VIVE LAMOUR | Luxury Crewed Catamaran

A charter aboard VIVE LA'MOUR is brought to life by an energetic crew of 2 led by Captain Tyler van Roden, whose adventurous background and guest-first mindset make exploring the Bahamas feel both exciting and effortless. Since 2013, Tyler has captained charter sailing yachts through French Polynesia, the Western Mediterranean, the Northeastern Caribbean, and the southern Sea of Cortez, building an impressive foundation of experience across diverse cruising grounds. Safety remains his guiding principle, and from that foundation he creates highly tailored days on the water based on what guests most want to enjoy, whether that is wildlife encounters, watersports, or simply discovering beautiful anchorages at an easy pace. With Chef Valentina Kochian by his side, guests aboard VIVE LA'MOUR are looked after by a crew that combines confidence, warmth, and real capability.

Each day on board is elevated by Chef Valentina Kochian, whose food brings freshness, energy, and a welcome sense of abundance to the experience. Growing up diving in the Caribbean along the Mayan Riviera gave her an early connection to the sea, and her degree in Marine Biology deepened that appreciation in a way that still informs her life on board today. She has worked as a chef in the Mediterranean, Sea of Cortez, and French Polynesia, and her cuisine reflects that experience through vibrant dishes that feel healthy, satisfying, and full of character. Valentina’s love for local ingredients adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the menus she prepares, turning every meal in the Bahamas into something guests genuinely look forward to.

What truly sets this crew apart is the sense that they are sharing a place they sincerely love. Tyler and Valentina met in the Bahamas in 2016, and the adventures they have experienced together since then are reflected in the lively, natural way they host on board. Guests can enjoy everything from spearfishing and kiteboarding to shark diving and dolphin encounters, all while knowing they are with a crew whose skills are grounded in experience and whose priorities are firmly centered on safety and guest enjoyment. On VIVE LA'MOUR, that combination creates a Bahamas charter that feels fun, fluid, and wonderfully alive from beginning to end.

Overview:
Sun-drenched cruising in the Bahamas feels all the more enjoyable aboard VIVE LA'MOUR, the Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 luxury catamaran designed to deliver comfort, stability, and easygoing style throughout your charter. Her elegant yet uncomplicated character makes her especially appealing for guests who want to focus on the experience itself, from the sea breeze on deck to the pleasure of arriving at one beautiful anchorage after another. With amenities dedicated to recreation and relaxation, she creates a setting where fun and downtime naturally complement each other. Every day feels open to possibility from the moment you wake.

The aft deck sets the scene for some of the charter’s most memorable hours, especially when your crew prepares a lobster and seafood dinner under sunset colors near Paradise Island. By day, the spacious foredeck cushioned sunbathing area offers a front-row seat to the calm brilliance of the open sea, making it easy to settle in and let the afternoon drift by. Then there is the flybridge, a favorite for couples and families alike, where the atmosphere turns quieter and the views over the Exumas seem to stretch forever. The yacht’s deck spaces are thoughtfully arranged to make each hour feel distinct and worth savoring.

Moving indoors, guests are welcomed by a contemporary interior that feels tailored to easy socializing and comfortable entertaining. It is a space that encourages relaxed connection, whether over an aperitif before dinner or a slower start to the morning before stepping back outside. Her cozy queen cabins bring a more private side to the experience, each with its own ensuite facility that makes settling in feel especially comfortable. After a restful evening, you step back into the day ready for more sea time, more sunshine, and more of the Bahamas at your fingertips.

When it is time to turn up the excitement, Eleuthera provides the perfect setting for more adventurous fun. With a variety of water toys available on board, guests can explore both above and below the Bahamas waterline and make each stop as active as they please. VIVE LA'MOUR handles that shift beautifully, moving from relaxed luxury to playful energy without missing a beat. It is this mix of calm comfort and spirited exploration that gives her such broad appeal.
