Crew Profiles:
Captain Adam
Originally from Ireland, Adam’s passion for sailing was sparked on the rugged West Coast at the Sligo Yacht Club, where he spent countless summers as a young camper before stepping into an instructor role. His dedication and leadership culminated in two seasons as Senior Instructor—during which the club earned the prestigious title of Irish Sailing Club of the Year. A formative sail around the entire island of Ireland deepened his love for offshore cruising and set the stage for his career on the water.

Adam is a graduate of Maynooth University, where he studied International Business on a rugby scholarship and spent a year abroad through the Erasmus+ program in Valencia, Spain. Yet no matter where academics took him, the sea was never far behind—he spent his summers skippering flotilla armadas across the Mediterranean, quickly rising to the role of lead skipper.

In December 2024, Adam expanded his horizons with a memorable passage around Guadeloupe, Antigua, and Barbuda, where he fell in love with the vibrant rhythm of the Caribbean. He went on to complete the 2024/2025 charter season in the British Virgin Islands and now looks forward to welcoming guests aboard, sharing his seamanship, stories, and the spirit of adventure that brought him here.




Chef Samantha
“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf

Originally from the UK, Chef Samantha has spent much of her twenties living between France, Croatia, and Colombia—drawn to destinations with rich cultures, vibrant food scenes, and life by the water. Her path to the galley began early, inspired by a love of hosting and an ever-growing curiosity about food. What started with dinner parties at home evolved into a full-time culinary career at sea.

Samantha has now completed three successful charter seasons across Croatia and the British Virgin Islands, most recently serving as sole Chef and First Mate aboard the luxury catamaran Luna Bliss. There, she was responsible for everything from provisioning and crafting customized menus to sailing, line handling, and maintaining a pristine guest-ready yacht.

With a background in hospitality and formal culinary training, Samantha brings both creativity and composure under pressure to every charter. She specializes in vibrant fusion cuisine that blends global flavors with fresh, local ingredients, and holds a special appreciation for classic French cooking. Each menu she creates is tailored to the guests, with flexibility, flavor, and beautiful presentation always at the forefront.

When she’s not in the galley, Samantha stays active through sailing, tennis, skiing, scuba diving, and exploring new cultures through food and language. For her, the magic of yachting lies in creating unforgettable moments—through thoughtful service, meaningful connections, and meals that bring people together. And as a trained salsa dancer, guests might just find themselves picking up a few new moves if the music and mood are right!
