Частная яхта HAWKEYE

Alexandra grew up in Washington D.C. but summered with her family on Cape Cod every year. They had multiple small sailboats at their summer house, so sailing was second nature to her. “My mother and sister were much happier on land” recalls Alexandra. “Often it was just my father and me, careening around Stage Harbor whenever a good blow came up. I would also crew for my father in dinghy races in the bay just in front of our house. I can still hear him screaming ‘we’re luffing, we’re luffing! Trim the sheet!!” Which she did at an early age with precocious aptitude. In addition to boating, she swam competitively from the age of eight right through to her university swim team, winning the championship three out of her four years.

Charter guests love Alexandra for her charm, intellect, energy and wit. She has a BA in French and International Relations and an MBA. She was a management consultant in the UK, a prestigious position that took her all over the world. In 2009 she made her first extreme change with certification and success in a career in interior design. “Then I met a Cornishman who can sail blind and I never really looked back,” she explains. Looking exclusively toward new horizons, Alexandra became a commercially qualified mariner and married the man of her dreams. She says, “Now we do what we love with the person we love every day of our lives. We are living the dream.”

Alexandra has developed a very discerning eye, especially for attention to detail and making guests comfortable. She is also “quite sporty”, and enjoys swimming, yoga, Pilates or plain calisthenics. When guests feel the urge to get moving she will happily organize a cardio workout that is suitable for all ages. On board Hawkeye, her goal is for everyone to have a fabulous experience, to get guests involved in the yachting life, from planning the day’s itinerary in the morning to organizing charades in the evening. It’s a fact, with Alexandra as First Mate, guests are in for a fun filled, rewarding vacation.
