CAPTAIN - Charlotte "Charlie" - French
Charlotte “Charlie” (1984) is a highly accomplished sailor who was, quite literally, born into life at sea. By the time she reached adulthood, she had already sailed extensively across the Caribbean, the Atlantic, and the west coast of Africa. Over the years, Charlie has competed in numerous prestigious inshore and offshore regattas, including Les Régates Royales de Cannes, Cowes Week, and the Antigua to Bermuda Race, to name just a few. She has raced aboard an impressive fleet of iconic classic yachts—both large and small—such as the 80ft Mariella (1938), the 38m Mariette (1915), Outlaw, Nordwind, Véronique, and many more.

Her voyages have taken her across the globe, from tropical waters to both the Arctic and Antarctic regions. In New Zealand, Charlie single-handedly purchased and restored a 1970s IOR racing yacht, later sailing her across two oceans to Europe. With her Valiant, she has competed in events such as Antigua Classic Yacht Week, and most recently achieved outstanding success in the 2025 Cannes to Malta Regatta—a demanding 606-nautical-mile offshore race.

Her experience on board spans every department, from deck operations to interior and galley, as well as engineering and command—making her a truly versatile and capable leader. We are immensely proud to have Charlie at the helm of sailing yacht YUME, leading our all-female crew with expertise, determination, and passion.
