ONEIDA 2

Captain: Dimitris Bokolas (Greek)

“Sea is my life” is Dimitris’s life quote. Since he was a child he remembers himself in a boat. He is an experienced sailor and captain of power and sailing boats. The first boat he was captain in, was his family’s 55ft. traditional Greek Kaiki. Since then he had the opportunity to sail around Greek waters with different kind of boats. During all these years he came across of all kind of weather and sea conditions which made him familiar with the difficult Greek seas. His natural capability of communicate with people and the fact that he can remain calm in any unpredictable situation, creates for his guests and fellow crew members a feeling of comfort, relaxation and above all safeness during the travel. Captain Dimitris is onboard ONEIDA 2 since day one!

Chef: Markos Gkolemis (Greek)

For me, cooking is not simply a profession, but a way of life—one I have devoted myself to since the age of 19.
Over the years, I have developed strong expertise in Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, alongside a deep passion for traditional Greek gastronomy, which reflects my roots and upbringing.
My culinary philosophy is centered on the freshness and quality of ingredients, the balance of flavors, and the creation of memorable dining experiences that make every guest feel welcome and at ease.
I take great pride in caring for others, ensuring that each moment at the table is both enjoyable and meaningful.
The sea and nature play an essential role in my life, providing inspiration, clarity, and a sense of balance that naturally influence my work.
In my free time, I enjoy staying active through workouts, walks, and five-a-side football, as well as spending quality time with friends—valuing genuine connections and shared experiences above all.

Deckhand/Steward: Nikolas Gardelis (Greek)

Hello everyone, I’m Nickolas, your steward on board Oneida 2.
For me, the sea is not just a destination—it’s a way of life. I approach my role with the discipline of a sailor and the sensitivity of a poet, ensuring that every detail on board flows seamlessly, while never losing sight of the beauty that surrounds us.
When I’m not at sea, I enjoy exploring the world on two wheels, writing poetry, and playing music.
I value meaningful conversations—whether about hidden coastal gems or the rhythm of a song—and I believe these shared moments are what make every journey truly special.
My goal is to turn your time on board into more than just a trip, creating an experience filled with comfort, elegance, and unforgettable memories.
I look forward to sailing with you.
