Matias Boveda
I’m originally from Argentina, where I learned to sail in rough waters in Mar del Plata, alongside my father from whom I learned not only sailing, but fixing almost everything and most importantly, I learned the love for the sea. My career has taken me from Argentina and Brazil to Barcelona and throughout the Caribbean, including four years working as a sailmaker with Quantum Sails. I’m an experienced sailor and waterman, with extensive experience aboard sailing, racing, and motor yachts, as well as numerous deliveries across the Atlantic and Caribbean. I love kitesurfing, foiling, diving, and fishing, and I love sharing what I know with guests. I was also in the gastronomic industry for some time. I had my own restaurant in Argentina, which makes me quite an expert on understanding food presentation, timing and hospitality in every sense. From 2021 to 2026, I have been Captain of Ascension, chartering throughout The Bahamas, Belize, Mexico, The Grenadines, and the Leeward and Windward Islands. This chartering also allowed the owners of the boat to get to know and enjoy different places in the Caribbean. With Maia we make the best team, we are truly partners in life, in sea life and of course, in charters, where we combine our hospitality and skills every day.
