Your Crew
CAPTAIN Diogo & CHEF Constanca
Captain Diogo
Calm, experienced, and deeply connected to the sea, Captain Diogo is a Portuguese mariner with over 20 years of yachting experience and more than 40,000 nautical miles sailed across the Mediterranean and Atlantic. As an MCA Master 200GT, he combines strong technical expertise with a thoughtful and reassuring leadership style.
Diogo is known for designing smooth and inspiring itineraries that balance exploration, relaxation, and safety. Guests appreciate his steady presence at the helm and his talent for creating a welcoming, stress-free atmosphere on board. Whether planning a scenic anchorage, leading a dive, or simply sharing a story at sunset, Diogo’s quiet confidence and passion for the ocean set the tone for every journey aboard VIVI.
Chef & First Mate Constança
Creative, energetic, and endlessly resourceful, Constança is both VIVI’s Chef and First Mate — a rare blend of seamanship and hospitality. With more than 10,000 nautical miles under sail, she is an accomplished sailor who plays an active role in navigation and deck operations.
Her culinary inspiration comes from her background in marketing within the Blue Economy, where she developed a deep appreciation for sustainability and local ingredients. Constança crafts vibrant Mediterranean-inspired menus layered with global influences, always tailored to guests’ tastes and preferences. From fresh seafood and colorful salads to elegant plated dinners under the stars, her cooking reflects both artistry and heart.
Warm and attentive, Constança ensures that each guest feels personally cared for, turning every meal — and every moment — into something memorable.
Together, Diogo & Constança create a vibrant and harmonious crew who share one goal: to make guests feel completely at home while exploring the beauty of the Mediterranean. Their mix of seamanship, culinary flair, and heartfelt hospitality transforms every charter into a truly personal experience.
Fun fact: “Vivi” means “to be alive” in Portuguese — and that’s exactly how you’ll feel on board.
