Crew Information
Captain: Brandon Grant
MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Brandon Grant
CHEF: Alessia Colantoni
We are a fun loving, energetic and highly motivated couple who have been dating for over 5 years and here to continue our dream of working together onboard catamaran charters.
Our passion for the ocean and exploration drives us, as well as our love for entertaining guests and ensuring our guests are fully fulfilled by the end of charter.
Born and raised on the beautiful coastline of Ballito – The Dolphin Coast, South Africa, Brandon’s passion for the ocean started at a young age through his father. Over the years he gathered 16 years of skippering experience, mainly on deep sea fishing adventures. He attained his RYA Yatchtmaster in 2015 which led him to his first catamaran delivery from Capetown to Seychelles, followed by another one from
Greece to Maldives where his love for freediving and surfing blossomed. He then followed his fishing dreams and captained a sports fishing charter out of Seychelles where he stayed for the next 3 years.
Once meeting Alessia, there quest to work on a boat together found them running catamaran charters in St Maarten followed
by Antigua. Their ability to run great charters was evident and their craving for adventure grew which led them to the beautiful BVIs.
Born in Pretoria, South Africa, Alessia was raised in an Italian family where she learnt to cook authentic italian cuisine from a young age. Alessia’s mom owned 3 restaurants along with a few pasta shops, and through the combination of her Nonna's and her mother and father, her skills and passion for cooking were a given.
Alessia is a strong sportswoman and she qualified in swimming for the Olympics at the age of 16.
Alessia's father is also an avid scuba diver and she learnt at age 9 to scuba dive and it is still a favorite past time and combined with time at their family game lodge this feeds her undying love and respect for nature, animals and the ocean.
After school she moved to the seaside - the coastline of Ballito, South Africa - where she studied hospitality and met Brandon. Her studies led her to the Maldives, doing her internship in the food and beverage/kitchen/café departments. Alessia also has immense patience and a love for kids of all ages. Her young heart and caring nature will have kids well entertained and cared for on charters.
With Brandon’s background and mission plus Alessia's thirst for new adventures she attained her stewardess course in Cape Town and soon after her and Brandon set their hearts on chartering boats together and combining their skills into one beautiful
experience for guests.
Brandon and Alessia cannot wait for you to join them on Pura Vida for a wonderful Virgin Island vacation.

Reviews
We loved chilling on the boat in the sun. We enjoyed Soggy dollar at White Bay, but enjoyed having a drink with Brandon and Alessia at Ivan's Stress Free Bar the most.
So beautiful. We loved using all the water toys, especially the SUPS.
This week has been magical.
We went for my partner‘s 50th birthday and it was the best decision we’ve made.Captain Brandon and Alessia give us the best trip we could possibly imagine and more. Anything we wanted, they helped us get. From deciding where to go on a day by day basis, to offering activities, we can try, to the food that Alessia prepared, the whole thing was amazing. We even caught fish and ate it fresh that night! There was always a delightful spread on the table and drinks flowing.
We were able to go on hikes, sea waterfalls, go to caves and pools, and explore some of the islands. There is something for everyone.
Would recommend this trip, and these hosts to anyone!!
Brandon and Alessia made the entire trip - one we will never forget. The chillness and laid back vibes was so our speed. the attention to detail, the custom meals (YUM!) and the care put into making us feel special was next level.
Jess
Brandon and Alessia, thanks for making everything first rate - "Everything" and I do mean EVERYTHING... was just perfect including the privacy you gave us.
Love you guys
'Til next time
Matt
Brandon and Alessia made the trip personal and special. From the home cooked meals to dives and our endless questions. They made it fun, adventurous and an overall wonderful vacation for our two families. This was the perfect break from reality - loved it all!!!
The best crew ever, Alessia and Brandon, who were so friendly and helplful!
BEST CREW EVER!
BEST CREW EVER!!!
Pura Vida and the crew, Brandon and Alessia are top notch.
Incredible cuisine
Enjoyed the relaxation the most and relaxing in the water. Other favorites were the Baths and coming through the infamous split in the reef for dinner at Coco Mayo.
Brandon and Alessia were a delight to charter with.
Just perfect
Your attention to detail from the tablescapes to everything "safety" related was so appreciated. Your teamwork together (Love) was a joy to watch. Let us know how you're doing occasionally, we'd love to "keep up"
Snorkeling around the carious reefs with the white sand, watching for tarpon at night.
Endless food and drink - Loved it!!!
On February 23 my two brothers and their wives and myself took off on a trip of a lifetime! Our Captain Andre and his wife/ chef Magda were amazing. They took great care to make sure we had a trip to remember FOREVER. We had such a great time and the sites were unbelievable. The food was beyond what I ever could have imagined. The crew made us feel welcome from the first moment we met them until we had to say our sad goodbyes. They really went above and beyond to make sure that we saw as much of the BVI as possible. I would highly recommend sailing with Andre and Magda if you plane to see the BVI in the future. Thanks again for everything you did for us to make this a memorable vacation!!!!!! Don Myers
Date of experience: February 2024
The food was also so special, with several highlights such as fresh mahi ceviche and sashimi!
And the boat was perfect: VERY new, impeccable, fully functional.
Our family of 5 would recommend this trip without blinking!!
