Rewind to a family cruise in the Caribbean, where, due to the rainy weather, she got to take a peek around the whole ship, and got her first taste of what life at sea would be like. In her teen years, she knew she didn't want to be stuck in an office, so after a stint living in Madrid, Georgie secured her place on a UK cadetship with the cruise company Carnival. On a three-year course for her tickets, where of the 60 people, only three females successfully finished, Georgie chats about what it's like to be a female on the bridge and how she has always been lucky enough to have a supportive (mainly male) crew around her.The episode covers the transitions and opportunities from commercial to the superyacht world and vice versa. After years on a cruise ship bridge, she turned her hand in 2016 to superyachts. Way over qualified as a Deckhand, she enjoyed the hands-on approach and made her way back up the ranks to the helm. Georgie talks about life as a female captain, the trials and tribulations of leading, and her proud moments - queue the St Martin bridge maneuver! She also discusses the differences between cruise and yachting, each with its challenges, including that all-important work-life balance. While Georgie isn't yet ready to leave a life at sea, she has kept her eyes and mind open to future opportunities.
