Welcome to Nauti Nickel — A Sanctuary on the Sea
Nauti Nickel, a 2022 Sunreef 80 Power Catamaran, offers a rare blend of barefoot luxury and curated adventure in the Caribbean. At 80 feet long with a 40-foot beam, she redefines charter living with expansive decks, bespoke interiors, and a toy collection designed for every mood. Guests are welcomed into a floating five-star villa where Michelin-level service from a dedicated crew of five ensures every moment feels personalized, polished, and unforgettable. From sunrise serenity to sunset celebrations, the yacht flows seamlessly between relaxation and adventure.
The crown jewel of Nauti Nickel is her flybridge skylounge, an elevated retreat with panoramic views, a jacuzzi, cocktail bar, BBQ grill, and plush lounges perfect for stargazing or social gatherings. Inside, the salon evokes the comfort of a luxury villa with urban-chic styling, premium Miele appliances, and climate-controlled elegance. Dining is an experience in itself, with vibrant breakfasts, beachside lunches, and candlelit dinners presented as artful, flavorful creations that fuel both body and spirit. Every detail — from tableware to presentation — reflects a commitment to excellence and joy.
Adding unmatched freedom, Nauti Nickel is paired with Ronin, a 40-foot Rafnar chase boat boasting 1200HP. This tender allows guests to reach distant islands in minutes, enjoy VIP excursions, or arrive in style at secluded beaches and world-class restaurants. Combined with a fully stocked toy garage and a crew dedicated to crafting once-in-a-lifetime experiences, Nauti Nickel transforms every charter into a dream journey. Whether exploring the British Virgin Islands or savoring St. Barths, this is not just a vacation — it’s the standard by which all others will be measured.
Michael, originally from California, serves as both Captain and onboard Engineer. His calm command of the vessel and deep systems knowledge bring safety and confidence to every journey. But more than that, his joy in working side-by-side with Jennifer creates a seamless experience for guests—one where every detail feels thoughtful and perfectly orchestrated.
Jennifer, a Le Cordon Bleu–trained chef with French roots and global influences, delights guests with meals that are vibrant, elevated, and full of soul. Her career began in Portland’s fine dining scene, and her menus now reflect a love for local Caribbean flavors with upscale finesse. A natural hostess, Jennifer blends refined service with heartfelt warmth—making every guest feel like family.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Kelanie is the soul of Caribbean adventure. With eight years in the boating industry and a background in marine mechanics, she brings a deep knowledge of the sea—and the vessel—to every charter. Guests love her energy and expertise, whether she’s leading snorkeling excursions, handling the tender for a beach picnic, or sharing her favorite hidden coves. From surfing to spearfishing, Kelanie’s island spirit infuses the entire experience with authenticity and excitement.

We had the most amazing and memorable trip ever — our favorite by far!!
We bonded as a family and can now call the crew family. The Nauti crew goes above and beyond to make every day spectacular — from the gourmet food (thank you Jen), to the excursions (thank you Cap), to the attention to detail and loving care (thank you Rose), to the fun, jokes & laughs (thank you Travis), to the safe, fun rides on Ronin (thank you Kel).
We love you guys and will miss you like crazy!! Until next time…

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!
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.
“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

Dear Mike & Jen, and Kelani and Seth and Camila –
What a wonderful experience to live our Nauti Nickel week with you. Clearly we had a home in the water with more pampering magic than what we give ourselves. Thank you – for the time, the food (WOW!) and the very personable experience.
Feliz de haber compartido esta semana con un grupo tan ameno.
GRACIAS – Josefina

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.

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

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!
