Siobhan Huntington (pronounced shavon) hails from Stoke on Trent, England. Siobhan has a college degree in sports and exercise science. She was an avid soccer "sorry Football, according to her" player, not only in club, but high school and college. She went on as a sports professional, with Royal Caribbean cruise line, where she ran their sports program for 4 years. This is where her and John met. John was a second officer, managing the scuba program for the company. He and Siobhan passed one day, deep in the ships corridors and words were said. The ship, however is so giant, the largest in the world at the time, they did not see each other again for four more days. They have been together ever since. Now together over 6 years, married going on 4. They left Royal together and have been running yacht charters, ever since.
Siobhan and John live in Mexico, when not onboard. So they bring a massive "Mexican flair" to their cooking style. Siobhan is famous for her homemade roasted salsas, fish tacos, ceviches, enchiladas, huevos rancheros, chilaquiles and of course Mariscos! Seafood for you gringos:) She will delight you with continental, early morning breakfast and coffee, when you wake. Then, when you are ready, she will prepare you whatever you wish, to start your day right. Or, she can surprise you each day, with a new breakfast of her choice. Her lunches will be light and healthy, Caesar salad wraps, watermelon, cucumber and feta salads, amazing sandwiches of all kinds and whatever else tickles your fancy. Maybe a nice home made burger and chips or fresh ceviche or poke of a fish captain caught that morning. For dinners onboard, expect them both to join forces and bring you some of John's cooking, as well. He lOVES to cook. Fresh lobster tail, with roasted rosemary potatoes and fresh
asparagus, blackened grouper on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, or maybe even some of John's grandma's recipes, penne with fresh from scratch vodka sauce and lump lobster meat. He has even been known to make a lasagna from scratch, if time allows.
Together, they are looking forward to giving you a charter of a lifetime. With tons of fresh cocktails, amazing fresh home made food and many many after dinner sea tales, accompanied by Siobhan's home made desserts
