Captain Nick Cheney
Captain Nicholas Chaney grew up sailing on the Great Lakes, where early exposure to life on the water formed a strong foundation in seamanship and vessel handling. After several years of college studying electrical engineering, he was introduced to the professional yachting industry by a close friend whose family owned a yacht in Florida. Drawn to the scale, technical sophistication, and global scope of yachting, he transitioned directly into the industry and has remained dedicated to it ever since .
With nearly two decades of experience, Captain Chaney is a USCG-licensed Master who has captained and engineered yachts from 80’ to 120’ in both private and charter service. His cruising experience includes the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway, U.S. East Coast, Bahamas, Bermuda, two transatlantic crossings, and an active Mediterranean charter season cruising the South of France and the Italian coastline, as well as extensive Caribbean operations to Grenada .
Technically proficient and highly hands-on, Nicholas is well regarded for his expertise in diesel propulsion, generators, HVAC, modern marine IT, AV and Starlink systems, and advanced electrical distribution platforms including Octoplex and C-Zone. He has also managed major refits and yard periods, bringing a practical, cost-conscious approach that benefits both owners and charter guests.

“KATIE-
Thank you so much for everything. From the ice cold towels, to the amazing rum filled pina colodas, to coming back to the boat to a spotless room - you truly are the best! I will miss having you help me find anything I can’t find and I will definitely miss my freshly steamed pillow case! If you ever want to come to Houston and live with me, you always have a place to stay!
CAROL-
I will miss waking up to an incredible breakfast every morning. There’s truly nothing better than your cheesy eggs!!! You are truly Gordon Ramsay level skilled. The best food I have ever had! And lets not forget the miso glazed fish! I wish I could eat that everyday! I will miss you so much! Thank you for everything and keeping our bellies & heart happy.”

´Dear Josh, John and Becky; Could not have asked for a better 5 days than the days on Andiamo. Snorkeling, fishing and toying on jet-skis never gets old. Great crew, great food, fun memories. Hope to do it again... Exumas next time.´
Charter Guest New Year´s Tanden 2022
Andiamo! Let’s Go!
We had an amazing week and felt right at home. Josh, Chris, and Chef Nell made it very memorable and easy. The food and service was top notch.
Andiamo is a great boat! The crew makes her shine!
Atlantis, Elenthra, Stanley Key, Governors Bay, lost of diving & kiting, Highbourne and back home. We hope to visit again!
Personally, I loved the trip! Seeing sharks was amazing and a little scary. But making a new friend Amelie (Ahm-ah-lee). Her birthday is close to mine too! My favorite day was New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day because: First boat sleepover day, swirlie temples, and when West and Amelie got their scuba certifications!
Amazing time on Andiamo!
Andiamo Charter - Dec. 29-Jan. 6, 2025 - Guest Review
´Captain Max is extremely knowledgeable! John and Chrissy always went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable! Captain Max always went over the next day’s itinerary with us ensuring that we were doing what we wanted. Every day was filled with great adventures! The blow-up water toys and paddle boards were great. We did not use the dinghy or jet ski on board the boat. Chrissy did an exceptional job with the food! Everything went very smoothly and communication was clear and concise about what to expect and what was needed. Felt that this was by far our best trip yet!´ – Charter Client - Dec. 2025
Charter Guest June 2026
´The crew worked their butts off! Was a great overall experience. The boat was important, but the crew made the experience. The size was good for his family, great for 6 guests and the layout was ideal. A perfect entry level boat. The chef was amazing - she´s a dynamo! There was no chaos in the kitchen. All meals were fantastic. We ate out twice during the trip and it didn´t compare. Food quality was on par. Didn´t see her prep; she was very clever to hide that. Captain was great, down to earth, Midwest kind of guy. He was very accommodating and informative. He was open to discussing boat ownership and even gave an ideal of the operating budget. The Deck/Stew was new, but very good. The Exumas were relaxing and met the family´s objective for the destination. Weather was nice and comfortable with a good breeze; the water temperature was perfect and refreshing. The big tender was not necessary for this trip; the Highfield had an adequate HP engine. The crew should market themselves more, self-promote with social media; not to have client´s book direct, but to drive business to the charter manager or a few key broker´s that can help them book more charters.´
