Introducing Your Crew
-
Charlotte grew up in New York City, sailing on her family's Seafarer 31. At the age of six, she began sailing dinghies at her local yacht club. She became active in her yacht club's PHRF racing and crewed in regattas up to the national level. Charlotte further pursued her passion by teaching sailing at Manhattan Sailing School and Hudson River Community Sailing, all while completing her studies in Psychology and Sociology at Hunter College. In 2012, Charlotte moved to the BVI to work as a charter captain and sailing instructor.
Over the last seven summers, she has captained charters across Greece, Italy, Spain, France, and Croatia, as well as run charters in French Polynesia and Thailand during the shoulder seasons. She has 19 years of sailing instruction experience, over 25,000 nautical miles offshore delivering yachts, and holds both USCG and BVI Captain's licenses. In her spare time, she can be found island-hopping, hiking, reading, racing in regattas around the Caribbean, throwing extravagant dinner parties, diving, and occasionally falling off surfboards.
