Adamas V and Wally B yachts in Antiparos

The 65m superyacht Adamas V and 33m sailing yacht Wally B were spotted anchored in Antiparos, Greece.

Like all Greeks, Nikolas Pateras has an inherent love for the sea, but his passion for seafaring goes beyond that of even his most water loving countrymen. Born into a seventh generation shipping family, Nikolas has been raised on the water, surrounded by yachts and vessels of all sizes. At the age of only 33 he acquired his first yacht, the 31.5-metre classic <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dama di Cuori31.5m (103'4&quot;)Benetti SpA1970">Moongoddess</a>, which sparked a lifetime's journey of yacht ownership that has seen him own eight yachts over the past twenty seven years. Today Nikolas is the proud owner of both the 65.25-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adamas V65.25m (214'1&quot;)Cantieri Navali Nicolini Srl1987">Adamas V</a> and the renowned <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> built sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/539" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally B32.72m (107'4&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd1998">Wally B</a>. This January Francesca Webster sat down with Nikolas to hear the story of his life aboard boats.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/309866/image/large-0aadf7bb4245a0a318e7159a4533b68d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/309866">Originating from the tiny island of Oinousses, Nikolas’ family earned their living in the 1700s by transporting goods from the Turkish coast to the island of Chios. By the late 1800s, the familial business had grown from small wooden vessels to clipper ships and by 1902 they purchased the first steamship.A legacy of perseverance and determination, the family business has been through good years and tough times, losing all their ships in both World Wars. Nikolas first joined the company Pateras Brother Ltd, in 1986 at the age of 23, and since joining has managed 150 vessels. In 2015 he moved into the container ship market with Contships Management Inc. While cargo ships are his business, it is in yachts that Nikolas and his family get the most pleasure. “My father and uncle had boats from the early 1970s, and my uncle built a trawler with accommodation in the bow. I used to spend all my time onboard, working as crew at the age of 14-15 during the summer holidays learning the ropes. It became my dream to buy my own when I was grown up.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/65838/image/large-cb8c108da5697c524fe824280859432c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/65838">“When I saw <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/757" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dama di Cuori31.5m (103'4&quot;)Benetti SpA1970">Moongoddess</a> in Monte Carlo I fell in love. I’d always wanted a canoe stern yacht and she was built like a pocket size mega yacht. White hull and traditional lines. The lady I acquired her from even gave me the Hermes cigar humidor that was originally onboard, which I still have to this day. ”She was the first Adamas, the Greek word for Diamond”.

He said that it was never going to happen, and that they had two American clients offering $14. But not long after I got a call back because the Americans would only take the yacht if she was delivered to the Med, and the owner was refusing to send the yacht through the Suez Canal, so whoever took delivery would have to do so in Abu Dhabi. I sent a few guys down there, and they looked her over, said she was in great condition so we put the offer back on the table.

Ideally located on the Spanish mainland directly opposite the Balearic islands, Port Denia is both a high quality, professional superyacht shipyard and a fully equipped superyacht marina for vessels of up to 130 metres.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150419/image/large-b393600ac45caf0e5858c1393006f00e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150419">Port Denia itself is located in the city of Denia in Alicante, Spain. Its strategic location is conveniently only 45 miles from the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, and en route from the Caribbean to the Costa Azul and Palma Mallorca. The convenience of this location makes Port Denia a fantastic base for both owners and crew alike. One of the many advantages of having the marina and shipyard so close is that when a yacht stays in Denia, owners have a shipyard, practically within a stones throw away, at their disposal.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150420/image/large-84b6b76f9333935f416ca491cc8a0555.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150420">Among the many facilities available at Port Denia are electricity up to 400 amps and fresh water; blackwater pump; diesel dock and Bunkering; 24-hr dock assistance; free RIB assistance and manoeuvring support; docking assistance; free parking beside marina; chandlery ordering and delivery; engineering and maintenance services. MTU and CAT; immigration assistance; concierge services; florist delivery services and a 27.000 m2 Refit Shipyard 1.200 Tonnes or 75m dry dock capacity - to name but a few.The shipyard facilities are equally impressive, with 2 slipways which can haul out up to 1200 tonnes, a 150 tonne travel lift, 21,000 m2 dry working area, 2000 m2 specialised warehouse space and a docking area for yachts up to 80 metres in length. In terms of refit services offered by the shipyard, services include painting projects; marine engineering; electrics and electronics; carpentry; interior design/ refits; rigging projects and metalwork.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150421/image/large-cf361f9ee6ddd864834861474af3906e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150421">Recent refit projects undertaken at the shipyard include the 59m Lürssen superyacht Vive La Vie, which included the Lloyds 5 year survey, painting works and full revision of electronics amongst other things.

Most recently, the shipyard has completed the paint refit of the 36m Palmer Johnson 120 Ascari as well as 4 engine MTU 4000 W6 and 2 engine MTU 396 W6 projects.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150422/image/large-f7d200a0904e4adb78e1b45e4a2473e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150422">Representatives of Port Denia state, "Our facilities are designed to cater to all client requirements during the refit or maintenance of your vessel.
