Chief Stewardesses, Flight Attendants & Villa Managers
Understanding the professionals who decide what your guests experience
You can create the most beautiful amenity kit in the world.
But if the Chief Stewardess doesn't want to display it,
it stays in storage.
Understanding who controls placement—and what they actually need—is essential to any brand partnership in this space.
Each controls what products enter their environment—and how they're presented to guests.
Manages all interior operations on superyachts. Controls inventory, sets the table, curates the guest experience. Often called the "CEO of the Interior."
Solo operator on most private jets. Manages catering, safety, and cabin experience simultaneously. Works in a confined space with limited storage.
Oversees property operations including pre-stocking, housekeeping, and guest services. Often manages multiple properties for a rental company.
On a superyacht, the Chief Stew is responsible for everything the guest sees, touches, and experiences inside the vessel. She manages inventory, coordinates service, and creates the atmosphere.
Her primary concern: Creating memorable moments for guests without going over budget or dealing with difficult procurement in remote ports.
Her reality: She's constantly looking for ways to impress VIP guests—but yacht suppliers often offer the same generic products everyone else uses.
When we provide her with pre-assembled, beautifully curated arrival kits, we're solving a real operational problem while helping her deliver an exceptional experience.
Yachts move constantly—Monaco today, Sardinia tomorrow. She needs products that can be shipped to any marina with minimal hassle.
Standard yacht suppliers offer the same products to every vessel. She wants something that makes "her" yacht feel special.
When a guest asks "what is this beautiful product?", she wants an answer that impresses. Brand heritage and provenance matter.
Crew are increasingly eco-conscious. Single-use plastic is frowned upon. Products in refillable or biodegradable packaging win favor.
Storage is limited on yachts. She needs products that fit in bathroom vanities and look appropriate for the space.
The APA budget is finite. If your product is positioned as a "gift from the broker," it doesn't come out of her budget at all.
The biggest fear for a Chief Stew is running out of the right brand in the middle of a charter—and not being able to find it locally.
This drives them to over-stock standard items. But it also creates an opportunity:
If you can guarantee consistent supply and easy reordering, you become a preferred partner, not just a vendor.
We provide ready-to-display arrival kits. No assembly required. She opens the box, arranges the products, and the cabin looks exceptional in minutes.
Each kit includes a small "Cheat Sheet" with the brand story. "This oil is made from olives grown on a volcanic island in Sicily." She can share this with guests—making her look knowledgeable.
We maintain stock at key hubs: Antibes, Fort Lauderdale, Monaco. Wherever the yacht goes in the Mediterranean or Caribbean, supply is nearby.
We offer products for the crew to try themselves. If the Chief Stew personally loves your sunscreen, she'll recommend it to every guest.
Positioned as "Broker's Gift" or "Welcome Amenity," the products don't come out of her APA budget. She gets premium products at no cost to her operation.
On a private jet, the Flight Attendant works alone. There's no crew to delegate to. She manages catering, safety briefings, cabin service, and amenities—all while navigating a galley the size of a closet.
Her constraint: Space. A Gulfstream G650 has limited storage. Every item must be compact, multi-functional, and easy to distribute.
Her workflow: Service flows forward-to-aft. Amenities are typically placed on the seat before passengers board, or distributed from the lavatory.
The "Seat Drop"—a small pouch of essentials placed on the captain's chair—is the primary touchpoint for brand placement.
Travel-friendly sizes that fit in limited galley storage. Pouches, not bulky boxes. Easy to hand out, easy to stow.
Strong fragrances can cause nausea in pressurized cabins. Products should be subtle—"Clean Linen" or "White Tea," not heavy ouds.
Dry cabin air is the #1 passenger complaint. Lip balm, face mist, hydration sachets, and rich hand cream are highly valued.
Long-haul flights need sleep aids: silk masks, compression socks (stylish ones), melatonin, and circadian-support products.
Unlike commercial first class where kits are often discarded, private jet amenities should feel valuable enough to keep.
Turnaround times are tight. The FA needs to set up quickly. Pre-assembled pouches that she can place in 30 seconds work best.
A leather pouch placed on the captain's chair before boarding.
Inside: lip balm (crucial at altitude), cashmere socks, silk sleep mask, hydration sachet, and a small hand cream.
Each item solves a real problem passengers face on long flights.
The guest appreciates the functionality. The FA looks thoughtful.
FBOs (Fixed Base Operators) are the private terminals where jets refuel and passengers wait. High-end FBOs like Signature Flight Support offer private suites and lounges.
The Opportunity: Brand placement in FBO restrooms and lounges creates the first scent impression—before passengers even board the aircraft.
Logistics Advantage: FBOs are easier to service than moving aircraft. A partnership with Signature or Atlantic Aviation means consistent brand presence across their network.
