Meet the team 

Niko 

Founder & Yacht Adviser

More than 30 years on the water and four Olympic Games have shaped Niko’s eye for people and equipment, opportunities and decisions at the right moment. As a coach he shares that knowledge; as a yacht adviser he brings it to your decision.

That same curiosity drives him as an entrepreneur. Niko is excited by new ideas, sees possibilities and brings the right people together. He enjoys thinking ahead — with the business sense to turn a vision into something real. He draws on a wide network and the pleasure of getting things moving.

In yacht advisory, he combines this openness with his experience as a sailor: he listens, thinks things through with you and helps you find the boat that fits your plans.

From racing to yacht advice

From the 420 to the 49er, the Moth and yachts, Niko knows sailing from different perspectives. Five major-event medals with Nico Delle-Karth and overall World Cup victories are part of his career. What matters for his advice is the experience behind them: observing carefully, understanding connections and sharing knowledge clearly.
