Captain
Tyler van Roden
Nation: American
Born: 1987
License: USCG 100GT
Chef
Valentina Kochian
Captain Tyler van Roden grew up hunting in the woods of Pennsylvania and fishing along the New Jersey coastline. Later he attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa and the Semester at Sea program. Since 2013 he has run charter sailing yachts in French Polynesia, Western Mediterranean, North Eastern Caribbean and southern Sea of Cortez. His charters include activities such as, freediving, kiteboarding, spearfishing, scuba diving, fishing, surfing, shark dives, swimming with whales and dolphin encounters. Captain Tyler will often catch fresh seafood for his guests. After safety, his main priority is to understand his guests desires to provide the best tailored experience on the water possible.
Chef Valentina Kochian grew up diving in the Caribbean sea along the Mayan Riviera. She graduated with a degree in Marine Biology in Southern Baja California and now finds herself most days on a boat in search of big marine life encounters while providing tasty, healthy meals to keep her guests happy, full and energized for the next encounter. Valentina has crewed as chef in the Mediterranean, Sea of Cortez and French Polynesia, and loves adding the local fresh ingredients wherever she finds herself to make delicious plates. Valentina is also an AIDA freediving Instructor, so her time is spent between the galley and the dive line.
Valentina and Tyler met in the Bahamas in 2016 where they formed a bond that has led them to many water adventures. Now they are back in the Bahamas to continue those adventures in one of their favorite places on earth. They will be offering shark diving, dolphin encounters, spearfishing and kiteboarding charters throughout the hundreds of islands that are the beautiful Bahamas.

Our trip was amazing!
Our chef, Valentina, cooked amazing meals and kept us well fed! She made an amazing Key Lime Pie too!
Our Captain, Elton, I cannot thank enough for making this trip our best trip ever! He is very knowledgeable and carried us to very beautiful and scenic spots. He even set us up on beaches that we could have all to ourselves. Elton always made sure that we covered all the things we wanted to do and see.
He and Valentina made sure we had drinks and snacks for our beach excursions. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and considerate captain, I highly recommend Elton. His knowledge, charm, and charismatic personality guarantee you a fun and exciting sailing experience!
I can't wait to do it again!!!
We really enjoyed our experience and time aboard Vive L'Amour this past week! Thank you for creating a positive atmosphere and experience. The meals we had onboard were excellent. Very nice to experience life aboard a catamaran.
It was wonderful to "Not be in charge" thank you for making our first experience on a cat so great! I can't wait to do it again.
