Trina’s journey into the world of yachting began in her hometown of Sydney, Australia before she headed for Hamilton Island in the Whitsundays, where her love of the ocean and luxury travel naturally came together. A senior management role with a leading Asia-Pacific charter operator led to a move to New York and CharterWorld in 2007, where she is a go-to expert for clients seeking extraordinary experiences.She has personally cruised some of the world’s most stunning waters, from the Whitsundays and French Polynesia to the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, and beyond.“All of the best vacations I’ve had have been on a yacht,” she says. “It’s a privilege to help clients plan those same kinds of experiences.”

Motor sailer NAVILUX | Croatia

Trina! Wow wow wow! We can’t thank you enough. BEST family vacation of our lives.Every detail was taken care of by the BEST crew and the awesome Captain! Thanks for your super professionalism, we will never forget this sailing experience. Looking forward to doing this in the future again.

Motor yacht LUCKY | Italy

We are on our way home from a really great charter.The itinerary was perfect, we absolutely loved every single stop and we had a slip at a marina every night of the trip. The captain was in total command of everything and even changed the order of the itinerary due to weather which worked out super well. The crew were extremely helpful, friendly and great with the kids.Thank you for your help and recommendations Trina; we had the most amazing time and the charter was a huge success.

Motor yacht LADY AMANDA | Corsica and Sardinia

Trina, we had a great time, Corsica was a great surprise, we were very glad we did start there, and Sardinia is amazing.The captain and crew were all attentive, knowledgeable and helpful and the chef was amazing - definitely a star during the trip.It’s always sad to say goodbye to a fabulous vacation, but we will look to do something similar in summer 2026. Thank you again for your wonderful help in organizing!
