Free travel, a need that required a prompt solution.

The idea sprang from the need to offer solutions to the residents of insular regions, who for years were treated as second class citizens by the state.

Poor communications with the mainland, deficiencies in the health system, expensive tickets, difficult or inadequate connection among islands with sparse shipping routes and, finally, costly products.

Destruction of cultural heritage and history.

Simultaneously, the high concentration of cruise ships to Greek islands owing to increasing tourism during summer, and their emitting millions of air pollutant microparticles (medically proved to cause side-effects for the residents), the destruction of traditional wooden vessels, the loss of employment, the decline of age-long knowledge and tradition, the need for new professionals and technology businesses, resulted in our sense of responsibility to produce an overall solution to all the above problems, without intending to interfere whatsoever with classic and existing practices of vessels with internal combustion engines.

Development of new technology and businesses, another need that had to be met.

We felt certain that the overall solution lied in “grafting” the young generations with the seed of knowledge so that, while growing up, they would find means and ways to follow those professions that they would find appealing. And, in the end, they would develop new, innovative technological businesses on their own islands, or they would decide to follow professions related to ship repair or shipbuilding and the sea in general, so as to staff, eventually, Greek shipbuilding companies with local members and employees.

We aim at beginning, all as one, to turn a new page in our nation’s nautical history.
