SOL SEEKER Yacht Description
With an abundance of outdoor space, the spacious three double cabins and 3 ensuite bathrooms plus the large saloon and galley, Sol Seeker is both luxurious and practical - plenty of room for groups and families.
It's a family friendly boat. No age restrictions. We have a V berth attached to a forward berth that they can set up if you want to keep your little ones close.
Sol Seeker had stunning new salon tables that were custom made by an artist and installed in November 2021. They are a unique feature that brings life and art to the space.
Sol Seeker features a walkthrough salon for the comfort and safety of guests. There is also a front seating area outside that is ideal for guests with mobility issues or younger children. They feel like they can still be out front in a safe way and included in the fun that happens on the trampoline instead of separated from the group. Actually most guests say this is one of their favorite spots on the boat.
Presented by DMA Yachting, the impressive charter yacht SOL SEEKER is a 44 ft sailing catamaran. SOL SEEKER spends the summer and winter season in British Virgin Islands. She was completed by recognized shipbuilder Leopard in 2014. The spacious yacht layout features 3 large cabins and easily accommodates up to 6 guests.
SOL SEEKER is introduced primarily as a sailing catamaran. The yacht layout radiates from the main saloon, which connects to the aft deck. The aft deck is where heart of the yacht is and that's where the guests spend most of their time. The immersive cabins are connected by stairs to the main saloon - roomy, comfortable and pleasant. The cabins are located in the 2 massive hulls. Multiple portholes provide a connection with the natural world outside.
and a generator.

Crew Information
Captain: Scott Schletz
MEET THE CREW ON SOL SEEKER
Scott, is a lover of adventure, land, air, and sea. He spent his life on land as an educator, teaching biology and earth science with a love of nature and exploration. He loves learning and teaching and has filled his mind with a plethora of trivia, nautical and otherwise. His aquatic experience started with SCUBA diving at the ripe, young age of 16. He learned to sail across the seasons on Lake Michigan, braving the chill of spring and fall while taking care of charter guests in the narrow summer months. He brings creativity and excitement to your adventure with a desire to always find something new and unique on every trip. Captain Scott is a certified mixologist creating amazing cocktails.
Nikki, was raised on the waters of the Mississippi River and has loved water her entire life. She grew up camping and boating, finding adventure and excitement in the water. A love of photography grew as she found more and more memorable pieces of nature to capture on film. Her love of food extends not only to the pleasure of the palate but also a respect for allergies and preferences across diets. She has spent the majority of her life as a Sign Language Interpreter, working in every field including medicine and travel just to name a few. For the past decade she has been learning and honing her sailing skills on the mercurial Lake Michigan, and taken those skills to the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Caribbean to see the world from the water. In recent years she has taken new sailors under her wing to share her knowledge. She loves sharing both the thrill of the reefed sail and heavy heel as well as the peace and quiet of a hoisted sail and silenced motor.
Nikki is a nationally certified American Sign Language Interpreter, fluent in ASL. Nikki is the perfect match for charters that have a Deaf person on board. The Deaf client(s) gain access to communication for safety and accessibility. If they would like to take land tours, Nikki would be able to interpret for these tours. Nikki also enjoys teaching signs to children and adults alike. Guests love learning the sign for turtle, octopus, fish, sailboat, etc.
Chef Nikki specializes in allergy and specialty diets. She is extremely knowledgeable particularly in Gluten Free diets due to cooking for someone with Celiac’s Disease for decades. She also has a close family member that is vegan and members of her family with nut allergies. She has years of experience cooking keto, paleo and Whole 30. Chef Nikki is competent and happy to accommodate guest allergies and preferences.
Chef Nikki and Captain Scott taught sailing for years and love to teach guests that are interested in sailing. Chef Nikki’s passion is to teach beginners the basics. She is patient and has many techniques to help guests remember what they have learned. Captain Scott is an SLC instructor. The SLC is a prestigious international sailing certificate that allows sailors to bareboat anywhere in the world. If sailors have experience and do the online coursework prior to charter, Captain Scott is able to do the on the water test for the SLC throughout their vacation and certify them if they pass the requirements.
Together they will sail you around the islands and keep your mind on vacation as you join them on Sol Seeker seeking adventure in the sun.

Reviews
We can not thank you enough for welcoming us into your home, treating us like family, providing us with beautiful meals and hospitality and sharing the joys and beauty of this amazing place!
We have had an incredible time and I am certain this will not be our last vacation with you guys aboard Sol Seeker!
Thank you for all the healthful meals, on shore adventures, snorkel adventures and PATIENCE!
Most of all though, Thank you for making our friends 50th birthday so special!
This trip meant the world to her.
