Francois & Katie-

the crew

Captain Francois and Chef Katie
Hailing from South Africa, Francois has been working in the marine industry for a number of years. He first came to the BVI in the wake of hurricanes Irma and Maria to assist with mass yacht salvage and cleanup. Working as a commercial diver he was doing everything from cleaning cruise ship propellors to working alongside ‘Beyond The Reef’ on the epic Willy T and Sharkplano dive projects.
A real water-man, he loves nothing more than kiting, diving or fishing and he can’t wait to welcome his guests onboard!

Chef Katie has been in the industry 9 years, working on yachts in the Med and the Caribbean since 2016. She’s passionate about feeding her guests as much fresh, local produce as possible, supporting local businesses and farms in the BVI, and has forged great relationships with some of the best local suppliers.
Her favourite type of cooking? Fresh, healthy and vibrant dishes whilst saving a little room for dessert.. because everyone knows we don’t count calories on the water.
Alongside her partner, Francois, she cannot wait to welcome guests and show them what the home of ‘nature’s little secrets’ has to offer!

Francois and Katie are joined by Kiwi mate and dive instructor Nikki.

Stewardess/1st Mate Nikki
Raised around the water, a love for the ocean has shaped every part of her life. After working as a corporate consultant for the Big Four firms in New Zealand, Nikki took a break that turned into a lifestyle, swapping the office for the sea.
Over the past two years working in the BVI, Nikki has developed a deep connection to the islands, their reefs, and the incredible marine life that thrives there. Whether you’re a certified diver looking to explore the BVI’s famous wrecks or reefs, taking your first breaths underwater, prefer to snorkel or want to explore the beautiful hikes and sights the islands have to offer, she can tailor an experience to suit you. Having worked as a nanny, swimming teacher, and dive instructor for young teens with Sail Caribbean, Nikki also has plenty of experience with kids of all ages and loves to create a fun and engaging environment for our younger guests. When she’s not trying to coax you into the water, Nikki can be found behind the bar whipping up some cocktails. Her favourite? An Aperol Spritz served on the fly bridge just as the sun dips below the horizon.

Calm, warm, and dedicated to creating memorable experiences, Nikki is excited to welcome guests aboard and showcase the beauty of the BVI—above and below the surface.

Client Feedback
AURA

Thank you so much for making this trip so memorable and special, our last vacation before baby! We had such a nice time relaxing and enjoying each others and your company. We appreciate all the things you did to take care of us, big and small. We truly appreciate your attention to detail and thoughtfulness in making our experience so fulfilling (again!). It’s also been so fun to hang out and I’m so glad we got to play games, fish, foil, have dinner together, and just catch up all together. We’d love to see you guys if you’re ever in DC. Wagner

THANK YOU most importantly for being you. We appreciate your care, professionalism, joy, expertise, positive energy, company, and attentiveness. You make this vacation amazing – and as beautiful and luxe as this boat is. The trip would only be average without you. Well ok more than average! But nowhere near as exceptional. We have made beautiful memories as a family on this trip and will remember baby W’s first sailing trip forever. We hope to join you again for a sailing trip or visit or vacation!! You are welcome in our home anytime. Please stay in touch!! We wish you all amazing lives and futures with miracles and so much happiness! Holton

How do I put into words this experience? Amazing? Incredible? ‘Once in a lifetime?’ All seem too trite. We loved every minute of this journey. It was especially special to me as I am facing a new chapter in my life. Thanks for making this the most incredible trip of my chapter thus far. See you soon.

To the Amazing Aura Team!

We are so incredibly thankful for this unforgettable journey and for the amazing people who made it so special. From the moment we stepped aboard, you gave our family a gift—so many firsts that we’ll always remember: paddleboarding, e-foiling, catching a tarpon, the shot ski, and numerous other little adventures in between that made us laugh and connect.

But what made this trip truly meaningful wasn’t just the new experiences—it was being able to share a powerful last. Jos, your care and presence as my dad fulfilled his wish to dive one final time meant more than words can express. Watching him underwater with my son, guided by you, was like witnessing a beautiful passing of the torch—a moment that will stay with us forever. Your incredible patience while my son wanted to do every activity on board—and your ability to make him fall in love with fishing—was a gift all its own.

To Allie—thanks for making us feel comfortable everyday! You also brought he party with those magical painkillers and other fun cocktails and your impressive tablescapes! Katie… your food! I don’t know how you do it, but everything you made was delicious, comforting, and beautifully prepared. My daughter was talking about your crepes when we got home and everyone has asked me to take a bread class to try to learn how to make bread! I ate so much I’m going to need stretch pants for the foreseeable future—but it was worth every bite.

Jos, Allie, and Katie—thank you for being a part of this journey. You weren’t just the crew; you were part of our family for a little while. And we’re grateful beyond words for the memories we made together.

With all our love and appreciation,
The Dube and Darrell Family
