Lagoon 52ft - 2018

Island Hoppin'

Yacht description

Island Hoppin’ is a really lovely 2018 Lagoon 52 catamaran – at the 2018 crewed yacht show she won “Best in Show” – so well deserved as the yacht is pristine and the crew are wonderful. Layout is four queen cabins plus a bunk room, each with ensuite bathrooms that feature separate showers. Normally the crew will take a queen cabin, but if you prefer they will swap and use the bunk room. The lounge area includes the galley so you can sit back in the comfortable leather sofas and watch the chef prepare your mouthwatering meals.

This yacht has tons of outdoor space and lots of areas to either have privacy or accommodate a group. The upstairs “third floor” flybridge is always the most popular spot as it’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy sundowners or keep a look out for dolphins when underway. Forward there is another seating area with comfy lounging cushions. There is also a huge cockpit at the back of the boat for al fresco dining – enough room for 8 people easily.

Penny's personal opinion

Why book Island Hoppin’ – UNDER WATER ADVENTURE – Captain Taylor is a dive instructor so there are three dives a week per person included in your charter fee. PLUS they have two water scooters! These are so much fun – your own underwater propulsion unit for snorkeling and diving.

Onboard experience

Crew profile
Bryan was born and raised in Jupiter, Florida where his love for the ocean began. As a teenager he would spend his days with his friends at the beach, often free diving just off of the shore or near the Jupiter Inlet for lobsters. After graduation Bryan spent a few years working in the hospitality industry, in various country clubs and restaurants but always yearned for more. At 21 he got a job as a deckhand on board a charter boat in St. Croix, USVI, and never looked back.

Reviews

  • This was our second trip on Island Hoppin and the trip was simply outstanding. Starting with the staff Dean and Yana they covered every detail from making us feel at home for the week. The boat itself was very comfortable and has all the water toys to enjoy the ocean and beaches. Dean is a certified PADI scuba diver and he provided a quick refresher for me to renew my PADI credentials and before I knew it we were exploring super cool caves and sea life at the ocean floor. Yana’s cooking and mixology of drinks kept us happy and kept the party going from sun up to sun down.

    Both Dean and Yana have an interesting background and we enjoyed sharing stories about the different places we are from and places we have been. The route that Dean set us on took us to some of the most beautiful islands and beaches in the Virgin Islands and we fell in love with at least 10 places. Our favorite was the Baths beach on Virgin Gorda. In general a truly amazing time and one of the best adventures ever.

  • The Very Best! – Captain Dean and Chef Yana were perfect hosts and companions for our vacation. They were in touch with us before we arrived, set up the transfers, read our information sheet and prepared accordingly, planned an itinerary that aligned with our preferences, professionally managed customs, were flexible with meal planning to accommodate our plans, Captain Dean knew all of the great places to go in the VI, Chef Yana prepared gorgeous, delicious meals each day, and they were always a step ahead in their preparations for the next event. In addition to providing outstanding professional services, they are absolutely delightful! Dean and Yana are welcoming and kind. We enjoyed talking with them about many things and their passion for nature and conservation shown through. During our sail, we had a secret marriage proposal planned. Dean recommended the perfect spot and coordinated the day so that we had a fun day scootering and snorkeling on Anegada and then he met us at the end of the day to film the surprise proposal with his drone and brought chilled champagne for the toast. Yana set a beautiful table and prepared a lovely dinner. These two made this event super special and memorable. We absolutely love Dean and Yana and hope that we are able to book another charter while they are crewing Island Hoppin’ charter.
    This was a no-hassle, no-worry vacation from start to finish. Just perfect! Highly recommend this charter!
