CHEF
Marielle Loffler
Marielle grew up with a love for food, culture, and connection - values that now shape her life as a yacht chef. With seven years of yoga teaching experience and a deep passion for creating nourishing meals, she brings a calm, soulful energy to life onboard.
After completing her degree in Optometry in Germany, she realized she wasn’t quite ready for the 9 - 5 life. Craving adventure and experiences, she set off to travel and eventually found her way into yachting - a perfect blend of her passion for food, people, and the sea.
Over the past three years, Marielle has worked on charters across Europe and the Caribbean, creating fresh, inspiring meals that reflect her travels. Time spent in Central America, New Zealand, and India sparked a deep love for local cuisines, and she now brings that inspiration into every dish she prepares.
Whether it’s a vibrant lunch spread or a cozy, home-style dinner, Marielle’s focus is always on flavor, balance, and guest satisfaction.
Initially self-taught in the galley, she completed a professional Culinary Yacht Chef Course last year to refine her skills and deepen her knowledge - combining her hands-on experience with formal training.

Alora Guest Reviews
February 2025
From start to finish it was a 5 star experience. The boat Alora was better than we expected. Comfortable with a group of 6 adults. Plenty of space to visit as a group and also lots of space to just hang out in groups of 2 or less. Never felt cramped or on top of one another. The crew on the Alora was by far our best experience of the entire week. Rorke and Paige communicated with us about a week prior to our departure and made sure our expectations would be met. They far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped off our water taxi a Scrub Island they were at our service. Every question was answered with a yes and changes to our planned destinations were welcomed. Rorke is an exceptional captain and was always at ease no matter what we encountered. He is even a better young man and truly enjoyed getting to spend the week with him. Paige is a beauty to eye and even more of a beauty at heart. Her culinary skills are impeccable. Her ability to make us feel at home was outstanding. They as a couple are a pure joy to be around. We left with new friends and the hope of future encounters. Honestly, the best vacation my wife and friends have ever experienced!

Wow! A catamaran trip through the BVI´s has been on my bucket list for over 8 years. Until now, I could only imagine what it would be like and Paige and Rorke truly surpassed what had been in my dreams.
Paige and Rorke are truly a delight to be with, and provided a level of service well above and beyond our expectations. This has definitely been the dream trip I hoped it would be!
The food was amazing and presentation was incredible. Our family could not have had a better time, cannot recommend enough!

Our experience aboard the Alora was nothing short of exceptional, Thanks to the outstanding care and professionalism of Rorke and Paige!
Rorke, as captain, displayed a high level of maturity and expertise handling the vessel. He also led our fishing adventures with great success – barracuda, a bonito, and more.
Paige is an incredible host and chef, preparing meals, snacks and drinks every day. Everyone was delighted and satisfied and full!
Together they created a warm and fun atmosphere, The four of us consider it an all – time favorite experience. We highly recommend them specifically for a terrific adventure.
