Francesco is 37 years old and hails from Ischia, Naples. He graduated from the Nautical School of Forio (Ischia) and over the course of five years, worked as an electrician, plumber, laborer in construction companies, in a shipyard, as a deckhand on several ships, and even in a parking garage.
Francesco has always been a hardworking and eager individual. After completing his high school degree, he began working as a cadet on various ships but continued to pursue his true passion for yachts, working on them during the summer. At 26, he earned his "Capitano di Lungo Corso" (Sea Captain) license. He continued his work as a cadet on merchant ships, always keeping his dream in mind: to become the Captain of a fast yacht.
That dream became a reality after his second season as Captain on a Ghibli 60-foot yacht, when he was hired as Captain on a Pershing 88 for charter, where he remained for four years. Francesco was the Captain of an XKE Fairline 78 Squadron from 2012 to 2014, and in 2015 and 2016, he worked on the Alalunga 78, Happy Feet. Now he delights his guests aboard Zia Canaia.
Francesco says: "I was 6 when I skippered my father’s dinghy for the first time, 16 when I left home to join a Johnson 63 in Sardinia, 20 when, as a cadet, I took the wheel of a 219-meter ship replacing a mate, and 26 when I skippered a Pershing 88 to reach 40 knots..."
Francesco is a young, dynamic, and experienced charter Captain, fully prepared to meet his guests' expectations and ensure they have an unforgettable charter experience. He speaks fluent English.

Adriano is 32 years old and, like the Captain, hails from Ischia/Naples. He graduated with a diploma as a Commercial Expert from the Technical Institute in Nola, Naples. Adriano comes from a family of restaurant owners, and from a young age, he was immersed in the kitchen, growing up around stoves.
From the age of 14 to 23, Adriano worked at his family’s restaurant as a pizzaiolo and assistant chef, as well as in several Italian restaurants in London as a pizza chef. In 2009, he transitioned into the yachting industry, starting his career as a deckhand on a vintage Motor Sailer named CAPO DI FERO. Over time, Adriano had the opportunity to showcase his culinary talents, gradually taking on the role of cook onboard.
After a few years, Adriano obtained his Nautical License for Pleasure Craft, both for Sailing and Motor Yachts. He then worked in Viareggio on a vintage 21-meter sailing yacht, CAPITAN LIPARI, as chef/steward, sailing from Gaeta to Elba Island and along the coasts of France and Spain. He also worked on the MYOSOTIS, a charter sailing yacht, where he received excellent references.
In the summer of 2014, he started collaborating with Captain Francesco on M/Y XKE, Fairline 78. In 2015, he worked on M/Y FAR FAR AWAY, an Inace 38-meter yacht, and M/Y MARHABA, an Ocea 108, again as chef. In 2016, Adriano worked as a chef on Happy Feet, continuing his partnership with Captain Francesco, and now delights his guests' taste buds aboard Zia Canaia.
Adriano has continually improved his skills and qualifications by attending various courses and obtaining the following certifications: First Aid Training, Survival and Rescue Training, Firefighter Training (Base and Advanced), and Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (PSSR).
Adriano speaks good English, has a sunny and polite personality, and is well-mannered. He enjoys working in a team and loves cooking. He firmly believes that simplicity is the key to great cuisine.
