DANIELE MARCENARO
Deckhand
With 28 seasons of experience in yachting, Giorgio has spent his life at sea. Coming from a family of fishermen, he naturally started his career as a fisherman before transitioning into the yachting industry. Over the years, he has worked as a deckhand and even a deckhand chef before earning his position as captain on a 40m.. Giorgio has an in-depth understanding of high-end service, having spent nine years working for a Russian family with exceptionally high standards. His time with them included both private and charter operations, giving him valuable expertise in delivering top-tier experiences. His extensive knowledge of cruising destinations is unmatched. Having been based in Monaco for many years, he knows the South of France inside out and is highly familiar with Corsica, Sardinia, and Southern Italy. However, his favorite cruising ground remains the Balearic Islands, where he has completed multiple seasons and developed a deep appreciation for the region. Some of his top recommendations include Sa Foradada at sunset and Sa Calobra in Mallorca, Cala Luna in Sardinia in the morning, and Panarea in the Aeolian Islands. When it comes to charter ports, Giorgio favors Saint-Tropez, Portovenere, and Sant’Angelo in Ischia for their charm and accessibility. Beyond navigation, Giorgio enjoys organizing special dinners and themed parties onboard, often incorporating his love for Italian music. His personal passions include diving and fishing, reflecting his lifelong connection to the sea.
GIORGIO CAPUCCINI
Captain
Alessandro began his career as a waiter in Sanremo’s most renowned Michelin- starred restaurant, working his way up to maître d’ before following his passion into the kitchen. He went on to run his own restaurant, The B Bros, in the heart of Sanremo for 10 years, earning a reputation for signature dishes like risotto with raw Sanremo violet prawns, brasato, and authentic carbonara, alongside a refined approach to Mediterranean and healthy cuisine. An expert in wine pairings, he brings a deep understanding of flavors to every meal. Unlike the stereotypical fiery chef, Alessandro is known for his calm, polite, and positive nature. A lifelong best friend of Captain Giorgio, he long resisted the yachting world until joining Tommy Belle for a two-week charter—an experience that made him fall in love with the sea. Now, for the first time, they are working together for a full season, determined to elevate the onboard dining experience to the highest level for a yacht under 30 meters.
