Nauti Nickel

“To the best Captain and crew in all of BVI,

Thank you for giving us the most memorable trip we could have hoped for. No superlatives could do justice to the food, service, attention and accommodations.

You gave Darys the best snorkeling. Gave Kevin every drink he could have imagined. Gave me another perfect birthday celebration.

We all will have amazing memories to keep. The different islands, beaches, lemurs and kangaroos on Branson’s island. There’s so much more. Thank you from all of us!”

“Loved every minute!

An amazing crew. The best chef. Perfect locations. Super beds! Awesome service. Loved the water toys, we are e-foil hooked! Supercool tender. Did I mention the food?

Thanks for an unforgettable vacation.”

— The Ter Linde Family & The Zulman Family

“Thank you crew, this was a great trip. These memories will stick with us forever. The things we did this trip were once in a lifetime. THANK YOU!”

— Makenna 

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…

All our love,
Gina, Matt, Cami, Luke, Clare, Laine & Margaret

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

Thank you!

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.

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

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!
Cheers,
Mary & Mike

Thank you for the most spectacular experience! Truly exceptional and out of this world — you are all unforgettable! We love the Nauti Crew. XO
Thanks again!
Bernadica & Jonathon

What an incredible week with an amazing crew! Exceptional. Thank you so much!! What a trip! The crew is incredible. The meals were outstanding. The little touches were thoughtful.
Mel & Amber

After a Nauti week with us on a spectacular yacht, with an admiral chef, super captain, and what a crew, so good lookin’ The best cocktails, fine wine, and outstanding food every day and night together so happy, and if a hangover, a med mix to take away the crappyhead.

A family vacation Nauti Nickel number one!

THANK YOU to all, and everything you’ve done!!




 

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,
Dave & Kristen

 

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!
Curtis & Sheri

Thank you for an amazing week!
What a special experience on the Nauti
The crew was incredible
And we had a blast!

Love you both (heart)

Thank you for an amazing trip — Fab Food & Scenery
We so appreciate how much the team hustled and wanted everyone to be happy. Sensational experiences across the board & we thank you!

Thank You Jennifer a most memorable and special trip. We appreciate all of your hard work and efforts on everything. Wishing you wonderful things always!
 

“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

Thank you for such an amazing vacation! You helped me face my fears while having fun. This was truly an enriching experience. I wish you the best of luck for your great adventure.
– Julia

It was an amazing and wonderful trip. Everything was amazing and the food was delicious. This trip was one of the best. Thanks for everything.
– Natalia

Dear Michael & Jennifer –

Cruising with you has been a wonderful experience. You are great hosts. All the details Jen did to the food was delicious and the activities were lots of fun.

Mike, thank you for teaching me the basics of skin diving. We wish you wonderful adventures and great success in your endeavors.
– Warm Regards, Eva & Jose

 

This has been such an amazing trip—from the food, to snorkeling, to all the stories—it has just added to my first Caribbean experience. It will be hard to compare anything else.
– Sarah

Mike + Jenn, thank you for such an amazing time on Catsy. The food was outstanding and the stories were great too. We will have to come down again someday.
– Trey

Mike and Jenn-Jenn,

I don’t know where to begin! This has been such an amazing experience and I am so glad you two were a part of it! Thank you Mike for making sure we had a safe ride and thank you Jenn-Jenn for the extremely tasty food!!
– Noele

Mike and Jenn-Jenn – What an amazing trip this has been. Forever memories made in the BVI!

Jenn-Jenn – food absolutely amazing! I ate things I would have never tried on my own. Delicious!!!

Mike – loved the stories – very entertaining & very informative. Thank you for your explanations of all the fun/cool places we stopped. All the places we stopped at were unbelievable. Beautiful waters, unforgettable vacation—thank you SO very much.

Hope to see you someday. If Vanimal ever comes to Oklahoma, find us!
– Jessica & Brian

Jenn-Jenn & Mike,

What an unforgettable vacation! You’ve spoiled us and ruined us for future vacations. The food, the snorkeling, the hike from HELL @ Bitter End... WOW! Dinghy flinging... who knew?!?

Thank you for everything, especially the special attention to Trey and Noelle.

