Captain Nico

Tacht Master Offshore 200t
PADI Divemaster

Born and raised in Langebaan, South Africa, Nicholas grew up with the ocean as his constant companion. By age five he was already fishing, and by eight he was confidently piloting powerboats along the Cape coastline. This early foundation ignited a lifelong passion for the sea and laid the groundwork for a professional career as a charter captain. Today, Nicholas combines years of maritime experience with a natural enthusiasm for sharing the ocean with others.

Nicholas brings a well-rounded skill set to his role on board. He is a certified Divemaster and accomplished sailor with extensive experience in sport fishing, seamanship, and guest operations. His resume reflects a strong background in both hands-on technical work and guest services, making him equally adept at leading snorkeling adventures, navigating challenging waters, or ensuring every detail of the guest experience is handled with professionalism. His approach balances safety and skill with warmth and approachability, which makes him a standout choice for charter operations.

Known for his humble nature and positive outlook, Nicholas creates an environment where guests feel at ease and fully immersed in the charter experience. Brokers can confidently present him as a captain who not only delivers seamless operations but also cultivates the kind of atmosphere that turns great trips into lasting memories. For Nicholas, the ocean is not just his workplace—it’s his life’s passion, and he takes pride in ensuring that every charter reflects that dedication.

Chef Vaughn

Mixologist
Cigars, Tea, and Chocolate

Born and raised in South Africa, Vaughn found his passion for the kitchen early in life, beginning his career in Cape Town’s fine dining scene before expanding into guesthouses, private estates, and luxury yachts. Over the past 15 years, he has honed a style that blends precision with creativity, always elevating simple, quality ingredients into thoughtful, memorable meals tailored to his guests.

Vaughn’s experience spans a wide range of hospitality environments. From preparing elegant breakfasts in boutique guesthouses to serving as a private butler/chef in exclusive estates, he understands the importance of detail, presentation, and service. On board yachts, he brings the same professionalism and warmth, creating customized menus that reflect both destination and guest preference. His foundation in food hygiene, mixology, and formal service further supports his ability to deliver a seamless, elevated charter dining experience.

Beyond the galley, Vaughn offers a unique advantage: he is also a trained deckhand and AV/IT specialist. Whether assisting on deck, maintaining onboard technical systems, or supporting guest entertainment, he thrives in the dynamic rhythm of yacht life. With his adaptability, technical skills, and warm hosting style, Vaughn ensures every charter is not only well-fed but also flawlessly run, making him an invaluable asset to any program.

Client Feedback

We had the best time on our sailing trip! Being with family was amazing but our captain Nicolas and chef Vaughn made everything even more special. We would only do a charter with them again!

Best crew ever

I have read a lot of the other reviews and there is nothing to add to them, it is simply a beautiful place in the BVIs. It’s magical and breathtaking and you must go on your own catamaran! What set this trip apart for us were our Captain (Nico) and Chef (Vaughn). They made the trip for us. I’m sure the scenery and experience are the same on most boats but you cannot replicate the feeling of spending the week with crew that become more like best friends. They made sure that we had the time of our lives on the Hazel Della and I cannot say enough about how magical they made this trip for me! As I told Nico when I gave them their tip, if I had brought double, I would have given that to them! They are spectacular and this yacht company is lucky to have these two men together on this boat. My only advice, only go if you want to relax and have a great time! These are the two that are made for that! It seems truly inadequate but thank you for the time of my life!

The Best Trip of Our Lives

We always knew the sights & sounds of the British Virgin Islands would live up to its reputation as the “sailing capital of the world”. What we didn’t realize was how having the right crew could make it a truly memorable experience. Our Captain( Nicholas) and Chef/1st Mate(Vaughn) proved to be exceptional at what they do. From their sailing, culinary & itinerary skills; every task onboard was done with the same goal in mind…guest satisfaction. Our charter onboard the well appointed Hazel Della will forever be a cherished memory. To our South African friends aboard the Hazel Della…Baie dankie vir ‘n werk goed gedoen!

A charter dream come true!

You will pinch yourself each day with astounding beauty in every direction no matter what time of day or where the wind takes you! Captain Nicholas and Chef Vaughn bring passion, creativity, and fun surprises each day by listening carefully to what you want and like; guaranteeing to exceed your expectations! They know all the right places and the best times to be there to maximize your experiences. Then they will spoil you on board the luxurious Hazel Della with personalized service, kindness, and delectable treats based on your palate! They truly are kind, dedicated, and fun-insuring moments on board are as relaxing and enjoyable as the adventures they love to share! Thank you to a perfect team!!

