See what life aboard is like

A role worth leaving home for

A shared home, a curious crew.

We are the Bocas, a family of five who spend part of our lives exploring by boat. Our three kids are naturally curious, and we love learning through nature, science, good food, and everyday discoveries.

This is a home before it is a boat. We would enjoy sharing it with people who bring their own interests and a thoughtful way of pitching in.

The experience

An Eastern Caribbean chapter.

Change your role in life for a while: follow the trade winds, make a home between islands, and see ordinary days from a different horizon.

What would you bring aboard?

Something real to share.
