ANDIAMO

UK

Born and raised in West Yorkshire, England, Jonathan began his working life as a chef in some of the best establishments in the North of England and then in America. Hospitality and management are his two professional pleasures, and in 2006 he had the opportunity to combine these two passions and join a 30m superyacht as a chef. In 2009, Jonathan took his captain’s license and has been at the helm of vessels cruising the Mediterranean ever since. Jonathan loves to find those lesser-known anchorages and show guests places they’ve never seen before. He’s a big fan of Greece, particularly Corfu as a charter destination, and still enjoys liaising with the chef to secure fresh local produce. Aboard Andiamo, Jonathan thinks the sun deck is the yacht’s finest feature but also recommends an afternoon in the beach club.

Hilary trained as a chef in the late 90’s in Manchester, UK, and went on to study hotel management at Sheffield University. After running restaurants with her husband Jonathan, (Andiamo’s Captain) in North Carolina USA, they joined the superyacht industry together in 2006. Hilary has a keen interest in nutrition and enjoys exercise. She likes to create menus with a nutritional balance and cater to specific guest requirements. Hilary has come to have an expert knowledge of Mediterranean cuisine and where to get the best provisions. Whilst you’re onboard, Hilary recommends a cocktail or a coffee on the aft deck sofas – she thinks this is the most relaxing spot on the boat. Hilary and Jonathan live between Biot in the South of France and Yorkshire in England, as well as wherever the yacht takes them!

South Africa

Cameron’s yachting experience began during the summer of 2019. What was initially meant to be a gap year became a career when he fell in love with the industry and being on the water. South African-born Cameron says that Bonifacio is the most incredible place he’s visited to date, and he loves capturing drone footage of the destinations the boat visits and the boat itself. Cameron thrives in the fast-paced nature of the yachting industry and the camaraderie that comes with it.
