About Crewed Catamaran NICE AFT TOO
NICE AFT TOO is a Leopard 45 catamaran purpose-built for discerning charterers seeking refined Caribbean exploration. Launched in 2018, she accommodates eight guests across four queen cabins, each with private en-suite facilities. The vessel balances performance with domestic comfort, offering generous foredeck lounging with sun pads and a flybridge dining area commanding 360-degree views across the turquoise shallows.
Your voyage is helmed by Captain Hubert 'Shorty' Logan, a dive-certified guide from Ambergris Caye with deep expertise in Belize's reef systems and marine environment. Chef and First Mate Kimberly, with eight years of yachting pedigree, sources ingredients locally to craft inventive Caribbean cuisine. Together, they transform each day into a bespoke narrative of diving, island exploration, and culinary discovery.
Onboard amenities include a 15 HP tender, two stand-up paddleboards, two-person kayaks, full snorkelling and fishing equipment, and comprehensive beach gear. The catamaran's shallow draft opens access to protected anchorages around Goff's Caye, the Drowned Cayes, and Caye Caulker, where you'll find pristine sand banks and vibrant reef dives minutes from the hull.

The Charter Experience
A week aboard NICE AFT TOO unfolds as a sequence of intimate moments rather than rushed tourism. Mornings begin with coffee on the foredeck whilst Captain Shorty navigates toward lesser-known dive sites, or you might paddle kayaks into mangrove channels searching for manatees and permit fish. Afternoons reward you with alfresco dinners prepared by Chef Kimberly, served on the flybridge as the sun dissolves across the cayes. Evenings return you to your cabin's quiet sanctuary, where the Caribbean rhythm carries you to sleep. The crew's local knowledge and attentive service mean every itinerary detail is negotiated in real time, adapting to weather, wildlife sightings, and your own appetite for adventure or repose.
Suggested Itinerary
A typical seven-day itinerary departs from Cucumber Beach Marina or San Pedro, weaving through North Belize's most secluded anchorages. Day one often includes a shallow-water orientation and lunch at Caye Caulker's central split. Subsequent days rotate between Gallow's Reef (renowned for large pelagics and coral gardens), the Drowned Cayes (white-sand shallows perfect for families), and St. George's Caye (historic and sheltered). Chef Kimberly sources fresh seafood and local produce at supply stops, creating menus that reflect the day's catch and your preferences. Captain Shorty times reef visits with tide and weather, maximising underwater visibility whilst ensuring safe anchorages for evening relaxation.
