Ava – Luxury Dinner Cruise Server

Ava brings warmth, professionalism, and a bright smile to every luxury dinner cruise at St. Augustine Sailing. As one of our exceptional servers, she plays a key role in creating the unforgettable onboard dining experiences that our guests have come to love. Though she’s one of the younger members of our team, her maturity, work ethic, and kindness make her a standout. She makes the experience seamless and flawless. Such a treasure for our luxury dinners.

From Restaurant Floors to the Deck of a Yacht

Ava joined St. Augustine Sailing with a strong background in restaurant service. Her experience in hospitality made her the perfect candidate to serve aboard our elegant dinner charters. She understands timing, presentation, and how to anticipate a guest’s needs—all while maintaining grace under pressure.

Transitioning from restaurant dining rooms to sailing yachts was a natural step. Ava quickly adapted to the unique environment, learning how to balance elegant service with the rhythm of the sea. Her ability to provide five-star service in motion sets her apart.

Enhancing the Dinner Cruise Experience

Our luxury dinner cruises are among the most exclusive offerings at St. Augustine Sailing. Guests step aboard a beautifully appointed yacht, greeted by a licensed captain, private chef, and attentive server. As the vessel glides through the historic waters of St. Augustine, guests enjoy a multi-course meal, hand-selected wines, and unmatched views of the skyline, lighthouse, and Matanzas River.

Ava’s presence adds something special to the entire experience. Her gentle manner, sweet personality, and attention to detail help guests feel completely cared for. She welcomes everyone with warmth and is always nearby to refill a glass, clear a course, or answer questions with a smile.

She understands how to be attentive without being intrusive, and how to let guests relax and enjoy their evening while still delivering flawless service.

Hospitality Comes Naturally to Ava

What truly sets Ava apart is her heart for service. She genuinely enjoys making people feel welcome and appreciated. Her calm energy and youthful spirit bring a freshness to every cruise. Whether she’s assisting with a romantic anniversary dinner, a birthday celebration, or a corporate charter, she shows up with professionalism and poise.

Ava works closely with our onboard chefs to time each course perfectly, ensure every dish is presented beautifully, and keep the entire service flowing seamlessly. She’s a team player who takes pride in contributing to memorable moments on the water.

A Bright Future on the Water for Ava

Ava continues to grow in her role and expand her knowledge of sailing, service, and hospitality. She’s always eager to learn, quick to lend a hand, and easy to work with. Her grace, attentiveness, and kind demeanor have made her a favorite among both guests and crew.

At St. Augustine Sailing, we believe the experience matters—and Ava helps ensure every dinner cruise feels extraordinary. With her on board, guests don’t just enjoy a meal; they enjoy heartfelt service that leaves a lasting impression.
