your captain: yiannis

Born and raised in the fishing village of Kamini on the island of Hydra, Yiannis started fishing when he was just 10 years old, tagging along his grandfather Captain Loukas. 

The sea has been his natural habitat from a young age and aboard his caique is where he feels most comfortable in. 

He fell in love with fishing and the life of the fisherman which is hard but full of unique moments in contact with nature’s elements. 

Now, with more than 25 years of experience as a professional fisherman, Yiannis is a true expert on the seas and fish around Hydra and beyond and he loves to share his stories.

“You can learn more about life and yourself by spending a day on a caique than years of reading books”
