Ivan began his culinary career in 2001. After graduating from university in Mexico City, he began operations within his culinary focus at hotels including the Four Seasons. In 2009, he stepped away from more commercial locations to chef and operated the Marakame Café in Cancun and then to a couple of other restaurants in the region, allowing him to develop his skills. In 2012, he took over the operations of a number of Seagoing restaurants, specifically for Holland America Line cruise ships. This gave him the opportunity to focus on plating, as well as creating meal programs for a large galley operation.
When Covid shut down operations with the cruise fleets, Ivan found himself in a position to narrow his culinary focus and entered yachting. Entering the world of yachting has allowed him to take his commercial high-end drive and bring it to a smaller, more intimate surrounding. He has been an integral part of a number of yachts where fast-paced galleys with exceptional results marked by creativity and fine execution were essential.
With a strong dedication to fine cuisine, he’s developed an active mindset through contemporary culinary techniques including blending diverse international flavors. His passion for balancing innovation and specific culinary traditions is reflected in his menus, carefully selecting each ingredient for authenticity. He aims to guide diners on a sensory journey that celebrates culinary mastery in a cultural context. Ivan looks forward to welcoming you on board NADAN and delivering “potions” of flavors and beauty.

M/Y CLUB M
Dundas was born and raised in South Africa and from an early age he was
always drawn to the water. Growing up in various places around the country,
including Durban, he developed a deep love for the ocean, rivers, and coastal
life. It was in Durban that he first became interested in sailing.
Before pursuing his passion for yachting, he spent ten years working in IT within the banking sector, both in London and South Africa. While he gained valuable experience in technology and business, the call of the sea was always strong. In 2001, he sailed his first transatlantic crossing, and by 2006 he made the leap into full-time yachting, combining both his love for boats and water with the knowledge and skills he gained over the years. Since then, he has had the privilege of captaining a variety of vessels, navigating some of the world’s most beautiful and challenging waters.
These days, he now resides in Baja California with his wife and two children.
When he’s not out on the water, he loves seeking out adventure in nature and
sharing these experiences with friends and family.

You might say that Jim was literally born into a life afloat. Shortly after being born in St Lucia, he found himself on the deck of his parents 60’ Gaff Yawl in a clinker dinghy crib which his father had built for his arrival into the world. After completing a degree in Electronics Engineering in England, he took off to the Mediterranean with the intention of travelling for a year, before taking up an engineering career. His first position was aboard the Schooner SHENANDOAH which turned into a year long adventure from Italy across both the Atlantic and Pacific to Japan.
Naturally, there was no going back and after 25 plus years, more than a hundred thousand sea miles and a wealth of experience, he is extremely pleased to be at the helm of NADAN and i continue the high standards and reputation of the yacht.
