Captain Luca Camusi
Originally from Italy, Captain Luca Camusi brings together a love of sailing, adventure, and hospitality with extensive experience aboard luxury sailing catamarans throughout the Mediterranean and Caribbean. His recent captaincy experience includes Bali and Fountaine Pajot catamarans ranging from 42 to 70 feet, giving him a strong understanding of both yacht operations and the guest-service side of a successful charter.

Before making yachting his full-time career, Luca spent six years as international cabin crew with Emirates, where he developed the warm, attentive hospitality style he now brings onboard. He enjoys being part of the guest experience, whether mixing cocktails, sharing a favorite anchorage, organizing a day on the water, or simply making sure everyone feels relaxed and at home aboard.

An avid waterman, Luca is happiest in, on, or around the ocean. He enjoys spearfishing, fishing, lobstering, freediving, scuba diving, watersports, and capturing adventures through photography and videography. As an SSI Divemaster and AIDA-certified freediver, he is an enthusiastic guide for guests who want to explore everything the Bahamas has to offer above and below the surface.

Luca holds a commercially endorsed RYA/MCA Yachtmaster Offshore certification and brings a calm, safety-conscious approach to the helm. His easygoing personality, sense of adventure, and genuine enthusiasm for creating memorable experiences make him a natural fit for charter life.

Beyond the galley, Deanne embraces the adventurous side of yacht life. She loves snorkeling, exploring new destinations, and connecting with people from different cultures. Her enthusiasm for travel and the ocean complements her welcoming personality and natural enjoyment of hospitality.

Deanne dreams of one day owning a beach house in South Africa, where she can host cooking classes and share her love of food with others.

Guest reviews

April 2026

What a great few days this has been! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the most memorable trip of a lifetime.

April 2026

Everything was great. Your hospitality, cooking, the boat, the excursions — you both are so great and fun. You were a big part of the success of our weekend. Thanks for taking such good care of us!

April 2026

What a wonderful trip! We’ve done several charter vacations and this one will be tough to beat!

Chef, your cooking was amazing and so fun that you let Syd help out in the kitchen. The drinks from the Captain were on point.

Loved all the activities — snorkeling, dinghy, e-foil, etc. — but best of all just a fun time hanging out with endless jokes.

Sorry for blowing your entire internet budget on Super Crook, but the Lego recap captured the trip perfectly!

— The Curtis Family

March 2026

Top 10 things we will miss the most when we go home:

Walking up the stairs to the amazing smells of Chef’s breakfasts and incredible fruit platters

Captain’s morning lattes

Mahjong with Chef

Squats with a view and morning group workouts

Helping plot fun content and ideas for April Fools videos

Beautiful tablescapes complete with fabulous food

Treehouse chats and laughter with the Captain

Game nights

Being cinnamon roll taste testers — all were amazing!

All the Exuma blue — the water, the skies and all the incredible views

… and so many more, too many to count — we’ll just have to come back!

March 2026

Thank you both for such a fabulous trip! We had the best week and have so many wonderful memories!

Chef — your food was absolutely out of this world and we loved it so much! We had the best time playing Mahjong together too!

We will never forget our fun-filled nights playing Salad Bowl — many fun memories will give us good laughs long after our journey has ended!

Captain — your morning lattes and evening cocktails were such a highlight of our week! Thank you so much for charting the best course.

March 2026

Thank you for all the fun you have given. We all loved the food, especially the cinnamon rolls. We loved all the places we went to see and snorkeling too. Chef cooked the best food in the world and was the nicest.

Captain was great and funny and took us to the best places. The sharks were my favorite. Thank you for being so kind and we wish you the best.”

March 2026

“Thank you for taking us on these amazing trips and excursions. The food on the boat was very good and I liked the sharks, beaches, turtles, snorkeling, and underwater caves.

My favorite food was the Nutella skillet cookies and cinnamon rolls. I also liked how you spent your free time tubing with us.

In conclusion, I had a great time on this boat.

February 2026

What an experience. The food, the adventure, absolutely on point. Each meal was amazing.

