Midweek interview with Sea Dream Yacht Club’s Julie Denovan

Midweek interview with Sea Dream Yacht Club’s Julie Denovan

Sea Dream Yacht Club’s regional sales director wasn’t able to provide a free chartered yacht for this interview, so we Skyped her from the bathtub with our toy boats instead.

The challenge for the industry is…

SeaDream is a small company with a niche product so the challenge is ensuring agents suggest us when appropriate for their clients.

The things I like about my job are…

Loving and believing in the product.  Hearing from agents when their first-time clients rebook onboard.

If I didn’t work in travel, I would be…

In the police force – a criminal detective of course!

My proudest moment was…

Introducing SeaDream to the market and seeing the business grow and grow.

The naughtiest thing I ever did was…

A surprise reunion meeting on a SeaDream yacht club voyage with a fun Canadian couple we had sailed with previously.

I try to relax by….

Mmmm – that is still a work in progress but being with friends is the best relaxation.

The best advice I’ve ever received was…

Always stay a minimum of 3 nights.

If I can, I always try to avoid…

Crowds.

If I won a $1 million lottery (aside from travelling), I would…

Charter SeaDream and invite my family and friends aboard to share the joy.

If I could be someone else for one day, I would be…

An advisor to the PM.

I’ve always wanted to travel to…

Orange, NSW – it sounds interesting and I like a country drive.

My favourite holiday was…

Always the last one!
