Giacomo Boetti (Known affectionately by guests as 'Infamous Captain Jack' for his warm personality and expert storytelling...
MEET CAPTAIN JACK... Born into a sailing family and growing up on boats with his father as a professional skipper for over 30 years, Giacomo was immersed in maritime life from a young age, gaining hands-on experience and developing a natural intuition for the sea. His career has taken him from deckhand roles to captaining yachts both in the Mediterranean and in the British Virgin Islands. Calm, confident, and highly skilled, Giacomo ensures a safe and seamless journey while sharing his love of sailing with every guest on board.
Meet Chef Nicky
Nicole brings warmth, precision, and Mediterranean flair to every meal she creates. Since 2022, she has worked as a yacht chef in both the Mediterranean and the British Virgin Islands, drawing inspiration from each destination, to craft vibrant gourmet dishes. Nicole’s sunny personality makes her a joy to be around and her creative spirit shines through in her cuisine. When they’re not delighting guests, Giacomo and Nicole share a love for outdoor adventure. Whether it’s snorkeling vibrant reefs, hiking scenic trails, or surfing hidden coves, their enthusiasm for nature adds a vibrant, personal touch to every trip.
Join Giacomo and Nicole on Aquanimity for a charter experience defined by passion, professionalism, and play. Each day will bring breathtaking views, exceptional hospitality, and memories to last a lifetime.
- We set sail on The Aquanimity for a 7 day trip! Party of 4! Giak & Nicole exceeded our expectations. Captain Giak, well versed in the BVI. He knew all the places to go. From a quite cove, amazing restaurants, cocktail mixer, party beach or just a wonderful day sitting on the boat “yacht watching”. Ask him to make you an espresso martini 😃
- Nicky was a fantastic chef & always took care of us with any requests. Top notch!
- The boat was clean with nice pillows, lots of fun water floats and many places to sit on the boat to just relax. This was our first trip to the BVI & are already planning our next trip!
