History

Schooner ‘EROS’ is a beautiful classic yacht built in England in 1939 for the daughter and son-in-law of a British Lord. She was very soon after commandeered by the Royal Navy to participate in the famous evacuation at Dunkirk.

After the war she became the private yacht of the first man internationally known as a billionaire, Stavros Niarchos, and became well known in the Mediterranean yachting community. Her present owners acquired her in 1992 and have spared no expense on her museum quality restoration.
