Broker's Guest Review

BIG NAUTI is by far the best boat we have been on and this was our 6th catamaran trip to the BVI. We loved the front lounging area without the trampoline, just perfect. The Skydeck was amazing and comfortable. We absolutely loved the boat! Rooms were larger and beds comfortable. Seemed very spacious, we do want to do this again. Everything was in working order, the condition of Big Nauti was wonderful. . The crew prides themselves in keeping the boat clean throughout the week. They cleaned the bedrooms daily, my wife loved this just nothing to do.. Where did you find Walmar and Tamika, both are Excellent. This crew are superb. The service that Tamika and Walmar provided was first class all the way. They were always willing to help and treated us well. Good cocktails were a wow morning noon and night.. Walmar and Tamika were interactive but not overbearing. Walmar and Tamika are highly competent and we felt safe and well taken care of. It was a windy week and Walmar found us coves that were protected, we always had fun and a good nights sleep. Best meals we have had! Great presentation and taste. Tamika worked hard to provide 3 excellent meals/day. It was like a 5 star restaurant. Walmar and Tamika’s meals and service Exceeded our expectations. Very creative and delicious. Our entire group would love to charter with BIG NAUTI ONCE AGAIN SOOOOON.

Amazing Hosts

Thank you for being the most amazing hosts, Captain, Chef, guides and bartenders! You have given us the vacation of a lifetime on the Big Nauti - she is amazing too. Much love and appreciation to you

Fabulous Vacay!

Blessed!

No Steps Were Missed Or Left Out

What a fabulous and fun-filled trip! No steps were missed or left out with these two. Wonderful hosts. The food was delicious, your kindness, accommodating everyone on each detail of the trip and the beauty and adventures were truly beyond expectations. We wish a beautiful life for you two loving people!

Service Was Flawless

The food was amazing - again thank you for being so accommodating to me. We made so many memories that you both were a part of. You thought of every little detail and are both so talented at what you do. You made us all feel so special and the service was flawless. Hope to do this again with you!

Could Not Have Had A Better 70th!

Thank You Friends!

Hospitality is one of the great virtues, but you already knew that, because you excelled at serving us and making us feel welcome for the past 9 days. As our captains, you amazed us with your sailing and navigation skills. We truly enjoyed the many meals that you prepared for us. Your food pleased everyone beyond belief. We felt safe, knowing that the boat was in excellent condition and very clean. We were forever amazed at how you cleaned our rooms without anyone seeing you. It was quite the magical act. Thank you friends! We hope to cross currents with you again soon.

Words will never do our trip justice! The trip was absolutely wonderful and your service levels and professionalism were at the top! We are so grateful to have been part of this wonderful journey!

Kindness and Consideration

Thank you for your kindness and consideration the entire charter! This was an experience of a lifetime and it wouldn't have happened without you!

Exceptional

Thank you for a wonderful week on this beautiful yacht! You all are exceptional - thank you for making it a triop of a lifetime.

Professional Yet Approachable

Very professional, yet very approachable....a unique and very appreciated combination. I'm confident that each member of our crew would echo those sentiments. I plan to charter again (and again) in the USVI/BVI and my decision regarding which yacht to hire will be primarily be based on whether you two are available.

Magical Vacation

Thank you Heiko and Rebecca for the most magical vacation ever. This vacation made my family and I feel incredibly spoiled - I am so grateful. I absolutely LOVED the nightly laser-pointer rundown of your travels, y'alls cocktail-making-skills and how you anticipated our every need and want.....warm towels after a swim, mid-afternoon charcuterie, cracking open an evening rose. You both were crucial in this incredible memory that I know my family will talk about for a long, long time - THANK YOU

Difference Makers!

I've done several BVI sailing trips over the years and all have been wonderful. But this trip was, without a doubt the best ever. Aside from the great weather, sailing and beautiful yacht, you two were the difference makers. You kindness, hospitality, generosity, warmth and sense of humour set this experience apart. Looking forward to returning soon

Consummate Professionals

Thank you for a wonderful week.You made what was already going to be a great experience into something truly unforgettable. I couldn't feel more fortunate to have shared this vacation with you both.Your constant thoughtfulness and kindness on top of your expertise in all things sailing, cooking, marine life and more, is exceptional. You are consummate professionals. If you come to nashville, please let us know!

