MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: Norick Wendel
CHEF/FIRST MATE: Elouise Stone
Norick grew up in a boating-loving family where holidays were always about bringing friends along and sharing the beauty of bays, islands and rivers. He naturally found his passion for the water from an early age, earning his first boating licence at just 16. Water skiing was also a central part of family holidays and remains a fond part of his connection to life on the water.
His career began in the luxury hospitality industry, where he gained extensive experience aboard small five-star-plus luxury and expedition cruise ships. As a skipper of the expedition boats, Norick had the opportunity to personally take guests into some of the world’s most extraordinary and remote destinations, including Papua New Guinea, Antarctica and the Amazon, creating memorable experiences along the way.
Today, Norick is an RYA Yachtmaster Offshore Skipper and has spent the last three Mediterranean seasons working aboard sailing yachts and catamarans. Combining his passion for the water with his strong hospitality background, he enjoys creating an atmosphere where guests feel relaxed, welcomed and part of the experience.
Growing up, Norick’s family was always a place where people shared, laughed and welcomed others with open arms. It is a philosophy he carries with him today - to share great experiences, create lasting memories and make everyone feel at home on board.
Ellie’s love for the sea began at 22, when she moved to Australia and started working aboard commercial and research vessels on the Great Barrier Reef. After six months of chartering, she travelled through Asia, chasing the snow and discovering new cultures, flavours and recipes along the way.
Before long, she found herself missing the salty air and life on the water, bringing her back to the Mediterranean. She began chartering in Croatia and Greece, developing her passion for food and hospitality as a professional yacht chef aboard luxury catamarans and monohulls.
With a love for adventure, travel and creating memorable experiences through food, Ellie is excited to bring her energy, creativity and culinary passion to the Libra family for the season ahead.
