About us
Khara and her close‑knit team have mastered every facet of interior yacht operations, working together with a level of precision, professionalism and unity that has become their signature. While Khara’s career reflects an unwavering drive to grow, refining her expertise and building strong industry relationships, her team has been an essential part of that journey, supporting one another along the way.
Her path ultimately led to the prestigious role of Purser, widely regarded as the pinnacle position for interior crew. For many, reaching this level would be the culmination of a career. For Khara, it became a turning point.
Anyone in yachting understands the reality: long hours, mental and physical strain and the constant pressure to deliver an exceptional service. As a Purser, Khara found herself working around the clock, even during time off, handling critical administrative tasks to keep operations running smoothly.
Through these experiences, a powerful question began to surface:
What if someone could take on the excess administrative load? What if interior teams could focus more on guest experience instead of endless paperwork? What about captains on small and mid‑sized yachts who shoulder Purser duties on top of everything else… What if they had reliable support?
These reflections, shaped by both Khara’s leadership and her team’s collective insight, sparked the creation of SSP.
Khara is a hardworking, dedicated professional with just under 2 decades in the yachting industry, including a strong background as a Purser. Known for her organisational skills and ability to manage multiple tasks efficiently, she’s passionate about supporting yacht operations and making life easier for crew and captains alike.
Outside of work, Khara loves spending time with her family and is a proud mum to her little boy. She’s a social person who enjoys meeting new people, exploring new places, dining out at restaurants, and staying active through exercise.
