food grown in the garden or sourced from the farm. Developing a love for travel at a young age,
she has been exploring the world and incorporating new cuisine into her cooking for 15 years.

sea.

months in Italy studying abroad and learning Italian cooking. At 24 she moved to New York
City and attended design school at FIT, while managing a coffee shop. She designed a small line
of cocktail and party dresses before opening her own vintage clothing business online. After
living and working in Seattle for 7 years, she felt the call to explore more of the world.
Charli began cooking on sail boats 5 years ago, beginning with small private charters in the
Mediterranean. She has worked and sailed in Croatia, Montenegro, Mykonos, the Dodecanese,
Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Bahamas, the San Juan Islands, and the Virgin Islands. While her
favorite cuisines are modern, healthy Southern and Italian, she has had extensive experience
cooking for specialized diets including gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, keto/paleo. She is always
happy to work with guests and provide customized menus.
