The person behind Sur la mer

Ben, captain and founder of Sur la mer

I founded Sur la mer in Alicante with a simple idea: before talking about boats, understand the people coming on board. Whether you know the sea well or this is your first trip, I want our conversations to be clear and for you to know what to expect.

What matters to me on board

A comfortable welcome

People enjoy their time together more when they feel at ease. There is room for questions before departure and during the trip.

A trip that fits

The time booked, the boat and the day's conditions shape the route. We take your group's wishes into account within those limits.

Clear conversations

I speak French, English and Spanish. Plain explanations help everyone find their bearings at sea.

Experience behind the welcome

I am a motor yacht captain and an RYA instructor. Both roles have taught me to observe, explain without jargon and adapt the way I navigate for people who are new to boating. At Sur la mer, that attention guides how we prepare private trips in Alicante. Depending on the boat and date, a professional skipper will be on board with you.
