More About Ricardo

In the 1990s, Ricardo’s journey into the yachting world began when he worked as a dive instructor for a Mexican millionaire. This experience sparked his passion for mega yachts and set him on a path toward becoming a yacht broker. Over the years, Ricardo has logged countless miles exploring some of the world’s most breathtaking oceanic destinations, including French Polynesia, Fiji, Micronesia, Guam, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Great Barrier Reef, North Sulawesi, and Raja Ampat in Indonesia. His extensive travels have given him a deep appreciation for the global yachting lifestyle and a unique perspective on the diverse needs of yacht owners and enthusiasts worldwide.
