He’s worked in, on, and under every boat imaginable, from sleek racing yachts to sturdy workboats, accumulating a wealth of practical knowledge that few can match.

His voyages span the globe, from the serene, sun-drenched lagoons of the Caribbean, where he navigated with a gentle touch, to the tempestuous expanses of the Pacific, where he faced down gales with unwavering resolve. He’s not just a navigator; he’s a problem solver, a master of improvisation. He’s coaxed vintage engines back to life with a deft hand and a deep understanding of their inner workings, and he’s wrestled stubborn anchors out of rocky depths with the patience and persistence of a seasoned fisherman.

Ask Nico about a boat problem, and you’ll be met with a weathered grin and a solution born from years of salt-infused experience.

Nico’s mastery extends beyond the mechanical.

He can anticipate changes in weather patterns, predict the movements of currents, and navigate by the stars with an accuracy that rivals modern technology. He is a legend, not of boastful claims, but of quiet competence, woven into the very fabric of the sea.

He understands that the sea demands respect, and he instills this respect in those he guides.
