JABBERWOCKY Crew Profile
Captain Nick Middleton and his wife Kaye, your hosts and the owners of Jabberwocky, have a combined 55 years of sailing. Starting in the waters of their native England, together they have sailed the rocky coastlines and islands of Greece and Turkey, the craggy islands along the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia, Sydney Harbor – competing with water taxis and busy traffic, the Whitsunday Islands of Australia’s east coast, the coral reefs of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean and the Caribbean Islands from the BVI to the Grenadines. After retiring recently they have settled in Antigua to concentrate on their first love – sailing.
Nick was an English lawyer for many years. He is an experienced yachtsman who has sailed for more than thirty years and trained with the Royal Yachting Association of Great Britain (RYA), the most internationally recognized sailing authority in the world. He is a sports car enthusiast – MG’s and TVR’s – and enjoys snorkeling, star gazing, film of the 50’s and 60’s, kite flying, travel and reading.
Kaye’s passion for cooking and entertaining comes alive on JABBERWOCKY. With a background in sales and marketing, she is intent on being the perfect hostess and offering the very best service to her guests. Kaye has attended cookery schools at Fishworks and with French Chef Extraordinaire, Raymond Blanc. She offers freshly prepared cuisine in Caribbean, continental European and English styles, using the freshest produce available. In fact, most of the fresh herbs she uses to enhance fish and chicken come from Kaye’s own garden. Having chartered themselves for twenty years, Nick and Kaye offer a combination of firsthand experience and enthusiasm. They welcome children over the age of six and readily encourage them to help with sailing. There are swimming ‘noodles’ and child-sized snorkel gear for the ‘water babies’ and buckets, sand shovels and kites for fun at the beach. They are both very safety conscious and are trained and qualified by the RYA in emergency procedures and first aid.
The motto on JABBERWOCKY is ‘Carpe Diem’ and Nick and Kaye invite you to ‘Seize the Day’ and join them aboard for the trip of a lifetime.

Everything was great. Crew was very nice husband and wife team. Food was excellent, snorkeling great. Only one day of scuba, but they did not know we were looking to do it multiple times.

Thank You so much for amazing food and sailing lessons! We had a great time relaxing and learning. I loved Green Island and the picnic on Great Bird Island. All you efforts made this trip one we will never forget. Take care and hopefully we will see you again one day.

Dear Kaye and Nick
Thank You so very much for making our first sailing week more wonderful than we ever could have imagined.
Keith and Bob now know a bit about sailing, Laurel and I are still “Rookie Winch Wenches”
Every day was better than the day before. Our final night picnic on the beach we will never forget.
You worked so very hard to make it as special as it was – sunsets, stars at night, snorkelling, the whole thing.
Enjoy your days on this beautiful island, we just wish we were here with you – our memories and pictures will bring us back.
Always
Laurel, Keith, (Bootstrap) Bob and Patty Cleveland Ohio USA

Absolutely fantastic experience!(After buying Jabberwocky in the summer of 2006, the Middletons ‘tested the waters’ of chartering by doing day sails for local hotels. The following comments are from day sail guests.)
Summer 2006
THANK YOU for making our holiday complete. Faye, now known as ‘Dinghy Demon’, has found a new vocation in life! And, it made Abby’s holiday swimming with turtles in Carlisle Bay. Colin (as you know) was totally captivated by the sailing and I have a tan the envy of all my friends at home.
Look forward to seeing you again next year on Jabberwocky!
