Meet Your Crew
Yachting isn't just a career for Pepijn; it's a lifelong calling. Over the years, he has collected numerous advanced sailing licenses and maritime certifications, turning his deep-seated passion into a professional career. During his university years, he spent his summers skippering across the beautiful Mediterranean Sea, exploring Europe’s coastlines, and honing his skills in high-end hospitality.
After finishing university, Pepijn soon realized that a traditional desk job could never compete with the freedom of the open ocean. He chose to follow his heart and fully dedicate himself to the yachting industry, where he has since built a strong reputation for delivering safe, exceptional, and tailored charter experiences.
As the Captain of Aurora, Pepijn is excited to share his passion for the sea with his guests. He looks forward to welcoming you on board and ensuring a stress-free, unforgettable adventure on the water.
Nicole has also been sailing since she was a child. Growing up, she spent countless hours on the water with family and friends, and quickly became the go-to person for creating delicious meals onboard. This passion for cooking at sea led her to spend any amount of spare time she had in recent years sailing throughout the Mediterranean, further developing her culinary skills in a professional yachting environment.
After several years working as a chef on board sailing yachts with Pepijn, including the past seasons in the British Virgin Islands, Nicole has developed a strong sense for what makes dining on board truly special. From relaxed breakfasts to long evenings around the table, she enjoys tailoring each experience to her guests. As the Chef of Aurora, she is excited to share her love for food, hospitality, and life at sea.