We hope to see you again soon.
– All the Best, Karen & Ted

 

Dear Jenn + Mike –

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!
– Karen

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.
– Gaeb XOXO & Tony

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,
– Jennifer & Michael & Pam & John

From Canada ~
– Marty & Janis

Thank you for a wonderful experience “in paradise” with two amazing people, doing outstanding things to make everyone HAPPY! Great food, wine, service, & driving! God Bless. Sail safe + Happy
– Pam & John

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
– John

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.
– LOVE YOUR SALTY SAILORS! Kate + Lauren

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

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!
– Marty & Denise

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!
– Mark & Bridget

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!
– Dave & Kara

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!!
– Kit, Jon & Kids

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!
– Lisa, Scott, Sam Setzer & Ben

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

 

Had an awesome time sailing all over BVI. Water toys were lots of fun. My favorite was dinghy flinging. Thomas loved the tub and bubble pools. Terri kept watch on the reach couch (cockpit). Austin loved day 2 when we got to use the subwing. All liked the sail to Anegada. Jenn’s cooking was great. Even the kids tried new things. Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful. Last but not least, Captain Mike kept us all entertained.

P.S. There is only one way off the boat! Jumping from the top deck!
P.S. #2 Snorkeling was great too, especially the shipwreck.
– Austin

– Tim & Terri, Austin, Thomas, & Uncle Garrett

Dear Michael and Jenn,

We love you guys! The trip of a lifetime! We spent 10 days—just the 8 of us—and had a blast. The weather was fantastic (except for one memorable, stormy day). The excursions that Michael entertained us with, the awesome meals that Jenn prepared—every day, every 5 hours! :) The water toys, the Dinghy Slinging/Flinging :), the fishing, the sunset hike, the snorkeling! The Kodak moments—the helicopter ride—I know I’m missing something—the sailing lessons, the Baths and rock climbing was my favorite!

Necker Island tour—the Lemurs and the Parrots (Hello!). I think we are all happily exhausted :) We could never thank you enough for your hospitality and family love.

Best of luck in the future and we will see you guys again!
– Don, Cindy & kids

Your Overall Rating? 9.5 out of 10.
Were Michael and Jenn friendly, professional and accommodating? 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.

Was CATSY comfortable and clean?
Yes, in every way. It is a fantastic boat, and Michael and Jenn go out of their way to keep it that way. They definitely act as if the boat is an extension of themselves.

How was the cuisine?
Great. Jenn goes beyond a reasonable point with the amount of time she spends on preparing meals and the detail she applies to each one.

How was the BVI?
Absolutely fantastic and perfect for a charter like this one. We definitely plan to come back again to visit the places we didn't get to this time.

Any additional comments on your charter?
It was better than I could have expected. The boat and the crew were perfect for our family.

Where to start? This was our first trip to the BVI’s. In total, we had a group of 15, of which 13 were first timers. This was a tandem trip—two yachts working together to accommodate our group. The two veterans in our group gave us a few pointers as to what to look for in regard to yacht selection but didn’t offer a lot in the way of guidance when it comes to selecting a crew. Let me be the first to say, you need both and, wow, did we luck out on both!

Let me start with the CATSY. She’s beautiful! Again, being our first trip, we don’t have a lot to go on but I can say without hesitation that we did not see a more beautiful yacht during our entire trip. She has a one-of-a-kind paint scheme and she’s beautifully appointed throughout. She has all of the water toys anyone could ask for and, with a bit of ingenuity, a unique toy our boys just loved (you’ll have to ask Mike about that one). The CATSY offers a spacious flybridge which is an absolute must-have if you’re scouting yachts. The flybridge allows you to sit up top shaded by the sun while enjoying the sail to your new destination. Down below, she has plenty of room to dine and lounge.

The only negative thing I can say about her is the two forward cabins can be a challenge for a couple to find themselves comfortable overnight. I’m not saying you can’t fit four couples but it would be a bit “snug” for those in the forward cabins. The aft cabins are spacious, well-appointed and offer plenty of storage space. The salon offers top-of-the-line finishes and plenty of space. This yacht is perfect for two couples and can easily accommodate two couples with a couple kids. While we were a group of 8 (2 couples, 4 kids), it was a challenge for the kids in the forward cabins.

