Thomas Bik

Captain

CAPTAIN: Thomas BIK
STCW 95
Nationality: Dutch
Language spoken: Dutch & English

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Namaste’s Captain Thomas has always had a passion for the ocean.
Because both of his parents were sailing fanatics, it was only natural that Thomas spent his childhood partaking in every water sport imaginable.
It became very clear that his drive would point him toward a career on the water.

Thomas graduated from nautical college with a bachelor’s in Water Management and a minor in Smart Water, followed by a master’s in Hydrology.

After graduation, Thomas worked as a first officer on sailing yachts up to 500GT.
He quickly realized that the size of these yachts limited his interaction with guests.
He therefore decided to obtain his Yachtmaster Offshore and Ocean certifications and become a captain on smaller sailing vessels.

He has worked both in flotillas in the Mediterranean and in the south Caribbean on luxury sailing charter yachts.

The yachting industry has no global listing service to which all charter yachts must subscribe to, making it impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market.
