“Resalto” is a traditional boat of “varkala” type. Since 1994, the EU in its effort to mitigate the overfishing of the Mediterranean, has enacted a law to destroy traditional fishing vessels. Since then, thousands of boats have been ignominiously cut down. The shipbuilding peculiarity with which they have been built has been shaped through centuries of observation and evolution in modern wooden shipbuilding. Very few shipwrights are now alive and know how to build such a hull, making this a dying science. Using the boats for recreation is a wonderful way to preserve their memory. “Resalto” is therefore a floating museum.
See its beautifully curved lines and feel its light bounce on the waves. This feeling is not accidental, it managed to develop after centuries of harmonizing with the Aegean environment.
Our boat is located at the port of Porto Rafti, specifically at Agios Nikolaos. You can see our exact location from where the cruise starts on the map.
Want to check the weather during your cruise? Accurate predictions are only available a few days in advance. We have created a guide that explains your experience in an easy and understandable way.
Our story
The love for the sea led Dimitris to follow the naval profession and to be the holder of a 2nd Class Master’s Diploma in the Merchant Navy. He has many years of experience as a Chief Petty Officer and Officer of the Watch on ocean-going LPG vessels specializing in marine communications, ship planning and maintenance of safety equipment.
At the same time, as a holder of a sailing diploma, he practices his hobby in the East Attica area with his personal boat. His experience and countless hours of continuing education on various nautical topics, his certification as a lifeguard and his passion for the sea make him the most suitable to offer an enjoyable and above all safe cruise!

Yes, there are two large bimini tops that provide shade over a large part of the boat. At the same time, there are places under the sun for those who want to sunbathe.
We recommend booking at least 1-2 days in advance to guarantee your place. However, if you are interested in booking during the weekend and in high season we suggest you book at least 4-5 days in advance as these days are more in demand.
Yes, of course! We have welcomed children aged 3 years old and younger who could participate normally in the cruise program and swim. Young children must wear a life jacket which is provided by us but you can bring your own swimming equipment as well.
During all 4 swim stops we drop anchor in the sea close to land. You can enter the sea either from our vertical ladder or by diving directly from the boat. The locations where we drop anchor are at least 2 meters deep.
Of course! We have designed our own ramp (walkway) specifically to allow wheelchairs to pass through. The width is 60 cm and on our boat we have a wheelchair which is suitable for it.
Our boat has a maximum capacity of 35 people (33 passengers and 2 staff members).
Weather is hard to predict if you have booked a cruise 5+ days in advance. As we get closer to the date, the forecasts become more accurate and we get a better picture of the wind intensity and if there is a possibility of a cruise cancellation. We always wish for good seas but in case of a cruise cancellation we get in touch with you as soon as possible. You can check the current weather forecast here
We have uploaded all the information about private cruises here.
