Level III Bareboat Charter Master Rank Qualified Sailing Instructor / Assessor

Sailing and teaching are two passions that naturally come together for me. I'm a driven person who enjoys helping others grow in confidence and develop new skills through practical experience. In my professional career, I've spent years training and onboarding teams across different countries, including helping establish and train teams abroad from the ground up. That experience taught me that people learn best by doing, not just by listening. I bring the same approach to sailing: patient instruction, hands-on practice, and a focus on building confidence on the water. Whether I'm leading a crew, coaching new sailors, or helping someone master a skill for the first time, I take pride in creating a positive learning environment where people feel supported, challenged, and capable of achieving more than they thought possible.

Practical Competence of Skipper Large Sailboat Rank
Kyriakos is a dynamic and professional sailing instructor; he adapts his teaching style to each student, listens attentively, and is always eager to share his knowledge and experience of sailing, as well as to provide intensive sailing practice and take the time to diligently repeat each maneuver until the student has mastered it perfectly. I highly recommend him and thank him for this week of constructive and thoroughly enjoyable learning.
