Santorini Boatmen & Mooring Services J.V is a part of a group of family maritime companies which operates in the greater archipelago of Santorini.

Tracing our beginnings to the end of the Word War II, Lefteris Dakoutros (Megas) with a small tender boat cooperative transfers passengers and staff from visiting ships to the island of Santorini.

In 1981 Dakoutros Bros J.V. established and today owns a fleet of 5 traditional wooden tourist boats plus the Calypso glass bottom boat.

A Modest Start

In 2013, Dakoutros brothers, sons of Lefteris (Megas), began building a fleet of more than 10 passenger vessels aiming on cruise ships maritime services.

In this way maybe, a secret dream of the brothers to continue the father’s first job, came true. Santorini Boatmen & Mooring Services J.V. – ‘’SBMS’’ established!

Nowadays ‘’SBMS’’ owns a fleet of 10 modern vessels including the coastal vessel ‘’Mega Star’’ which serves the near islands and with its big capacity the cruise ships disembarkation in the area of Santorini.

Services

Cruise Ship Services

Our island Santorini is of a rare beauty and of an unusual landscape. These attribute to this island its uniqueness and make it one of the most significant tourist destinations worldwide. Nevertheless it lacks a large and safe harbor, in which a big volume of cruise vessels could be accommodated.

Therefore we have as our main activity the transportation of the passengers from the cruise-vessels to the old port of Santorini and their returning to them, as well as the transportation of these passengers to the commercial port of Santorini, which is the start point of the excursions on the island.

Vessels Chartering

Due to the fact that there are only few coastal connections between the islands of our region, our company often undertakes the transportation of passengers to the neighboring islands, such as Sikinos, Folegandros and Anafi.
