CREW

YACHT CAPTAIN: IAN FAGG
CHEF/STEWARDESS: NICOLA COLLINS

Coming from Cornwall, England and with sailing in his blood, Ian had no hesitation

in his choice of career… A third generation sailor, he first crossed the English Channel at the age of 3 and a first Atlantic crossing came at the age of 18.  After attending the Solent University in Southampton where he obtained an Engineering Foundation in Yacht Design, Ian became an RYA Offshore Commercial YachtMaster and has since sailed extensively in both the Caribbean & Mediterranean.

With his ready smile Ian is both an approachable & professional skipper.  Aboard Extraordinary his in depth knowledge of the Caribbean and New England, together with his obvious love of sailing prove an ideal combination for your vacation.

Ian is an avid windsurfer, wakeboarder and an experienced Scuba diver, who also enjoys the thrills & challenges of free diving.  Once out of the water Ian mixes superb cocktails and provides music for everyone with his enjoyable guitar playing.

Nicki has been involved in yachting for over 10 years.  She has sailed in the South Pacific, Australia, the Caribbean, Mediterranean and English Channel.  She has twice crossed the Atlantic but still claims to be a ‘fairweather sailor’.

After gaining a BA in Language & Linguistic Science she travelled extensively, developing an interest in cuisines from around the world.  She favours a light, healthy approach to cooking with an emphasis on incorporating local ingredients, colours & flavours where possible.  Since attending culinary school in Somerset, England

Nicki has been creating gourmet food on both sides of the Atlantic. Nicki enjoys the challenge and day to day variety of running a charter boat of this size and as Extraordinary requires a hands on crew, she can equally be found dropping the anchor or trimming the mainsheet.

A keen snorkeller, Nicki is also a qualified Scuba diver.   She enjoys hiking & cycling – great ways to explore all the new places Extraordinary takes her to – though in quieter moments you might well find her with a (cook)book in her hand.
