THE TEAM
Andrea Salafranca, partner of NAS Adventures for 15 years in the Charters business. After 15 years, decided to open her own Charters company with Juan Ignacio Zermeno. Owner of Piel Canela and expert in the event business. Both have combined their strengths and expertise in the market to offer elite clients a luxurious experience with tailored charters, private jets and private transportation in The Baja; Los Cabos and La Paz throughout the beautiful mexican waters.
ANDREA SALAFRANCA
Executive Director
Andrea has been an experienced and passionate mariner with an impressive 14 year old career. She has been shaped throughout her life by her profound connection to the ocean. Her journey brought her to Los Cabos Mexico 23 years ago; a region that has been home and inspiration for her ocean centered lifestyle. This long standing residency has allowed her to dedicate her life and passion to local waters and gain a deep understanding of the maritime environment.
Where she not only ran their own business, but also took on active roles aboard, to learn the trade from inside out.
Her profound love for the ocean and passion to yatching has turned her into an expert at understanding client needs and delivering toptier services.
She will not only connect clients to their desired charters, but will listen to their special needs, and desires, to create personalized, unforgettable experiences.
Now she embarks on a new business: Viento Sur Charters. A Luxury Charter Agency offering her handpicked selection of only the finest yatchs in all of Baja.
JUAN IGNACIO ZERMENO
Events Director
Juan Ignacio began his professional journey during his college years. He mastered Public Relations for events at the early age of 21 and continued refining his skills for over five years, eventually becoming a Director. Later, he launched a business dedicated to weddings and fashion, which he ran successfully for more than a decade.
He then founded a new company focused on bridal “getting ready” services, expanding his expertise in the events industry. Juan Ignacio still owns Piel Canela, and after five years of success in the market, he launched a new venture specializing in luxury events and elite charters across Baja.
His reputation for maintaining top-quality service precedes him, and he remains deeply committed to excellence.
It wasn’t until he met Andrea that both were finally able to dedicate themselves fully to the service industry — offering their clients a meticulous selection of curated charter experiences at Viento Sur Charters.
