7 Day Bora Bora Charter Itinerary

Florian, CiCi & Michael,

Thank you for the most memorable vacation we’ve ever had. Everything was absolutely perfect. Maybe we’ll see you again on a future trip!

Love Izzy & Mark

Dear Florian, Michael & SiSi,

Thank you for one of the best vacations we have ever had! The attention to detail by every crew member really sets Purpose apart. The pride you take in providing first class service is evident in everything you do, plus you all are so pleasant and fun to be around and talk to.

Truly, we can’t thank you enough and hope that we see you again soon! Thailand 2028? 🙂

With gratitude,
Rachel + Hans

From the moment we stepped aboard the catamaran, it was evident we had made an exceptional choice. The vessel offered abundant space, allowing everyone to find their own comfortable corner whether seeking sun, shade, or a quiet moment to enjoy the sea breeze.

The crew truly elevated our experience with their professional yet personable approach. Their accommodating nature and flexibility with our itinerary meant we could truly customize our journey. Whether we wanted to linger longer at a particularly stunning cove or adjust our schedule for optimal swimming conditions, they graciously adapted to our preferences without hesitation.

The catamaran itself was impeccably maintained—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. Sleeping quarters provided a restful retreat after days filled with adventure, while the common areas offered plenty of room for our group to gather without ever feeling crowded.

Perhaps the most unexpected highlight was the culinary experience onboard. The cook's talents were simply extraordinary, preparing meals that consistently impressed our entire party. The food was so exceptional that we abandoned our initial plans to dine at local restaurants—nothing could compete with the fresh, delicious meals being served on deck. From breakfast to dinner, each dish was prepared with skill and care that would rival upscale dining establishments.

For anyone considering a private charter experience, I cannot recommend this catamaran and crew highly enough. They transformed what would have been a lovely vacation into an unforgettable journey of comfort, freedom, and indulgence on the water.
 

We had the most amazing time! PURPOSE is absolutely incredible! The catamaran is luxurious - pristine and in perfect condition. Everything is new with comfortable bedding, ample padded seating everywhere, and tons of fun water toys! And the crew - WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! That's how to describe Captain Florian, Sisi, and Chef Mike! Talk about hospitality - their service is world class!!! They met with us ahead of time to customize our trip, and everything was specially tailored to us - from the itinerary to menu to drinks. The food is absolutely divine! We felt like we were at a Michelin-star restaurant the entire trip. Meals were delicious, varied, creative, with beautiful presentation - all catered to our preferences and food sensitivities. We had tuna, snapper, duck, beef, curry in many cuisines - Caribbean, Asian, Italian, Mediterranean, and even Ethiopian! We had the right balance of activities and relaxation - spending each day exactly as we wanted, whether snorkeling with turtles and sting rays, hiking, checking out the towns, fishing, chilling, and of course plenty of sailing. 

PURPOSE is a 5-star luxury catamaran with a world-class crew and top-rate food! Strongly recommend!!!! 10 out of 10!!

This trip exceeded our expectations by a mile. This was our first experience with a crewed cat and chef and after one day I was wondering why we bareboat sailed all those years, shopping, cooking & cleaning.
Our captain, Florian, was incredibly accommodating. He was so thorough on instructions around the boat and picked a really diverse itinerary. He also chose anchorages that were within a short swim to excellent snorkeling. He pointed out things to us as we went along and was engaging and a very cheerful fellow. 
And Michael his crew and chef made wonderful meals, snacks and desserts and we never had to lift a finger.
All in all it was a dreamy vacation made all the more so by having a well appointed cat, and an excellent captain and chef/crew. We’d follow them around the world if we could.“

All the best

We had a group of 8 guest and really enjoyed a wonderful week being pampered by Florian and Mike
Floria guided us to many wonderful sights as well as some private and quiet spots. Purpose is a terrific yacht and easily accommodated us
Prince Michael treated us to one great meal after another such that we did not even want to leave our yacht to eat elsewhere

R. Dobel

Embarked on a charter for 4 couples through the Grenadines with Florian and Mike 
We had chosen the Grenadines as it is less crowded than the BVI and some slightly longer sailing stretches
Purpose was more than adequate for the waters and Florian took us to many beautiful anchorages as well as some of his private locations. Florian is also obviously very confident with his craft as he demonstrated many times that he can handle the yacht by himself
Our meals were also absolutely terrific. Chef Mike did and amazing job creating unique meals and presentations that we did not expect out on such a cruise. Most of us did not want to
Leave the yacht to even experiment dining ashore.

What a great way to truly unwind for a week! Florian and Camille were fantastic hosts and went out of their way to make our week onboard the Purpose fantastic. There were four of us in total – Mom, Dad and two kids – and Florian was able to create the perfect itinerary for us from Nassau down to Staniel Cay and back. We hit the popular spots, but Florian also had a few hidden gems that he had found exploring that really stood out to us. To top it all off, Camille did a wonderful job with every meal and really made them special with extra touches along the way. We all went home with big smiles and are, like others, talking about our next visit!

Our trip was amazing, thanks to the crew. Florian was fantastic. Our group ranged in age from 8-84 and we all loved our trip and have started talking about the next one. Florian paid special attention to each of us and helped us enjoy our time on Purpose. Highly recommend.

