TEDAVI

Yacht Details

Introducing Tedavi, a brand new 2022 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51. Her sleek design seamlessly combines fantastic sailing capabilities with luxurious and comfortable spaces for living and relaxing. A great new feature is the complete opening between the saloon and the cockpit, an innovation which will offer you an even greater feeling of freedom and space. The galley and saloon are modern and bright adding to the spacious feel of this newly designed 51 foot catamaran. The large table in the cockpit seats eight adults comfortably for al fresco dining, playing some board games or enjoying a movie on the 60-inch projector screen. She has a large flybridge offering 360 degree views with plenty of lounge seating and a sunbathing area for all to enjoy. The foredeck is another spacious area with reclinable seating and areas for relaxation. Both areas can be covered with sun shades, allowing you to enjoy the ocean breeze while taking in the beauty of your natural surroundings in comfort. Tedavi has four queen cabins, one of which is a spacious master cabin with an additional entrance opening onto the aft deck for direct bed to ocean access. All cabins have en-suite bathrooms with electric freshwater toilets, individually controlled air conditioning units, multiple integrated USB ports and queen beds which face the ocean for the perfect view to wake up to. Tedavi means “healing” in Turkish and is the perfect name for this beautiful yacht on which you can experience the healing power of sailing on a vacation unlike any other.

Yacht Crew

MEET YOUR CREW
CAPTAIN: GORDON HOLDEN
CHEF: ELLIE ARCHER


Meet Gordon Holden, your Captain on Tedavi! He is 29 yrs old and from Buffalo NY. He has been around the water his whole life. He grew up on the shores of Lake Erie sailing/swimming/waterskiing with family and friends in addition to spending summers at Lake Muskoka in Ontario Canada doing much of the same.
His family owns a C&C 33ft sailboat on Lake Erie that he and his 3 brothers learned to sail from an early age. In addition to sailing, he was the captain of my high school swimming and diving team as well as the local rugby club. He has always had a passion for the water and has sailed in a variety of locations across the globe.
During summer breaks in college, he worked in high end hospitality establishments in East Hampton & Montauk NY and enjoyed providing unique experiences to guests. A few years after graduating college with a Business Administration & History Degree, he worked in Corporate for some time and decided to leave his desk behind and hit the water full time! Gordon went on to obtain his captain and sailing credentials, spent a season working flotilla charters in the Mediterranean, mainly Croatia and Greece, and captained S/V 3 Sisters and S/V Salty Dog the past 2 seasons in the Virgin Islands.

Having grown up in Australia, Ellie has always lived a life of adventure in the outdoors. She fondly recalls the many weekends of hikes and camping her friends and family would go on, and the adjoining activities such as kayaking and rock climbing that would occur.

Since childhood, Ellie always had a passion for showing love through food. Whether that meant bringing people together through a shared bite, or perhaps dropping off a sweet treat to brighten someone’s day, she knew how much a meal could mean to people. After a few years of travelling the world, Ellie, or known affectionately as “Archie” by her cheffing peers, decided to pursue her commercial cookery and patisserie qualifications. This led her to work for some of the most renowned restaurant groups and cafés in Melbourne, where her skills were able to exponentially skyrocket.

After having worked on yachts in both Europe and the Caribbean previously, Ellie knew it was her calling to come back to where she was able to combine her two loves of cooking and outdoor adventure. She loves welcoming guests on board and providing the best curated experience, not only cooking for guests but also taking them on water and onshore adventures. On charter, Ellie loves nothing more than to see clients genuinely enjoying themselves under her care, and understands that it's the small details that really make a trip memorable. You’ll wake with a sense of excitement, and end the day with a full belly and a mind full of memories.

With her and Gordon's enthusiasm and knowledge, they know that after a week with them their guests will leave having just experienced one of the best weeks of their lives.
