More detail on Captain Karlo and Chef Sara coming soon!

Stew Ella is a highly motivated and personable steward, with a lifelong passion for watersports and over a decade of experience in high-end hospitality. With a background in elite client service, including her time working with a Royal Charter Ballet Company, Ella is dedicated to delivering an exceptional standard of service and going above and beyond to create unforgettable memories for guests.

Prior to joining The Moorings, Ella worked aboard a private motor yacht in the Mediterranean as a sole deckhand, stewardess, and nanny. She also sailed in Northern France and was part of the delivery crew for a 1937 sailing ketch to its new berth—an experience that deepened her love for life at sea.

A competitive rower since the age of 13, Ella brings her athletic spirit and enthusiasm to every charter. Her creativity, good humour, and professionalism shine through in everything she does, whether suggesting exciting excursions or crafting memorable moments for guests on board.

With a strong background in hospitality—including managing restaurants, acting as a brand ambassador, and leading service at weddings and festivals—Ella thrives in customer-facing roles. Her signature cocktails, the refreshing Limoncello Spritz and the classic English Bramble, are always a hit with guests, adding an extra touch of indulgence to their charter experience.

*If unforeseen circumstances prevent this crew from hosting your charter, another competent crew will substitute.
*A Moorings 5800 will be crewed by a professional captain and gourmet chef. For charters with more than 8 guests, an additional steward/ess may be provided however this is subject to availability.
