Crewed Catamaran PURA VIDA

PURA VIDA is a 2021 Dufour 48 delivering contemporary ease across the US and British Virgin Islands. Four cabins, each with en-suite facilities and air conditioning, combine with multiple social decks to suit both intimate gatherings and larger groups. The design emphasises clean lines and natural light, creating an uncluttered environment where relaxation comes naturally.

Your experience is shaped by Captain Matthew, a 13-year yachting veteran whose passage across the Indian Ocean as a young sailor instilled a deep respect for the sea. He curates bespoke itineraries that navigate your priorities rather than a standard checklist. Alongside him, Chef Klarisse sources fresh local ingredients to compose meals rooted in Caribbean authenticity and classical technique, drawing on her hospitality background to elevate dining aboard.

The all-inclusive charter fee covers the full crew complement, daily provisions, fuel, permits, and access to onboard sports equipment. Premium beverages, crew gratuities, and off-vessel excursions are managed separately, ensuring transparency in your planning.

Base yourself in St Thomas or Tortola and explore the Leeward Islands at a pace that suits you. The configuration of anchorages across the USVI and BVI offers both renowned destinations and quieter coves; your captain's local knowledge determines which reveal themselves. Early season bookings between April and August enjoy 10% savings on six or seven-night charters, as do off-peak weeks in November and December outside major holidays.
