How We Began
Joined the Yachting Indusrty in 2009
Before the 2008 recession, I was living the high life as a Corporate Flight Attendant, jetting around the world with celebrities and top-tier clients.
But when the economy crashed, even the ultra-wealthy cut back, and my nonstop schedule came to a screeching halt.
Overnight, I went from earning $300+ a day to juggling $10-an-hour jobs just to stay afloat. Burned out and searching for a lifeline, I turned to Craigslist where I stumbled upon the job that changed everything...
Had No Idea Ft. Lauderdale was the Yachting Capital of the World!
In 2009, I came across a Craigslist listing for a front desk position at a luxury yacht crew agency. I didn’t know a thing about yachts or crew placement, but it paid $15 an hour and I needed a fresh start.
What began as a clerical job quickly turned into something much bigger. Within months, I was interviewing crew and learning the ins and outs of an industry I never knew existed. The energy, the people, the stories,
I was captivated.
After six years of helping others land their dream jobs at sea, I realized it was my turn. So in July 2015, I packed up my office supplies and stepped aboard.
When a Leap of Faith turns Epic
With zero boating experience, all I had to offer was a strong hospitality background and a relentless work ethic.
I started at the bottom scrubbing boats in shipyards, tackling dirty jobs, and taking whatever work came my way, inside and out.
Every day was a crash course. Before long, I became a freelance sole Deck/Stew on boats under 100', juggling everything from elegant table settings to bilge pumps. I got paid to cruise the Bahamas on repeat and run boats up and down the coast, discovering charming harbor towns along the way.
Not bad for a Craigslist career pivot.
But the biggest surprise? I had a knack for outfitting and organizing, turns out, transforming chaos into calm on a yacht is my kind of fun.
CONVERTING MY YACHT EXPERIENCE TO OUTFITTING AND ORGANIZING WAS EASY!
In the world of freelance yachting, it’s common to step aboard a boat that’s disorganized, understocked, and missing everyday essentials from galley tools to proper wine glasses.
My natural instinct was always to clean out lockers, toss expired items, streamline spaces, and create organized shopping lists. After doing this for years, captains and owners kept calling me back, which led to the launch of Carrie’s Space Outfitting (CSO).
For the first five years, I personally handled the shopping, billing, and returns for every project. In 2025, I created the Yacht Shopping Mall, an online hub featuring curated products organized by room or function with direct Amazon links.
Now, clients shop and manage returns through their own Amazon accounts while my Space Pros & I come aboard to unbox, organize, stock, and fully prepare the yacht for life onboard.
All you have to do is step aboard, pour a glass of wine, and sail away.
