Stewardess - Demi Rose
Hi, my name is Demi, and I’m so excited to welcome you onboard Yacht C’est La Vie!
My passion is creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere through attentive service that makes every guest feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home at sea. I love helping create unforgettable experiences, whether it’s through thoughtful details, positive energy, or simply making each day onboard feel effortless and special.
I’m also a qualified lifestyle, fitness, and nutrition coach with a passion for encouraging others to become stronger, healthier, and more confident while living balanced, fulfilling lives. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, meeting new faces, and helping others feel their best.
One of the things I love most about yachting is the opportunity to explore beautiful places, experience different cultures, and continuously learn and grow through new experiences. The ocean has always brought me a deep sense of peace — from the sound of the waves to breathtaking sunsets at sea, it’s where I feel calm, grounded, and inspired.
I would describe myself as friendly, positive, sparkling, and deeply caring, and I always aim to bring warmth and good energy to those around me. I look forward to welcoming you onboard C’est La Vie and helping create a truly memorable and unforgettable experience for you!

Reviews From Past Charters
Aboard Nov 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.Love Robbie and Sofie. They went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. They were very flexible and listened to our requests and suggestions of things we’d like to do and we’re very accommodating in the itinerary. Sofie’s cooking was outstanding. They both took time to get to know our family and it showed with how well we were taken care of every day. Overall it felt very personalized and very special. An exceptionally memorable vacation. Well done!
Aboard 2 Nov 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia
Robbie and Sofie were the most incredible hosts. As a all ladies group we were a little over the top and Robbie did a great job hanging. They both did a wonderful job balancing professionalism, safety, gourmet cuisine, and fun. There were handfuls of moments where they both went above and beyond to make the trip special. Noticing our silly needs even before we knew we had them. Sofie knew when to play the perfect song, add disco lights, and could remember who liked what with their food. They are the BEST first mate and captian we have ever had. Please tell them we genuinely loved every moment and appreciate them endlessly!
Aboard Jun 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sophia were absolutely AMAZING!!! they truly went above and beyond with their services. They were so much FUN and were always keeping us organized. coming back from snorkeling and finding our towels folded, and then keeping our snorkel and dive gear all organized was such a surprise. We love them both dearly, and hope to sail again with them very soon!!!! Was truly our BEST VACATION EVER!!!! Not sure if any other captain and first mate could match their services.
Aboard May 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sofia went above our expectations! He helped in every way possible. If we asked for it or he just heard us talking, Robbie made sure our wishes came true. Excellent service by both. Hats off to Robbie and Sofia.
Aboard 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia
Any superlatives that one can use for the work of Sophia and Robbie are inadequate. They are simply wonderful people that do an amazing job. The sailing was excellent, the food was superb and the interaction with Sophia and Robbie was great. I cannot imagine how they could possibly have done better.
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Sofia and Robbie was very professional and attentive to our family. Sophia accommodated the dietary requirements of our youngest daughter with the skills of a five star chef. Robbie commanded the yacht with ease and confidence. His choice of moorings and anchorages were all beautiful locations to enjoy the sunsets and sunrises. The music play list provided by the crew were the best I have experienced
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sophie went above and beyond on this vacation. Sophie really catered to all our dietary needs. Robbie took us to several places and told us stories about each place. Every night they asked how we enjoyed the day and if there was anything that we wanted to do the next day.
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Robbie and Sofie were an excellent crew. Robbie kept everything interesting, played great music, and was very engaging and fun. Sofie was also very engaging, made excellent meals, and was exceptionally accommodating for some of our special dietary needs. They were both highly professional yet still super friendly, I would gladly sail with them again.
Aboard Apr 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
The service on this trip was phenomenal! Mind you we have never had bad service with Tradewinds but Robbie and Sofie went above and beyond to make sure we had a great vacation. Their customer service was exceptional. I cannot say enough good things about them. They made sure we had everything we needed at all times so we could relax and enjoy our time in the BVIs. Scuba, snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, sunbathing, hiking, geocaching. We did it all!
Aboard Mar 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
Captain Robby and first mate, Sophia, were perfect hosts. Their competence and attention to keeping tidy quarters were superb. They each had their own special culinary skills -- Robby was a supreme grill master and Sophie excelled at presentation and taste.
Aboard Mar 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
This was my first (and probably only) catamaran experience, and I was so honored to spend it with Robbie and Sofia on that awesome 60-ft!! They were most attentive and went out of their ways to make sure we had everything we needed and catered, when necessary. I had a bruised ankle and fell and injured that same ankle toward the beginning of the trip. They still catered to my inability to take more dingy trips. They were there to give me more than adequate support (my, they both are so STRONG). The food was awesome, and we expressed our desire (with everyone on our boat) that we'd pay for a recipe book for all that we ate. Sofie prepared it with the love and expertise desired by TradeWinds, and Robbie was a perfect 1st Mate in the kitchen. He was a perfect Captain, while Sofie was the perfect 1st Mate otherwise. They are well-trained and completely socially compatible with each other and all of us. If my husband and I were more water sports enthusiasts and younger, we might have enjoyed it even more.
Aboard 9 Feb 2019 in BVI with Robbie and Sofia.
The crew: Robbie and Sophie were one of the most dedicated and professional crews we ever had. It is very important to point out that, although crews are, in general, of great excellence, this one exceeded all our expectations. Robbie is a very professional sailor and diving instructor. Sophie a superb chef. Both constitute a very good team. Last but not least, both are very, very, very good people.
