Experience

M/Y Ventum Maris

I completed two successful seasons, including an Atlantic crossing and a demanding Mediterranean schedule of 10 consecutive weeks with one-day turnovers. I adeptly managed breakfast and assisted dinner service, ensuring high guest satisfaction through attentive service and occasional cocktail preparation. My housekeeping responsibilities included thorough interior cleaning, organizing storage areas, and overseeing guest luggage and laundry. I collaborated with the Chief Stew to train new team members and assisted with inventory management for provisions and toiletries. Additionally, I conducted detailed inspections of linens and tableware, maintained floral arrangements, and reported any damages in the yacht's interior, all while thriving in a fast-paced environment.

During a boss trip with eight guests, I ensured high housekeeping standards by meticulously cleaning guest cabins and managing laundry, logging and returning items efficiently. While guests were off the yacht, I detailed both guest cabins and common areas to maintain an impeccable environment. Additionally, I oversaw crew areas, setting up and clearing for lunch and dinner, while also handling crew laundry and linens on a daily basis.