Cannot sing his praises enough. Sweet Caroline!

Purpose is such a beautiful sailing vessel and the captain and cook are the friendliest crew to be on board with! Highly recommend choosing Purpose for your charter, and make sure to have Flo set the scene for a catamaran dance party! Nothing but good things to say!

This crew kicked ass!!
Bart – 10/10 ! The most skilled seaman I have ever had the pleasure of sailing with.
And Dagmar…just her name makes my mouth water. Do not eat ashore ! Dagmar’s kitchen will beat any restaurant hands down. She’s also a nurse in case you’re feeling blue. What a gem she is !!
And sweet Maya – always a beautiful smile & positive energy. This trip was nothing short of magical.
Thank you Bart, Dagmar & Maya !!!
R & S.

Captain Bart kicks ass !
Best Captain I’ve had so far; Dagmar cooked the finest meals ever! Needs to do Youtube sailing cook show! I hope my son meets a girl like Maya…

– Came to learn Wingfoil -

Wow ! Wow ! Wow
I thought I knew what hospitality was, but Dagmar, Bart & Maya have truly set a new standard.
Firstly, everything was already considered and done before we needed to ask…
Second, any request was instantly supported. So great to be with the proud Captain- owners of the ZEN QUEST who went above and beyond everyday to make this the best run trip I have ever been on by a long stretch.
From a tiny kitchen we ate like kings from Dagmar’s creative and balanced menu…
Our foiling progress was patiently supported every day with new challenges under Bart’s experienced and watchful eyes.
Maya was a constant sunny and kind first mate, always at hands with a smile 😊
I feel like I’m leaving a family. Thank you !!!

Departing after 7 magnificent days sailing with my best mate, M.

Thank you for the best sailing, food & times to be had in Tahiti.
Cheers, T.K

Spectacular trip on Zen Quest -
Excellent service!
We had a spectacular experience sailing around Bora Bora on Zen Quest with two other couples.
The catamaran was spacious and beautiful, and the views were simply unforgettable.
Captain Bart, Dagmar, and Anna provided excellent service - warm, professional, and attentive.
Snorkeling with sharks and colorful fish was a highlight, and we enjoyed delicious gourmet meals every day.
Peaceful sunsets, crystal-clear lagoons, and perfect company made it all unforgettable.
Highly recommended for a luxurious and unique Bora Bora adventure!

GUESTS REPORTS
___________________________

“I have visited and stayed in beautiful accommodations across the world over many years of travels and I consider my time with the crew in French Polynesia as easily in my top three favorite all time vacations. I jokingly coined the term "Post-Travel-Depression" (PTD) to express the sadness of a wonderful trip ending. After this trip I experienced the longest PTD yet. Dagmar and Bart had an incredible way of making me feel at home, as part of the family while also spoiling us with deliciously nourishing food. It was a beautiful balance of the comfort of being home while experiencing the benefits of a perfect vacation (fun, adventure, amazing foods and drinks, constantly surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery). When deciding to go on this trip, I admittedly was hesitant to spend my 30th birthday on a boat with strangers when I don't touch adrenaline sports like kitesurfing and wing. But I couldn't have imagined a better birthday and the days surrounding it. I have no doubt embarking on this journey with this crew will also give you some PTD, but it will be worth it!”

____________________________

“Our experience with Dagmar and Bart on their boat was simply extraordinary. Starting with the marvelous food (dinner dishes worth Michelin star), going through their eagerness for letting us having a perfect stay all the time, and ending with the incredible expertise of Bart in kiting and watersports.
We are counting the days for repeating the experience with them!”

_____________________________

“The Zen Quest exceeded my expectations. Bart and Dagmar are lovely, easy-going hosts who serve up daily smiles, adventures and incredible meals. The boat itself is a 10; perfectly maintained, spacious, and intimate at the same time. Don’t hesitate to spend a holiday on the Zen Quest!”

______________________________

“Our experience aboard the Zen Quest with Bart and Dagmar was phenomenal! Truly one of the best trips we have ever taken together! Captain Bart is calm and capable, ensuring each guest’s safety. He knew just where to take us each day to find the best conditions for the next adventure! Each and every meal was a culinary masterpiece - expertly prepared and presented by Dagmar. They are a perfect team, joyfully doing the work to maximize the guest experience! Best in French Polynesia! Can’t wait to do it again!”

______________________________

“I have had the pleasure of being on the Zen Quest two times with Bart and Dagmar as hosts. The experience has always been wonderful. The quality of the food and service is impressive.
The boat is kept clean and very well maintained. They do a great job of planning the itinerary to see beautiful parts of the countries they visit. Including seeing the sea life and local culture. For many of us guests the draw is the access to the remote, beautiful areas of the world to play on the water. The wide variety of gear stocked on the boat makes this easy. To top it off Dagmar and Bart are very professional, interesting and just fun to be with! I would highly recommend the Zen Quest.”

“We had the incredible opportunity to sail with Bart and Dagmar through the breathtaking Tuamotus Archipelago for our honeymoon, and it was truly one of the most special trips of our lives. Bart and Dagmar are exceptional hosts (warm, welcoming, and passionate for what they do). The food on board was absolutely outstanding, and every moment was filled with fun, relaxation, and unforgettable memories. We couldn’t have asked for a better honeymoon!”
