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
city, the beach and her grandparents’ farm, where family gatherings and home-cooked
meals inspired her lifelong appreciation for food and connection.
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
presented, flavourful dishes tailored to each guest. From relaxed beach barbecues to
elegant multi-course dinners, she focuses on creating memorable dining experiences
that enhance every charter.

Bri's love of sailing began at the age of 13 when her father bought a sailboat and taught
her to sail. She spent many summers exploring New Zealand's coastline and the islands
of the South Pacific, where she developed a love for the ocean and life on the water.
In 2022, after crossing the Indian Ocean, Bri relocated to Europe to begin her career in
the yachting industry. Since then, she has gained experience sailing throughout Europe
and the Caribbean, and recently completed a journey halfway around the world as part
of the Oyster World Rally.

Bri is a keel boat racer, sailing instructor, she is a baker and a barista- a true world
traveller. Passionate about sailing and the ocean, Bri enjoys freediving and scuba diving
whenever she has the opportunity. Her enthusiasm for the ocean and warm, welcoming
nature make her a valued part of the team.
