Catamaran Oui Cherie

Together with my wonderful partner Nalani, Oui Cherie’s first mate and Chef, I aim to make every trip aboard feel like a true escape; safe, fun, and filled with moments you’ll want to relive again and again.

🐚 Nalani Breakell – Chef & First Mate

Growing up in my father's restaurant in North West USA , I learned early on that food is so much more than sustenance. It’s a way to bring people together, to share stories, and to create unforgettable moments. The kitchen was my first classroom, and those early lessons sparked a lifelong love for hospitality, flavor, and connection. That foundation has guided me ever since.

As Chef and First Mate aboard Oui Cherie, I bring a deep love for both culinary craft and the ocean. I’ve poured myself into this journey, not just through hands-on experience, but through training, coursework and time spent learning every detail of life on the water.

Cooking aboard is a unique challenge, but one I embrace fully, crafting meals that nourish, inspire, and celebrate the adventure of life at sea including Caribbean flavours or any of your favourites.

Beyond the galley and the helm, I’m a certified diver, a seashell collector, and a lifelong performer. I’ve been singing since I was six, and music remains one of my favorite ways to express joy and connect with others. Whether I’m exploring vibrant coral reefs below the surface or chasing golden sunsets on deck, the sea is where I feel most alive and most myself.

Our shared love of the ocean brought Michael and I together, and now it propels us forward in both our relationship and our work.

It’s our absolute pleasure to share meaningful moments in the Caribbean with guests. Join us on the luxurious Oui Cherie, where we can show you why we love what we do! Enjoy beautiful flavorful meals, snorkeling and diving in gorgeous reefs and even a sing- along. Sailing on Oui Cherie is a once in a life-time experience!
