About our skippers and naturalist guides

Simon Paterson - Owner & Skipper - Simon has spent much of his life on the waters of the Moray Firth. 
Owner and operater of Findhorn Marina, along with his wife Katrina, he is kept busy as an RYA Powerboat trainer and advanced commercial powerboat driver.
His main love is powerboating, however he can sometimes be spotted sailing and windsurfing.
After taking over North 58° Sea Adventures from it's previous owners, in late 2012, Simon set up a new home for the business and 'Buchaneer' at Findhorn Marina, offering locals and visitors alike the opportunity to explore the Moray Firth.

Pippa Low- Operations manager, Skipper & Marine Biologist-  Pippa lives to be near the water. As a marine biologist, sailing instructor, divemaster and advanced commercial powerboat driver she loves spending all day on, in or under the water.
After coming home from travelling, and working as a Sailing instructor at the Marina since she was young, the opporunity came about for her to run North 58° Sea Adventures with Simon.  
Pippa spends her days taking guests out for an adventure onboard Buchaneer; with her knowledge of both the area and it's wildlife she provides guests with an insight into the wild and wonderful Moray Firth.
