Guest Testimonials

Best Family Vacation Ever

My family and my brother's family were lucky enough to spend a week in December 2025 on the Nauti Nickel. The Yacht was beyond phenomenal. It was equipped with everything we could have needed but more important the staff couldn't have been any better. They were so warm, fun and accommodating. We went on snorkeling adventures, visited islands within the BVI, ate incredible meals, became pirates for a night and got to experience plenty of water time and downtime to recharge and laugh together. Not only did the Nauti Nickel have one tender to take us ashore but two including the Ronin which is a military style tender that brought us to shore many days in comfort that no other tender could have provided including indoor space and air conditioning.

We will cherish this trip of a lifetime forever and dream of the delicious breakfasts, coffee and meals we enjoyed daily not to mention the pleasure of going home with clean laundry and a staff that made us feel like we were royalty!

Christmas 2025 - Once in a lifetime family Vacation

Our family of 10 spent one week in the BVI on the Nauti Nickel and had the most wonderful time. The boat is absolutely beautiful with ample space for all with our favorite spot being the flybridge with a full bar and jacuzzi. We had so much fun with all of the water toys and snorkeling opportunities. The Ronin tender boat made island excursions so easy. Cabins were beautiful with extremely comfortable beds and showers.

The crew of the Nauti Nickel was fully committed to making sure that this was the once in a lifetime family vacation that we were hoping for. As captain, Michael was always available and presented us with a variety of potential plans for each day that met our interests.
The meals were absolutely spectacular and Jen as chef took into account all of our dietary interests and restrictions. Some of our favorites included the brisket eggs benedict, lemon/blueberry pancakes, tuna poke bowl, homemade pasta, and lemon tiramisu. Rose prepared the most beautiful tables for each meal. Travis was always up for the next water toy request or island tour, and Kelani was game for navigating the Ronin to our next island spot. Each of them were consistently making sure that our coffee mugs were full in the morning and our cocktail glasses were full in the evenings.

June 2025 Charter Saint Marten/Anguilla/Saint Barts

“Don’t ask to be blessed, ask to be a blessing.”

The crew on the Nauti Nickel is a blessing. We needed a reprieve from hectic life & definitely received that—
with amazing food, fun, & direction on what our next ‘right’ thing to do would be.
Each day was packed with fun & adventure—
we didn’t have to sit long or think much. Snorkeling, e-foils, hikes, & more exploring—
Our needs were always met with a smile & the crew was fun to be with.

Thank you for being a memory maker—
We will always remember this!!

— XOXO, Janlee, Nix & the rest of the crew

Charter Broker Feedback: Post Charter Review

5 out of 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.
~John

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!

Pam & John

Thank you so much for everything!
We had an amazing time, and couldn’t have asked for a better crew!

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,

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!

~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.”

It’s hard to express my gratitude for all that you did to make this week so special for me and my family. We all had such fun and created memories that will last a lifetime. I can go on and on about the exceptional food, facilities, excursions, hospitality, etc., but what is most memorable and significant is the love you put into everything and the determination to make this experience unique and meaningful.

Your professionalism, teamwork, and attention to detail made every moment so special.

We are so blessed to experience this week with you all. We can’t wait to come back soon and tell all our friends

— visit us in NYC! We’d love to reciprocate.

With enormous gratitude

As Andrew said many times during our week on Catsy, this has been a “life-changing” experience (Fortunately he now remembers most of it again!! Even the “dinghy flinging”).

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!

You were both phenomenal hosts, great with the boys, totally spoiled us with Jenn’s gourmet meals, and made it a trip to remember!!

Please keep in touch and remember us!! (Bob & Karen and our boys Jack, Chris & Bo and their friends Carter, Andrew and JP).

If you are ever in New Orleans, I have a FREE place for you to stay at my parents’. And if you are ever in MS, you stay with us!!

Thanks again for everything!! You could not have been any better of a captain/chef and we really did appreciate all you did—and putting up with 6 messy boys!

What an amazing week we have had! Firstly, the boat is beautiful and so well looked after by both of you. It is obvious you have a lot of pride in your work and keep it so well maintained, as if it is your own.

Food... the food has been as if not better than the best restaurants I have been to. You have been so good and accommodating to all of us.

Mike, thank you for all your hard work and patience and the amazing dives, snorkel tours, and bar ventures. Well done and thank you to a beautiful couple.

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you both.

Dear Jenn and Mike,

Darren and I both lead very busy working lives, so to be able to relax together where everything was done for us was the best gift we could possibly ask for.

It’s hard to imagine in advance what the experience might be, but whatever we thought—it has surpassed our expectations.

You couldn’t have done any more for us. The flexibility you gave us, the freedom to do as we choose, and the patience you showed in allowing Darren and Tony to participate was incredibly generous.

And lastly... Jenn, the food was consistently the quality of a five-star restaurant (with Mike’s excellent sommelier choices).

