Kristie Kaighin

Founder

Kristie’s passion for travel eventually lead her away from the Melbourne corporate world and a career in Project Management. Skilled at information gathering, and with a heartfelt love of Australia’s Whitsunday Islands, Kristie uprooted her life and with her husband moved north to found Whitsunday Holidays. Building a handpicked boutique team of travel professionals and a growing portfolio of luxury homes, word quickly spread about Kristie’s commitment to first class customer service, unique luxury product, and friendly, efficient service available 7 days a week. Living locally gave Kristie the opportunity to get to know the luxury yacht charters and their crews arriving into world-class Hamilton Island Marina, so the establishment of Whitsunday Luxury Yacht Charters was a natural progression. Luxury Yacht Charter World is an extension of the expertise, knowledge, and commitment that drives Kristie’s leadership and high regard amongst operators in the luxury yacht charter world.

Stacey Marsh

Reservations Consultant

Stacey’s energy and commitment to tourism and travel began way back in 2004, when she made the decision to leave a job in accounting and move to a tropical paradise. Her dedication and resourcefulness quickly lead to positions with the Whitsunday Tourist Information Centre, Destination Whitsundays, and Sunsail Yacht Charters. The invaluable knowledge and experience she has gained and gathered since, together with her passion for personal service, makes Stacey the perfect asset to the Luxury Yacht Charter World team.
