Crew Information
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.

This was our best catamaran trip yet. The crew were a fantastic crew who understood all we were looking for & had great knowledge to share & such enthusiasm for life! Our group of 6 all loved our time on Ether!
May 2024
This trip was absolutely perfect and it was all thanks to Ivan and Marisia! We were absolutely spoiled and no other sailing trip will ever compare. We all got to experience new things and some of us conquered our fears of the ocean thanks to the calm and expert guidance of our crew. When we get home we will all forever be longing to hear the conch shell for the chef's spectacular meals. Please come visit us. Thank you for a week of unforgettable memories.
May 2024
This week has been incredible starting with the warm welcome and big hugs. It was easy to see your genuine personalities and bubbling energy. We knew you were the perfect fit for us! Chef-your attention to meals was over the top and much appreciated. I don't think we ate one thing that we didn't like. We also appreciated the variety of snacks set out for any time. Your enthusiasm for life is contagious never lose that ! You both made us feel at home and inspire us to return sooner than later. We will definitely miss you especially Monday morning when we are making our own breakfast! You are truly something special and we feel blessed to know you. We wish you all the luck. Thank you for the most unforgettable week and for letting us be part of your world. Stay in touch .
February 2024
We just competed an 8 day charter with Ether and her crew and had a wonderful time. They are both kind and energetic people who are outstanding professionals. I would not hesitate in the future to book them for a repeat charter and hope to do so. I can highly recommend them for your next BVI trip.
December 2023
The crew of Ether were just incredible. As I shared with them there is customer service and there is customer experience. Customer service is how you treat someone, customer experience is how that person feels treated. I believe I can speak for each and every one of us that were on the trip that they treated us like Royalty! The food was better than a 5 star hotel and their patience, kindness, and humbleness is unheard of in today’s world. If there is anything that we can do to pass on our gratitude to whomever they work for or our appreciation please let us know. Again I lack the words to convey how amazing they were. THEY made the TRIP!!
"Thank you for an amazing trip!! From the land and sea adventures to the tubing, to the excellent food, our kids really enjoyed the entire trip. Thanks again!"
-Dodson Family
Now onto our top notch crew….Jake and Mackenzie could NOT have been any better. From our communication beforehand, all the way to our “forced” departure from Karma was nothing short of perfection.
Jake wears 100 hats on that yacht: some being captain, plumber, electrician, dingy transporter, keeping everyone informed of the daily plans, leading you in scuba dives, arranging on shore transportation, and our favorite hat was his patience and sweet smile/smirk while listening to our LOUD antics. Jake is so knowledgeable about all things BVI and yachting, we all felt completely safe and in good hands.
And now let’s talk about Mackenzie…THIS FOOD!!!! We woke up every morning to the unreal smells of her breakfast filling our cabins. Mid day “snacks” were gourmet and mouth watering even for our picky boys. And her dinners…..HOLY SMOKES!! I have no clue how she was able to do it every single night, but she did!! Top tier meals and desserts that left all of us ready to pop. We told her in advance our boys like plain food and she took “plain food” and elevated it into a three MICHELIN star meal that had our boys cleaning their plates. She is so thoughtful in everything she makes and it shows in taste and gorgeous presentation.
On top of shared yacht time, we were able to spend some time with them off yacht, per OUR request, and really feel like we left with two more family members. From Shark Shots, family meetings, lobster dinner ashore, random story times, the 7/14 game at Hendo’s, girl time in the water at Soggy’s, my surprise 50th bday decorations and cake, to the real sign of adoration…nicknames!!! Jake Ma Boy and Mack Daddy will come highly recommended from our group to anyone and everyone that asks, and they have an open invitation to stay with us in San Antonio!
Another Happy Karma Guest,
Sarah
We wanted to express a heartfelt 'Thank you' for an extraordinary week aboard Karma. Great dives, amazing snorkeling, phenomenal food, and superb cocktails! All we can say is that you all made this a truly unforgettable 40th! Thank you guys so much!
-The Cummings Family
Thank you again for putting together this great week and please let us know if you ever have any questions for us or about Karma.
-The Birch Family
When you live with people for more than three days...Jake and Mackenzie, you are an amazing team, and you were instrumental in ensuring a mixed family vacation, birthday, and engagement surprise! Thank you for making the week super special.
-The Koonings
"What a wonderful vacation, spectacular in every way! The scenery, the weather, the food, the company, the boat, all were perfect. Thank you for making the week one we will remember forever. The time together as a family is precious and the two of you made it even better. Thank you for creating such a wonderful family experience for us. You made us feel like part of your family and I will not forget this special time with you both. We will treasure our time on board Karma for a lifetime!:
"This vacation was simply amazing!!! All of the places we visited were beautiful and I loved the itinerary y'all put together for us. Thank y'all for helping me fulfill my dreams of seeing a turtle AND the dream I didn't know I had of seeing dolphins. Jake and Mackenzie, I have also loved getting to hear yall's stories and creating memories with y'all. Y'all both made this vacation one to remember, especially because it's my last one before college. I wish y'all the best!"

