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.

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
The food was amazing and Nikki was more then accommodating for my pickiness and made sure I always had something to eat! Scott was an excellent guide and photographer for our group during our excursions off of the boat. Together, they made the entire trip stress free and more enjoyable then I could have ever imagined! Without a doubt, I would recommend a vacation on the Sol Seeker with Captain Scott and Chef Nikki!
Andra C.
Captain Scott was a great captain but also a fantastic land guide, taking us on hikes around the Bathes, the bubble pool, “Treasure Island” and Annaberg Plantation. His excitement to teach us SkullKing (such a fun game), set up movie night (& Reacher night!!) and share his historical & science knowledge sparked our excitement for all too!
Chef Nikki’s meals were everything we expected and more. The Ahi tuna nachos were my absolute favorite but all the meals were delicious (pork loin, Shakshuka, pancakes, quesadillas….the list goes on). Every morning we woke up to coffee and a beautiful plate of fresh fruit. Nikki also has a wealth of knowledge about the Islands for all the questions we threw at her. Fun fact, Chef Nikki is also a captain so you can feel safe having 2 experienced captains on the boat!
Scott and Nikki are Owners & Crew for the Sol Seeker so, the hospitality they show you while inviting you into “their home” was second to none!
I would highly recommend the “sleep aboard” option if available for your trip. We arrived the afternoon before our scheduled trip, but were able to sleep on the boat and get acquainted with Scott and Nikki that evening before setting sail.
Also, Nikki was more than willing to get airport transportation set up for us so we just had so show up! Both of these as well as making dinner reservations for us for that night, helped make travel day less stressful!!
Amy S.
Our week aboard Sol Seeker with Captain Scott and Chef Nikki was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we stepped onto the immaculate, well-organized catamaran, we felt at ease knowing we were in the hands of true professionals.
Captain Scott’s deep knowledge of the British Virgin Islands ensured we were always in the right place at the right time—whether it was a prime snorkeling spot, a secluded beach, or the perfect sunset anchorage. He made every day an adventure, seamlessly blending water sports, island excursions, and relaxing sail time.
Chef Nikki’s meals were wonderful! The fresh fruit each morning was a treat! Her tuna nachos were out of this world! The rum tasting and custom cocktails were a fun and flavorful way to unwind after a day on the water!
A highlight was watching the Super Bowl right on the boat, enjoying great food, drinks, and the incredible Caribbean atmosphere. Scott and Nikki’s hospitality, expertise, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and unforgettable.
If you’re looking for the perfect charter in the BVI, Sol Seeker is the way to go. This small business truly delivers an incredible, personalized adventure. We can’t wait to sail with them again!

All of the meals were cooked and presented in a first class manor. We all like a variety of food and healthy food choices. Nikki went above and beyond to make sure that our requests were met and she greatly exceeded our expectations.

Our group had the best trip of our lives. The crew is first rate and their attention to details to our needs was amazing.
Chef Nikki crafted and incredibly delicious menu.
Captain Scott is a master of his craft and is helpful and gentle. We felt safe.
I recommend Sol Seeker to anyone who is thinking about a relaxing and beautiful trip to the BVI or the USVI.
Rigo C.
They listened to our preferences from the pre-trip information sheet/zoom call and nailed it perfectly!
Nikki provided exquisite meals as the chef for the discerning food members in our group, as well as set the table beautifully each meal to go the extra mile with her details to make everything special for us.
We celebrated my birthday, wedding anniversaries, and New Year's Eve in style with festive decorations they provided and set up for us, and her gourmet desserts were phenomenal.
DO NOT HESITATE to book with Nikki and Scott!
They made the trip truly perfect for us. Scott is the fearless captain, navigator of the dinghy, snorkel guide, island hiking guide, and rum/chocolate tasting expert. His easy manner and fun jokes added to our enjoyment.
Nikki has incredible attention to detail and not only was the chef, but also made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay, went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable and that the yacht stayed very clean at all times. Lastly, it is important to mention that being on a yacht for 7 nights is close living quarters, and Nikki and Scott were both conscious of preserving our privacy, while also sharing in our discoveries of all the USVI and BVI has to offer with their knowledge and experience.
Stephanie C.
Our feet are back in Ohio but our heads are still in the clouds reminiscing about the incredible experience from start to finish. Every meal we now have, pales in comparison to the cuisine presented by Chef Nikki. Capt. Scott was so capable and accommodating. He even snorkeled with us!
Already "seeking" another trip with these beautiful "sols".

