Marija Martens| Chief Stewardess | Macedonia

Marija was born and raised in Macedonia. She began her first journey to England after leaving home some
20+ years ago. Shortly after England, she set sail to the Caribbean and now counting 15+ years of
professional work experience in the yachting industry. Once she set foot on the beautiful island of St.
Maarten, she started bartending which resulted in winning two competitions. Her eagerness to travel,
explore and broaden her horizons led her to the first job as a stew on a mega yacht. The promotion to
chief stew came shortly thereafter and has been her passion ever since. As chief stew, she shares her
loyalty, enthusiasm, hard work, charisma, and positive energy with both the crew and the guests. You will
always be greeted by her smiling face and be prepared for the contagious laughter she enjoys spreading
on board.

For Brandon, adventure and boating are his true passions. He has spent his whole life on boats for various reasons, with fishing standing out as his favorite activity.

His long-term goal is clear: to embrace this lifestyle for as long as possible, with his sights set on becoming a captain one day.

For her, life is about staying open to whatever comes next and making the most of every opportunity.
