CHEF|Akın Ünal
I was born in 1994 in Tekirdag, Turkey. I graduated from Tekirdag Anatolian Vocational School of Tourism in the Department of Culinary Arts. I have been working professionally as a chef since 2009. In addition to working in international 5-star hotels and chain restaurants, I also continue my profession as a culinary instructor. In 2012, I won bronze at an international gastronomy festival, and in 2023 I received the honours award at the TYBA Boat Show. Since 2020, I have been working as a yacht chef. Cooking on the sea not only nourishes my soul but also turns the dishes I create into works of art inspired by the sea. For me, cooking is far beyond ordinary, it's an art. When I'm not cooking, I work as a yoga and breath instructor, which is my second profession. My hobbies include traveling, canoeing, and listening to music.
UMUT DOGAN / Deckhand
My name is Umut Doğan, and I was born on February 23, 2001. My passion for the sea began at the age of 11, during a sailing tour that deeply inspired me. Since then, I have been determined to pursue a career in the maritime industry. In 2015, I took my first step toward this dream by enrolling in a maritime high school, from which I graduated in 2019.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work on various gulets and motor yachts, where I gained valuable hands-on experience and developed a strong understanding of life at sea. These experiences not only strengthened my technical skills but also fueled my love for the maritime world. Swimming, exploring, and engaging in water sports are integral parts of my life, and I enjoy every moment spent on or around the sea.
My ultimate goal is to become a captain. I am highly motivated, eager to learn, and fully committed to developing myself both professionally and personally to achieve this dream. I believe that with the right guidance and opportunities, I can grow into a reliable and competent seafarer.
