Description

Hi, we are Nic & Claire, an English couple who have both worked in Law Enforcement for many years and have decided we now want to see the world ! Aside from being an investigator Nic also built his own house in the UK; (including electrics, plumbing, carpentry & gardening / landscaping). Nic is qualified as a trainer and also runs a small web design business.
In 2016 we both decided to leave our careers in search of a better life and have been running a charter motor yacht business belonging to Nics uncle in Cannes. This involved high-end group catering, bar work and accounts. We've done loads of social media work for the boat as well as designed and maintained a new business website, which has paid off by generating new charters over the last 12 months. I have been in charge of all the catering for the business,.spending loads of time in the galley, catering for all sorts of different groups, organising birthday do’s, hen do’s or just trying out new recipes, we have been responsible for general boat maintenance and repairs.
Nic has commercially endorsed Yachtmaster Offshore qualifications
I've already travelled extensively around the world, so have experience of various cultures, particularly in South America and South East Asia.
