Is the grass really greener in yachting, or does commercial shipping offer the balance maritime professionals are actually looking for?
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey is joined by his former First Officer and good friend, Chief Officer Ashley Ogborne, for an honest and frequently hilarious comparison of life aboard yachts and commercial ships.
Ashley shares how philanthropy work in Greece led him towards a Merchant Navy cadetship sponsored by Carnival UK, followed by five years aboard cruise ships. Looking for greater experience, better money and a different way of life, he resigned and moved into yachting in January 2020, just as COVID began shutting the world down.
Already a qualified officer, Ashley mistakenly believed he needed to dock walk for work, creating a memorable introduction to an industry whose language, hierarchy and expectations were very different from the commercial world he knew.
After five and a half years in yachting, Ashley has now returned to commercial shipping and is working aboard ferries in New Zealand. He and James compare the realities of both sectors, including money, rotation, career progression, crew culture and the challenge of building a family life around long periods at sea.
They also discuss the close family atmosphere often found aboard smaller yachts, the compromises that can accompany rotational positions, and the constant temptation to compare your job with somebody else’s supposedly perfect “unicorn gig.”
Ashley explains why he moved to New Zealand, how a chance bridge tour helped open the door to his current position, and why gaining residency is central to his plans to buy land and eventually establish a wellness retreat.
But has he left yachting permanently?
Not necessarily.

Could one of the world’s most powerful ocean currents become a source of renewable energy?
Katherine O’Fallon of the Marine Research Hub of South Florida is joined by Dr. James VanZwieten, Director of Florida Atlantic University’s Southeast Marine Energy Center (SMEC), to explore the science, engineering and real-world testing behind efforts to harness energy from the Gulf Stream.
The conversation looks at decades of research into ocean currents off the Florida coast, the challenges of designing and testing marine energy technology in deep, fast-moving water, and the enormous amount of data required before turbines can move from experimental systems toward commercial applications.
James also explains what it takes to conduct offshore testing, why environmental monitoring is fundamental to the research, how scientists measure and understand the Gulf Stream itself, and the role of the U.S. Department of Energy in advancing marine energy technology.
It is a practical look at an extraordinary renewable resource and the engineering required to determine what role ocean current energy could realistically play in the future.

What happens when a law exists to protect seafarers, but the system built to enforce it does not act?
In Part Two of Buried At Sea: The Law They Ignored, UNCENSORED host Marién Sarriera continues the three-part series with maritime lawyer, advocate, and former seafarer Ryan Melogy.
After Part One examined Ryan’s own experience of abuse at sea and what happened when he reported it, Part Two follows the moment that changed the direction of his fight. While studying for his chief mate exam, Ryan discovered a federal law requiring allegations of sexual assault aboard US-flagged vessels to be reported to the US Coast Guard.
That discovery raised a question that would lead him into something much larger:
If the law existed, why was it not being enforced?
Ryan explains how institutional pushback, Coast Guard inaction, FOIA requests, Maritime Legal Aid, public pressure, and survivor stories began to expose a wider pattern across the maritime industry. What started as one report became part of a much bigger fight for accountability, enforcement, and protection for people working at sea.
This conversation looks at the gap between policy and action, the burden placed on survivors, the emotional cost of advocacy, and what happens when ignored reports are finally brought into the open.
This is Part Two of a three-part UNCENSORED special series.

