Captain
Chef/First Mate
Captain: Ivan Ras
Ivan is a passionate marine enthusiast with years of experience as a scuba diving instructor and 3+ years as a charter captain. His love for the ocean began during family holidays spent at the beach, where he developed a keen interest in exploring, snorkeling, and fishing. After graduating from high school, he chose to turn his passion into a career, becoming a scuba diving instructor. This role has allowed him to travel extensively, explore new destinations, and immerse himself in diverse cultures.
For Ivan, being out on the ocean brings a sense of calm and wonder. He is fascinated by the mysteries of the sea and enjoys the endless possibilities for adventure both in and on the water. In addition to his maritime interests, he has a strong passion for sailing, engineering, DIY projects, and vintage cars. He also has a deep appreciation for nature, with a particular focus on animal welfare and plant care.
Marisia is an experienced and dedicated charter chef with over 3 years of experience in creating exceptional dining experiences aboard charter yachts. Throughout her career, she has developed a reputation for her culinary expertise, attention to detail, and ability to tailor menus to the unique preferences of guests, all while maintaining the high standards expected in the yachting industry.
Her passion for food and hospitality began early, and she honed her skills in both private kitchens and professional kitchens before transitioning to the yachting industry. Marisia has worked in diverse and challenging environments, including on private yachts and charter vessels, where she is known for her creative and seasonal approach to cuisine, as well as her ability to adapt to various dietary requirements and preferences.
In addition to her culinary skills, Marisia excels in managing the galley, ensuring smooth operations, and maintaining high levels of cleanliness and organization. She is committed to providing a five-star dining experience, whether preparing gourmet meals for intimate gatherings or large, celebratory events on board.
Marisia and Ivan met in Potchefstroom, a small town in South Africa. Marisia was studying hairdressing and Ivan just got back from working at sea on a 130ft motor yacht as Deckhand/Dive master. 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, soon she was ready to join Ivan.
Ivan and Marisia love creating the perfect holiday, sailing only to the best places -from the most famous bars to untouched secluded bays.

Reviews
There aren't enough words to describe how amazing this week has been.
Thank you Jake and Mackenzie - AMAZING!
Thanks for the memories and birthday wishes!
Love our time with you guys.
Cieciuch Family, US Virgin Islands
“Jake and Mackenzie, there are not enough adjectives to explain how AMAZING you both were! Kind, warm, fun, energetic and knowledgeable. The food was incredible (and we are not easy to cook for with allergies and vegetarians amongst us). Mackenzie was so creative. Her presentations were gorgeous. We ate like royalty. Our older daughter - who has the allergies - was thrilled, as were we all. And Jake was a blast and has good karma as we always found the best mooring spots! He was always happy to teach us about the boat and about sailing, and energetically facilitated all the activities of our active family. Both of them tirelessly played games and swam with us and the girls in their down time. Our younger daughter cried all the way to town after they dropped us off because she was missing them so much. We would absolutely book another trip with this duo!”
Johnson Family, US Virgin Islands
“I cannot thank you two enough for such a fantastic trip. Y'all are the best! We really needed the down time and we are so appreciative of you both for taking such great care of our family. Y'all make a great team and you provided our family with an outstanding vacation.”
Herold Family, US Virgin Islands
“Thank you for an amazing experience! You make a dynamic duo. This trip was definitely memorable and that is a big part to do with your amazing hospitality!! The island hopping, the games, and the snorkeling were so fun, and we appreciate all of your hard work and efforts to make this the best trip ever."
Oren Crew, US Virgin Islands
“Wow! What an amazing time we’ve had exploring St. Thomas and St. John with you! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect match than you both. You made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and you embraced our quirkiness and adventures! You chose perfect spots to explore and did a perfect job listening to our interests and needs and creating a great itinerary accordingly. Mackenzie – the food was top notch! We got so spoiled with your delicious cuisine. We created lasting memories and have enjoyed every moment. The anniversary celebration, “bachelorette party,” and 40th birthday bash were all so fun! We all hope to make a return visit and wouldn’t think to sail with anyone other than you two. Whether it’s here or Croatia, this won’t be the last you see of us!”
-Carlos
What an incredible week of great food, beautiful views, fun times, and lifelong memories. Thanks to Hannah and Tom for all the great attention, food, and time!
-Michelle
Both the boat and crew rocked! Thanks Tom and Hannah. Can't wait to sail with you both again!

