CAPTAIN NIKOLAS
Nikolas was born in 1994 in Athens, Greece. He speaks Greek and English. Nikolas grew up in the coastal suburbs of Athens and has spent most of his life in, or in close proximity to, the sea. His involvement with sailing began at a very young age, and at the age of nine, he started competing in the Optimist sailing class. His passion for the sea led him to offshore yacht racing, where he has been competing for the last years. His career in sailing started as crew on offshore deliveries both in Greece and abroad and progressed to a permanent crew position on a number of very impressive superyachts, but his love for sailing led him to pursue a career as a professional sailboat skipper. He has also skippered a power catamaran for the famous filming “Gordon Goes Greek” with Gordon Ramsay for ITV. His sociable and pleasant character gives him the ability to make people feel at ease near him, and his knowledge and skills provide a sense of security to his guests. Always trying to upgrade the level of his services, he will go on and beyond to provide a satisfying experience personalized for each of his guests.
