Neža Kopitar

I am an experienced Service Stewardess with a background on 74–147m private and charter yachts, including high-profile new-build projects and busy Mediterranean/Caribbean programmes. Leveraging a background in law, logistics and competitive athletics, I bring exceptional discipline, resilience, and calm adaptability to large and diverse interior teams. I am looking to join a progressive long-term programme where I can contribute strong service standards, operational organisation and reliable team support.

Service Stewardess at M/Y LEONA (2026-07 – Present)

I joined for a busy Mediterranean charter season, supporting pre-trip preparation and all aspects of guest service throughout each charter. I hold responsibility for the beach club and bar, including setup, presentation, stock readiness and daily service operations.

Service Stewardess at M/Y NIXIE (2026-06 – 2026-07)

I joined during the final setup phase, applying my previous new-build experience to help a 16-person interior team move onboard, organise interior spaces and prepare the vessel for operations.

Service Stewardess at M/Y MY DEEP BLUE (2025-10 – 2026-06)

I joined the project in Germany several months before delivery as part of the original 5-person interior team. I supported the vessel through commissioning, initial owner visits and lunches, followed by the first three-week guest trip.

• New build: assisted with provisioning, inventories, SOP development, warehouse organisation and the setup of service pantries and guest areas.
• Service: delivered fine-dining plated service, family-style dining with silver service and detailed wine presentation as part of a six-person service team.
• Responsibilities: I took ownership of service inventory control during the yachts setup, establishing drystore and pantry organization and building location-based master inventories for service equipment and guest-facing interior accessories. I tracked staged deliveries, identified shortages and outstanding orders, and maintained accurate records as equipment was distributed throughout the vessel.
• Other: helped train and guide newly arriving crew, and supported the HOS with setup and additional responsibilities while the Lead Service was on leave.

Service Stewardess at M/Y OPERA (2025-07 – 2025-09)

I joined for two contrasting owner trips, working within a large interior team and adapting between high-volume family hospitality and more formal late-night service.

• Night shift: worked 6pm–7am, supporting dinner setup and service before completing a full interior reset with two other stewardesses and preparing for breakfast service.
• Late shift: joined from lunch service, continued through dinner and finished with décor, cocktails and service in the onboard bar and nightclub until early morning hours.
• Service: meals for up to 70 guests (buffet), formal silver service dining, frequent guest movements, cocktails, events and overnight resets.

Stewardess at M/Y NAIA (2024-10 – 2025-06)

Completed a nine-month contract within an interior team of 7, working as a floater across service and housekeeping during private and charter operations. Worked the charter Caribbean season and Atlantic crossing from and to Palma.

• Service: beach set ups, all types of service, beverages, table setup and pantry organisation.
• HK: guest cabins, turn-downs, detailing and quick changeovers.
• Other: interior bridge-support watches, inventories and provisioning.
