A crazier moment!: Nicky Li
A wilder moment!: Capt. James
Hey! I’m James, a professional Captain and Engineer with over 20 years of experience in the industry. Captain by trade, engineer by skill—I sail it, fix it, and somehow make it look easy.
I’ve sailed vessels ranging from 18ft Hobie Catamarans in the Outer Banks of the Carolinas, including numerous monohulls of various sizes up to 65ft with friends and clients in Hawaiian islands, to a 50ft Leopard Catamaran throughout the Caribbean. I consider myself hardworking, professional, and detail-oriented, always striving to make every experience safe and enjoyable.
I’m an outgoing, well-spoken, and goal-oriented person who enjoys meeting new people and connecting over all kinds of conversations. I also like to keep things light I enjoy sharing a good laugh to make everyone feel comfortable and at ease. In my free time, I like to learn new skills, travel, explore different cuisines, and spend time cooking and baking. I’m also a scuba instructor with a passion for underwater photography and capturing unique moments both above and below the water.
My long-term goal is to build a small fleet of charter vessels, continue growing within the industry, and continue refining skills necessary for long passages. I look forward to cruising my yacht Resilience throughout the Caribbean and eventually to French Polynesia, creating unforgettable experiences for families and guests along the way.
Hello!! I’m Nicky, a highly motivated and responsible individual with over two years of hands-on experience in the commercial boating industry in Málaga, Spain. I’ve thrived deckhand and stewardess on various class of charter vessels, I’m a positive, hardworking, and detail-oriented individual, with a strong commitment to safety and maintaining high standards and contributing to smooth guest experiences.
I’m a friendly and outgoing person who enjoys connecting with others and making the most of life. I love to travel and explore new places, and I really value spending quality time with friends and family. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano and listening to music. I’m also really into exploring different fashion styles of clothing ,it’s something I find fun and expressive. I have a big love for animals and enjoy trying new experiences, especially when it comes to discovering great places and new things.
My goal is to grow within the yachting industry, leveraging my practical experience and dedication.
