NAUTI MERMAID Yacht Description
-
Wide swim platform with easy water access:
Fantastic for swimming, launching water toys, and relaxed family water fun together. -
Underwater scooters included for exploration:
Premium fun for adventurous guests exploring underwater sights and snorkeling areas. -
Variety of water sports gear onboard:
Kayaks, paddleboards, wakeboard, kneeboard and towable tube for active family and friends time.
NAUTI MERMAID is the “water-toy closet” that somebody accidentally turned into a 2025 Royal Cape catamaran. Underwater scooters, wakeboard, towable tube, kayaks, paddleboards, kneeboard, floating mats, beach games – this is a charter set up for people who actually plan to get wet, not just post about it.
Designed for 6 guests in 3 cabins with 2 crew focused on service, safety and logistics, the boat is laid out so you can move from shaded cockpit to swim platform to toys without doing parkour. Multihull stability means you get the space and comfort upgrade without paying for a superyacht.
Onboard life is deliberately low-friction: air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, TV in the saloon, indoor audio with iPod dock, a proper BBQ, outdoor shower and an easy-access swim platform that turns into a staging area for snorkeling and diving. Big-game and light fishing gear are onboard for when you decide lunch should not come out of a packet.
If your brief is: “new build, sleep 6 in comfort, spend days in the water with toys, come back to AC, Wi‑Fi and grilled things,” NAUTI MERMAID fits the spec with minimal drama.

Reviews
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
Thank you for being the best charter host ever you both truly made this vacation and amazing experience for us all! The food was fantastic, and we enjoyed every meal. Mitch, we appreciate
your boating expertise and ensuring we did everything to maximize the experience. You both feel like family now and we will miss you so much look forward to staying in touch hopefully we
were not too crazy of a group
Ruinen
Such a perfect week on the boat with you. Thanks for your time, attention, care and expertise, not to mention the ever full belly! We do not want to leave “just now” or ever and hope to see you again next season, or in Texas in the off season!
With love,
Jenna and Adam Taylor
Thank you very much for providing a spring break experience we will never forget. Your scuba dives/the lobster that got away/ jet skiing experiences snorkeling and all of the other extras made this a family vacation to remember forever! We appreciate your patience with our requests, especially Connie’s first snorkeling experience! You both have special gifts, and we appreciate you sharing them with us this week. Please let us know if you’re in Kansas City, we would love to host you.
Thank you very much,
Connie, Aaron, Hudson and Aidan
Christy and Greg Moreno-Earle

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
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.
