Esme is one of our Cooks and joined Bark Europa in the spring of 2025 in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
Previous ships/experience sailing boats:
I have been cooking at sea on tall ships for the past 7 years.
I have worked on STS Lord Nelson, STS Tenacious with the Jubilee Sailing Trust and Leader with Trinity Sailing, all of which were charity organizations supporting disabled and young people at sea. Furthermore, I have also worked on charter tall ships, Blue Clipper and Eye of the Wind, where I worked for 3.5 years. I have had the pleasure of sailing in the Arctic both to and around Svalbard, crossed the Atlantic 4 times and have sailed extensively in the Baltic and Caribbean Sea.
Hobby’s:
I love the sea, swimming, snorkeling and have just recently learnt to dive. I like the frozen stuff too and love to snowboard. On land, I enjoy playing tennis. I am a huge music fan previously having worked in radio production. I love visiting new paces and meeting new people.
