Your Crew
CAPTAIN Madison Severy & CAPITAN John Livergood
Together
John and Madison have both spent years running dive operations across Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and California. Guests aboard PurelyBlu get a captain and chef who read the water the same way, which means dive days, snorkel stops, and shoreside plans are built by two people who already know what the conditions will allow. Madison cooks for guests who came here for the water. John gets them there.
PurelyBlu — what can we say… best charter ever!!
PurelyBlu — what can we say… best charter ever!!
We had a fantastic time! Starting with the PurelyBlu owners stepping up to offer us a charter for our week after our charter that had been booked for a year was cancelled at the last minute! Thank you so much to the owners and the crew!
The PurelyBlu is a beautiful boat — fantastic layout with big bathrooms and great water-making ability! The Tenderlift at the back of the boat was amazing, especially for us older folks! It made it so easy to get in and out of the water.
Very comfortable areas on the boat, behind the captain and in front — great for lounging! And the back table was perfect for eating and games!
The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Slept like a baby! We will definitely miss being rocked to sleep every night!
But it was our crew who made our vacation so very special — they were both absolutely amazing. Captain Sammy was so knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable on the boat. He has great southern charm, and is funny and entertaining. He took us to some AMAZING spots and was always quick to remind us that this was our vacation and he wanted to make it special for us. And he did!
Chef Marisol is an exceptional chef. Her creativity, flavors, and presentation made us feel like we were at a 5-star resort every day. She was very conscientious about our food likes and dislikes, and every meal was so special, just for us.
She worked tirelessly to make sure we were well taken care of.
Can't wait to charter again… and hope it's with this crew!
Cheers!! — Matt and Janet
Spring Break family charter
We booked PurelyBlu for a family vacation over Spring Break, and it honestly exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel completely taken care of — nothing was too much to ask, and they genuinely seemed to love what they do.
The food alone was worth the trip. Every meal felt like an experience — fresh, beautifully presented, and somehow exactly what we were craving. The kids were just as well fed and happy as we were.
But the highlight? The pirate scavenger hunt. Our kids (ages 4 and 7) are still talking about it. The crew went all out — treasure maps, clues hidden around the boat, the works. It wasn't some generic activity to keep the kids busy. It was thoughtful, creative, and had our kids absolutely losing their minds with excitement. They felt like real pirates on a real adventure, and my husband and I got to just sit back and watch them have the time of their lives.
Between the incredible snorkeling spots, the water toys, and the most stunning anchorages, every single day felt like its own little adventure. PurelyBlu doesn't just run a charter — they create an experience your family will never forget.
We're already talking about when we're going back.
