Superyacht Nanny Founder Nominated as Trailblazer in Yachting

I am thrilled to share that I have been nominated as a Trailblazer in Yachting at the Yacht Femme Awards 2025. This recognition celebrates women making waves across the superyacht industry, and I am deeply honoured to be included among such inspiring leaders.

The nomination is a reflection not only of my work, but of the growing recognition that children’s experiences onboard matter just as much as adults’ — and that luxury family travel deserves the same excellence, care, and safeguarding as every other part of a charter.

Why This Nomination Matters

The superyacht industry has traditionally focused on the guest experience for adults — fine dining, five-star service, and world-class itineraries. Yet for families travelling with children, exceptional childcare is the missing piece.

Through Superyacht Nanny, I’ve worked to change that by:

• Raising Standards: Providing consultancy, safeguarding protocols, and itineraries tailored for children.

• Training Crew & Nannies: Launching the CPD-accredited Professional Superyacht Nanny Training Course.

• Elite Role Referrals: Connecting families with Norland-trained nannies, maternity nurses, watersports childcare specialists, and more.

• Industry Collaboration: Partnering with organisations such as Maritime Training Academy, Freckles Childcare, FunAir, and Newborn Care Solutions.

Being nominated as a Trailblazer acknowledges the importance of this work in shaping the future of family-friendly luxury yachting.

About the Yacht Femme Awards

The Yacht Femme Awards celebrate women across all areas of yachting and the trailblazer category specifically highlights individuals pushing boundaries, driving change, and creating new opportunities within the industry.

It’s an incredible platform for recognising how diverse expertise contributes to making the superyacht experience what it is known and loved for.

Looking Ahead

This nomination motivates me to continue advocating for:

• Dedicated childcare roles on charters to improve guest satisfaction and safety.

• Expanded training for nannies and stews entering UHNW family environments.

• Greater visibility of women entrepreneurs shaping the yachting industry.

I believe that creating safe, seamless, and extraordinary experiences for children not only transforms holidays for families but strengthens the reputation of yachts, brokers, and management companies delivering them.

Being nominated as a Trailblazer in Yachting at the Yacht Femme Awards is an incredible honour. It represents the progress being made in recognising childcare as an essential part of the luxury charter experience — and the impact of elevating standards for both families and professionals.

If you’re a broker, yacht manager, or family looking to ensure that children’s experiences onboard are every bit as exceptional as the adults’, I’d love to connect.
