Bali 54 (2022) 'Location'

Crew Profiles:
CAPTAIN: Nik Dorward

Growing up just outside London, Nik was captivated by the food scene that surrounded him. This led to him training as a chef and working in various roles within hospitality at some of the capital’s most prestigious restaurants and hotels. Nik’s sailing career started in dinghies, sailing in lakes and braving the elements along the UK’s coast. As his passion developed so did his desire for a slightly warmer climate which led him to Greece and slightly bigger boats.

Whilst in Greece and the Med, Nik married his love for hospitality and sailing. Working as a flotilla skipper and charter skipper exposed him to an array of different yachts and destinations. More recently Nik has been back in the UK putting his experience to good use training new sailors and running adventure cruises.

Nik has a real love for the sea and the unique perspective that sailing gives. He is as much at home in the sea doing water sports as he is exploring the shores. You can expect him to uncover the local haunts for excursions ashore and drop the hook in bays that provide the perfect backdrop for sunset cocktails.

CHEF: Lily Davison

Growing up close to London, Lily was born with a passion for cooking, influenced by the chefs in her family and her travels around the world. She pursued a career as a private chef on yachts after completing her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Geographical Sciences and Environmental Policy and Management at the University of Bristol, in the United Kingdom. As a manager at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships for 5 years, Lily also enjoys hosting and has a high standard for guest interactions.

When it comes to her creativity in the kitchen, she enjoys incorporating fresh local ingredients and loves immersing herself in culture. She has signature dishes that are heavily influenced by her travels to Mexico, Italy, and Spain. Lily isn’t afraid to merge local, sometimes exotic ingredients into her dishes. Making her style unique, and giving her an ever-expanding menu.
