Crew Information
Captain: Heiko Franken
MEET YOUR CREW:
Captain: Heiko Franken
Chef: Rebecca Wu
Heiko, born and raised in Germany, is an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore. He left his job in IT management in 2014 to begin his dream to travel. Initially intending to be away for about a year, he soon realized that going back to an office-based job did not feel right for him anymore. Since then he has travelled throughout South and Central America, Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia. During this time he visited 30+ countries, speed-hiked the Camino de Santiago, hiked up 5000m high mountains, learned to speak Spanish, went scuba and freediving around the world and had many more beautiful experiences above and below the water. He is a Freediving Instructor and PADI Divemaster. Heiko loves to be out in the blue of the ocean and enjoys sharing his passions as a guide by creating safe and unique experiences.
Rebecca was born and raised in New York City but has lived all around the world since 2004. After graduating from NYU in 2002 with B.A. in Economics & Psychology, Rebecca worked in the financial services industry in New York and Hong Kong. A trip to Australia in 2005 changed her life - she learned to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef and fell completely in love with scuba diving. Two years later, she left the concrete jungle and trading floor for real jungles and sea floors. She spent two months diving her way around the Philippines, three months on a marine conservation expedition in Madagascar and four months completing her Divemaster internship in Malaysia. Afterwards, life took an unexpected turn and she found herself living in Sweden for a year, where she discovered her love for sailing and life afloat. Still holding onto her dream to teach scuba and share the underwater world with others, she put her plans for sailing to the Caribbean on hold to become a PADI Instructor in 2009. She has worked in Thailand, Hawaii and Indonesia for more than a decade in nearly every facet of the scuba diving industry, from guiding and instructing to dive center and resort management to working on a liveaboard. She loves life in the tropics, surrounded by water, nature and wildlife and thrives on sharing her passions with her guests.
Heiko and Rebecca met in Utila, Honduras while they were doing their Master Freediver course in 2015. After several years of working in different countries and flying across oceans to see each other, they decided to create a life together in 2020. Their mutual love for the ocean, travel and exploration led them to obtain their RYA Yachtmaster Offshore qualifications together in Gibraltar in 2020, sailing thousands of miles along the coasts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco, dodging the infamous orcas along the way. Shortly afterwards, they crewed their first yacht together in the USVI and have been flourishing as team ever since.
They are passionate about providing a highly professional level of service in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere while creating the most memorable experiences for their guests. They love getting to know you and tailoring each charter to your preferences and desires, allowing you to kick back, relax and enjoy. With a deep love and respect for the natural world, they maintain a strong focus on environmentally aware hospitality and best practices to ensure minimal impact on the environment.
The food is a big part of your experience on board and you can expect to be well taken care of by this food loving duo. Rebecca is a self-taught chef with a passion for gastronomy and the culinary arts. Her cuisine is primarily Mediterranean and Southeast Asian and is full of fresh ingredients and bright flavors. She draws a great deal of inspiration from her multi-cultural upbringing as well as nearly two decades spent living and traveling all around the world. You’ll also find Heiko in the galley baking authentic German-style bread or creating swoon-worthy desserts that will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. They are happy to cater to a variety of dietary requirements and in particular, specialize in vegetarian and vegan cuisine.
Heiko and Rebecca are back for their fourth charter season in the Virgin Islands after three successful seasons running a total of 47 charters. This dynamic couple is excited to be on Big Nauti for 2023/24 and look forward to welcoming you aboard, showing you the wonders of the Virgin Islands and creating memories to last a lifetime!

Thank you so much for making this trip an unforgettable experience. This trip would not be the same without both of you. The meals were fantastic, to say the least! The snorkeling was amazing and we really enjoyed the secret spots. Thank again from the bottom of our hearts for everything.
Unforgettable Vacation
We have had the best time celebrating our 40th anniversary with our family. From the scuba diving, great dining experiences, the late night swims and dancing with the disco lights, the knowledge of sailing and questions asked and answered were the best!!

Thank You A Million Times Over!
A trip of a lifetime that wouldn't have been possible without you! You're both masters of your craft, and cannot thank you enough for giving our family and friends such an amazing island experience!
What a way to kick off 2024, we truly hope 2024 is your best year yet. It's well deserved.
Thank you a million times over for your hospitality, professionalism and expertise - we couldn't have picked a better crew to share this week with!

