Yacht Description
Fresh build, smart layout. RHAPSODY II is a 2024 Lagoon 55 catamaran that sleeps 8 guests in 4 queen en-suite cabins, so four couples can actually all win.
Flybridge is the play. You get dining up top as well as in the cockpit, plus two bars and multiple spots to claim sun or shade. Short version: the group can spread out without splitting up.
Easy water access. A swim platform and outdoor shower keep the in-and-out-of-the-sea routine simple. Wet feet. Quick rinse. Back to lounging.
Toys for all ages. Plan on proper water time with an E-foil board, wakeboard, towable tube, adult and junior water skis, kneeboard, kayaks, paddleboards (including a windsurf attachment), snorkeling gear, and two underwater scooters.

RHAPSODY II feels far bigger than her 55 feet suggest. She looks fantastic, the crew is proven and talented, and the aft deck outdoor dining area — complete with hanging chairs and a full bar — is a real highlight.

Charter Reviews
Thank you so much for an incredible week in paradise. The boat and food were amazing. Your expertise in guiding us through the islands and beautiful coves helped us create many wonderful memories. Thank you both for your hospitality!!
Thank you for making the 60th Birthday the most amazing time ever. You entertained all of our questions about every island. You showed us what true hospitality means. We could not have asked for more gracious hosts. Thank you and God Bless your future adventures!
Thank you so much for an absolutely amazing week. We loved everywhere we went as well as the fantastic food! Appreciate all the attention to details!
Best Wishes...
Terry, Ruth, the Yacht, the entire trip was fabulous! We were able to enjoy all the amenities, (diving, waterskiing, banana boating, paddle boards), the food was fabulous, cocktails were flowing, and perfect weather. And yes, the only negative is the week went by too quickly.
My husband Vince even asked if they had limoncello and there was only one drink left so Ruth surprised us by contacting her off charter crew friends who arrived in their dinghy with a full bottle!
I would definitely recommend this crew without hesitation.
Thank you!
Cindy

9. Overall Satisfaction: The entire experience was amazing. Terry and Ruth were wonderful. You can really tell the difference between a seasoned crew and the younger crews we’ve experienced in the past. Terry was always whistling and cheerful, had endless patience teaching us all about Cat vs Mono sailing and the quirks of the yacht, answered a thousand questions and never once seemed put out by our endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge.
Ruth’s meals were outstanding and she is a warm and cheerful presence on the boat. We loved the size of yacht for 8 of us-her spacious deck space, the big fly deck, the cabins…everything. The layout with the galley being down below made it seem as if meals magically appeared out of nowhere. That was a fun surprise as we hadn’t been on a Cat with that configuration before.
We would give this boat and crew our HIGHEST recommendation. This is now our 4th crewed charter in the VI’s and they the prize in every category. First class crew, first class cuisine, first class vessel.

My experience was by far better than I could have imagined. The boat fit all of us perfectly with enough room to find our own space, yet small enough for intimate meals. It was important to all of us to have our own bathrooms, so enough said about that.
Let's talk crew -- Ruth & Terry... I do not know where to start as they were flawless, fun, communicative, smart, detailed+++! Every question we asked about the BVI's or the ocean in general they could answer. To watch the dynamic duo in their element was a spectacular flow of energy whether it was anchoring, sailing, making beds, meal prep, dive prep, cooking spectacular meals, showing us brilliant dive/snorkel spots and following us around to pick up after us made our journey unforgettable. I highly recommend choosing this crew hands-down! Terry's sense of humor (his April fools joke got us good!) suggesting to take slow-mo video from his dingy and his quick comebacks kept us laughing. Ruth's MOST AMAZING meals EVER!!! Nuff said! We are a group of well-traveled individuals, with sophisticated palates and she blew our minds night after night. They are a solid team and so refreshing to watch them do their thing, whatever it was.
Thank you to all of you! You guys make travel dreams come true.
Fondly,
Arden G
