Nils-Peter Hey

Nils came to offshore sailing relatively late, after many years as a skipper with the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief;

In the meantime, he has completed a good 15,000 nautical miles, crossed the Atlantic twice and completed his sailing training with the German SHS and Yachtmaster Offshore. He is an expert on the Canary Islands and feels really comfortable in the ‘jet’ when well reefed and with a good Atlantic wave. He is currently undergoing further training to become an RYA Yachtmaster Instructor and completing the Royal Yachtmaster Ocean.

Nils is probably the only publicly appointed and sworn marketing expert in the world who is also a professional skipper. There is hardly a better person to talk to about management issues on board in this combination.

On request, Nils also offers ‘management retreats under sail’ and team-building sessions on the Polaris (subject to availability), where you can use the detachment of sailing to solve difficult business issues. Pure relaxation with great added value for the participants.

When he is not sailing, he is a marketing expert, writes marketing books, gives marketing lectures and runs the Richard Pflaum publishing house in Munich with his wife Agnes.
