Yannis Xanthakis

CO-CAPTAIN / UNDERWATER MISSIONS MANAGER – SYROS

Till the age of 5, he was sleeping on an inflatable boat in his bedroom, and everyone understood the lifechanging relationship he would later have with the sea. The liquid element fascinates him throughout the course of his life and in combination with his fighting spirit, John is an integral part of our team. He is also the co-captain on the All For Blue boat and participates in all of our underwater missions as he holds a free diving license.

His contact with the sea is daily. Swimming is one of his favorite hobbies and the collection of trash he finds on the seabed and beaches was the driving force for his decision to integrate with All For Blue. He is an underwater shooting champion – a member of the National Team, and he used to be an athlete of water polo and technical swimming. He is a member of the Syros Inflatables Group and a friend of the Aegean Group. He has been involved in canoeing and kayaking in the local race in Syros, as well as in the karate technique.
