CREW

Captain  Argan Bailey, British, 26

Growing up in a family of sea lovers gave Argan a head start, sailing at every opportunity from early childhood. Argan also began cooking at a young age.  He worked alongside his mother, a chef well-known for catering exclusive weddings and events, gaining experience in all aspects of high-end cuisine and service.

With these well-developed skills and solid experience, Argan found the yacht charter industry a natural fit for doing what he loves – sailing, cooking and meeting people from all over the world.  

Argan is enthusiastic and dedicated to giving guests onboard S/Y Mira the very best. Whether you prefer sailing hard on the wind, or just relaxing in a tranquil bay enjoying fine food and refreshing drinks, you will find that Argan is committed to making your holiday a fun, safe and memorable experience.
