I’m Nicolas Escalante — yacht captain, filmmaker, and drone pilot based in Newport, Rhode Island. I hold an MCA Master 200GT and have spent years running private yachts across the East Coast and New England.
I know the deck, the sails, the rigging, and the systems because I’ve run them in every condition. Then I pick up the camera, launch the drone, or step onto the chase boat and capture it all. Most photographers show up at the dock. I show up knowing the boat.
Broker listings, refits, regattas, charters, deliveries. If it’s on the water, I’m there.
Race day, charter weeks, sea trials, boat shows. I'm on deck with the crew and in the air with the drone. Full photo, video, and aerial coverage.
Shot from the deck, the drone, and the chase boat. Now on your wall.
