A solid 10 out of 10 for you guys!! You guys accommodated our every need. We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed getting to know you both. We will definitely be requesting you guys for our next BVI charter.
Gino, you really impressed us with your skills and knowledge despite your age.
Nikita, I assumes the meals would be tasty, but they were delicious!! And so beautifully presented!
You both have such sweet spirits and you made our little last-minute getaway truly special
Thank you both!!

Your Grace and Hospitality - Top Notch
For my 60th, I envisioned a BVI cruise with my family filled with fun, sun and rum.
You delivered so much more.
Your grace and hospitality is top notch and you made us easily comfortable on our floating home for the week. And it felt like we all became a family which was the best part!
Captain Gino - we were all impressed with your maturity and master seamanship.
First Mate/Chef Nikita - what a chef and mixologist!!! You kept us well fed and full of rum, every meal a delight indeed.
You Two - are quite a pair and it was lovely to see how well you communicate with each other and work as a team. Well Done!!
Today is our last morning, last sunrise, last snorkel, last delish breakfast.... and we are so full of great memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you for all that you did to make this week so so special.... Perfect!
Ben, Beth, Emma, Zoe, Andrew, and Ryan
We Will Be Back!!!
I cannot even explain the amazing experience we had on board with Gino and Nikita!
To be honest, it wasn’t the boat.. it was all Gino and Nikita that made this trip special.
From Gino taking us to some breathtaking places and showing us reefs and islands, to Nikita’s stunning talent in the galley. I have truly never had better food prepared on a trip. Nikita’s talent is second to none, and I have traveled the world.
We WILL BE BACK!
Keeley B.

A crew that is Kind, generous, polite, talented, and so fun to be with - could not get any better! Beautiful week together! Thank you! thank you! Xo

Highly Skilled And An Absolute Joy To Be With!
If you choose to charter, you need to make it onto Nikita and Gino’s charter!!!
They are highly skilled in cooking and captaining and take care of their guests with pleasure and a positive attitude! Nikita went to great lengths all week to make sure our whole group was happy with our complex dietary restrictions and Gino did the same to make sure we were comfortable with the route. His sailing skills made us all feel at ease navigating us through the islands and taking us to all the beautiful spots! They are both an absolute joy to spend a week with! Thank you Nikita for the incredible FROM SCRATCH birthday cake for my mom!!!
Marissa C.
Nothing Short Of Spectacular!
My experience with Gino and Nikita was nothing short of spectacular. From the beginning of our charter they were both incredibly kind and hospitable. Nikita’s food was absolutely amazing, and she consistently surprised us with her amazing creativity in the kitchen, we had amazing dishes all throughout the week.
Gino made the experience so amazing with his fantastic attitude and optimism. He made such a great effort to make our experience first class and one of a kind, taking us to the most beautiful islands, coves, and beaches during our trip.
I’m leaving this trip gaining so many amazing memories and two new friends! Thank you so much Gino and Nikita! We love you guys!

A Vacation Dreams Are Made Of!
We had the most amazing vacation on Aquanimity!!!
Gino and Nikita are first class hosts!!! The food, the service, and the hospitality are beyond what I could have expected! This was a vacation dreams are made of!! We will definitely be back!! I highly recommend this crew!
Tullie R.
Awesome
2nd time “Catting” thru the BVIs. Changes in latitude is an awesome boat with a great layout.
However, it’s the SERVICE that separates this trip from our previous trip - which was also great as well! Gino & Kita are an incredible team. Never felt unsafe wherever we went and ate as if we were in a fine dining restaurant.
Gino/Kita, may the BVI breezes always be soft and on your back!
— Byron & Linda
Fantastic Vacation!
We were 8 of 32 friends to charter a boat simultaneously. We got Gino & Kita, which are the BEST of the best! We’ve chartered before & Gino & Kita have raised the bar. Great captain & sailing skills & excellent culinary work! We wish we could adopt them both. Thanks for a fantastic vacation!

Magic!
Gino & Kita
You are magic.
Every detail is carefully planned before we even know there is a detail to consider. Your professional connection is like no other. Your personal connection creates a warm, family-like atmosphere. Your maturity in all situations is amazing. We will certainly not “gate-keep” about your boat, company, and you two amazing young people, even though we would love to keep you our secret.
Thank you for the most amazing week. Doing the same trip one year after our first amazing charter was risky because our group of 8 enjoyed last year so much. You two kicked it up 10 notches. We appreciate your hard work & hospitality forever!
♡ Sam & Chrissy T.
So Thankful
Gino & Kita,
What a fantastic trip for us! Thank you for making sure we always had what we needed or wanted. You both are very professional. We enjoyed Kita’s fabulous meals that clearly were well thought out and beautifully presented! I know we will talk about this trip for years to come & be so thankful for this trip.
Thank you again for making our catamaran trip such a memorable one! We appreciate all your time & efforts!
May God bless you

Blissful!
Gino & Kita,
Thank you for a relaxing, memorable trip for our family. You took wonderful care of all of us. You even made having a toddler on the boat easy and fun! The quiet anchorages were blissful, the food was great, and overall this experience was a joy, because of the great care you took of us all!
Thanks again!

Thank you for such a wonderful week! You gave us new experiences that we will never forget! This is charter #7 for us and you are raising the bar!
Food was FABULOUS and drinks were perfect!
We all loved the Sunchill & the scooters. The Bubbles was so cool and one of our favorite new experiences!
Best wishes for a continued wonderful season!
Todd, Marisa, Alana & Anastyn

You guys made our family vacation the best ever. You both went above and beyond in everything you do!
A special thank you for being so kind to Elsie, having her sail the boat & playing chess.
Nikita, the food was like a Michelin 5 star restaurant, you are a fantastic cook!
Gino and Nikita your attention to detail was outstanding.
Thanks,

Broker Review
This was not our first charter.
Changes in Latitudes was the nicest charter boat we have ever sailed on. I particularly, love the seating area in the bow. Many seating options so that people can choose their own space or be together.
Gino and Nikita are the best crew we have ever had. They literally hit it out of the park! We had many planned activities, land spots to explore and snorkeling stops. Nikita’s meals were literally Michelin worthy! We felt we were dining in a fine restaurant. She is an incredible chef. The way she put foods together for both flavor and presentation was outstanding.
Gino and Nikita are genuinely good people. They were both wonderful to my granddaughter, Elsie. Elsie celebrated her 7th birthday on the boat. The birthday day started at breakfast with decorations and a birthday tiara. The taxi driver blared a happy birthday song through his sound system. We went to The a pirate show at Leverick bay. Elsie won the conch blowing contest for her age group. The pirate and the audience sang Happy Birthday Elsie. And then back to the boat for a birthday dinner with cake. No ordinary cake, but a cake with whipped cream frosting and filling with lots of strawberries!
Look No Further!
If you’re looking for an amazing cruise with an exceptional captain and chef, stop looking — Gino and Kita are the crew you want.
We spent eight unforgettable days aboard Changes in Latitude, and from start to finish, Gino and Kita made the experience relaxed, fun, safe, and truly special. Gino was an outstanding captain: knowledgeable, calm, flexible, and always focused on making sure we had the best possible trip.
Kita was equally incredible, creating delicious meals that somehow got better every day and making everything feel warm and welcoming. Together, they were the perfect team — professional, personable, and attentive without ever making the trip feel over-planned.
We left with great memories, full hearts, and full stomachs, and we would absolutely recommend Gino, Kita, and Changes in Latitude to anyone looking for a fantastic catamaran cruise in the BVI.
Our Second Trip - And Will be A Third
