Description of Nicholas's sailboat
Sailboat Veleiro Mani Mani: Modelo Esprit 37 Pés 11.3m
How about embarking on a unique journey aboard our special sailboat? This beautiful 37-foot wooden sailboat has an incredible history—it was built in Cabo Frio/RJ by my father, Leonidas Zerboulis, also known as "Grego," in the 1980s. Since then, it has sailed the seas, exploring exotic destinations, including Greece, my father's homeland, and participating in various regattas around the world! Now, the helm is in my hands, and I am eager to share this experience with you. Picture yourself relaxing in a comfortable environment, with four beds—one in the forward cabin and three singles in strategic spots around the boat. Equipped with a bathroom, refrigerator, stove, solar power, and a central dining table, this sailboat offers the perfect balance between comfort and adventure. With a classic and customized design, our sailboat exudes coziness and charm. And the best part, we are ready to take you to explore the wonderful islands and beaches around Rio de Janeiro. So, how about joining us for an unforgettable experience? We are excited to welcome you aboard and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Nicholas and Andréia were amazing! They were very warm and welcoming and communication was smooth throughout. We had to reschedule the day due to strong winds and there were no problems with that. They took us to a nice island for some swimming and diving and provided the necessary equipment for it as well. They also provided anti-vomiting medicine since the waves were a bit strong, and while the waves on the way back were very strong, it was still a very fun experience and Nicholas sailed professionally!

Olá, eu sou Nicholas Zerboulis, e aos 26 anos, tenho o prazer de compartilhar um pouco da história do Mani Mani, que em grego significa "Ligeirinho". Este veleiro foi construído pelo meu pai, Leônidas Zerboulis, ao longo de nove anos, finalizado em outubro de 1987, todo em madeira laminada. Meu pai, nascido na Grécia e emigrado para o Brasil ainda na infância em meados dos anos 1950, sempre teve uma paixão por barcos, o que o levou a trabalhar com o mar por boa parte da vida, culminando na construção do Mani Mani. Após seu falecimento em 2014, herdei não apenas a embarcação, mas também sua inspiração e amor pelo mar. Cresci parte da minha infância a bordo do Mani Mani, imerso no meio marítimo. Desde pequeno, participei e continuo participando de diversas regatas, além de desfrutar da liberdade que velejar proporciona. Atualmente, divido meu tempo entre o Mani Mani, onde moro com minha namorada, Andréia, e minha filha, Olívia. Além de ser nossa casa em parte do ano, também é nosso meio de trabalho, realizando passeios pelo Rio de Janeiro, onde estamos ancorados em Niterói, mais especificamente no Clube Naval Charitas. Estamos ansiosos para compartilhar essa experiência única com vocês!
