$25,500 - $27,500 / WEEK
NAUTI MERMAID - 2
Step aboard the Nauti Mermaid, a stunning Royal Cape Majestic 530 hybrid catamaran designed to whisk you away on an unforgettable adventure at sea. With its sleek, modern design, abundant natural light, and superior ventilation, this luxurious floating haven sets the stage for a vacation you’ll never want to end. From the moment you step on board, you'll be welcomed by spacious three-foot walkways, ample headroom, and uncluttered decks—perfect for strolling, sunbathing, and taking in the breathtaking views. Inside, the open-concept salon, well-appointed galley, and elegantly designed cabins offer the perfect blend of comfort and style, each thoughtfully equipped with TVs, excellent lighting, and both AC and DC power sources to keep you connected and relaxed. Love the outdoors? The expansive solid bimini over the cockpit provides plenty of shade, while built-in lounges on the foredeck and movable lounge chairs invite you to unwind in the warm ocean breeze. Sip a glass of chilled wine from the onboard wine cooler as you toast to another perfect day under the tropical sky. With 6,000 watts of solar panels powering multiple freezers, refrigerators, and even a trash compactor, the Nauti Mermaid delivers eco-friendly luxury at its finest. Your days can be as adventurous or as laid-back as you choose. Ride the waves with the wakeboard, foiling board, and kneeboard, or explore underwater wonders with snorkel gear, underwater sleds, and a glass-bottom kayak. Hop aboard the 40HP dinghy, playfully named Nacho Boat, to visit hidden coves or lively beach bars—she comfortably seats eight for group excursions. Fishing enthusiasts will love the onboard spinning and trolling gear, while thrill-seekers can take on the subwing, scurf board, and more. Prefer a bit of friendly competition? Enjoy beach games, water guns, a floating mat, or a match of Spike Ball. There’s something for every guest, no matter the mood. Evenings are pure magic on the Nauti Mermaid. Relax in hammocks on the stern, take a dip under the glow of underwater lights for a midnight swim, or stay connected with Starlink wireless internet—whether to share your adventures in real time or unwind with a favorite movie on the digital projector and screen. At the end of the day, retreat to your private cabin, where king and queen accommodations offer a restful night’s sleep, lulled by the gentle sway of the sea. Guiding your journey, the Nauti Mermaid’s licensed captain navigates to the most spectacular destinations, while an accomplished chef delights you with gourmet meals tailored to your tastes. Whether you crave a romantic candlelit dinner, a lively family-style feast, or refreshing snacks between water sports, every dish is crafted to perfection. So come experience the magic of the Nauti Mermaid—where luxury, adventure, and relaxation blend seamlessly for the ultimate getaway. With its captivating charm, premium amenities, and endless opportunities for fun, this catamaran offers an unforgettable vacation you’ll want to return to year after year.

March 2025
Our expectations preparing for the trip were extremely high. Without ? question, those expectation were exceeded in every manner. The vessel was spacious and comfortable, food was abundant and delicious, nightly anchorages were interesting and offered great opportunities for snorkeling and swimming in virtually crystal clear waters. We used and enjoyed all the water toys onboard. We collected king conch and Emma made delicious conch fritters and conch ceviche. Mitch and Emma are the perfect crew for the Soulmates. Both are delightful people and expert in what they do. They had a suggested itinerary, explained it fully, and were willing to make adjustments to it if necessary. We are not an easy group to feed as a group of eight including kids with various taste preferences, peanut and gluten allergies, etc.. Emma mastered the task completely! Every day offered a new adventure. We swam with pigs, played with the nurse sharks at Compass Key, saw the iguanas, snorkeled Pablo Escavar's sunken plane wreck. One night in Staniel Key, we all went out for dinner at the restaurant at the Yacht Club. It too was a treat! The best gathering spot on the Soulmates is the upper deck, the views are great, the breezes are exhilarating, My grandkids on most nights elected to sleep on the comfortable cushions on deck under the stars. We indeed got lucky with near perfect weather. The Exumas are just amazing and interesting as it offers so much without venturing out in open ocean which insured calm seas. We collectively had a world class family vacation that we will never forget. Please let the owner of the Soulmate know what a tremendous asset his new crew is. They are literally the best !!! Mickey

Every day offered a new adventure. We swam with pigs, played with the nurse sharks at Compass Key, saw the iguanas, snorkeled Pablo Escavar's sunken plane wreck. One night in Staniel Key, we all went out for dinner at the restaurant at the Yacht Club. It too was a treat! The best gathering spot on the Soulmates is the upper deck, the views are great, the breezes are exhilarating, My grandkids on most nights elected to sleep on the comfortable cushions on deck under the stars. We indeed got lucky with near perfect weather. The Exumas are just amazing and interesting as it offers so much without venturing out in open ocean which insured calm seas. We collectively had a world class family vacation that we will never forget. Please let the owner of the Soulmate know what a tremendous asset his new crew is. They are literally the best !!! Mickey

Emma and Mitch, Thank you for a magical week in the BVI. You shared an amazing experience with our family. The beauty, the laughter, just the sheer joy of enjoying life – building memories. We loved the hikes, snorkeling, amazing food and cocktails and friendship. We got to meet many animal friends along the trip – Billy, Crush (sea turtles), our bird friend with the pierced bill and the cigarette smoking tarpon. AMAZING ADVENTURE! YOU BOTH IMPROVED OUR LIVES! Love Trent, Kim, Hope, Hanna and Katie

We all just returned from our week through the Exumas. Our expectations preparing for the trip were extremely high without question. Those expectations were exceeded in every manner. The vessel was spacious and comfortable. Food was abundant and delicious, nightly anchorages were interesting and offered great opportunities for snorkeling and swimming in virtually crystal clear waters. We used and enjoyed all the water toys on board. We collected king conch and Emma made delicious conch fritters and ceviche. Mitch and Emma are the perfect crew for Soul Mates. Both are delightful people and experts at what they do. They had suggested an itinerary, explained it and were willing to adjust it if necessary. We are not an easy group to feed as a group of eight including kids with various taste preferences, peanuts, and gluten, allergies, etc., Emma mastered the task completely! Every day offered a new adventure - we swam with pigs, played with the Nurse sharks at Compass Cay, saw the iguanas, snorkeled Pablo Escobar ‘s plane wreck and one night in Staniel Cay. We all went out for dinner at the restaurant at the yacht club, it too was a treat! The best gathering spots on Soul Mates is the upper deck. The views are great, the breezes auxiliary and my grandkids on most nights elected to sleep on the comfortable cushions on deck under the stars as we got lucky with perfect weather. Exumas are just amazing and interesting as it offers so much without venturing out into open ocean, which ensured calm seas. We collectively had a world-class family vacation that we will never forget. Please let the owner of the Soul Mates know what a tremendous asset his new crew. They are literally the best!!! Thanks to you for helping us plan this trip and pointing us in the right directions regards, Mickey
