Deckhand
Maria Chiara was born in a small seaside town in Italy, where her passion for cooking took root at a very young age. Inspired by her grandmother - an exceptional cook - she began experimenting in the kitchen as a child, laying the foundation for what would become her lifelong vocation.
At 20, she moved over 1,000 km from her hometown, embracing hard work and independence by taking on various jobs before opening her own artisanal gelato shop in Pavia. While successful, Maria Chiara always missed the sea. In 2015, she made the life-changing decision to sell her business and return to her roots - this time aboard a sailing yacht.
Since then, Maria Chiara has combined her love for the sea and cooking by working as a chef and hostess aboard catamarans sailing across Italy, France, Spain, and the Caribbean. Her warm personality, excellent organizational skills, and dynamic team spirit make her an essential crew member.
To enhance her culinary repertoire, Maria Chiara has also worked in renowned restaurants in London and Barcelona during the winter seasons. Her diverse experience and strong interpersonal skills make her particularly adept at understanding guest preferences and creating personalized menus.
She finds immense satisfaction in making people happy through food, believing that a great dish has the power to transform an entire day at sea.

Born and raised in the heart of Rome, Daniele pursued a background in scientific studies before embarking on a 15-year career with the national police. Yet, the call of the sea had always been stronger than any land-bound duty.
