NAUTI NICKEL Guest Comments

Necker Island Pickelball Tournament for Charity Hosted on Nauti Nickel

The Nauti Nickel ownership & crew created an experience that cannot be described in words. The emotion & wonderment of what comes next is beyond incredible.
We have been able to enjoy 1st class experiences in many beautiful places. None of them even compare to this. The adventure within the BVI with a crew who provides the ultimate service at an unbelievable level of attention provides an entirely different level of understanding from the experience sailing here. Their knowledge takes this to the ultimate level. You’ll find yourselves completely immersed in the BVI on the most premier way to travel.

Hats off to the Nauti Nickel.
For the most memorable trip we have ever experienced!

Much love & success!
Curtis & Sheri

Necker Island Pickelball Tournament for Charity Hosted on Nauti Nickel

WOW! This is an experience of a lifetime.
The NN is perfect, the crew is outstanding and the hospitality is at the highest level.
Shout out to Mike – our new favorite bartender who happens to be a killer Captain! We’re mad at Chef JenJen because we’re heading home several lbs heavier after being absolutely spoiled by her incredible meals! (wink)
The whole staff is amazing — we appreciate you!

All of this is because the boat owners are the kindest, most gracious, most FUN friends EVER!
Love you guys – thank you for all you do.

With gratitude,
Dave & Kristen

Guests that Chartered with Mike and Jenn in 2016, came back April 2025 on Nauti Nickel

Nauti Nickel was a most wonderful experience for a family vacation. The boat has wonderful bedrooms with large bathrooms and nice large enclosed separate shower, with lots of water pressure. The deck space is amazing with both the front and the flybridge having wonderful tables and seats as well as a number of lounges that can accommodate all on each deck with room to spare. The flybridge also feature a jacuzzi with a sitting bar around it, a bbq, and a total bar for all services. The fly also has full seating pointing forward to provide wonderful viewing while underway,as the excellent captain is piloting the vessel.

The main salon is well appointed and very large to meet all needs. The 2 tenders, 2 sea bobs, ski boards with electric control,numerous water floating toys and more provide all the water sport needs for all to use even at same time, something for everone!

Captain Mike Lang and Chef Jennifer Lang are simply amazing, so friendly, happy, and do anything to make the vacation to be remembered as outstanding. Mike prepared an excellent itinerary and then accommodated any additional changes to make the route exceptional. Chef Jennifer, well we all gained weight as the food preparation was again outstanding, creative, extremely tasty, and beautifully served, each and every meal. They work wonderful as a team and their personalities help create a fun and professional experience at all times. They have extensive knowledge of the seas and all the islands and special places in both USVI and BVI. The crew we had were: Connie, Jake and Hannah, who all made us feel at home and comfortable. They were prepared to do whatever to make the trip exceptional and nothing was for the wanting, a wonderful team. The vessel is excellent for family or friends traveling together. I would definitely recommend highly the vessel and crew as exceptional. We have chartered over 25 times all thru Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe and would rate Captain Mike and Jennifer as the best combo we ever experienced and are definitely going to return to the Nauti Nickel.

Thank you Shelly and Yacht Charters Guru for recommending this team and ship! We had the time of a life time with our family, God Bless all!

Broker Feedback: 4/15/25 Post Charter Review:
5 /5 Stars. A memorable vacation all around. The Nauti Nickel is a beautiful, well equipped boat; from comfortable rooms, lounging areas and all the water activities we could want. The crew along with Captain Mike and Chef Jenn were over the top. Each crew member provided individual attention to all details during our journey. The meals provided by Chef Jenn were outstanding. We could not imagine a better time. The only downside, was we had to head home after 7 days.

Simply Amazing

~A Collection of Guest's Quotes from Reviews of Michael and Jennifer as a Captain and Chef Team~

“I loved the fact that Mike and Jennifer were so accommodating and easy going”

“a marvelous team, whose fast reaction/interaction on deck and in the kitchen is a joy to behold“
“Mike’s agility and knowledge about the area and about Ad Astra and how to maneuver just about anything is impressive”

“10th charter for Cheryl and me.... 2nd on Ad Astra. Michael and Jennifer are second to none.... In fact they are setting the new standard for service and cuisine for our future trips.”

“Michael knew everything about the waters and the yacht. Our sailing was superb in every way and we felt secure and safe!”

“You were professional and fun at the same time. You were clearly knowledgeable, highly skilled and dedicated to your craft. You were always attentive to our every want and need, while seamlessly operating and maintaining a beautiful boat”

“Our trip was excellent, Jennifer and Michael are a wonderful team, that provide a world class chef and a extremely capable and professional Captain.”

“We were so lucky to get you guys as our crew. We plan to follow you to whatever new yacht you end up on in the future!”

“My family and I have been fortunate to travel and have many great 5 star experiences both inside and outside the US. As you might imagine, with four teenagers it is rare that everyone likes the same thing at the same level. All six of us agreed that this would be the best trip we have ever experienced. 5 star accommodations, 5 star + food, 5 Star service, and a 6 star experience.”

“Jenn, your food was incredible. The fact that you operate a scratch kitchen while juggling everything else is impressive. You and Mike make a great team. The two of you work long hours to make everything happen, job well done!”

“Yes, way beyond our expectations. They were both phenomenal. Michael went out of his way to be a full-time activities director for our family and personally provided hours and hours of fun (watersports and otherwise) for us and our kids. Jenn is literally crazy about cooking and spent multiple hours longer than we ever could have expected preparing meals for us. They were both dedicated to their roles in a way that I had trouble believing, and it's clear they truly love what they are doing. (And they have fun doing it!) They literally worked 18 hours a day (sometimes longer). I am so impressed with both of them that I hope to book our next charter with them again.”

“The second part of the equation...CREW. Oh, where to begin with these two! Let’s start with their best character traits. First, Mike’s ability to handle any situation with a calm resolve and humble approach is truly remarkable. This is an attribute we all wish we had more of or surrounded ourselves with others that exhibited these traits more often. As for Jen, her infectious smile accompanied by her bubbly personality will make anyone feel right at home.
From the moment we first met and boarded the CATSY, they put their best character traits in action. Jen welcomed us as though we were long time friends and Mike graciously gave us the ground rules while making us feel as though there really were no rules...this was our kingdom for a week. Before I go any further describing just how great these two are, there’s something that should be understood. The CATSY is one of the larger yachts in the BVI fleet. This is a crew of two that manages everything from docking, anchor setting, sailing, cooking, cleaning, entertaining and on and on. Somehow they make it all look easy (99% of the time anyway).
These two are in constant motion but will always stop to answer a question, ask you if there’s anything you need, or what you want to do for the day and they do it all with a smile.”
