Mila Bertassoni
CAPTAIN BIO
Born in Plettenberg Bay along the coast of South Africa Caydon grew up in a small town. His first year out of high school he spent in Australia working abroad.
It was there that he was introduced to yachting, coming onboard as a guest. He quickly fell in love with the concept and when he returned home he began his sailing courses and has been working on the water ever since.
Since then he has worked for several sailing schools and has been an instructor for both power and sailing vessels. He spent last season in Croatia working for Yachtweek where he fell in love with chartering and the experience of sailing with guests from all over the world. It was there that he was able to evolve his love of being on the water from teaching to accommodating and entertaining guests and showing them just how magnificent our sea landscape can be. He looks forward to continuing to share his love of sailing with others in the Caribbean.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, amidst natural and sunny landscapes, Mila and the sea have a lifetime relationship. As a worldwide traveler, exploring new places and cultures are key to Mila, as studying and learning different subjects. Over 10 years ago, at Palma de Mallorca, Spain, was Mila's first encounter with yachting.

She has a very diverse set of past work experiences: from a communication and marketing analyst, to handling and caring for pumas and jaguars in the Bolivian jungle, starting her own sustainability company, and becoming a yacht chef.
In 2022, in love with being a yacht chef, she took professional cooking classes at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Sydney, and vegan cooking classes in Rio. She is passionate about vegan cooking and loves being able to provide vegan options for her guests!
