Captain Vangelis – Special Cruises | Kefalonia’s Most Authentic Sea Experience!
At Captain Vangelis – Special Cruises, we don’t just offer boat trips. We offer a story, a legacy, and a true passion for the sea that spans over 50 years of experience in maritime life and cruising.
Founded by Captain Vangelis Spathis, born in the coastal village of Spathi, Kefalonia, the company grew from a lifelong romance with the sea into a family-run operation offering unforgettable daily yacht cruises from Skala. After earning his Master’s License in 1984 and sailing the world, Captain Vangelis returned to his roots and started cruises from Skala in 1987, bringing international experience to local waters.
