MAKAYABELLA,
65' CNB sloop

 Nicholson's own Team Cousteau!  Great with kids and active families!

A broker who cruised with Captain John Nicholson (no relation, no connection) and chef/First Mate Sue Bruce last December said , "They know and love the Grenadines like nobody else.  They are especially adept at finding specific species of fish and coral, taking their guests to those special secret spots."  I wanted to see an octopus.  Sue took me to a specific outcropping of coral and pointed to a rock.  I stared and stared and saw absolutely nothing.  Then all of a sudden the top of the rock moved and this HUGE octopus had been splayed out over the top of the rock - amazing camouflage those animals have!  I never would have seen it.  Ditto with a seahorse in Admiralty Bay, Bequia."
