LUMIR

Name: Charlie Kinder
Nationality: Australian
Position: Captain
Position details: Captain
Languages: Not specified
Description: Charlie took command of Lumir at just 21 and is one of fewer than two per cent of female superyacht captains worldwide. Raised in the Whitsundays, she grew up on the water and carved her path in a male-dominated industry through determination, skill, and a healthy disregard for “girls can’t do that.” Known for calm leadership, high standards, and running a tight ship; with a smile (most days) and having a very clear plan when things don’t go to plan.

Nationality: Australian
Position: Engineer
Position details: Engineer
Languages: Not specified
Description: Tyron brings over 10 years of experience to the team, starting on deck and working his way into engineering. Known for his dry humour and wealth of experience, he’s an invaluable part of the team and always willing to jump in wherever needed; unless the deck crew have borrowed his tools again and not returned them, in which case all negotiations are off.

As Lumir’s Chief Stewardess, she runs the interior with calm precision, good vibes, and an ability to quietly elevate everything she touches. Outside of work, she’s passionate about travel, food, wellness, and music. With roots in one of the world’s most iconic festival towns, it’s no surprise she has a love for music, if you’re lucky enough, you’ll hear her sing, very well…

Name: Charlie Johnson
Nationality: Australian
Position: First Officer
Position details: First Mate
Languages: Not specified
Description: Charlie 2.0 (aka “Baby Charlie” as he is fondly known onboard) is the crew’s go-to for anything deck related. Ocean-raised and permanently in motion, he keeps operations smooth and the jet skis and tender running. Easy-going until there’s a job to do, then suddenly very efficient. Usually found outside, even when he doesn’t need to be. When he’s not running tenders or keeping the deck immaculate, you’ll likely find him surfing, travelling, or “just checking the swell” for the fifth time that hour.

Name: Poppy Peasland
Nationality: Australian
Position:
Position details: Deckhand
Languages: Not specified
Description: Poppy has been with Lumir for multiple seasons and runs on a simple system: work hard, don’t complain, and never leave a mark unpolished. A strong, reliable deckhand with a can-do attitude and a slightly concerning enthusiasm for anything involving speed, height, or outdoors. Off duty, she’s into CrossFit, surfing, diving, and collecting adrenaline experiences like they’re frequent flyer points.

Name: Eleni Giamoukoglou
Nationality: Australian
Position:
Position details: Second Stewardess
Languages: Not specified
Description: Before yachting, Eleni spent nine years shaping young minds as a school teacher, which explains her extraordinary patience and ability to handle just about anything without raising her voice (except when the deck crew put their laundry in at 4pm). She takes genuine pride in creating relaxed, memorable moments for guests and brings a sense of ease that makes Lumir feel like home. She has also been bitten by a dog at some point in her life, and will absolutely tell you about it if given the chance.
