Pretty in Pink Tablescapes
On Wednesdays we SET pink, a rule I take very seriously onboard! All jokes aside, I'm a girly girl through & through, so I jump at the chance to use pink on the table. With the sparkly blue ocean as a backdrop, pink pops on the table & just looks stunning. It...
2019 – MUST Follow Accounts
Fact. I SERIOUSLY adore the entire design process behind every table setting. Working with various textures, flowers & colour schemes to ensure every meal is an elaborate occasion is the perfect creative escape on Charter. When I started yachting, I would rely...
Crew Christmas
December is officially here & I couldn't be happier. Christmas is by far my favourite time of year, the hustle & bustle, copious amounts of hot chocolate & apple cider...what's not to love! My first Christmas away from home was on a yacht in the Bahamas....
Pillow Heaven
Let's start by taking a nap or two. Good old Winnie the Pooh knew the importance of a solid nap! Anyone else a huge fan of naps & pretty things?! If so, todays blog post is for you! When I started on my most recent yacht, the pillows on our beds were over 4 years...
Atlantic Crossing Party!
Crossings have become a right of passage in yachting. Captains typically end up wearing a bedsheet & become King Neptune while first time crossing crew are subjected to all sorts of initiations! I always find it a great time for the crew to bond before another...
Shipyard Activities
And just like that, another Med season is done & dusted. Most yachts are either getting ready to cross to the Caribbean or I've heard of several heading to the Maldives (you lucky people!) or maybe you're settling into a winter on the dock. When I started...
James Bond Dinner
It's no secret that I LIVE for themed events, I studied Event Management at University & it's an industry I hope to revisit one day. I love every single aspect of planning these large events & when the Boss asked me to plan a surprise birthday party for one of...
Designing a Tablesetting
It's no secret, table settings are my JAM. I love everything about the planning stages, getting creative & seeing the look of excitement on the guests faces when they first walk out to the table. So you can imagine my excitement when I recently spoke with Emma...
Cabin Deco
H ome is where the anchor drops. Literally. I've always been that stewardess who decorates her cabin with small trinkets from home or a collection of family photographs. To be honest though, it was only after meeting Ben about 5 years ago, that I realized just...
Nautical Night!
Every Yacht stew out there will admit to doing a handful of 'nautical' themed nights. It's an easy go-to, and charter guests love it! Over the years, I've created a fool-proof plan to make it as enjoyable as possible for the guests & quick for the stews set up. 1)...
