In 1987, with the help of luck, his ambitions and his savings he bought a small boat, by which he was carrying tourists to different beaches for swimming. From that moment he established his first office in Piraeus, the ferry company Cavo Grosso MC and entered actively and dynamically in the shipping business. In 1989, he bought a second ship and founded the second shipping company, Cavo Tainaron MC, developing into the tourism department as well. In 1991,he chartered his ships to the Ionian Sea and established his first travel agency, which was based in Zakynthos.
By 1993, with a fast rise, he had already established a total of 12 branches in various tourist resorts of Zakynthos. In 2001, in an effort to meet the needs of his tourism activities, he extended his company, by founding the Maritime-Touristic Ltd. with the acquisition of four coaches.
In 2002, he built the ship “Dolphin”, which replaced the previous, offering daily cruises to Zante and transporting approximately a total of 50,000 passengers during the summer months.
In 2011, the vision becomes reality, as P.Voutyrakou business group acquires a different and unique new ship with the name “Pirate” Menia – Maria 1.
