During that time Helen crossed the Atlantic 9 times, has been involved in offshore racing, and worked aboard some of the industries most prestigious sail and power yachts in locations spanning much of the globe. Helen’s background as charter crew, passion and deep knowledge of the yacht charter industry makes her perfect for finding the most sublime holiday.
