Ocean Adventures Led by Passionate Sea People

Thibault has called Mexico home since 2016. After seven years scaling tech ventures in Mexico City, he turned his energy toward what always mattered most: adventure, human connection and the power of the sea. He is building Eagle Ray one trusted relationship at a time, bringing together sea people who share the same warmth, curiosity and instinct for life at sea.

"I'm a PADI scuba instructor. I've lived in more than seven countries and explored 58, mostly by water: the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, the Atlantic. Before diving became my work, I studied hotel and resort management at ESADE and worked in five-star hospitality at Ritz-Carlton and Mandarin Oriental.

Thibault and I met in Chile when we were five. Most people call me the Pirate. On board, I lead the dives and the snorkeling, and I'm usually the one suggesting which cove to anchor in and which story goes with dinner."

"I've spent 15 years on sailboats around the world: the Bahamas, Polynesia, Brittany, the Caribbean and the Sea of Cortez. I've skippered boats from a Lagoon 41 to a Lagoon 62, and I'm a certified marine engineer, so I know the boat from the helm to the engine room.

On board, I teach sailing, kiting and freediving, and take you paddleboarding and snorkeling. Years of all of it in Baja have taught me to read the sea and the people on it, and to adjust the day as it goes. If it's your first time at sea, you're in the right place."

Benji spent eight years running industrial and energy operations before trading project sites for the helm. The civil engineer never disappeared: he reads weather routing like a systems map and notices what the boat needs before it asks. While everyone watches the horizon, Benji has already cleared the way for the next adventure.

"I'm Sergio, but you can call me Canei. You might know me from Survivor México, which I won in 2025. A few years earlier, I decided to take care of myself: training, eating well, learning how my body works. Today that's what I teach, as a personal trainer in Cancún and to the more than 100 people I've coached.

I've led groups of 8 to 19 through Iceland, the Acatenango and Fuego volcanoes in Guatemala, Hawaii's Big Island, the Dolomites and the Camino de Santiago. On board, we start the day moving on deck. Before you go in the water, I teach you to breathe, and each day you hold your breath a little longer."

"I'm a PADI scuba instructor, a freediver and a kitesurf instructor, with more than 1,500 dives from the Red Sea to the Caribbean. Today I live in Baja California Sur, between the wind of La Ventana and the Sea of Cortez.

On day one I watch before anyone speaks: who brings their own gear, who shows up early, who talks for the group. By the first briefing, I know where each person is starting from. My job is to put you in the right place at the right moment, so the rays come to us."

"I grew up by the beach in Brazil. After 16 years in large corporations and teaching English, I made the sea my work. Today I'm a PADI dive instructor and a licensed expedition guide in Mexico. I've lived in Baja California Sur for six years, one of them in La Paz."

Antoine has spent 15+ years cooking aboard boats and superyachts, including as a private chef for senior executives. He knows exacting standards, tiny galleys and saltwater appetites. His magic is restaurant technique made for the sea: precise without stiffness, generous without spectacle and served when the whole crew is ready to remember it.

Ana built her own pastry business from scratch, so she knows magic rarely arrives by accident. It lives in timing, texture and the extra detail nobody thought to request. On board, she cooks the same way: attentive, inventive and quietly generous, turning a simple breakfast into a ritual and dessert into the story told back on shore.

"I became a scuba instructor at 21, and a cave, cenote and shark dive guide in Cozumel before 23. I've taught diving in the Maldives, Indonesia and Guatemala, but the waters I know best are the Sea of Cortez.

I start every trip with questions: what's your name, where are you from, have you been in these waters before, what do you definitely want to experience? Then I plan around the answers. It's hard to stay tense when you're telling your own story."

"I've sailed over 30,000 nautical miles, including a round-the-world journey between 2016 and 2026: across the Pacific, the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic, and from Alaska to Japan through the Aleutians and Kamchatka. Before that, I was a maritime lawyer: I worked at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea and took part in international climate negotiations.

On board, I'll hand you the helm if you want to learn, and take care of everything if you don't. My students say I stay calm when others don't, and that my stories make even cleaning the bilge enjoyable. They also say I make storms feel like part of the plan. I hope we won't need to test that one."

"I'm Andrea, a sailor and an adventurer. I crossed the Atlantic by rowing boat with Oceanida, and it taught me that you don't always need to feel ready to face the unknown: you trust, you adapt and you keep going, one stroke at a time.

I've spent five years on boats, charters and tours in Mexico, with small and medium groups of every age and level: welcoming guests, coordinating activities, keeping them safe and adapting the day to the group. On board, I guide kayaking, snorkeling and hikes ashore."
