Besides that he is a massive music fan and enthusiastic DJ which, as one might imagine, provides the basis for great on-board parties.

Daniela, the perfect first mate and chef, loves to make her guests feel healthy and happy. Her passion and love for food and service paired with Austrian culinary training, makes her the amazing chef she is. She is energetic and enthusiastic, loves sailing, hiking, snorkeling and sports.
