Welcome to Newport Living and Lifestyles
Travel Tuesdays
brought to you by B&B Yacht Charters, Inc.
with President and co-host Jennifer Saia.
Hi everyone! Social distancing! Check out my anchors !
Love it!
Today we’re going to feature
Motor Yacht CRU and Captain Nick Kincaid.
We’re so happy to have you on board
This is a 96 foot Westship and she’s been so popular in the Caribbean.
You’re in Florida now and headed to the Chesapeake.
I want you to tell us why we should actually charter with you and your crew this summer.
We are go getters, of course, we like to do a lot of activities keeping the kids busy.
Everyone on the boat has their own special talents.
We take a lot of pride in the crew that’s that’s on the boat, good to be a part of this team.
What are some of the activities and amenities that you guys offer on your boat?
We make sure that they get the best experience.
We tow a 33 foot Intrepid fully rigged for fishing.
It carries inflatable toys, we have wake boards.
Then when we get onto the big vessel CRU, we have two jet ski’s
We have three inflatable islands, we have four paddle boards
We also have a kayak that can seat either two adults or three kids.
Up on the upper deck, it’s a nice patio sun deck area where
you can grill out and lots of room to
congregate and and enjoy barbecue on a sunny day
We put together theme nights that’s a lot of fun!
Yes we love theme nights!
Give us a good story
Our Christmas charter is always a big one for theme night
Everyone dressed up as elves and
I dressed up as Santa and our charter guests were sitting there wake boarding.
We had one of them wearing a Santa costume and they loved it
I’ve seen the Murder Mystery or Pirates of the Caribbean.
Anything you can dream of, we can execute it.
What if there’s an inclement day?
Then you have the amenities inside. Everything you could ask for like Direct TV & internet
Then we also provide some fine dining on the interior with Alex Decara as our chef
The boat can still move and take people to shore in different areas.
We go up to Newport and all New England this season.
As soon as things open up then maybe go through a mansion tour
or fine restaurants that are here
even though we have the best one on board
but people like to get out a little bit.
You take people out to fish. Can they bring it back and eat what you catch?
oh absolutely
That’s how I started my career as a Captain.
I started out on fishing boats.
When we were down in the Caribbean.
We would take the guests fishing.
We’d catch a nice big wahoo or tuna and
I’d fillet it right there in front of them
and then Alex would have it cooked for lunch.
There’s been times where people wanted to eat out and
they had Alex’s cooking day one and
they just canceled all their reservations.
We get preference sheets on what they like to eat.
Alex will cater and change her whole plan
on how she’s going to execute meals.
based on their dietary requirements.
Custom Custom Custom. That’s really the theme of chartering.
What would people need to be prepared to bring for a yacht charter
as opposed to other vacations they may go on.
Everything that they’re really going to need, we have.
You’ve got toiletries, you’ve got blow dryers, you’ve got sunscreens,
Everything, All of that.
You’ve got towels, you’ve got incredible sheets and all your amenities
that you’ll expect at a five-star hotel.
How far can one go and back one a tank of gas (fuel)
On charter the longest leg we’ve done was maybe 100 miles but
we can go on one tank of gas 1200 miles
so people can see a lot!
Generally when we do trips we’ll go about 40 miles
We’d like to have a nice summer up here in Newport and
the islands right off the coast Nantucket, Martha’s Vineyard, Block Island
and have clients go between them by private yachts
Actually, I think this season instead of going traveling abroad or
places that you’re going to go with more people
you want to go on a smaller vacation where it’s low risk
It’s almost like one to one.
We’ve got 6 guests & 4 crew
This is an intimate experience.
Not for the masses and it’s still affordable.
What did you do down in St Martin while you were quarantining?
A lot of projects.
We’ve been improving everything,
making sure everything’s perfect.
We put our hearts into this boat.
They can reach you through
Jennifer Saia of B&B Yacht Charters, Inc.
and book anything, put anything together and
customize an amazing trip.
