NIKI YOURA | 2nd Engineer (Rotational) | Canada
Niki is an energetic Canadian whose heart has been longing for the sea as long as she can recall.
She attributes this longing to frequent family trips to Canada’s West Coast. Despite being raised in
Calgary, Alberta; a city surrounded by mountains and prairies; she always knew that her career would
take her seaward. Niki has always had a curiosity about how and why things work the way they do.
From a young age Niki was a tinkerer, choosing to work on her own cars rather than take them to
a mechanic, work on home projects, and dismantle anything she could, just to take a peek inside.
While attending a university transfer semester in Nice, France, she learned about the yachting industry.
It was clear to her then, that yachting was the perfect way to combine her love for the sea, and
constant curiosity into a rewarding career.
