      Busy Private Motor Yacht as owners were onboard majority of the season, they were very particular and incredibly set in their routines, we got to know them extremely well and were able to pre-empt their needs before they asked which was always greatly appreciated, provisioned daily at the local markets as guests only ate fresh produce and mainly Mediterranean cuisine, catered for 3 guests and 5 crew members, worked closely with the Stewardess as it was only the two of us running the interior.
