Charting Visibility: Andrea Tagliaferro on Yacht Femme & Women in Yachting

In Episode 242 of the Women Offshore Podcast, I sit down with Andrea Tagliaferro, founder of Yacht Femme, a platform born from her desire to amplify women’s voices in the yachting industry. With more than 10 years in yachting—spanning yacht design, marketing, and content—Andrea has transformed Yacht Femme into a multimedia community hub of networking, recognition, and empowerment.

Andrea’s story began with Yacht Dame, created in 2018 after she attended the Monaco Yacht Show. Within a week, she launched a social media project to connect women around her. That project evolved into Yacht Femme, which now includes podcasts, awards, events, and community-driven storytelling.

In our conversation, Andrea shares:

• Her early days designing yachts and navigating a male-dominated sector
• How she merged her skills in marketing and storytelling to create a women-led platform
• The motivations behind launching the Women’s Yachting Awards and expanding Yacht Femme’s offerings
• Her vision for the future: more equity in visibility, more women at the table, and deeper narratives for the industry

Tune in to Episode 242 to hear Andrea’s journey firsthand, and discover how giving women space, voice, and connection can change the way yachting is seen and led.