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.

I could go on for pages but no one will read that much so I’ll do my very best to scale this back.

The food, oh my gosh the food! Initially, we filled out our itinerary stating that we intended to eat several meals on the islands. After the first meal we realized that this was a huge mistake and changed the itinerary. Jen is an amazing cook and I’m not sure those words do it justice. Just one example—scrambled eggs. We’ve all had them, right? How do you make scrambled eggs any better than the next person? Well, try Jen’s! Ribs... truly amazing. Every dish prepared was excellent—Jen pays attention to every detail and combines flavors to make the perfect gourmet meal. If you’re lucky enough to book these two, I would highly recommend Chef Jen over any meal we ate on one of the islands.

While Jen is preparing amazing meals, cleaning cabins and assisting wherever needed, there’s “Mike the Butler.” Just kidding, but someone has to serve Jen’s cooking. Mike is an amazing captain and he got to know us well when it took all of 4 hours for one of our group to drop an iPhone to the bottom of the ocean. Without hesitation, Mike begins free diving and somehow finds the thing. This was just a precursor to Mike’s incredible ability to entertain. On a side note, we bookended the trip with another free dive for a missing fishing pole... which Mike also found.

As stated above, we had a large group with lots of kids and, every day, Mike found a way to entertain not only the kids but the entire group. And, again as stated above, doing all of this with a calm resolve, humble approach and “can-do” attitude. While being an excellent captain on a 62’ yacht, more impressively, the guy can make some serious drinks! He created concoctions that we had never heard of and they were all amazing. I had the opportunity to spend a few nights out back engaged in casual conversation with Mike and Jen and I can tell you that they are passionate about what they do. They are true entertainers!

If you want a true yacht experience with a five-star chef and a top-notch captain, look no further!
A truly memorable experience!

Thank you both for an amazing week sailing in the Saints! We had the most relaxing week aboard Catsy. We had a great time—riding ATVs on St. Barths Beach and bar hopping were both so much fun. Jenn prepared some of the most delicious meals. Mike poured some tasty cocktails as well. Thanks again for streaming the college games for us. What a treat it was to eat sushi while watching the game! The two of you were great hosts and we appreciate all the work you did to provide us a memorable vacation. Wishing you all the best on your future endeavors.

– Many Thanks! Steve, Barbara, Geno, Marcus, Karen, Paul, Jim, Debbie

Just a note to express our gratitude for an incredible experience that none of us will ever forget. As you get older, you always look back at memorable experiences, and we all agree that our week sailing the BVI with you on the Ad Astra is one of the highlights. We couldn’t have asked for a better fit for our group than the two of you! 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. You provided us with so much to do, yet had patience when we couldn’t decide.
The food and presentation were beyond fabulous, while the cocktails were always there and delicious. The sailing, the Caribbean sun and breeze, the ocean, the scenery, the snorkeling, the beaches and beach bars were everything we dreamed about and more!
Thank you so much for the large part you played in making this trip so memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed getting to know you and sincerely wish you the best as you continue living your dream sailing in the Caribbean and beyond!

– Thinking of You, Steve & Barbara, Jim & Debbie, Paul & Karen, Deno and Richard

Thank you for an amazing family vacation. We have been talking about doing this for years with our boys and this far exceeded expectations—you hit the nail on the head with our requests. The snorkeling was amazing. Jenn, you are a fabulous chef and we are in awe of what you accomplish in that tiny galley. Thank you for teaching us the finer elements of sailing and owning a cat. We can’t thank you enough for one amazing vacation.
– John, Penny, Stephen, Michael, Ashley, Beth, Patty and Tom

Best week ever. We can’t thank you all enough for the incredible food, adventures and laughs! Best of luck to you both in all your own adventures ahead!
– Tucker

Thanks for making our BVI vacation a wonderful adventure. We had amazing food, and plenty of spirits—know I am going home 10 lbs heavier than when we boarded. The anchorages were perfect and a treat to see some 27 yrs later, how time changes a place (The Last Resort). Please share your brussel sprouts, potato au gratin, coconut shrimp, cinnamon roll recipes ☺
– Suzanne

You guys were fantastic. What a wonderful experience. Thanks so much.
– Mike and Lori

I have to say that you all made this the best vacation of my life. The family needed a great bonding experience and this was definitely it. It sucks that we have to head back to reality.

