SEA WISH CREW PROFILE

CAPTAIN ROSARIO AGOSTI Captain Rosario Agosti, Italian, 61 years old. He has been Captain on SEA WISH since 2012. Now into his 38th year as a yacht captain, Rosario brings to SEA WISH a wealth of knowledge and experience along with a professional attitude and meticulous eye for detail. Rosario started his maritime career in 1978 and he built excellent skills during the years by working in the industry at 360 degrees. In the early days, he worked on sailing yachts attending several regattas (such as the Whitbread Round the World race) and some Atlantic crossings too and has since owned a sailing school where he was the instructor. In the mid-80s he took the command of the charter sailing yacht Red Scorpion first and the displacement motor yacht Neapolis later, cruising around the Mediterranean and the south of Italy in particular. In the 90s he sailed the Caribbean for a few years both on private and charter sailing yachts. Back in the Mediterranean in the early 2000s, he took the command of some of the industry s well known yachts such as the charter Goulet Monna Lisa, Odyssey, Misty and the Benetti 30 Beyond the Clouds recently. His long experience in the yachting industry allowed him to improve his technical and mechanical knowledge so that Rosario now brings a high level of skill and ability to the engineering department and is able to troubleshoot most of the issues which might present themselves. Rosario has an excellent knowledge of the Mediterranean, and can be relied upon to find the best anchorages, ports and cruising grounds to suit all requests. Safety, fun and relaxation are some of the words that best sum up Rosario, all the time providing a first-class service. His priority is to provide guests with a pleasurable and memorable trip, each wish catered for and every detail covered. Rosario is mother tongue Italian and speaks fluent English and fluent Spanish.

CHEF GERRY ORIENTE Chef Jerry Oriente was born in 1977 in Brooklyn (district of New York) from an American father and a Neapolitan mother. At 18 he completed his education at a Hotel and Restaurant School, and started to work in Naples for several restaurants and also helping out with her sister s Italian restaurant in Copenhagen and his brother s Italian restaurant in Cambridge. In 2009 up until 2016 he has worked onboard drill ships (a marine vessel that's been modified to drill oil and gas wells) where he worked his way up to become the head chef of the ship s canteen which serviced 150 crew members of any nationality on a 24/7 basis, heading half a dozen assistant cooks. In 2017, Chef Jerry suffered an accident which would not allow him to return to work offshore. Therefore, he started working for a restaurant in Torre del Greco where the Owner of SEA WISH happened to dine and ordered his locally renown Ziti con Astice and fell in love with this dish but also with Jerry s cooking style which is solid, traditional, colourful, Neapolitan food. Therefore, the Owner decided to woo Jerry onboard SEA WISH for his own and the enjoyment of the charter guests. Jerry also fairs well with homemade bread, fresh pasta and both savoury and sweet pastries. In his spare time, Jerry likes to follow the soccer team of his heart (the Napoli team, of course!) and goes to fish at night with his local friends. Jerry is mother tongue Italian but also has a good working knowledge of English and some Danish.
