3 Weeks to Help Save Vida Mia!

If you recognize this elegant wooden yacht from the opening scene of HBO’s The White Lotus Season 1 — yes, that’s our Vida Mia.

Thanks to the incredible support of our community, we’ve already made significant progress on her restoration. But we still need critical final funding in the next 3 weeks to install the new generator and repair roof damage from the heavy rains this year.

If we don’t succeed in this final push, we risk losing this historic boat forever and having to close our business this summer.

Vida Mia is a rare 97-year-old Stephens Bros. classic wooden yacht with rich maritime history, including WWII service. She has been a beloved Waikiki icon for generations — hosting countless families, celebrations, and unforgettable sunset cruises.

Our small owner-operated team has poured everything into bringing her back to life. Now we’re so close, but we need your help to cross the finish line.

Your donation will go directly toward:

* New generator installation

* Roof repairs from storm damage

* Yard fees

* Getting our crew back on the water

There is already a long waitlist of guests eager to sail with us again. With your support, we can get Vida Mia back where she belongs — creating beautiful memories on coffee cruises, sunset dinners, and private charters in Waikiki.

This isn’t just a boat. She’s a piece of Hawaii’s living history.

White Lotus fans, past guests, Hawaii locals, and lovers of classic wooden boats — this is your chance to help save her.

Thank you for believing in Vida Mia. Every donation brings us closer to launch day.