The kits can be loaded onto jets during the fueling process—seamless integration into existing workflow.
| Partner | Type | Opportunity | Approach |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apollo Jets | Broker | "The Apollo Standard" service promise | Co-branded kit for all Apollo bookings |
| Magellan Jets | Membership | Honeymoon & anniversary packages | Special occasion kits |

Villa Managers operate differently from yacht and aviation gatekeepers. They oversee properties that remain static—the challenge is making each stay feel fresh and personalized.
Pre-Stocking Model: Unlike yachts that provision port-to-port, villas use local suppliers and concierges to stock before arrival. Companies like LVH Global coordinate this service.
The "First Hour": Guests arrive tired from travel. The first hour—discovering the property, unpacking, settling in—sets the tone for the entire stay.
Full Control: Unlike shared spaces, the villa manager controls every bathroom, every welcome hamper, every detail of the guest experience.
Replace all generic amenities with your brand. Master bath gets the premium collection. Guest baths get coordinated sets. Poolside gets sunscreen stations.
A curated basket on the kitchen island: artisan snacks, branded candle, cashmere throw, and a high-end bathroom set. Not generic fruit and crackers.
High-end villas offer unpacking services. Stewards place clothes in drawers lined with scented sachets. Your fragrance on their clothes for the entire stay.
Reef-safe sunscreen, after-sun oil, lip balm with SPF. Positioned as "house amenities" available throughout the stay. High-visibility, daily use.
Instead of generic grocery items, the pantry is stocked with artisan brands that have partnered with the rental agency. Elevated snacking.
Signature candle or room spray used before arrival. The villa has a "scent identity." Guests associate the fragrance with the entire experience.
| Partner | Portfolio | Guest Profile | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|---|
| LVH Global | 500+ luxury villas worldwide | $20M+ NW families | Full bath takeover, unpack ritual |
| WIMCO | Caribbean & European specialists | Repeat luxury travelers | Welcome hamper upgrade |
| Inspirato | Membership-based rentals | Affluent families | Consistent member experience |
| Exclusive Resorts | Owned properties, club model | Ultra-premium segment | Fleet-wide standardization |
| Quintess | Destination club | Corporate executives | Business travel amenities |
The Chief Stew or Villa Manager needs to know what your product is.
Not to sell it—but to answer when the guest inevitably asks:
"This is lovely. Where is it from?"
A small "Cheat Sheet" card makes her look knowledgeable.
She becomes your brand ambassador.
Each kit includes a small card with key talking points about your brand. This isn't marketing material for the guest—it's a reference for the crew.
Format: Business card size. Discreet. One side has the brand story. The other has the hero ingredients or unique selling points.
Example: "This body oil is made from olives grown on a volcanic island off the coast of Sicily. The volcanic soil gives the oil its distinctive mineral quality."
When the Chief Stew shares this story, the guest is impressed—both by the product and by the attentive service. Everyone wins.
The most powerful recommendation comes from personal experience. When the Chief Stew genuinely loves your sunscreen, she'll recommend it with conviction.
Strategy: Include samples for crew use—not just guest inventory. Let them try the products themselves.
Incentive Program: "Send us a photo of the setup in the guest cabin, get a free kit for yourself." This creates documentation of placements while building loyalty.
Yacht crew work hard in sun and salt. Skincare and sun protection aren't luxuries for them—they're daily necessities. High-quality products become genuinely appreciated.
Yacht crew are increasingly environmentally conscious. They see firsthand how plastic pollution affects the oceans they sail. Single-use plastics are actively discouraged on many vessels.
What wins: Solid bars (shampoo, conditioner), refillable aluminum bottles, biodegradable packaging, reef-safe formulations.
What loses: Excessive plastic packaging, products that can pollute the water, anything that looks wasteful.
Brands with strong sustainability credentials have a real advantage with gatekeepers. It aligns with crew values and removes friction from the placement decision.
National Marine Suppliers and Fiona's Atelier are the companies that actually stock the yachts. They're the "Amazon" of the superyacht world.
When a Chief Stew orders "sunscreen," these provisioners decide which brand to send. Securing "Preferred Status" with them means your product gets recommended first.
Strategy: Build relationships with provisioners in key hubs. Offer competitive wholesale pricing and marketing support. Make it easy for them to recommend you.
This is B2B work that happens behind the scenes—but it directly impacts how often your brand appears on yachts.
| Location | Type | Season | Primary Partners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antibes / Nice | Marina Hub | May - October | National Marine Suppliers |
| Monaco | Marina Hub | Grand Prix, Yacht Show | Monaco Yacht Club, Burgess |
| Fort Lauderdale | Marina Hub | November - April | Fiona's Atelier |
| Teterboro (NJ) | FBO Hub | Year-round | Signature Flight Support |
| Van Nuys (CA) | FBO Hub | Year-round | Atlantic Aviation |
| St. Barths | Seasonal | December - January | Villa agencies, marina |
Subtle codes on packaging: "Scan to reorder for your home." Tracks engagement, enables direct purchase, measures which placements convert.
