CAPTAIN Gustavo Ferolla & MATE/CHEF Leticia Aiache
With over 15,000 nautical miles sailed across the Brazilian coast, Caribbean, Bahamas and the Mediterranean, Gustavo brings extensive experience and a genuine passion for life at sea.
After years living aboard his own sailboat and working in yacht deliveries and luxury charters, he developed a calm, confident approach to navigation and guest experience. Whether planning the perfect itinerary, finding secluded anchorages, or ensuring smooth and safe passages, his priority is for guests to feel completely relaxed and cared for throughout their journey.
Passionate about sailing, weather, and seamanship, Gustavo enjoys sharing his knowledge of the ocean while creating memorable days on the water. His professional yet easygoing nature helps guests feel at home from the moment they step onboard.
Born and raised in Brazil, Letícia found her true calling where her two greatest passions meet: the sea and food.
After building a successful career as a Dietitian, she followed her passion for the ocean, moving aboard her 31-foot sailboat, Blue. Living at sea transformed her lifestyle and naturally led her to larger projects, where she could combine her love for sailing, hospitality, and creating meaningful experiences around the table.
Today, as your onboard chef, Letícia brings together her nutritional background to create fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented meals inspired by local ingredients and the flavours of each destination.
Her philosophy is simple: every meal should become a memorable part of your journey — whether it’s a relaxed breakfast at anchor, a leisurely lunch after a swim, or a special dinner under the stars. She believes great food has the power to bring people together and become one of the highlights of an unforgettable charter.
