ANNABEL II Yacht Charter

Kerry comes from a long history in hospitality commencing many years ago as an airline
stewardess with an Australian carrier which led onto a position in Italy with Air Italia. Kerry has worked as a tour guide throughout Europe managing and co-coordinating up to 55 guests at one time. Kerry then took on the role of Food & Beverage Manager at a large Australian resort before opening ‘Primo E Secondo’ – a fine dining Italian restaurant with
her husband Robi in Noosa, Australia.

Kerry and Robi successfully ran their restaurant for 8 years before they received an offer too good to refuse and sold the business as a successful ongoing concept. In 2008 Kerry worked on DEBRA ONE, a 74ft Ferretti as sole stewardess and cook. This was a very
demanding role but nothing Kerry couldn’t handle. Kerry was one of the first crew ever onboard ANNABEL II when she was first launched in 2009. She has since worked aboard both private and charter yachts, ranging up to 32 metres and cruising globally.

Kelly has returned to Annabel II and the owner is delighted to have her back. She holds her STCW95, a recreational motor boat licence, senior first aid, silver service skills, wine service, bar skills, a good eye for detail and the ability to work under pressure. She is a non-smoker and when she is not enjoying good food and good company, she enjoys horse riding, gym, swimming, reading and learning about new destinations and people.

She speaks English fluently and conversational Italian.

Robi is a fully qualified chef who was born and trained in Italy. He has a huge range of experience running and working in restaurants, as well as aboard luxury yachts, having owned and operated fine dining Italian restaurants in Milan and Noosa, Australia with his wife Kerry.

Their successful restaurant ‘Primo E Secondo’ was awarded winner of the Italian ‘Golden Fork’ Award.

Whilst Robi is capable of preparing a wide range of international dishes, including Asian and Japanese, his specialty is the modern and classic Italian cuisine. Robi’s creations are not only tasty but also nutritious, and he is happy to provide nutritional consultancy for
guests and crew. He is also excellent at working to budgets to maximize your APA dollars!

Over the past few years, he has sailed aboard both, private and crewed yachts. A non-smoker , he holds a STCW95, a recreational motor boat licence.
