4 Play - Crewed Motor Yacht Charter

Captain: Rodolfo Gonzalez

Growing up in Havana Cuba, I was surrounded by the sea and from a very young age would visit merchant ships with my uncle who worked on them. This is where my passion for boats was born. After high school, I joined the Cuban Naval Academy for 5 years and graduated as Navigator Engineer in nautical routes. Shortly after, I worked for many years in the Merchant Marine Sea going around the world on container ships and tanker ships in the oil industry working my way up to Captain.

I came to the US in 2006 and continued enjoying my commercial boating career. In 2012, I began captaining yachts and although it was a huge change for me, I haven’t looked back since. I have had the pleasure of being the Captain on yachts from 40 to 150 feet, but what I cherish most is seeing the joy in charter guests´ eyes. Dedication to our guests´ needs and providing exceptional service on all levels is something I take huge pride in. Plus being able to share in the special memories guests create on my yachts, is a gift I am grateful for.

As your Captain, I strive for myself and my crew to provide you with an unforgettable experience that exceeds your expectations and allows you and your guests to relax, have fun and create cherished memories all while keeping you safe. I hold a Master of Unlimited Tonnage Boats with ocean endorsements. I can’t wait to welcome you aboard!

In my free time, I look forward to and enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife, children and extended family on the beach or in mountainous country places while unplugging from technology.

Mate: Cristian Orozco

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, my passion for being out on the water began on Fisher Island, where my exceptional service as a private bartender caught the attention of a yacht owner. After a year of dedicated service, I was invited to become a mate on his yacht, embarking on adventures across the Bahamas and up the East Coast, visiting Boston, New Jersey, and Maine.

Following this invaluable experience, I transitioned to a yacht brokerage, where I managed multiple center consoles and yachts. This role allowed me to deepen my knowledge of the yachting industry, honing my skills in yacht management and customer service.

In addition to my full-time work, I assisted in the operation of speed boat charters in Miami, welcoming guests to the area and ensuring they have an unforgettable experience on the water. Additionally, I am passionate about water sports and extensively knowledgeable with Jet Skis and water toys. Assisting our guests in using the plethora of toys on board 4Play is something I truly enjoy.

I joined 4Play in December of 2023 and one of my favorite aspects is the familial atmosphere and the incredible adventures I´ve had traveling and meeting people from around the world while seeing the joy they experience. I look forward to continuing to create memorable and exceptional experiences for all our future charter guests.

On my days off, I enjoy beach outings and spending time with my family and my dog, Chance.

Stewardess: Kristina Kenda

Born and raised on Slovenia´s Adriatic coast, I have always cherished our 29 miles of coastline and dreamt of working on boats and being on the water. My passion for hospitality and meeting new people took me across Europe during my university years, where I worked in nightclubs and hotels from Iceland to Greece. I´ve held various roles including barista, hostess, housekeeper, and event planner.

In 2019, my dream became a reality when I landed my first position as a service stewardess on a 130m private yacht in Greece, working alongside 28 other stews. This incredible six-month experience confirmed that I had chosen the right career path. Later that year, I relocated to Florida to become a 2nd Stew on a 44m yacht, continuing my dedication to providing superior customer service to yacht guests.

As your Stewardess on 4Play, I take pride in creating unforgettable moments for you and your guests. I look forward to welcoming you aboard and ensuring you have an exceptional experience.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring Florida and traveling with my husband, who also works on yachts, and our dog Zeus.