Professional Expertise and Care
This trip exceeded our expectations! Your professional expertise and care shone throughout our week with you. We had the chance as a group to do some great snorkeling, tubing and swimming. Your cocktail mixing was much appreciated - special props - Heiko's painkiller was better than Soggy Dollar's. I especially appreciated the Pina Colada. Rebecca's cuisine was varied and delicious. We decided to eat onboard every night after one dinner off the boat. The poke was delish. We enjoyed the sailing and the chance for our family to be together in such a beautiful place.
Unbelievable Experience
A truly unbelievable experience that would not have been possible without Rebecca and Heiko. Their care, attention to detail and thoughtful and generous hospitality made this trip and it's one we'll be talking about and dreaming about for years to come....until next time.
Consummate Professionals
Thank you for a wonderful week.You made what was already going to be a great experience into something truly unforgettable. I couldn't feel more fortunate to have shared this vacation with you both.Your constant thoughtfulness and kindness on top of your expertise in all things sailing, cooking, marine life and more, is exceptional. You are consummate professionals. If you come to nashville, please let us know!
Difference Makers!
I've done several BVI sailing trips over the years and all have been wonderful. But this trip was, without a doubt the best ever. Aside from the great weather, sailing and beautiful yacht, you two were the difference makers. You kindness, hospitality, generosity, warmth and sense of humour set this experience apart. Looking forward to returning soon
Magical Vacation
Thank you Heiko and Rebecca for the most magical vacation ever. This vacation made my family and I feel incredibly spoiled - I am so grateful. I absolutely LOVED the nightly laser-pointer rundown of your travels, y'alls cocktail-making-skills and how you anticipated our every need and want.....warm towels after a swim, mid-afternoon charcuterie, cracking open an evening rose. You both were crucial in this incredible memory that I know my family will talk about for a long, long time - THANK YOU
Professional Yet Approachable
Very professional, yet very approachable....a unique and very appreciated combination. I'm confident that each member of our crew would echo those sentiments. I plan to charter again (and again) in the USVI/BVI and my decision regarding which yacht to hire will be primarily be based on whether you two are available.
Exceptional
Thank you for a wonderful week on this beautiful yacht! You all are exceptional - thank you for making it a triop of a lifetime.
Kindness and Consideration
Thank you for your kindness and consideration the entire charter! This was an experience of a lifetime and it wouldn't have happened without you!
Wonderful Vacation
Words will never do our trip justice! The trip was absolutely wonderful and your service levels and professionalism were at the top! We are so grateful to have been part of this wonderful journey!
Thank You Friends!
Hospitality is one of the great virtues, but you already knew that, because you excelled at serving us and making us feel welcome for the past 9 days.
As our captains, you amazed us with your sailing and navigation skills. We truly enjoyed the many meals that you prepared for us. Your food pleased everyone beyond belief.
We felt safe, knowing that the boat was in excellent condition and very clean. We were forever amazed at how you cleaned our rooms without anyone seeing you. It was quite the magical act.
Thank you friends! We hope to cross currents with you again soon.

Broker's Guest Review
BIG NAUTI is by far the best boat we have been on and this was our 6th catamaran trip to the BVI. We loved the front lounging area without the trampoline, just perfect. The Skydeck was amazing and comfortable. We absolutely loved the boat! Rooms were larger and beds comfortable. Seemed very spacious, we do want to do this again.
Everything was in working order, the condition of Big Nauti was wonderful. .
The crew prides themselves in keeping the boat clean throughout the week. They cleaned the bedrooms daily, my wife loved this just nothing to do..
Where did you find Walmar and Tamika, both are Excellent. This crew are superb.
The service that Tamika and Walmar provided was first class all the way. They were always willing to help and treated us well. Good cocktails were a wow morning noon and night..
Walmar and Tamika were interactive but not overbearing.
Walmar and Tamika are highly competent and we felt safe and well taken care of. It was a windy week and Walmar found us coves that were protected, we always had fun and a good nights sleep.
Best meals we have had! Great presentation and taste. Tamika worked hard to provide 3 excellent meals/day. It was like a 5 star restaurant.
Walmar and Tamika’s meals and service Exceeded our expectations. Very creative and delicious.
Our entire group would love to charter with BIG NAUTI ONCE AGAIN SOOOOON.

The service that Tamika and Walmar provided was first class all the way. They were always willing to help and treated us well. Good cocktails were a wow morning noon and night..
Walmar and Tamika were interactive but not overbearing.
Walmar and Tamika are highly competent and we felt safe and well taken care of. It was a windy week and Walmar found us coves that were protected, we always had fun and a good nights sleep.
Best meals we have had! Great presentation and taste. Tamika worked hard to provide 3 excellent meals/day. It was like a 5 star restaurant.
Walmar and Tamika’s meals and service Exceeded our expectations. Very creative and delicious.
Our entire group would love to charter with BIG NAUTI ONCE AGAIN SOOOOON.

The happiest memory we all shared was seeing Big Nauti pull onto the dock in St. John. It only got better as the days unfolded. The Big Nauti, Amanda and Dillion have been a beautiful memory- filled with sights of ocean and mountains as Dillon took on his course- filled with delicious delicacies Amanda prepared.
We were blessed to have had this joinery together.

One of the best weeks of my life! Captain Dillon and Amanda are gems and made it all possible. Snorkeling, swimming, sunsets, sailing, wakeboarding, cocktail hour - I will remember it all.
Dillon, thanks for taking us all over the islands and letting me sail. Amanda, every meal was a pagent - you are a supremely gifted chef - haven't eaten that well in years.
It was wonderful getting to know you both and sending time together.

An Exquisite Experience.
Thank you both for an exquisite experience.
The food presentation was only out done by the variety of fresh flavors. The details from table settings, to bedrooms and bath set up, to the flowers were on point.
Most appreciated are the stories shared, the experiences you created and the memories you will both always be part of. You two crew an awesome catamaran but it would simply be a boat without your skills, talents, humour and the love that oozes from you two towards your guests and boat.

A Beautiful Yacht and Fantastic Crew!
What a beautiful cruise in a beautiful yacht and FANTASTIC crew. Amanda and dillon were the perfect crew - helpful and offered history of the USVI's and great at finding the best moorings in St. John to allow us the escape to Paradise.
Great meals that were thoughtfully and nuturingly planned - great surprise with a lobster dinner, ceviche and horderves that could have been dinner!
Dillon's capable sailing and guide to the Best of the Best in the USVI's

Expectations were exceeded!
The yacht was brand new and in great shape. The rooms had plenty of space, the beds were comfortable and the A/C was very effective. Byron, Michelle and Scott were very pleasant and spent significant time with us after hours as well as going snorkeling and attending several meals off boat. They kept our drinks full at all times. We had a very good time. Byron was very familiar with all the best overnight spots and kept us in calm ports – which was not easy with three days of 20+ knot winds. Additionally, the crew accommodated us by picking us up in St. Johns which saved us time and money. Michelle is a true chef – the meals were excellent and filling. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all great. She even went above and beyond by making me a delicious 50th birthday cake. Our expectations were exceeded with the quality of the boat and the crew .
