Crew Profiles:
Captain Arno was born in France, at a city near the sea. So, it was only natural that he got involved from a very early age with yachts, building a solid reputation as an experienced yachtsman and a Captain for over 35 years.
He has sailed extensively over the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic & Ionian seas and the Caribbean. During his trips he gained valuable experience and mastered all types and sizes of yachts – monohulls and catamarans - while sailing for owners and guests alike. He not only acquired extensive technical know-how during those long trips but also a “feeling” for the yacht. This well-rounded knowledge instills to crew and guests a solid sense of security, while at the same time guests enjoy a unique sailing experience.
Stewardess Maria has an extensive experience in client relations and the hospitality industry. For the last 3 years she has been sailing as a Sailor / Stewardess onboard catamarans in Santorini, meticulously building her career in the yachting industry.
While onboard, it is evident that she feels at home on ADEL. So, as a host, she welcomes her guests with warmth and enthusiasm. For Maria nothing is too small or unimportant and together with the rest of the crew, she will go to great lengths for her guests, making sure that they will finally leave ADEL with unforgettable moments of their sailing vacations.
Chef Chris' first love was sports, but from early on , as he was trying different outlets for his creativity, he realised that that cooking was also a very creative occupation, and he chose to take it. He studied in a culinary school and practiced at the same time to restaurants, slowly climbing the ladder to reach the position of C' Chef in one of the most awarded restaurants in Greece - Spondi. The next step was to try a different road, that of the Chef on a sailing yacht, a position both creative and demanding.
