Celine Robins

My Present
Greetings! My name is Celine Robins, and I am a Yacht Management Executive at Fairport with a deep-rooted passion for the yachting industry. My journey has been shaped by diverse experiences, educational achievements, and a commitment to delivering exceptional yacht management solutions.

At Fairport, I currently serve as a Yacht Management Executive, where I integrate Yacht Management with Northrop & Johnson. I believe that yacht ownership is not just an acquisition but a significant milestone that should embody luxury and personal enjoyment.

My role revolves around ensuring that every yacht acquisition translates into an extraordinary experience for the owner. I maintain continuous engagement with yacht brokers and owners, nurturing relationships that pave the way for larger yacht acquisitions. I also ensure that our clients receive the highest level of care and attention, addressing any challenges that come with yacht ownership.

My Past
My professional journey began with a strong academic foundation in Management and Economics from Paris' Panthéon-Sorbonne University. I furthered my education with an MBA from Clark University in Boston and a Post-Graduate degree in Entrepreneurship from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

My career in yachting started as an Operations Manager at the Rodriguez Group, where I worked with prestigious brands such as Mangusta, Leopard, Astondoa, and International Shipyard Ancona. Afterward, I spent six rewarding years leading Invictus Magazine, where I had the opportunity to expand my expertise in the industry. I then ventured into entrepreneurship, establishing my own yacht management company, which was acquired by IYC in 2022. I assumed the role of Global Director of Yacht Management, where I contributed to the growth and innovation in yacht management.

My Future
Looking ahead, I am committed to driving innovation and enhancing the success of our yacht management services. I lead the development and implementation of cutting-edge technology within our operations, with a particular focus on AI. By leveraging AI, we improve efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, delivering exceptional value to our clients. Monthly AI-generated reports will help maintain transparency with yacht and charter brokers as well as the owner's team, empowering them with informed decision-making. I also work closely with our Marketing team to showcase Fairport’s technological advancements to the global audience, solidifying our position as a leader in the yacht management industry.
