David Patraiko From Maritime Dreams to Director of Projects for The Nautical Institute

Captain David Patraiko, the Director of Projects at The Nautical Institute. David's life journey has been shaped by his enduring love for the sea and a desire for adventure that led him to a career as a Master Mariner. Hailing from the coastal city of Boston, Massachusetts, David's childhood was filled with tales of travel and adventure. He once declared to his parents that he wanted to run away to sea, only to be told that ships no longer existed and aeroplanes had taken over. He believed this for a while, but destiny had other plans. At 18, David embarked on a maritime adventure by joining a maritime academy to become a ship's officer in the merchant navy. This decision set the course for the next 20 years of his life, during which he sailed around the world for commercial and leisure purposes, ultimately achieving the prestigious rank of Master Mariner. Today, David is a Director of projects at The Nautical Institute, an international organisation headquartered in London. He continues to indulge his passion for boats and all things maritime. David is not just a seafarer; he's also a loving husband to Lindsey and a proud parent of two globetrotting adult children.
