'I make the most of being land based'

My Story

My career on the waves as a Purser/Chief Stewardess, led me from Britain to Monaco the long way round, via The U.A.E., Asia and The South Pacific. I picked up fluent French en-route. I make the most of being land based (the stability!) and living in the South of France means my yachty friends are always passing through - definitely the best of both worlds. 

At Y.CO I work on the construction and refit of some of the world’s finest Superyachts. As I spent 12 years at sea and in shipyards during the construction of a few yachts, I understand their capabilities and their requirements.

One of my most memorable experiences was sailing among the lonely archipelagos off Papua New Guinea, part of a round the world cruise to some incredibly remote places.
