Stewardess: Sasha Kadun
Sasha grew up in Canada on the West Coast and discovered from an early age that exploring and being near the water is what makes her happy. She finds the ocean to be a place where calm and chaos work so perfectly in unison. Having always traveled with her family - whether camping local or visiting Mexico, she realized she wanted to explore the world. Therefore, the decision to move abroad 8 years ago wasn’t a hard one. With a solid background in high end hospitality and working as an executive assistant, she moved to Belgium with her best friend and managed a cafe that allowed her to explore other parts of Europe in her time off. She then moved on to live in the Cayman Islands, as well as spending a year backpacking in South America. She has a passion for health and fitness and is a certified Yoga Instructor. She began her yachting career on large Luxury motor yachts before she joined the life of the sailing boats and has not looked back. Always radiant and cheerful, she will delight you with her laughter and her incredible service. Sasha looks forward to welcoming guests with a tasty cocktail on arrival and an unforgettable sailing experience.
