Languages: French, English, Spanish

After a long career in the food and catering industry in France and Spain, I discovered a new lifestyle aboard a sailboat with my partner; for the past 15 years I’ve been combining both my passion for gastronomy and sailing.
I am an attentive host, always actively listening to the guests to ensure they have the best possible experience. With an excellent knowledge for the Mediterranean cuisine and its products, I produce a fusion of my Spanish culture with French and Italian influences which result in creative dishes that can be adapted to individual tastes and wishes of our guests.
