Sabrina Stedman (in yellow) helps her clients enjoy the good life on superyachts and other one-of-a-kind destinations Sabrina Stedman

Chances are you haven’t heard of Sabrina Stedman. But, she’s the daughter of legendary yachting journalist—Jill Bobrow—who has shared her insider access to many of the world’s superyachts with Sabrina her whole life. As a result of that unique upbringing, Stedman occupies a very exclusive spot at the center of a venn diagram that includes some of the world’s best yachts, most exclusive destinations, and…some of the wealthiest (and publicity shy) people on the planet too.

“Growing up around yachts taught me they’re not just vessels,” she tells me. “They’re passageways to the world’s most remote, exquisite corners—offering the best service and showcasing what fully customized design really looks like. It’s a lifestyle that’s often unreachable any other way.”

And as I learned recently, she brings that unique perspective to the high-touch, boutique consultancy she’s founded to manage the global travel needs of her A-list of private charter clients. “Discerning travelers don’t want a one-off itinerary,” Stedman says. “They want consistency, insider access, and maybe most importantly, someone who gets them.” She not only gets her clients what they want. She “gets” them on personal and emotional levels that you just can’t fake. And she has relationships with superyacht industry insiders that not many people have as well.

Take the time a client floated the idea of heli-skiing in Norway. Instead of doing a google search, she simply texted Espen Øino (the Monaco-based yacht designer and native Norwegian responsible for some of the most breathtaking superyachts ever built) who she knows is a skiing fanatic.

“I figured if anyone knew where to go and want to do, it’d be Espen,” she recalls. Within hours, he responded with tips, locations, and a series of personal photos. “Heli-skiing is not allowed in Norway,” he explained. “But up north, Sweden is only a 15- to 20-minute helicopter ride from the Norwegian coast. We flew over there for the heli-skiing and skiied on the Norwegian side of the border. Skiing and yachting together is the best.”

“I love problem-solving,” she says. “I don’t always know where the answer will come from—but I know it’s only a few phone calls away.”

Like earlier this year, when a client’s girlfriend reached out just three weeks before the start of their charter because she wanted to do something truly special for her partner’s birthday. What did Stedman do? She made a call to a friend who’s a well-known magician, and they orchestrated a bespoke treasure hunt in the Bahamas—complete with a buried treasure chest filled with handwritten notes from friends and family, and a custom-built puzzle box—that culminated in a private magic performance on board. It was theatrical, intimate, and unforgettable—the kind of experience most people wouldn’t be able to pull off in under a month.

In a luxury travel landscape increasingly defined by algorithms, automation, and AI it seems that Stedman offers something refreshingly rare: intuition, taste, and real human connection. Her itineraries are hand-built. Her guidance is informed from experience. And she has a rolodex no one could buy. She’s a superyacht lifestyle architect.

So, if you’re curious about the world’s best-kept travel secrets. She’ll only say, “I know who to call. And when not to post about it.”
