Namaste, my name is Danielle. I’m an ocean lover and free spirit above all!

I gained some experience sailing and sharing life aboard on a James Wharram catamaran, Tiki 38, through 2022–2023. Then continued learning sailing a Leopard 45 through Nov 23- Feb 24 on the East coast of USA and Bahamas.
Since Oct 2024, I’ve been sailing from Sicily to and around Caribbean on a Moody DS 45, a Norwegian boat 75ft and working on a private yatch Gulfstar 80.

Even though I have been sailing for a while, it’s been only for personal pleasure. With all the experience that I’ve gained and the passion for the nautical world, I’m finally looking for some paid opportunities as chef, competent crew and/or hosting whist I continue gaining experience to futurely assume bigger responsibilities. The experience on findacrew.net/364557 has been amazing and the boat owner’s love my job, but unfortunately the boat is being hauled out in Trinidad.

Work wise, I’m very smart, quick learner and adaptable. More importantly, I’m dedicated and responsible. I have background in corporate finance-strategic planner. Dropped that life 15 years ago and bring with me overall good organization, budgeting and ability to take orders.

There’s a possibility of teaming up with the professional captain of the yacht findacrew.net/364557 (Clint, profile findacrew.net/330763).
I’m also open to hop onboard by myself and cruise around in a more chilled and friendly environment without being paid for. Let’s see what this journey flows into!

I currently do some remote Mindfulness teaching, mentoring and other mental health projects. So I do need little computer time every once in a while. It would be lovely if the boat has Starlink to help me continue with this mission :)

Sailing Lifestyle :: I Love living a board, passages, anchorages and nautical lifestyle in general. I’m willing to explore the world and live off grid. The bigger plan is to circumnavigate! The next part of the dream is South Pacific. I’ve already done an around the world once by land/air. :)

About me :: I’m really easy going, very smiley, adventurous, active and very well organized/ clean. I love practicing yoga, meditation, diving and would love to learn kitesurfing. I love being in the water, swimming and diving. Self awareness, philosophy, spirituality and eco consciousness take space in my lifestyle. I feel nourished with deep meaningful conversations and hope so do you. :)

Food :: I like to eat very healthy and like to cook per nutrition, with creativity! I can adapt cooking to your preference and diet, including gluten. I’m intolerant to gluten, and I somehow manage to always get around when traveling. I’ve been learning how to fish, which includes fillet as well :) I’ve worked as sous chef in New Zealand years ago.

Communication :: I have great communication and listening skills, plus I speak a few languages and love to exchange knowledge! Music wise, I love to sing, I’m eclectic and personal preference is “medicine music”. I enjoy and need quiet personal time, it recharges my soul.

I am hands on, very collaborative and eager to learn. I can help on planning, preparation, provisioning, anchorages, maneuvers, overall deck work and do watches, including nights. And of course, be helpful anywhere needed, such everyday basics: cooking, cleaning, handing tools, drive the dinghy and further.

I love life onboard and rarely feel seasick.
I can be very economical with water usage, you’ll be surprised :)

I’m a Hardcore traveller. I’ve been to over 40 countries, many by myself. Lived in Brazil, India, New Zealand, USA.
I speak 3 languages fluently, a few words in many others.

I’d love to connect with adventurous souls while exploring our planet / Gaia.
