LA SIRENA - CREW BIO
 

Pedro hails from the beautiful coastal town of Benidorm in southeast Spain, where the sea meets the mountains. Growing up, he was all about adventure—whether it was kayaking, fishing, hiking, farming, or even beekeeping, He embraced it all!
After earning his bachelor’s degree in Marketing and Market Research, he set off to chase his travel dreams. Pedro has explored the breathtaking trans-Siberian route, wandered through Mongolia, soaked up the sun in Australia, and even hitchhiked along the legendary Silk Road. It was during this incredible journey that he discovered a deep passion for sailing, especially after his first thrilling Atlantic crossing.

Following that initial adventure, Pedro dove headfirst into the world of sailing and diving. He started working on sailing boats and gained valuable experience in tender driving. The combination of hospitality and life on the water truly captivated him, and he is always
always looking to sharpen hiss skills to provide the best service possible. Not to mention he whips up a mean paella once a week. Cooking is another passion of his!

Everything is possible as long as it’s safe is one of Pedro's personal mottos. He is always up for a new challenge and dreams of owning a sailing yacht to make his home one day!

Cova is a proud native of Málaga in southern Spain with a deep-rooted passion for the ocean. Her love for the sea led her to embrace a life filled with adventure, discovery and the pursuit of culinary excellence. Since 2018, Cova has been fully immersed in a variety of ocean-centric passions—surfing, fishing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and of course, cooking.

Cooking has been in her blood since childhood, inspired by the rich Mediterranean flavors and the timeless recipes passed down from her grandmother and mother. She aims to keep their culinary traditions alive by adding her own touch to the vibrant and flavorful Mediterranean
cuisine she serves on board.

Though her academic background includes a Bachelor's in Social Sciences and a Master’s in Governance, in 2022, she embarked on her sailing journey and hasn’t looked back. Over the course of 8 exhilarating months, she has sailed from Grenada to the Bahamas, refining her seamanship and deepening her connection with the sea. Cova has also worked as a stew/deckhand in Saint Tropez and successfully crossed the Atlantic in December 2023—an unforgettable adventure that further fueled her passion for the oceanic lifestyle.

Cova's journey is far from over. She is currently honing her sailing skills, aiming to become a certified Yachtmaster. Every day on the water is a chance to learn, grow and savor the freedom that the ocean offers.
