Zina Lynkova<\/h2>

Chef & First Mate<\/h4><\/div><\/div>\t
\n\t\tBritish-born physics graduate, Sam, has worked as a full-time captain for more than a decade, accumulating thousands of miles at sea, including a transatlantic passage. He is committed to ensuring the highest level of safety, service and fun for every guest. As soon as you step on board he will help you to feel relaxed and at home. His long list of interests include BBQing, making cocktails, stargazing & talking about how stuff works (his former life was spent teaching kids in London). For fitness he enjoys water sports, especially diving & anything with a sail. Sometimes he pays the guitar, quite badly, so better not to ask him for a song.
\n
\nChef Zina is Ukrainian and grew up in the seaside town of Yalta in Crimea. She worked in the hotel business from a young age and lived in Italy before meeting Sam and then training as a yacht chef in France, England and Thailand. Guests love Zina\u2019s kindness and her prowess in the galley, where she consistently produces beautiful and delicious meals. Her other interests include music, dancing, swimming & diving.
\n
\nSam and Zina met on holiday where they spent long romantic days alone on the beach, dreaming of a life together in the sun. They married almost immediately on Little Bay Beach, Anguilla, and hatched a plan to work together in their dream job, which they call \u201crunning a floating 5-star hotel in paradise\u201d. They have been sailing professionally side-by-side, full-time for eight years, all over the eastern Caribbean, across the Atlantic and around much of the Mediterranean. They consider themselves very lucky to be living in beautiful places, sharing their happiness, excellent food and a good vibes with their guests.
