True Story Description and Charter Summary Information
True Story is a Fountaine Pajot Victoria 67. Built and launched in 2017. She is an excellent addition to Fountaine Pajot’s top-of-the-line luxury cruising cats and is considered the Flagship Class of Fountaine Pajot's offerings. She’s sleek, elegant, and extremely spacious with an overall length of 67 feet and a beam of 31 feet. She is truly the ultimate in cruising comfort.
The magnificent flybridge with bimini represents the intersection of comfort and design and can be accessed from the cockpit by staircases on both sides. For guests who have come to relax, the seating area offers the luxurious comfort they seek, featuring benches, side tables, a relaxing sofa, and the convenience of a wet bar. The sizable bimini provides a large area of escape from the sun for those who want some shade, and there is integrated lighting for evening cocktails. This can all be enjoyed as amazing views of the surrounding scenery slowly drift by.
The large aft deck is shaded by the flybridge overhead, and provides additional comfortable lounging spaces, as well as an elegant setting for formal dining. Two large, sumptuous pads in addition to a full aft sunbed, accent the ambiance, and are ideal spaces for relaxation at any time of day.
A step through the glass doors into the salon reveals a spacious and comfortable area to entertain, or just relax in air-conditioned comfort if so desired. The open galley is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and kitchenware and the crew is always on hand to provide top quality service.
You couldn’t make a better choice as she comes with a complete assortment of top-of-the-line water toys and entertainment options that will keep the entire family satisfied.

Our take: True Story
True Story offers the kind of elegant, confident charter experience that feels refined without trying too hard. This 67’ Fountaine Pajot offers generous spaces, quality finishes, and a layout that works beautifully for groups or families. The flybridge is a guest favorite—partially covered for that perfect mix of sun and shade—with a bar and enough room to spread out and soak in the views.
What really elevates the experience, though, is the crew. Martin and Tamara bring a seasoned yet warm energy to every charter. Martin’s years as both chef and skipper show in his attention to detail and calm presence, while Tamara shines in the galley with fresh, thoughtful menus and a love for local ingredients. They’ve built their life around the ocean and it shows. Add in the rare king-to-twin convertible cabin alongside the king master and two queens, and True Story becomes a versatile pick for those who want both polish and personality.

Mike and Julie

Captain
Mike Marier
Mike and Julie met soon after high school and have been inseparable ever since. While raising their family, Mike & Julie took family vacations up north which always meant time on water boating, fishing, skiing, biking and lots of great memories with the family. They also traveled to tropical destinations to escape the cold winter months. When they took a family trip to the Virgin Islands, they knew they would be back for good at some point. They bought a sailboat in Florida after their family was raised, spent time there and made the jump to come back to the islands after selling their home and everything they owned in 2019. They have run successful charters in the Virgin Islands ever since.
Mike grew up in the land of 10,000 lakes and took full advantage of as many opportunities as he could to hit the lakes. As a boy and young man he spent many summers up north at the family cabin taking advantage of all water sports. It’s here that Mike developed his love of being on the water.
Mike has been an entrepreneur most of his life and has, along with Julie run a personal training business, owned a fitness center and worked in the oil fields. In his free time, Mike enjoys working out, reading and 'wrenching' on things. Mike looks forward to showing his guests a great time and all the amazing experiences the islands have to offer.
Julie’s passion for cooking began long before she stepped into a professional galley. Raised between the lakes of Minnesota and the coastline of California, she grew up with a deep appreciation for both the ocean and the simple joy of creating meals that bring people together. Some of her earliest and fondest memories are of cooking alongside her mother, learning to work with fresh ingredients and to approach every dish with care, creativity, and heart.
Her culinary foundation continued to evolve as she refined her technique, expanded her flavor repertoire, and strengthened her commitment to thoughtful, ingredient‑driven cuisine.
With more than six years of experience as a charter yacht chef, Julie has become known for crafting meals that elevate the onboard experience. She loves sourcing fresh, local ingredients and designing menus that balance comfort with elegance — from familiar favorites prepared with finesse to beautifully plated dishes tailored to each guest’s tastes and dietary needs.
For Julie, food is a way of creating connection. Every meal is an opportunity to celebrate the moment, spark conversation, and help guests make memories that linger long after their charter ends. When she’s not in the galley, Julie enjoys crocheting, staying active, and savoring the small joys of everyday life. She looks forward to welcoming you aboard and sharing her love of food, hospitality, and the magic of dining at sea.
Mike and Julie hope to help others create lasting lifetime memories in their dream destination.

Thanks to you both for an unforgettable week aboard True Story. From the moment we stepped on the boat we felt welcomed & completely able to relax & enjoy the beauty of the BVI. The food, the snorkeling, and the islands were all amazing! We especially enjoyed celebrating chef Julie's birthday and "skip around the room/boat" will definitely remain one of our favourite memories from this trip.
