Captain Enrique de la Gandara Guzman
Dear Guests,
I began sailing at the age of eleven, participating in national and international regattas on Optimist, Cadet, Snipe, and sail cruiser vessels. Over the past decade, I have developed a professional career in the maritime industry. My sailing experiences have taken me along the Spanish coast, Canary Islands, Balearic Islands, the coast of Portugal, northern Morocco, Corsica, Sardinia, the west coast of Italy, Greece, the Dodecanese, Cyclades, Ionian, Corfu, and Turkey. Additionally, I have completed two Atlantic crossings as a skipper from Spain to the Caribbean and Brazil. I consider myself dynamic, responsible, and professional. Funny person, nature and sport lover. I am committed to continuous improvement, accumulating miles at sea, sharing my passion for sailing, and providing exceptional service with discretion while meeting the needs of shipowners and guests. Safety is paramount in all my endeavors, guiding my meticulous planning and actions onboard. I am very excited to begin this new challenge and have the opportunity to create an unforgettable experience for our future guests.
Chef Cora
Dear Guests,
I started yachting five years ago, aboard a Lagoon 620 catamaran as a stewardess and deckhand. Since then, I have sailed more than 15,000 nautical miles in different leisure crafts across the Mediterranean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean. My roles have included managing the interior departments, provisioning, organizing food, exploring new flavors from around the world to incorporate into my meals, and assisting the captain with
maneuvers and watchkeeping. One of the most significant challenges of my life was crossing the Atlantic, which allowed me to solidify my passion for this field. My other passion is cuisine, which my grandmother and mother instilled in me from a young age.I'm enthusiastic about providing healthy, homemade meals, creating menus with minimal processed foods, drawing from my experience in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine, as well as some Asian and Mexican dishes. I enjoy innovating in the galley, studying cooking courses and learning the culinary techniques of the countries we visit.
My main objective is to continue accumulating miles and knowledge in my career, to train and gain more experience to provide the best service that meets the expectations of owners and guests, and to enjoy all that the sailing world has to offer.
Looking forward to meeting you soon
Cora Garrido Lopez
