Fi Williams has lived and breathed boating all her life. Her childhood was spent in the Caribbean and for the ensuing 17 years, she worked with yachts both ashore and afloat, sailing in the finest destinations in the world. During this time, Fi also founded an independent charter agency, and she now brings her astonishing depth and breadth of knowledge to Cecil Wright.
Since setting up her own charter agency, Fi has spent two
decades keeping abreast of the world’s yacht fleets by attending
as many as five charter trade shows a year. Onboard each boat
she will acquaint herself with the crew, taste the chef’s cuisine
and experience first-hand the quality in atmosphere, design and amenities. She comes away with a deep understanding of
the yacht’s defining characteristics: “Boats all look fabulous on a computer screen,” Fi explains, “but I’ve stepped foot on the
majority of our charter yachts and I know exactly what
I’m recommending.”
By listening carefully to a client’s requests, not only does Fi confidently match a guest with a charter boat that will tick all their dream boxes, but she can steer them to choose the best cruising grounds too. “I’ve spent more than 25 years working in the yachting industry and still believe that time spent on the water is one of life’s greatest riches,” says Fi, “I know nearly all the places that we charter, and I can bring personal insight and experience to creating the perfect itinerary.”
Since she started working for Cecil Wright in the Hampshire
office last September, Fi feels that she’s found the best match
for herself. “I’m now part of a very positive team at Cecil Wright,
that has great focus, drive and energy. Chris’s mission is to give
exceptional service to fewer clients, which has always been my
own philosophy, too.”
