Ali’s love affair with the sea began in his childhood, growing up on the west coast of Turkey. Welcomed into the industry by older family members, he started working in the shipyards close to his village. His talents were quickly recognised and by his mid-twenties, he led a team of engineers implementing a wide range of tasks on some of the world's finest megayachts.

Having overseen a complete refit of all mechanical systems aboard Jura II, including rebuilding her original Scottish engines to perfect condition, he decided to expand his horizons still further and joined the Ship as Chief Engineer. With Ali in command of the engine room, guests can be assured there will be no surprises and nothing will disturb their vacation. Also, for those interested, he will be delighted to offer guests a tour of his pristine domain in the Engine Room.

In 2023 Jura II spent the winter in La Coruna, Spain. While there, the owners discovered many wonderful restaurants in the city. Returning to one in particular which they had enjoyed, they met the owner and chef, Jacobo. In conversation, Jacobo confessed a desire to go to sea as a Chef aboard a private yacht. Two months later Jacobo was aboard Jura II!

Running his own successful restaurant in La Coruna, where the standard of cuisine is extremely high, he developed a true passion for food preparation. He loves different cuisines from around the world and will delight you with his international cuisine, from Spanish Paella to Thailand Pad Thai. His greatest satisfaction is when guests come to the galley to tell him how happy they are with the food he has presented. If you see him jumping off the boat as soon as we touch land, be assured he is off to the local market to find something fresh and delicious for us all to enjoy.
