Captain Martin Liscinsky & Chef Tamara Chepel
Martin Liscinsky
Martin has been a yacht captain for the past 8 years. He has sailed the Mediterranean and Caribbean islands but has found a base in the BVI for the past four years. Originally from Slovakia, Martin has always had a passion for adventure, sports and the great outdoors. He grew up mountain biking, white water rafting, climbing and would try any other sport he could involve himself in. Martin was introduced to sailing aged 13 while in Croatia - he was totally hooked on the sport and lifestyle. Martin moved to the UK aged 18 to begin a career as a chef which took him all over Europe. He worked in high class fine dining restaurants and enjoyed the creativity and travel associated with being a chef. Despite enjoying his cheffing career, Martins heart was still dreaming about being on the sea. He moved to Croatia to join the yachting industry in 2017. Being a Captain fulfilled everything he could dream of: freedom, traveling, outdoors and still bit of cooking, especially when the steaks are on the grill!
Tamara Chepel
Originally from Australia, Tamara was brought up in the city of Sydney. Prior to finding yachting Tamara enjoyed a career as an Occupational Therapist in Sydney and London. Tamara met Martin in 2018 and was introduced to the sailing world - she never looked back! She has since completed cooking schools at Ashburton in the UK and the Sydney Cooking School. She has a passion for culture, travel, the ocean and bringing people together through food. Tamara is a PADI diver and in her spare time loves nothing more than to explore underwater. Tamara has a love for farm to table cooking and believes that that good food is the key to a good time!
Tamara and Martin met in Croatia in 2018. They quickly realized that despite being from different sides of the world they shared the same love for travel, sailing, experiencing different cultures, the ocean and being around family and friends. They backpacked Asia for seven months then returned to the Mediterranean where they worked on sailing yachts in Greece, Croatia, Italy, Turkey and Montenegro. After two seasons of enjoying the Mediterranean they set off to the Caribbean where they have worked in the British Virgin Islands and surrounding Caribbean countries including St Martin, Anguilla and Antigua. They have called the BVI home for the past four years.
Time spent with Tamara and Martin on True Story will follow the philosophy that a perfect charter includes sailing, exploring, adventure, relaxing and truly taking the time to experience the islands in the way which suits their guests. They create a relaxed and welcoming and safe environment, aiming to make the charter personalized to each guests needs. Tamara and Martin have a passion for underwater life and believe the world below is one of the best things about the BVI! They are personable and accommodating and have a true passion and interest in people, adventure, and sailing and love nothing more than to share this with their guests. Their shared love of food and culture means they are excited to include the best local produce and create delicious wholesome meals for their guests! Together this energetic couple is looking forward to the next chapter of True Story, and can not wait to welcome you aboard!
