Robert Hickman

I have been a professional seafarer for over 20 years, most of which has been in the capacity of Captain. I have worked throughout the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Northern European waters. During that time I have amassed many tens of thousands of sea miles of experience.

My love of the water was fostered at a very early age whilst attending Pangbourne Nautical College, an old military training college for Officers entering the Merchant Navy.

I have worked on a whole range of vessels from classic sailing yachts to modern cutting edge superyachts, and always with excellent longevity.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to have worked on both Private and Charter vessels providing exceptional quality of service and standards of safety.
