Ideal for families, couples, or groups of friends, this 54-foot catamaran offers expansive living spaces, stylish comfort, and smart design throughout.

The yacht’s soft, modern lines and designer finishes make every moment aboard feel luxurious yet relaxed.

Inside, Dante boasts a bright and breezy layout that includes a well-ventilated U-shaped galley perfect for gourmet creations, a large chart table with sweeping sea views, and a versatile saloon-dining area that transitions effortlessly from enclosed comfort to open-air elegance.

Meet Your Crew

Capt. Brad Needham

As a North Carolina native, one of Brad’s earliest memories is sailing with his father in the Pamlico Sound on the family boat, a 12’O’day Widgeon. By age ten, he could singlehandedly sail the family boat, and he spent many summers attending sailing camp, ultimately joining the staffas an instructor by age sixteen. He continued teaching sailing while attending the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, sharing his passion by helping others learn the craft. Having graduated from N.C. State University with a degree in mechanical engineering, he also has a keen awareness of the inner workings of many vessel systems. His combination of formal engineering training and real-world troubleshooting experience means he's equally comfortable consulting technical manuals or improvising solutions when the unexpected inevitably occurs on the water. Brad also has a strong background in hospitality, having worked in both front and back of house positions in numerous hotels, restaurants and bars while pursuing his undergraduate degree. Brad worked as an engineer for a private company in Homer, Alaska, traveling throughout the U.S. and internationally to Turkmenistan for border security installations, but was soon reacquainted with his need to be on the water after taking a vacation cruising around Florida on a friend’s 28’Cape Dory. This prompted a career change into charter fishing boats in Alaska, and subsequently multiple boat deliveries along the Inside Passage, and throughout the Caribbean. With over 40,000 NM under his belt, spanning from the Atlantic coast, the rugged north Pacific and the Virgin Islands, Brad is an accomplished captain and enjoys sharing his experiences with others. 

Growing up sailing with my Dad, I found the love for the ocean at an early age. After a few years off the water, I got back into sailing in SF Bay, enjoying racing and charters both. I have worked with USA76, a former America's cup IACC yacht, since 2018. I have done some commercial fishing in Alaska as well as some sport fish guiding and working on large yachts. I worked as the maintenance director and a Captain on a pair of Santa Cruz 70’s in Monterey Bay for two years. I then made my way to the Caribbean to get some sun and share my love of the ocean breeze with all the great people I get to take out on the water.

I hold a 100 ton near coastal Master license with STCW, Sail and Assistance Towing endorsements. My philosophy as a Captain is to provide a safe fun atmosphere with the highest levels of service. Let’s laugh together and enjoy all the islands have to offer.

 

Chef Zoe Gahan

 Growing up in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, Zoe developed a natural affinity for water, spending summers enjoying fishing trips, water sports, and wilderness canoeing. The family story goes that her love for fine foods began with her first ever bite of solid food as a baby: fresh homemade focaccia. Since she can remember, cooking and serving food to loved ones has been a passion and deep source of joy. With a background in a family-owned community newspaper, Zoe gained valuable experience in customer service, management, and organization. These skills translate perfectly to her role as mate and chef. Her fine arts education enhances her culinary presentations, where she combines technique with creativity to deliver meals that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Zoe's international travels have always centered around exploring local cuisines, enriching her diverse cooking style. 

When the publishing industry began changing, Zoe sought new horizons and made the bold decision to drive to Alaska sight unseen. After her first day working on a charter fishing boat in Alaska, she knew she had found a special calling working on the water, and worked on a variety of vessels in Alaska ranging from 28’to 65’. Now having earned her captain's license, she continues to expand her maritime knowledge with every voyage, which includes vessel deliveries from the Virgin Islands to both Grenada and Florida.

