About Charlie

Charlotte Colburn is a luxury yacht charter broker with 15 years of experience in the superyacht industry. Since joining Edmiston in 2011, she has developed a strong reputation for delivering well-balanced luxury yacht charter experiences, with a particular focus on family travel and carefully curated itineraries.

Areas of Expertise

Charlotte’s expertise lies in organising family-focused charter programmes, with an emphasis on finding quieter, more authentic experiences within well-known destinations. She combines detailed planning with a strong understanding of onboard dynamics, primarily across the Mediterranean, where Greece stands out as a key region within her experience. Drawn to the diversity of the Ionian Islands and Cyclades, she focuses on creating itineraries that balance popular cruising grounds with more relaxed and lesser-known locations, allowing clients to experience a quieter and more authentic side of the destination.
