JAMES

James grew up in the British countryside on a farm. From a young age he was obsessed with anything and everything mechanical. He spent summers in his father’s Irish coastal hometown of Dungarvan and it was there that he developed a love for the ocean.

He started a career in the luxury eyewear industry working for brands such as TAG Heuer and Calvin Klein, but eventually his love for the ocean won out and drew him toward a career in the yachting industry. He has worked for two years now as a charter captain in various locations including Croatia and French Polynesia.

OLGA

Olga grew up in Odessa, a beautiful Ukrainian city near the Black Sea. From the beginning, it was Olga’s dream to travel the world. She loves the opportunity to work with people and started as a crew agent, but the sea, traveling and boat life remained her passion.

This dream became a reality when she landed her first job onboard a motor yacht as a Stewardess, cruising the Mediterranean and Caribbean sea. Olga’s passion for cooking and traveling became a wonderful mix of dreams and reality.

She enjoys exploring her surroundings, experiencing different meals and learning new cultures. This allows her to add meals to her menu that are inspired by her creativity both in presentation and flavor.
