About

I am a Spa Stewardess / Stewardess / Masseuse / Beauty Therapist with two seasons of yachting experience across a range of vessels, most recently on a 55m+ private/charter motor yacht in the Caribbean. My previous roles include working on an 85m+ private/busy charter superyacht (Saudi Arabia & Mediterranean) as a Spa Stewardess/Housekeeper, and as a temporary stewardess on a 23m+ motor yacht during maintenance. I am internationally qualified as a Massage Therapist and Beauty Specialist, offering facials (including electrical treatments), body treatments, waxing, tinting, and manicures/pedicures. I also bring 9+ years as a professional makeup artist, and a background as the owner/operator of my own spa business in Cape Town for 4 years, where I developed strong skills in housekeeping, laundry, hygiene, organisation, inventory management, and guest service to the highest standard. I am confident in delivering exceptional service and take great pride in my attention to detail, presentation, and maintaining a positive onboard environment. I also enjoy flower arranging, plant care, and organising inventories, bringing creativity and care to the interior team. Known for my fun, outgoing yet professional nature, I am adaptable, hardworking, and a supportive team player with a strong can-do attitude. Currently in Cape Town I have just completed my WSET Level 2 Award in Wines, I am eager to contribute my skills to a dynamic yacht program. I hold a Schengen and B1B2 Visa. I am currently seeking a position on the same vessel with my fiance, Tristan. Him and I bring a well-rounded and experienced skill set, a strong work ethic, and a shared passion for life at sea. Tristan brings over two years of hands-on experience, over 30 000 miles logged, including three Atlantic Crossings, and has developed extensive knowledge in sports fishing, tender driving, and engine/deck maintenance. Prior to yachting he ran a successful carpentry business as well as completed his Motor Mechanic Diploma. Confident in his skills and intiative, he is safety-conscious, proactive, and always eager to support the wider team. Having been together for 10+ years, we thrive as a team, communicate intuitively, and always aim to bring positive energy, fun, and professionalism to the crew dynamic.
