Our take: Pura Vida

Pura Vida, a well-appointed sailing catamaran, is a great choice for up to six guests looking for a mix of relaxation and adventure in the USVI/BVI. It features three queen cabins with ensuite facilities, AC, and multiple lounging areas. The yacht carries a solid selection of water toys, including a Bote dock and a subwing, ensuring plenty of fun on the water.

Matthew and Klarisse are a South African couple bringing fresh energy and professionalism to their first season as a charter team in the Virgin Islands.

Matthew, an RYA Yachtmaster, grew up on South Africa’s Wild Coast and began crossing the Indian Ocean at age 12, later gaining extensive experience sailing in Thailand and Malaysia.

Klarisse, raised in South Africa, discovered her passion for cooking early in life and later worked in Cape Town’s hospitality scene. She also has experience as the sole stewardess on a 60ft superyacht, developing strong service and guest-care skills. Creative and warm, she brings thoughtful, flavorful meals to every charter.

This Was Fabulous

This was fabulous. We couldn't go ashore because of bird flu in the whitsunday Islands, but we were taken in so close to so many birds that it was incredible. A very skilful captain!  James was excellent in explaining the trip and his knowledge is vast. He became the focus of one young man with learning difficulties and he was so good with him. It was a pleasure to watch the young man enjoying himself with James giving him so much attention.  I could do this over and over again.