Nikki's gourmet meals were a feast for the eyes and the belly. But she was so much more than that. She was quick with a kind word when it was needed. She never tired of answering another question.
Scott did so many crucial jobs, quietly and skillfully. When we ventured out, we did not worry because captain Scott was always there in his dinghy. He was also a wealth of knowledge on endless topics.

Not knowing what to expect - it has been a lovely introduction to these marvelous islands - and the best part was meeting both Nikki and Scott and getting to witness a bit about their DREAM LIFE!
Nikki, you are an amazing and creative chef. We LOVED every morsel you served! We wish you every happiness as you continue your journey with Sol Seeker.
And Scott, thank you for your patience and perseverance with an elder (me!) this has been absolutely FABULOUS.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Your welcoming to us, your care throughout the week, your navigation and wisdom in guiding our course, your friendship, your excellent food, your attention to detail makes this trip simply amazing.
I know that there is a lot of competition with charter companies but I wanted to email to tell you that Captain Scott and Chef Nikki provided the absolute BEST vacation we ever could have asked for. It was simply the best. The cleanliness of the boat was noted first. The sleepaboard was recommended to us and that was a game changer. The food was just the highest quality and so delicious. We literally laughed all day and were all amazed at the destinations we were bought to. Scott and Nikki are indeed the reason that the trip was outstanding. I thought you should know when recommending other interested parties.
I look forward to working with you again. Thanks again !!
There were so many thoughtful little things you all did and even though they were the "little things", they were huge and noticed and sincerely appreciated. Our family will remember this week, this vacation, both of you for the rest of our lives, so, thank you for the moments, the memories, the vacation of a lifetime.
We just got off charter and I wanted to tell you that I don’t think it is possible to have had a better time than the one Captain Scott and Chef Nikki gave us. Nikki is an excellent chef and Scott has endless energy for activities, which I loved. I cannot recommend them any more enthusiastically. We saw whales, turtles, and sharks, largely because they knew where to take us. Scott was willing to do whatever we wanted. He made it happen. It was a fantastic vacation and one of my favorites of all time.
Nikki's cooking is amazing. I rate each meal as ranging from excellent to phenomenal.
Captain Scott made the trip for me. Willing to do anything I wanted as far as hikes or watersports. You both care, you bust your asses and it did not go unnoticed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the amazing 40th birthday trip. I will be incredibly disappointed if we do not spend another week on Sol Seeker.
Fair winds and following seas, friends!
I'm sure my memories of the places we went will fade from this trip, but I will never forget the peacefulness and calmness I've felt throughout this trip, all of which is thanks to you both.
When we began our search for a boat for our venture, we had a defined set of objectives. We wanted to enjoy the thrill of sailing in the Caribbean, to do this in a beautiful, sound, well appointed and well-maintained craft, to experience many well executed activities, to dine on excellent food and drink, to participate in lively and informative conversation and to leave with a feeling that we had interacted with and seen the best representation of what the Virgin Islands had to offer. Our selection of Sol Seeker for this venture was perfect. Scott, a former science teacher and now licensed captain skillfully operates a superbly maintained catamaran.
All of Nikki’s culinary creations were artful, nutritious and delicious. A rum tasting following dessert by Captain Scott displayed the broad spectrum of these products produced in the Caribbean.
We scheduled a couple of meals off the boat and found the Cooper Island Beach Club and Pirates Bight in Bights Bay to be excellent recommendations.
Their backgrounds, training and conversational skills made every day a joy, both in learning and in recreation using their extensive inventory of equipment. We didn’t want our week to end and wish to return – with them to support us on another venture.
the meals were fantastic. Thanks for all activities you provided for us.
this catamaran trip was by far the best one we have taken as compared to othered taken in past years.
As the end draws near we have gained 2 more family members with Scott and Nikki. We will remember you forever.
With love.
We think you even had a hand in providing the exceptionally great weather.
The meals were fantastic!
Thanks for all activities you provided for us. The catamaran trip was by far the best one we have taken as compared to others taken in past years.

