Meet Chef Eva. A couple years ago Eva went on a sailing holiday in Croatia. Immediately she fell in love with the lifestyle and all the beautiful experiences that come with living out on the water. Back in the Netherlands where she was working as a online editor for the biggest culinary magazine in the Netherlands she decided that she wanted to pursue a life closer to nature. She took her love for cooking and creative experience as a culinary editor back to Croatia where she started her new career at sea.

The following years were filled with culinary adventures working in Greece, Croatia, Italy, and French Polynesia. She loves learning about new cultures and especially their food traditions so she can take this inspiration back to the galley. She loves healthy nutritious food with fresh local ingredients. But her love for the Mediterranean and European roots will always shine through. She tries to keep her menu’s well balanced with delicious indulgement as well. It’s your holiday afterall!

The most important thing for her on board is to give you as a guest the most memorable experiences. Whether this is a breakfast overlooking the morning sun shining on the ocean surface, a dinner under the stars or making sure a special day is celebrated well. Her goal is to give her guests the most special time to remember and cherish and she can’t wait to welcome you onboard.


Meet Stew Mel. Mel’s love for the ocean started when she moved to the gulf coast of Florida at the age of 18 and discovered the yachting industry. That passion peaked after relocating to the Caribbean in 2020 and seeing all the beauty and adventure the islands have to offer. She’s worked on a variety of boats from day charters to superyachts. Having 15 years of hospitality experience, she thrives in being friendly, enthusiastic, and personable. She enjoys reading, yoga, and most of all, traveling to new places and interacting with people from all over the globe. Mel looks forward to cultivating unique and memorable experiences to everyone on board!
