MEET YOUR CREW:
Captain: Christian Ferree
Chef: Nicola (Nix) Brook

Christian grew up in the UK with an adventurous spirit that led him to the slopes of Chamonix, where he immersed himself in skiing, climbing, and biking. Summers were spent guiding tours through the Alps, while winters were dedicated to teaching skiing. His passion for the outdoors evolved into a career as a backcountry guide and mountain leader, creating trekking and mountain biking expeditions in the Himalayas and the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. These experiences ignited his love for discovering local cultures, meeting new people, and embracing life in the moment.
Though Christian first learned to sail with his family, he entered the yachting industry later in life, driven by a desire to see as much of the world as possible. To date, he has sailed nearly every ocean and logged over 75,000 nautical miles, including a circumnavigation as part of the Oyster World Rally. Holding an RYA 200T Yachtmaster License, Christian is passionate about creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for everyone onboard, always celebrating the little moments along the way.

Nix Brook, originally from Yorkshire, UK, discovered her love for sailing at just eight years old. By her teens, she was representing Team GBR in dinghy and keelboat racing. With a degree in textile design, Nix began her career in the superyacht industry as an interior designer. However, her adventurous spirit and love of the sea soon led her to pursue life as yacht crew. She has since raced on classic sailing yachts, worked aboard 40m sailing yachts, and joined the Oyster World Rally in 2024/25.
Alongside her sailing career, Nix is a qualified yoga teacher and Breathwork coach who brings her passion for wellbeing into everything she does—especially her food. Her cooking is colorful, nourishing, and full of creativity, offering guests a balance of flavor and wellness. Onboard, Nix creates a retreat-like atmosphere, combining delicious meals with opportunities for yoga, meditation, and relaxation so guests leave their charter refreshed and recharged.

Christian and Nix are looking forward to hosting you onboard Ether and giving you the best time in the beautiful Virgin Islands.
