Villa

We intentionally chose a space that is a retreat in itself, sitting 100 feet above the Caribbean, it seamlessly blends into the ocean below. The infinity edge pool becomes one with the waves that extend to the jagged edges of the British Virgin Islands in the far distance. Along the way are small islands, scattered everywhere, adding breathtaking drama to the ocean’s architecture.

The Boat

Get hands on experience sailing, take the helm, or assist lifting the main as we spend 2 days aboard this luxurious sailing catamaran, anchoring at various spots to freedive the waters, with space to lounge and relax between dives. This 42' boat was meticulously constructed in France and commissioned “green”. She has no fossil fuel–powered, noisy generator, yet provides her guests the comforts of home, such as air conditioning throughout.

Gabrielle Joy & Jerah Lena

We are two great friends and water women who have pushed through our own personal boundaries through the challenges of the ocean. We’ve sailed, surfed, freedove, spearfished, studied, and fell in love with the ocean life together. As moms, we have had to push through our own limitations and fight for this lifestyle. We didn’t grow up immersed in the ocean world, but both felt an innate connection to it. We trained, experienced, held on, and came out more confident each time. It is from our heart that we curate these experiences so that we can all step into our most desired versions of ourselves and live a life that we feel a calling towards. We love you & are so grateful you are here.
