VALIUM52 Yacht Charter

Captain: Grigoris Stronis

Captain - Grigoris Stronis

Grigoris was born in 1997 in Athens and moved straight away in Santorini where his passion for the sea grew within him. He found himself closer to the sea day by day, enjoying watersports and swimming. His family has a background of hospitality as both his parents have worked as tour operators all over Greece. From the age of 18 onwards, when he attained his National Offshore Sailing Diploma, he has covered more and more miles in daily and weekly cruises in Greece as well as many yacht transfers in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
He has also worked as a base technician, covering up the winter maintenance of an abundance of yachts.

Grigoris is a very friendly, professional captain that will make sure the guests of Valium 52 feel like their home on board.


Chef - Nina Dania
Nina was born in 1998, in Patras, Greece. She grew up in a suburb, by the sea, and she has been by the sea since. At the
age of seven, she started taking sailing courses, and soon enough, sailing had won her heart. After ten years of racing sailing, the
time came to put the sea aside for a while, and study to enter university.
In 2017, she entered the “Special Needs Education” in the Department of Educational and Social Policy, in Pa.Mak. University,
Greece, but not much time passed, and the sea started calling her back.
When she realized that living on the sea is possible, she decided to pause her studies and return to her natural environment,
and since then, she has been spending most of her time on boats.
Working as a hostess on sailing yachts is something that came natural. Her passion for cooking, but also for hosting people,
combined with her nautical knowledge gave her the ability to evolve quickly in the profession. By now, having already four years of
experience, many nautical miles, both inshore and offshore, and with a cooking passion that constantly grows, she knows where her
place- to be is, and she is giving the best of herself in all aspects of her job and life onboard.
