Captain Stella -
Stella is British and Spanish but was born and raised in The Netherlands. Growing up learning to sail on Lasers as a child, everything about the ocean always excited her. From lifeguarding, swim coaching, surfing, sailing, scuba diving, underwater videography and photography, her life and passions have always circulated around the sea.
During her time at university in England, she spent her long summers working on sailing yachts. After having various roles in the yachting industry, she obtained her Yachtmaster Offshore Sail 200T license in Gibraltar and has worked on charters in Croatia, Greece, South of France, Amalfi coast and Balearic Islands before moving to the BVI. She is also a RYA certified sailing instructor and loves to show newcomers the ropes!
Chef Iona -
Iona was born and raised in England, also spending many summers in Lake Como which sparked her passion and love for cooking. lona has been trained at both the Ashburton and Orchards cookery school in the U.K. and has worked over several summers as a private chef in the Algarve Portugal where she made top quality meals in the comfort of the client villas.
During the winter seasons lona worked in the French Alps running and catering chalets to a very high standard. With both of these experiences, lona is able to present and deliver a vast variety of cuisines. lona has a Mediterranean cooking flare and loves working with both land and sea elements.
Iona started her first yacht season in Mallorca where she met Stella. They worked together on a 55ft catamaran sailing around the Balearics.
