About RUBY ONE

Best for: dive-led friend groups, with adventurous couples a close second.

Ruby One is a 2020 Leopard catamaran sailing the British Virgin Islands with a crew whose combined background in scuba instruction, sailing, and professional cookery is the standout aboard. Captain Ken has been diving and chartering in the BVI for years, and his enthusiasm for marine life shapes every itinerary. Chef and First Mate Julie trained formally in culinary arts and brings genuine kitchen skill to a galley that feeds guests in the air-conditioned saloon, in the forward cockpit, or al fresco on the aft deck. Twenty reviews confirm this is a boat that delivers consistently.

Ruby One sleeps six across three queen-berth guest suites, each fitted with foam mattress toppers for comfort after full days on the water. The large flybridge gives a second social space above the main deck saloon. Toys lean toward water play: an e-foil, a two-person BOTE paddleboard, four Subnado underwater scooters, and an inflatable floating dock with bar and cooler for those long anchorage afternoons. Friends who want to dive, foil, and eat well in the BVI will find exactly that here.

E-foiling for Jax was a WIN! The bote hangout was one of our favorite ways to waste the day away. This was exactly the relaxing trip that we all needed and we couldn't have asked for better hosts! Julie-your cooking inspired me to be more creative and change things up! and your food was better than anywhere we are out - including the lobster! And all the thanks for pulling out the toys and floats all day and making all the islands - we enjoyed every minute! Also going to have to introduce the Captains beer shots to our friends back home. Thank you for a truly wonderful and relaxing week for the entire family!

Such an amazing week on Ruby One! The boat was extremely comfortable and the food was SO GOOD. Chef Julie is very talented and puts so much thought into every single meal. Captain Ken is a great captain and took us to great places and was wonderful at making sure we were always happy and the kids entertained. He also makes a delicious margarita and rum punch. We even got a private concert from him. Overall, a fantastic trip, the crew couldn't have been better for our family charter. Loved every minute!

Dear Capt. Ken and Julie,
Thank you both for a fabulous week touring the BVIs.
We were able to create many family memories over the past 7 days. Julie, your food was absolutely amazing and every meal was a surprise with 5 star quality. Captain Ken, everyone loved your cocktail skills and certainly taking us to all the beautiful locations to snorkel.
We loved Peter Island, dancing in Leverick Bay and getting to tour with Sweet Ice. We have so many memories for girls and their boyfriends for years to come. We appreciate your hospitality and loving personalities. Wishing you all the best for 2025 and hope to see you again soon.
Love,
The Sands family

We loved all the spots we stopped at! The BVI’s are beautiful!! Thank you Ken & Julie we had a great time island hopping. The food, water, music, hospitality was wonderful! Thanks so much! – Mike & Angi - Dallas, TX

We celebrated our 30th Anniversary and it was truly AMAZING! Honestly I was a little afraid of the whole boat thing and from the minute we stepped on Ken and Julie made everything wonderful! Our favorite times were sailing and swimming, just being with our best friends celebrating life ! The views are breathtaking! Ken playing guitar and singing ♥ Thank you for your kindness and for working so hard for all of us! The food was spectacular! It is a vacation we will never forget! The boat is beautiful and thanks again for everything. Hope to cruise with ya’ll again! – David & Joanne - Springdale, AR

Cruising from spot to spot was one of my favs, I enjoyed the sun, the clouds, the rain, the food, music and even the quiet. The hospitality was plentiful and genuine, Jules & Ken made sure of that. Captain got us everywhere we needed to go, Julie cooked her heart out and it was delicious. We were celebrating my 50th birthday and it was a trip of my lifetime. I love this boat. The water was perfect everyday. Thank you to Captain and Jules for the wonderful gift of boat life, Cheers Mate. – Shelley - Tulsa

A great week on Ruby One with Ken & Julie. Everything was perfect. Ken’s seamanship was outstanding, Julie’s skill at mating Ruby One were very impressive, but, Julie’s culinary skill were truly world class. The Fit, Finish & Layout of Ruby One is Superb. A Perfect Week!

We are so grateful to have been invited on this trip. Ken & Julie were a wonderful team who facilitated every adventure. Food was exceptional and their commitment to our overall enjoyment of the trip is to be commended. All in All, a fabulous, relaxing trip on a beautifully laid out boat and there are plenty of TOYS on the boat!.

There are a lot of beautiful boats in the BVI. There are a lot of great captains and chefs/first mates, but when you can match and combine the two, you have the perfect vacation & that is Ruby One! Our time on your beautiful yacht was amazing!
Ken's knowledge of the islands was superb! Great snorkeling spots and the best beaches! Julie, I don’t know how you do it - amazing food! - You are not an “iron chef," you are the titanium chef!
And
Where to start - Ken and Julie you two are truly the best! Our group laughed till we cried!! Ken knew the best spots and Julie was “Amazing”, food every meal to die for!! My absolute favourite trip ever! Family and friends and the perfect boat and crew!! “Loved” every minute of every day!!
And
We had beyond a fabulous time on Ruby One!! Captain Ken “The Champ” & Julie “Titanium Chef” were an amazing team. They were so accommodating and wanted to make our trip exactly everything we had dreamed it would be! They made it all look so east and they were so fun to hang out with too, Kens guitar playing, Julies amazing cooking, and the Beautiful Boat, it was Great!!

What a relaxing and enjoyable vacation! Ken and Julie made everything so easy, the food – breakfast, lunch and dinner were beautiful, delicious and nutritious. All of the moorings were picturesque and Ruby One was the perfect fit for 3 couples. Thank you both everything.

We all had such a great time on Ruby One our captain and chef were very knowledgeable about all the islands and what an amazing chef. They were both very professional and a pleasure to be around. I had to fly out for a couple of days and the Captain was a big help solving logistical problems. We would highly recommend this boat and crew! We will for sure do this again, thanks for the memories.

This trip was amazing! Everything was so well thought out by Ken & Julie! Two of us had Celiac gluten free allergy and Julie cooked gluten free for all of us - it was awesome! Everytime we went out to dinner ( even Saba) we all agreed Julie's dinners were better. Ken took us to all the beautiful & fun hot spots - we wouldn't have changed a thing. Looking forward to rebooking soon! What a memorable 50th birthday bash! Thanks Julie & Ken and thank you for making us feel like Queens = cleaning and organizing behind us everytime we left the boat!

Good to know

We want to make sure you are well prepared and informed for your trip. Here are a few things you might want to know before you set off.
An APA (Advanced Provisioning Allowance) is an amount paid to the yacht before your charter. It's a fund to cover expenses such as food & drink eaten on board, fuel and mooring fees. At the end of your charter, you’ll receive a detailed document showing how the APA was spent, and any remaining balance will be refunded to you. if in doubt about what is included, ask your HELM broker.
The Captain will let you know if you're about to overspend and discuss your next steps, which wil generally be a bank transfer to top up the funds.
We recommend (10-15% for the Med) (15-20% for the Caribbean/Bahamas) of your charter fee, which will be split evenly among the crew (it's a nice touch to bring a blank envelope or a thank you card in advance).
We'll share your Captain's details with you a few weeks before your charter. We can set up a group chat with your group and the captain to discuss plans before you go.
