Your chef: Eva
Hi, I'm Eva, your dedicated yacht chef, passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for my guests out at sea.
Four years ago I had my first experience with yachting in Croatia as a guest myself. I immediately fell in love with the
lifestyle and all the beautiful experiences that come with living out on the water.
Back in the Netherlands where I was working as an online editor for the biggest culinary magazine in the Netherlands, I decided that I wanted to pursue a more adventurous life. I took my love for cooking and creative experience as a culinary editor back to Croatia where I took my
first steps into becoming a yacht chef.
The following years were filled with adventures in Greece, Croatia, Italy, and French Polynesia. I love learning about new
cultures, especially their food traditions, so I can take this inspiration back to the galley for my cooking. I love
healthy nutritious food with fresh local ingredients. But my love for the Mediterranean will always shine through. I try to
keep my menu well-balanced with delicious indulgents as well. It’s your holiday after all!
For me, the most important thing on board is giving you the most memorable experiences as a guest. Whether this is a
breakfast overlooking the morning sun shining on the ocean surface, a dinner under the stars, or ensuring a special
day is celebrated well. My goal is to give my guests the most special time just like I had four years ago which made me fall
in love with life out on the water.
I hope to welcome you on board soon!

I immediately fell in love with the<br /> lifestyle and all the beautiful experiences that come with living out on the water. <br /> <br /> Back in the Netherlands where I was working as an online editor for the biggest culinary magazine in the Netherlands, I decided that I wanted to pursue a more adventurous life. I took my love for cooking and creative experience as a culinary editor back to Croatia where I took my<br /> first steps into becoming a yacht chef.<br /> <br /> The following years were filled with adventures in Greece, Croatia, Italy, and French Polynesia. I love learning about new<br /> cultures, especially their food traditions, so I can take this inspiration back to the galley for my cooking. I love<br /> healthy nutritious food with fresh local ingredients. But my love for the Mediterranean will always shine through. I try to<br /> keep my menu well-balanced with delicious indulgents as well. It’s your holiday after all!<br /> <br /> For me, the most important thing on board is giving you the most memorable experiences as a guest. Whether this is a<br /> breakfast overlooking the morning sun shining on the ocean surface, a dinner under the stars, or ensuring a special<br /> day is celebrated well. My goal is to give my guests the most special time just like I had four years ago which made me fall<br /> in love with life out on the water.<br /> <br /> I hope to welcome you on board soon!";s:14:"yachtCrewPhoto";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew1Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953crew1.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew2Pic";s:76:"https://www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953crew2.jpg";s:13:"yachtCrew3Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew4Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew5Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew6Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew7Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew8Pic";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtCrew9Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew10Pic";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew1Name";s:6:"Helene";s:14:"yachtCrew2Name";s:3:"Eva";s:14:"yachtCrew3Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew4Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew5Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew6Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew7Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew8Name";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtCrew9Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew10Name";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew1Title";s:7:"Skipper";s:15:"yachtCrew2Title";s:4:"Chef";s:15:"yachtCrew3Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew4Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew5Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew6Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew7Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew8Title";s:0:"";s:15:"yachtCrew9Title";s:0:"";s:16:"yachtCrew10Title";s:0:"";s:9:"yachtFlag";s:7:"Jamaica";s:13:"yachtHomePort";s:23:"USVI / BVI / Grenadines";s:14:"yachtWBasePort";s:16:"USVI / BVI / SXM";s:8:"yachtRig";s:0:"";s:14:"yachtGrossTons";s:0:"";s:12:"yachtAcNight";s:3:"Yes";s:16:"yachtAcSurCharge";s:2:"No";s:9:"yachtTubs";s:1:"0";s:20:"yachtLocationDetails";s:313:"Escapade is BVI certified.

We had 4 couples plus the crew onboard and you always felt like you had a place to socialize with all 12 people or find your alone time. The captain and chef on Escapade were fabulous. They made you feel like family and took super great care of us. The food was tremendous. The sailing was incredible (very awesome having a captain that actually wants you to be involved if you want). The itinerary was great, captain gave recommendations based on the weather but left it up to us. Captain steered us to super fun little hang outs that I didn't know about in the USVI or BVI even though I thought I knew the area well. The Bali 5.4 makes the trip, it is an incredible boat. What made Escapade so special was how well the boat is kept, and the crew. The captain would routinely ask/suggest that if we wanted a happy hour swim platform he would lower the hydraulic dinghy platform and move the dinghy to the side giving a perfect play area (actually at any time of the day, but at happy hour having it just above the water line helped keep the drinks above the water line :-)). I can't say enough good things about the chef. The main reason to crew a boat is to take away all the hard jobs, and she made putting out fabulous meals and snacks look easy (and we all know it is not). She also handled our group of extremely varied dietary requirements very well. It was a trip of a lifetime and I would do it again in a heartbeat.";s:10:"yachtGC7P1";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC7P2";s:0:"";s:10:"yachtGC7P3";s:0:"";s:13:"yachtGC8Title";s:28:"Our dream escape on ESCAPADE";s:8:"yachtGC8";s:1595:"We have enjoyed various trips to the islands, but this trip was like none other!

