MEET YOUR CREW:
CAPTAIN: Bogdan (Bibo) Buse
CHEF: Gabriela August
STEW/DECK HAND: TBD


Bogdan, better known as Bibo, grew up in Romania and spent six years serving as an officer in the Romanian Armed Forces. That experience shaped his calm, steady approach, strong leadership skills, and ability to stay cool under pressure - all qualities that serve him well as a captain.

In 2021, Bibo made the move into sailing and quickly fell in love with life on the water. Since then, he’s sailed extensively around the Mediterranean, drawn to its stunning coastlines, hidden anchorages, and the simple freedom of being at sea. Over the past three years, he’s worked full-time in the charter world, completing multiple seasons as a professional captain on sailing and motor yachts.

Beyond captaining, Bibo has been hands-on with every side of yacht operations - from deliveries across the Med to charter turnarounds, base operations, and shipyard refits. This has given him solid technical knowledge and a practical, solutions-focused mindset that keeps the yacht running smoothly and guests worry-free.

Onboard, Bibo is known for his calm presence and easygoing nature. He creates an atmosphere where guests feel relaxed and at home - whether that’s enjoying a quiet swim in a secluded bay, cruising along a scenic coastline, or taking a spontaneous detour that becomes the highlight of the trip.

Gabriela has been working as a professional yacht chef since the summer of 2024 and absolutely loves what she does. She’s all about creating memorable onboard experiences through fresh, flavorful food and warm, attentive hospitality.
Since going full-time at sea, she’s worked on both private and charter yachts throughout the Mediterranean and has completed over 40 charters across the 2024/2025 seasons. The experience has only deepened her passion for sailing, cooking, and hosting guests.

She’s dedicated, adaptable, and thrives in the ever-changing rhythm of charter life. Whether it’s catering to dietary preferences or keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, Gabriela takes pride in making every guest feel relaxed, cared for, and completely at home onboard.

Together, Gabriela and Bibo share a love for adventure and exploration. They balance fun with professionalism and attention to detail, making sure each charter feels effortless, seamless, and unforgettable.

They can’t wait to welcome you aboard and show you these incredible islands and all the fun that comes with them.
