TEAM

As an entrepreneur and a passionate yachtsman, my career and lifestyle have allowed me to take on many exciting and dynamic projects building a portfolio of knowledge in the luxury yachting sector. My first exciting venture led me to purchase one of the largest yacht shipyards, gaining invaluable technical knowledge of yacht construction. Following this direction, I pursued the brokerage segment where I was brought onto the management board of a prominent yachting company in Monaco, which specialized in the maintenance and refits of luxury yachts with seven locations from Monaco to la Ciotat. In 2007, I acquired a well-known yacht brokerage company becoming chairman and owner for over six years. In 2013, after deciding to sell, I founded a yacht brokerage company from scratch with a small team of specialists to offer more transparency to clients and to provide customised services in superyachts sales, charter, and management. My favorite yacht is Far blue Southern wind 92 and if I had to choose one location as my favorite, I would say Panarea in the Aeolian Islands.  

As a child, I was fascinated by yachts and ships, and my biggest dream was to work in the maritime industry; today, here I am. With a degree in naval architecture, I bring more than 10 years of experience in the yacht brokerage business, with a clear understanding of yacht ownership, yacht charter and yacht management. I have been working with Anissa for more than six years, and together we share the same vision and, most importantly, the same principles and ethics. Together with Anissa Mediouni, we co-founded NEXT Yachting with the aim of creating a yacht brokerage company that offers a fresh, modern, and creative approach. I aim to continually exceed expectations and deliver results no matter the challenge. This underpins the ethos at NEXT Yachting. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, sailing and expanding my culinary knowledge. Throughout my yachting journey, I have been able to visit many of the world’s most luxurious and iconic yachts. However, just like yachting, there needs to be an emotional tie to make one stand out. For me, that is SAFE HAVEN (Ex NONO) as she was the first superyacht I sold, and like your first love, you never forget her. Among my favourite destinations, Portofino is at the top of my list. It changed my life forever,and that’s priceless. My motto!? Never give up on your dreams; fight to make them happen.

Originally born in the North of France, I started my career at American Express, organising complex business trips for multinational organisations. My grandfather, a speedboat builder, was my inspiration and the one who introduced me to the marine world. Eventually, in 2008, I decided to pursue a career in yachting and move to the French Riviera to start a career in the yachting industry as a Charter Broker in the yachting hotspot of Saint-Tropez. My passion and dedication have helped me build a strong reputation and network within the yachting industry across the French Riviera. I have acquired abundant experience from all my previous roles, and I bring a wealth of knowledge of the world of luxury travel to NEXT Yachting in Monaco, the capital of yachting. My favourite destination is Saint Tropez because of its authentic and chic atmosphere. Whether going for a stroll in the old town or enjoying the vibrant port, the city is always thriving.

My passion for sailing developed very early and led me to the exciting world of Regattas.
I participated in various international regattas and fell in love with the exhilarating events so much that I decided to take on a bigger challenge and became the owner of a professional team, Vita di Mare. With a background in international shipping, I am well versed in the financial aspects of buying and selling vessels which I share with my clients. In my spare time, when I am not sailing, I enjoy cooking and golfing. Above all, I love to explore, in particular, the Norwegian’s Islands where my dream vessel to do so would be the Garcia Exploration 52.

I have always been very passionate about boating, both sail and power. I began my career as a crew member on board a 36-metre schooner-rigged gaff top where I got to learn the ins and outs of yachting. After that, I moved to Cape Town, South Africa,  where I worked for nine years as a yacht advisor and crew volunteer with the National Sea Rescue. I’m always seeking to grow my knowledge of the yachting industry. In 2004, I became an EMCI Registered Yacht Advisor and I currently attend a superyacht management course at the Maritime Training Academy to be able to always be up to date with the industry standards. In my free time, I love to travel, my favourite destination is the Hebrides in Scotland. The smell of turf fire in the air, the early morning fog while sipping a coffee, endless views, fantastic legends and quaint pubs – the Classic Malt Cruise is still on my bucket list.  My favourite yacht was the first yacht I bought with my husband. She was a Trisbal 42, called Taniwha, built in aluminium with a lifting keel, cutter rig and steered with a tiller where we lived on for over six years before selling her.
