Melody
Meet Melody, a 24-year-old culinary dynamo from Toronto, Canada. With a deep-seated passion for the sea and sailing, Melody has navigated through both professional and personal pursuits with a zest for adventure. For the past two years, she’s been cooking up a storm as a private chef on sailing boats in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.
When Melody isn’t working on a boat, she enjoys skiing and touring in the mountains. She also likes playing golf, tennis, or pickleball because she enjoys the company and competition.
Melody cares a lot about doing things well and making people feel welcome, she loves using top-quality ingredients to make delicious meals. She’s a friendly and hardworking team player who’s always eager to help out.

Rolf
Meet Rolf, a Viking at heart from the stunning fjords of Norway. With an undying love for sailing, he’s dedicated to sharing the thrill of the open sea with others. Nothing brings Rolf more joy than seeing the excitement on someone’s face as they raise their first sail. After a day of adventure, he savors dropping anchor in a peaceful bay, enjoying a feast prepared by the onboard chef.
Rolf’s journey with the sea began racing dinghies along Norway’s coastline. His talent led him to international competitions and coaching at just 15. Now, as a Captain, he’s tackled daring voyages, including crossing the Atlantic.
With over 15,000 miles of experience and extensive navigation skills, he has become adept at handling vessels and ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers. Rolf possesses a knack for problem-solving, qualities that have proven invaluable in his role as a captain.
In addition to his sailing endeavours, Rolf has also worked in the Adriatic Sea, gaining valuable experience in crew management, vessel maintenance, and delivering exceptional customer service. Sailing isn’t merely a profession for him; it’s his life’s passion, driving him to share the thrill with all who join him on the waves.