Unbelievable Experience

A truly unbelievable experience that would not have been possible without Rebecca and Heiko. Their care, attention to detail and thoughtful and generous hospitality made this trip and it's one we'll be talking about and dreaming about for years to come....until next time.

Professional Expertise and Care

This trip exceeded our expectations! Your professional expertise and care shone throughout our week with you. We had the chance as a group to do some great snorkeling, tubing and swimming. Your cocktail mixing was much appreciated - special props - Heiko's painkiller was better than Soggy Dollar's. I especially appreciated the Pina Colada. Rebecca's cuisine was varied and delicious. We decided to eat onboard every night after one dinner off the boat. The poke was delish. We enjoyed the sailing and the chance for our family to be together in such a beautiful place.

Thank You A Million Times Over!

A trip of a lifetime that wouldn't have been possible without you! You're both masters of your craft, and cannot thank you enough for giving our family and friends such an amazing island experience! What a way to kick off 2024, we truly hope 2024 is your best year yet. It's well deserved. Thank you a million times over for your hospitality, professionalism and expertise - we couldn't have picked a better crew to share this week with!

Blessed!

I really appreciate all you did for my family and I. This truly was a trip of a lifetime and I couldn't be more blessed! Thank you for making this week the best adventure ever. I will never forget the memories that were created. I hope one day I can come back to the BVI's. thanks again

Great Hosts!

Thank you so much for an experience of a lifetime. You both were great hosts! Rebecca your food was amazing and seasoned perfectly. Heiko was very generous sharing his knowledge of diving with us novices. Hope to sail the seas again soon.

Moments That Take Your Breathe Away!

They say that life is measured not by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Unrivaled

Thank you for everything this week. Your knowledge of the areas we visited, and your dedication to conservation and education are unrivaled. We really appreciated the customer service especially after realizing that we truly were being pampered! The food was outstanding (every meal) and I couldn't be happier to spend the week with you! Also, thank you for the helpful hints; without that I would not have been able to have the snorkel experience I did!

Haven't Felt this Relaxed In Years!

Thank you for the most amazing sailing trip! I completely forgot about the daily grind and haven't felt this relaxed in years.

Thankyou again for an unforgettable experience

I Didn't Know What Vacation Meant!

Before this week, I didn't know what vacation meant. You spoiled us all thoroughly. The islands and oceans knowledge so freely given; the neverending incredible food; the peace and the parties. :) We are going home sunkissed, relaxed and full of new information and joy. Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the conservation education was the highlight for me!

Most Incredible Trip

A week on Big Nauti was one of the most incredible trips we've been on. This was our first time chartering a catamaran, and we couldn't have been happier with the entire experience. Before our trip even started, we had a call with Per and Ashley to go over our dietary preferences and what type of experiences we'd like to have. They arranged transportation to and from the airport. We were welcomed with cocktails and mock-tails for the kids. The food was outstanding. Ashley did an amazing job accommodating everyone's preferences. I even asked for some of her recipes to recreate the dishes at home they were that good. We had two kids on board with us, 10yrs and 13yrs old, who occasionally wanted to help make dessert. Ashley was so kind and sweet to them, allowing them to help her. Our son was super interested in how to operate the boat and how to read all the instruments. Per was so patient with him and explained everything to him. He let my son help him steer the boat and lower the sail. When the snorkel spots were a little far from the moorings he would, dingy us in closer to shorten the swim. Per and Ashley were both able to make sure that not only the kids but the adults were happy as well. We did lots of snorkeling and some sailing when the winds worked in our favor. The boat had all kinds of water toys as well. We used sea scooters, paddle boards, the swim platform, snorkel gear, fishing poles and went water tubing! You could relax or play as much as you wanted. The boat had plenty of space for the 6 of us. The beds were very comfortable. They accommodated all of our requests. We had a storm one night, and they set up a projector and screen in the main seating area for a movie night. The entire experience overall was so enjoyable. We are already looking to book again for next year. Per and Ashley were a huge part of this trip being such a success. I highly recommend booking The Big Nauti. -The Harris’
