After having various roles in the yachting industry, she obtained her Yachtmaster Offshore Sail 200T license in Gibraltar and has worked on charters in Croatia, Greece, South of France, Amalfi coast and Balearic Islands before moving to the BVI. She is also a RYA certified sailing instructor and loves to show newcomers the ropes!

During the winter seasons lona worked in the French Alps running and catering chalets to a very high standard. With both of these experiences, lona is able to present and deliver a vast variety of cuisines. lona has a Mediterranean cooking flare and loves working with both land and sea elements.
Iona started her first yacht season in Mallorca where she met Stella. They worked together on a 55ft catamaran sailing around the Balearics.

Soul Mates Guest Reviews
FIVE STARS FOR SOUL MATES
Our incredible trip aboard SOULMATES was made even better because of Captain Stella and Chef Iona. As first time charter guests to the BVI, we put our 7-day itinerary and menu entirely in their hands and enjoyed every minute of it.
Captain Stella’s knowledge of the boat, the area and sailing in general is impressive and puts even the most novice boater at ease. We felt incredibly safe in her hands and loved hearing about her favorite spots and future sailing plans.
We all marveled at how Chef Iona was able to continuously produce such delicious meals in such a confined area. Her food was not only stunning in appearance but absolutely delicious. If you are fortunate to have her as your chef, be sure to request her mother’s scones!
With four couples aboard, we never felt claustrophobic or like we didn’t have enough space. And Stella and Iona felt like an extension of our group.
Don´t hesitate. Book the trip. Make the memories ☀️
Caribbean Dream
Rarely does the actual event exceed the expectations. This exceeded all of our expectations from chef Iona’s meals to Captain Stella’s ability to pilot the boat to fixing door handles. We really enjoyed sharing this experience with both ladies!
Trip of a lifetime!!
Caption Stella & Chef Iona are topnotch professionals! Captain Stella gave us
wonderful suggestions where to snorkel & other activities. Chef Iona prepared
5 star meals. We will sail with them again!!
First Class Holiday to BVI
The trip of a lifetime! Spent 7 days on board Soulmates with Stella and Iona our captain and chef respectively. Every aspect of the vacation was a first class: the gourmet meals, the accommodations, the places visited, the flexibility of the crew, the boat....!
We are sad to leave but have the lifetime memories and are already planning our next trip!
Thanks Stella and Iona!
Soulmates 2025 with Captain Stella and Chef Iona
We had a fantastic catamaran trip for 7 days in the British and US Virgin Islands. Our Captain, Stella, was extremely competent driving the cat and finding the best spots to snorkel. She had a great plan for everyday, with on island adventures as well as finding great snorkeling spots.
Our Chef, Iona, cooked fresh, delicious meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We had a fun cocktail and appetizers everyday as well. She tailored the meals for what we requested. Both Stella and Iona made this trip an amazing for our group and we would book them again!
This was the trip of a lifetime!
This was a trip of a lifetime ! Capt Stella and Chef Iona were absolutely amazing. Every day was an adventure. We visited so many beautiful locations and always returned to a fantastic gourmet meal! We couldn’t have enjoyed the boat and crew more. Would definitely recommend doing this.
Sailing Trip In Paradise!
It was one of the best vacations of my life! Awesome crew! Stella the captain kept everything running smoothly and we ate gourmet food all week. A true week of pampering. I highly recommend this cruise. Soulmates is the best.

Great Yacht Trip on Soul Mates!!
I recommend the yacht trip we just took! We had a wonderful time! It was an amazing experience on a private cruise in the BVI aboard the catamaran, Soul Mates. We worked through Mitch Garvie as our Yacht Charter Consultant. A group of 7 of us went out on the 54 foot Bali, a crewed catamaran yacht. The rooms were comfortable and there was more than enough space on the boat. The trip was a week in January and we were treated to beautiful views, great weather, delicious meals, fun beaches, short hikes, and good snorkeling. We especially liked the Baths and the Bubbly Pool!!! We hit 9 BVI islands and our captain, Stella, and our chef, Iona, made us feel welcome and comfortable. Stella was a very good captain and handled the boat easily, mooring at night in calm waters. Iona was ready to offer us beverages and snacks and prepared meals with all the fine touches of a high class restaurant. I highly recommend these two ladies and the yacht, Soul Mates.
Cruising BVI on Soulmates was the trip of a lifetime!
Our trip on the yacht Soulmate was nothing short of magical! From the very beginning of our planning process Mitch Garvie of Yacht.Vacation was wonderful to work with. He was able to connect us with the yacht Soulmate. It was perfect for our group of 7 adults. Our Captain and Chef, Stella and Iona were great. We were in very good hands from the minute we stepped on board. This crew was not only were very skilled at their job but it was a joy to spend 7 days with them. We traveled the BVI and saw all the wonderful things they offer. After each excursion we would return to the boat to find a delicious meal or snack waiting for us . We would highly recommend taking a cruise on Soulmates as long as Stella and Iona are there. It was a fantastic trip!
Relaxing week cruising the BVI
We had an amazing vacation aboard Soul Mates. The crew is outstanding and catered to every one of our needs. The captain, Stella, did an expert job of charting the course for a perfectly relaxing and adventurous week throughout the US and British Virgin Islands. The chef, Iona, is a food savant, serving delicious and healthy meals throughout the day. Mitch coordinated the trip for us and was in continuous communication, ensuring our trip was worry free. We highly recommend it!!!
Best trip of our lives
SoulMates was an amazing vessel, with a modern design and all the amenities you need. We charted SoulMates for our last family trip before my eldest daughter went to college. The crew, Captian Sofia, and Chef Marisa did not disappoint in making our trip the best vacation of our lives. Not only are they amazing at what they do but they are also amazing people. The food, the activities were all top notch!
