About M/Y MAYBE NOT

Chef Vivi Tampouraki brings 15 years of culinary and yachting experience to the galley, combining Mediterranean soul with international flair and a warm, personal approach to food.

Her career has taken her aboard renowned yachts including Luna Blue (38m), Lady D (40m), Julie M (25m) , George V, Nel Mare, Nectar, Wave Runner and a 74-foot catamaran, where she created high-quality cuisine for charter guests. With experience in restaurants, including a tavern she owned, as well as international work in the USA, Vivi is comfortable catering to diverse tastes and creating memorable meals in any setting.

A fluent English speaker with a strong connection to the yachting community, she has participated multiple times in the Nafplio Yacht Show (MEDYs) and is also known for supporting and mentoring fellow chefs. Warm, experienced and team-minded, Vivi believes great food is about creating happy guests, a happy crew, and a little Mediterranean magic in every bite.

Iliana is one of those rare yachting professionals whose career reads like a map of the industry’s finest vessels. With experience across private, charter and luxury yachts from 26m to 93m, she has built a reputation for delivering service that feels effortless, intuitive and beautifully polished.

Her journey spans an impressive lineup of yachts: M/Y Astraea (54m), Satemi (60m), Seakid II (56m), Tigra (32m), Mobius (38m), Sevanna (50m), Moka (52m), Moonlight II (93m), Idol (70m), Daydream (43m), Lucky Me, and S/Y Ellen V (40.4m), each chapter adding depth to her skillset.

What truly sets Iliana apart is her versatility. Beyond her extensive stewardess and chief stewardess roles, she has stepped confidently into the galley as Sole Chef and Temp Head Chef on yachts including M/Y Lazy Me, Mythos G, Water Toy III, Jana and Ouzo Palace. Few professionals can move between front‑of‑house elegance and culinary execution with such ease.

A team player, Iliana brings Powerboat Level II certification, strong maritime qualifications, and a multilingual edge: fluent in English and French, with intermediate Italian, Spanish and French. Trained in Silver Service, culinary arts and pastry, she blends refined service with practical know‑how, ensuring every detail onboard feels intentional and beautifully delivered.

Iliana is always one step ahead, whether it’s a perfectly timed morning coffee appearing just as the sun rises, a favourite breakfast prepared exactly the way you like it, or a crisp towel magically waiting after a dip in crystal clear waters.

If there's one crew member who rarely stands still, it's Sotiris! Sotiris grew up with the sea as his backyard- literally. As a son of a professional fisherman, raised in and around the sea from a very young age, the early salt water upbringing shows in everything he does. Calm under pressure, quick with a line and happiest when he’s working under the sun with the deck glistening.

With a solid foundation built through his Hellenic Navy service, “Frigate HS ADRIAS (F‑459), Auxiliary Vessel PAT ARACHTHOS (A‑461)” Sotiris brings discipline, seamanship and a no‑nonsense work ethic to every yacht he steps on. Since 2022, he’s been steadily building a strong yachting résumé across vessels like M/Y ENIGMA, M/Y SEA YA, M/Y INFINITAS and most recently M/Y BUBBLY, where he worked as a deckhand.

Sotiris is also the guy who jumps straight into water‑sports action helping launch tenders, managing toys, assisting guests with gear and safety so everyone has fun. Energetic, reliable and always ready to help, Sotiris keeps the deck sharp, the toys running and the vibe onboard upbeat!