Again, thank you for finding the most perfect sailing catamaran for our charter in the BVI's and USVI's... our week aboard was a dream voyage and vacation! Our experience was exceptional. :)

Our week was fabulous with Michael and Jen Lang aboard Ad Astra.
Food/Meals = were astonishingly delicious. Fresh and wholesome with taste to die for in each meal: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. In fact, Jen's preparation and presentation of our meals rated FIRST CLASS in all categories! We truly looked forward to her each and every meal!
Captain-ship: Michael knew everything about the waters and the yacht. Our sailing was superb in every way and we felt secure and safe!
Yacht comfort was superb. Four bedrooms for the five of us: My husband and I, and our three adult sons shared accommodations. Ample bedrooms with showers and the yacht was in tip-top condition. Clean and so comfortable with our dining area a perfect setting outside. We enjoyed movies as well as the area inside being well suited for family time, games and conversation.
The waters and islands in the BVI's and USVI's are incredible and so wonderful to enjoy.

Summary: We would love to vacation again with Captain Michael and Jennifer Lang – Ad Astra – and we recommend it highly!

What a week! Lots of excitement and wonderful food – some favorites: Eggplant Caviar, Tuna Cakes, all the salads. Thanks for the TLC and snorkeling adventures! Terrific time!
– Joan and Chris

Thanks for a wonderful vacation! The food was fantastic and the boat is beautiful. We will always remember your kindness!
– Brian and Judy (Chaka & Peaches)

Thank you for a wonderful trip! Great snorkeling and food! We will always treasure the memories ☺

Best Captain and chef/mate in the entire BVI. Thank You for a wonderfully amazing week!
– Abby & Rob

The Huddy peeps will forever cherish the memories we made on-board the Ad Astra with Mike and Jenn. The meals were beyond amazing, especially the Greek meal, Beef Wellington, Ahi Tuna cakes, Tiramisu, Chocolate Soufflé, Key Lime Pie, Baklava... well, just everything!!! The diving experiences were fabulous – the Indians, the The Rhone and the more advanced dive at the Invisibles. These were all so cool! We are so thankful to Jenn and Mike for the wonderful hospitality, storytelling, and friendship during our fabulous vacation! We would do it all over again in a skinny minute! We wish many blessings on y’all and hope to see you again soon!
With Love,
– The Huddy Peeps: David and Carey, Knox, Bobby, Lee and Caroline

Oh and Thanks for the sailing lessons, playing with the water toys (Especially the sub-wing) and on-board cocktails ☺

Shortest trip of my life, but jam-packed full of the greatest food ever! Thanks, Mike and Jenn for a fun, delicious, and memorable sail!
– Jim and Penny

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. Having sailed on Ad Astra Feb. 2014 (a capable platform it seemed at that time) it is impossible to fathom the work done to make her the boat she is today. She rivals the newer Lagoon we sailed earlier this year. Final thanks and utmost appreciation for over-the-top assistance in making the trip work for my Dad, Jim.
– Fair winds and following seas always! Todd and Cheryl

Thank you so much for a wonderful and what will be an unforgettable trip on the Ad Astra. We enjoyed a vast array of delicious and wonderfully prepared food and a very accommodating Captain and host that looked after our every need. All the best to the both of you!
– Bob & Miriam

We had a great time on the boat! The chocolate molten cake was AMAZING and so was everything else! The major highlight was tubing. We got a nice taste of the Caribbean with eating raw coconut.
Thanks for a GREAT experience!
– Your salty sailors, Kate + Alyssa

