Nik and Lily are a dynamic duo who go over and beyond for their guest. Having twin 13 year old boys, it’s great having their high energy.
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Sailing Location! This summer marked our third summer in a row sailing with Nik and Lily, and we’ve already booked our fourth trip for next summer—which probably says it all!
Nik is an incredible captain—high energy, adventurous, knowledgeable, and always full of fun ideas that make every day feel special.
Lily is an amazing chef, and somehow the food gets better every single year! Together, they have an incredible way of creating an experience that feels both effortless and unforgettable.
What started as an amazing family vacation has turned into something so much more. Nik and Lily have become dear friends of ours, and that is truly one of the greatest gifts of these trips. They go above and beyond to make every detail special and have helped us create some of our favorite family memories.
There is a reason we keep coming back year after year. If you are considering a charter with Sailing Location, book it! The beautiful destinations and incredible boat are only part of the experience—Nik and
Lily are what make it truly exceptional. We already can’t wait for next summer!
Crew Review from Previous Yacht
We traded the money for the memories and what incredible memories we have now made. This journey through the Exumas was nothing short of magical. From swimming with the nurse sharks, feeding iguanas, strolling powdery sandbars, and amazing food; every moment was a dream come true.
Captain Nik and Chef Lily- Your hospitality, heart, and humor made this amazing adventure that much more extraordinary. The food, the cocktails, and attention to detail was top tier. We felt the love from the beginning. We will always remember our beach lunches and all our other incredible meals.
There are good ships and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.
Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime for our family.

Still in awe of our unforgettable time in the Exumas aboard Location with Nik and Lily. It was everything I’d hoped for and more- filled with countless “pinch me” moments that I’ll cherish forever! Fro the weather to the incredible food and amazing company, everything was perfect. Already dreaming about the next time we can return and re-life it all over again.
Thank you Nik and Lily for going above and beyond in every way. We were so beyond impressed with your work, but what we will cherish most is the bond we’ve formed with you both. Grateful to now call you friends.

What a week! This is our second trip aboard and it WILL NOT BE OUR LAST! This week was all first and we had such a blast. It was amazing to see the crew in a completely different element from when I came aboard with my family and how well they adapted to the different atmosphere of our group. Lily our food & service is beyond! You have such an amazing talent. I cant decide what meal was my favorite as they just kept shocking me. Nik you were such a trouper putting up with us girls. You kept us safe, informed, and so entertained. WE LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE! You both are truly the best and we love spending the week with you both.

Captain Nic Dorward
Growing up just outside London, Captain Nik was captivated by the food scene around him. This led him to train as a chef and work in hospitality roles at some of the capital’s most prestigious restaurants and hotels.
Nik’s sailing career began in dinghies, first on inland lakes and later along the UK coast. As his passion grew, so did his desire for warmer waters, leading him to Greece and larger yachts. While working throughout Greece and the Mediterranean, he combined his love of hospitality and sailing as both a flotilla skipper and charter skipper, gaining experience across a wide variety of yachts and destinations. More recently, Nik returned to the UK, where he put his experience to work training new sailors and running adventure cruises.
Nik has a genuine love for the sea and the unique perspective sailing offers. He is equally at home enjoying water sports, exploring ashore, or seeking out local favorites. Guests can expect him to uncover memorable excursions, hidden bays, and the perfect anchorages for sunset cocktails.
