Power Yacht Cest La Vie

Dani was born and raised in a small coastal town in the South of Brazil. Her family's heritage is a rich blend of cultures, with her great-grandparents immigrating from Europe to escape the war. The culinary traditions she learned from both sides of her family, rooted in Spain, Portugal and Italy, still influence her cooking today. After graduating in Business Administration in Brazil, Dani spent a year in Australia to develop her English skills and pursue further studies in her field. Upon returning to Brazil to commence her professional career, her time abroad had instilled in her a desire for a more fulfilling path than the confines of an office job. Following an invitation from Paul, she ventured to Belize where they began working together. Discovering a passion for cooking and feeling at home in the kitchen, Dani's culinary skills blossomed. Seeking to refine her abilities, she recently attended Ashburton Cookery School. Dani delights in infusing her Brazilian heritage into her dishes while incorporating elements of Caribbean cuisine, utilizing local and fresh ingredients to elevate flavors and aromas. In her leisure time, she indulges in playing padel, reading, hiking, snorkeling, and practicing yoga.

Paul and Dani first crossed paths in Thailand back in 2012. Their connection endured over the years, and in 2018, Paul visited Dani in Brazil invited her to join him. Since then, they have worked in various locations, including Belize, Antigua, the Bahamas,

Thailand, and the BVI. As a team, they love being able to entertain, share stories and meet new people to learn theirs.

Growing up in South Africa near the ocean, Danika was always drawn to the allure of the sea. But it was her upbringing in the service industry that taught her the value of creating exceptional experiences for others.

Her journey took a turn when she landed a job on a yacht in Europe attending the Super yacht cup. She was swept up in the adventure and excitement of life at sea. As she honed her skills on yachts, Danika discovered a passion for adventure and a love for the freedom that came with life on the water.

She decided to move to the BVI and try out a completely different experience, this is what truly captured her heart. The island life, with its vibrant culture and stunning natural beauty, stole her soul. Danika began to appreciate the joy of connecting with others and creating unforgettable experiences for her guests.

Now, as Danika continues on her journey, she is dedicated to merging her love for adventure, service, and the ocean. She aims to inspire a sense of wonder and awe in all those around her.
