We are Nicholas and Esther, Captain and Admiral, as our friends call us.

A couple of travellers with a nomadic soul and a sailor’s spirit — we love navigating, discovering new places, hidden corners, landscapes, traditions, and people from all around the world.

In 2016 we discovered our passion for the sea as part of the crew on L’Embruix, a Gallard 13.50 motor-sailer that took us along the Andalusian coast, through Gibraltar and Cabo de Gata, and up the Guadalquivir River all the way to Seville.

In 2017 we left behind a conventional life to make a dream come true: to live at sea.
We bought our own boat — an old, classic-style trawler that, after two months in the shipyard, we transformed into our floating home.

With the QK-IV, we’ve sailed the Balearic Islands, the Catalan and French coasts, the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily, and much of the Italian coastline — all the way to Greece.

Since 2018, the Greek islands have become our refuge, a place of dazzling sunsets and star-filled skies.
We have sailed across the Ionian Sea and most of the Aegean, reaching it through the Corinth Canal.

After years exploring the Aegean and spending a windy winter on the island of Kos, we decided to sail around the entire Peloponnese, returning to the Ionian to enjoy once again its calm waters, lush landscapes, and the warmth of Lefkada Marina — where we spent our first winter in Greece and two lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2023 we sailed back to Spain, and in 2024 we covered 2,700 nautical miles to return once more to Greece.
We passed through Corsica, Sardinia, and the wonderful island of Sicily before jumping to Malta. After a month exploring the island, we headed north into the Adriatic to discover the Italian coast, all the way to Venice — a dream come true, moored right in front of St. Mark’s Square.
We continued our adventure to Trieste, and then down the Adriatic, exploring Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania, before finally reaching Greece again.

After all these years living aboard, one thing remains clear: what we love most is the sea — its people, its life, and the endless joy of living and sailing upon it.
