The crew aboard the Nauti Nickel is a unified team driven by a shared passion for the ocean, hospitality, and exceptional service. Captain Michael and Chef Jennifer, an inseparable married duo, bring years of experience and adventure to the helm. Their love affair with sailing began more than a decade ago, and they remain as vibrant on each new passage as they were on their first. With over 70 luxury term charters completed across various regions, they have mastered both sailing and motor yachts.

Michael, originally from California, fulfills dual roles on the Nauti Nickel as both Captain and Engineer. It is magical for him working alongside his wife. Jennifer, with a culinary degree focused on French influences, started her career as a chef in Portland, where she spent seven years working in gourmet restaurants, curating menus, and training staff. Over more than a decade of yacht chartering, she has thrived in the dual roles of Chef and Stewardess, continually pushing the boundaries of creativity with meals that are both fulfilling and elevated. Her love for fresh, local ingredients enhances the pairing of culinary delights with the sailing experience, and she expertly accommodates all dietary preferences to ensure every guests enjoyment.

Nauti Nickel’s Mate and the Captain of our chase vessel Ronin is Joel, who brings a unique fusion of creativity and maritime expertise to the Nauti Nickel. Raised along the beaches of Texas, his passion for the ocean began early. After a successful career in film and television, with appearances in shows like *Saved by the Bell* and *Baywatch*, Joel shifted gears to pursue a degree in Visual Communication and Art History. He went on to spend nearly two decades as a photographer and graphic designer for elite brands like Rolling Stone and Westfield.

Joel's deepening connection to the ocean led him to a new chapter as a dive instructor, earning his MSDT certification with specializations in underwater imaging, as well as certifications in Nitrox Gas Blending and Emergency First Response. He also attained his USCG captain’s license. Now, as Mate on the Nauti Nickel, Joel captains vessels, leads dives, teaches diving, and captures stunning underwater photos, all while bringing an enigmatic charm to his role, ensuring guests experience both adventure and intrigue.

Deckhand Jackson and Stewardess Amberly perfectly complement the leadership of Michael, Jennifer, and Joel with their enthusiasm and diverse skill sets. Jackson, a native of the Oregon coast, has a deep connection with the water, honed from years of surfing and his background in firefighting and emergency response. His focus on safety is paramount, ensuring guests can relax and enjoy their experience. Jackson also brings six years of bartending expertise to the table, crafting the perfect cocktail to enhance any moment on board. Jackson and Chef Jennifer are connected beyond working as crew on Nauti Nickel, she worked as Jackson’s families Nanny. Their connection grew into a lasting relationship that opened the door for Jackson to channel his creative energy into the world of yachting. Though still young, Jackson is a well-traveled individual who has already made a name for himself as a professional bartender, crafting elevated cocktails at bespoke bars. In addition to his expertise behind the bar, he is an accomplished musician and composer, having performed at notable venues with his band. His passion for entertaining, whether through mixology or music, is driven by an innate desire to create memorable experiences for others.

Amberly, who split her childhood between the shores of New Zealand and Oregon, shares Jackson's love for the sea and has a keen eye for detail in hospitality. With six years of fine dining experience, Amberly elevates the onboard dining experience, ensuring every meal is served with precision and a personalized touch. Her enthusiasm for water sports, along with Jackson’s, ensures guests will have plenty of opportunities to explore the water in exhilarating ways, guided by a team that is passionate about creating unforgettable memories.

Together, this crew delivers a seamless and exceptional yacht charter experience on the Nauti Nickel, where every detail is handled with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for the sea.
