Chef Victor is a Greek native born in 1995. He has solid experience as a sole chef on both sailing and motor charter yachts in Greek waters.

His cuisine is rooted in the Mediterranean — modern, comfort and traditional Greek — with confident excursions into French and Asian flavours, complemented by thoughtful wine pairings tailored to each guest. Having cooked for charter guests of up to eight aboard M/Y Opera, S/Y Gigreka and S/Y Darlin over the past two seasons, he is used to the rhythms of small-crew life and adapts easily to international tastes.