Nikki's food preparations were absolutely incredible all while being mindful of food allergies - every day we had a fresh fruit platter, amazing breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizers and deliciously beautiful dinner presentations with formal place settings and mood lighting.
We also had a birthday on board. Nikki and Scott went out of their way and decorated the entire boat and had a birthday cake with candles made and at the ready.
They made fun cocktails like frozen Lime 'n d Coconut and Pain Killers.
Captain Scott was our adventure guide and took us on some amazing hikes and snorkel trips. He was also my 4 year old daughters dance partner and every night we had music and fun dancing on the boat.
The entire family agrees this was truly a once in a lifetime vacation and hands done the coolest experience/vacation we've ever had.
Nikki served the most amazing food morning, noon and evening! Captain Scott always ready to provide water sports and even hikes!
Thank you for the surprise birthday party! That was extra special.
You are truly the hostess with the mostess!
Every moment of our stay has been filled with so much thought, hospitality and attention to detail.
I felt so included in every meal despite my allergy, which never happens!
From the concert on the water, to Lime Out tacos, to star gazing, we have had so many experiences that truly felt once in a lifetime!
Thank you, Captain for answering my every nerdy science question & being so great with my kids!
Thank you, Chef for your loving patience & sharing your gift of American Sign Language with us!
Thank you both for giving our family the adventure of a lifetime!
We loved everything about the charter - especially all the delicious food, the personalized hiking and snorkeling tours, and of course the sunset double anniversary dinner on the hill :)
We really appreciated your attention to detail - hitting everything on our preference sheet, & Beyond! Loved the fresh flowers and for playing games with us.
You guys were awesome and we hope to get back down here again - maybe for both our next milestone anniversaries
From the moment we met each of you we felt welcomed and excited about our journey ahead. The thoughtfulness behind each meal and snack showed. We truly enjoyed it all.
Thank you for being so flexible and accommodating this past week.
Dave and I were able to share special moments together with your assistance.
We definitely recommend this charter with you both and hope to return to enjoy another amazing journey with you both!
Thanks so much for making it happen and especially with the highest of quality, attention and care. Nora had the time of her little life.
Thank you for being the hostesses with the mostesses and making the best tomstesses (I'm a poet and I know it ;)))
Capt'n Scott, thank you for your playfulness, your James Bond style picnic delivery and Chef Nikki thanks for all the education on a host of subjects and giving mom R&R and peace of mind.
You two are a special pair and we trusted you in all things! Safety, fun, adventure... the works!
I will miss many things especially the meals and snacks and this lovely vessel, Sol Seeker.
This vacation was the experience of a lifetime for me. My favorite part of every day was snorkeling. Each cove we visited had a different underwater surprise.
The table settings were beautiful which made the meals feel special and the food was delicious. This charter was worth every penny and more. I was planning my next vacation on Sol Seeker before I even left the islands.
Thank you Nikki and Scott for giving me one of the most incredible experiences of my life. There have been few times in my life where I have been able to "disconnect" and just experience the moment.
Nikki, your cooking was amazing! Every meal was an experience, even a plain English Muffin :)
Scott, you were so patient with me and scuba diving. I did not think I could do it but you stayed with me and helped me with my mask. You are also quite the bartender and Uno player.
The memories from this trip will be with me the rest of my life. Thank you for making it possible.
What an awesome and amazing experience!! The beauty of the Virgin Islands was impressive in its own right but was surpassed by my time on the Sol Seeker.
We were pleasantly greeted at the Harbor with exuberant enthusiasm at my arrival.
Luggage was taken to the yacht ahead and later myself and 2 other guests were escorted to the yacht.
What an amazing and beautiful vessel. This was my first experience on a smaller vessel but found my accommodations as well as rest of the yacht to be very roomy and comfortable and always kept clean and safe.
The professionalism of both Scott and Nikki and their extreme knowledge was very impressive and I was always at ease.
As Chef - Nikki out did herself in meals or snacks she had prepared. She asked if there were favorites but honestly all were truly delicious.
Prior to our arrival we were contacted as to what we enjoyed eating or didn't favor and beverages we enjoyed. She truly listened and meals were prepared and beverages provided to meet our request. I will say if any favorites - desserts fall into that category.
A daily itinerary was planned and we got to experience some beautiful nature, ocean life and even got lucky and saw a deer.
Activities were available as snorkeling, kayaking of which I had never done before and instructions given prior to taking on either.
Also great games for evening time after dinner.
I have traveled to some extent in my life and have to say this is probably a highlight of my experiences.
Will I do it again - ABSOLUTELY!
Will I go on SOL SEEKER again - COUNT ON IT!
