Captain Francisco
Ahoy there! I'm a sailor with a serious case of wanderlust that seeks adventure on the high seas. I'm a Swiss Army Knife of the high seas. Over 12+ years, I've honed my skills on cruise ships, sailboats, motorboats, and tenders. I can handle boat systems with ease, keep things shipshape with
equipment knowledge, and even whip up some hospitality magic to ensure guests have an unforgettable experience. But hey, I'm not all work and no play. I'm easy-going who can add a dash of fun who is more than willing to teach you to sail while you're on board!
Another big extra is that I am a proven photojournalist with more than 15 years of experience so you would have some photos in the process of sailing and feel free to imagine me heroically fixing a tangled mess of lines with a smile (and maybe a sea shanty on my lips).

Best Spring Break ever. The food, the views, the ocean, the sailing. Truly the best trip of my life! Best crew! We love BVI. Rebecca
I had so much fun on this vacation! I love that we were always on the move to new, fun places and I would definitely come again! Thanks for the fun memories. Taylor
This was the best vacation ever! I loved exploring the islands and eating all those fancy foods! Both the captain and chef were really nice and this is another great memory. Travis
This trip was the best trip ever. Amazing food, funny stories and an amazing experience that will last a lifetime. Emily
Captain Francisco
Thank you for such an amazing experience on Motek. We felt so lucky to have such an easy-going, experienced captain. Thanks for teaching us how to sail too! You've left behind some amazing memories and lessons for us and I can't wait to come again. Even with a hurt leg, you managed to keep a smile on your face and ensure a great day. We wish you nothing but the best for your next year - but don't hesitate if you need crew - we will all come to assist!
Captain Francisco
Thank you for the amazing week! Best trip we have ever been on. You truly made the trip most enjoyable! I hope to sail with you again! Matt and Jenna
Captain Francisco
It's impossible to express our gratitude and appreciation for you and your knowledge and skills with words! Please know that your presence on our trip was impactful far beyond this week. The memories and experiences we all shared will stay with us for many years to com. We wish you the best in all your future endeavors on and off the water. Kevin and Veronica
5 Stars!
Captain Francisco was fantastic. He had great energy and enthusiasm and worked with us to nail down
the perfect itinerary - adjusting as necessary to wind conditions, etc. He was actually very knowledgeable and open to figuring out new spots. He was excellent.
The meals were absolutely outstanding. Literally every meal was perfect and Chef Romaine really
responded to the preference sheet and our input into the menu - which was greatly appreciated. All of us on board felt like Chef Romaine was one of, if not the, best chefs we've had in all of our trips.
We couldn't be more happy!
I had never done before a trip with a yacht before, but it exceded my expectations! Great crew, we felt safe and they took great care of us! Chef Romain made this trip a culinary experience too, he was ready to adapt to our likings and he offered to us a variety of high quality plates!
We couldn't be more happy!
"We had an amazing time on the with Francisco! He was an incredible host, making us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire day. We snorkeled, swam, and sunbathed at the beautiful Cap Blanc anchorage, and Francisco even prepared delicious Spanish snacks and drinks for us to enjoy. It was a perfect day! We highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Majorca Bay.” - Sam and Anna.
amazing food!
“I had an amazing time on our charter in Mallorca! We traveled from Palma towards Port Pollensa,
stopping in Port Andratx, Deià, Sóller, Cala Calobra, and many other beautiful places. The scenery
was breathtaking, the food was delicious, and we had so much fun snorkeling, swimming, and just
relaxing. Francisco was a great captain who made us feel safe at all times. I would highly
recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing charter experience “
This trip was a unique experience! Magical places ,excellent service and amazing food! The meals reflected the freshest ingredients, and they were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The chef took the time to get to know our dietary preferences and created an unforgettable culinary journey.
- Tom C.
Chef Romain was amazing!
Chef Romain was amazing! Not only did he create meals that were tailored to our tastes, but he also incorporated local flavors and fresh ingredients, making every dish feel unique. The attention to detail and the personalized service made our yacht experience unforgettable. Definitely the highlight of our trip!
"We had an amazing time on board! The food and snacks were delicious, and the wine and drinks
were top-notch. We had so much fun, we can't recommend it enough!” - Monique
Highly recommended!
We had the pleasure of having a private chef Romain onboard for our yacht charter, and it was nothing short of incredible! From the fresh seafood to the perfectly cooked steaks, every meal was a masterpiece. The chef tailored the menu to our preferences and even offered unique, locally-inspired dishes. The level of service was impeccable. Highly recommended!
Best Week Imaginable
Marlon and Angella treated us to the best week on Motek imaginable. Marlon always found the best balls, a great place to drop anchor (Marina Cay) and has local's knowledge and connections enabling him to avoid crowds or bad/choppy waters. The sailing was amazing! Angella is an incredible chef - each meal was amongst the best we'd ever have and both beautiful and delicious. Breakfast all included her fluffy and perfect scrambled eggs - so simple but still so amazing (how is it possible?) Lunches were light but delicious (poke bowls and pesto/burrata pitas topped the list) and dinners... such fantastic flavors in her thai cunystas, and her take on scampi was other worldly! This trip will be for for fantastic memories to last a lifetime. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. The Browns

