Using a small knife, scrape the seeds out of the vanilla bean. In a small saucepan, combine vanilla bean, seeds, sugar, grated citrus zests, and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently until sugar has dissolved and liquid is syrupy, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Combine the berries in a serving bowl. Strain the still warm syrup over the berries and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
