Meet Chef Julia 👩🏽🍳
Coming across the seas from the inner city of Sydney, Australia – I grew up baking alongside my mother and grandmother learning the home classics and passed down family recipes. After a challenging few years working as paediatric nurse during the global pandemic, I took the opportunity of the world opening back up to explore the world, tasting culinary delights in many parts of Asia and Europe before landing myself in Croatia as a Chef onboard flotilla charter yachts this past European summer. This experience ignited a flame for me to chase my dream of working as a chef on the water full-time.
I come from a strong hospitality background working in several established venues in Sydney both behind the bar and front of house. I have completed a number of short culinary courses with Le Cordon Bleu and the Australian Patisserie Academy and am so passionate about delivering delicious food and a unique hospitality experience.
Outside of cooking up a storm, there is nothing more relaxing to me than perching in the sun with a good book or finding new walks along the coastlines around the world. Coming from a large family, bringing people together around a table to enjoy a meal and share stories is one of life’s greatest moments in my eyes and I cannot wait to welcome you onboard and share this with you all.
I am very excited to be joining captain Andrew onboard Buena Vida for my first season in The Bahamas ☀️
