CAPTAIN: Giacomo Boetti (Captain Jack)
CHEF/FIRST MATE: Nicole Giubilo
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.
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.
Ask For Captain Jack (Giacomo)
Giacomo (jack) was the best captain. He was incredibly professional, patient, and accommodating with a pasty party of 7 from the Midwest USA. Jack struck a perfect balance of deferring to our plans, and when we didn’t have many plans, recommending things to do and see in the BVI’s that turned out to be really fun, including hikes and niche snorkel spots. He has an uncanny knack for where to find any particular species of marine life.
If you’re looking for the trip of a lifetime in the Virgin islands, make sure and book and…..make sure you ask for Giacomo to be your captain
Relax On The Water
We recently went on a five-day family trip with Captain Giacomo (Captain Jack). We did a similar trip many years ago and the family has always wanted to go back.
We were not disappointed. Booking and preparation was easy. The boat was outfitted as expected including paddle boards, kayaks and other toys. Jack was a great fit for our group. He handled the boat well and was there whenever we needed him to answer questions and provide dinghy transportation to snorkeling spots and shore trips. We had specific locations and activities planned and Jack was able to facilitate all of our requests. However, when we didn’t have a plan for the day or when our plans could be improved, Jack provided numerous options and recommendations to enhance our experience. That is not an easy task with our group.
All of his suggestions were perfect and made our days more enjoyable. If you want to enjoy a relaxing, easy trip in the Caribbean, we highly recommend Captain Jack.
Trip of A Lifetime!
We chartered our yacht with friends and family for 5 days and had the best time. This is truly the trip of a lifetime and there is nothing like it.Captain Giacomo (Captain Jack) was such an incredible captain and fit for our group. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. He did a great job at hitting all of the spots that we wanted to see as well as recommending slight changes to our plans for smoother logistics or more beautiful views. He had our mooring balls reserved every morning at 7am on the dot and was well prepared the entire trip. He became a great friend to us all and we look forward to calling him when we are ready to charter again!
Meals Were Beautifully Prepared
We weren’t expecting the food to be this good on a boat! Chef Nicole not only served up gourmet meals three times a day, but also remembered all our preferences, even making custom dishes for the kids. Every meal was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. Her passion and creativity are amazing.Everyone Needs To Experience The BVI's
We ladies (mothers and daughters) and friends had a wonderful experience on our seven-day charter through the BVI’s. It more that met our expectations! Captain Giacomo was super-friendly, easy to get along with and had great suggestions for places to visit and explore and for restaurants to go to. He was very attentive to our requests, was very professional, and we all enjoyed his company and the whole trip overall. We would definitely recommend this excursion to all – thank you so much.It Was Fantastic
The minute we left the dock, it was fantastic, especially because of our captain, Captain Giacomo. He was simply the best. Giacomo took care of us from the minute we stepped on the boat. Instantly you could tell that he was there to make sure we had the best experience possible for our voyage. He was extremely thorough in helping us put together an itinerary to make sure we could maximize the time we had on the boat. Giacomo was very attentive to our request and made sure that all guests on the charter were comfortable. I could not be more happy with Giacomo and would recommend that anyone going on a charter to do whatever they can to have him as their captain!Each Day Brought Something new
Chef Nicole made our sailing vacation extra special. Each day brought something new—tropical fruit platters for breakfast, refreshing salads with grilled lobster for lunch, and Caribbean-inspired dinners. Her attention to detail and warm personality made us feel completely pampered.A Vacation Dreams Are Made Of!
We had the most amazing vacation on Aquanimity!!!Gino and Nikita are first class hosts!!! The food, the service, and the hospitality are beyond what I could have expected! This was a vacation dreams are made of!! We will definitely be back!! I highly recommend this crew!

We WILL BE BACK!
I cannot even explain the amazing experience we had on board the Aquanimity with Gino and Nikita!To be honest, it wasn’t the boat.. it was all Gino and Nikita that made this trip special.
From Gino taking us to some breathtaking places and showing us reefs and islands, to Nikita’s stunning talent in the galley. I have truly never had better food prepared on a trip. Nikita’s talent is second to none, and I have traveled the world.
We WILL BE BACK!

Food Was The Highlight
The BVI is gorgeous, but Chef Nicole’s food may have been the highlight of our trip. Poke bowls, fish dishes, flavorful curries, and decadent desserts—we couldn’t believe the variety and quality coming from the small galleyFantastic Adventure!
What a fantastic adventure!Gino and Nikita offered top notch hospitality and sailed us around the BVI “best of”. The boat, Aquanimity, was very comfortable for 6 adult guests with plenty of space to spread out. The food was plentiful and delicious, as were the cocktails!
Could not recommend enough and thank the crew for making my 60th so special. We hope to do it again soon!
Benjamin L.
Your Grace and Hospitality - Top Notch
For my 60th, I envisioned a BVI cruise with my family filled with fun, sun and rum.You delivered so much more.
Your grace and hospitality is top notch and you made us easily comfortable on our floating home for the week. And it felt like we all became a family which was the best part!
Captain Gino - we were all impressed with your maturity and master seamanship.
First Mate/Chef Nikita - what a chef and mixologist!!! You kept us well fed and full of rum, every meal a delight indeed.
You Two - are quite a pair and it was lovely to see how well you communicate with each other and work as a team. Well Done!!
Today is our last morning, last sunrise, last snorkel, last delish breakfast.... and we are so full of great memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for all that you did to make this week so so special.... Perfect!

