He later gained his Bachelor of Arts Degree with Honors in Music at the University of Salford, Manchester. Euros went on to manage The Royal Channel Island Yacht Club bar and restaurant. This provided him with valuable knowledge of the hospitality industry. He then moved to the ocean side of the yachting industry. There he spent over a year as a marine technician with Princess Yachts and Jeanneau. Euros has lived, crewed & raced on board a number of yachts, completing many ocean crossings.

EMILY WILLIAMS - CHEF
Emily is from the UK, the lovely Island of Jersey, situated in the Channel Islands between England and France. Soon after, she moved to North Wales, where she gained a passion for horses. In the summer holidays her passion shifted from the saddle to the helm, from riding white horses on the beach to riding white horses on the sea, sailing around Jersey with her father. Emily went on to study at the University of Northampton where she gained her Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in Education and English. After graduation from university, Emily had three years offshore banking experience, as a fund administrator in Jersey. Since then, the meaning “offshore” has changed for her. For two years she has worked as a Chef on the successful charter catamaran S/Y Swish. Prior to this she was a sous chef/stewardess on S/Y True North, where she studied with an Australian chef specializing in oriental and Thai cuisine. Emily’s menu touches on flavours from around the world. Emily is an award winning chef, winning Best Chef Overall at the 2007 Charter Yacht Boat Show. She will dazzle you with her culinary delights.

JAMES SYLVESTER – FIRST MATE
James is from the UK from a small village near the home of Stilton cheese. James is a dive enthusiast and his passion for this sport has driven his travels around the globe, in tropical lands such as Polynesia, Indonesia, Thailand and Australasia. James quit his career in Sales and Recruitment 10 years ago, to follow his dream to work as a diver, gaining both his Dive Master & Discover Scuba Diver Instructor qualifications. James sailed in the UK throughout his younger years, so with his love for all things ocean-inspired being an integral part of him, James sought out a career on the sea that could combine both his lust for travel to unusual places and his yearn to dive and sail in some of the best destinations in the world. A career on yachts was the natural progression for him, so James has spent the last 3 years working on luxury super yachts chartering in some of Europe’s most luxurious coastal destinations, during which he has completed his RYA Yachtmaster in Sail and Power and his Jet Ski Instructor licence. So if water sports are your thing, James will be more than happy to take you out on, or below the water at any time of the day!

Hayley’s life took an adventurous turn on meeting James, partnering him on his voyage around the globe for the last seven years, during which they have travelled extensively. Hayley loves to learn new skills and add strings to her bow, and so she embarked on a wine course completing a WSET Intermediate Certificate in Wines and Spirits and trained as a Masseuse specialising in Indian Head Massage. Sharing the same love of the sea, Hayley joined James onboard yachts three years ago as a Stewardess, working on several luxury super-yachts with some of the industries most experienced Stewards/Stewardesses.
