New for 2027

first-timers and 2027 rumors, get in before your friends do

Since 2014

strangers to family, 500+ times

Born in NYC in 2014 with one Costa Rica trip and a hunch: strangers make the best travel crew. Five continents and a 4.9 rating later, the hunch checks out.

Surf

Adventure, risk, adrenaline. The thing that scares you a little and thrills you a lot.

Yoga

A deeper perspective on the short time we have. No woo-woo required.

Beer

Our chance to enjoy it all and not take anything too seriously.

"This feels like a secret people desperately need to know about."

The SYB Way

no white labels, we build it all

Most travel companies rent everything: the same local guides, the same itineraries, a logo slapped on top. We own every vertical, like Tesla builds its own batteries, motors, and software. We scout the destination, design the itinerary, train the leaders, and host the week ourselves. The SYB Academy is our Gigafactory.

We scout every trip ourselves

Before a trip hits the calendar, we fly out and test the villas, the waves, the drivers, and the dinner spots. If we would not send our own family, it does not run.

Real local relationships

We work directly with the villas, boats, and communities we have known for years. No middlemen, no markups on someone else's itinerary.

Leaders trained in our Academy

Every SYB leader graduates our 200-hour Academy and leadership immersion, then we fly them in to host you. They are our biggest difference maker.

Hosted, not toured

An SYB trip is hosted end to end like a retreat with your future best friends, not a white-labeled tour you could book from ten other companies.
