CASA BLANCA Яхта Хартия

Chef Kayla brings vibrant flavor, heartfelt hospitality, and creative flair to M/Y Casa Blanca. Originally from KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, she grew up in a home where cooking was a family affair - sparking her early love for fresh ingredients, colorful plates, and meals made with warmth and intention.

After completing two full charter seasons in the BVI, Kayla earned her GUEST Chef and Stewardess certifications, deepening both her culinary expertise and her service skills. Her cooking celebrates elevated, fresh flavors with a Mediterranean foundation and a distinct South African twist, often infused with South American or Asian inspiration.

Guests especially love her extravagant fruit platters and signature charcuterie boards - beautifully curated and always a highlight onboard. But for Kayla, food is just one part of the experience. From themed dinners and stunning tablescapes to island outings and personal touches, she loves creating immersive moments that guests remember long after their charter ends.

When she’s not in the galley, you’ll likely find Kayla scuba diving, snorkeling, testing new recipes, snapping photos, enjoying sunset cocktails, or working on her next Cricut creation. Warm, creative, and endlessly passionate, Chef Kayla turns every meal into a celebration of flavor and connection.

Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Angelina brings a bright, adventurous spirit and a well-rounded skill set to every charter. After earning her degree from the University of Tampa, she embarked on a sailing trip in 2019 that changed the course of her life - sparking a love for the sea that led her to shift careers from bartending to yachting.

Since then, Angelina has embraced a dynamic path in the industry, working in roles ranging from stewardess to chef to captain. She earned her Yachtmaster Offshore certification and continues to expand her seamanship with each passing season. Her passion for guest service, paired with her knowledge of the vessel and love of the ocean, makes her an invaluable part of the NENNE crew during full-capacity charters.

Onboard, Angelina loves connecting with guests, mixing creative cocktails, leading celebrations, and jumping in for a snorkel at any opportunity. Off the water, she enjoys hiking, Pilates, beach days, and discovering new destinations. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to lend a hand, she brings energy and ease to the guest experience - ensuring that every detail feels effortless and every moment is memorable.
