Your Crew

CAPTAIN IVAN & CHEF/MATE MARISIA

Ivan – My love for the ocean started thanks to family holidays spent at the beach. Exploring, snorkeling, and fishing. Straight after high school, I chose to become a scuba diving instructor, which allowed me to travel, explore, and be exposed to different cultures.

Being out on the ocean makes me feel at ease, I like the mystery hidden in it and love the many possibilities to have fun in and on the water. My interests of mine include sailing, engineering, DIY projects, vintage cars, and genuine love and care for animals and plants.

Marisia – Growing up in Cape Town, with big waves and strong winds. Every Sunday morning you would find my family and me on the beach. We’d spend our time body surfing. Seeing the waves as challenges, conquering the fear of the size, reading the waves by moving with them, letting our bodies adapt to the cold waters, and focusing our minds on controlling our breathing Sundays were my favorite, for the ocean taught me things I didn’t learn in school. When challenges come I treat them like a wave. Observe, evaluate, learn, and take it on headstrong.

Our story starts in the heart of South Africa in a small town called Potchefstroom. Marisia was studying hairdressing and Ivan just got back from working at sea on a 130ft motor yacht as Deckhand/Divemaster. We quickly bonded over our love for the ocean and meeting new people. We soon decided to move down west to old Cape Town herself, where Marisia continued studying and Ivan went back to sea on an 86ft M/Y Nordhavn as First Mate/Engineer/Relief Captain in Fort Lauderdale.

Marisia loved doing hair but now it was time for her other love, the ocean. She began studying the laws of the sea and learning everything she could about life onboard, and soon she was ready to join Ivan.

We have been sailing the Caribbean for a year now having the opportunity to care for 10 Guests on board our 60ft Fontaine Pajot. We pride ourselves on serving them with high standards. We love creating the perfect holiday, sailing only to the best places -from the most famous bars to untouched secluded bays.

Wonderful Memories

I could fill the entire book with all the wonderful memories that you helped us create, but that would leave no room for others to journal their good wishes...

Thank you for feeding us some of the best food we've ever eaten, motoring us to every "must see" spot in the BVI and entertaining us with stories your own adventures. I feel like we came to Ether as customers, but left as friends.
We truly could not have had a more enjoyable vacation. Thanks for the memories.

Best Catamaran Trip Ever

We had an amazing week long trip. This is our 3rd cat trip and the crew were just top notch! Chef did an awesome job managing our diet restrictions with amazing and delicious meals. Everyone cleaned their plate with every meal. We will certainly boat with them again! Best Cat trip we have ever had!!
Thank you so much for everything!

Everything We Needed

Ether is brand new and is fully stocked with everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable with very nice linens and modern bathrooms. Individual yeti cups for everyone in our group. We loved the cooler of fresh, filtered water each day. Every type of mixer and alcohol we could want for making drinks. Our captain was also an excellent bartender who made perfectly balanced cocktails for us. The chef is a very talented chef who prepared amazing meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner. We especially loved the beautiful charcuterie boards she would make for a late-afternoon snack. Perfect for when we were hungry coming back from snorkeling or diving. Lunch and dinner meals were perfectly paired with wines. She is also a dive master and we felt very comfortable with her leading us on dives as beginner divers. The captain is a very calm and capable captain. We felt very safe with him and he was very friendly and easy to talk to.

Beyond Expectations

This was our first family vacation, on a sailing yacht. The crew were so wonderful from day 1! We learned so much about hikes off the islands, sailing, swimming holes, best food spots, and so much more. This was an amazing experience of a lifetime within the beautiful Virgin Islands. Hospitality was beyond expectations and hope to do another sooner rather than later! We loved every day and our kids couldn't have enjoyed it anymore than they did! Thank you many times over!

Every Meal Was A 5 ⭐️Experience!

Everyone needs a yacht vacation with a wonderful crew! You two made our bucket list trip EVERYTHING we imagined. After the incredible hospitality, selection of our itinerary in the BVI and the fun competitions we had, we are sure we will be back to repeat this bucket list item. The food was impeccable from the eggnog French toast pulled pork sandwich, homemade gyoza and charcuterie was amazing. Every meal was a 5 star dining experience. From the best valentines day ever to the wet dighny ride to the yacht club to jumping off the boat it was all fun! We will see you again”

Onboard Experience That Can’t Be Beat!

What a pair! The onboard experience can’t be beat – food, sailing, adventures, cocktails, snorkeling, fishing, paddle boarding and the coziest (always freshly-made!) beds to cap off the day. The captain: his warm, personable demeanor is a bonus and compliments his exceptional captain skills. Always cool, calm and collected at the helm – we felt safe and really enjoyed all the sailing. The chef: unbelievably gifted, talented, creative chef – unmatched in her culinary skills (and we know skills!) She has an equally lovely personality and boat skills. About the food: *** Ether deserves 3 Michelin stars! An experience worth booking for the food! Shakshuka, baked red snapper, prosecco-poached shrimps in watermelon radish, avo eggs benedict, crab & carrot agnolotti, wahoo with parsnip purée, snow crab boil + countless painkillers and delicious cocktails. Our best memory is in Buck Island – floating around and snorkeling, paddling and beach paradise. We loved hitting 8 kts on the St-Croix to St-John sailing journey after seeing a sunrise together.

100% Will Be Back

The yacht was beautifully presented and the crew very welcoming. We used a lot of the water toys, brilliant for children and adults. The crew was just exceptional. We warmed to them instantly. They went to such extraordinary lengths to make our charter special and unique. From hand made fish spotting logs ready and waiting for the children's arrival, to finding the best snorkeling spots, amazing food for both us and our children. Nothing was too much for them. They are a great team and made our holiday one we will never forget, special memories. We will 100% be back!

Genuine Hospitality

Thank you for the most amazing week with our family and yours! We feel very lucky to have spent the holidays with another family who values family and friends as much as we do. Your hospitality was so genuine and lovely.  We hope our paths will cross again! Lots of love.
