CHEF
Liza Teer Meer
Nation: Netherlands
Born: 1990
License: Culinary
Rubrio is a friendly professional captain who has been sailing for as long as he can remember. Being born on the beautiful island of Madeira, Portugal in a family of sailors, he has been on the water for most of his life. His career started in his teenage years as a sailing instructor while getting his Management and Logistics degree at the University of Portugal. He soon grew into a professional racing athlete, and sailed in several classes including the world championships and the 2012 Olympic campaign for Portugal. He has over 20 years of experience in the charter business and is passionate about providing guests with the holiday of their lives, which comes naturally to him.
Liza’s love for sailing started at a young age, spending summers on her parents’ sailboat in the Netherlands where she was born and raised. With her two brothers, she spent much of her free time doing adventure sports, either on the water or mountain climbing. Throughout her student years in Amsterdam and Greece, she worked in various hospitality jobs. After a 10 year corporate career, she decided to change course and jump on a boat to cross the Atlantic, where she worked as a crew chef. This is when Liza not only fell in love with the Virgin Islands but also where she learned how much she loves creating memorable experiences through her food. She is a true believer that the way to people’s hearts is through their stomachs.
Rubrio and Liza met on Rubrio’s home island of Madeira. They soon realized they share the same passion for adventure, sailing, watersports, travelling and the ocean. Liza joined Rubrio on an Atlantic crossing and they worked one season in the Mediterranean on sailing yachts in Croatia, Spain, Italy and Montenegro. After that, they chartered in the British Virgin Islands together for a year.
Rubrio and Liza love to make their guests feel like home on True Story. This means a holiday tailored to your needs, whether your dream trip consists of exploring remote bays, barhopping at world famous bars, watersports, or anywhere in between, Rubrio and Liza got you covered! They love sharing their passion for food with their guests and are excited to introduce you to the best local produce and delicious homemade meals - a true gastronomic experience. They are looking forward to their next chapter on True Story and can not wait to welcome you aboard!

Can't Say Enough!
You both...I can't say enough good things about the both of you. While I very much enjoyed the activities, it was the nights spent talking with you both that I sincerely loved!
Thank you for your sense of humor, patience (mom forgetting her shoes) and genuine enthusiasm for EVERYTHING!
The love you share for each other overflows into everything about this trip. :)
Thanks a million.

We Can't Wait To Come Back
What a great trip! Ya'll were the best crew ever. Food was great and the hospitality even better. We can't wait to come back for another trip on True Story.

Just Relax and Enjoy
Thank you for a truly amazing week on True Story! It's been perfect in every way...fun relaxing, and great food!!!
You have thought of everything - all we had to do was relax and enjoy!
As you know our True Story trip almost didn't happen as our oldest daughter and her husband cancelled for a great reason. Now we all can't wait to come back to stay with you on True Story next year with all the family including the blessing of a new baby granddaughter too!
Thank you Jaco and Simone for a truly wonderful and memorable week!
Unforgettable Trip
Thank you so much for such a memorable Christmas vacation! The food was outstanding and I can't pick which meal was my favorite. You took us to some beautiful places and we can't wait to visit again! Thank you for introducing Ryan to "new" fruits and vegetables and fixing Wang after we broker him :) This was an unforgettable trip and it wouldn't have been possible without the two of you!

It was incredible!
What a wonderful experience. Your smile, knowledge and enthusiasm made our trip an adventure. We enjoyed your choice of locations and nightly coves. We looked forward to each meal for its variety, multicultural taste and freshness, not to mention the presentation.
The cocktails were never ending! We have done these trips before but never with such a great crew. We hope to see you again on our next cruise.
