Chef Nicoleta Pascale brings over a decade of yachting and culinary experience to every VOYAGE Charters adventure. Originally from Bucharest, Romania, Nicoleta thrives on the challenge of working in an unconventional career, where her passion for the sea and love for creating memorable dining experiences come together seamlessly.
Specializing in Mediterranean cuisine and seafood dishes, Nicoleta crafts meals that delight the palate and nourish the soul. Her culinary expertise includes certifications in bread baking (NYC), Ashburton Culinary Training (UK), and a WSET Level 2 Wine and Food Certificate, all of which elevate the dining experience she provides. Whether cooking the “catch of the day” after a successful fishing trip or introducing guests to traditional Romanian dishes like grape leaf rolls, Nicoleta ensures every meal is a highlight of the journey.
Nicoleta’s warm personality—described as kind, patient, and outgoing—makes her a beloved part of the VOYAGE team. For her, working at sea feels like freedom, and the smiles of her guests bring her the greatest joy. She takes pride in her ability to make guests feel at home, often sharing signature cocktails like her lemongrass-infused Lime in da’ Coconut or a refreshing Passion Fruit Mojito to complement the vibrant atmosphere onboard.
One of Nicoleta’s most memorable experiences involved saving a guest during a scuba diving excursion by preventing a rapid ascent to the surface. Her quick thinking and attentiveness highlight her deep care for her guests, both in and out of the galley.
When she’s not creating culinary magic on board, Nicoleta enjoys pottery and sharing stories of her travels with guests, which often spark laughter and curiosity. One of her favorite spots in the BVI is anywhere where guests are enjoying themselves, and she’s always eager to contribute to their happiness and relaxation.
Nicoleta hopes her guests leave with memories of healthy and delicious meals, a newfound appreciation for international flavors, and the warmth of her hospitality. With her talent, care, and passion for bringing people together through food, Chef Nicoleta ensures that every charter is as unforgettable as the meals she prepares.