Thank you so much for the most memorable vacay! Hannah and Tom exceeded all expectations. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back in the future for sure!
-George and Mitzy
Wow- I honestly have no adequate words to thank you enough for sharing your "Karma" with us all. I knew this would be an amazing trip, but I had no idea how beyond amazing it would be. The setting, the adventure, all of our experiences were magnified by your grace and hospitality. From the depths of my heart I say "Thank You"
Many blessings on your adventures to come.
Joan and Jeff
Hannah and Tom,

Tom and Hannah,
Your hospitality is superb!! Karma is such a great boat to entertain. Hannah's cooking has been so delicious. Tom's expertise in everything has been amazing. We have had the most wonderful time this week. You have made it one of our most memorable vacations!!
Best wishes for your future together.
Trey and Cindy
You are amazing! Always a smile and a helping hand when needed. Amazing food putting us in all the right places to really enjoy a spectacular week. You are an amazing team and we wouldn't have had the special experience we all had without all you did for us. Thank you! While you "say" no one saw more octopus that us, it was your guidance that got us there! Octopus, squid, rays, eels, and so many turtles. You always put us in the right spots!
We certainly are leaving with a few more pounds than we came with! Hannah -your menus were great!
We leave with many fond memories and will think back on our grand adventure with delight. We will miss you both and hope you have a wonderful life and many great adventures ahead.
-Amy, Steve, Drew, and Cole
Hannah and Tom,
Hopefully the pounds will leave while the memories linger-we had a marvelous week and took joy in your seamanship and teamwork. You truly are a dream!
Love to both of you and our very best wishes on continuing adventures.
-Dick and Maxine
It is so hard to find the words to say for what this trip means to us. Family, friends, Xmas, and these good islands all together is incredible but then to have the 2 of you guiding us, cooking for us, sharing tips and smiles makes out hearts so full. Amazingly you showed us new things, new places, new drinks and recipes, and bioluminescent fish on our last night. We all feel reenergized and are already looking forward to next year (we will need time to diet before returning). Lionfish, lobsters, mahi-mahi, turtles-we felt like we were in heaven. Bravo! Standing Ovation! And all our love.
-Connie and Miles, Ron and Andy

How can we begin to thank you for giving us this amazing, beautifull, memorable, perfect vacation? We will always remember the two of you and the week on Karma. We loved the FOOD, the two of you, the perfect spots you chose, tubing, hiking, shopping, and the snorkeling. Your hospitality was over the top. We are definitely going to come back for another trip. Safe travels to Grenada! Anytime you are in Maryland look us up, so we can return the hospitality.
Thank you
If you are reading this know we miss you tons! You guys were the absolute best! The food and drinks and activities were fun-but what we enjoyed most was your company! You are both such kind, interesting, and fun people and I'm so lucky that we booked with you! We must go diving in Truks or skiing in Jackson Hole together! I will always remember your family and I hope this not the last time we meet.
Love Always

We are at a loss for words to adequately capture how amazing this trip has been! Hannah and Tom went above and beyond to make this our best vacation ever! Gourmet food, beautiful bays, unimaginable rainbows, peanut butter bushwhackers and the best gin fizz ever. snorkeling with seat turtles, sunrises and sunsets, best Kentucky Derby party with caribbean hats to boot. All of it was so fun and special. Even a torrential down pour at Lime Out was fun! Thank you for an amazing vacation. Out hearts (and tummies!) are full. We leave rested and relaxed and hoping to do it again.
-Rachel and Robert
What an amazing adventure! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, sailing expertise, and hospitality with us. We enjoyed the USVI. there are now words to describe the week we had with you both! To the best captain and chef ever! We will never forget any of it. Keep in touch!
Thank you
