Our name

In ancient Athens, citizens living close to the sea, as fishermen, sailors or ship builders were called “Parali”. So “Paralos” means the man who lives and also his job is related to the sea. “Parali” were in charge of maintaining “Paralos” one of the two warships used by the city of Athens only on state missions or for conveyance of high ranking Athenian statesmen.

The boat was of the trireme type, with 170 oars.  The boat was kept mostly out of the water, in order to be dry. It is estimated that a trireme could maintain a cruising speed of 5-7 knots and reach up to 12-13 knots during battles. Paralos were much faster than the average trireme! Inspired by this boat the Parali whose seamanship made Athens the strongest navy force at the time, we carry our name with great respect and pride!
