Q&A with
Top Notch Tabletop Judge
Alene Keenan
Beyond the Table:
Alene Keenan on Wine, Wisdom & What Matters Most
Few names in yachting embody service excellence, humor, and heart quite like Alene Keenan — affectionately known as The Yacht Guru.
Alene Keenan has built a career on transforming service into art. A founding judge of Top Notch Tabletop, she captures what the competition is truly about:
"Seeing stews express themselves through design and detail — and realizing they’re part of something bigger — that’s what makes Top Notch Tabletop so special.”
And when it comes to advice that lasts well beyond the deck?
"Honor what you’ve learned. Every guest interaction, every detail you’ve mastered — it all matters. There’s always a place where your passion and your skill meet. That’s where the magic happens."
Want to bring Alene’s sparkle to your next event, team training, or tasting? She’d love to hear from you
