Meet The Team

Brook Felsenthal 

Brook grew up in rural Victoria in a keen sailing family where building and racing yachts became his main obsession, later competing at a high level including representing Australia. 

Brook gained a Bachelor of Business in Tourism before heading to Europe in the mid eighties.  It was here that he found he could combine this passion for boats and a career path in Tourism by operating charter flotillas in both Greece & Turkey.  

Returning to Australia, Brook decided to establish Australia's first and only specialist yacht charter brokerage.

Since 1985 Charter World have continued to offer the highest levels of quality service with repeat clients spanning three decades - where he now helps even the grandchildren of his original clients enjoy unforgettable holidays afloat.

Amber Greshner-Cross 

Amber started working for Charter World as her first job at the age of 19, and apart from a year & a bit spent traveling in Europe, has been the first friendly voice on the telephone line for eight years. 

Amber knows the yachts and the crews, as well as having hosted regattas in New Caledonia and groups in the Whitsundays. 

Like Lynn her attention to detail is one of her main attributes to make your holiday nothing less than perfect. 

Amanda Quirk 

Amanda joined the team in 2005 and runs our Final Documents section.  Originally from the IT industry, Amanda brings a wealth of experience and research skills and takes great pride to the presentation of all of our documentation. 

Amanda and her husband Greg experienced their first charter - a bareboat in Croatia last year, and recently this returned from 14 nights with their four children on a 100’ gulet in Turkey.

Katherine Appleford

Katherine is the newest member of our team and is assisting Amber and Amanda in producing high quality documents as well as liaising with our preferred operators.

Katherine is recently engaged and planning her honeymoon aboard in a tropical location to be chosen.

Jason has served as Charter World's IT Trouble Shooter for over a decade, maintaining the networks, websites and office machinery at extremely high levels.  A keen sailor, Jason has chartered across the Pacific and races keel boats on Port Phillip Bay.