Yes, Absolutely
We are looking forward to the Chesapeake and
the New England itineraries and
then we will head back down south.
We look forward to seeing more of your trips and meeting your crew.
Thanks so much Jennifer for hosting Travel Tuesdays.
Nice to meet you Nick
Nice to meet you as well
We look forward to seeing you
on Newport Living and Lifestyles
Thanks everybody

Welcome to Newport Living and Lifestyles
I’m Christon and joining me today is
Katie Annulli from KMA Organizing. Welcome.
Thank you
Also SIREN Women’s Cooperative member.
Yep
Welcome to La Sirena
Thank you, I appreciate it.
We are doing a series of boat interviews where we get to know some of the
SIREN members businesses and a little bit more on a personal level.
How exciting, tell us about your business.
I am a professional organizer. I have a residential side of my business as well as I work with small businesses.
I help people to organize their homes from kitchens, closets,
basements , garages, I help people with moves, purging and packing for a move
as well as unpacking and setting up their house when they get to their new place.
Then on the small business side I do bookkeeping, data based organizing,
digital files, processes, productivity, kind of just getting the business flowing
so that they’re in a good place and can run it more smoothly.
What about a home office?
Yeah , I definitely organize home offices too
You need a space where you feel comfortable going in to do your taxes, right?
Definitely, Yes
Thanks for sharing that with us
How can they find you?
My website is KMAOrganizing.com
I also have a Facebook as well as Instagram and they’re both
@KMAorganizing
Did this startup is a hobby or passion for you
or do you have other things that you get lost in ?
I do get very lost in organizing. I find it very fun and I often lose time with my clients.
Another hobby that I really do like lose time in is sewing.
I started to sew earlier this year and I really enjoy being able to make something. .
It’s a very detail-oriented hobby so I like it, it fits my personality.
You get sucked into it, Wow, well I have some dress ideas, maybe we can….
I don’t know if I am there yet.
Okay, so when did you move to Aquidneck Island?
I actually live in Warren but I’ve lived in Rhode Island for about a year and a half.
What is it that you like about Aquidneck Island?
I love the landscape, I moved to Rhode Island to be closer to the ocean
and I get to see the ocean every single day so I love that.
It is really beautiful, is it not
What is something that motivated you or pushed you out of your comfort zone?
I would say yoga. I’m a big yogee and and yoga has changed my life.
I’ve been practicing for about 10 years and it has taught me a lot of patience and
perseverance and through my breath, I’ve been able to get through a
lot of challenging situations off the mat.
I want to ask you so many more questions.
We SIREN’s have set a protocol with very SIRENista questions.
Did any women in the world help inspire you to become the person that you are today?
Yes, definitely, I have… it’s hard to think about just three women,
because there are a lot of people that really do inspire me.
I would say my mom first of all,
Yes, They always do, Its almost like an inside unspoken rule.
She did instill a love for order and organization in me.
She also is just so unselfishly loving and supportive and it’s really inspiring.
I’d say someone else Christa Ripa
who’s one of my clients, she’s a virtual client of mine. She has a branding and
marketing company in San Francisco and she has really taught me a lot about
building a business based on something that you’re passionate about and making
something you’re passionate about into a successful business.
Also balancing self-care and having fun as well as running a business so
she’s been very helpful to me.
Work hard , play Hard.
Then I’ll say Michelle Obama as my last one.
What about Michelle Obama?
She’s had a different upbringing than a lot of people and she’s been very
successful in our country obviously and supporting of President Obama.
Yeah, Definitely , did you read the book?
I did
It was really enlightening.
If you were going to go back in time and give yourself a nugget of advice when you were younger, what would it be?
I would say have more confidence in yourself and your ideas and
you can achieve what you put your mind to.
I love that. Thanks so much for joining us
Thank you
on La Sirena today and telling us your SIRE story.

We will have to have you back in the near future and we look forward to seeing you on
