Pacific expertise
You’ve got an expensive yacht. It’s pristine, it’s your dream, and it needs to get from the sunny shores of France to the lagoons of Tahiti—a punishing, 11,500-nautical-mile odyssey. You don’t just hire “a skipper.” You need a rare kind of professional: someone who turns the perilous gap between two continents into a successful, safe, and precisely managed journey.
You need Nico Curbishley.

Before the lines are thrown, a meticulous operation begins:
