Bec & Dom
Our experience thus far with Virtual Pursers has been a very positive one. The depth of Virtual Purser’s network of contacts and knowledge within the industry has proven to be an added benefit to what is already a service of the highest standard. On a large project such as this, the Purser has to be dynamic enough to handle their tasks with a high degree of independence, and using a Virtual Purser allows them to do so without distraction. Furthermore, their invoicing structure allows for a simple and transparent payment process. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship with Virtual Pursers well into the future.
N. Roche
We are delighted to have discovered VP; Bec goes above and beyond and takes the right initiatives to get the job done in the most efficient way, with her experience in the yachting industry proving invaluable in providing appropriate and reliable support. It has been an absolute godsend knowing that deadlines are being met and allowing us more time to focus where it is most needed onboard, we simply couldn’t be without her!
L. Piasente
Such an innovative idea that just makes sense. We are grateful for their efforts and contributions, and thoroughly enjoyed working with their team.
M. Slater, Yacht Broker
I was sceptical at first, but the process was easier than I had anticipated, and I have seen first-hand the significant impact that VP has made to the running of our program. Their industry knowledge, attention to detail, and professionalism are prevalent in everything that they do.
M. Perriti
Thank you, ladies! You can easily tell that Dom & Bec are passionate about what they do. Their forward thinking and planning were beyond our expectations, an utter delight to work with, we highly recommend their services.
C. O’Sullivan
It has been an unequivocal pleasure working with Virtual Pursers. Having the flexibility of the additional support week in-and-out has proven priceless. Their professionalism and focus have been outstanding, a smooth and easy process, always meeting deadlines and alleviating my workload, allowing me to channel my focus onboard where it is needed most.
R. Buck
I found Bec to be competent and trustworthy, with a great sense of maturity, handling stressful situations with grace. Bec further impressed me with her overall demeanour, her attitude and adaptability, and her incredible ability to deliver on all levels of expectation.
J. Hall
I would recommend Dominique to any Captain or Yacht Owner with no hesitation. She is professional, pleasant and very honest, she is an asset to any corporation, always striving for the best.
G. Smith
I was introduced to VP as a solution when my admin assistant was forced to focus solely on our marketing. Today I have a scalable team of assistants with in depth yachting knowledge which, apart from handling the mundane admin tasks, go and solve every challenge thrown at them. This has decreased my personal workload and further increased the quality and scope of our services. Now our Pocket Superyacht owners have Invisible Superyacht Pursers on board!
