What makes the crew on Aquanimity different from other BVI charters?
As the owners of Aquanimity, we (Patty & Tim) personally helped to select Captain Jack and Chef Nicky for their blend of technical skill and 5-star hospitality. They don't just 'work' on the boat; they treat Aquanimity and our guests like family, offering a level of 'straight-talk' accountability and care that corporate fleet crews often lack.
