Ric and Ale sailing in the BVI

Ricardo and Ale have spent years sailing side by side, sharing countless trips and adventures at sea. They pour that experience – and their genuine love of hosting guests – into creating private sailing vacations in dreamy, paradisiac locations, where everything feels bespoke, relaxed, and thoughtfully taken care of

When you hire A Friend With A Boat,
we will help you with all you need:
  • Choose the right boat
  • The timing depending on where you want to go
  • Customize all the details for the experience you want to have.
  • Design the trip as you prefer, you can eat on board and visit restaurants.
  • Arrange the activities for you, scuba diving, fishing, snorkeling, visit sacred beaches, or just drinks by sea
We don’t have a boat, we work with fleet operators to have access to thousands of boats in multiple locations.
