Aloha from the Vida Mia!

Vida Mia is in the final stretch of her restoration and we are working hard to bring this 97 year old historic wooden yacht home to the crystal blue waters of Waikiki.

Every donation, share and word of encouragement helps carry Vida Mia one step closer to her 100th Birthday 🥳

Happy Aloha Friday from the Vida Mia!

Because of your support, we have already raised nearly $13,000 toward our launch. Every donation, share and word of encouragement is humbling, meaningful, and helps bring us one step closer to getting her back out on the water.

One of the things I love most about Vida Mia is discovering pieces of her story along the way. We recently came across this photograph in the archives and had it digitally restored.

Seeing Vida Mia alongside the great ocean liners and that once visited Honolulu Harbor is a reminder of Hawaii’s rich maritime heritage - an era when the harbor served as a gateway connecting the islands to the world.

I find these restored photographs create a feeling that goes beyond the original black-and-white images. They make it a little easier to imagine the people, places, and moments that shaped the stories we carry forward today.

In just three years, Vida Mia will celebrate her 100th birthday.

If you’d like to help bring Vida Mia home and carry her into her second century, you can support our campaign here:

Every donation, share, comment, and word of encouragement helps move this project forward.

We are incredibly grateful for the community that continues to rally around Vida Mia and her future. Every historic vessel that reaches a second century does so because people choose to preserve it.

Mahalo for helping carry Vida Mia toward her centennial.

A special to Carl Geringer for bringing these archival images back to life.

Aloha Friends and Family of Vida Mia,

We are humbled by the outpouring of support that has come in over the weekend. Your kinds words and donations have been very encouraging.

As many of you know, we’ve been working hard for the past 11 months restoring our beloved Vida Mia. Thanks to the incredible support from our community, we’ve made great progress - but we still need help to reach the finish line in the next 2 weeks.

If we don’t make it, we risk losing her and having to close our business this summer.

If you’ve ever joined us for a coffee cruise, sunset sail, or followed along with our restoration work, you know how special she is. She’s one of the few remaining 1929 wooden vessels of her kind in the world, with rich maritime history - including service and of course starring in opening scene of The White Lotus, which was filmed here in

She has created beautiful memories for countless families and guests over the years. If you live here in Hawaii, there is very little chance you don’t have a friend or family member with fond memories her.

This is our first fundraiser, and we have to admit it’s a bit uncomfortable, but after so many encouraging conversations with our guests and supporters, we decided to go for it.

Would you be able to help us cross this final stretch?

Even a small donation or simply sharing this post with your network would mean the world to us right now.

Thank you for being part of our story and for all the love you’ve shown the Vida Mia over the years. We couldn’t do this without our amazing guests and supporters.

We’ve seen wonderful traction on our campaign this week. Thank you to everyone in our community who took the time to share, donate, and spread the word. It means the world.
