RESPITE AT SEA
RESPITE AT SEA
Chef Zina is Ukrainian and grew up in the seaside town of Yalta in Crimea. She worked in the hotel business from a young age and lived in Italy before meeting Sam and then training as a yacht chef in France, England and Thailand. Guests love Zina’s kindness and her prowess in the galley, where she consistently produces beautiful and delicious meals. Her other interests include music, dancing, swimming & diving.
Sam and Zina met on holiday where they spent long romantic days alone on the beach, dreaming of a life together in the sun. They married almost immediately on Little Bay Beach, Anguilla, and hatched a plan to work together in their dream job, which they call “running a floating 5-star hotel in paradise”. They have been sailing professionally side-by-side, full-time for eight years, all over the eastern Caribbean, across the Atlantic and around much of the Mediterranean. They consider themselves very lucky to be living in beautiful places, sharing their happiness, excellent food and a good vibes with their guests.
