About Ripple
Ripple is a 2016 Lagoon 620 catamaran featuring Lagoon's stylishly upgraded Essence décor. 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. The covered flybridge is home to a huge, comfortable, and sleek sofa and additional bench seat — the perfect space to enjoy the beautiful views, gorgeous sunsets, and witness the amazing milky way while at anchor.
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. The captain is a fully 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.
Ripple hosts up to 8 guests in four queen-sized, air-conditioned cabins. Each cabin has its own private ensuite bathroom with a separate shower. The master suite is elegant and roomy with excellent storage space, a desk, small sitting area, and its large ensuite bathroom with large glass shower stall and separate double vanity area. The master also has a private cockpit entryway allowing easy access to the aft deck for slipping out to gaze at the stars.

Captain Mark Chenney-Russell
Captain & Certified Dive Master
Meet Mark, your accomplished and adventurous captain aboard Ripple. Born in Japan and raised in England by American parents, Mark has always possessed a deep-seated passion for voyaging and all things nautical. Mark's sailing journey began at the tender age of 13 when he completed his RYA day skipper course on a 32' sloop, navigating the picturesque French and English coasts.
His love for the sea led him to pursue a degree in Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology at the University of Plymouth, where he also obtained his Yacht Master certification. During this time, Mark worked as a local dive guide and RIB pilot, honing his skills and knowledge of the marine environment.
Driven by a desire to explore the world, Mark embarked on a career as a professional dive guide and instructor, working in various locations across the globe. With thousands of dives under his belt, including a remarkable 4.5-hour dive to 260' on a rebreather to explore a war wreck in Vanuatu, Mark's expertise in the underwater realm is unparalleled.
Over the past 17 years, Mark has been an integral part of the luxury yachting industry, earning his MCA Master 3000 and Y4 engineer licenses. One notable highlight of his career was his time spent with the race vessel 'Earthrace,' where he and a team of four crew members circumnavigated the globe in a record-breaking 60 days aboard a 78' motor yacht — a World Record that still stands today!
As your captain on Ripple, Mark brings his wealth of experience, knowledge, and passion for exploration to ensure that your charter experience in the Virgin Islands is nothing short of extraordinary. His love for the region and its vibrant culture, coupled with his expertise in all aspects of yachting, guarantees an unforgettable adventure filled with fun, discovery, and natural wonders. With Mark at the helm, you can rest assured that your journey aboard Ripple will be safe, exciting, and tailored to your every desire.
