Authentic Greek Boats for Private & Semi-Private Boat Tours
Ilias Pantasoulas, founder of Pantasoulas Daily Cruises, always had an intimate relationship with the sea as he was raised in a fishing family (fourth generation of fishermen). He spent his childhood in his father's fishing boat, getting to know the sea like the palm of his hand. After graduating as an Electronic engineer, he decided to return back to Paros and his beloved sea, and start his own business.
Back in 2017, guided by passion and respect for tradition, he bought an old fishing boat and with a lot of work by himself, family and friends - he turned it into a brand new fully-equipped traditional cruise boat. Today, Ilias and his sister Dimitra personally welcome guests on board, offering authentic Greek hospitality and a true family experience in Paros.
Traditional Wooden Boats
Experience the charm of traditional Greek wooden boats with Pantasoulas Daily Cruises in Paros.
- ILIAS PANTASOULAS is a traditional Greek wooden boat, known as "trechandiri",- built in 1983 on Spetses island by Ntinos Korakis - one of the most famous and awarded greek shipbuilders of this type of boat. This boat was originally used as a fishing boat by Ilias' father as a fishing vessel to supply the local market of Paros with fresh fish.
Today, the boat has been carefully preserved and adapted to offer authentic boat cruises in Paros, combining traditional craftsmanship with comfort and safety. The vessel is also available for private fishing tours in Paros, offering guests a truly local experience.
- ILIAS PANTASOULAS II is its twin, also a traditional "trechandiri''- constructed in 1973 on Spetses island by the same master builder, Ntinos Korakis. This vessel used as a professional fishing boat until its owners retired. The boat remained unused until 2017, when Ilias bought it and fully renovated it into a beautiful traditional cruise boat in Paros.
Both boats are named in honor of Ilias' beloved grandfather, preserving the family legacy and their deep connection to the Aegean Sea. Today, they proudly host private and semi-private boat tours in Paros, offering guests an authentic Greek island cruising experience.
