Originally from the mountains of Slovakia, Martin is passionate about adventure, sport and

the great outdoors. Growing up, he spent his time mountain biking, white-water rafting,

climbing and sailing the Croatian coastline with his family during the summer.

Martin has worked as a professional yacht captain for the past nine years. He began his

career in the Mediterranean before spending four years in the Caribbean and the British

Virgin Islands. Most recently, he captained a yacht halfway around, sailing from Newport,

US through the Panama Canal, Galápagos Islands, French Polynesia and the South Pacific

before arriving in Australia.

An avid diver, Martin has been fortunate to explore some of the world’s most spectacular

underwater destinations. His favourite dive sites include Fiji, Bonaire, the Galápagos

Islands and Thailand. After completing his Divemaster certification in Greece, he is

passionate about sharing the beauty of the underwater world with guests and creating

unforgettable experiences both above and below the surface.

With an adventurous spirit, calm leadership and a genuine love for life on the

water, Martin enjoys introducing guests to hidden anchorages, pristine reefs and incredible

destinations. When he’s not sailing, you’ll likely find him kiteboarding, enjoying a game of

chess, or planning his next adventure.

Tamara brings a passion for fresh, seasonal cuisine, warm hospitality and a love of

travel to every charter experience. Originally from Australia, she grew up between the

Before yachting, Tamara worked as an Occupational Therapist in Sydney and London.

After meeting her partner Martin while travelling through Croatia, she discovered the

world of yachting and has worked as a charter chef since 2021. She has since cooked

aboard yachts across the Mediterranean, Caribbean and South Pacific, including

completing a journey half way around the world as a part of the Oyster World Rally,

creating fresh, seasonal menus while sailing remote and beautiful destinations.

Tamara trained at Ashburton Cookery School in England and Sydney Cooking School,

and continues to develop her culinary skills through travel and hands-on experiences.

She has also completed seasonal placements on boutique vineyards in Italy, gaining

insight into regional produce, local food traditions and sustainable farming practices.

Known for her friendly nature and attention to detail, Tamara creates beautifully
