Ocean Vibes Crew Profile
Captain
Chef / First Mate
Capt. Max Craven
Max´s love affair with the sea began early in life, and it´s been a lifelong journey of adventure and discovery. Born and raised in the UK near the water, Max´s passion for sailing grew as he did. He is Yacht master qualified and happiest at when at sea.
Although Max initially pursued a career in the banking in the city, the call of the open water was too strong to resist and so he decided to leave the corporate world behind and embarked on a new adventure as a yacht charter captain. It was a life-altering decision that allowed him to prioritize his passion.
With extensive experience in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Polynesia. These vibrant and diverse cruising grounds have become his second home, and knows many hidden gems and secret coves that these regions have to offer. For Max, the British Virgin Islands are more than just a destination; they´re his home. Nestled among these pristine islands, Max has cultivated deep connections with the local community, ensuring that every charter feels like a warm and inviting journey through his own backyard.
Growing up in a big, close-knit family, Max understands the importance of creating a sense of family and belonging on every charter. He strives to infuse every voyage with a welcoming atmosphere, where guests can forge lasting memories with loved ones, friends and us.
Chef Elise Lindbergh
Elise was initiated into the culinary world by her food-centered family. As a child, she would help cultivate the garden, and her family would invite friends to join them in the spacious kitchen to help make homemade pasta. Elise’s father then would select the best tomatoes and basil leaves from the garden to make the sauce. Everyone would then gather outside to enjoy the meal as the sun was setting. This was a beloved social event. Elise’s devotion to food blossomed, and at the age of 14 she started a baking business where she would be commissioned to bake elaborate specialty fondant cakes. She continued this business throughout high school. While studying anthropology and philosophy at Bowdoin College in Maine, she started selling her homemade hummus and cooking weekly meals with her friends. After she graduated, she received a scholarship to attend an 8-week culinary course in Virginia, taught by recognized Swiss Master Chef Rolf Strub, and under the direction of Chef Antwon Brinson. Her culinary interests are informed by her world travels, which include a 9-month stay in India, a month in Nepal, and multiple stays in Europe and Central America. She further honed her culinary skills in the three seasons she worked in the Caribbean as a yacht chef.
Her cuisine is strongly influenced by Asian, French, and Central American methods, ingredients, and philosophies of food. She believes a meal should be both a social event and an experience that titillates all of the senses. Her food is flavorful, colorful, and uses the freshest ingredients. She prides herself on making her own bread, pastries, sauces, and fermented goods to enhance every meal and make every dining experience homemade. She wakes up well before sunrise and uses time as her specialty ingredient - allowing her bread to rise, sauces to marinate, and flavors to infuse. Your meals on board will both excite you and nourish you. Elise’s dishes are exquisite; some of them can be found on her Instagram page, @galley_of_Elise.
Additionally, Elise is as comfortable at the helm as in running the galley: she holds a 200gt Master of Yachts Unlimited ticket, which includes celestial navigation - please ask her about constellations!
Third Stewardess Susanna Rice
Susanna was born in England and has lived in Tortola since she was 6 weeks old. She considers herself to be a true island girl! She enjoys sailing, archery, swimming, wakeboarding, snorkeling, diving, volunteering at the Humane Society, hiking, snowboarding, and traveling. She has been very fortunate to travel to many parts of the world but her heart belongs in Tortola.
Susanna grew up around yachts. Her parents owned and operated an Irwin 65 called Endless Summer II, and she would be down on the docks helping prep for charter and eventually moved on to work on the yacht as stewardess and cook. She loves interacting with people from many parts of the world - yachting and hospitality flow in her blood! She has worked on many boats ranging from 40’ to 100’ both in the BVI and in the Mediterranean. She has sailed boats from the BVI to Baltimore, from Monaco to the Balearic Islands and from Florida to the BVI.
She enjoys giving people a vacation of a lifetime, whether it is by tantalizing your taste buds with a special cocktail, giving you an island tour, taking you on a snorkel adventure or simply by telling you stories about the British Virgin Islands.

Captain Max, Chef Elise and Stewardess Susanna,
Thank you so much for hosting me on the beautiful Ocean Vibes for the broker luncheon on Tuesday, and for the super fun Dock Hop last night. You are a dream team and I enjoyed getting to know each of you on a personal level.
Captain Max - you make a mean Espresso Martini. I vote youthe best“shaker´ in all of the BVI’s.
Chef Elise - Every course of your luncheon was perfected executed with stunning plate presentation, flavorprofilesand creativity.
Stewardess Susanna - Your genuine kindness and natural hospitality were a joy toexperience. I loved hearing about your garden and harvesting from your own property on Tortola.
The attention to detail, top notch hospitality and delicious cuisine set you apart in your class of luxury crewed charters. You earned 5 Stars all around and deserve to be celebrated!
I hope you have a spectacular season ahead and I hope I have the privilege of booking guests with you.