How can the superyacht industry improve safety before something goes wrong?
In this episode of On The Bridge, Alicia Store, Chief Operating Officer at dsnm Ltd, speaks with Paul Shepherd, Chair of CHIRP’s superyacht programme, about confidential safety reporting, crew trust, shared learning, and the culture needed to help yacht crew speak up.
Paul explains what CHIRP is, why a superyacht-specific programme was created, and how crew can share safety concerns, near misses, incidents, and lessons learned without fear of being identified.
This is not a conversation about whistleblowing. It is a conversation about learning.
Paul makes clear that CHIRP is designed to take the same safety conversations that often happen in crew bars, WhatsApp groups, or private chats, and bring them into a confidential structure where the wider industry can learn from them. The aim is not to blame yachts, captains, crew, or management companies. The aim is to prevent the same mistakes from being repeated elsewhere.
Alicia and Paul also discuss some of the most common superyacht safety themes reported through CHIRP, including tender operations, anchoring and mooring, and working aloft. They explore why unsafe practices can become normal onboard simply because nothing has gone wrong yet, a process known as the normalisation of deviation.
From kill cords and life jackets in tenders to slippery surfaces, exposed work areas, stop work authority, and the importance of fresh eyes onboard, this conversation looks at the everyday decisions that shape safety culture.
Paul also highlights the positive side of the industry: the captains, chief officers, engineers, interior teams, deck crew, and shoreside professionals already trying to build better safety standards across yachting.
At the heart of the discussion is a simple idea:
You do not have enough time to make all the mistakes yourself. Sometimes the safest thing a yacht can do is learn from what has already happened somewhere else.
Topics include:
• What CHIRP is and why the superyacht programme was created
• Confidential safety reporting in yachting
• Why CHIRP is not a whistleblowing programme
• How crew anonymity is protected
• Tender operations, anchoring, mooring, and working aloft
• Normalisation of deviation in yacht operations
• Kill cords, life jackets, and practical tender safety
• Stop work authority and crew confidence
• Why safety culture depends on trust
• How captains and senior crew can use CHIRP reports onboard
• Why shared learning can prevent serious incidents

Luxury yachting is often seen from the outside as glamour, freedom, celebrities, billionaires, royals, and floating palaces. But behind that image is a very different world of service, sacrifice, pressure, extraordinary human moments, and stories most people never hear.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Timmo Elliott and Gemma Masferrer, authors of Sailing Through the Excess, a book that pulls back the curtain on life inside the luxury yachting world.
Timmo shares how years in hospitality, travel, and yachting led to a memoir filled with remarkable encounters, unforgettable guests, and the realities behind elite service. Gemma explains how she helped bring those stories together, shaping Timmo’s experiences into a book with wider context around climate change, gender equality at sea, the MeToo movement, language, identity, and the sacrifices behind maritime life.
This is a conversation about luxury yachting, but also about storytelling, human connection, nature, resilience, and the courage to step outside your comfort zone.

Refit oversight is where yacht projects either hold together or start to unravel.
In this episode of American Refit, host Maria Pierce Schoenheit is joined by Robert Mac Keen of MacKeen Group / MIATC and Lord Luke Hammond of Seek Standards for a direct conversation on planning, accountability, reporting, contractor selection, owner expectations, and why yacht refit projects need clearer structure before a vessel ever enters the yard.
The discussion looks at what happens when scope is unclear, vendors are not aligned, pricing is not properly compared, and every stakeholder is working from a different version of the project.
From 10-year surveys and contractor quality to shipyard capacity, project baselines, refit management, owner communication, and stronger standards across the American refit market, this conversation gets into the practical realities that can make or break a yard period.
A quick note on the audio: there were technical issues with the original recording. The audio has been cleaned up as much as possible because the conversation itself was too valuable not to share.

Superyacht ownership should be exceptional, but it should never be chaotic.
In this episode of Forward Watch, host Karine Rayson speaks with Jack MacNally of Foreland Marine about where yacht owners are most exposed during a purchase, build, refit, or ongoing operation, and why independent representation matters long before something goes wrong.
Jack is the co-founder of Foreland Marine Consultancy, an independent owner’s representative firm working only for the owner. He is also the author of The First Owner’s Reference, a guide created to help yacht owners ask the questions that are often missing from the glossy version of yacht ownership.
The conversation looks at one of the industry’s most uncomfortable realities: incentives.
A broker may recommend a surveyor. A surveyor may know the captain. A captain may recommend a yard. Everyone may look professional, polished, and experienced, but unless the owner understands who is being paid, who is connected, and where interests may overlap, the advice they receive may not be as independent as they believe.
Jack explains why transparency, disclosure, due diligence, and independent advice are essential when millions of dollars and multiple stakeholders are involved. He also discusses why owners should build their own team before entering the purchase process, including independent technical guidance, legal advice, survey support, and people who are genuinely sitting on their side of the table.
The discussion also moves beyond acquisition into the ongoing role of an owner’s representative. Jack explains why strong representation should not disappear once the deal is complete, and why operational oversight, crew-level awareness, management relationships, diplomacy, integrity, and long-term planning all matter to the success of the yacht.
At the heart of the episode is a simple question every owner should be asking:
Who is actually in your corner?

