Bootverhuur in Kefalonia · Sessa Marine — Oyster 35 (2004)

I was born and raised in Kefalonia. I’m the oldest son of the family. My father loved outdoor activities. That pushed me to move on the island. He conveyed this love to both his children and spend a lot of time with us, swimming sailing, water skiing, scuba diving, windsurfing and even building and flying RC models. My childhood love for the sea led me to marine biology and the scientific exploration of our marine ecosystems and then to my job today as a farmer of the sea. Right now I am the Production Manager of Kefalonia Fisheries, a company that produces Sea Bass and Sea Bream in the waters of Kefalonia. I studied Marine Biology at the University of Genova in Italy and then in 1982 I obtained my first graduate degree in Oceanography from the University of Jussieu in Paris and in 1983 I completed my second Master’s degree in Marine Aquaculture from the University of Caen in Normandy. My vision was to buy my own boat and explore the beauties of my island and the surrounding ones. The last 10 years my dream is a reality and I’m the owner of a fully equipped motor yacht and my wish is to share this amazing experience with people who share the same dream but don’t have the means to enjoy it. I feel fortunate to have been able to come back to my home island of Kefalonia and go to work, every day, on the ocean. I like very much being outdoors so I dived a lot, professionally sometimes, I love water and snow ski and I am a keen swimmer. As a hang glider pilot I became member of the Greek national team and flew in competitions both in Greece and in Europe. My native language is Greek but I speak fluently English, Italian and French so the communication with you won’t pose any difficulties.
