Ciara Duggan

Deckhand

Having spent most of her childhood and adolescence traveling on her family’s 45-foot sailing catamaran, yachting seemed like a natural career choice for Ciara. Ciara met Paget while he was working on her family’s boat and he introduced her to the yachting industry. She got her first taste of yachtie life at 17 working as the sole stew and crew cook on a 27-meter sailboat in Spain. Since then, Ciara has worked extensively as sole stew, chef and first mate, running small yachts with her boyfriend Paget. Living year-round on Parsifal, she knows the boat inside and out, making her a force to be reckoned with. This charter season, Ciara steps in as a deckhand and although she has been dating her boyfriend Paget for over four years, they have never worked in the same department.

Jenna MacGillivray

Chief Stewardess

Originally from Canada, Jenna wasn’t planning a career in yachting, but once she was bitten by the travel bug, she couldn’t turn away from the lifestyle it provided. She hopped aboard her first yacht in 2004 and worked her way up over the years to Chief Stewardess. She took a brief break and headed ashore to work as a social worker, but quickly missed the yachtie life and returned back to sea. She is a hard-working Chief Stew with an eye for detail and taste for perfection. From her tablescapes to the way she manages her crew, nothing is left unfinished when she is in charge. She doesn’t like to be challenged and holds her team to her high standards. If someone isn’t performing to her level, Jenna is not a coddler, and will be quick to tell him them what they are doing wrong. But when the work is done and the charter guests are gone, this girl boss does have a sarcastic sense of humor and is always ready to party.
