Charter Captain on a Catamaran

I hired Capt Nicolas Turcotte at the beginning of the year to replace me as a captain on a charter catamaran. I wanted to testify about the professionalism, the serious, the amazing personality and the reliable skill Capt. Nicolas have. All my customer was 100% satisfied. Nicolas is a dive instructor as well and has a lot of diving experience. He brings my clients scuba-diving and was amazing doing discovery with them, even the clients who were a little being scared. I will say he has to talent to put people in confidence.

I will give Capt Nicolas the commands of my catamaran and the responsibility of my charter company ANYTIME.

This is a HIGHLY RECOMMENCED captain. Thank you again for your amazing service.

Review on Nicolas Turcotte

Nicolas Turcotte attended our RYA Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean Courses which started on 30 August 2018 and successfully passed his RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore exam 24 October 2018. He also completed and passed his RYA Yachtmaster Ocean Theory.

Yachtmaster Sailing School, Cape Town is an RYA (Royal Yachting Association) registered in the United Kingdom.

We have found Nicolas to be dependable, trustworthy, hard-working, conscientious, honest and courteous. He has proved to be a hands-on worker and has an excellent understanding of both the RYA Theory and practical which he attended through our school.

It was because of Nicolas’ excellent sailing ability and dedication to his training that he then went on to being Yachtmaster Sailing School’s First Mate on one of our Ocean passages (with 5 students onboard plus the Skipper) from Cape Town to St. Helena Island in the Atlantic Ocean.
Nicolas proved himself as a reliable and dedicated in all aspects of the vessel management and maintenance.

He was well-liked by the students as well as his Instructors, he is a pleasure to sail with and to have on board.

We have no hesitation and take pleasure in recommending Nicolas for any position which he may be offered.

We hire Captain Nicolas as skipper

We use the service if Nicolas for a passage from Saint Martin (France Territory) to Luperon, Dominican Republic in order to put our FREEDOM 40 SV in a safe place for the Hurricane season. Regarding our limited sailing experience, we needed to be skipper by a professional captain. Nicolas took command of our vessel from A to Z. He makes sure to explain to us EVERYTHING to make us feel safe. He also teaches us a lot of things about sailing, weather forecasts, navigation planning. We seriously appreciate his service, the price was right. He was HONEST and PATIENT with us. I find him highly professional and I would like to recommend his services to anyone! Thank you very much again!
