What an amazing trip! Thank you both so so much. You both made our first trip to the Virgin Islands absolutely fantastic!
This was the best trip of my life! We cannot thank you enough for the perfectly planned trip. We will be coming back for sure and cannot wait for future adventures.
We cannot thank you enough for our wonderful week in paradise. We were blown away by the food, the views and the fun activities throughout the week. You both have been so helpful and taught us so much about the Virgin islands. This place and this vacation will always have a special place in our hearts. We would recommend your charter to all of our friends. Cheers to you and this amazing place.
Before this week, I didn't know what vacation meant. You spoiled us all thoroughly. The islands and oceans knowledge so freely given; the neverending incredible food; the peace and the parties. :) We are going home sunkissed, relaxed and full of new information and joy. Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the conservation education was the highlight for me!
Thank you for the most amazing sailing trip! I completely forgot about the daily grind and haven't felt this relaxed in years. I appreciated that you put your heart and soul into the guest experience. We felt pampered and were so happy to get to reconnect with each other and catch up on years passed. Thankyou again for an unforgettable experience
Thank you for everything this week. Your knowledge of the areas we visited, and your dedication to conservation and education are unrivaled. We really appreciated the customer service especially after realizing that we truly were being pampered! The food was outstanding (every meal) and I couldn't be happier to spend the week with you! Also, thank you for the helpful hints; without that I would not have been able to have the snorkel experience I did!
This has been a trip of a lifetime for me. Many firsts. Such amazing sites and having you both guiding us and helping along the way was incredible. Learning about the islands and sea-life was eye opening. I truly appreciate everything you both have done this entire week. The food was absolutely amazing and delicious. Thank you for making this trip unforgettable. I love your passion for this life and all.
Many times in our lives we have felt truly blessed. This was one of those times! Thank you so much for taking care of us. This trip was transformational. We wish you a lifetime of Joy and Happiness. Your kindness, your professionalism, your vibe was top notch!
They say that life is measured not by the breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away. This trip was filled with numerous moments - from the food, to the sights, to the storms, to the snorkels - there were countless! So grateful that I was able to share this place I love so much with my friends and with you both as our guides. Wishing you both all the luck and success in whatever you tackle next.
Perfect Caribbean Experience! We loved every moment of the trip, and we are so appreciative of the care and professionalism of both of you. Thank you so, so much for making our time aboard Big Nauti and the birthday celebration a core memory we'll carry with us for a lifetime!
Amazing, wonderful, memorable! You all made this trip perfect for our family. I don't think I have seen Ryan so relaxed and I was too. Your hard work in planning our meals did not go unnoticed. We certainly appreciate every bit of the care you took to make this trip perfect. Thank you for welcoming our little pirate, Lainey, onboard. Such a fun time having our 8 month old granddaughter on board with us.We will cherish our memories with you always and hopefully, our paths will cross again on another sailing adventure.
Thank you so much for an amazing time. We loved the whole trip from the food, destinations and yacht. We had the best time relaxing and we appreciate your hard work so that we could relax! Hope you have an amazing year.

You guys made a great vacation week absolutely perfect. Thanks for the terrific attention to detail, the food was amazing and we never felt in better hands than we did with heiko.
Thank you does not seem to give justice to the feeling of gratitude we feel for all you did to bring comfort, joy and many memories along this adventure.

Truly one of the best vacations of my life. And so grateful to share with my family. Appreciate You!

Thank you so much for showing my family an awesome trip. To keep it short and sweet, everything on our voyage was perfect and could not have been better. When you are ready to go on a hike in Nepal, let me know and I will set you up.
Thank you for the most AMAZING Trip! We all had the best time. Your food was delicious and cocktails were perfect, strong and just the way we like them. thank you for shifting us around and taking us to the best spots! Truly Amazing! And thank you for letting me have the most relaxing vacation ever - no cooking and no cleaning. We will miss you.
Thank you for such an amazing stay. Our family was continually impressed by you both - you are both some of the most hardworking and talented people we have ever met. We couldn't imagine a trip without you both. We loved sitting with you at dinner - even though it took way too much convincing - hehe.
What can we say?? First class service from the nicest most competent team in the BVI!! What a trip!
You were both such an integral and interwoven part of our trip - we would never have had the amazing experience we did without you! You truly created a magical environment for us to unwind in a way I haven't in years. Thank you for everything you did to make this a truly unforgettable trip for us.