Yachting does not run on yachts alone. It runs on captains, crew, marinas, shipyards, agents, suppliers, contractors, and the people who understand how to keep the entire ecosystem moving.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, sits down with Giusy Murolo, Sales Manager at Marina Genova, to discuss why captains and crew are the real asset in yachting, how Marina Genova developed into a strategic hub for large yachts, and why poorly designed regulation can damage far more than the people it claims to target.
Giusy shares how she joined Marina Genova while it was still being built and how the marina’s focus shifted once it became clear that captains and crew were central to yacht movement, yard periods, services, and onboard decisions. The conversation looks at why marina support must go beyond berths and technical facilities to include airport access, provisioning, contractors, transport, local knowledge, crew services, and the wider community surrounding the marina.
James and Giusy also discuss the new Schengen stamp-in and stamp-out rules affecting crew joining yachts in Italy. Under the current system, crew may only be stamped out once the captain declares an exact departure date within 10 days. While that may be manageable for yachts moving during the summer season, it creates a far more serious problem for yachts entering refit periods, remaining in Italy for longer stays, or relying on non-EU crew.
The consequences are not limited to paperwork. They affect crew time, captain workload, continuity onboard, costs, refit planning, agents, marinas, shipyards, local businesses, and whether yachts choose to remain in Italy at all.
Giusy also explains the work of Genova for Yachting and the substantial economic impact the industry has across Genoa and Liguria. When yachts stay, they support far more than a berth. They support provisioning companies, contractors, restaurants, transport providers, technical businesses, retail, tourism, and entire local supply chains.
Because when regulation does not reflect how yachting actually works, everybody loses.

Yacht charter booking is changing, and today’s clients expect faster access, clearer pricing, live availability, and a more direct route from interest to experience.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin is joined by Captain Daren Packham, Head of Yachts at IDOSY, for a practical conversation about instant yacht charter booking, live pricing, live availability, APA and VAT transparency, and how digital platforms can help reduce friction in the charter process.
Daren explains how IDOSY is designed to give yachts another route to market, helping owners, brokers, central agents, captains, crew, and clients work with clearer information from the start. Rather than replacing the people who make yacht charter work, the platform is built to help clients reach the right people faster, so the real guest experience can begin sooner.
The conversation also explores why the 20 to 40-metre yacht sector is well suited to online booking tools, how live availability can reduce delays, why transparent pricing matters, and how easier access can help grow the wider charter market by bringing new clients into yachting.

Offshore safety is not just about PPE, paperwork, or compliance. It is about people, judgement, leadership, resilience, and understanding risk before it becomes an incident.
In this episode of Sea Views, Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell are joined by Gordon Foot, MNM FNI | Offshore Client Representative, for a conversation about the reality of life and work offshore.
Gordon’s maritime career has taken him from Royal Navy submarines into offshore operations across oil and gas, subsea work, cables, renewables, offshore wind, marine construction, and high-risk maritime environments. His perspective is grounded in decades of practical experience, but the heart of this conversation is the people who make offshore operations work.
The discussion explores safety culture, human factors, resilience, self-awareness, teamwork, connectivity at sea, seafarer welfare, mentoring, and why offshore safety has to be lived, not simply written into procedures.
Gordon also reflects on the opportunities within the blue economy, the importance of bringing younger people into maritime, and why curiosity, empathy, and strong leadership still matter in an industry shaped by technology, risk, and constant change.

