SOLEMAR - Crew Bios

Nick was born & raised in the famous Victorian town of Scarborough located in the North East of England. His love of the sea has seen me revolve around a multitude of water sports which eventually progressed into sailing at the local yacht club. He then moved to a training establishment in Cowes called the United Kingdom Sailing Academy where he completed a course in professional crew training in 1995. This enabled me to start my career in Yachting full time.

Nick's career has lead him to work & gain experience on some of the most prestigious large motor yachts in the industry, including 4 years on Lady Marina (64m Feadship), firstly as boson, then up to 2nd officer & finally Chief Officer, 3 years on Octopus (124m Lurssen) as a bridge Officer, Helicopter landing officer and also certificated in Dynamic position & HiPap hydro-acoustics. My next venture found me joining Solemar (62m Amels) as First Officer in Nov 2006 to become Captain at the start of the 2008 Mediterranean season. More On Captain Nick Doyle
