RUBY ONE Yacht Description
-
Inflatable Floating Island & Floating Pool:
Unique floating toys perfect for family fun and lounging in the water together. -
2 Hobie Mirage Eclipse Stand Up Paddle/Pedal Boards:
Catamarans rarely feature pedal boards—ideal for exploring islands and active water play. -
Full Air Conditioning Throughout:
Keeps guests cool and comfortable for luxury relaxation even in tropical climates.
RUBY ONE is basically a floating beach club with a chef, not a sailboat with snacks. Start with the fun: a floating pool, inflatable island hangout with built‑in bar and cooler, towable tubes and toys, adult and kids’ water skis, plus Hobie Mirage pedal/sup boards off the stern. If your idea of “activity” is choosing between the sunpads, the flybridge lounge, or the forward cockpit, that’s also fully supported.
Built in 2020, this 58ft Leopard cat is modern, wide, and stable, set up for six guests in three queen ensuite cabins with upgraded mattress pads and full‑boat air conditioning. The layout is all about usable space: extra‑large main saloon, private forward cockpit, big flybridge lounge, and a practical swim platform that makes getting in and out of the water toys painless instead of slapstick.
Onboard life is quietly over‑engineered for comfort: Wi‑Fi, media server, TVs in all cabins and saloon, satellite/streaming, watermaker, generator, and proper shade and BBQ for long, lazy lunches. Light fishing gear and rendezvous diving keep the ocean‑addicted happy; the movie server and sun loungers handle everyone else.
The real force multiplier is the two‑person crew: an experienced charter captain with a deep dive background and a trained yacht chef whose sample menu reads like someone refused to choose between steakhouse, bistro, and beach bar. Translation: you spend your week rotating between water, food, and sleep, with very little wasted time on anything else.
Accommodation
Ruby One features three queen-berth guest suites for discerning guests, and a bespoke extra-large main deck saloon. All guest cabin queen beds feature 3 inch foam mattress pads. The saloon is fronted by a private forward lounging cockpit.There's also a large flybridge lounging and helm area above.
Dining is either in the saloon, or al fresco on the aft deck. Air-conditioned throughout.

Reviews
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 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

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!!
We felt pampered and taken care of the whole time. Both Julie and Ken were wonderful in their roles and we had an amazing time.
