6 Guest Accomodation Two further aft located double state rooms sleep four, offering similar amenities and conveniences as the master suite. In all guest cabins the TV screens are smartly hidden behind framed artwork that prevents disruption to the subtle design of Firebird s interiors when not in use. The 21st century requires some of us to stay connected even when we travel to the most remote corners of the globe. Depending on the guests preference the midship cabin can be employed either as a double-screened satellite-connected and fully equipped office, or as a further en suite single cabin. All cabins offer hairdryers, luggage mats and laundry facilities. Usually, the guest laundry is cleaned mid-week but on request daily washing is available thanks to Miele professional series appliances fitted on board.

7 An Exquisite Dining Experience What could be better than an afternoon swim in crystal clear waters to then be greeted back onboard with freshly prepared treats and cocktails? Homely and indulgent treats are just the beginning, with carefully crafted menus designed to keep your tastebuds satisfied. No matter what, the panoramic view in the saloon turns any meal in to a real occasion, sunrise at breakfast in particular for the early risers.

8 The Eastern Mediterranean: A Hidden Gem Located in the heart of UNESCO listed Bay of Kotor, Porto Montenegro is an unparalleled gateway to some of the Europe s best cruising grounds. Whether you prefer to set off South to Dalmatia or North to Corfu and the isles of Ionian Sea the treasures and outstanding natural beauty is never further then a day sail away. Montenegro and Croatian Dalmatia with its islands, many of which have been just recently made accessible for public, offer some of the better winds and sailing conditions in the Med. The Pearl of the Mediterranean as it is commonly referred to boasts simply breathtaking scenery of waterfalls, lush mountains, sea side cliffs and perfectly still lakes sitting alongside its beautiful coastline with astonishing clear waters. If you complement this with outstanding architectural mastery of the coastal trading towns influenced as much by the Venetians, as the Ottomans and the Austro-Hungarian and an abundance of fusion cuisine, predating by a few centuries the term itself, you come to understand why Firebird chooses Dalmatia and the Ionian for her Summer charter programme.

An avid sportsman, James is an accomplished Tennis coach, snowboarder, as well as windsurfer & dingy sailor.

James completed his commercially endorsed MCA/RYA Yacht Master based in the Solent. He has since gained years of experience running a wide variety of yachts. Ranging from skippering the highly acclaimed Clipper 60 and Whitbread 60 race yachts for corporate events in and around the UK, to 2 years as Captain of a Matrix 76, a further 2 years onboard the Oyster 82 Oofledust and most recently 2 years on Oyster 825 Maegan, where superyacht racing became a regular pursuit. James calm and safety conscious manner as well as his wealth of knowledge from both the mountains and the sea will contribute to making your time on board Firebird a memorable one. Ollie - First Mate Ollie originates from Suffolk, UK and first found his sea legs in a dinghy as a 5 year old and his land legs on a rugby pitch at school, he spent his teenage years as captain of the Sixth Form rugby team and as a racing endorsed dinghy instructor. Having left the rugby field behind to pursue his love for sailing Ollie gained work experience as a Watch Leader on a 42m classic SuperYacht in Monaco before returning to the UK. Ollie s sailing career really took off when he was hand selected as one of fifteen sailors from the UK, under 24 years of age, to be part of the British Keelboat Academy. Here Ollie was on a national squad, receiving coaching from some of the top grand prix sailors in the world, igniting his passion for yacht racing. Whilst training at the academy Ollie started working for Oyster yachts in Ipswich as a commissioning skipper. Here he developed his skills in boat maintenance which together with his method of safe practice and customer relations allows guests to sit back and relax with peace of mind during their time on board. Ollie has sailed over NM including 4 transatlantic crossings and holds his commercially endorsed Yacht Master Ocean qualification and STCW10. FIREBIRD

13 CREW Mel - Chef/Stew Mel, also from Suffolk, caught the sailing bug from Ollie when she joined him for a delivery trip on an Oyster yacht from Ipswich to St Katherine s dock in London. Having achieved an Honours degree in Chemistry, Mel left her day job in the office as a scientific publishing editor and swapped cooking up potions in the lab for cooking up delights in the galley. After acquiring her STCW10 she joined Ollie to work on the water and gained experience sailing on the East Coast of England and UK and the much more tranquil surroundings of the British Virgin Islands and the Mediterranean. After gaining some additional training at Ashburton cookery school in the UK and the Crew Academy in Nice, Mel s hostessing and culinary skills were further developed complimenting her natural hospitality and love for baking. As well as yachting, Mel has a great love for yoga and is a fully qualified instructor. Expect as much yoga as you would like on board or on the beach as she is always itching to get on the mat and pass on her knowledge and energy to others. Mel has experience in teaching clients of all ages and enjoys guiding both beginners and experienced guests through their yoga practice. FIREBIRD