Thank you so much for making this trip an unforgettable experience. This trip would not be the same without both of you. The meals were fantastic, to say the least! The snorkeling was amazing and we really enjoyed the secret spots. Thank again from the bottom of our hearts for everything.
We have had the best time celebrating our 40th anniversary with our family. From the scuba diving, great dining experiences, the late night swims and dancing with the disco lights, the knowledge of sailing and questions asked and answered were the best!! Thank you so much! Truly an unforgettable vacation.
We just want to let you know how much we appreciate everything. From cooking to sailing around the Virgin Islands. Heiko, I had an amazing diving experience with you. We want to wish you all the best in all your future travel plans.
Thank you so much for an experience of a lifetime. You both were great hosts! Rebecca your food was amazing and seasoned perfectly. Heiko was very generous sharing his knowledge of diving with us novices. Hope to sail the seas again soon.
I really appreciate all you did for my family and I. This truly was a trip of a lifetime and I couldn't be more blessed! Thank you for making this week the best adventure ever. I will never forget the memories that were created. I hope one day I can come back to the BVI's. thanks again
A trip of a lifetime that wouldn't have been possible without you! You're both masters of your craft, and cannot thank you enough for giving our family and friends such an amazing island experience! What a way to kick off 2024, we truly hope 2024 is your best year yet. It's well deserved. Thank you a million times over for your hospitality, professionalism and expertise - we couldn't have picked a better crew to share this week with!
This trip exceeded our expectations! Your professional expertise and care shone throughout our week with you. We had the chance as a group to do some great snorkeling, tubing and swimming. Your cocktail mixing was much appreciated - special props - Heiko's painkiller was better than Soggy Dollar's. I especially appreciated the Pina Colada. Rebecca's cuisine was varied and delicious. We decided to eat onboard every night after one dinner off the boat. The poke was delish. We enjoyed the sailing and the chance for our family to be together in such a beautiful place.
A truly unbelievable experience that would not have been possible without Rebecca and Heiko. Their care, attention to detail and thoughtful and generous hospitality made this trip and it's one we'll be talking about and dreaming about for years to come....until next time.
Thank you for a wonderful week.You made what was already going to be a great experience into something truly unforgettable. I couldn't feel more fortunate to have shared this vacation with you both.Your constant thoughtfulness and kindness on top of your expertise in all things sailing, cooking, marine life and more, is exceptional. You are consummate professionals. If you come to nashville, please let us know!
I've done several BVI sailing trips over the years and all have been wonderful. But this trip was, without a doubt the best ever. Aside from the great weather, sailing and beautiful yacht, you two were the difference makers. You kindness, hospitality, generosity, warmth and sense of humour set this experience apart. Looking forward to returning soon
Thank you Heiko and Rebecca for the most magical vacation ever. This vacation made my family and I feel incredibly spoiled - I am so grateful. I absolutely LOVED the nightly laser-pointer rundown of your travels, y'alls cocktail-making-skills and how you anticipated our every need and want.....warm towels after a swim, mid-afternoon charcuterie, cracking open an evening rose. You both were crucial in this incredible memory that I know my family will talk about for a long, long time - THANK YOU
Very professional, yet very approachable....a unique and very appreciated combination. I'm confident that each member of our crew would echo those sentiments. I plan to charter again (and again) in the USVI/BVI and my decision regarding which yacht to hire will be primarily be based on whether you two are available.
Thank you for a wonderful week on this beautiful yacht! You all are exceptional - thank you for making it a triop of a lifetime.
Thank you for your kindness and consideration the entire charter! This was an experience of a lifetime and it wouldn't have happened without you!
Words will never do our trip justice! The trip was absolutely wonderful and your service levels and professionalism were at the top! We are so grateful to have been part of this wonderful journey!
Hospitality is one of the great virtues, but you already knew that, because you excelled at serving us and making us feel welcome for the past 9 days. As our captains, you amazed us with your sailing and navigation skills. We truly enjoyed the many meals that you prepared for us. Your food pleased everyone beyond belief. We felt safe, knowing that the boat was in excellent condition and very clean. We were forever amazed at how you cleaned our rooms without anyone seeing you. It was quite the magical act. Thank you friends! We hope to cross currents with you again soon.
After having experienced many charters across the Caribbean and the Mediterranean we can confidently say that your service was truly outstanding. We highly enjoyed the food, the cocktails and excellent service. We want to thank you Heiko for his devotion in assuring we were always safe meanwhile being in the water. We will cherish this trip forever.

The food was amazing - again thank you for being so accommodating to me. We made so many memories that you both were a part of. You thought of every little detail and are both so talented at what you do. You made us all feel so special and the service was flawless. Hope to do this again with you!

