Amanda Thompson

My Present 

Hello, my name is Amanda and I work as a Crew Compliance Administrator where I enjoy helping captains and crew keep their documents up to date. I also take part in the pre-employment process, checking over crew documents, certifications and licenses and helping to get crew started on their boats. I am always happy to hear from our captains and crew members and believe that a happy crew makes for a great experience for everyone on the yacht.

My Past

I was born and raised in beautiful coastal New Zealand, and I realized my love of traveling at a young age; by the time I was 18, I had spent a year living in Brazil. I returned to New Zealand to graduate from Victoria University with a bachelor’s degree and lived and worked for several years in New Zealand’s capital city Wellington in both the public and corporate sectors before leaving to travel, work and live overseas.

My Future

I always feel at home by the ocean and take the opportunity when I can to be by the water. Getting to know the Mediterranean better is something I want to do in the coming years.

My Motto

If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.

My Outside-office Life

My desire to travel has taken me to the USA, Brazil, the United Kingdom and Europe. Since then, I have lived, worked, and raised my family in England, New Zealand, Australia and Europe.

Fast Facts 

I live in the Loire Valley region of France where I am renovating an old farmhouse.
My spare time is filled with family life, pets, gardening, DIY and learning about French country living.
I relish any opportunity to travel and am usually planning my next getaway.
