Southern Belle

Captain - Rhys Remane

Chef - Charli Bellamy

Charli is a Southern gal who loves travel and feeding people. She was born on a small farm in Georgia and her earliest job was tending chickens and collecting the fresh eggs every morning. She grew up cooking authentic Southern food with her grandparents, feeding a large family with food grown in the garden or sourced from the farm. Developing a love for travel at a young age, she has been exploring the world and incorporating new cuisine into her cooking for many years. After her first sailing experience in 2015, she found her passion for living and working on the sea. A woman of many talents, she studied Chemistry at the University of Georgia, then attended design school at FIT in New York while running a specialty coffee shop, and also spent six months in Italy studying abroad and learning Italian cooking. In her twenties she designed a small line of cocktail and party dresses before opening her own vintage clothing business in Seattle, WA.
Her love of travel and exploring eventually landed her on a boat in Croatia, where she fell in love with the sea. Charli began cooking on sail boats 8 years ago, beginning with small private charters in the Mediterranean. She has worked and sailed in Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Italy, Bahamas, the San Juan Islands, the US & British Virgin Islands, as well as the southern Caribbean. While her favorite cuisines are modern, healthy Southern and Italian, she has had extensive experience cooking for specialized diets including gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, keto/paleo. She is always happy to work with guests and provide customized menus.