Thank you both so much,
– Fiona and Darren

The greatest Chef & Captain! Boat & amenities terrific. Only thing that could be better was the length of our time together. Came with two of our great friends and leaving with two more great friends. Love you both,

Review Provided to Broker:

4 Lovely guests, very experienced charterers (7 yrs, multiple times some years, mostly large motor yachts). They wanted to try a catamaran after seeing so many over the years from the motor yachts they were chartering.

Our trip was excellent. Jennifer and Michael are a wonderful team that provide a world-class chef and an extremely capable and professional Captain. The boat is very well maintained and all systems were working during our trip.

Catsy has a wonderful layout and the team makes all feel at home, increasing the enjoyment of the boat. Jennifer’s cooking is excellent at every meal, outstanding presentations, such creative dishes, and the quantity and quality provide more than enough for all to enjoy.

Mike is always eager to do anything to make the trip enjoyable: snorkel, boat, tender, move the vessel anywhere—just an excellent Captain to meet the needs and wants of his guests.

Also, the provisions were perfect—they obtained wines we asked for and all meals watched diet restrictions perfectly which took away any concerns.

Would be happy to recommend this team and boat to anyone that wants to enjoy first-class sailing.

Your service was great and recommendation—well, read above. Please feel free to share these comments with others and Jennifer and Mike, as we are very happy customers.

Thank You,
God Bless

Miguel-Miguel and Jenn-Jenn,

Once again you did it! I had so much fun snorkeling, tubing, sub winging, and eating WAY TOO MUCH. Everything was amazing as usual, especially all the food. Thank you so much for involving me with recipes and ingredients in cooking this week. I really appreciate it. You guys are amazing and find some way to make everything fun (even peeling onions to help with dinner)!

Thanks again for a great week of sailing and fun in the BVI.

Dear Jenn-Jenn & Mike,

So glad we were able to come back and repeat our 2015 visit. It was even better this time! A little slice of paradise!

Thank you for sharing your islands with us—especially the deserted island with a late-night bonfire. :)

We are all going home a few pounds heavier, but every calorie was worth it! Holy delicious cooking & baking Jenn-Jenn. You are the best gluten-free chef on the planet. Thank you for keeping Kate GF all week—it is priceless to us—and thank you for modifying meals for Thomas too. :)

We had fun tubing, hiking, and dinghy dropping! Thanks for all the stories and laughs! Best of luck in all of your adventures!
– Love, Brad & Cheryl, Garrett, Thomas, Kate & Lauren

Feedback provided to broker:

We had a great trip. Mike and Jennifer were unbelievable.

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.

I would recommend Mike and Jennifer at the highest possible levels on all elements.

What a great week we had with the two of you aboard Catsy! From the food, to drinks, sailing, snorkeling, hiking, costume parties, Michael Bean’s variety show—the list goes on...

Mike, thank you for being our adventure guide this week. Your knowledge of the islands and Catsy made us feel right at home.

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!

Come visit us in MD, you are always welcome!

Mike and Jenn,

What can we say?! This was definitely a trip of a lifetime. Both of you were our favorite hosts and beyond awesome. We definitely made some interesting memories (Oh, BOB!!) for life. Thank you!
– Sandy & Bob

You guys rock! Thanks so much for a fabulous week!

Epic journey made even more special by old friends and new. Thanks for helping us make memories that will last a lifetime. Safe sailing and travels!

Thank you so much for an amazing week! We so appreciate your attention to everyone’s needs. From the snorkeling to sailing, it was all incredible. I couldn’t possibly list all the things you both did to make our family’s time here happier!

You looked after Zac, letting him get involved with the sailing. You even got him to eat mayonnaise.

We loved the water toys, the snorkeling and subwinging. All the wonderful spots you found—even the unplanned Marina Cay stop was delightful, with that great trip around the island (Thank Taxi George for us!)... and the fireworks on New Year’s.

And the food, and the food, and the awesome food! Jenn, your talent with balancing flavor and fresh delicious ingredients is really special. Thank you!!

Dearest Jenn & Mike,

Our family had no idea what to expect for our sail adventures on our boat traveling in the BVI’s. To our surprise, adjusting to island life was far easier than we expected. Jenn and Mike made our adventure fun, relaxing, and full of culinary delights! Our son and his friend had a trip of a lifetime! We will soon be returning for another sail!

Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful time. I was very impressed with Jenn’s cooking and I am carrying an extra few pounds home with me. Worth every bite! Thank you Michael and Jenn for the experience. It was my first sailing experience, but I’m sure it won’t be my last.
– Claudia

Thank you for the wonderful trip. This was the perfect ending to our escape to paradise. The “Catsy” is the premier yacht on the water and Michael and Jenn are the perfect hosts. We felt like family & will be friends for life. If you make it to Memphis please look us up.
– Lynn & Kevin
