ALOHA MALOLO Crew Profile

He also holds FAA Private Helicopter, Fixed Wing and Commercial Hot Air Balloon Pilot licenses. Eric is a nationally certified sailing instructor. His instructor qualifications have been examined and certified allowing him to teach and certify competency of achievement on various sailing skill levels.

Eric has lived in Hawaii, Colorado, and California with a career in real estate development and property management. Eric has been living and sailing on his fourth boat, Aloha Malolo for eight years and wants to share his adventure with you. Capt. Eric's philosophy is that a vacation on Aloha Malolo should be an unforgettable experience for his guests. Special requests, special destinations and special vacations are his specialty!
Chef Evelin grew up in the Caribbean listening to her Uncle's adventures stories when he came home from sailing charters. The Caribbean islands are her home. Evelin graduated with a degree in hotel administration with an emphasis on gourmet cooking. She studied with an accredited Cordon Bleu chef with over 10 years of charter yacht experience, and completed a four month course emphasizing Mediterranean cooking. Evelin graduated from an accredited Maritime Academy with STCW safety and International Crew Certifications. Fun loving and quick with a smile, Evelin invites you aboard her home to share a true culinary experience.
Optionally, Salty Dog can join your charter or stay ashore as you like. Salty is a mature Yellow Labrador with a sweet, serene, loving personality. Our charter guests have universally loved having Salty aboard – references are available! Salty's normal duties are to supervise snorkeling and fishing, finding dolphins and relaxing. Some people want their daily fur fix and even a game of Frisbee, and this Labrador is always happy to oblige. Our guest Karl particularly wanted Salty along for his two week sail training charter in January 2007. Karl and Salty fell in love. Dog and sailor were inseparable even to the point of swimming and running on the beach together.
