Kind, Gracious and Accommodating

This was the best experience with the best crew! Everything was amazing - the boat, the food & drink, the places we visited & Christian & Nix are the sweetest duo!

They were so kind & gracious & always accommodating to whatever requests we had. Nix’ knocked the food & menus out of the park. Her meal selections were delicious & she always paid special attention to our preferences.

This was not our first time on a catamaran but this was the best trip we’ve ever had & that’s all thanks to Christian & Nix. They went over & above to make sure we had a memorable vacation.

We can’t thank our new friends enough for making our trip so fun & relaxing!

10/10

There are crews and there are friends. Nix and Christian are definitively in the latter category! We had the best food, sails, and fun (I wish I could take a Nix home as our personal chef!).
10/10 week.

Rockstars!

We just wrapped up the most incredible trip sailing through the British Virgin Islands on the 50' Ether, and I can’t say enough good things about our experience. Extra-special thanks to our amazing crew, Captain Christian and Chef Nix.

From day one, they made our entire family feel completely at home. Traveling with three kids (10, 10, and 4) can be a lot, but Christian and Nix went above and beyond to make it effortless and fun for everyone. Our 4-year-old absolutely adored them, she loved helping Nix in the galley and looked forward to every day playing sous chef with meals, and she had the best time playing and exploring with Christian.

Christian curated the perfect itinerary, taking us to stunning spots each day, hidden coves, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful beaches we never would have found on our own. Every stop felt like a highlight.

And Nix, wow. Every single meal was outstanding. Creative, fresh, and somehow perfectly tailored to both adults and kids alike. We were blown away meal after meal.

What truly made the trip special, though, was how much they genuinely cared. They didn’t just do their jobs, they made lasting memories for our whole family and I feel like they were part of our families on the trip.

If you’re considering a BVI charter, do yourself a favor and request Christian and Nix. Absolute rockstars. 🌊☀️

Extraordinary!

Extraordinary! Christian and Nix became our family and it was hard to leave them at the end of the week. They excelled in their roles and I wouldn’t go on another yacht without them.

Most of our group are seniors and visits to some of the islands involved getting in and out of a dingy onto ramps of different levels. Christian noticed right away those who had mobility or balance issues and went above and beyond to accommodate them. He was empathetic and caring and attentive as was Nix. They went out of their way to assist us in every way possible.

They work beautifully together as a team and made all of us feel pampered and welcomed and special. Christian made all of the arrangements for taxis when necessary, and restaurant reservations and ensured everything went according to plan before he left us. His partner, Nix, is a beautiful cheerful lovely soul and an excellent chef. Her cuisine was healthy and her recipes were unique and delicious. She accommodated likes and dislikes and always with a smile on her face.

The two of them made our trip fun and memorable with their knowledge and shared experiences and caring personalities.

Our yacht, Ether, had high end finishes, very comfy beds and linens and was very well designed with lots of windows and skylights that open for fresh air and lots of light.

It was a once in a lifetime experience and we also left feeling blessed to have met two such wonderful people. I will consider them dear friends for the rest of my life.

Absolutely Amazing

Christian and Nix are absolutely amazing!
They made this fabulous trip great!
We’re actually going to miss them. They became family.
Nix is an excellent cook, it was incredible! The most amazing dishes. There are no words to describe this truly amazing trip!
I’d do it again in a heartbeat!!

Rita

Attentive, Absolutely Amazing

Christian and Nix were absolutely amazing on The Ether.
The authentic daily meals were unbelievable, I got to experience meals that I loved and would have never have tried before.
They were very attentive to our needs and sailed to amazing spots.
Would definitely recommend the crew and boat to anyone looking to sail The BVI’s.

Do I need sailing experience?

No. Most luxury yacht charters include an experienced captain and professional crew who handle navigation and daily operations.

Can you recommend similar yachts?

Absolutely. If this yacht isn't the perfect match, our charter experts can recommend similar yachts based on your budget, group size, destination, and preferred amenities.