With love..
We will miss you both so much! If you ever have the desire to come to visit Texas - you'll have a home with us!
They are a special team. They engineered an experience for our family that hit on all of the items that would make each member of our family feel like their time was memorable and fun while simultaneously creating a calm and relaxed environment.
Being a bit of a sailor myself, they made all of the hard parts about a charter invisible - we didn’t have a thing to worry about.
Making it one of the best trips possible.
The food and activities were incredible.
Nikki, I loved hearing about your family and your history as a sign interpreter.
Scott, you have the most amazing sense of humor and are the best game buddy.
If there is one thing I will miss most about the USVI, it will be you guys. Keep doing what you're doing; you're living your dream and every week a group of lucky people get the week of their lives.
Thank you for creating such special memories for my family and me! As a wanna-be-sailor to two real sailors living their best life: Fair Winds and Following seas.
Thank you for a great week. I had such a fun time.
I'm so excited for you both in starting Sol Seeker - your dream!
Congrats again and Thank You
Our time on Sol Seeker was truly one of the best vacations yet! You made us feel like home even if we are a little crazy. It can't be easy to just make six strangers feel like family, but y'all definitely did it. Every second we were here was magical and we owe that to you guys. The food, the boat, and the new friendships are incredible. Can't wait to do this with y'all again, maybe sooner than y'all would like!
xxoo
Thank you again for all the attention to detail and long hours you put in to make this experience what it is! You even found the elusive soda “squirt” on a limited resource island!
We wish you nothing but the best! If you are ever in Lake Tahoe area - please reach out so that we can host you!
Thank you for such a great time sailing, snorkeling, hiking and getting to know the USVI.
Until next time!
P.S - everything was tasty good!!
Thank you both!
Cheers to 2023!
I hope to see you again soon.
P.S - Sorry for puking all over your boat! :)
As you see my family had a great time! I most appreciate total relation, recharge and sailing household chores being our of my mind! How can I go back? LOL Best. Vacation. Ever.
Thank you!
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Good food, great times, good company!
Thank you so much for making this one of our best vacations!
Love you both!
I love you, I love you, I love you!! :)
P.S - we are beyond thankful that you welcomed us to you amazing home with so much love. The food was exceptional and the adventures snorkeling and paddle boarding were awesome!
Thank you. Thank you!
What surprised me the most about the trip was how Nikki and Scott understood each of our personalities and helped us individually have the best trip possible. I still don’t know how they did it but when I see the pictures of our trip I don’t even recognize our faces with the size of smiles we are sporting. I am well-traveled and would considered this easily one of the top 5 trips I have ever been on – frankly it could be the best.
We loved the boat – it was very clean and comfortable, had thoughtful little details throughout, and we never felt cramped. The beds were great, the hang out spaces were comfy, and I felt like I was both in someone‘s home and also a hotel. It was a really nice balance. The locations they took us to were amazing. We have been to the USVIs several times and I think our new favorite spots were Sol Seeker’s recommendations. They helped us plan our day and we all were able to partake in several activities with their help. They never made us feel rushed or uncomfortable and they were more than accommodating.
Chef Nikki even went the extra mile to create a small token/memory for our recently deceased father – it was touching and incredibly thoughtful. Captain Scott was a true sport and not only pitched in with some 10 year old’s homework but also helped us learn new games while maintaining the patience of a saint.
The food – this one I can’t write enough about. Every item she plated for us was scarfed up by a pack of wolves – it was almost embarrassing. There were fabulous tablescapes and the plating was what you would expect out of a restaurant. It baffles me how she pulled it off in her tiny kitchen. It was the little details on the food that really blew us away she knocked it out of the park. She studied our food preferences we sent beforehand, and every meal was in tune with what we had requested. The moody teenager has a “thing” with food and she even remarked how she never had eaten so much or tried so many new things. It was amazing!
When planning this trip we neglected to understand the value of the team you hire to take you on the journey. The training and certifications are nice but what it comes down to is personalities. I would imagine all the boats are lovely, any beach or snorkel spots on the islands is great, and that most of the food is good (if it wasn’t I would assume that particular charter would be out of business!). What sets Sol Seeker apart, in my opinion, is the crew. It is extraordinary how they worked with our wide range of personality types. They were empathetic, hardworking, accommodating, highly skilled in their crafts, and generally just good humans that you want to be around. They created an experience for our family that will be cherished.
Thanks much for the fun times and the knowledge!
Long live the Sol Seeker!
Say Soul.
I loved it and the good was so good and when Scott made us play showdo run it was really fun and all fish I loved
Brought together by the crew,
Coral rod and crown aligned,
By a shell in a mad design,
With a touch of earth once reached to sky,
All left along a blue coastline,
We’re out to sea and soon to find,
A rainbow sprung, to the heaven climb.
So tempest roll and dead things climb,
Break the stuff, a life of mine.
In memory haunt while love provides,
A proof that I’m alive.
Your empathy astands.
Thank you for everything and making this a fabulous vacation.
Also I appreciate the “memories! It was perfect and thank you for sharing shade runner.
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!
