He’s been sailing around all the Mediterranean, Caribbean and North Sea but he decided that was the moment to come back to his home and show the guest his knowledge about his prefered área, the Mediterranean sea.

Giovanni Luca Certosino
Chef de la cuisine
Italian, from Tuscany. He has worked in catering for more than 25 years, charter yachts, big fashion brands, bureaucratic environments or simple high-‐end restaurants....the diversity of working environments, has developed in me the ability to meet any need of customers. He loves cooking fish but the origins of my land have given me a passion for the study of meat cooking. Since he was a child he always loved the sea, due to the fact that his father was president of a marina that he himself built, so that he spent more time at sea than playing on land, this is why he loves to work on yachts, an extremely sportive person, lover of his family and children, waiting to fulfill any culinary desire.
