Nereids Yachts

According to Mythology, the Nereids were the 50 daughters of Nereus the “old man of the sea”, and of the Oceanid, Doris. The Nereids lived in the depths of the sea in a silver cave, close to their father.

They sang, danced and played to music together with Triton and sailed on the waves riding dolphins, seahorses and other legendary sea creatures. They rested on the shores and dried their hair in the sunlight or the moonlight.

The daughters of Nereus were so famous for their beauty, that once Cassiopeia boasted of being more beautiful than they were. Poseidon would not put up with such and insult and decided to punish
Cassiopeia by sending her a sea-monster to devour her daughter, Andromeda.

These beautiful women would help whoever needed their aid, gods, heroes or even mortals. They escorted Europe, who travelled on the sea towards Crete, when she was chased by Zeus. They formed a protective ring around the Argo, Jason’s ship, when it was passing through the dangerous passage of the Wandering Rocks. The Argonauts were pleased to see them around their ship, swimming and making noises like dolphins.

The Nereids were always friendly and helpful towards sailors fighting perilous storms. They tried to slow the winds and the tempests down and did everything possible to make the sailors’ journey fast and easy.
