Reviews & Testimonials
Terrific vacation. We have been on many charters and this was the best yet! Great Yacht. Top, top notch crew!
Courteous, attentive, knowledgeable are all adjectives that apply describing the Captain and crew. Jay was safety-conscious, made us aware of options on a daily basis, thoroughly investigated our alternatives, and planned based on our wishes. Ben and Jon took us on a number of adventures and were great hosts, from a beach picnic to water skiing, kayaking, snorkeling, ATV rides, and more. Very enjoyable hosts. And Lauren was thoroughly delightful.
A bunch of “foodies” were on this trip and Maxine exceeded all our culinary expectations. Yacht was kept in immaculate condition the entire trip, and it’s a beautiful boat, top to bottom.
Captain Jay presented us with our alternatives for each day and we set the pace and activities we wanted. For the time of year we were on the yacht (late Dec. to early Jan.) the pacific side of Panama was amazing! San Jose Island in particular. Would definitely charter this yacht again. Wonderful yacht. Absolutely outstanding crew.
Please let he owner know how very pleased we were with his outstanding crew (our best yet) and beautiful boat.
Our last trip on the VivieRae with you and Sandy was one of the most relaxing and fun-filled, enjoyable and memorable trips we have ever taken. What a great way to get away, enjoy, relax and build memories.
The VivieRae, with all its toys and amenities does not allow you to ever become bored. One minute you can be waking up, relaxing while enjoying the early morning breezes while experiencing breakfast on the back deck; next you are loading up the Ricochete to go diving at one of the neighboring islands or coves; next you are having lunch on the upper deck prepared by a top chef; next your snorkeling and swimming off the back deck in crystal clear waters surrounding the boat; followed by a glass of chardonnay while discussing plans for the rest of the day; shower and load up to run to one of the beach bars on a neighboring island followed by a tropical relaxing dinner on another island; back to the VivieRae for enjoying one another’s company, reliving the day’s activities and planning tomorrow’s adventures.
The Vivie Rae: Take a deep breath before you board as she will take your breath away. This luxury lady and her crew pay attention to every detail. Delicious food, exemplary service, lavish accommodations all come standard. With a wide berth and tall stance she rides beautiful and sits majestically keeping you comfortable during all sea conditions. From Sunrise in a quiet cove, to water toys during day and dinners as the sun sets each day, she will help you make wonderful memories.
The only time you will be unhappy is when you trip comes to an end. ***** Five Stars…
Our time aboard the VivieRae could not have been more enjoyable. The captain and crew are professional, well-trained and friendly. In my experience, they instill the high level of confidence and provide the professional service expected with quality charter aircraft, motor yachts and five-star resorts. They are excellent at each of their jobs and are obviously cross trained. They not only anticipate your needs, but also politely suggest available options you might otherwise miss. We celebrated both a birthday and an engagement on our trip with no shortage of attention and pageantry.
My fiancé and I recently took a week long voyage aboard the ViviRae. When you look at the images in the gallery, you’ll see that the ViviRae’s accommodations are first class, what you can’t see is how wonderful the staff is. We’ve traveled to numerous locations around the globe and stayed in many of the finest resorts, hotels,etc. the service and personal attention we received aboard the ViviRae was the best we’ve experienced. Our suite was picture perfect and always well tended, Chef Caroline’s meals are among some of the best I’ve ever eaten, Captain Garreth is not only an excellent mariner, he is personable and conscientious.
Awesome is an understatement!!!
Jennifer and I spent an unforgettable, fantastic week aboard the Vivie Rae. This vessel is absolutely stunning with every need a couple could require. The crew was absolutely perfect from comfort, meal presentation to the professionalism of the Captain. The addition of the Ricochet 41 ft. center console brings an exceptional flavor to the trip that cannot be found on other packages. You can easily depart the mother ship Vivie Rae onto the Ricochet for a day’s excursion to adjacent islands, boat cruising, fishing or scuba adventures. This value that cannot be measured, as it provides easy access for daily adventures. On most voyages there is always a weak link on the chain.
I can assure you there are no weak links here, as a trip aboard the Vivie Rae will be a special event you will not forget !!!
Being on the VivieRae was a remarkable experience. Not only is it roomy, luxurious, and with a full complement of water toys, it is by far the best yacht I have had the pleasure to be on. VivieRae is staffed by a wonderful crew that caters to your every need. The Captain, Gareth, is 1st class and always put us in great harbors with lots to do. We dined on board for most meals and the chef, Caro, does a remarkable job that borders on perfect. The deck hand and stewardess are also professional, with a desire to make sure your every need is anticipated, from impeccable housekeeping to making delicious frozen Pina Coladas for us to enjoy while in the hot tub on the top deck watching the sunset over the beautiful crystal clear blue ocean.
The Ricochet adds a whole other dimension to the activities and fun guests can enjoy while chartering the Vivie Rae. At 60+ MPH, we were able to enjoy remote islands, snorkel on famous offshore reefs, and enjoy many other activities and sites utilizing the Ricochet as a sister boat to Mega Yacht Vivie Rae. The combination of the two is unsurpassed and the crew is one of the best we have ever experienced while on a charter Yacht.
For our 10th wedding anniversary, my wife and I happily rode the VivieRae through the Panama Canal to the dreamy Las Perlas Islands in the Gulf of Panama, where we spent an amazing week touring the archipelago. The VivieRae, and her toys, along with the expert crew provided us with one of the best, and most memorable, vacations we have experienced together!
