Kyriakos Papapanteli

Instructor in Limassol, Limassol, Cyprus

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.

Other Credentials

I have been training with SailCyprus and NauticEd since I began sailing and am working towards instructor status. I have gained valuable experience assisting and observing Chris Curry during training sessions, helping me develop an understanding of student needs and effective coaching techniques. Professionally, I work as a trainer and onboarding coach, bringing strong teaching and communication skills that transfer well to sailing instruction.
