PURA VIDA Guest Comments
Fabulous Week
Our Fav Memory or Recommended Activity:
Fav memory – Ryan rolling down the shoreline, running into the reef.
♡ The Baths, Gorda Peak trail to the lookout point, dinner at Coco Maya, every meal on the boat, and morning FDs. Oh, and sailing! ♡
My Message:
We had a fabulous week with Matthew and Klarisse in the BVI! Wonderful hospitality! Some great memories were made!
★★★★★★★★★★
If you’re thinking about booking Pura Vida – do it! We had three couples on board and somehow Klarisse and Matthew managed to keep us well-fed, well-sailed, and completely relaxed for an entire week (no small task).
Matthew sailed us smoothly through sunshine, storms, and questionable music playlists. Klarisse kept us full with incredible meals that magically appeared no matter how often we changed our plans… Can’t imagine what she would whip up in a bigger kitchen.
The sailing was a real highlight – peaceful, beautiful, and never once did we feel anything but safe. They took as good of care of us as they did their third crew member, Pura Vida herself. These two are absolutely pros who make it look easy.
Thanks for putting up with us and making Sharksweeks 2026 unforgettable! I hope the rest of your season is full of clapping and applause that you deserve.
Well DONE!!!

Wonderful Hospitality!
Thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality! The sights, the snorkeling, the beaches — not to mention the amazing meals and fun conversations!
Matthew & Klarisse were the ultimate hosts — meeting every need/request. They were so fun to spend time with and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with them. We would gladly book another with them.
Thanks again to Matthew & Klarisse — you made our trip so worthwhile!!
Hope to see you again.

What A Great Time!
What a great time!
Matthew & Klarisse were absolutely fantastic. We were so welcomed & attended to immediately.
Klarisse & her creations were fabulous! In all of my 64 years I have never experienced such consistently fantastic meals (and I have travelled extensively). The meals were lite and filling all at the same time - and DELICIOUS!
Matthew was a great captain and was very aware of our group needs. I always felt like he was looking out for us! His captain cocktails were so yummy & I may have fallen in love with a few new recipes :)
It was a super fun trip & I cannot recommend this crew enough! Super fun, great food & all of our needs were met! Hate to leave!!

5 Times In The BVI!
Matthew and Klarisse are an amazing crew! They are both very caring and professional. They were always meeting every need we had on such a relaxing vacation.
Klarisse is magic in the kitchen and could be a chef in a five star restaurant.
We have sailed 5 times in the BVI and her meals are by far the very best.
Matthew was always ready to take us to any snorkeling area and to help us out on all of the islands: driving a rental car to the best beaches on Anegada, arranging a fabulous visit to the Baths on Virgin Gorda, and anchoring the boat at all the best places!
Pura Vida was an awesome vacation!
The best!