The food was absolutely some of the best dishes we've ever had and it was all made from scratch! Captain Lon not only was excellent at sailing but also gave us history of the islands and made some delicious cocktails! The beaches and sunsets were ones we will never forget.

You've left behind some amazing memories and lessons for us and I can't wait to come again. Even with a hurt leg, you managed to keep a smile on your face and ensure a great day. We wish you nothing but the best for your next year - but don't hesitate if you need crew - we will all come to assist!

5 Stars!
Captain Francisco was fantastic. He had great energy and enthusiasm and worked with us to nail down
the perfect itinerary - adjusting as necessary to wind conditions, etc. He was actually very knowledgeable and open to figuring out new spots. He was excellent.
The meals were absolutely outstanding. Literally every meal was perfect and Chef Romaine really
responded to the preference sheet and our input into the menu - which was greatly appreciated. All of us on board felt like Chef Romaine was one of, if not the, best chefs we've had in all of our trips.
We couldn't be more happy!
I had never done before a trip with a yacht before, but it exceded my expectations! Great crew, we felt safe and they took great care of us! Chef Romain made this trip a culinary experience too, he was ready to adapt to our likings and he offered to us a variety of high quality plates!
We couldn't be more happy!
"We had an amazing time on the with Francisco! He was an incredible host, making us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire day. We snorkeled, swam, and sunbathed at the beautiful Cap Blanc anchorage, and Francisco even prepared delicious Spanish snacks and drinks for us to enjoy. It was a perfect day! We highly recommend Francisco to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Majorca Bay.” - Sam and Anna.
amazing food!
“I had an amazing time on our charter in Mallorca! We traveled from Palma towards Port Pollensa,
stopping in Port Andratx, Deià, Sóller, Cala Calobra, and many other beautiful places. The scenery
was breathtaking, the food was delicious, and we had so much fun snorkeling, swimming, and just
relaxing. Francisco was a great captain who made us feel safe at all times. I would highly
recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing charter experience “
This trip was a unique experience! Magical places ,excellent service and amazing food! The meals reflected the freshest ingredients, and they were beautifully presented and full of flavor. The chef took the time to get to know our dietary preferences and created an unforgettable culinary journey.

Chef Romain was amazing!
Chef Romain was amazing! Not only did he create meals that were tailored to our tastes, but he also incorporated local flavors and fresh ingredients, making every dish feel unique. The attention to detail and the personalized service made our yacht experience unforgettable. Definitely the highlight of our trip!
"We had an amazing time on board! The food and snacks were delicious, and the wine and drinks
were top-notch. We had so much fun, we can't recommend it enough!” - Monique
Highly recommended!
We had the pleasure of having a private chef Romain onboard for our yacht charter, and it was nothing short of incredible! From the fresh seafood to the perfectly cooked steaks, every meal was a masterpiece. The chef tailored the menu to our preferences and even offered unique, locally-inspired dishes. The level of service was impeccable. Highly recommended!
Best Week Imaginable
Marlon and Angella treated us to the best week on Motek imaginable. Marlon always found the best balls, a great place to drop anchor (Marina Cay) and has local's knowledge and connections enabling him to avoid crowds or bad/choppy waters. The sailing was amazing! Angella is an incredible chef - each meal was amongst the best we'd ever have and both beautiful and delicious. Breakfast all included her fluffy and perfect scrambled eggs - so simple but still so amazing (how is it possible?) Lunches were light but delicious (poke bowls and pesto/burrata pitas topped the list) and dinners... such fantastic flavors in her thai cunystas, and her take on scampi was other worldly! This trip will be for for fantastic memories to last a lifetime. Thanks from the bottom of our hearts. The Browns