Chef, you are just the best!
Captain always crushin’ it.

— Chris & Cara

February 2026

What an amazing trip! The food was out of this world amazing! Chef, you are phenomenal and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Captain, you are amazing. You made everything we did fun. The trip actually felt like we were four couples who rented a catamaran for a week to sail the Exumas. You two were more like great friends than crew to us!

Thanks for showing us all the islands have to offer, answering our questions and getting us safely back to home port. It was an adventure we all loved and made a couple new friends in the process.

We wish you two the best in future business ventures, life, family, and making your dreams come true. No bad feedback, only good and great memories!

January 2026

Thank you so much for the most incredible trip! So grateful to get to do another charter. Chef, the food was amazing and I’m only bummed to have to go back to LA food after this. Everything tasted so good and always looked amazing and so pretty.

Captain, thank you for all the delicious drinks, taking us to snorkel/explore and for helping me figure out the hydrofoil. Every second of this trip has been so special and you both are such amazing people to be around.

What a perfect start to 2026!

— Will

January 2026

What an amazing way to start 2026! We had such a blast last year that we knew we would have another incredible week together, however it exceeded all expectations! We truly feel you are part of our family.

Chef, your food is absolutely off the charts amazing! We ate so well and loved everything so it’s hard to name my favorites however I know I will need to go on a diet when I get home. Your food is so delicious, healthy and made with love that I enjoyed it all (I didn’t want to miss anything).

Captain, your cocktails every night for sunset and your fabulous humor are so appreciated. You make everything so much fun! The laughs during Code Names were the best — I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.

Everything we did made the whole experience so memorable and you were both an inspiration for our kids as they navigate their way in the world.

Thank you for yet another wonderful charter!!! I hope we will stay in touch and see you in either France or Boulder!!!

Much love and hugs!

January 2026

Thank you both so much for another incredible charter!! We truly had the best time exploring the Exumas. I will definitely be missing your amazing food, Chef, but can’t wait to return to San Francisco and test out my sourdough making abilities. Maybe I’ll even end up at Ballymaloe :)

Captain, you never failed to entertain us all charter, from your amazing cocktails to your jokes and taking us to breathtaking places. Cheers to such an incredibly memorable charter!!

I hope we can see both of you soon (especially for another round of Codenames and to solidify our Night Bakery business plan). Have an amazing time in Utah!!

— Ella

January 2026

Thank you so much for an incredible week! I truly cannot imagine a better way to start off 2026! Every single meal was amazing, Chef — it’s going to be hard going back to my regular meals back home. I can’t wait to continue to follow along with all your recipes on Instagram.

Thank you for all the laughs, Captain, and the stellar navigation (except for the lazy river). I’ll miss playing Codenames and exploring the Bahamas. Hopefully I’ll catch you guys on the slopes in Utah!

Keep on crushing it!

— Andrew

May 2025

Our first time in the Exumas and it exceeded all of our expectations! The boat was perfect, the water was beautiful and the weather was great…. But most importantly Nik & Lily hit it out of the park! What an incredible job they both did on this charter. The food, the service, the fun - everything about them made this trip extra special! We haven’t even left the boat yet but were looking at dates for 2027 to rebook! Cant wait to see you guys again in the future.

Guest review

April 2025

We traded the money for the memories and what incredible memories we have now made. This journey through the Exumas was nothing short of magical. From swimming with the nurse sharks, feeding iguanas, strolling powdery sandbars, and amazing food; every moment was a dream come true.

Captain Nik and Chef Lily- Your hospitality, heart, and humor made this amazing adventure that much more extraordinary. The food, the cocktails, and attention to detail was top tier. We felt the love from the beginning. We will always remember our beach lunches and all our other incredible meals.

There are good ships and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea, but the best ships are friendships, and may they always be.

Thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime for our family.

March 2025

Still in awe of our unforgettable time in the Exumas aboard Location with Nik and Lily. It was everything I’d hoped for and more- filled with countless “pinch me” moments that I’ll cherish forever! Fro the weather to the incredible food and amazing company, everything was perfect. Already dreaming about the next time we can return and re-life it all over again.

