MATE Hugo van der Westhuizen & CAPTAIN Nick Brucato
Captain Nick is from Upstate New York, where he spent his youth on Lake Ontario managing a fuel dock. His passion for sailing and diving took root in his teenage years, prompting him to purchase a sailboat before even owning a car. Nick holds a USCG 200GRT license and began his maritime career as an engineer and mate, steadily progressing to his current role as captain. With over 15 years in the yachting industry, he has navigated both the east and west coasts of the United States, explored Alaska, the Great Lakes, and extensively cruised Central America along with the entire Caribbean.
