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.

MEET YOUR CREW
Mark Russell
Michael O'Brien
Jeanique De Klerk

Born in Japan, growing up in England with American parents, Mark has always been a voyager. Having started sailing at a young age, he completed his RYA day skipper course at the ripe age of 13 years old on a 32’ sloop sailing the French and English coasts. His passion for all things nautical led him to a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth where he completed his Yacht Master course and worked locally as a dive guide and RIB pilot. Soon wishing to explore further afield, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor working all over the world and clocking up thousands of dives culminating in a 4.5hr dive to 260’ on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu. This was while working on his first luxury motor yacht. He then stayed in this sector on and off for the next 17 years earning MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable break from luxury yachts was his time spent with the race vessel ‘Earthrace’. The team circumnavigated the globe in 60 days in a 78’ motor yacht with 4 crew and still hold the World Record to this day! Mark loves exploring the Virgin Islands and all the fun, culture and nature it has to offer.

Born and raised in South Africa, Michael O'Brien has always had a deep connection with the ocean. This lifelong passion led him to earn his PADI Divemaster certification in Sodwana Bay, Durban, in 2020 – a testament to his exceptional diving skills.

In the same year, Michael discovered his love for culinary arts. Pursuing this newfound passion, he underwent formal culinary training for 4 years in Stellenbosch. His talent and dedication quickly propelled him into the world of fine dining, where he honed his skills in prestigious Cape Town establishments, including The Manor House and Delaire Graff Wine Estate.

Seeking to combine his two greatest loves – the ocean and food – Michael set his sights on a career at sea. In early 2023, he secured his first maritime position as 3rd chef on a vessel in Scotland. His culinary expertise and adaptability saw him swiftly rise through the ranks, eventually becoming the sole chef aboard an 80-foot yacht cruising the Bahamas.

Now, Michael has embarked on a new adventure as part of the crew aboard Ripple. He brings his unique blend of ocean expertise and culinary mastery to our catamaran, enhancing our guests' experiences with his skills both as a chef and an experienced diver. We're thrilled to welcome him as a valuable member of the Ripple family, where his passion for the sea and gourmet cuisine contributes immensely to creating unforgettable charter journeys.

Jeanique is a young and ambitious soul from a small, rural town in Solwezi, Zambia. She started yachting at the age of 20 with the aim to be independent, travel to her hearts content and to experience diverse cultures. With two summer seasons under her belt she has worked on charter yachts in Greece, the Mediterranean and the east coast of the USA. She was a competitive swimmer for twelve years and just loves the water and has now had the opportunity to scuba dive and see the underwater world we share with our aquatic friends.Being
able to work both on deck and inside vessel's, she's been able to see the best of both worlds on a yacht or sailing vessel. She has been aloud the opportunity to share her friendly, caregiving nature everywhere she goes, allowing the people whom connect and meet her feel the positive and kind hearted nature which is her personality and character.

This great crew look forward to welcoming you onboard Ripple this season and creating the best vacation memories for you, your friends and families.
