  Dasa Fiegel

  Qualifications: STCW 2010 BASIC ENG 1 - Medical Certificate Food Safety & Hygiene Level 2 Quarterdeck Academy 2019 Dasa is originally from a small town in Slovenia near the Italian border. After completing hairdressing school, she quickly realized that a traditional routine was not the path for her. With a natural sense of adventure and a passion for discovering new cultures, she set out to explore the world. Her first extended travels took her to New Zealand and Australia, where she discovered her love for cooking and hospitality. Growing up in a home where her mother and grandmother were always cooking, food had always been an important part of Dasa’s life. However, it was through her travels that she truly recognized the joy and connection that cooking brings. Seven years ago, she began her career as a yacht chef and has since gained extensive experience working aboard yachts throughout Croatia, Greece, Italy, France, and the Caribbean. Dasa brings a warm, thoughtful, and guest-focused approach to every charter. She takes great pride in creating fresh, flavorful dishes that reflect both her travels and her connection to home. For Dasa, dining is about more than exceptional food—it is an opportunity to bring people together, create meaningful moments, and ensure that every guest feels relaxed, cared for, and at home on board. When she is not in the galley, Dasa enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, connecting with nature, and staying active through sports. She values a healthy and balanced lifestyle and brings that same positive energy, enthusiasm, and welcoming spirit to life on board.
