Growing up just outside London, Nik was captivated by the food scene that surrounded him. This led to him training as a chef and working in various roles within hospitality at some of the capital's most prestigious restaurants and hotels.

Nik’s sailing career started in dinghies, sailing in lakes and braving the elements along the UK’s coast. As his passion developed so did his desire for a slightly warmer climate which led him to Greece and slightly bigger boats.

Whilst in Greece and the Med, Nik married his love for hospitality and sailing. Working as a flotilla skipper and charter skipper exposed him to an array of different yachts and destinations. Nik put his experience to good use training new sailors and running adventure cruises before leaving the Med.

Nik has a real love for the sea and the unique perspective that sailing gives. He is as much at home in the sea doing water sports as he is exploring the shores. You can expect him to uncover the local haunts for excursions ashore and drop the hook in bays that provide the perfect backdrop for sunset cocktails – which he makes incredible ones. Nik is a seasoned Bahamas captain going on 3 years in this cruising ground.
