Steeve and Ingrid St. Covat have a long yachting and charter background. Together they have owned a number of yachts, Tzigane, number I through IX, and ranging up to 140 + feet! They have sailed extensively in the Mediterranean, and throughout the Caribbean.
Capt. Steeve St. Covat was born in Budapest, Hungary where in his youth he studied engineering, finishing his studies in England. As if a life cruising the Greek Islands, the Riviera, and the Caribbean weren't enough, Steve also worked as a Professional Race Car driver until 1969 for Saab! During this time, through a typographical error, he earned an extra "e" in his name, and for some reason it stuck, becoming something of a trademark.
Ingrid St. Covat, a German, met her husband in Paris, while studying languages, and working as a translator. She has been sailing the world with Steeve for 20 years. Her cuisine specialities include French, German, Mediterranean and West Indian Dishes.
Four languages spoken fluently on board: English, French, German and Hungarian