What a fabulous week. We ate & ate & ate... the breakfast, lunches + dinners were delicious. Some favorites included the Home-Made Chips and Guacamole, Molten Chocolate Cakes, Butterfinger Milkshakes (from Mike), Crab Cakes + Sweet Potato Fries. Best of all is that you kept Kate gluten free—Thank you so much!!! We really appreciate all of your careful preparation!
The fish and snorkeling was great. Watersports + reading—all good. But the true highlight, without a doubt, was the Michael Beans show. Not to be missed ;).
Thanks for a great week with fun crew. We really enjoyed it. Don’t forget to visit when you get to the Northeast. Best of luck!
– Love, Cheryl

Thanks to you this discovery of the BVI was fabulous. We all had a wonderful time together on Ad Astra and enjoyed every single gourmet meal, the anticipation of our needs, the water toys, the sailing lessons, the diving & snorkeling and your attention to detail. We wish you all the best and will maybe see you in the future. Thanks again, from Genève, Switzerland!

We enjoyed every minute of our trip! Thanks a lot!

– Annika, Alana, Erika, Tandia, Kent, Piper, Mark and Monica

Thanks for this wonderful family vacation. I am certain that everyone would agree that the week was top notch. Mike’s agility and knowledge about the area and about Ad Astra and how to maneuver just about anything is impressive! Jenn Jenn— you are one amazing chef. I know that we will be talking about your elaborate menus for a long time. Another element that made this trip great was witnessing your love and affection. You make a terrific couple and we wish you much happiness in your future endeavors. Together you can do anything!

— Jo

 

Thank you for a Thanksgiving we will never forget!! Thanks for the adventures, amazing food, teaching us to sail, and for giving us the perfect balance of relaxing in the sun and activity.

Greatest cook I have ever met! Mike and Jennifer are the funniest couple I’ve met in a long time.

Our first trip to the BVIs was an amazing adventure. I loved the fact that Mike and Jennifer were so accommodating and easy going. We had an ambitious plan with lots of activities and Mike and Jenn smiled and met our every need. The sites were beautiful. The snorkeling was outrageous and at the end of the day the meals were fantastic. Thanks for creating family memories and for being part of a trip that we will cherish for years to come.

We have traveled with many leaders, but have never experienced with such dedicated and capable leaders. A Wonderful Trip! -Miriam and Ben Thank you for a beautiful tour of the BVIs. Some of my personal highlights: snorkeling at Cockroach Island, handing out at Sandy Cay. View from Hog’s Heaven, Sailing from Anegada to Jost, and for culture, the dominoes game in some random bar at Cruz Bay. Great Meals! Gorgeous waters! Something for Everyone! -Tamara

Thank you so very much for guiding us thru our 1st visit to the BVI's. We will remember each and every moment! You far exceeded any expectations we may have had and them much much more! 
We all appreciated your efforts in taking us to places that we didn't ever know we wanted to see-so many laughs (mostly due to Jan and I being 'so funny." Both of you were so professional and make everything seamless-always calm! We will always remember this adventure! Keep on smiling and living such an adventure everyday together! You are welcome to our home in Canada anytime. 
Thank you, thank you, thank you! -Jo and Rick (Jason, Janis, George & Marsha too!) 
 

I just wanted to take a few minutes to review our experience on our recent trip on "Crazy Horse". As I mentioned, the Catamaran was in good shape for the age and the crew was exceptional in every way. Michael and Jenn made our trip an extremely memorable one. We have been on a lot of great trips over the years, but all 4 kids said it was the best one we have ever done. Lisa and I agree!! Both Michael and Jenn were very accommodating, attentive and pleasant to be around for the entire week. They sort of became part of our family. Jenn's cooking was unbelievable; each meal was perfect and exactly what we wanted. It was a wonderful surprise to have that kind of cooking and food presentation each day and at every meal. Along with the food, both Jenn and Michael made sure we had any kind of drink we wanted, along with a few of their special drinks each night. As for Michael, he did a great job of moving us around the BVI's. We were able to stick with our itinerary and got to see a lot of great places we had not been to before. He also became a tour guide and family photographer throughout the trip. Our family really appreciated all the photos taken and given to us in a slideshow at the end of our trip. It was a nice touch. They both seem to love what the do and are very passionate about it. So, if I had to rate them, I would give both of them an A+ for how they took care of us and made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. When we decide to come back and sail again, we will definitely search for them and try to join them for another great memory. -George
