Name: Fabrizio Bartoli
Nationality: Italian
Position: Captain
Position details: Captain
Languages: Not specified
Description: Fabrizio is a sailor in the truest sense of the word. Born and shaped by a life at sea, he brings decades of hands-on experience to every passage — an Italian mariner whose love for the ocean is as evident in the way he reads the wind as it is in the warmth with which he welcomes guests on board.
His relationship with W is something beyond professional. He speaks of her with genuine admiration — her rare combination of exceptional comfort and impressive speed, her responsiveness under sail, her character. It is the enthusiasm of someone who has found, in a particular yacht, a perfect match for his own sailing philosophy.
On deck, Fabrizio leads with quiet authority. His technical knowledge is deep, his regatta experience sharp, and his seamanship instinctive. Guests sense this immediately — not through formality, but through the easy confidence of a captain who knows exactly what he is doing and has nothing to prove. The atmosphere on board remains relaxed and personal, never rigid, yet always in the most capable of hands.
Discreet, attentive and genuinely passionate, Fabrizio defines what a high-end charter experience should feel like: the freedom to enjoy every moment at sea, knowing that everything — from the set of the sails to the safety of the passage — is being managed with complete mastery.
Name: Luis Vasquez Pitarch
Nationality: Spanish
Position: Deckhand
Position details: Deckhand
Languages: Not specified
Description: Luis is the kind of crew member whose presence is felt from the moment guests step on board. Energetic, warm and instinctively guest-focused, he brings a natural ease to deck life that makes everything feel effortless — even when it isn't.
His background spans yachting, watersports and kitesurfing, giving him both the practical skills and the active spirit that complement a charter experience on W perfectly. Whether handling lines with precision, rigging equipment for a day on the water or getting guests set up for a kitesurfing session, Luis approaches every task with the same enthusiasm and can-do attitude.
What truly sets him apart is his disposition. For Luis, finding a solution is simply the only option — he stays positive, adapts quickly and makes things happen with a smile. Guests respond to this immediately, and it is no surprise that he tends to be universally loved on board.
Reliable, flexible and genuinely dedicated, Luis adds both real capability and real warmth to the team — the kind of deckhand who quietly elevates the whole charter experience.
Name: George Heindl
Nationality: German
Position: Chef
Position details: Chef
Languages: Not specified
Description: Chef George brings over two decades of international culinary experience to the table, with a career shaped by more than ten years in Michelin-starred kitchens and award-winning luxury hotels before he made the move to private superyacht service. Recognised early on as Apprentice Chef of the Year during his training, he has spent his career honing a style defined by creativity, precision, and a genuine passion for sourcing the very best fresh ingredients available, always favouring from-scratch cooking over shortcuts.
George's cuisine sits firmly in the realm of refined fine dining, but what really sets him apart is how personal he makes the experience. He doesn't work from a fixed menu; instead, he builds each meal around the guests in front of him, taking into account individual tastes, dietary needs, and the natural rhythm of life on board, whether that means an elaborate sunset dinner after a day of diving or something lighter and quicker between excursions.
On board, George brings a calm, discreet presence that charter guests and crew alike appreciate. He's exceptionally organised in the galley, which shows in both the consistency of his service and the polish of his plating. Guests routinely come away from their time with George remembering not just the food, but the whole dining experience he created around it.