 

Brad and Zoe met in Alaska almost 9 years ago (for a funny story, ask how!) and they've been working on charter vessels, both independently and as a team since then. They are happiest when on the water, whether it’s fishing or sharing good food and laughter with new and old friends alike. ​

Together, Brad and Zoe make an exceptional team—combining his seasoned seamanship and engineering expertise with her artistic culinary flair and warm hospitality. Whether he’s navigating the perfect course or troubleshooting systems at sea, and she’s crafting visually stunning, flavor-forward dishes, their shared love for the water and genuine delight in creating memorable experiences ensure every charter is seamless, safe, and supremely satisfying. Together, they look forward to welcoming you aboard and turning each voyage into a celebration of adventure, friendship, and outstanding service.

Previous Guest Testimonials

  • Guest Reviews from Previous Yacht

    Wow! I don’t know where to begin! The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. The amenities on the boat are top notch, and of course the islands and scenery are beautiful; the hosts Brad and Zoe are the shining stars. We felt like welcome special guests at all times. They were ever present when needed and quietly in the background when we were relaxing. The crew is so important on this sort of vacation, and in that regard PurelyBlu is just perfect and easy. Anyone who boats will understand that there are many variables that can derail plans, but we never felt anything was a bit of trouble or out of reach. Just a special and perfect vacation for our multi-generational group.

Brad & Zoe make the greatest team and the success of the vacation would not be possible without them. They truly have a special place in our hearts. I am so grateful for this opportunity. THANK YOU! x 1000. Thank you all so so much for such a truly amazing week. This was something none of us have ever experienced and you all sure showed us it better than anyone else could. We will forever remember you all and this for a lifetime.

    Our family had a magical week on PurelyBlu. Captain Brad and Zoe were unbelievable. Their preparation and adaptability made everyone feel special. We could not have asked for a more attentive team to take care of us. We can't wait to do this again! Cheers!

    An unbelievable week! truly a bucket list experience for all types of people. The boat is beautiful as are the islands. However, our week was truly made by the care and effort of Brad and Zoe. I can't sing higher praises. Much love to PurelyBlu, I hope we meet again.

    Cruising the islands on PurelyBlu for a week was a perfect vacation! Captain Brad and Zoe made the experience — I can't imagine having anyone take better care of us! I'm sure I gained 5lbs from Zoe's wonderful cooking, but it was worth it! Brad helped plan our days which included snorkeling, diving, sightseeing, eating & drinking!! Whatever we wanted — they were very hospitable and accommodating! The boat was always pristine and well maintained. I'm hoping I get to do this again with them sometimes — I am so thankful my son and family included me on this wonderful trip!

They were there when we needed them and ghosts when it was family time. They always seemed to anticipate our needs. Overall this will go down as one of our best family vacations.

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to sail with Brad and Zoe. It was our first time in the area and we were not disappointed. Fantastic views, culture, beaches and the boat was pristine. Brad and Zoe were amazing hosts and we really appreciated the effort to accommodate our family’s needs. The itinerary was fantastic, especially since we had no idea what we were stepping into. Thank you again for everything! We hope to come back soon and do it again. We’ve been talking about this trip for years. We had a picture in our minds for how the week might go and PurelyBlu and Brad and Zoe did not disappoint — exceeded our expectations! It has been our very best family vacation so far. When we come back to the BVI…. we will definitely come back. Thank you so much for the fantastic week and wonderful memories.

    We had a beautiful week on PurelyBlu. The British Virgin Islands are beautiful and Brad and Zoe were experts at navigating the days of our trip. Whether we wanted a day of relaxing, snorkeling, site-seeing, they had the perfect recommendation everytime! The food was amazing with each meal more creative and better than the last. The careful attention paid to our food preferences left each of our five family members happy. The atmosphere and service enabled us to share special family time we don’t often get. We can’t thank Zoe and Brad enough for curating such a magical trip.

    I especially loved how special Zoe and Brad made the week for us. They were very thoughtful hosts who definitely made the trip even better than it could have been. They went out of their way to make sure each spot we went was special - whether that meant best view of a sunset, most secluded, or close to a beautiful beach! We will miss you both and wish you the best with future charters!

    P.S. I loved playing Quiddler with y’all!

    P.P.S. Zoe’s food is amazing!