Breathtaking Sailing Adventure led by a knowledgeable, passionate, creative, and hoppy to please Captain and Chef!!

We finally realized our dream of cruising the BVI. Our crew of Captain Nicholas and First Mate/Chef Vaughn made the week aboard Hazel Della incredible. Snorkeling at The Caves, The Indians and Diamond Reef were beautiful. Every morning the captain took us to a new island with new adventures. He surprised us with a few hidden gems, but I’m sworn to secrecy.

Chef Vaughn made every meal memorable, serving many of our favorites and a few specialties. His afternoon Charcuterie boards were fantastic. He managed our dietary requirements quite well.

Captain always accompanied us ashore to guide us to the best locations and scheduled all our reservations for dinners and taxis.

We’re already looking forward to our next cruise.

Great First Time Cruising

We just returned from a trip of a lifetime on the Hazel Della with Captain Nicholas and Chef D. To say it was amazing from the beginning to the end is an under statement. Captain Nicholas always made us feel safe and no request was too small or too big for him. I have no idea how Chef D created the delicious meals that she did in such a small space, but she truly has a gift. Both of them made us feel at home. The boat was beautiful and we would definitely sail on it again. I also want to give a shout out to Jared Hunsinger for all his help in putting this trip together.

Trip of a Lifetime - Hazel Della

Wonderful time sailing the Exumas on the Hazel Della!

My wife and I spent 10 days sailing the Exumas and it was great. The boat was new and immaculately maintained, the crew was amazing, every meal was gourmet. Wonderful trip!

Amazing trip in the Hazel Della

My husband and I just returned from the most incredible yachting trip to the Bahamas aboard the Hazel Della, and let me tell you—this was not your average getaway. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to be utterly pampered while floating in paradise, look no further.

First off, Captain Graham navigated the seas with such confidence and skill. His deep knowledge of the islands paired with his easygoing personality made every stop feel like a perfectly curated adventure.

And then there’s Sulet, the chef extraordinaire. I’m convinced she’s a magician because every meal she prepared was nothing short of phenomenal. From fresh seafood to decadent desserts, each dish was a masterpiece, leaving us marveling at how it was even possible to create such culinary magic in a yacht kitchen.

The trip was the perfect mix of relaxation and fun. One moment we’d be lounging on deck, sipping cocktails and pretending to be in a travel magazine, and the next we’d be snorkeling, exploring secluded beaches, or laughing with Graham and Sulet over dinner. They struck a flawless balance between being friendly and knowing when to give us space, which made our time onboard even more enjoyable.

And let’s talk about the vibe: think luxury without the pretension, like being spoiled by friends who just happen to be really, really good at hosting (and captaining and cooking).

If you’re considering booking a trip on Hazel Della, just do it. Trust me, you’ll come back with full hearts, happy taste buds, and a newfound respect for the art of living well. Graham and Sulet, thank you for the memories, the laughs, and for temporarily spoiling us so much that doing the dishes at home now feels like a personal insult.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the stars!

Review: A Dreamy Escape Aboard Hazel Della

We chartered the Hazel Della for a 6-night trip through the Exumas, and it was—without exaggeration—the greatest vacation we’ve ever had. Graham and Sulet are nothing short of exceptional. The itinerary was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation—we snorkeled, hiked, explored every hidden gem, and still had time to nap or eat Doritos on deck.

As a self-proclaimed foodie who’s notoriously hard to impress, I can honestly say the food was spectacular. Every meal was thoughtful, fresh, and delicious. Graham even took the time to teach me how to sail, which turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip.

We came aboard expecting a great trip, but we left with something more: a new perspective on life and two new friends. Graham and Sulet made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. If you’re lucky enough to find availability on the Hazel Della, book it—you won’t regret it.

Hazel Della - Graham and Sulet

Wow! Our week with Capt. Graham and Chef Sulet exceeded all of our expectations. The Hazel Della catamaran was so very comfortable, accommodating and clean. But what really made it special was the crew! They couldn’t do enough for us! This amazing team works so well together to make us feel special and pampered. Safety was a priority, along with expert navigational skills and knowledge of all the “secret spots”. Every single meal was exquisite, carefully plated and elegant. Not to mention the desserts, everything made from scratch.
There was never a dull moment as we were transported each day to breathtaking coves, beaches and safe harbors. Daily snorkeling was lovely and our scuba dives were filled with abundant sea life, including turtles, lobsters, rays, beautiful corals and reef fish. We also enjoyed fishing, paddling kayaks and paddle boards, and exploring special cays. There was plenty of time to soak in the peace of sailing, read a book and p

Fabulous!
