SHANGRA

An expert crew of 3 is available on board to provide an unparalleled service.

Captain: Fabio Alessandrini, Italian, 53 y.o.

Fabio's adventure begins at the age of twenty, when he embarked for the first time as a skipper on board a private yacht, an experience that makes him discover how his great passion, the sea, could really become a career. After a period spent as a Base Manager of a charter company, Fabio soon got back at sea as a Captain aboard several private and charter yachts, exploring much of the Mediterranean and beyond.
Divemaster for pleasure, his knowledge of the sea is comparable only to that of gastronomy, another of his great talents, that he decided to cultivate by opening an Italian restaurant in Brazil. Fabio loves cooking for guests aboard using a variety of ingredients to create a varied menu with cooking techniques learnt from different locations around the world.
Determined, precise and professional, Fabio masters great mechanical and hydraulic skills and keeping the yacht in perfect condition is among his priorities as Captain.
