Welcome aboard, I'm Amanda.
Pleased to meet you.
For more than a decade, the yachting industry has been my world.
I’ve worked both onboard as a yacht stewardess and behind the scenes as a charter booking agent, giving me a unique perspective on what makes a truly exceptional experience. Being involved in both the operational and client side of the industry has given me a practical understanding of how things work from every angle, and an appreciation for the details that often make the biggest difference.
Before entering the yachting industry, I spent many years in corporate environments focused on delivering exceptional client outcomes — an experience that continues to shape how I approach service and relationships today.
But truthfully, yachts are only part of the story.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on a mountain property near Wombeyan Caves with my son, a collection of animals, and more projects than I probably should have. One day I might be coordinating a luxury charter on Sydney Harbour; the next, you’ll find me covered in dirt planting trees, repairing fences or working on the land. It’s a very different environment to the harbour, and I like it that way.
I’ve always been someone who values genuine connections over appearances. While I appreciate beautiful experiences and well-run events, I don’t believe luxury needs to feel exclusive or intimidating. The best experiences are often the ones that feel effortless, comfortable and shared with good people.
I’m naturally practical, calm under pressure and known for finding solutions when things don’t quite go to plan. I also have a good sense of humour, which comes in handy in both the yachting industry and everyday life.
You may also spot Lucy from time to time — our cheeky unofficial company mascot, who has developed a small following of her own and occasionally steals the spotlight.
The Yacht Co is simply an extension of that approach — helping people enjoy their time on the water while keeping the process straightforward, honest and enjoyable.
