CAPTAIN
Ryan Demarco
Raised in Austin, Ryan grew up camping in the Texas Hill Country, playing soccer and football, and exploring his love for the water with weekends on the lake. After earning a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, he spent his 20s building a career as a financial planner while also becoming a 500-hour certified yoga teacher.
During a solo trip to Costa Rica, Ryan was inspired to pursue his passion for adventure. He traded in his suit and tie for life on the water, joining boats in the Bahamas and Annapolis before heading to South Africa, where he earned his Yachtmaster Offshore license and sailed back across the Southern Atlantic Ocean.
As a captain, Ryan began delivering yachts and running charters along the U.S. East Coast and through the Caribbean. He was then offered a position with a charter company in the Mediterranean, working in Croatia and Greece, where he quickly rose to Lead Skipper.
When not on the water, Ryan enjoys backpacking in the mountains and traveling the world with his fiancée.

CHEF
Nicole Shaaf
Growing up in Southern Germany, Nicole spent countless hours cooking alongside her grandmother and mother, forming cherished memories in the kitchen. Her favorite childhood moments, however, took place in the family garden, where her grandfather instilled in her a deep appreciation for locally sourced, high-quality ingredients.
After earning a degree in Business and Journalism, Nicole moved to Berlin to immerse herself in the entrepreneurial world, gaining valuable experience working for startups and investors. Attending Europe’s largest tech conferences and engaging with countless founders from diverse industries, she sharpened her skills in detail-oriented, fast-paced environments. Berlin’s multicultural atmosphere fueled her culinary curiosity, inspiring her to explore a wide range of cuisines. Amidst the city´s vibrant energy, Nicole became known as the go-to host for unforgettable dinner parties, where her love for creating exceptional food experiences truly shone.
In the beginning of 2024, Nicole decided to swap the concrete jungle for clear waters and beautiful beaches. She spent five months sailing across the Mediterranean Sea and working as a private chef. One of her favorite parts of this new chapter is sourcing fresh ingredients at early morning markets and crafting nutritious, seasonal meals that reflect the essence of each region.
For Nicole, being a chef is about far more than crafting delicious dishes. It’s about bringing people together, fostering meaningful connections, and creating lasting memories. She believes the magic of a meal lies in the conversations shared and the moments savored over great food and drinks.
CERTIFICATES
• Culinary & Barista Training at Luni Gastronomy

Bella Guest Reviews
February 2025
This was an unforgettable trip. We will always treasure our family time aboard “Bella” and this includes you Ryan and Nicole as you are now like family to us. Everything was perfect, even the weather! The highlight was the easy and fun conversations and activities. Thank you Ryan for always making sure we were safe and selecting great spots and activities for everyone. Thank you Nicole for your Michelin star dining experience, and for capturing the magic as only a professional photographer can. Merci!!
June 2024
Our family had the best trip on the boat ´Bella´. Captain Jordache and Chef Olga were not only outstanding at handling the boat, but they made sure our trip with the kids was perfect. They went above and beyond. If we wanted to change plans, they always made sure to accommodate any request that we had. The food on the boat was also better than any restaurant. We truly had the trip of a lifetime and can´t wait to go back!
June 2024
Thank you Jordache & Olga for a wonderful week aboard Bella!
Jordache, you are a fine captain and lots of fun, thank you for the painkillers!!
Olga, your food and hospitality is superb. We love you! And we love Bella!
Thank you for taking us to the best spots BVI has to offer. Excellent trip and lots of love and fun!!!
April 2024
We had an amazing time on Bella. We cannot say enough good things about Captain James and Olga. James did a great job discerning where our interests were and adjusting the itinerary for that. I feel that we were able to have some more exclusive experiences because of this. He knew how to avoid the crowds which was very appealing to our group. Somehow each day was better than the day before.
Olga’s food was outstanding. She paid great attention to detail and her dishes were better than any five star restaurant. From her presentation to her flavors, we were truly amazed after each meal. She has a gift for cooking and took special care to create meals that appealed to our group.
They were both very professional, but still friendly and we enjoyed getting to know them during our charter. We appreciated their expertise about the BVIs- the two times we are onshore they managed everything with the restaurants and made excellent recommendations.
We will recommend Bella and her crew in the future.
March 2024
We just spent the most epic time in the BVIs thanks to the best crew, James and Olga! They were very attentive to all of our needs and made sure we were having a great time! James is a great captain and will help create an itinerary that is flexible and fun for everyone.Olga is a culinary genius! She truly enjoys what she does as it is reflected in the time and care she takes in the presentation of her meals! They took us to some of the best places, Anegada, Saba Rock, Virgin Gorda(get a ride from Sweet Ice Willy) James will organize it for you. If you are thinking of booking a charter, we highly recommend booking your trip with them! Thanks again for making our first trip to the BVIs so memorable!
March 2024
From the moment we stepped aboard the Bella Charter, we knew we were in for a treat, but nothing could have prepared us for the incredible trip ahead. James was a fantastic captain, who did not only an incredible job navigating us around the most beautiful locations within the BVI’s but also was super great with our kids, taking them on wakeboard adventures, helping them fish, etc. The Bella itself was the most beautiful and comfortable boat. We are a family of 4 and the primary suite was much larger and expansive than expected. The indoor and outdoor lounge areas were super comfortable and there are a few different areas to hang out, providing opportunities to chill and read or socialize. And the food! Chef Tesha´s culinary magic turned each meal into a feast. She mastered cooking for a family with gluten, dairy and nut allergies in the most delicious way, which is no small feat! Her dishes were vibrant, fresh and family-friendly. This trip was the epitome of fun for our boys and super tranquil for us. It´s not a question of if, but when we will return again. A huge thank you to the crew for an unforgettable experience!

First impressions: Impeccably clean, modern, airy, wonderfully welcoming crew
Loved our eating area with the indoor-outdoor concept. Spent so much time here. Loved that there were different common areas to gather and sit.
The crew was wonderful and really met our needs/interests. Loved that we could totally relax and just have fun, not worry about anything. Slept so well! The food was fantastic.
James was wonderful! Available when we needed him and really meshed well with our group. Very friendly and funny, and really seemed to understand what we were interested in. He hustled every day to find us the best spots to visit/moor!
Olga was LOVELY. So sweet and kind, and really interested in making things from her heart/culture but also tailored to what we liked. The food was delicious and there was always plenty. Presentation was beautiful.
February 2024
James and Olga thanks for a great week for laughing at our jokes accommodating our dietary requirements, and for showing us all the amazing sites in the BVI we really appreciate all your hard work and hospitality.
