MEET YOUR CREW:
Captain: Per Pertoft
Chef: Ashley Van Rosmalen
From a young age, Per developed a deep passion for the ocean, spending vacations by the Swedish coastline where he learned to sail and race dinghies. He expanded his love for watersports to include kitesurfing and surfing. Over the past 15 years, he has owned and sailed a sailboat around southern Sweden, continuously honing his skills and deepening his connection to the sea.
After earning degrees in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, as well as Economics, Per transformed his oceanic passion into a career. He began as a kitesurfing instructor before moving into the maritime charter and delivery industry, amassing valuable experience. His career spans various roles within yacht sailing, from competitive sailing in his youth to managing private and flotilla charters. He has worked on flotilla charters with more than 80 vessels, handling guest management, overseeing skippers, providing flotilla instructions, planning routes, and stepping into leadership roles as a lead skipper.
In addition to his maritime pursuits, Per is a professional kite instructor with extensive experience as a Kitesurf and Wing foil instructor. His hospitality experience includes bartending, where he refined his mixology skills. Per is fluent in Swedish, German, and English, with proficiency in French and Spanish.
At 29 years old, he brings a wealth of experience and a strong background as a yacht captain, eager to contribute to exceptional guest experiences and operational excellence.
Born and raised in Australia, Ashley brings a wealth of cheffing experience and passion to the team. As most Australians are, she thrives being on the ocean and feels right at home on a yacht. Despite a background working for Mazda in finance and business management, Ashley discovered her true calling, during a yacht charter in Greece. She transitioned from being a finance broker to the yachting world, working alongside Per in Greece and Croatia, and has never looked back.
Ashley has earned a perfect guest rating over the past few years, a testament to her dedication to providing outstanding service and unforgettable culinary experiences.