What makes sailing yacht Black Pearl one of the most extraordinary yachts in the world?
In this episode of On The Bridge, Alicia Store, Chief Operating Officer at dsnm Ltd, speaks with Captain Chris Gartner of sailing yacht Black Pearl about the freedom of sailing, the technology behind one of the most recognisable yachts afloat, and the realities of operating a sailing yacht of this scale.
Chris explains why sailing offers something different from motor yachting, describing it as the chess game of yachting, where wind, crew, systems, timing, and skill all come together to move the yacht with power and purpose.
This conversation explores what makes Black Pearl so unique, from her Dyn Rig to the onboard systems that allow her to generate power while under sail. It also looks at the practical side of operating a yacht of this size, including crew organisation, pride in the vessel, maintenance, safety, and the challenge of keeping the rig operational at 72 metres above the water.
Chris also shares the destinations that have shaped his career, including years spent exploring the Pacific Basin, and why Black Pearl is ready for more blue-water sailing, remote cruising, and a new chapter as a charter yacht.
At the centre of the conversation is the passion that drives sailing yacht crew:
It is not just about moving from A to B. It is about using wind, teamwork, and seamanship to bring a yacht like Black Pearl fully to life.
Topics include:
• Why sailing yachts offer a different kind of command
• What makes Black Pearl’s Dyn Rig so significant
• How Black Pearl generates power while under sail
• The realities of operating a sailing yacht of this size
• Crew pride, motivation, and onboard culture
• Maintenance, safety, and working aloft
• Why the rig creates unique operational challenges
• Remote cruising and blue-water sailing
• Pacific destinations and future bucket-list routes
• Black Pearl’s new chapter as a charter yacht

Yacht maintenance is not the ugly side of yachting. It is where the standard either holds or slips.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat | Yachting International Radio, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Tyler Wilson and Brian Hall of Velluto Products about yacht maintenance, ceramic coatings, surface protection, detailing, product education, and why the industry needs better systems for looking after yachts in real marine conditions.
Tyler and Brian explain how Velluto Products was built from the ground up, why ceramic coatings should be treated as part of a full maintenance system, and how products such as ceramic wash, gel coat protection, and waterless wash can help captains and crew protect surfaces, save time, and reduce avoidable damage.
The conversation also introduces Yacht Maintenance Unhinged, a new podcast coming to Yachting International Radio, created to bring a more honest, practical, and entertaining look at yacht maintenance, detailing, coatings, crew habits, product use, training, and the realities of keeping yachts looking their best.

What does substance awareness really look like when alcohol, drugs, nightlife, crew culture, safety, and personal responsibility all collide?
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Stacey Miller for a raw, honest, and practical conversation about alcohol, drugs, harm reduction, drink spiking, crew safety, and why awareness matters in an industry built around travel, pressure, nightlife, and intense work.
Stacey brings both professional expertise and lived experience to the conversation. Her background in drug and alcohol awareness, prevention, education, recovery support, and safeguarding gives her a clear understanding of why fear-based messaging rarely works, and why better information can help people make safer decisions before things reach crisis point.
The conversation explores teenage drinking culture, hangovers, functioning drinking, substance use, drug testing, THC vapes, cocaine, ketamine, GHB, synthetic opioids, and the reality that many crew are navigating these risks while working in holiday destinations, nightlife hubs, crew houses, and high-pressure onboard environments.
Cherise and Stacey also discuss drink spiking, sexual assault risk, green crew vulnerability, power imbalance, active bystander culture, social media stalking, reporting challenges, and why yacht crew safety cannot be reduced to telling women to “be careful.”
This is not a lecture. It is a conversation about awareness, practical tools, crew responsibility, harm reduction, and a more honest approach to what actually happens around alcohol and drugs.

Yacht crew mental health is talked about more than ever. But talking about it is not the same as making support easy to access.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, speaks with Nick Hayward-Young, known as The Superyacht Psychotherapist, about therapy, stigma, mental health support, and why yachting needs to treat the mind with the same seriousness as the body.
Nick shares his route into yachting, his background around boats and superyachts, and why working with yacht crew requires an understanding of the pressures, privacy issues, schedules, and realities of life onboard.
This conversation looks at why crew may still feel uncomfortable asking for help, why therapy is not a sign that something is wrong, and why speaking with someone outside friends, family, or the vessel can be so valuable.
James and Nick also discuss the difference between mental health awareness and practical action, the stigma that still exists onboard, how therapy sessions can work around yacht crew schedules, and why therapy should be as normal as going to the dentist, seeing a physio, or going to the gym.
Yachting is built on people working under pressure, often far from home, in confined spaces, with limited privacy and high expectations. If the industry wants stronger crews, safer vessels, and healthier careers, mental health support cannot remain hidden, awkward, or treated as a last resort.

