Samsara's History
Samsara was built in 1978 by Mr Kontogouris in his shipward in Thessaloniki. In 2019 we returned to him to completely rebuild Samsara and she was completed one year later. The soul of Samsara remains intact with her Iroko wood hull completely preserved and refreshed. Mahogany and pinewood touches blend the beauty of tradition with the comfort of modern luxury. 20 years ago, over 14,000 of these wooden boats were in operation in Greece. Now only a few hundred remain with only a handful restored by master craftsmen like him.

No boat is complete without its deck but Samsara’s is something special. With a prow-to stern lounge area, you can soak up the sun or take a break under our pop-up canopy which can be easily assembled to shelter you from the midday sun. When it’s time for lunch, we can comfortably seat 20 people at one of three tables. Afterwards, drift away with the sway of the tide in our on deck hammock.
