HER father’s sporting career took him across the world by air, land and sea.
Now she is giving today’s rich and famous the opportunity to do the same thanks to her business providing luxury yachts, planes and villas.

Her dad wasn’t just any old sports star either.
In fact, he was one of the best to ever do it in his sport of choice.
He was a world number one, a five-time major champion and, for many, the most gifted talent with a golf club in his hands the sport had seen until a certain Tiger Woods came along.
Figured him out yet?
Yes, that man was none other than Seve Ballesteros.
The Spanish legend was the original Ryder Cup hero, powering Team Europe to four wins and captaining the side for another. He also won The Open in Scotland at the Home of Golf, St Andrews.

He was perhaps the most popular European golfer during his time on tour and won the hearts of British fans thanks to his three Open wins (one at St Andrews and two at Royal Lytham & St Anne’s).
Seve also won two green jackets, triumphing at The Masters in 1980 and 1983.
Woods described him as “one of the most talented and exciting golfers to ever play the game” while various modern stars have named Seve as a hero such as Jon Rahm, Jose Maria Olazabal and Lee Westwood.
He was also largely thought to have been a huge source of inspiration for the 2012 European Ryder Cup team that produced the famous Miracle in Medinah.
To this day, Seve still holds the record for the most European Tour wins all-time.
He sadly died at the age of 54 after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Seve married Carmen Botín O’Shea and the couple had three children.
Javier Ballesteros has followed in his father’s footsteps by pursuing a pro golf career while second son Miguel is involved in his father’s foundation.
Daughter Carmen meanwhile works for the Yugen Group, a company providing first-class travel and accommodation to VIPs.

Yugen say their private flights offer “an unparalleled level of service” while the aircraft themselves are “designed to offer you maximum comfort” and will be “impeccable and stocked with your favourite foods and drinks and with various entertainment alternatives”.
Carmen likes to travel too and has visited many a golf course in her time with her being a keen golfer herself.
She regularly posts old video and photographs of her dad in his pomp, remarking that he was “the best”.
Alongside one clip, Carmen said: “I have no doubt that if it wasn’t for my Father I would be equally a fan of his character… Miss you!”
On the day of Seve’sbirthday last year, Carmen paid tribute to him with a heartfelt Instagram post.

She said: “Happy Birthday Dad. How lucky I am to have you as a father is inexplicable.
“What you have done for golf and how you managed to get where you got is admirable and unrepeatable.
“But above all the trace you have left that I still do not believe. And all the messages that after almost 11 years I still receive… You have some fans who love you and who continue to be inspired by you. But I the most. Thank you for all the strength you give me to continue.
“I admire you and love you more than ever.”