Thank you Nik and Lily for going above and beyond in every way. We were so beyond impressed with your work, but what we will cherish most is the bond we’ve formed with you both. Grateful to now call you friends.

Nik and Lily, you are AMAZING! Everything was so beyond our expectations from the itinerary, cocktails, and of corse the food. Lily you are such an amazing chef and I look forward to following along with your amazing journey. The boat is incredible, so much more room than I anticipated. Nik your personality made the trip for me. Best ab workout of my life this week from the laughter. Your hospitality made this trip one wee will never forget. I cant wait to come back!
Courtney

February 2025

What a week! This is our second trip aboard and it WILL NOT BE OUR LAST! This week was all first and we had such a blast. It was amazing to see the crew in a completely different element from when I came aboard with my family and how well they adapted to the different atmosphere of our group. Lily our food & service is beyond! You have such an amazing talent. I cant decide what meal was my favorite as they just kept shocking me. Nik you were such a trouper putting up with us girls. You kept us safe, informed, and so entertained. WE LOVED EVERY SINGLE MINUTE! You both are truly the best and we love spending the week with you both.

Dear Nik & Lily,

We can't thank you enough for leading us on such a magical adventure in the Bahamas. The boat was beautiful, the weather amazing, and the sights completely beautiful, but it may be the sincere energy, enthusiasm, and kindness from the two of you that we remember and appreciate the most. We recognize all the preparation and effort it takes to deliver such wonderful food and exciting excursions - you guys do it all with grace and provide such lovely company all the while, even when we threw curve balls like lost luggage and had to reach friends. We wish you both all the best and look forward to our paths crossing again in the future!

Thanks for a great trip! -George

Your love of fabulous food is evident in everything you do! We had the best week with you two! Thank you thank you! - Julie

Nik & Lily,

What a fantastic adventure! Thanks for the amazing food, wine and cocktails. Love the attention to detail, great swimming and snorkeling, the tender in the waves, the "shark attacks" cappuccino, sausage rolls, lobster, the tiny snapper! Lot's of "wine o'clock" anytime of the day, late night drinks at 9pm! Lots of laughing! Loved it all!! Best Penny

Thank you for a lovely week! Obviously when you book a5 night private trip on a private catamaran for a work associates, your hopes and expectations are very high. A little trip intimidation about spending that many days with work people. You two so very much exceeded our hopes and expectations. I never dreamed we'd have a gourmet spread for all three meals a day. Homemade desserts each evening served with a smile - you met us when we came back from our excursions with a snack. Thank you.

Each days excursions were well thought out. Something new to see and do each day. You both have the perfect temperament to entertain and we pushed it hard from early morning to late at night. Nick was so patient and accommodating with all our various requests and different levels of abilities.

I can't say what was my favorite activity because they were all so different and interesting. Thank you for a week I'll never forget. Please, please come visit us in Kansas. Not as beautiful as your Caribbean, but would be a great place for you to base a Midwest tourist trip from.

Sincerely, Nancy & Tim

Thank you so much for an incredible week on the Location. The views were great and the rides were smooth. All our meals were fantastic and appreciate all the kindness extended to the children! Thank you so much for your great hospitality. The meals were incredible, we will be working those off for the entire year. You both were great with the children and Benjamin loved seeing how to run the ship. Thank you again - you both are awesome and you helped make this trip incredible!

Trip of a Lifetime

Words cannot describe what a fantastic week this was. Snorkeling, sailing, drinking and story telling were all top-notch. Nik - thank you for your guides and daily drinks. Nik - thank you for all of the delicious food and conversation. These memories will last a lifetime!

Spending a week with you on Location was better than imagined. Both our families were able to see the Exumas in a way many can't, eat world class food and enjoy the time together that is hard to find nowdays.

The catamaran was ideal in every way and the tender made little trips off the boat fantastic.

We even caught a grouper!

The boat was ideal, but adding you two to the trip makes it worth doing again! Thanks for everything you did!
