About Amy
As a new member of the team and a former yachtie, spending around five years employed on private and charter motor yachts, I experienced first-hand the reality of long days, high standards and close-knit crew life. Working as a stewardess, including in a dual stew/deck role, and supporting high-profile owners both at sea and ashore, I learnt how important personality fit is, not just experience.
Since leaving life at sea, I’ve enjoyed developing my administration skills and consider my new role as Exterior Recruiter the perfect opportunity to utilise these skills whilst remaining connected to the industry.
Alongside yachting, I worked as an assistant to the House Manager of private residences in New York and Miami, supporting daily operations in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, including events and household management. I loved the diverse opportunities afforded to me as a result of my service on yachts, allowing me to grow both professionally and personally in a different setting.
Yachting has given me incredible opportunities to travel, grow, and meet amazing people. It’s demanding but extremely rewarding.
Where you’ll find me at the weekend now, I’m land-based
Outside of work, I love long beach walks and Pilates. I’m always keen to try new restaurants with family and friends, as well as going to the gym, whether it’s to work out, play padel or go for a coffee.
Favourite place I’ve travelled to
I was fortunate enough to travel on numerous occasions to the Caribbean during my time in yachting. It was incredible to experience a less fast-paced routine, resulting in ample downtime to fully appreciate so many aspects of island life, such as the culture, the people, the crystal-clear water, beach days, sunrise hikes, free diving, exploring the islands, dancing to Caribbean music, lots of rum and a truly authentic piña colada. So many happy memories made!
