Numbers are kept small to ensure comfortable space for everyone on board, allowing for each person to receive ample individual instructor attention to do exactly what you have come out to do, take your sailing to that next level, on a bigger yacht, hopefully in different weather.

With over 20 years of experience in the yachting industry combined with solid reputation and high degree of professionalism, Nick has now been teaching sailing in the Adriatic for 5 years.
Kiwi born and raised, Nick taught himself how to sail, invested in his own yacht and began to teach sailing in the city of Wellington, famous for its wild windy weather. This provided the perfect environment for Nick to hone his skills, instilling in him a love a strong southerly winds and the heel that comes with the confidence to push a sailing boat in that kind of weather.
Working in the Caribbean aboard mono-hulls and catamarans proved another amazing adventure which ultimately led Nick and his now wife Mahina to expand their sailing experience from the South Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea off the coasts of New Zealand and Australia out into the Yellow sea in China and passages through the North Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean, Tyrrhenian and Adriatic Seas.
Having sailed as a cruiser, racer, instructor and providing premium family holidays for others, both Nick and Mahina love to to teach and understand there are many different learning styles.
Over the years Nick has become an instructor for Yachting New Zealand, the RYA, ICC, Yachting Australia and is now here for you as 45 Degrees Sailing.

Thanks to the crew at 45 degrees I am officially hooked on sailing. I always have the most amazing time on the learn to sail trips. We are always learning something new. As a beginner with absolutely no experience, I couldn't recommend this team enough. Nick's knowledge, skills, and patience are truly one of a kind. I couldn't ask for a better teacher. Thank you!

Hvala ti Nick & Mahina for such an awesome day out on the yacht. I really had to pinch myself a couple of times to make sure it was real. The ability for me to be hands on with the sailing was perfect for me so thanks for your on-deck tuition & guidance. Your in-depth knowledge and experience of sailing is 2nd to none. The day was certainly the highlight of my month here in Croatia. I look forward to another sail with you.

I loved learning to sail with these guys! Nick is an incredible instructor who really focuses on you learning how things work. For those who are hands on learner's, like myself, he allows you the time and opportunity to fumble your way through something to figure it out! Would highly recommend.