What does it take to report honestly on one of the world’s most private industries?
In this episode of On The Bridge, host Alicia Store, COO of dsnm Ltd, speaks with Francesca Webster, Editor-in-Chief at SuperYacht Times, about superyacht media, editorial trust, industry reputation, and the responsibility of reporting on a sector built so heavily on relationships.
Francesca’s route into yachting media was anything but traditional. After working onboard yachts in Greece and Croatia, she moved into classic yacht history, writing, and research before joining SuperYacht Times as a writer. Six weeks later, she was offered the role of Editor-in-Chief.
This conversation explores the reality behind modern superyacht media: how to protect trust, how to maintain independence, how to report with integrity, and why transparency matters in an industry where reputation carries real weight.
Francesca discusses the changing media landscape, the growth of SuperYacht Times, the continued role of print, the pressure of social media, and the challenge of producing quality journalism in a world flooded with information.

In This Episode:
• How toxic leadership affects crew confidence
• Why crew may not realise the damage until they leave
• The difference between pressure and intimidation
• How poor leadership shows up on deck
• Why feedback must be constructive, not crushing
• How captains, chief officers, and bosuns can communicate better

What happens when abuse is reported at sea, and the system protects itself instead?
In Part One of Buried At Sea: Abuse, Power & Accountability, UNCENSORED host Marién Sarriera speaks with maritime lawyer, advocate, and former seafarer Ryan Melogy for the first episode of a three-part special series examining abuse, silence, retaliation, and accountability across the maritime industry.
Ryan is known today for his maritime legal work, advocacy, and involvement in challenging the systems that allow harassment, assault, and abuse at sea to continue. But before becoming a lawyer and advocate in this space, Ryan spent nearly two decades at sea. He sailed on 22 vessels, held an unlimited tonnage chief mate licence, served eight years as an officer in the US Navy Reserve, and experienced first-hand the culture he now works to challenge.
In this episode, Ryan shares what happened aboard the Maersk Idaho, where he says sexual harassment began within minutes of meeting a new chief mate and escalated into physical assault, abuse of cadets, psychological harm, and a formal report that should have triggered accountability.
Instead, Ryan says the man he reported was later promoted.
This conversation looks at what happens when abuse is normalised, when victims and bystanders freeze, when institutions close ranks, and when speaking up comes with a personal and professional cost.
This is not only a story about one ship, one report, or one predator. It is a story about hierarchy, isolation, silence, power, and the urgent need for accountability at sea.

Yachting is built on crew. Without them, nothing works.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey speaks with Kayleigh Liddell, Crew HR Manager at Hill Robinson, about crew HR, people culture, yacht management, retention, and why the industry needs to move beyond simply meeting the minimum.
Kayleigh shares her route from education, recruitment, and HR into yachting, and how her work with Hill Robinson Crew Services has shown her both the need for better crew support and the resistance that can appear when trying to bring more structured people-focused systems into the industry.
This conversation looks at why HR in yachting should not be treated as rules for the sake of rules. It is about structure, communication, consistency, care, and creating working environments where crew and captains are properly supported.
From welcome packs and compassionate leave policies to training budgets, leadership development, shipyard learning opportunities, collaboration between management companies, and the pressure placed on captains, this episode looks at what it will really take to move yachting forward.
Kayleigh also raises one of the strongest points of the conversation: the industry needs to stop aiming for “minimum” and start talking about standards.
Minimum safe manning.
Minimum support.
Minimum training.
Minimum accountability.
Why is minimum still the ambition?
In this episode:
• Kayleigh Liddell’s route into yachting and crew HR
• Why people care sits at the heart of her work
• How Hill Robinson began building HR support for yacht crew
• Why captains need to be part of the conversation
• Why HR in yachting is really about people and culture
• The importance of welcome packs, policies, and support structures
• Why training budgets and personal development matter
• How shipyards could become powerful spaces for crew training
• Why collaboration across the industry is essential
• The problem with fragmented standards across yachts
• Why captains carry responsibility without always having support
• Why the term “minimum” holds the industry back
• How yachting can move from minimum standards to real standards