Thank you for being the most amazing hosts, Captain, Chef, guides and bartenders! You have given us the vacation of a lifetime on the Big Nauti - she is amazing too. Much love and appreciation to you
BIG NAUTI is by far the best boat we have been on and this was our 6th catamaran trip to the BVI. We loved the front lounging area without the trampoline, just perfect. The Skydeck was amazing and comfortable. We absolutely loved the boat! Rooms were larger and beds comfortable. Seemed very spacious, we do want to do this again. Everything was in working order, the condition of Big Nauti was wonderful. . The crew prides themselves in keeping the boat clean throughout the week. They cleaned the bedrooms daily, my wife loved this just nothing to do.. Where did you find Walmar and Tamika, both are Excellent. This crew are superb. The service that Tamika and Walmar provided was first class all the way. They were always willing to help and treated us well. Good cocktails were a wow morning noon and night.. Walmar and Tamika were interactive but not overbearing. Walmar and Tamika are highly competent and we felt safe and well taken care of. It was a windy week and Walmar found us coves that were protected, we always had fun and a good nights sleep. Best meals we have had! Great presentation and taste. Tamika worked hard to provide 3 excellent meals/day. It was like a 5 star restaurant. Walmar and Tamika’s meals and service Exceeded our expectations. Very creative and delicious. Our entire group would love to charter with BIG NAUTI ONCE AGAIN SOOOOON.
Thank you both for an absolutely wonderful vacation. Everything was perfect....the stops/shore visits, the food (Tamika you are an exceptional chef), the boat and most especially your hospitality. You've helped us create lasting memories.
Thanks for a great trip! Everything was perfect and you are the best hosts we have ever had. The boat, the food, the companionship were all great! Another awesome chapter in our travel group's history
So many wonderful memories we will take with us. Mostly, the warm and gracious hospitality and your attention to detail. We hope you will call on us if you ever visit North Carolina. it would be a pleasure to have you as our guests. Needless to say the food was fabulous!! Mush joy and happiness to you.
This is our 6th BVI trip and you all set the standard! It was WONDERFUL! We appreciate your skillful boating, 5 star food and drinks, attention to detail, cleanliness and your friendship. Tamika, you are so talented and impressed us at every meal, thank you. Walmar, you kept us safe and provided a great route, thank you. Hopefully, the owners know they have the best crew in the BVI!
Can’t say enough good things about Walmar, Tamika and Big Nauti. Wow. Boat was immaculate and they anticipated our every need. Highly, Highly recommended!

What a beautiful trip! You Walmar and Tamika made every day special. Thank you for all your attention to every detail. We will long remember you and this week. Best of luck and a multitude of blessings in your future together.
This was easily a trip of a lifetime! The boat, crew and islands made each day an adventure and one that we will never forget. It is going to be very tough going back home to the cold and not having every delicious meal prepared for us all. We can't thank you enough! Big Nauti, we will be back!

Couldn't have been this amazing without you guys. You are such a sweet peaceful couple . Your willingness to play with the kids and make them feel special will always stay with us!
This boat was even better than expected. This week was made special by the two of you. Food and sailing was incredible, you made us feel welcome and even as family. I feel as though we have new found distant friends! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for everything. The boat was awesome but mostly because of the Dillion & Amanda! Your amazing food, great personalities, excellent sailing and taking us to beautiful beaches was just fantastic! This was a bucket list trip!
Thank you, Dillion and Amanda, for your fun personalities, great food and smooth sailing. We wish you too the best and plan to see you again!
The happiest memory we all shared was seeing Big Nauti pull onto the dock in St. John. It only got better as the days unfolded. The Big Nauti, Amanda and Dillion have been a beautiful memory- filled with sights of ocean and mountains as Dillon took on his course- filled with delicious delicacies Amanda prepared. We were blessed to have had this joinery together. THANK YOU!
What a great week! The views, food and hospitality were all incredible! You both made this trip even more enjoyable. It will be a voyage I'll never forget!

