Big Nauti Crew Profile
Captain
Chef/Mate
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!

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.

Better than any picture!!
Thank you, Dillion and Amanda, for your fun personalities, great food and smooth sailing. We wish you too the best and plan to see you again!
A Beautiful Memory!
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.
THANK YOU!
Every day was more beautiful than the last!

Best Weeks Of My Life!
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.
Most Fantastic Hosts!
Captain Dillon and Chef Amanda were the most fantastic hosts! Incredibly focused on making sure each member of our family had a great time. Wonderful meals thanks to Amanda. Always positive, engaging and smiling.

We relaxed, did some sight-seeing, the food was amazing and the experience wa sa special one that´s for sure.
we love everything about this boat and crew who truly became part of our family.
thanks for everything.
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.
Hope To Be Back ASAP
I don´t want to leave this fabulous catamaran.
What a week - Dillon and Amanda were the best. They made us feel very special and the food was spectacular. The service was even BETTER!!
Love them both! Hope to back on this boat ASAP!!

You have made our dream trip exceed BEYOND our dreams - absolutely incredible.
We´ve used all the words in our vocabulary to express our gratitude and awe.
We will never never ever forget this experience - you are truly the best crew in the Caribbean!
Fabulous!
Thank you so much for providing such a memorable experience on the Big Nauti.
Your attention to detail, planning and hospitality are so appreciated.
The Big Nauti is a fabulous vessel. The amenities were top notch. Loved the yeti cups and great towels and linens. These things truly set you apart.
And the meals!! Exquisite! Such creativity and truly appreciate the healthy menu with flavor to spare.

A Highlight Of Our Family´s Adventures
Dillon and Amanda, thank you both for not only taking care of our tribe but for treating us as part of your ´boat family´ We´ve traveled across the world, but this past week will forever be a highlight of the Frank´s family adventures. Here´s to hoping this isn´t the last time we see you both!
Amazing Trip
Thank you for the most amazing trip across the US Virgin Islands! You definitely met all our needs! So kind, and you have the gift of service for sure.
Amanda, your cooking was unbelievable. you are a great chef. You are also the best first mate dillon could ask for!
A Real Treat.
A real treat as we had never sailed here.
The crew were always ready to serve with a smile and a calm presence! Thank you for the great trip. We will be sure to tell all about ´Big Nauti´ and its wonderful crew.
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 .
