CHIEF STEWARDESS- AZUCENA BELTRAN- MEXICAN 

Originally from Mexico, Azucena brings a rare blend of hospitality, polish and warmth to every charter. Before yachting, she spent five years as a flight attendant with Aero California, where she mastered the art of five-star service at 30,000 feet. In 2015 she traded the skies for the sea and has now spent more than a decade in yachting, including seven years as Chief Stewardess. 

Her career has taken her aboard M/Y Castor III (Azimut 88), M/Y Elisena (Azimut 70'), M/Y Insignia (35m Sunseeker), M/Y Andreika (33m Alpha), M/Y Happy-D (38m Benetti), M/Y Emilia (34m Westport) and most recently M/Y Fifth Season (39m Mangusta), cruising the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the US East Coast and the Mediterranean coasts of Italy, France, Monaco and Spain. Silver service trained and with a background in nursing, she runs a beautiful interior and takes great care of every guest on board. 

Fluent in Spanish and English, Azucena loves making guests feel pampered. Off duty, she’s happiest in the kitchen experimenting with new dishes, shaking up creative cocktails, styling table settings and décor, or putting her makeup artist training to use for a special night out. 

MATE- WALTER LO CURCIO- ITALY 

Born in Italy and raised by the sea, Walter has spent more than 12 years building a career on some of the world’s finest yachts. He started as a deckhand in 2014 aboard M/Y Kinta (55m) and M/Y Ocean Pearl (40m), then worked his way up to Bosun on M/Y H (42m) and M/Y Aviva (68m and 98m).

His travels have taken him through the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the North Atlantic and all the way across the Pacific to the Sea of Japan. Along the way he has earned his Yacht Master 200GT and a reputation as a calm, safety-first leader who keeps the deck running smoothly and guests smiling. 

Fluent in Italian, English and Spanish, Walter makes every guest feel at home. When he’s not on watch, you’ll find him in the water: he loves water sports and is always ready to take guests out on the tender for a day of fun. 

ENGINEER – EDGAR RIVERA- MEXICAN 

Hailing from Veracruz, Mexico, Edgar is the calm, capable force keeping everything running smoothly below deck. With a degree in Electromechanical Engineering from Tecnológico de México, he spent nine years as a Specialized Service Engineer with MTU, becoming an expert on the very engines that power many of today’s finest yachts. In 2021 he brought that know-how on board full time, and with nearly 15 years in the marine industry, there isn’t much he hasn’t seen or fixed. 

As Chief Engineer, Edgar has served aboard M/Y Andreika (32m Alpha), the busy charter yacht M/Y Rylax (35m Azimut), M/Y Emilia (34m Westport) and most recently M/Y Adamar (38m Azimut), a brand-new build where he trained with the Azimut/Benetti Academy. He has spent much of his career cruising the Bahamas and the US coast, and he holds a Chief Engineer license up to 3000 kW along with his RYA Powerboat Level 2. 

Fluent in Spanish and English, Edgar is happy to step out of the engine room to help guests enjoy the water. Off duty, you’ll often find him at the helm of the tender, ready to whisk guests off to a secluded beach or their next snorkel spot.
