The ALKION ll was founded by CAPTAIN MIKE in early 1993, he was a keen fisherman from the age of 4, going out on his family’s fishing boat with his father it made the sea his passion and from a young age, he was handling boats and throwing nets. Until today CAPTAIN MIKE still goes out on his fishing boat catching fresh fish and supplying the local restaurants. He has been the Alkion ll captain for nearly 25 years now, a man with a vast and great experience of the sea.
That’s why he decided to name the boat”Alkion” which in mythology is derived from the word Alkionides, these are the halcyon days, the calm bright days in the midst of winter that the gods gave to the kingfishers to enable them to hatch their eggs. The mythical bird is usually identified with the kingfisher, which is said to have the power of charming the waves and winds into calmness.
