Where Technical Expertise Meets Yacht Integrity
My background as a Naval Architect began in design offices, building a strong technical foundation that evolved into a career focused on yachts. From early involvement in repairs, I progressed to leading complex refits, new builds, and high-value project management.
I have worked with leading shipyards, including Damen Shipyards, where I headed the yacht department and delivered demanding projects to exacting standards.
Today, I operate independently, providing yacht surveys, technical consultancy, and coating inspection services. My work is supported by full professional indemnity cover and trusted by yacht owners, managers, and shipyards across Greece and internationally.
With a hands-on, methodical approach, I oversee projects from initial assessment through to completion—ensuring clarity, control, and technical accuracy at every stage. I am available worldwide, supporting clients wherever their vessels operate.
My focus is simple: protect structural integrity, preserve value, and deliver results that stand up to scrutiny.
