My Present As a Yacht Manager at Fairport Global, I provide dedicated support to both yacht owners and crew. With a passion for the industry and a commitment to delivering seamless management solutions, I assist in most aspects of yacht operations, ensuring efficiency, compliance, and exceptional service. Joining the Fairport Global team has been an exciting journey, and I’m fortunate to work alongside highly knowledgeable professionals whose expertise continues to inspire and elevate my own growth in yacht management.
My Past Growing up in a small beach town in South Africa, I have always been drawn to the sea. What started as a plan to give the yachting industry a try for just one season turned into an incredible 11-year journey, eventually leading me to settle in France. Throughout my time in the industry, I’ve taken on multi-faceted roles in the 25-50M range, gaining hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for every aspect of yacht operations.
My Future To advance within the land-based yachting industry, I aim to continuously learn and develop a deeper understanding of technical aspects, refits, and regulations to better support both owners and crew. All the while, I plan to build strong industry relationships that foster collaboration.
My Motto A positive attitude can get you a long way. The grass is greener where you water it.
My Outside Office Life Sunshine and salt water make me happy. Quality time with my daughter, family, and friends fills my cup. As I embrace the French way of life, I’ve grown to appreciate good wine and great food.
