Hello! I’m Denise, an adaptable hospitality professional with extensive experience in both yachting and land-based settings. I’ve sailed and lived aboard for years, my family’s involvement in the yacht industry having taken me across the Atlantic four times. I’m confident supporting different areas of a yacht, from deck operations to interior duties, and I thrive in teams that push everyone toward their best. My travels and multicultural background have shaped me into a flexible, hands-on contributor who stays calm under pressure and eager to learn. Based in Barcelona, I’m continually developing my career in the yachting industry. I bring cooking and galley provisioning skills, guest service, watchkeeping, and practical maintenance to the crew, along with a proactive mindset for digital tools and IT-minded problem solving. I’m excited to contribute to a crew that values creativity, reliability, and teamwork while delivering memorable experiences for owners and guests.
