Corbertt also appointed Wendy Macfarlane to the new job of yacht concierge and Jamie Van Jones joins the Paspaley Pearl by Ponant team as expedition sales executive.

‘It’s an exciting chapter of growth as we continue to lead the way in innovation,’ she said.
‘I look forward to working with Alex and the team as we blend the legacies of two globally renowned names, Paspaley and Ponant.’
