Callum Sutherland | Marine Electrician & Systems
Having had the unique opportunity to grow up internationally, Callum has learned the value of cultural diversity and enjoys connecting with boaters from around the world. The beautiful coast of British Columbia has served as a home base as he frequently travelled home to spend time on the water. His passion for boating sparked from a young age. He began his professional career in 2011 while attending Quadrant Marine Institute in Sidney, BC. In addition to achieving his Marine Service Technician certification, he also completed education with ABYC Electrical, BCIT, and Transport Canada.

Nicolas Noel | Marine Electrician
Nicolas developed a deep fascination for the ocean early in life, shaping his respect for the marine environment and inspiring him to learn sailing at a young age in the North Sea, the Mediterranean, and the waters of Brittany.
A native French speaker, Nicolas began his career in the audiovisual and communications sectors before moving to Canada. On Vancouver Island, he found both a new home and a new professional path that finally brought him back to the sea.
Drawn to marine electrical systems and onboard electronics, Nicolas thrives on problem-solving and continuous learning. He is known for his attention to detail, strong work ethic, and conscientious commitment to completing projects efficiently and to high standards—work that keeps vessels performing at their best.
