'RIPPLE' is a Sailing Catamaran, accommodating up to 8 guests, available for crewed charter with a home base in St. Thomas, USVI.

Ripple is a 2016 Lagoon 620 catamaran featuring Lagoon's stylishly upgraded Essence decor. The reputation of this yacht as the pinnacle of style and luxury is well earned. If you are looking to expand your horizons, and explore the world in new ways you have never imagined, then welcome to the experience of comfort and class that is Ripple.

Ripple’s design is perfect for socializing with seemingly endless space both above and below deck. This yacht shows why it is the gold standard as the setting for a perfect guest experience. With multiple dining, living, sunbathing, and lounge areas to choose from, you will always have the space to sneak away for some shade or to read a book.... or you can choose to get as involved as you desire. As a larger catamaran, you can count on greater comfort while at sea, and a second-to-none sailing performance during navigations. The salon is extremely spacious, thanks to well thought out style and intelligent design with large windows ensuring all are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery from the salon in 360 degrees. It features a U-shaped sofa for lounging, and two adjustable tables that can be used as coffee tables or a dining table which can accommodate all guests comfortably.

The exterior of Ripple is equally impressive. You can relax on the perfectly configured deck spaces that are equipped with areas for socializing without sacrificing privacy. There is no better way to revel under the Caribbean sun. The covered flybridge is home to a huge, comfortable, and sleek sofa and additional bench seat. It is the perfect space to enjoy the beautiful views, gorgeous sunsets, and witness the amazing milky way while at anchor. The comfort and views of the flybridge make it the best place to be while underway.

The boat is fully equipped with snorkeling and scuba diving gear and an abundance of water toys. For guests interested in scuba diving, Ripple offers a premium off-the-boat diving experience. You couldn’t make a better choice as she comes with a complete assortment of top-of-the-line equipment. The captain is a full certified Dive master who loves to share his passion for diving with his guests. After an adventure filled day of water sports, swimming, diving, or on-shore excursions, enjoy the well-lit and large cockpit dining area as you enjoy a world class meal with your friends and family. Enjoy a handmade cocktail prepared just for you by your professional crew right there at the cockpit bar. Top-tier service is central to life onboard Ripple, and only adds to the exclusive feel of this impressive experience. You will know the meaning of peace, relaxation and class when you charter with us on Ripple. Swimming in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean you'll wonder why you never did this sooner.

Ripple hosts up to 8 guests in four queen-sized, air-conditioned cabins. Each cabin has its own, private ensuite bathroom with a separate shower. The master suite is elegant and roomy with excellent storage space, a desk, small sitting area, and its large ensuite bathroom with large glass shower stall and separate double vanity area. The master also has a private cockpit entryway allowing easy access to the aft deck for slipping out to gaze at the stars. This master cabin also has direct private access to the main salon.

Review to Broker

My wife Judy, Three sons and their wives and myself had a fantastic vacation on our
catamaran cruise aboard Ripple 11-18 January 2025. This was our third catamaran
chartered cruise with our broker over the past 15 years and was by far the
best trip of all!!

Our Ripple crew of three was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Captain Mark
has impressive sailing and diving experience and our party of eight quickly trusted
his leadership. He managed his assistant crew members in exemplary manner with
respect and kindness. He demonstrated total commitment to the safety and comfort
of his guests aboard Ripple. For example, without any prompting or requests from
our party, he quietly traveled by dinghy to shore on two mornings to restock beer
for the ship’s bar without additional charge or negative judgment. The scuba diving
opportunity for two of us who are certified divers was expected but the Discover
Diving course under Mark’s tutelage as a PADI Divemaster for our middle son Joe
was unexpected and gave him a wonderful introduction to scuba during three dives
on this trip. He was thrilled to have this opportunity and experience.

First mate and Chef Michael did a phenomenal job in the galley with sumptuous and
satisfying meals for us and he navigated the vegetarian requirements of two of our
daughter in laws without a glitch. He provisioned the charter perfectly according to
our menu preferences and his own extensive experience. Unplanned highlight
culinary experiences include fresh sashimi from fresh caught fish
on an outrigger trawling line and lure as well as fresh baked Sourdough bread
accompanying several meals! Jeanique is a friendly and patient Second Mate and
First Rate Bartender and was extremely attentive to us, never leaving an empty
glass during evening happy hours.

Owner operator Mark Russell maintained an impeccably clean and comfortable yacht
with excellent ventilation with well functioning air conditioning on warm nights and
open hatches and sea breezes in the mornings. Our sailing itinerary was perfect as
we reached from St Thomas and St John USVI, through BVI Norman, Cooper and
Virgin Gorda Islands and out to and back from Anegada then to Jost Van Dyke and
final night on the water off St John. Judy and I agree with our trip highlights being
touring the north shore beaches of Anegada on the Mini Mokes followed by a tasty
lobster dinner and the awesome hike and swim in the Bubbly Pool at Jost.

This family vacation exceeded our expectations and made wonderful lifelong
memories. Even after arriving home the crew of Ripple reached out to us sending
additional photos and trip highlight video. Our broker provided excellent
service and prompt response to any questions we had.
Regards,
Pete and Judy N

Exactly What We Dreamed It Would Be!

Our stay on Ripple was exactly what we dreamed it would be. It was both relaxing and fun. The boat was beautiful, spacious, impeccably clean and equipped with everything from reef-safe sunscreen to scuba equipment fitted for our family, and every kind of toy in between. There were plenty of places for quiet, private conversations for 2, or comfortable, whole-family gatherings (we were 6 adults). (The fact that everyone had their own en suite bathrooms/showers was a huge selling point for us, too!)

Our Captain, Mark, was knowledgeable, professional, safety-conscious — but most of all, FUN! We left the itinerary up to him and he delivered the best scuba and snorkeling spots at the right times for great visibility considering how the ocean floor can get churned up with weather. He made sure that everyone was having fun, prepared specialty cocktails (e.g., "Slippery Ripple” and “A Ripple In Time,” etc.), but was always cognizant of the line between stimulating activities and restful relaxation - both of which were needed by our group - and he always read the situations/moods perfectly.

Part of being completely relaxed and totally spoiled is not having to do so much as to even DECIDE what to have for dinner. Having received all of our preferences and aversions, Chef Nicole surprised us 4 times a day with meals perfectly catered to each of our palates - which was not easy as our preferences were varied, including one hard-core Vegan. Everything was super-fresh, beautifully presented, and marvelously delicious. I wish I could have taken her home! Her genuinely happy disposition proved that she was doing what she loved to do - and it couldn’t have been more appreciated by our group.

We have been to the US/BVI several times for bareboat and crewed charters — and cannot recommend this boat or the crew more highly.

Charter Feedback

Hi All,

The Nowotarski's submitted an excellent review for Ripple (see below). Mark, thank you to you and your crew for taking such great care of them. I hold Ripple in the highest regard and this feedback only reinforced that sentiment.

Until next time, be well!
