He also has a remarkable singing voice that adds a special touch to any guest experience.

Before entering yachting, Dan was a professional musician, performing with Paolo Nutini and playing major festivals like Glastonbury, Leeds, and Reading. Inspired by his Chief Officer father, Dan decided to take a break from touring and pursue a new path at sea. What he found was the perfect blend of both worlds - using his talents to entertain guests while exploring breathtaking destinations.

Dan has sailed aboard renowned vessels including *Stella Maris*, *The Wellesley*, *Illusion*, *Nero*, and *Aquarius*. His favorite cruising grounds are the Dalmatian and Balearic Islands, where the scenery is as inspiring as the music he loves to share. If you´re lucky, you might just catch him performing an impromptu set on deck - an unforgettable highlight of any charter.

Cupcake Guest Reviews

Previous Yacht NameInvision
Summer 2023

´It was a wonderful trip--we loved the crew! Captain Nick has built a great team of overqualified individuals that my wife kept saying doubled as models. We had various friends of ours join us on board for different days, which I know can be taxing on the crew, but not only was the chef prepared for more people, the whole crew made everyone feel welcome. They were very accommodating. Our friends had the time of their lives, most of them having never experienced something like that! And the boat´s sky lounge with the black jack table was an unexpected hit. The kids and the adults were up there every night for hours--it really brought everyone together. My whole family loved our trip on CUPCAKE. We never did get to catch tuna with Captain Nick though, so I guess we´ll just have to join them again.´

Winter 2023

All I have to say is WOW! And Thank you!!

Thanks for an amazing time that exceeded all expectations. The crew, led by Captain Nick´s skills (functioning way beyond his years),made the trip truly exceptional. The Interiors team rock-solid performance and the phenomenal chef, added to the outstanding experience. The attention to detail in boat cleanliness and the top-notch amenities (the beds, the sheets, the air conditioning, the water pressure in the showers)were simply outstanding. The tenders and seabobs made for perfect adventures, like swimming alongside a big turtle. My friends and I are still buzzing about this trip, with memories that will last a lifetime. Cheers to Cupcake and its crew for making us feel like royalty!