Thank you both for an amazing adventure. You both are so kind and loving. Even though you looked like teenagers on your profile pics, I am SO glad we picked you both to guide our journey.Gino, your captain skills are what I would expect of someone 3 x your age. You are so smart and experienced. I would trust you to captain any future trips (except across the Atlantic but I'm not doing that with ANYBODY EVER!)
Nikita, your chef skills were top notch, like we were dining at a 5 star restaurant! We didn't even want to eat anywhere off the boat.
We consider you both a part of our family. We look forward to more adventures with you.
Please come visit us if you are ever in our area.
P.S. Next adventure.... I will regain the President status ;)

15/10 Christmas For My Family!!!
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!
John L.
Truly Amazing Vacation!

Thank you to Gino and Nikita for this amazing time.
Absolutely Incredible
We spent the week on S/V Aquanimity with captain Gino and chef Nikita, who were absolutely incredible.To say that we were treated well is an absolute understatement. Gino and Nikita ran the boat in the most professional manner, and calmly handing any issue, weather change or guest request with a smile and a ready solution.
Our adventure through the BVIs had the best snorkeling spots, fun hangouts and amazing meals every day! We had a blast! Cannot recommend this amazing team of Gino and Nikita highly enough.

Nikita your food was AMAZING! We did not expect that at all and were blown away each evening.
Hospitality and Kindness
The BVI's may be our new favorite vacation spot. Loved being able to slow down for a week and hit different spots daily. The absolute best part was the hospitality, kindness and energy of Gino and Nikita. You two work together like a well oiled machine and are such a pleasure to spend time with.

Their Warmth, Energy and Knowledge Made Every Part Enjoyable
The memories our family made this week aboard Aquanimity with Captain Gino and Chef Nikita will last us a lifetime. This crews warmth, energy and knowledge made every part of our trip interesting and so enjoyable.As parents of young kids aboard, Gino and Nikita's skill and professionalism instantly put us at ease, and they are a joy to know and so much fun to be around.
They make the best of every situation and their adaptability ensures a great time no matter what you are doing.
It is hard to think of highlights on a trip this great, but for us, the under-the-radar spots mights have to be the favorites (like secret shipwrecks!), as well as the Indians, Soggy Dollar Beach and Nikita's beautiful breakfasts.
We can't wait to tell our friends and family what a wonderful time we had this week in Gino and Nikita's capable hands.
Our kids ages were Jane (8) and Jack (6)
Gino and Nikita Were Incredible!
Probably the best vacation I have ever been on. Gino and Nikita were incredible. So much fun to be around.Gino on top of everything nautical detail. Nikita the consummate chef.
I wish they were my kids. The best trip!!
This Trip Covered It All
Words alone cannot even begin to describe our week on Aquanimity! Captain Gino at such a young age has experience WAY beyond his years. He is so very knowledgeable he makes you feel safe and secure in all he does. He's also a wonderful helper to first mate Nikita.Nikita, what can I say about this delightful first mate/chef.
Her meals are beyond incredible starting with very tasty appetizers, continuing with scrumptious entrees, finishing off with delicious desserts + snacks in between.
Both Gino and Nikita are such a joy to be with, you want to make them part of your family. All our stops sailing throughout the BVI were such incredible experiences we couldn't wait to see what the next day would bring.
We shared this whole experience with such great friends and our crew have become new friends. It's not WHERE you go in life, it's WHO you go with.

Our trip was fantastic! We enjoyed ourselves - beautiful weather, gorgeous scenery and the most amazing food! There wasn’t a meal that we didn’t love. Theresa and Bertie were the most wonderful hosts. They catered to our every need and wish.We look forward to our trip with you to South Africa!
Gracious Hosts.
What more gracious hosts there could be?Teresa and Bertie know hospitality. There are none better. From the expert captain, the 'penalty' shots, the chef extraordinaire, the incredible islands, and spending our 50th wedding anniversary onboard. Could not have asked for anything more.
Unforgettable Experience
We love y'all. What a fantastic experience for our family. You anticipated our every need long before we thought to ask. We felt safe in the wisdom of our legendary Captain Berite, and loved by the exquisite Chef Teresa. Teresa's gourmet food made the experience of every meal something to look forward to. We have never eaten this well for a week straight. The food was tasty and healthy.We loved the knowledge of the Virgin Islands shared by Bertie, and his willingness to share his opinions on virtually any topic.
We don't want any other Captain and Chef. Thank y'all for the unforgettable experience - of a lifetime!
Awesome Time!
Awesome time!Enjoyed the whole week.
Great crew.
Will do again in a heartbeat.
