Alessandra joins the team aboard DANIDA bringing a genuine passion for hospitality and a keen eye for detail, built through years in client-facing roles before making the move to yachting. She has spent time on deck as a day worker aboard Zaca and F100, supporting daily onboard operations, cleaning and guest area preparation, and gaining a practical grounding in how a well-run yacht operates. Her background in client relations and retail, handling front and back office demands with composure, has sharpened her organizational skills and her ability to stay calm under pressure.
Italian born and raised, Alessandra is warm, adaptable and quick to integrate into new teams, with a natural instinct for anticipating what guests need before they ask. She brings enthusiasm, reliability and a strong sense of professionalism to every task, whether that's turning down cabins or keeping the interior spotless.

Monica's journey with the sea began over a decade ago, when she first swapped life on land for the galley of a charter yacht. Since then, she has built a distinguished career as a professional chef aboard some of Italy's most celebrated motor yachts, combining culinary excellence with the unique demands of life on the water.
Over the years, Monica has served aboard a succession of prestigious charter vessels, including the 44-metre Lady in Blue and, most recently, a 50-metre Italian-flagged mega yacht. Her experience spans Ischia, Viareggio, and the broader Tyrrhenian coast, always within the world of crewed charter. Before the sea, she honed her craft in Italian restaurants across China, an experience that sharpened both her versatility and her instinct for hospitality at its finest.
