About Ripple
A 62ft Lagoon Catamaran In the Heart of the Caribbean Virgin Islands
Ripple is a 2016 Lagoon 620 catamaran featuring Lagoon’s stylishly upgraded Essence decor. Ripple recently went through a $250,000 refit during the 2023 summer. 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. 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 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 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. 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.
This great crew look forward to welcoming you onboard Ripple this season and creating the best vacation memories for you, your friends and families.

Guest Reviews
Such a delightful week this has been. The sights and experiences were all fabulous, and Mark and Shawna treated us like family. Mark is such a pro and makes certain we have the best possible experiences. Even when the weather didn’t cooperate, he found a way for us to enjoy every moment. Shawna’s delightful personality makes every bite of the delicious food she prepares even more enjoyable. We have loved every minute!
We’ve booked sailing trips many times and this trip was absolutely the best of them. We had an amazing week aboard the catamaran, with the best crew we could have possibly gotten.
The crew was fantastic!They were incredibly aware of all our needs and wants. We had amazing, sophisticated meals and appetizers and great cocktails.
The captain is a very experienced sailor and he knew exactly where to take us depending if we wanted bars/people/movement or just a completely peaceful spot. We got along great and they were very helpful in making this a great trip for us, full of activities (paddle board, kayak, wakeboard etc). Cabins and overall boat were kept very clean all the time.
We definitely feel we got more than our money’s worth and would tailor our next sailing trip to match dates with this crew, on any yacht.
We have had many sailing vacations, and every time we ourselves did the work required: the planning, the navigation, the sailing, the sail handling, water management, shopping, and the list goes on. And this time, you guys did all this and more for us. The atmosphere your provided, the quality of the food, the drinks, the place settings, the itinerary, the anchoring, the cleanliness of the boat; everything was incredible. You guys did it better than we thought it could be done.
So we wanted to let you know all of this and let you know how much we appreciate it and how much we enjoy our memories that week.