The Escapade handled the waters so smoothly and I felt great the entire week. Our captain shared some great spots around the BVI's. We snorkeled each day or explored around some of the islands. This boat has a remote control platform off the stern that we would use to get in and out of the water after snorkeling or paddle boarding, so convenient!

- reviews: <h2 id='reviews'>Reviews</h2> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Crew Review</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Helen and Eva made our charter experience absolutely unforgettable! Helen is a fantastic skipper - we always felt safe and confident with her at the helm. She expertly built out our schedules, accommodating all our requests for different activities, and was proactive in keeping us on track. Eva, as our host and chef, was simply phenomenal. Her culinary skills blew us away with every meal, and her attention to detail was impeccable. From preparing late-night snacks to ensuring we minimized our environmental impact, Eva consistently went above and beyond. Together, they form a dream team that perfectly balanced professionalism with a warm, welcoming presence.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Crew Review</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>We couldn't have asked for a better crew than Helen and Eva! Helen's expertise as a skipper was evident in her efficient handling of the boat and her ability to craft the perfect itinerary for our group. She was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel secure throughout the trip. Eva's role as our host was nothing short of spectacular. Her cooking was out of this world, and she had an uncanny ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized them. Both Helen and Eva were incredibly perceptive, quickly tuning into our group's vibe and preferences. They complemented each other perfectly, creating an atmosphere that was both luxurious and comfortable.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Sailing the ESCAPADE</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>Four couples decided to explore the British Virgin Islands for a quick getaway before the holidays. We choose a 55 foot luxury catamaran called the ESCAPADE and it did not disappoint! This “cat” was comfortably appointed with 4 private cabins, full shower and bathroom and A/C when needed. There were many lounge opportunities on the bow, stern and upper decks. Captain Gavin and chief Marie took great care of us. The food was amazing, every meal was different. We did some off shore exploring, snorkeling, and learned a lot about the BVI. IF you’re looking for a new adventure, try a fun, casual barefoot sail on the Escapade.</div><div class='clr'></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7953]' title='' href='https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953guests24356-1.jpg?658383936' class="review_img" data-lightbox="review_image"><span></span><img src='' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 1' class="lazyload img-responsive" data-src="https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953guests24356-1.jpg?658383936"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7953]' title='' href='https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953guests24356-2.jpg?658383936' class="review_img" data-lightbox="review_image"><span></span><img src='' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 2' class="lazyload img-responsive" data-src="https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953guests24356-2.jpg?658383936"></a></div></div><div class='ebrimg cya-width-33 cya-width-block'><div class='ebrimg2 dc_decor_img' style='display:inline-block;max-width:98%;'><a rel='prettyPhoto[7953]' title='' href='https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953guests24356-3.jpg?658383936' class="review_img" data-lightbox="review_image"><span></span><img src='' style='border:0px;' alt='Photo 3' class="lazyload img-responsive" data-src="https://i1.wp.com/www.centralyachtagent.com/yachtadmin/yachtlg/yacht7953/7953guests24356-3.jpg?658383936"></a></div></div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> The crew were great!</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>The crew were great!

Eden is a fantastic chef and all of the meals she prepared were absolutely delicious. JP was a terrific captain/host and very attentive to ensure our entire group was having a great time. In addition to being a very capable captain, he took our kids tubing, was always available to take us to shore at a moment’s notice, and mixed up some amazing cocktails! We lived like royalty for the week and can’t wait to do it again!</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Fabulous trip on ESCAPADE</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>My husband and I recently returned from an amazing trip to the BVI on ESCAPADE. We have chartered several catamarans in the past and this one is by far the nicest. This catamaran is brand new, absolutely beautiful, and extremely spacious. We spent nine days on this boat with 8 other people and we never once felt cramped. There are many areas to hangout together or escape for alone time. It is equipped with 4 paddle boards, an electronic swim platform and everything needed for the perfect Caribbean vacation. Also, the dinghy is large and has a fast engine which allows you to motor around with comfort and ease. The captain and chef were wonderful. Very accommodating and anxious to please. Every meal was gourmet and the chef made every attempt to wine and dine us. The captain enjoyed taking us to wonderful snorkeling spots, shuttling us to and from beaches, and assisting us whenever needed. I highly recommend ESCAPADE and we very much look forward to traveling on ESCAPADE again in the near future.</div><div class='clr'></div> </div> <div class='bs-example'> <div class="yacht_rev"> Charter on S/V Escapade</div><div class='clr'></div><div style='text-align:left;'>If you have not sailed on a Bali 5.4, you should, and I would absolutely choose S/V Escapade again. We have chartered numerous cats and own a Lagoon. Bali has really done something special with the way they have opened the boat up with the 5.4. We had 4 couples plus the crew onboard and you always felt like you had a place to socialize with all 12 people or find your alone time. The captain and chef on Escapade were fabulous. They made you feel like family and took super great care of us. The food was tremendous. The sailing was incredible (very awesome having a captain that actually wants you to be involved if you want). The itinerary was great, captain gave recommendations based on the weather but left it up to us. Captain steered us to super fun little hang outs that I didn't know about in the USVI or BVI even though I thought I knew the area well. The Bali 5.4 makes the trip, it is an incredible boat. What made Escapade so special was how well the boat is kept, and the crew.
