The morning of the 8th of November 2017 I hopped on a train for Zurich and when I got home that evening I was working for Boataffair already. The meeting allowed me to meet and get to know in person the two Co-Founders, husband and wife Adrian and Natalya. We had an amazing couple of hours where they introduced me to the Boataffair model. Then, we discussed what my role would be and they were very open about this. One of my highlights so far? There are many but if I had to choose one I would definitely mention my trip with Adrian to Dusseldorf for one of the biggest Boat Shows ever.

Just before Christmas, I had received a phone call from a UK-based transformational coach, who was interested in chartering a yacht to host a retreat in spring 2018 in Greece. She was very excited to explain about the coaching programme she is doing with her female clients. The programme, she enthusiastically explained, focuses on supporting and enabling women to drive change in their lives, break through the old and achieve new passions. This would be her first retreat incorporated into the programme and she had very high standards of quality and customisation she required for her envisaged retreat to work right. And she thought the best place to do it will be on a boat.

On the 24th of January 2018 co-founder and CEO Adrian Walker and me took-off towards the 2018 Boot Düsseldorf Boat Show. The plan was simple, stay at the show for two days and raise as much awareness as we could about Boataffair. To do so, we wanted to talk to quality boat owners and charter companies, marinas, potential renters and any other stakeholder that share Boataffair’s values.
