TWIN FLAME 77 Carta de Iate

Chef Francisco “Pancho” Pacheco brings a global perspective and adventurous spirit to the galley aboard Twin Flame. Originally from Chile, his cooking is inspired by the vibrant flavors and traditions of South America, combined with techniques and influences gathered from more than a decade of traveling the world.

Pancho has worked aboard luxury yachts and high-end dive vessels, cooking for guests in some of the world’s most remote and beautiful destinations. These experiences have shaped a style that is both refined and creative, focused on fresh ingredients and bold, memorable flavors.

When not at sea, Pancho resides in Vietnam—an experience that has deeply influenced his cuisine. His menus often blend the bright herbs and balanced spice of Southeast Asian cooking with the richness of Latin American and Mexican flavors, all elevated through classic French technique.

Guests aboard Twin Flame can expect vibrant, thoughtfully crafted dishes—from fresh ceviches and market-inspired lunches to elegant dinners that reflect Pancho’s travels and culinary curiosity.

For Chef Pancho, food is part of the journey, and every meal is designed to enhance the experience of life at sea.

Cameron Keefe

Cameron grew up between the rocky coastline and snowy mountains of Portland, Maine. While she’ll always love her home state, and skiing its peaks, her love for the ocean and warmer weather eventually pulled her further afield. After graduating from the University of Maine, Cameron joined the yachting industry in 2018, a path that has since taken her around the world. She has worked aboard both large sailing yachts and catamarans, from the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas and Caribbean to the far-flung coasts of Patagonia, Alaska, and even Greenland.
Holding her Yachtmaster Offshore certification, Cameron brings a strong foundation in seamanship while balancing her role with a natural flair for hospitality. Her time managing a boutique hotel in Costa Rica gave her valuable experience in creating exceptional guest experiences, which she now blends seamlessly with her life at sea.
Cameron is happiest when she’s in or on the ocean- surfing, scuba diving, free diving, or simply under sail. She also loves hiking, traveling, and discovering new corners of the world. With her adventurous spirit, love for the sea, and diverse background, Cameron is excited to contribute to the crew and deliver an unforgettable season for guests.
