Captain Giorgio
Hello everyone!
My name is Giorgio, but everyone has always called me Gegio. I was born and raised in Turin (Italy), a city more famous for Fiat cars than for the sea, but my desire to explore led me toward completely diff erent horizons.
After fi nishing my university studies, I embarked on an adventure in Australia, where, for the fi rst time, I boarded a sailboat as a passenger. That experience had a profound impact on me, and once I disembarked, I made myself a promise: one day, I would become a skipper.
Today, years later, here I am, living and working in the paradises of the Caribbean, sailing between the U.S. and British Virgin Islands.
I love exploring new horizons with my guests, sharing not just the route but also unforgettable experiences and moments. What gratifi es me the most is seeing the connection that forms on board when we all become a team, helping each other and showing the best sides of ourselves.
When I see the joy in my guests’ eyes and know I’ve contributed, even just a little, to creating those memories, I can say I’ve done a good job and made their vacation special. That’s what makes me happy and makes me feel free.

After years of hosting little dinner parties for friends and family during her time at University in Germany and a career in Optometry, she decided to trade the ‘normal’ for a life on the water.
Over the years, she’s had the opportunity to cook and cater on sailing yachts in the most beautiful places, ranging from private charters to week-long sailing events across the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Her culinary approach and love for mediterranean cuisine focuses on healthy, fresh and locally sourced ingredients. She’s adapting to the preferences and diverse dietary needs of her guests with ease, while also drawing inspiration from her

When she’s not sailing, Marielle travels around the globe (with sometimes only a backpack), where she continues to be inspired by the different cultures & local food scenes. She can’t wait to welcome you on board Walk’n on Sunshine and make you feel right at home.
