CAMILLE Yacht Charter

Captain: Matthew Burns

Captain Matthew Burns - Matt hails from Saint Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. As a French West Indian, farming and fishing has been a large part of life since birth. Matt started working on the water at 12, working the decks onboard his cousins' commercial fishing boat whenever possible. By 16 he was running the deck of the commercial boats alone. He would fill in as the mate for any boat in the fleet as needed just to get out on the water more. At 22 Matt started running day charters in the US and British Virgin Islands. At 25 he moved to Los Angeles, CA and immediately started running larger multi-passenger vessels for fishing and booze cruises. Shortly after, he found his way into Yachting and has now been a Yacht charter captain for 8 years.

Mate Dimitry Nessburg – Dimitry was born and raised in southern Connecticut, the eldest child of Russian immigrants. An avid athlete growing up, he spent most of his summers as a boy sailing competitively all along the US northern Atlantic seaboard. After graduating from high school, Dimitry enlisted in the US Marine Corps Infantry and successfully completed 2 combat tours in Iraq & the Persian Gulf. After military service, he completed his studies at UConn and worked in manufacturing before relocating to South FL and entered the yachting industry in Spring 2015. Dimitry has worked on boats ranging in size from 38-74m, and has been fortunate enough to cruise the Mediterranean, Caribbean, eastern Canada, Central America, Alaska, South Pacific, and SE Asia. He enjoys all facets of boat life and the thrilling aspects of charter trips. He looks forward to lending his seasoned experience and passion for world-class service as the newest member of the Camille crew.


Chief Stewardess Stevi Gregorios – Stevi is from Long Beach, CA. Growing up a swimmer, she has always been attracted to the ocean. This lead her to the University of Hawaii, where she studied broadcast journalism and swam competitively. She also worked in several client facing roles in the hospitality industry; serving, bartending, and catering for 5 years. Upon her return to California is when her yachting career began. She worked high end charters in Marina Del Rey before diving into a full-time, live aboard position in 2018. Since then, she has had successful seasons in the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Northeast & the Bahamas.
Being Chief Stewardess has taught her to lead by example, be flexible, and always expect the unexpected! Her competitive drive and passion to please others means she puts her heart into every trip. Whether it be for the new charter guest or the owners who have been onboard countless times, her goal remains the same… to give the guests the best experience possible with memories that will last a lifetime.


Deckhand/Stewardess – Briana Bolanos – Briana is from Charlotte, North Carolina, but moved to sunny South Florida when she was 19 years old. Growing up in a household with both parents from El Salvador, Briana was raised speaking both Spanish and English. Having dual languages definitely came in handy as she ventured to South Florida and began working in hospitality. Briana has always loved the ocean, but after a few land-based jobs in West Palm Beach over a few years she wanted to take her love for the sea to a new level. Briana has now been in the industry for 4 years which led to an unforgettable experience of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Briana loves her career for a multitude of reasons, but most important is that she loves to make sure every single guest feels happy, welcomed and is enjoying their time onboard!


Chef Eli Pomerantz – Eli was born and raised in rural foothills of the Appalachian Mountains outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In his youth, he spent all his time outdoors or playing competitive lacrosse and wrestling. He began working in the culinary arts at just 15 while he was still just in 10th grade. His first job was in a fish market outside of Philadelphia where he learned to steam blue crabs and butcher whole fresh fish. After high school, Eli moved to Boston to attend Northeastern University where he studied Mechanical Engineering. To fund this endeavor Eli worked at some of Boston’s top restaurants after class. Upon finishing school, Eli worked in his educational field for just three months before receiving a job offer to run a restaurant in Cape Cod. He never looked back and has since worked as a chef in New York City and Philadelphia. Over the past 6 years Eli has traveled the world as a yacht chef on a variety of vessels.
