Yacht Description
S/V Physalia, crewed and operated by her owners Chris and Kaya.
Masters level marine scientists, Chris & Kaya can offer your clients a deep immersion into the ocean world, each of them able to engage in discussion on any point of curiosity about the ocean, geology, and wildlife that abound in the Virgin Islands.
They also cater to specialty water sports including kitesurfing and wing-foiling support, as well as onboard SCUBA diving with diving instruction available.
Possibly unique to Physalia, they even have a 15’ double/single scull crew-style row boat on-board in addition to their normal dinghy.
They love treating their guests to out of the way anchorages, scenic naturalist guided hikes, fishing, free diving, paddle boarding, and kayaking. Their top-notch culinary offerings feature local ingredients and cuisines from around the world and have gotten rave reviews.
The third member of the crew and official ship’s ambassador is a very well-behaved and well-trained local pup named Waldo who melts hearts everywhere he goes. Please consider them for your clients, they won’t be disappointed!
Presented by Amwax Prime, the breathtaking charter yacht PHYSALIA is a 52 ft yacht. The key elements of PHYSALIA are her impeccable styling and culinary experience. She was completed by the ship builder Lagoon in 2007. A well-done refit was finalized in 2016 and 2022. The spacious yacht layout features 3 generous cabins and comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests.
