What is your favourite interior feature on board?
“My favourite feature in the interior on board NOAH is the juice bar. I started studying the science behind juice fasting such as the rules, properties and benefits that it has on our bodies one year ago and have continued to broaden my knowledge on this topic. Therefore, being able to create organic and healthy body cleansing juices for our guests is something I am passionate about.”

What is your one favourite feature on board?
“The jacuzzi and sky deck bar. This gives guests the opportunity to have cocktails with a gorgeous sunset while relaxing in the jacuzzi.”
What is your favourite cocktail to make?

If there was a guest birthday on board, how would you make it memorable?
“In my family we have always woken up to crepe style pancakes with all the toppings and a fruit platter so that is where I would start! I would then personalise the day to them, read their preferences and try and entangle it in everything they do throughout the day. It would be an active day of watersports filled with their favourite snacks and beverages always on hand. I would aim to create evening entertainment to keep them busy and make them special. My ultimate aim is for them to get into bed and be like, ‘wow, that was amazing and everything I needed was always on hand. I felt truly special’.”
What would you be doing if it wasn’t for yachting?
“Working with children in some setting, either in primary school in the UK or in summer camps in the US.”
