Jemma Fetton

Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Jemma began her career in the film industry as one of the first female lighting department assistants. Her passion for the sea led to her first hands-on sailing experience when she joined a 12-metre catamaran for a delivery from Cape Town to Miami, USA.
Upon arriving in the USA, Jemma spent the next five years working on various private vessels across the Caribbean, Mediterranean, East and West Coast of the USA, and the South Pacific. Starting as a deckhand, she gradually transitioned into the interior department, ultimately becoming Chief Stewardess after joining a 40-metre new-build sailboat in New Zealand.
In 2006, Jemma moved to the UAE with her partner to manage a small yacht charter company. Since then, she has worked in various maritime-related roles in the UAE, before starting her career in Yacht Management in 2022.
As a Crew Manager at PHOENIX, Jemma oversees all crew-related matters, including recruitment, employment, and day-to-day crew management. Outside of work, when she is not supporting her children in their motorsport racing, Jemma enjoys sailing with her family on their 13.4-metre Bavaria sailboat, berthed at Port Rashid.
