Karyn Smedts

General Manager

Karyn joined YOTI in 2012 and quickly became an integral part of the team. Today she oversees the sales team and day-to-day operations of the business, also working closely with Tim Vine on international sales, importation and registrations.

With over 14 years in the industry, Karyn has built up a wealth of knowledge in the “boring” side of boat ownership, which she happens to love: registration (particularly international registrations), importation, contracts, title and everything in between.

Before YOTI, Karyn spent some 15 years in financial services as an Operations Manager and Financial Adviser with respected organisations in both Australia and Canada. That background gives her a sharp eye for detail and a thorough understanding of the paperwork behind every transaction, so clients can be confident their purchase is in safe hands from handshake to handover, wherever the boat is heading.
