Thibault is now entering his third season on board and, over the years, has become an essential part of the yacht’s identity. Working seamlessly between service, housekeeping, and guest care, he is incredibly versatile — equally at ease preparing cabins to the highest standards, assisting with service, or spending time with guests and children on board.
Naturally attentive and genuinely warm, Thibault is often one of the first faces guests connect with. His kindness, patience, and easygoing personality make him particularly appreciated by families, where he instinctively knows how to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere for both adults and children.
Having built a strong professional relationship with Captain Jérémy over the past three years, the two form a perfectly balanced and highly efficient team. Their mutual understanding, trust, and shared standards of excellence are reflected in the smooth running of every charter and the consistently high level of service delivered on board.
With experience gained on yachts of various sizes, Thibault is also highly capable when it comes to manoeuvres and general vessel maintenance. Dynamic, meticulous, and an excellent communicator, he quickly earns guests' confidence while contributing discreetly yet effectively to the overall onboard experience.

Ankit, 26 years old and from India, is a chef whose identity has been shaped as much by travel as by the kitchens he has worked in. Each journey has added a new layer to his cooking — not just in technique, but in spirit and understanding.
Born into India's rich culinary heritage, he carries within him an instinctive mastery of spice, regionality, and the kind of flavour that speaks to memory.
Time spent in the Himalayas of Nepal deepened that connection —
teaching him that the most powerful food is often the most honest.
In Italy and Malta, he absorbed the Mediterranean philosophy of letting exceptional, seasonal produce speak for itself.
In Pays Basque, Spain, he discovered a cuisine of fierce local pride, bold flavour, and an unwavering connection to the sea — a spirit that resonates deeply with life on board.
These travels, layered over years of rigorous fine dining in Michelin-starred kitchens across France, where he grew from Chef de Partie to Sous Chef, overseeing a full brigade, a bustling restaurant service and grand
banquets — have forged a chef of rare range, depth, and sensitivity.
Meticulous yet instinctive, creative and warmly attentive to every guest's needs, Ankit adapts effortlessly to any palate or occasion. He brings the heart of two culinary worlds to your table — where classical French discipline meets the bold, soulful flavours of his travels.
Share your desires with him, and he will transform them into something truly unforgettable.

Originally trained in hotel management, Jérémy began his career in the hospitality industry, working in prestigious 4-star establishments such as the Sofitel in the South of France. There, he developed a strong foundation in service excellence, gaining hands-on experience across catering, guest relations, and accommodation management before transitioning to the yachting industry in 2006.
He initially built his technical and operational expertise as a First Officer and Chief Engineer, before obtaining his Master 500GT license in 2017 and stepping into his role as Captain in 2019. Over the years, Jérémy has worked on both private and charter yachts ranging from 24 to 50 meters, cruising extensively throughout the Mediterranean, including the South of France, Corsica, the Italian coastline, Sardinia, Sicily, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and the Balearic Islands.
Jérémy has been the Captain of IMAGINE since her delivery — a key element that truly sets him apart. From day one, he has shaped the yacht’s standards, onboard culture, and charter philosophy. Every single charter under his command, without exception, has been a genuine success. This consistency is no coincidence, but the direct result of his natural kindness, unwavering attention to detail, and remarkable discretion. He understands intuitively how to anticipate guests’ needs while maintaining the perfect balance between presence and privacy — a rare quality that high-end clients immediately recognize and appreciate.
With the Mediterranean as his home ground, Jérémy combines deep regional knowledge with an exceptional network of contacts. Whether it’s securing a last-minute berth in Saint-Tropez, arranging exclusive experiences, or guiding guests to hidden anchorages away from the crowds, he delivers effortlessly. His recommendations — from refined dining to vibrant nightlife and authentic local experiences — are always perfectly tailored.
What truly defines Jérémy, however, is the atmosphere he creates on board. His calm leadership, positive energy, and genuine care for both guests and crew foster a relaxed, elegant, and welcoming environment. Under his command, every charter aboard IMAGINE becomes far more than a holiday — it is a seamless, refined, and deeply memorable experience.