Thank you so much for a wonderful week on the water! A vacation I will always remember. You are both exceptional humans and phenomenal at what you do. Dillon, thanks for teaching me how to wakeboard (my new favorite hobby). Amanda, thanks for cooking us all the exquisite meals and introducing me to chocolate caramel coffee creamer - I'm addicted :)

AMAZING. Such a great week with great friends, old and new! You both made each day new and fun for us! I'm not sure when you sleep because you were always on from before we woke up until after we went to bed! Best Captain/Crew ever, without a doubt! Hope to see you soon!
One of the best weeks of my life! Captain Dillon and Amanda are gems and made it all possible. Snorkeling, swimming, sunsets, sailing, wakeboarding, cocktail hour - I will remember it all. Dillon, thanks for taking us all over the islands and letting me sail. Amanda, every meal was a pagent - you are a supremely gifted chef - haven't eaten that well in years. It was wonderful getting to know you both and sending time together.
Captain Dillon and Chef Amanda were the most fantastic hosts! Incredibly focused on making sure each member of our family had a great time. Wonderful meals thanks to Amanda. Always positive, engaging and smiling. We had an incredible time Thank you.
Captain Dillon and Chef Amanda truly were the BEST! they made out rrip exceptional and unforgettable. We relaxed, did some sight-seeing, the food was amazing and the experience wa sa special one that's for sure. we love everything about this boat and crew who truly became part of our family. thanks for everything.
Thank you both for an exquisite experience. The food presentation was only out done by the variety of fresh flavors. The details from table settings, to bedrooms and bath set up, to the flowers were on point. Most appreciated are the stories shared, the experiences you created and the memories you will both always be part of. You two crew an awesome catamaran but it would simply be a boat without your skills, talents, humour and the love that oozes from you two towards your guests and boat.
I don't want to leave this fabulous catamaran. What a week - Dillon and Amanda were the best. They made us feel very special and the food was spectacular. The service was even BETTER!! Love them both! Hope to back on this boat ASAP!!
You have made our dream trip exceed BEYOND our dreams - absolutely incredible. We've used all the words in our vocabulary to express our gratitude and awe. We will never never ever forget this experience - you are truly the best crew in the Caribbean!
Thank you so much for providing such a memorable experience on the Big Nauti. Your attention to detail, planning and hospitality are so appreciated. The Big Nauti is a fabulous vessel. The amenities were top notch. Loved the yeti cups and great towels and linens. These things truly set you apart. And the meals!! Exquisite! Such creativity and truly appreciate the healthy menu with flavor to spare. ...'Til we meet again
Thank you so much for an amazing experience! Everything exceeded our expectations. Amanda and Dillon, we are so grateful we had you two as our crew. Amanda your food was absolutely delicious! You both were so accommodating. Dillon, we enjoyed every sailing experience and every stop we made. We will never forget the memories made. Y'all are the best.
What an amazing experience you provided our friends! Thank you for going above and beyond to meet our needs. We look forward to seeing you in the future.
Couldn't be more thankful for Dillon and Amanda! Y'all are the best crew ever and made the experience! Thank you for allowing us to create memories that we will forever cherish. Thankful that y'all knew the perfect spots to take us and the right things to suggest for our crew. Amanda your food and service was amazing and Dillon perfect sailing. Y'all are top notch and the absolute best! Mermaid memories for life.
"Thank You" doesn't begin to cover it! We will always be forever grateful for everything you did to make our week filled with unforgettable memories, laughs and delish food and drinks! And this is just the beginning
Dillon and Amanda, thank you both for not only taking care of our tribe but for treating us as part of your "boat family" We've traveled across the world, but this past week will forever be a highlight of the Frank's family adventures. Here's to hoping this isn't the last time we see you both!
Thank you for the most amazing trip across the US Virgin Islands! You definitely met all our needs! So kind, and you have the gift of service for sure. Amanda, your cooking was unbelievable. you are a great chef. You are also the best first mate dillon could ask for!
A real treat as we had never sailed here. The crew were always ready to serve with a smile and a calm presence! Thank you for the great trip. We will be sure to tell all about "Big Nauti" and its wonderful crew.
What a beautiful cruise in a beautiful yacht and FANTASTIC crew. Amanda and dillon were the perfect crew - helpful and offered history of the USVI's and great at finding the best moorings in St. John to allow us the escape to Paradise. Great meals that were thoughtfully and nuturingly planned - great surprise with a lobster dinner, ceviche and horderves that could have been dinner! Dillon's capable sailing and guide to the Best of the Best in the USVI's
The yacht was brand new and in great shape. The rooms had plenty of space, the beds were comfortable and the A/C was very effective. Byron, Michelle and Scott were very pleasant and spent significant time with us after hours as well as going snorkeling and attending several meals off boat. They kept our drinks full at all times. We had a very good time. Byron was very familiar with all the best overnight spots and kept us in calm ports – which was not easy with three days of 20+ knot winds. Additionally, the crew accommodated us by picking us up in St. Johns which saved us time and money. Michelle is a true chef – the meals were excellent and filling. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all great. She even went above and beyond by making me a delicious 50th birthday cake. Our expectations were exceeded with the quality of the boat and the crew .
