We first met Alberto in the early 1990′s when he was the Captain of a 90′ powerboat in located for charter out of San Remo, Italy. Alberto had worked with others to bring that motor yacht and several others to French Polynesia to the Society Islands for charter. Sadly the yacht sold before it could be brought to the Society Islands; however Alberto returned and stayed home for a number of years.

A Vanilla Plantation in Tahaa

In Tahaa, Alberto has both a Black Pearl Farm and a Vanilla Farm, manned by his family and local workers. Five years ago, he left Tahaa and returned to the yachting world and has been working since as a Yacht Captain. Alberto showed us his personal vanilla bean stash on board Impulsive, which he keeps in a humidity controlled locker.

Charter guests enjoy a little extra on board Impulsive, such as vanilla bean coffee made with vanilla infused from Alberto’s home grown vanilla bean pods from his vanilla plantation in Tahaa. You never know when you charter a yacht, what other great adventures and experiences you will encounter. Charter Impulsive, and be served true vanilla bean sorbet made from Captain Alberto’s vanilla bean pods.

The world is truly your oyster, which is made ever apparent in the mobile and international world of yachting and yacht charter.
