Looking to make nautical friends to sail the world
I’m looking for fun friendly and relaxed crew (shared costs basis: €25-30 per day) to join me for a week to see how we get along and also get to know the boat in preparation to return for longer trips (2 - 6 weeks) to sail the Med and then further afield as I sail Nikaia round the world.
This summer I will be cruising the med (home port Nice, France). I can sail Nikaia on my own and have sailed her with crew from Denmark to Nice around Gibraltar so I have some experience.
So if you enjoy relaxing in beautiful bays and exploring coastal towns and villages as well as learning about the safely of the vessel, navigation and an occasional night watch send me a message and we can chat on Skype.
DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC I will still be doing maintenance in May so if your interested in learning about how to fix things on a boat yourself, your welcome to join me and sail later when the virus passes.
Stay healthy
Debbi
PS. If you can cook keeping the kitchen super clean or play the guitar on board you will definitely catch my attention :)
- Nikaia is strictly no smoking & no drugs.
- Due to lack of space, no couples.

Went for a week, stayed for a month
I’ve been crew and piloted our family boat and thought I knew a thing or two until I met Debbi. I went back to rookie level, man did I learn so much from her and enjoyed learning from her experience. During the first week, she taught me the ins and outs of Nikaia, from the avalanche cupboard to raising, lowering, and storing sails. It felt very natural with her, we were in flow after that week, our daily routine was synchronized from enjoying our coffee&tea in the morning to siestas in the late afternoon. Enjoying sundowners with her cocktails and snacks then me cooking her dinners under the stars. Nikaia is solid, from her sleek teak decks, comfy galley and lounge. I am used to cruising in large motor yachts and Nikaia was just as comfy and cozy. Could have easily spent more months were it not me having to go back to work. Sailing Nikaia was the experience I was searching for, as I took the helm she took me for a ride a couple of times and I experience what sailing is about, hard going back to motor yachts. And Finally, none of this would have been as great as I describe had it not been for Debbi, she was warm, caring, and fun to be around. I felt as I knew her for a lot longer then I did and look forward to sailing with her again.
