ETHER

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!!

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.

Love Our Week!

Loved our week on Ether! Christian and Nix exceeded every hope we had in a crew. 

They made it fun and relaxing and were part of the family. 

Highly recommend a BVI charter.

Best Vacation You Can Take!

Best vacation you can take. It’s like having a personal butler, chef and concierge who also entertain and problem solve every minute of the day. 

There is enough to do and see in the BVI that you could do this trip over and over and have it feel like a new trip each time. 

The quality of the destination and the talent and care of Nix and Christian sets the week apart from all other trips we have taken. 

It’s hard to believe you can be so comfortable on such a big adventure. Would love to do this again!

Highly Recommended

For 7 days we explored several of the British Caribbean islands with them. We had an amazing time.



There were four of us adults (along with Christian, the captain, and Nix, the chef). The space onboard was comfortable — we were able to spend time together and relax freely.



We let Christian suggest the itinerary and it truly couldn’t have been better; each stop was a different kind of paradise. Nix made sure every meal and appetizer was varied and beautifully prepared, with an exquisite international menu.



Highly recommended for a truly unique experience.

How did you find your crew?  Were they friendly, knowledgeable,

attentive and accommodating?  

Crew was outstanding ... couldn't have

been better.  Christian's seamanship and willingness to accommodate

our preferences was great.  Nix was fun, attentive and terrific. Best

of all, they worked together extremely well.  It was tough to say

goodbye to them at the end of the week.





Was the yacht comfortable, clean and well ventilated? What was your

favorite aspect of the yacht? 

The yacht was as expected.  Nix and Christian kept it spotless - A/C worked perfectly.



Was the food enjoyable and well presented? Did the chef customize the

menu to your preferences? 

Nix is a very talented chef.  We raved about the food all week.  Her portions were perfect and she accommodated allergies and preferences effortlessly.  The food was

certainly one of the main highlights of the trip



Did you enjoy the itinerary and the area you sailed? 

Itinerary was great - some of which was the crews recommendations, some based on

input we got from friends.

The Best!

Nix and Christian were absolutely amazing!! The went above “and beyond” with every aspect of the trip!! I can’t say enough great things about them……from the great meals, drinks and personality they didn’t miss a thing! 

I would highly recommend them as your crew!! They are the best!!!

Our trip on the Ether was fantastic! 



Nix and Christian are a wonderful duo and showed us many beautiful spots in pristine coves around Virgin Gorda and surrounding BVI’s. They had great recs for hikes, restaurants and water sports. 



Nix is a superb chef and every meal was creative, delicious and beautifully presented. 



We would highly recommend this trip to other families and friends.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Christian and Nix were amazing! 

Every detail handled, and expectations exceeded! 

There were 3 generations on our trip and they were perfect with us all! 

Best family vacation ever! See you next year!

Everything Was Absolutely Perfect!

Easily one of the best (if not the best) vacations I have ever taken. Everything was absolutely perfect. Stewart and Reeve were gracious and engaging and made our time together all the better. The Ether was well appointed, the meals that Reeve prepared were delicious and elegant. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. We had a group of 8 (2 families and our children) and had an absolute blast, making 2 new friends in Stewart and Reeve. A++++

Just Do It!

The trip of a lifetime!



We just returned from a week on the catamaran, and I’m still dreaming about the turquoise water, unforgettable memories, and—most of all—the incredible people we shared it with. Stewart and Reeve weren’t just skilled professionals—they were kind, thoughtful, hilarious, and truly unforgettable.



From morning coffees with a view, to meals that rivaled any five-star restaurant (seriously—every dish was a work of art), to belly laughs under the stars, every single moment was magic. The boat was beautiful and comfortable, but it was the people who made this trip so special. We came away not just relaxed and recharged, but feeling like better humans for having spent time with such extraordinary souls.



If you’re lucky enough to book this experience—DO IT. You’ll make memories that stay with you forever.

Crew Were Unbelievable.

These two were unbelievable…. They knew exactly what to do and kept us busy!! They were extremely nice and we all felt like friends. 

Captain Stewart knew what he was doing and was a very funny guy. 

Also, Chef Reeve made the best food I have ever had. The food was truly amazing. Overall great experience and I wouldn’t change anything about this crew.

Chris G

I Couldn't Recommend The Crew Enough

I’ve never been on a trip where the crew has truly made an unforgettable experience. 

Stewart and Reeve are the most amazing people. 

Stewart radiates of positive energy and is full of funny jokes while Reeve is one of the sweetest girls who instantly became my friend. 

Captain Stewart taught us how to sail while Reeve made the most delicious food (ask for the Caribbean chicken salad!!). 

I couldn’t recommend this crew enough.



Paige M.

Spectacular Vacation!

Reeve & Stewart are a fantastic crew- whatever we wanted or needed , they were right there. The food was 5 star!! It was thoughtfully planned & artistically presented. 

And the Ether was fully outfitted for luxury & fun.

Expect a spectacular vacation!!

I Can't Give Enough Praise To This Crew

This was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had. 

Stewart and Reeve were absolutely amazing. Very patient with all our shenanigans. 

The food was some of the very best I’ve ever had, Reeve is an absolutely amazing chef the presentation and the quality was amazing and delicious.(she even had her own herb garden she used in the meals) 

I can’t give enough praise for these two truly the best experience ever!

The Best Kind Of Humans!

We are a family of three and this being our first sailing charter with a two person crew, we did not quite know what to expect. The boat was lovely, well appointed, and comfortable. 



The real stars of our vacation were Captain Stewart and First mate/chef Reeve. These two are the best kind of humans! Generous with their upbeat energy and humor. 



Whether sailing, snorkeling, or sitting around playing board games, we had the absolute best time with them. Frankly, we don’t know if we will be able to enjoy future vacations without them. I could gush on and on about how wonderful they are.



Cherry on top, Reeve is an exceptional chef, she made the most wonderful meals! We only ate one meal off the boat and I definitely preferred her cooking.

Reeve and Stewart were amazing! Our first time sailing with them (of many years sailing in the Virgin Islands) and they made sure we had a fantastic time. Reeve cooks a fantastic meal and Stewart pours a mean painkiller - we are heading home very well looked-after. Lots of sailing fun, diving competitions, and some mean card and board game playing at anchor. 10/10 and hope to sail with you both again next year!

Were Both Amazing

Good was great, boat was great, Stewart and Reeve were both amazing and brilliant company to have for a week. 

Lots of snacks offered on board if someone got hungry between meals and we had lots of opportunities to explore in the ocean and on land, if we wanted.

Marin

Great Company

The crew was very helpful and funny and great company. The food was wonderful as well. Thank you to Stewart and Reeve!!!

Isla H.

Fantastic!

Our week exploring the USVI and BVI aboard *Ether* was fantastic, thanks to the skill and hospitality of Stewart and Reeve. The boat is beautiful and comfortable, but what made the trip truly special was their thoughtful approach and seamless execution.



Every aspect of the trip was customized to our preferences, from the itinerary to the excellent meals. Stewart and Reeve have a calm, confident way about them that made everything feel effortless. We know that sailing and hospitality come with their challenges, but if there were any, we never noticed—they handled everything smoothly.



Beyond the great experiences they created for us, Stewart and Reeve were simply great company. Spending a week in close quarters with them was easy and enjoyable, and we’d happily sail with them again. If you're looking for a charter, *Ether* with Stewart and Reeve is a great choice.
