Chef Anna
Julle met Anna in Santorini, Greece where she was working in a restaurant that he picked up charter guests at each week. Her fantastic cuisine and warm personality caught his heart and the rest is ”History”. Together they have sailed to many parts of the world catering to many exclusive guests. Anna’s career has included being a chef, hostess, deckhand, first mate, and stewardess. She is a fun-loving Greek lady. Over the past 9 years, she has been sailing with Julle around Greece, the Caribbean, Mexico & Belize, Italy, Croatia, Malta, Montenegro, and Turkey. Anna has a very strong background in food, hospitality, and customer care. She graduated as a graphic designer from Athens Akto Art & Design College in Greece. She has been in the fine dining industry since 1997 specializing in Mediterranean cuisine (Greek and Italian). When you taste her food and see her beautifully table setting, you will say ” Bravo ” for her meal prepared just for you!
April 2026
The moment our adventure began, we were greeted with a warm welcome from our incredible crew, Captain Julle and Chef Anna. Throughout the week, we moved seamlessly from island to island, discovering stunning views at every turn. Captain Julle was always ready to deploy the water toys or tender us to the perfect snorkeling spots, effortlessly satisfying every “paradisiacal whim.”
And then there was Chef Anna’s cooking—simply divine. From breakfast to dinner, she presented us with meals that were as creative in their presentation as they were delicious. She even graciously shared her recipes and hosted a baklava-making demonstration.
Julle’s dry wit and Anna’s spirited conversation truly made them the heart of this journey; by the end of the week, we felt like part of their nautical family.
This trip meant the world to us, as we traveled in honor of my late mother, who would have cherished every moment. We left the MIRA SOL with lifelong memories and new friends. Cheers to hoping our paths cross again soon!

Mira Sol is a beautiful, comfortable, and clean yacht with plenty of room for all of us to stretch out and enjoy both private time and fun times together. The yacht was very well ventilated, and the crew did a great job making sure our cabins were well air conditioned when we were using them. Julle and Anna were the most wonderful crew imaginable. We enjoyed their company so much — they were professional, warm, and full of personality. Every meal and every snack was incredible, with fresh, healthy, delicious food that was beautifully presented. Anna was especially thoughtful in making sure our gluten-free guest was well taken care of. Julle and Anna truly stole our hearts. I personally had tears in my eyes from the morning of our departure all the way through the airport. We cannot imagine a charter without them and will absolutely be asking for them again. We also loved the BVI, enjoyed our time in St. John, and especially loved Anegada. We are already talking about a repeat charter in 2027.
