SY Purpose

“Our trip was amazing, thanks to the crew. Florian was fantastic. Our group ranged in age from 8-84 and we all loved our trip and have started talking about the next one. Florian paid special attention to each of us and helped us enjoy our time on Purpose. Highly recommend.”

“What a great way to truly unwind for a week! Florian and Camille were fantastic hosts and went out of their way to make our week onboard the Purpose fantastic. There were four of us in total - Mom, Dad and two kids - and Florian was able to create the perfect itinerary for us from Nassau down to Staniel Cay and back. We hit the popular spots, but Florian also had a few hidden gems that he had found exploring that really stood out to us. To top it all off, Camille did a wonderful job with every meal and really made them special with extra touches along the way. We all went home with big smiles and are, like others, talking about our next visit!”

“The magic of the Eastern Caribbean was not lost on us! Captain Florian and chef Mike were amazing! They planned the perfect agenda for us, carefully listened to our preferences for food and activities, and executed a dream vacation in a time when we really needed to get away from the stresses back home. Florian’s knowledge and experience were evident from day one, and Mike’s culinary expertise was truly on par with any restaurant in the world. Don’t pass up the opportunity to sail on Purpose!”

“Embarked on a charter for 4 couples through the Grenadines with Florian and Mike We had chosen the Grenadines as it is less crowded than the BVI and some slightly longer sailing stretches Purpose was more than adequate for the waters and Florian took us to many beautiful anchorages as well as some of his private locations. Florian is also obviously very confident with his craft as he demonstrated many times that he can handle the yacht by himself Our meals were also absolutely terrific. Chef Mike did and amazing job creating unique meals and presentations that we did not expect out on such a cruise. Most of us did not want to Leave the yacht to even experiment dining ashore”

“Bahamas is a must visit place. Paradise on earth! From the white beaches to the turquoise water. We even swam with turtles. We will be visiting again and again.”

“While we expected beautiful turquoise water, and a friendly and experienced captain, we had severely underestimated the quality of the food, the variety in presentation, and the incredible flavors Chef Mike was able to deliver from a small galley kitchen while bobbing around on the water. I have dined in fine restaurants all over the world, and this experience was truly on par with any of them! And the attitude, enthusiasm, and joy he displayed brought a smile to our faces every day.”

“Purpose is such a beautiful sailing vessel and the captain and cook are the friendliest crew to be on board with! Highly recommend choosing Purpose for your charter, and make sure to have Flo set the scene for a catamaran dance party! Nothing but good things to say!”

“We can hardly find words for the time we had on Purpose. One week St. Vincent and the Grenadines. From the first moment till the last, Florian and Mike did everything to make us feel comfortable – and we did! The yacht is spacious, tastefully and lovingly equipped in every detail. Florian is not only confident in handling his yacht, he also knows the best spots around. Delicious meals, snorkeling, stand up paddling or just watching the cristal clear water, sunsets, sunrises, sandy beaches, enjoying a starry night with a cocktail on deck. It really was a week to get away from it all and to catch a glimpse of paradise. We ourselves are sailing teachers and can highly recommend the Purpose and its crew!”

“We traveled with three other couples in St Vincent and the Grenadines with in early February. We were all blown away with the luxury and the care and feeding that we received from our captain and our chef. Flo mans the boat with poise and confidence. He seems to manage the boat singlehandedly without breaking a sweat! The food that Mike prepared for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks was so far and away above all of our expectations. There really was no need to stop at a restaurant on land because the fact was that whatever Mike prepared was better than what could be had at the local restaurants anyway! All prepared in a tiny kitchen, on a moving boat, and with seemingly no mess or heat coming from the galley! They had both asked us lots of questions ahead of time so that they could provision the boat with our favorite things. They were both flexible and knowledgeable about our schedule. Flo knew the best coves, restaurants, and shops to stop at. He was happy to accommodate "what we felt like doing" on any given day. Not only was Purpose stocked with our favorite wines and beers, it was also stocked with scuba gear, noodles, and stand up paddle boards. But perhaps the biggest differences between this experience and the usual week long sail is that Flo considers Purpose his home. So, if you had wished that there would have been a cushion to soften the seat somewhere on deck-Flo had already likely provided one in Sunbrella fabric all discretely tied so that the wind wouldn't blow it away as we sailed. There were homey touches like that in our cabins as well. Purpose has plenty of nooks to retreat to as well as plenty of common spaces to gather in. I give Flo enormous credit for having put together this winning formula for a lovely vacation and feel very lucky to have found him. I am already tracking Purpose's movements over the next year or two so we might be able to meet up again and explore somewhere else! I can't recommend this boat and it's crew enough!”

“All I can say is WOW! I can't put into words how amazing our week was on Purpose. It was SOOO amazing that I rebooked a follow-up trip while we were on the boat. The boat itself is quite special and has ABSOLUTELY every amenity that one could dream of. It is also IMMACULATELY kept (and I am a neat freak)! While the boat is impressive, Captain Florian and First Mate Mike will blow you away. They both are so personable and warm and go to any extreme to ensure that you are enjoying your time on your "floating home." Captain Florian must have taken my son on hundreds on water activity excursions and always did it with the biggest smile on his face. Mike's cooking is first rate and he was very considerate to have meals that fit every passenger's tastes (a side note- my husband gained 10 pounds)! We are counting the days to our next vacation on our favorite floating home and can't wait to spend the holidays with our new favorite members of our family- Captain Florian & Mike. Never hesitate to book the Purpose- my memories will carry me a lifetime.”

“This trip exceeded our expectations by a mile. This was our first experience with a crewed cat and chef and after one day I was wondering why we bareboat sailed all those years, shopping, cooking & cleaning. Our captain, Florian, was incredibly accommodating. He was so thorough on instructions around the boat and picked a really diverse itinerary. He also chose anchorages that were within a short swim to excellent snorkeling. He pointed out things to us as we went along and was engaging and a very cheerful fellow. And Michael his crew and chef made wonderful meals, snacks and desserts and we never had to lift a finger. All in all it was a dreamy vacation made all the more so by having a well appointed cat, and an excellent captain and chef/crew. We’d follow them around the world if we could.“ All the best”