What does true crew training look like when service, leadership, mindset, and guest experience all collide?
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Lynne Edwards of Phoenix Superyacht Training for a wide-ranging conversation about the evolution of superyacht service, interior training, leadership, crew mindset, guest expectations, and why technical skills alone are no longer enough.
Lynne shares her extraordinary journey from hospitality and global travel to discovering the yachting industry in the early 1980s, when yachts were smaller, service was more traditional, and the industry looked very different from the world of 100-metre-plus vessels we see today.
The conversation explores how yacht operations have changed, why larger vessels require stronger leadership, and why every head of department needs more than practical ability to manage people well. Cherise and Lynne also discuss the changing role of interior crew, the importance of purpose, resilience, personal development, and why great service must be adapted to the guest in front of you, not delivered from a rigid rulebook.
They also look at GUEST training, professional interior standards, women in yachting, crew welfare, the Superyacht Alliance, and the ongoing industry push toward better culture, better leadership, and safer, more professional onboard environments.

Silent propulsion is becoming an increasingly important part of modern yacht design, especially as efficiency, onboard comfort, underwater noise reduction, and vessel performance move higher on the agenda.
In this episode of Positive Waves Media, host Jana Thomas speaks with Edwin Bonsen, Director Sales Marine Benelux at Voith Turbo B.V., about advanced maritime propulsion systems and their relevance for the superyacht and mega yacht market.
The conversation explores the electric Voith Schneider Propeller, a system with nearly 100 years of history that has evolved through the integration of permanent magnet motor technology. By eliminating mechanical gears, Voith has made the system even quieter, supporting applications where silent operation, hydrodynamic performance, and onboard comfort are key priorities.
Edwin also explains how the Voith Schneider Propeller can provide propulsion, steering, and roll damping, potentially reducing the need for traditional stabilizers while saving space, reducing resistance, and improving overall efficiency.
The episode also looks at Voith inline thrusters, rim drive systems, swing-out azimuthing applications, and the Voith Linear Jet for faster yachts between 20 and 40 knots.
Because several propulsion systems are discussed visually, the YouTube version is especially useful for seeing the technology being referenced.

Host Rick Thomas welcomes Rose Damen, Managing Director at Damen Yachting, for a powerful conversation recorded on board the 74-metre Amels 242 CASINO ROYALE in South Florida.
This episode looks inside one of the most influential yacht builders in the world, exploring the future of Damen Yachting, the strength of the Amels platform philosophy, the importance of shipyard investment, and the balance between proven design, personalisation, innovation, and full-custom superyacht construction.
Rose shares insight into Damen Yachting’s continued growth, including current activity at the Vlissingen shipyard in the Netherlands, the AMELS 60 and AMELS 80 programmes, Yacht Support and Explorer builds, and the company’s 120-metre full-custom project. She also explains how Damen Yachting approaches innovation through operational data, centralised research and development, co-maker partnerships, and practical technologies that must work in the real world.
At the centre of the conversation is the wider yachting experience. As Rose explains, the shipyard delivers half of that experience through the yacht itself, while the captain and crew deliver the other half. Rick and Rose explore why owners, shipyards, captains, crew, designers, brokers, and technical partners all play a critical role in shaping the future of the superyacht industry.

