Boatbookings is proud to spotlight the stunning Sunreef 80, NAUTI NICKEL – the very pinnacle of opulence as she cruises the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

The Boatbookings team had the pleasure of stepping aboard during the 2025 BVI Charter Show in the British Virgin Islands this fall, and their firsthand experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From her impeccable design to her world-class hospitality, NAUTI NICKEL exceeded every expectation.

NAUTI NICKEL showcases a striking contrast of contemporary white marble and sleek black finishes, creating an atmosphere of effortless sophistication. Her five plush cabins welcome up to 10 guests in true VIP comfort.

Among her most coveted features is the private swim platform adjoining the Master Suite -an intimate retreat unlike any other. Whether guests desire a moonlit dip accompanied by a chilled bottle of Veuve Clicquot or a tranquil breakfast in their own secluded oasis, the attentive crew is delighted to curate every detail to perfection.

There is certainly no shortage of space to bask on deck with a cocktail in hand. Whether you prefer lounging in the sunshine with a good book or sharing conversation over one of Rosemary’s signature cocktails, NAUTI NICKEL’s foredeck lounge offers the perfect retreat.

Had your fill of sun for the day? A retractable sun awning provides effortless shade, allowing guests to relax in cool comfort while still enjoying the open-air ambiance.

No destination is beyond reach thanks to the 40-foot Rafnar tender, powered by an impressive 1,200 horsepower. From secluded coves and vibrant beach bars to shallow reefs waiting to be explored, every corner of the coastline is effortlessly accessible aboard the crew’s prized chariot, “Ronin.”

Water sports in the BVI are taken to exhilarating new heights with wakeboarding, waterskiing, and tubing. The exceptional tender delivers the ultimate adventure for thrill-seekers at heart.

Boatbookings’ guide to sustainable luxury yacht charters.

As a large proponent for sustainability, Boatbookings is always looking for greener ways to enjoy luxury yacht charters. With many new developments in water toys, motors, and power supply, you can experience all the wonderful benefits of chartering while remaining environmentally conscious. Take a look at our picks for the top sustainable electric charter yachts!

With electric or solar-powered water toys, you can feel the thrill of water toy adventures while participating in a quieter, emission-free adventure. Water toys like electric jet skis, solar-powered tenders, and electric foiling boards, such as E-Foils, are perfect for exploring the water while protecting sensitive marine environments. Their ability to rely on electricity rather than fuel reduces noise and water pollution, resulting in a fun adventure for you and a happy, healthy environment.

Some luxury crewed catamarans or crewed motor yachts use a hybrid propulsion system, reducing vibrations and making marine wildlife encounters less invasive. This also allows you to truly enjoy the surrounding nature since there is no sound of a loud motor reverberating through the air.

Using renewable energy resources is one of the top ways to have a greener charter. At Boatbookings, we work with many yachts that use renewable resources such as solar or wind power. This allows you to indulge in all the standard comforts, such as AC, while helping preserve the environment so you can continue coming back to your favorite charter destination, year after year.

Boatbookings shares insights into the top dining experiences in the BVI.

The British Virgin Islands promise an exclusive dining scene. From personalized menus on your luxury catamaran or motor yacht to beachside restaurants serving locally caught seafood, every meal is an indulgent experience.

While spending the week island hopping through the BVI, you will be joined by a professionally trained chef, whose goal is to create unforgettable memories at the dinner table for you and your loved ones. A preference sheet will allow you to specify your exact tastes along with any dietary restrictions. Your private chef will then weave every note into a gourmet menu that can be enjoyed al fresco style against the stunning backdrop of Jost Van Dyke.

Dining on board affords a wonderfully intimate experience; however, we also suggest wandering ashore for a taste of local cuisine. Should you choose to try out some of the BVI’s top restaurants, our team at Boatbookings is more than ready to help you find the perfect spot for your excursion. Allow us to coordinate with your crew to arrange reservations, so all you have to do is relax and enjoy your meal. For over 20 years, we have sailed the BVI, stepping onto each island to find the freshest lobster, hottest beach bars, and most seamless service. Each time, we keep coming back to the Cooper Island Beach Club Restaurant and Lobster Trap on Anegada.

On his last visit, Boatbookings team member Daniel visited Cooper Island and tried the Josper Grilled Grass Fed 20oz Ribeye. His feedback was that it is a must-try item! For stunning views of the sunset and the best lobster in the BVI, there’s no better place than Lobster Trap. Enjoy the lobster that was caught earlier that very same day as you take in the evening’s sunset with your feet in the sand.

Professionally trained in fine dining, Chef Lida brings years of hospitality experience to the Virgin Islands. She will create gourmet dishes infused with island-inspired flavors and locally sourced ingredients. One of the best parts about dining on a BVI charter yacht is the ability to customize your menu. Lida will take the preference sheet you fill out before your charter and create a menu based on your specific tastes. This means you can have your favorite meals every night!

Deckhand JD rounds out this amazing crew with a deep passion for the ocean and a love for all kinds of BVI water sports, such as kite surfing, diving, and fishing. With over 10 years of hospitality experience, JD is talented in meeting every guest’s needs. Together, Chris, Lida, and JD make a seamless team. They are thrilled to welcome you on board HUNTRESS for an unforgettable week in the BVI!

Boatbookings’ team member, Bella, was thrilled to meet this dedicated team at the 2025 BVI Yacht Show. She personally stepped on board and spoke to Chris, who made a lasting impression.
