CARLY YENDLE
Senior Recruitment Consultant
With yachting parents, Carly’s whole life has revolved around the yachting industry. She tested crew-life for herself before realising that her talents were better fitted to land-based positions.

Carly is now a leading name in the yachting industry. Carly is based in Antibes and speaks fluent French. She is an adventurer who loves to travel off the beaten track. She enjoys the odd glass of Rosé on the beach that can often lead her to the dance floor!
