Hi, my name is Vanessa, the owner and founder of OLS. My husband, daughter and I live in a little village outside Monaco. Our family love to travel and meet people from all walks of life. My favourite time of the day is early morning. I enjoy a coffee, listening to nature while reading up on current affairs and spending time with my family.

I grew up in Malta, where my love for the ocean started. I also met my husband there, and this is where our journey working together onboard yachts began. Before this, I studied and qualified as an accountant. I then moved to London as an exciting opportunity came my way to manage a boutique hotel on Pont Street in Knightsbridge. I continued to manage private properties during my time in London. Having worked many years in this luxury market, I found my passion; working alongside my clients to serve and deliver to the highest standard.

The yachting industry is where I was able to fuse my passion for travel and love for working in the service industry. I found my dream job. I worked my way up to Purser, and with over 20 years of experience, I can confidently say I know exactly how to manage the ins and outs of any yacht to our client’s expected standard. I am now a proud owner of a company I have worked exceptionally hard on to ensure all my clients and their investments are cared for the way they expect them to be. My management style runs through our company values and ethos.
