Iate privado SABAI

Richard grew up on the south Devon coast with the sea running through his veins. His father was a commercial fisherman and diver, and weekends were spent sailing dinghies and helping out on the water — that early passion never left him.

After a few years managing top ski resorts in the French Alps, such as Meribel and Tignes, a change in the winds led him back to the sea and into superyachting, where he's been hooked ever since. He spent four incredible years commanding the 73-meter Lunasea, taking her on a full global circumnavigation through the Mediterranean, Pacific, Indonesia, Tahiti, and Fiji. With more than a decade of experience across some of the world's finest yachts, it's those kinds of adventures, sharing them with others, and the stories that come with them, that he loves most about this lifestyle.

When Richard's not on deck, you'll find him diving or sailing. He and his wife Kaylie own a traditional sailing yacht and are planning — one day — to sail her around the world, starting with the Canaries and working their way through the Caribbean and into the Pacific. He's genuinely passionate about exploring the ocean and sharing those adventures with the guests aboard Sabai.
