Remote Personal Assistant to the Captain of a classic Superyacht which has recently completed a 3 year circumnavigation. My role is similar to that of Purser, handling clearance and immigration formalities, expenses, budgeting and reporting (including during shipyard works), crew recruitment and travel, crew contracts, salaries and holidays. I have also been involved in passage planning, excursion planning for owner cruises, maintaining inventories and ordering, from generator and engine spares to no-spill coffee cups.The vessel completed a major refit at a Shipyard in Istanbul, including 80% hull replacement, keel extension, ballast removal and replacement, update of machinery and electronics. During this time I stayed on site in Istanbul, drafting budgets, progress reports, liaising with suppliers, shipyard personnel and management, ship’s agent and crew.