This truly has been one of the best vacations! So many memories to take home and cherish. Our Captain Max was wonderful to get to know, so knowledgeable of the best places to take us, the vessel (we always felt safe) and he even can grill up a storm! Sue was so sweet and catered to our every need. She made sure we had everything and was such a pleasure to be around. Our chef Elise was not only a delight to be around but prepared the most delicious meals. Her expertise with food is incredible and her attention to detail and love she put into every dish was amazing. Thank you so much for this truly incredible experience that was so great because of the three of you! Until the next time!

We cannot thank them enough for all their hard work, diligence, care and attention to detail; it’s truly been a once in a lifetime experience that money can’t buy. Loved every single minute.

“Pinch me because I might be dreaming” has been a common phrase to this trip. Salty smiles, giggles over warm breeze, turtle spotted, deserted beaches found, dreams made, expectations exceeded over and over with all trimmings and then some. An incredible boat but made possible by the most beautiful, generous people with knowledge, attention to detail and every intention to deliver the most unforgettable experience.
Forever grateful, full of memories, full belly, full heart.
With love and gratitude,

Thank you for the most incredible TRIP of A Lifetime! BVI did not disappoint! Heaven on earth!
There were 8 of us that chose Ocean Vibes as our magnificent vessel. We utilized every space on the boat and could not have been more pleased! The Crew! Elise, Max & Sue! They made this adventure absolutely perfect.
The food was off the chart delicious. Every morsel was prepared to perfection by Elise. She takes such pride in her presentation and preparation. Sue kept our rooms neat and fulfilled every request we had. She made us feel at home. Then there was our fearless Captain, Max! He navigated the boat to destinations we could have only imagined. The 3 of them worked so hard, yet, made it seem effortless! Our every need was met and we truly had a perfect vacation- Proper Classic! Well— with the exception of Bill not. Driving the dingy :) I guess we will be forced to return!
We are so blessed to have experienced such perfection! God is Good!
Many Thanks!

Ocean Vibes has been an amazing home over the past week. Each day we woke up to the most beautiful sights, delicious breakfast, & a fun refreshing jump (or push) into the water. The most relaxing family vacation we´ve had. Thank you Max, Sue & Elise for sharing your Christmas traditions with us, & for making our trip so memorable.

What an amazing adventure to celebrate some of our 60th birthdays and a wonderful friendship! We will never forget all of the fun we had with Captain Dan and Elise! The food was some of the best we´ve ever had and so delicious everyday! We truly enjoyed playing “Three” at night, snorkeling, sailing. All the stops at islands like Bitter End, Soggy Dollar, Foxy´s – too many to mention, all of them! It was truly a trip of a lifetime and we truly appreciate everything!

The crew of Ocean Vibes were absolutely amazing. To me, having the right crew is an important part of having a good vacation. Captain Sergio, Chef Neen and Chief Stew Brittney were absolutely amazing. They are the best crew sailing the high seas since Captain Jack Sparrow! What an amazing way to tour the BVI´s! Can´t wait to do it again.

Dear Neen, Britnie, and Sergio. Thank you for an absolute spectacular week in your company! The boat is fantastic, and the islands wonderful – but you made it all stand out in a very special way. We felt safe, incredibly (!) well fed, serviced and spoiled by all 3 of you. You are a wonderful team, and we would love if our paths crossed again. All the very best!

Let me start by thanking you all for the most spectacular week! From the cocktails and tablescapes to the incredible tasting dishes and views from the boat, we couldn´t have asked for a better crew or a more perfect vacation. This was a once in a lifetime trip and your pre-planning of every detail allowed us to relax at a whole new level. Thank you again for your constant hospitality and for welcoming us into your floating home. This will be a core memory for years to come. Hope to see you again soon! Andrea & Tyler.

We´ve never been so well cared for or fed in all of our travels. Sergio, Neen & Britnie elevated a mind blowing boat & a place of divinity. This has been an experience we may spend a lifetime trying to match. All of our love, Steve & Linda Skrla.

What a magical week!! Hard to know where to even begin. The crew of the Valhalla created the perfect environment for my proposal to fiancé! Sergio picked out the prefect beach for us at sunset. Britnie captured the moment, both candid and staged, with beautiful photographs, and Chef Neen cooked up a feast of crab. We will never forget the experience : The crew of Valhalla feels like family.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
