Born and raised in London, UK. The outdoors and adventure was always at the forefront of Jake's mind when it came to doing anything with his time, which was the reason for Jake?s interest in working as a landscape Gardener for several years. Here Jake acquired the necessary experience and balance in hard labour, using his hands, operating heavy machinery as well as keeping a keen eye for detail. It wasn?t until his early 20's Jake started to pick up sailing on the south coast of England and discovered a whole new world on the water which he fell in love with. In 2018, he obtained his Yacht Master Offshore in the UK which was the start of his professional role in the industry as a Yacht Captain. Jake has since had a huge amount of experience working on charter yachts all over the Mediterranean, Caribbean, French Polynesia and UK. Also, filled the roles as Lead Skipper and Route Manager for flotilla companies in various destinations. At the start and end of seasons, Jake would be keeping himself on the water working frequently as a yacht delivery skipper. In his free time, between charter seasons, Jake will always make sure he has something planned for the outdoors. From riding motorcycle enduro in the mountains in Europe, to jumping straight back into his old football team in his home town, Jake always wants to stay active. He spends the rest of his spare time participating in water sports, diving, tennis and some travelling.

Growing up in the English countryside with a family background in farming, Eleanor developed a love for fresh and seasonal produce, as well as the simple joy of bringing people together over good food from an early age. She has always had a passion for cooking, and realised after graduating university (with a creative degree in a totally different field) that she could combine her love of travel and food into an incredible career on the water. During her time in South East Asia, Eleanor took part in various local cooking classes to experience the authentic ways in which chefs created their incredible dishes. Extending her travels soon after, Eleanor moved to Australia for 8 months - her ideal way of escaping the British winter - and worked on board a privately owned motor yacht, delivering bespoke meals, creative menus and memorable moments for guests. Eleanor's passion for incorporating locally sourced and high quality ingredients sees her create nutritious and vibrant dishes, full of flavour and inspired by her surroundings. She looks forward to welcoming you on board Almosta Road!
