2nd Stewardess – Amber Petroelje
Amber was born and raised on a farm in Holland Michigan where she developed a love for nature and an incredible work ethic. At the age of eighteen she moved to Hawaii to be a nanny and although she only planned on living there for a year, the island life sucked her in and she ended up staying for almost a decade. The ocean became a huge passion of hers and she spent many years working for a nonprofit organization where she was heavily involved in the education department, as well as with the research and conservation of humpback whales, sea turtles, dolphins and the Hawaiian marine life in general. During her time in Hawaii she attained a bachelor’s degree in education and in her spare time she could often be found scuba diving, hiking, camping, or participating in a local triathlon. Over the years Amber has jumped at every opportunity to travel or move to new destinations, some of which include, New Zealand, Uganda, Alaska, Iceland, Europe and South East Asia. Throughout these adventures Amber spent time working at a winery where she was thrilled to gain knowledge and experience in the world of wine. She also spent time working as a barista where she was able to learn the skill of latte art and gain a knowledge of coffee that matched her enthusiasm for it. Yachting has provided her the opportunity to combine her love of high-end hospitality with the adventurous and traveling nature that the industry provides.
