Meet the Crew
  • Gustavo Ferolla Gustavo Ferolla Captain
  • Leticia Aiache Leticia Aiache Chef/First Mate

With over 15,000 nautical miles sailed across the Brazilian coast, Caribbean, Bahamas and the Mediterranean, Gustavo brings extensive experience and a genuine passion for life at sea.

After years living aboard his own sailboat and working in yacht deliveries and luxury charters, he developed a calm, confident approach to navigation and guest experience. Whether planning the perfect itinerary, finding secluded anchorages, or ensuring smooth and safe passages, his priority is for guests to feel completely relaxed and cared for throughout their journey.

Passionate about sailing, weather, and seamanship, Gustavo enjoys sharing his knowledge of the ocean while creating memorable days on the water. His professional yet easygoing nature helps guests feel at home from the moment they step onboard.

Born and raised in Brazil, Letícia found her true calling where her two greatest passions meet: the sea and food.
After building a successful career as a Dietitian, she followed her passion for the ocean, moving aboard her 31-foot sailboat, Blue. Living at sea transformed her lifestyle and naturally led her to larger projects, where she could combine her love for sailing, hospitality, and creating meaningful experiences around the table.

Today, as your onboard chef, Letícia brings together her nutritional background to create fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented meals inspired by local ingredients and the flavours of each destination.

Her philosophy is simple: every meal should become a memorable part of your journey — whether it’s a relaxed breakfast at anchor, a leisurely lunch after a swim, or a special dinner under the stars. She believes great food has the power to bring people together and become one of the highlights of an unforgettable charter.

Thank you for both your kindness and your hard work.

May your love last a lifetime!

Dear Gustavo and Lele,

Thank you so very much for a wonderful trip. Our voyage was extremely fun, safe and enjoyable. You were always there to help us “newbies”, never feel silly or stupid. Our trip was extra special  because you both!Thank you, again, for taking such a good care of us!

Susan & John

We found Lele and Gustavo a delight and a joy the moment we met them.
Their teamwork is a combination of enthusiasm, kindness, humor, sailing and culinary knowledge and it's genuine and contagious.
It was a delight to watch them create an atmosphere that was filled with laughter and adventure. All done with a perfect blend of safety and professionalism while anticipating and delivering what was expected or needed to make sure that their guests had a pleasant and memorable experience.
Over the last 25 years we have sailed on many charters with many fine crews, but in comparison we will state: Unequivocally, that Lele and Gustavo are at the top of "The Mast":):):). They are the best. We look forward to sailing with them again.
Joe and Patsy
