sailing Department of the School of Physical Education and Sport Science.

After graduating, I began working as a professional skipper and sailing instructor, training students for both RYA and National Level certificates. In 2015, I achieved the RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualification, further solidifying my expertise. Three years later, I participated in the ARC transatlantic race, gaining valuable offshore racing experience.

Continuing to expand my knowledge and skills, I earned the RYA Yachtmaster Instructor qualification in 2021. With years of hands-on experience in racing, chartering, and instruction, I am committed to sharing my passion for sailing with others.
