Your Crew
CAPTAIN Pedro & CHEF Cova
MEET THE 2024/2025 CREW:
Captain Pedro:
I'm Pedro from Benidorm, southeast Spain, nestled between the sea and the mountains. Growing up, I embraced activities like kayaking, fishing, hiking, farming, and beekeeping. After completing my bachelor's degree in Marketing and Market Research, I embarked on fulfilling my travel dreams—exploring the trans-Siberian route, Mongolia, Australia, and hitchhiking the Silk Road. After over 2 years, during this journey, sailing emerged as a profound passion, particularly after my first Atlantic crossing.
Post my initial Atlantic adventure, I decided to immerse myself in the world of sailing and diving. I took steps to work on sailing boats and after that I gained experience in tender driving.
Hospitality and boats captivate me, and my ongoing goal is to continually enhance my skills to provide the best service possible. Looking ahead, I aspire to own a sailing yacht and make it my home in the future.
Chef/First Mate Cova:
I'm Cova from Malaga, southern Spain, and I'm passionate about the ocean. Since 2018, I've immersed myself in surfing, cooking, fishing and Brazilian Jujitsu.
I’ve always been passionate about cooking since I was a child. I grew up watching my grandmother and mother cook, so I try to replicate their dishes, Mediterranean style, which is full of flavors and culture. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences and a master's degree in Governance. Driven by a desire for an ocean-centric lifestyle, I began sailing in 2022. Over 8 months, I sailed from Grenada to the Bahamas. I worked as a stew/deckhand in Saint Tropez and successfully crossed the Atlantic Ocean in December 2023.
My goals are improving my cooking and sailing skills, deepening my knowledge of the ocean and its wildlife, obtaining certifications as a yacht master and above all enjoying the joy of this incredible oceanic lifestyle.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard Galaxsea!
