CHEF: Rose-Marie (Romy) Hunt – British
Joined Spring 2019
Romy joined yachting as a skilled beauty therapist and masseuse, and before long found herself in a sole stewardess role, while accumulating several thousands of nautical miles.
In her 8 years in the industry, she has crossed the Atlantic Ocean several times and experienced cruising the Caribbean and the Mediterranean including Greece and Turkey. The transition from stewardess to chef followed the completion of a course at The Ashburton Chefs Academy and she found the new challenge fitted well with her confident and energetic character.

Romy’s interests include yoga, reading, swimming, photography ..oh and food!!
