Captain: Hasan Atik

CAPTAIN | Hasan Atik
I was born in Mugla, Koycegiz in 1986. I have always been passionate about the water and participated heavily in water sports during high school. My professional career started when I was 18, working as a seaman on charter yachts and ships. I then graduated to first-mate on larger motor yachts and worked on a variety of builds, including Canados, Sunseeker and Azimut. At the age of 30, I graduated to Captain and have been Captaining Gulets for the last 8 years. I have extensive cruising experience in Turkey and throughout the Mediterranean and I look forward to welcoming you onboard DOUBLE EAGLE and showing you our magnificent cruising area.

CHEF|Akın Ünal
I was born in 1994 in Tekirdag, Turkey. I graduated from Tekirdag Anatolian Vocational School of Tourism in the Department of Culinary Arts. I have been working professionally as a chef since 2009. In addition to working in international 5-star hotels and chain restaurants, I also continue my profession as a culinary instructor. In 2012, I won bronze at an international gastronomy festival, and in 2023 I received the honours award at the TYBA Boat Show. Since 2020, I have been working as a yacht chef. Cooking on the sea not only nourishes my soul but also turns the dishes I create into works of art inspired by the sea. For me, cooking is far beyond ordinary, it's an art. When I'm not cooking, I work as a yoga and breath instructor, which is my second profession. My hobbies include traveling, canoeing, and listening to music.

I was born on 1998 in the Dalaman district of Mugla. I graduated from Adile İhsan Mermeci Vocational High School in the Cooking Department. My mother is a chef and I have always been passionate about food. I worked in kitchens within hotels for many years and followed the completion of my military service as a Sailor on Turkish War Ships, I was inspired to start my career on charter yachts – first as a chef. I have always been in touch with the sea and some of my favourite hobbies are fishing and diving. Whilst chefing, my maritime and technical knowledge improved and I’m now proud to be part of the deck crew on DOUBLE EAGLE. I’ve been onboard for 2 years and look forward to sharing the Mediterranean with our guests. I am proficient in water sports and sailing and look forward to getting our guests out on the water.
