"If its not safe & fun... Don't sail it that way!"
"Nick is a highly competent , conscientious and skilled yacht Captain in addition to being a pleasure to have in ones employ. First and foremost, Nick is a highly capable ships Master and whether racing in regattas or cruising in remote areas of the world with our young family, we never felt anything but 100% safe and secure. In addition, Nick is an extremely good organizer, manager of crew and skilled at virtually every position thinkable on a vessel.

In todays demanding environment of ever increasing regulations and constant demands from up and coming crew members, it is unusual to find a highly experienced Captain who maintains a continued and true passion for yachting itself. Nick is that man and he makes it fun and interesting to be aboard - and isn't that what it was all supposed to be about?"
