About the Crew
Captain Pablo Gomez Gonzalez
With over four years of experience as a professional sailor and three years as a skilled skipper, Pablo brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to every journey. Having sailed more than 20,000 nautical miles, including two Atlantic Ocean crossings and a remarkable delivery voyage from Cape Town to the Mediterranean, his career is defined by adventure and expertise.
His love for the sea is matched by his dedication to safety and precision. Whether guiding charter guests through the stunning Balearic Islands during summer or navigating complex routes, he expertly employs advanced navigational equipment and meticulous planning to ensure smooth and enjoyable voyages.
A natural leader, Pablo thrives on fostering a well-coordinated crew and delivering an exceptional charter experience. With his deep knowledge of weather patterns, local surroundings, and potential challenges, he combines professionalism with a personal passion for sailing, making each trip unforgettable for his guests.
Aritz Santiago Ballesteros
Aritz Ballesteros is a 36-year-old chef renowned for his passion for creating unforgettable culinary experiences. Over the years, he has evolved from a culinary enthusiast into a seasoned Head Chef, excelling in kitchen management, team leadership, menu creation, and event organization.
Aritz’s career has taken him across much of Europe, including a notable tenure with Chateauform in the Netherlands, where he worked in stunning locations across Holland, Germany, France, and Switzerland. His experience includes positions at prestigious establishments such as the five-star Conservatorium Hotel in Amsterdam and high-end restaurants like Taiko Amsterdam, specializing in Asian cuisine, and Helling 7 in Amsterdam.
Last summer, Aritz embraced a new challenge by transitioning to the role of a yacht chef. This career move has been both rewarding and transformative, allowing him to adapt his culinary expertise to the unique demands of working in a confined onboard environment. As a barbecue enthusiast, Aritz has relished the opportunity to innovate while delivering exceptional dining experiences to clients.
His time in Mallorca was particularly fulfilling, as he consistently exceeded guests' expectations with his culinary artistry. Now based aboard the catamaran Bereshit in the British Virgin Islands, Aritz continues to craft memorable dining experiences for guests exploring the Caribbean.
Although he hails from Spain, Aritz’s extensive travels have greatly enriched his culinary repertoire. He remains deeply connected to his Mediterranean roots, specializing in Spanish, Italian, French, and Greek cuisines, while skillfully incorporating Asian influences from Japan, Thailand, and Indonesia. His appreciation for vibrant flavors also extends to South American cuisines, particularly those of Peru and Mexico.
Aritz looks forward to continuing his culinary journey, celebrating the diverse flavors of the world and sharing his innovative creations with guests aboard Bereshit.

Wedding Sailing Cruise in the BVI’s….its a must with this crew!
This was a trip of a lifetime and both Captain Pablo and Chef Aritz made it all possible. They went above and beyond to make our 8 day sail the most memorable trip EVER! Captain Pablo’s knowledge of the BVI’s was spot on and always knew the best islands to visit. We wanted to dinner one night on an island and his recommendation was amazing and he even made the reservations for us. We also decided at the last minute to get married on the boat so Captain Pablo made sure my day was perfect and found decorations and had a beautiful bouquet of flowers for me. The food….I can’t even describe the amazing dishes that Chef Aritz prepared for us, each morning he greeted me with a cappuccino and made sure to review the daily menu with us and gave us options. I’ll post pics of each meal so they can speak for themselves. Each meal was made with love and even Captain Pablo made his famous grandmothers French Toast one morning which was to die for! I would 100% recommend sailing with this crew, you won’t be disappointed I promise.

They Were Super With Everyone!
The best of times are had at sailing the sea and this boat is the one you want.
Pablo and Artiz were great and blended perfectly with my family. They were always on point and delivered everything anyone could ever want. They were super with everyone in my family and my 3yr old daughter loved them both. Food and a clean cabin was always available and they became great friends and honestly I was sad to part ways at the end of the trip. Can't wait to sail with them again in the future. The boat was amazing and the trip was too, l've been around the world and have had many trips, you can't go wrong with the Bereshit crew!!!!!!
