Welcome to KORU

KORU, a Catana catamaran, defines a new standard of performance and refined space. Its design prioritizes fluidity between environments: a flybridge for dawn, a forward lounge for midday, and an outdoor saloon for dusk. The foredeck offers an expansive platform for contemplation or engagement under open skies. Subtlety continues below deck. Three queen staterooms, each with walk-around beds and private dry heads with full showers, provide complete autonomy. The integrated swim platform offers direct access to the water. A powerful square-topped mainsail, self-tacking jib, and Code 0 sail combine for decisive handling, making KORU a vessel engineered for both quiet repose and dynamic movement across the water.

Captain Ben:

I grew up in Canada surrounded by nature and spent my summers exploring its beautiful lakes, where my love for boating and adventure began. I’ve always enjoyed being on the water, whether it’s cruising, wakeboarding, tubing, or just soaking up the sun. I’m passionate about creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere onboard, making sure everyone feels included and has a great time. When I’m not sailing, I love sharing stories, good music, and a few laughs with guests. My goal is to make every trip memorable, with a perfect balance of adventure, connection, and laid-back enjoyment.

Chef/Mate

Born in South Africa and raised in a Thai household, Chef Chanel grew up surrounded by two vibrant cultures that shaped both her palate and her passion for hospitality. Splitting her childhood between South Africa and Thailand, she developed a love for travel and a deep appreciation for the way food connects people across cultures.

Her journey into the culinary world began at home, helping her mother prepare traditional Thai dishes for guests at a guesthouse during school holidays. What started as simple curiosity soon became a lifelong passion. After completing her culinary training in Cape Town, Chanel combined her love for flavor and hospitality into a career that allows her to create memorable dining experiences at sea. Her journey has now led her to S/V Koru, where she continues to celebrate her heritage and travels through every dish she creates.
