Hi, my name is Demi, and I’m so excited to welcome you onboard Yacht C’est La Vie!
My passion is creating a warm, relaxed atmosphere through attentive service that makes every guest feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home at sea. I love helping create unforgettable experiences, whether it’s through thoughtful details, positive energy, or simply making each day onboard feel effortless and special.
I’m also a qualified lifestyle, fitness, and nutrition coach with a passion for encouraging others to become stronger, healthier, and more confident while living balanced, fulfilling lives. I genuinely enjoy connecting with people, meeting new faces, and helping others feel their best.

The ocean has always brought me a deep sense of peace — from the sound of the waves to breathtaking sunsets at sea, it’s where I feel calm, grounded, and inspired.
I would describe myself as friendly, positive, sparkling, and deeply caring, and I always aim to bring warmth and good energy to those around me. I look forward to welcoming you onboard C’est La Vie and helping create a truly memorable and unforgettable experience for you!
