Meet the crew: Captain Aritz, Chef Ashlyn & Deck hand/First Mate

Captain Aritz: Aritz lives for sailing and loves to share his passion for the sea with his guests. Born and raised in Spain, he spent his earlier years sailing and teaching kitesurfing around the world. After working as a kitesurfing instructor in Morocco, Egypt, the Netherlands, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, he realized that the best destinations are accessible only by boat and shifted his focus to becoming a Captain. Aritz now has over 50,000 miles under his belt. With 10 Atlantic crossings, 6 as Captain, you could say he loves to sail. He has spent three charter seasons in Greece and three in The Bahamas. He loves to share adventures of sailing and kiting with people.

Chef Ashlyn: Ashlyn is a trained and experienced chef and kitchen manager who is enthusiastic about fine foods, yachting, healing, arts, traveling and building a career based on all of her interests. Ashlyn has been cooking with excitement and curiosity for 9+ years within the restaurant, hotel and charter yacht industry and takes great pleasure with combining her experience and skills to create unique and personalized menus for her charter guests.

Deck hand/First Mate (x2 Rotational): Deckhand/Kite instructor Alessandro: Alessandro is a sea and wind lover. He’s our kitesurf instructor, photographer and video maker. During the last four seasons he was traveling around Cyclades, the land of Meltemi, as kite instructor. He started to kite several years ago, and thanks to it he had the opportunity to discover many beautiful places all over around the world. During his trips, he also improved his skills of photography and video making and he will catch all the best moments during our cruises and activities.
