Crew Profiles

CAPTAIN
Rodrigo Pizzarro Marquez

Born and raised in a charming Uruguayan neighborhood, Rodrigo spent his early years barefoot, climbing trees, and playing in the streets with friends. But even then, it was clear where his true passion lay—anything with an engine or that could float. That passion led him to maritime studies at university, and as soon as he graduated, he stepped onto his first vessel, beginning a career that would take him around the globe—from the icy waters of Antarctica to the North Sea and the sun-drenched islands of the Aegean.

Rodrigo’s professional journey began over 17 years ago as a marine engineer. Starting from the ground up as a mechanic, he steadily rose through the ranks—third engineer, second engineer, and eventually achieving the highest certification as a Commercial Chief Engineer Unlimited. His career has given him both hands-on technical expertise and a deep understanding of vessel operations and crew management.

His experience spans a wide variety of vessels, including small boats, cargo ships, tugboats, research vessels, offshore vessels (such as guard, chase, and seismic ships), and hybrid diesel-electric dredgers. In 2016, Rodrigo transitioned into the superyacht industry, where he has spent nearly a decade refining his skills and adapting his vast experience to the high standards of luxury maritime service.

Rodrigo’s passion for the sea extends far beyond the engine room. With a deep love for sailing, he pursued his Yachtmaster Offshore certification and continues to build on that knowledge. Whether he’s skippering, kitesurfing, swimming, or simply watching dolphins play in the bow wave at sunset, his connection to the ocean is unwavering.

With a strong commitment to safety, professionalism, and guest experience, Rodrigo brings exceptional leadership, technical expertise, and heartfelt enthusiasm to every charter.

CHEF
Alys Servini

Having grown up with both Welsh and Italian heritage, chef Alys has always felt that cooking was a part of her—an inherited passion rooted in family and tradition. Surrounded by incredible food and sweet treats from an early age, she learned that the kitchen is the true heart of any home. Her first taste of hospitality came as a teenager working in her father's café, where she discovered the joy of making someone’s day better with a smile and a cup of coffee.

Alys went on to study Fine Art and Art History at university, a background that continues to inspire her culinary creativity. Her eye for colour and composition shines through in every beautifully plated dish she serves.

Before becoming a chef, Alys worked as a stewardess on superyachts, where she developed a deep understanding of luxury service, precision, and organization. Yet it was always the galley that drew her in—chatting with chefs, imagining menus, and daydreaming about ingredients.

That passion eventually led her back to what she loves most: creating unforgettable meals with her hands and heart. Now, Alys brings her artistic flair, warm hospitality, and love of food to every table, aiming to craft a dining experience that leaves a lasting.
