About this 2025 Lagoon 55
Launched in 2025, Stella Mare is a Lagoon 55 sailing catamaran built for a polished, active week in the British Virgin Islands. Four ensuite double cabins sleep up to eight guests, while the two-person crew keeps to their own cabin amidships so service stays attentive without ever feeling crowded.,Inside, the saloon leans bright and airy thanks to overhead skylights and wraparound windows, with a stereo and projector on hand for movie nights and a proper espresso machine for slower mornings. Air conditioning and fans run throughout the cabins and saloon, and a water maker plus ice maker keep the boat self-sufficient in the Caribbean heat.,Outside is where this cat really stretches out: a covered flybridge with its own wet bar, fridge, and LED-lit hardtop bimini sits above an aft cockpit built for lounging and alfresco dining, complete with a grill, second fridge, sink, and ice maker. Up front, a C-shaped foredeck lounge with a fold-out sunshade adds another spot to relax, and a hydraulic swim platform makes getting in and out of the water easy. Cork decking keeps bare feet cool underfoot even in full sun.,Adventure is well covered too, with a toy locker that includes a Waydoo e-foil, sea scooters, paddleboards, a wakeboard, a towable tube, waterskis, snorkel gear, and an inflatable floating dock, plus a BVI fishing license for guests who want to try their luck offshore. Divers can arrange rendezvous dives with a local operator, since the boat doesn’t carry its own compressor or tanks.

Meet the Crew
Stella Mare carries a compact two-person team who split their time between the helm and the galley. Captain Ariel grew up in the British Virgin Islands, spent his teenage years in Thailand, and returned home at 18 to build his career on local boats before working up to command — holding an IYT 200-tonne license and STCW certification, he takes visible pride in showing guests his home islands. On the culinary side, chef Matea (aboard through the end of July 2026) trained in nutrition science and brings a health-conscious, flavor-forward style inspired by her mother’s home cooking. She hands off for the 2026-2027 season to chef Julia, who trained with Le Cordon Bleu and the Australian Patisserie Academy, has a hospitality background in Sydney, and specializes in from-scratch baking and family-style meals.
