Words cannot describe what a truly amazing vacation aboard Aquanimity with Gino and Nikita we had!
It was by far the best vacation ever! they welcomed us and made us feel so at home and like we were family!
All of the cool and stunning places they took us as well as the recommendations. They both made the trip unforgettable from Uno and Clue games, conversation, jumping off the boat and dinghy rides and best snorkeling ever!
Nikita is a top chef!! All the food was delicious!
Our daughter loved spending time with them as well.
We cannot thank them enough!!

My family - 3 adult sons, my lovely bride, and her Mom - sailed on the 48 ft Catamaran Aquanimity for a week over the Christmas 2024 holiday. In short, what a blast!
I want to start this off by saying that our crew, Gino and Nikita, are truly amazing people. We had plenty of great laughs, they know so much about the BVI, and we all had so much fun throughout the course of the week together. They are so great!
The two of them work seamlessly together and work to fit your preferences.
It’s as smooth an operation as you could find in any industry.
The three meals a day on the boat were truly spectacular - insane plating and cooked perfectly, cooked to your dietary preferences. Highlights included a mahi mahi over couscous, salmon and mashed potatoes, great steak, and pork egg rolls and crab cakes. It’s remarkable how Nikita can cook 5 star meals in a boat kitchen.
They work with you to sort your itinerary for the next day according to your preferences, too, including which islands you would like to go to, what activities you prefer, and when/how long you would like to sail throughout the course of the day.
We followed their itinerary for the most part, and it worked out perfectly. We had ideal conditions at both The Baths and Bubbly Pool, had a blast jumping off the top of Willy T’s and doing shotskis, and had an excellent Christmas dinner at Hendo’s Hideout after cocktails at the Soggy Dollar on Jost van Dyke.
Gino and Nikita know the right locals to show us around the islands, whether it was The Rum Runner or Sweet Ice Willy, too. They know the BVIs like the back of their hand.
The boat itself fitted our family of six comfortably and went without a hitch. Plenty of room in the cabins, cockpit, and around the boat to spend your week. Additionally, the boat comes with snorkeling gear and scooters, a megachill that you won’t get sick of, two paddleboards, and some fun floaties.
Gino, Nikita, and the Aquanimity gave my family a 15/10 Christmas. I cannot speak too highly of the experience. We had so many laughs, great card games, and fun times with the two of them on the boat.
Do yourself a favor and choose them if you’re looking for a similar experience!

Brandon and Alessia were tops.
Forever in our hearts and minds for providing us our most favorite vacation. Our teenaged girls had adventures at every port and bay.
We will do this again - no doubt
Pura Vida!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for such an incredible week on the water. You made sure everything was perfect for us and we loved it all!
We know there are may complexities to managing the boat and meals and you are true professionals! it was so fun to see the NYE drone show at Nekker Island and you set us up perfectly to see it - well done!
We will recommend you to all our friends - you are very talented at what you do, but you are also kind and wonderful people and we really enjoyed spending time with you and getting to know you. You are always welcome to visit us in the Bay Area in California- otherwise we'll come and visit you again on the water!
Love and blessing to you!
