Rocco's connection to the sea is both professional and deeply personal, a vocation built over years of dedicated service and a genuine love for everything the ocean offers. Since 2020, he has been at the helm of the charter yacht E3 (Ferretti 850), earning a reputation for flawless execution, warm guest relations and an instinctive understanding of what makes a charter truly special.
A natural collaborator, Rocco leads his crew with the belief that great charters are built on teamwork as much as seamanship. His enthusiasm for water toys and aquatic sports means guests are always in expert hands when adventure calls, whether on the water or beneath it.
Born in Chile to an Italian family and shaped by a lifelong passion for travel and discovery, Rocco brings a rare cultural fluency to every interaction on board, as comfortable with a sundowner conversation as with a complex passage plan.

Barbara's culinary journey is one of quiet refinement, shaped by years in some of Europe's most respected kitchens and brought, most recently, to the intimate world of yacht charter. With over a decade of fine dining behind her, she arrives on board with both the technique and the temperament to deliver exceptional food at sea.
Her restaurant career spans Michelin-starred kitchens across London and beyond, including Aquavit, Launceston Place, Arbutus and the two-starred Bentley Restaurant, where she progressed from Chef de Partie to Junior Sous Chef. A return to Italy saw her leading the kitchen at Rome's Michelin Guide-featured Benco Restaurant, before pivoting to private charter, first as a private chef on the French Riviera, then aboard the 28-metre charter yacht E3 cruising between Italy and France in 2024 and 2025.
Rooted in Italian tradition with a contemporary sensibility, Barbara crafts menus that are seasonal, guest-led and always memorable.

Aleksandra's career at sea spans over a decade of dedication to interior excellence, with experience across private and charter yachts ranging from 27 to 58 metres. Born in Poland and based in Genoa, she brings a rare combination of operational precision and warm, intuitive hospitality to every vessel she joins.
Her charter credentials are extensive, from two full seasons aboard the 27-metre Miredo to high-standard guest service on the 44-metre Baron Trenck, and most recently interior refit preparation and full seasonal setup aboard the 43-metre Leonardo III. Earlier postings on larger yachts including Baraka (58 m), Blanca (53 m) and Engelberg (55 m) have shaped her into a confident, hands-on leader of interior teams.
