Yvonne Stern
Charter Broker
Yvonne was born and raised in Sweden and has worked and traveled extensively all over the globe. Through her travels she gained considerable experience in international logistics, administration, yacht racing and cruising.
She has over 30,000 offshore miles logged, including two Atlantic crossings. Serving as Chief Stewardess and race crew, she spent more than three years onboard the iconic 1934 America’s Cup J-class yacht ENDEAVOUR. Notable regattas include St. Barth’s bucket, Antigua Classic Regatta and the momentous America’s Cup Jubilee in 2001 in Cowes, England. After ENDEAVOUR she lived and worked in New Zealand. She was part of the crew on Team Stars and Stripes, the VIP spectator boat during the 2003 America’s Cup. Returning to Europe, she attended culinary school in Luzern, Switzerland. After culinary school she worked as Charter Chef on superyachts based in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

Yvonne has always had a passion for sailing. In late 2004 she began working in team logistics for USA’s BMW Oracle and the French Team K-Challenge in the 32nd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain. After the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger elimination, she became the boat manager for the VIP spectator boats. The high energy and multinational environment were a natural fit for her.
Having moved to San Diego as a young adult, she received a bachelor’s degree from the University of California, San Diego. She returned to San Diego in 2007 after 8 years of traveling and has remained in the yachting industry. Joining Fraser in 2018, she's excited to help her clients explore the world, and fuel their passion for travel.

“After an intense working year, a summer holiday aboard a yacht is the perfect relaxation for us. Yvonne from Fraser Yachts understood us well and proposed the best boat and itineraries for us. We’ve cruised around Croatian shore last year and Tuscan archipelago, Corsica this year on Haze, a modern, comfortable, beautiful yacht. Captain Tim, calm, kind, reliable, and his crew, charming, enthusiastic, all smiling, took care of us perfectly on both cruises. We are grateful to Yvonne for her empathy, attention to the details and hard work”.
