Crew Profile

Captain | Edwen Gomez
Honduran
Having grown up on the island of Roatan, Honduras, the sea has always been a huge part of Edwen’s life. He comes from a family of divers which is where his career on water started. Edwen worked with his father at a dive resort by driving their 28ft Island Hoper. It did not take him long to become a qualified dive master and eventually he worked on cruise ships as a dive instructor and a manager of excursions. His background of driving yachts combined with his diving qualifications naturally took him towards the world of superyachts. He enjoys diving, hiking and fishing. Edwen’s native tongue is Spanish. Edwen’s experience and positive can-do attitude is an asset to SANTOSH and will guarantee your time on board to be unforgettable!

Chief Stewardess | Melissa Dillon

Growing up in a beachside suburb in Sydney, Mel learned to love the water from a young age. At the age of 21, she moved to London to work and caught the travel bug. She took advantage of having Europe at her back door, travelling and working in a variety of different roles, enjoying new experiences and making friends along the way. Mel’s travelling did not stop in Europe. She then moved to Canada where she learnt to snowboard and worked in some reputable restaurants. This is where Mel perfected her skills in hospitality and service. These skills and experience are an asset to team SANTOSH. Mel enjoys snowboarding, hiking, yoga, watersports and patting dogs!
