Experience in the Superyacht Industry

Ana began her career working in retail and charter management for a Mexican company representing the Azimut-Benetti Group. Over time, her role expanded to include yacht management, where she contributed to strengthening operational standards by incorporating best practices observed across leading international firms. Since joining Edmiston in 2012, she has arranged 200 plus charters, working with a loyal client base built over many years. Several of her client relationships span close to two decades, reflecting a consistent, relationship-led approach and a deep understanding of evolving client expectations. Her experience covers a wide range of charter types, from classic Mediterranean itineraries to more complex, logistically demanding programmes involving larger groups and extended families.

Approach to Brokerage

Ana takes a highly personalised and intuitive approach to charter brokerage, built on long-term relationships and a detailed understanding of each client’s preferences. She places particular emphasis on consistency, ensuring that each charter builds on the last, evolving alongside the client’s expectations. Her work often involves designing experiences for multi-generational families, where careful planning and attention to detail are essential. This includes not only selecting the right yacht, but ensuring the crew, layout and itinerary work seamlessly for all guests on board. She is particularly focused on the overall experience, from the atmosphere on board to the quality of service and cuisine, recognising that these elements ultimately define the success of a charter.
