Captain Michael Lang & Chef Jennifer Lang

The heart of Nauti Nickel is the husband-and-wife team of Michael and Jennifer Lang, seasoned professionals with over 70 luxury term charters under their belts. Their connection is effortless, their energy magnetic, and their passion for creating unforgettable experiences contagious.

Michael, originally from California, serves as both Captain and onboard Engineer. His calm command of the vessel and deep systems knowledge bring safety and confidence to every journey. But more than that, his joy in working side-by-side with Jennifer creates a seamless experience for guests—one where every detail feels thoughtful and perfectly orchestrated.

Jennifer, a Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef with French roots and global influences, delights guests with meals that are vibrant, elevated, and full of soul. Her career began in Portland’s fine dining scene, and her menus now reflect a love for local Caribbean flavors with upscale finesse. A natural hostess, Jennifer blends refined service with heartfelt warmth—making every guest feel like family.

Together, Michael and Jennifer lead with intention, joy, and an infectious sense of adventure—welcoming each guest not just onto a yacht, but into their world
