"First of all, I truly feel the need to say a huge thank you for all the material you have sent me and for answering all my questions, I really appreciate it. Additionally, I would like to express my sincere congratulations for the quality and the way the seminar was conducted. I truly gained a lot from it, and if given the opportunity, I would do it again!"
July 2021, Webinar Modern Marine Meteorology, V.L. Cadet Captain
"Following the lecture we attended regarding BVS, I would like to thank you for the knowledge, experience, and expertise you generously shared with us. I was a student at AEN Aspropyrgos, a student of Mrs. Vioni Penelope, who taught me many things and had also spoken highly of you. Today, I understood the reasons in practice. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May you always be well, and if I need anything on the ship, I will take the courage to contact you."
May 2022, Seminar on the Bon Voyage System program, P.L. Captain
"I wanted to personally thank you for the time you dedicated to conducting these hours. I found everything you told us extremely interesting and truly useful, while I understand the difficulty of simplifying an entire scientific field without getting into excessive details that confuse. I also recognize that the material you provided us was by far more comprehensive and substantial than any other source where we could have searched for similar information, and the instructions you gave us were precise, detailed, and specific. I believe you have done an amazing job, although the result could not have been otherwise, as it is clear how much you love what you do. I feel grateful and lucky to have made this choice, as you have offered me an asset that will have significant weight on my resume, a skill that will play a practical role in my professional career."
December 2022, Webinar Meteorology for the Greek Seas, Ioanna S. Skipper, Heraklion Crete
"The seminar was very good and useful for people in our profession, especially for someone like me, going to be a captain for the first time. Last winter, we encountered many of the things you mentioned (which I did not know) in the North Pacific, where 12 serious accidents involving container ships occurred within a 3-month period. The captain I had, fortunately, knew a lot, even though it was also his first time as captain (he had attended your seminar), and we avoided many bad situations, despite the fact that he had to frequently clash with charterers, the company that 'advised' us on the weather, and the company itself."
July 2021, Webinar Modern Marine Meteorology, G.A. Captain on a Container Ship
“"Thank you very much for everything you taught me. Your knowledge was invaluable, and you have an excellent way of conveying it. You helped me a lot since meteorology was a subject I didn’t understand during both semesters at school. Now, it seems more approachable and understandable."“
September 2021, Webinar Modern Marine Meteorology, A.M. Cadet Captain AEN Macedonia
"The seminar was excellent, as were the notes. Also, the videos are essential because we forget many things and don't have time to take notes during the presentation. I think we will meet again in a future seminar."
January 2023, Meteorology Seminar for the Greek Seas, A.A. Skipper & Mountain Guide, Attica
"I would like to thank you for this seminar and especially for your immediacy, communicative skills, and your sincere, explanatory, and friendly attitude. I believe that the seminar was exactly what corresponded to my needs. With its theoretical explanations but with emphasis on practice. I am particularly satisfied. I would also like to thank you for the completeness of the materials you provide, which obviously goes far beyond the typical obligations of a relatively short seminar."
February 2024, Meteorology Seminar for the Greek Seas, D. Kosmetatos, Retired Mechanical Engineer, Attica
"Modern Marine Meteorology Webinar is an excellent course, very well structured and targeted. A course that all Masters, Deck Officers & Cadets, and Fleet Operators should attend. It is beneficial for safe voyage planning and execution. Detailed and handy notes were provided, too. I want to congratulate and thank Mr. N. Mazarakis for his professionalism. An exceptional scientist."
September 2024, Webinar Modern Marine Meteorology, Capt. Panagiotis Athanasiou, Master Mariner
"Modern Marine Meteorology Webinar is very important and crucial for Masters and for Navigators. Proper and correct reading of meteorological charts is important even at present time with a lot of sources of getting weather forecasts. Even for me, with so many years of experience, I gained some valuable information."
September 2024, Webinar Modern Marine Meteorology, Kostiantyn Gordiienko, Master Mariner
"The seminar was highly informative, providing us with valuable knowledge that will be instrumental in enhancing our work on the ship."
December 2024, Webinar Modern Marine Meteorology, Capt. Apostolis Spiliopoulos, Master Mariner
"A complete meteorology seminar that was very useful, due to my involvement in outdoor activities, which helped me understand how natural phenomena are created and gave me the opportunity to make weather forecasts myself. The notes we received and the video recording of all the lessons are very important, because I can refer to the educational material at any time. Also, the high level of the classmates made the lessons enjoyable and even more interesting. Many thanks to Mr. Mazarakis for the time he dedicated to imparting his knowledge to us."
May 2025, Meteorology for All, Antonis Ampelikiotis, Skipper and Mountain Guide, Alimos
"I entered the seminar without any knowledge of meteorology. As my father knew how to predict the weather empirically, I decided to watch it more to have an additional connection with him. I learned so much about the earth and weather phenomena! Much more than I imagined. Each section had a special interest and our teacher, the dear Nikos Mazarakis, did not let anything pass if it was not completely understood. Thank you very much!"
May 2025, Meteorology for All, Anna Palouki, Kavala
"A wonderful journey of knowledge and understanding of the face of the sky that surrounds us every moment!"
May 2025, Meteorology for All, Mary Giannetsou, Mechanical Engineer, Cholargos
"Very interesting seminar on Meteorology. Comprehensive, analytical but not tiring and at the same time enjoyable. Excellent notes and video lessons. I highly recommend it."
May 2025, Meteorology for All, Nikos Kounelis, Civil Engineer, Maroussi
"This seminar is an aid to the demands of the times and helps explain phenomena that we are still struggling to predict scientifically. Technical training and continuous renewal of knowledge is extremely important for any professional orientation and is unconditionally achieved through similar actions. An important element is also the contact with scientists in the field who, through their knowledge and experience, give them the impetus for further study and understanding of the world that surrounds us. Finally, I greet with special appreciation the effort and contribution of the speaker to marine meteorology as he has been constantly present in developments."
May 2025, Meteorology for All, Komboyorgas Ioannis, Captain of the Greek Navy, Acharnes
Four years have passed since the beginning of our educational journey and the creation of the MeteoMarine web portal. A journey of knowledge and creation that was embraced by all our sailors as well as ordinary people who love the sea and weather phenomena. Starting with a seminar for professional sailors and another for the Greek Seas, today we have now created a complete series of five different seminars, aimed at professional sailors and three seminars aimed at individuals.