We will definitely recommend Karma to our friends!
Thank you for an awesome week of beautiful coves, great underwater adventures, and amazing food and beverages! Couldn't have asked for better hosts! You guys ROCK! I appreciate your time and efforts to make everything so perfect - even the last minute surprise wedding. Magnificent!
Pretty sure there was never a crew so perfectly suited to a boat's name - it was a karmic pairing to be sure! Thank you for the early AM SUP sessions, watching waves at Little Jost Van Dyke, and creating a perfect wedding day for our friends! You two created a perfect experience. Thank you Mackenzie and Jake!
Thank you for an unforgettable week filled with incredible food, gorgeous sights, and even more laughter. Your abundant hospitality was so appreciated as we celebrated a milestone. Life long memories were made and we can't thank you enough for your energy.
Much love,
the Kenkel Family
Since I'm delivering these thanks I'll add a special shout-out for the TSwift dance parties - and I'm sure the whole family would concur - the games, music, conversations, and boat vibe provided much needed connection and relaxation!
Thank you!!"
We can't thank you enough for making this such a wonderful birthday celebration! From the sailing, diving, amazing food, cool land excursions, and relaxing time on the boat, everything truly exceeded our expectations. Thank you for both welcoming us and making us feel so comfortable throughout the week. We have so many wonderful memories to carry back to Texas with us!
Jake & Mackenzie,
Thank you so much for an unbelievable week! We appreciate so much you sharing your home with us. We enjoyed immensely your energy and spirit, you made the trip so much fun. Awesome dives, wonderful food, and great conversation. All in all, the most relaxing week we've spent.

So much love, can't wait to see you again!
This trip has been nothing short of awesome! It literally was the best family vacation we have ever done and we can't thank you both enough! From snorkeling to breakfast cake and goat spotting, we had a blast! We hope to be back but wish you both the best.
You are always welcome in Philly and Avalon!
What a trip! Our time with you was fantastic! You are amazing hosts and made sure we were well taken care of at all times. Hope to sail with the two of you again!
-The Ransdell Family
Dream come true! We always wanted to do this and two of you made it even better than we hoped for! We had a beautiful week with nice weather, fun outings, and incredible food. Your gracious hospitality is so very appreciated! Wish you both the very best and don't hesitate to call if you ever get to the DFW area.
There are truly no words to express my gratitude towards the two of you. Thank you thank you thank you for making this an experience of a lifetime!
You two have made this trip truly priceless! Thank you for everything - the friendship, food, little details, captain's skills and knowledge, and of course the 'shark shots!' have been unmatched! I could go on and on, but we will miss you and we will carry these memories forever.
Mac and Jake -
Wow and wow! What a fabulous week! Can't even express how much fun we had. Keep being you and your future will be amazing!
Take care and if you are ever in the Smoky Mtns., call us!

thank you both for the most awesome week of sailing around the USVI and BVI! We will always look back on the beaches, cocktails, dolphins, meals, paddleboards and liar's dice games with great memories. Happy Holidays and cheers to a new year of adventure and good times!
- Best, the Brooks Fam
What a wonderful week we had. The cruising, sailing, snorkeling, and the meals were beyond our wildest expectations! But best of all were you two, who couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. We are headed home with warm memories and a repertoire of new games to play. All the best!"

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!

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.

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.

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

Love Kyle and Brooke
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
