Nick Howard hasn't added a story.

Hola, soy Nick Howard, pescador artesanal y guía turístico en Providencia , una pequeña isla del Caribe colombiano que conozco como la palma de mi mano.

Desde los 14 años trabajo en el mar, abasteciendo a los restaurantes locales con pescado fresco y llevando a turistas a descubrir los secretos de estas aguas. Si has estado en Providencia, quizá hayas probado mi famoso ceviche o buceado conmigo en uno de los arrecifes más vibrantes y extensos del Caribe.

Desafortunadamente, el 26 de abril perdí mi lancha en un incendio causado por un cortocircuito en la embarcación del vecino. Era mi compañera desde hace 10 años, sin la cual mi trabajo como pescador y guía se ha visto muy afectado .

Providencia ya ha pasado por mucho—en 2020, el huracán Iota arrasó la isla—, pero nosotros, los isleños, seguimos adelante con trabajo duro y mucha dedicación . Todo aquel que hace un tour conmigo sabe lo que disfruto del mar y de mi trabajo. Ahora necesito tu ayuda para seguir dedicándome a lo que más me gusta por mucho tiempo y seguir escribiendo junto a mi comunidad la historia de Providencia.

¿Qué necesito?

He cotizado con proveedores confiables para garantizar transparencia :

  • Lancha Motomarlin Caribeña 26 pies (certificada): $34.000.000 COP
  • Dos motores Suzuki DF90 ATX : $97.606.556 COP
  • Transporte Cartagena–Providencia: $10,000.000 COP

Total equipos + transporte: 141.606.556 COP o 32,932 USD

META DE RECAUDACIÓN TOTAL: 36,225 USD

Incluye 10% para costos de plataformas, transferencias y fluctuaciones cambiarias. Así garantizamos que Nick reciba el 100% del valor requerido para su nueva herramienta de trabajo.

📌 En los documentos adjuntos verás las cotizaciones oficiales:

  • Lancha Motomarlin Caribeña 26 pies
  • Dos motores Suzuki DF90 ATX

Puedes también verificar mi trabajo como pescador y guía en mi Instagram @maravillas_del_caribe

¿Por qué necesito una lancha nueva?

La embarcación dañada ya no es segura ni funcional. Una lancha nueva y certificada me permitirá:

✔️ Ofrecer tours que cumplan con todos los estándares de seguridad

✔️ Garantizar comodidad y confianza a los turistas

✔️ Mantener mi fuente de ingreso a largo plazo

✔️ Seguir aportando pescado fresco a la comunidad

Cada aporte, grande o pequeño, me ayuda a cumplir mi meta de seguir trabajando, pescando y compartiendo la belleza de Providencia con todos ustedes. ¡Gracias por hacerlo posible!

Help Nick Recover His Boat And Return To The Sea!

Hi, I'm Nick Howard, a small-scale fisherman and tour guide in Providencia , a small Colombian Caribbean island I know like the back of my hand.

Since I was 14 , I've worked these waters— supplying local restaurants with fresh fish and taking tourists to explore our vibrant reefs . If you've visited Providencia, you might have tried my famous ceviche or gone diving with me in one of the Caribbean's most spectacular coral reefs.

Unfortunately, on April 26th, I lost my boat in a fire caused by an electrical short in my neighbor's vessel. She had been my companion for 10 years, and without her, my work as both a fisherman and a guide has been severely affected.

Providencia has been through so much— Hurricane Iota ravaged our island in 2020 —but we islanders keep moving forward through hard work and dedication . Anyone who's taken a tour with me knows how much I love the sea and my work. Now I need your help to continue doing what I love for a long time while helping write Providencia's next chapter alongside my community.

What Do I Need?

I've obtained transparent quotes from trusted suppliers:

  • 26' Motomarlin Caribeña certified boat: $34,000,000 COP
  • Two Suzuki DF90 ATX outboard motors: $97,606,556 COP
  • Cartagena-Providencia transport: $10,000,000 COP

Total equipment + transport: 141,606,556 COP (~$32,932 USD)

TOTAL FUNDRAISING GOAL: $36,225 USD


This includes 10% for platform fees, transfers, and currency fluctuations to ensure Nick receives the full required amount.


📌 See linked documents for the official quotes:

  • 26' Motomarlin Caribeña certified boat
  • Two Suzuki DF90 ATX outboard motors  

You can also verify my work as a fisherman and tour guide on my Instagram @maravillas_del_caribe

Why A New Boat?

The damaged vessel is no longer safe or functional . A new certified boat will allow me to:

✔️ Offer tours meeting all safety standards

✔️ Ensure tourist comfort and trust

✔️ Maintain my long-term income

✔️ Continue providing fresh fish to our community


Every contribution, big or small, helps me keep working, fishing, and sharing Providencia's beauty with all of you. Thank you for making this possible!