Superyacht crew wellbeing is no longer a soft conversation. It is directly connected to performance, retention, communication, leadership, safety, and the long-term health of the yachting industry.
In this episode of On The Bridge, Alicia Store, COO of dsnm Ltd, speaks with Cally Cooper, owner and founder of WellCrew, about how yacht crew can be better supported in high-pressure onboard environments.
Cally shares how her background in health, performance, nutrition, coaching, NLP, endurance challenges, and military-linked high-performance environments led to the creation of WellCrew. Her work focuses on helping crew optimize their health, understand their mindset and behaviour, recover properly, communicate better, and perform as stronger teams onboard.
The conversation covers practical tools being used across the industry, including psychometric profiling, stress and recovery data, glucose monitoring, blood work, personalized supplementation, nutrition education, wearable technology, and VR-based seasickness support.
This is not wellbeing as a buzzword. It is about measurable support, healthier crew, stronger teams, better retention, and giving captains, owners, yacht managers, and crew the tools to build a more sustainable future onboard.
This episode explores:
• How WellCrew supports superyacht crew health and performance
• Why crew wellbeing affects retention, leadership, and onboard culture
• The role of psychometric profiling in improving communication and teamwork
• How stress, sleep, recovery, and nutrition can be measured and supported
• Why yacht crew need personalized health strategies, not generic advice
• How seasickness technology could improve life onboard for crew and guests
• What captains, owners, and yacht managers can do to start supporting crew more effectively

What really happens behind the scenes in yacht crew recruitment?
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Sophie Barber, founder of Vela Recruitment, for an honest and practical conversation about how superyacht recruitment has changed, why references remain complicated, and why the right placement still depends on far more than a strong CV.
Sophie shares her journey from working onboard yachts to building a career in superyacht recruitment, including her early days in Antibes, her time at Bluewater, and the experience that led her to launch Vela Recruitment. The conversation looks at the changing recruitment landscape, why junior and senior crew roles now require different approaches, and why HOD placements demand deeper understanding, stronger vetting, and a real sense of personality fit.
Cherise and Sophie also discuss some of the harder issues facing the industry, including vague references, known bad actors, reputation risk, female crew safety, onboard relationships, fake CVs, fake yacht jobs, and the increasing role of AI in recruitment.
At the centre of the conversation is one clear point: yacht recruitment is still a relationship business. Technology can help with validation, systems, and speed, but it cannot replace trust, integrity, instinct, accountability, and the human judgement needed to place the right person on the right yacht.

Crew health is not just a wellbeing issue. It is a safety issue.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey speaks with Dr. Simon Gordon, GP and ENG1 doctor based in Valbonne, about what yacht crew health really looks like from the medical side of the industry.
Dr. Gordon shares how he came into the yachting world after taking over from Dr. Patrick Ireland in the South of France, and why his work with yacht crew, captains, agencies, brokers, and families has given him a wider view of the pressures sitting behind the polished image of yachting.
This conversation looks at the limits of the ENG1, why some medical risks are not fully captured, how yachting compares with offshore industries, and why the industry needs to think more seriously about prevention, confidential health support, cardiac risk, mental health, and medical structures for crew.
From delayed medical concerns during charter season to the pressure captains face, the lack of health system registration for some crew, video consultations, insurance gaps, and the need for annual off-the-record health checks, this is a practical discussion about how the industry can better protect the people who keep yachts running.
In this episode:
• Dr. Simon Gordon’s route from GP work to yachting medicine
• What yacht crew and captains reveal during medical conversations
• How yachting compares with offshore and oil rig medical systems
• Why the ENG1 matters, but does not cover everything
• Why cardiac risk deserves more serious attention onboard
• How mental health and wellbeing become safety issues at sea
• Why delayed medical concerns can create operational risk
• The pressure placed on captains, senior crew, and families
• Why annual off-the-record health checks could better support crew
• How video consultations could help yachts respond faster
• Why crew insurance and long-term illness protection need attention
• The importance of building better medical structures across yachting

Rotational captaincy is becoming more common across yachting, but the industry rarely talks honestly about what it takes for two captains to share command without destabilising the crew, the culture, or the standard onboard.
In this episode of Forward Watch, host Karine Rayson speaks with Captain Dean Pilatti about the reality of rotational captaincy and the leadership skills required to make it work.
Dean has been in yachting since 1991, became a captain in 2000, and has been rotating with his captain partner Rowan since 2020. Their six-year rotational partnership offers a rare look at what shared command can become when trust, communication, vulnerability, and consistency are treated as part of the job, not optional extras.
This conversation explores why the right rotational partner matters, what happens when captains are not aligned, how ego can damage the structure, and why crew quickly sense when leadership is shifting from one rotation to the next.
Dean also speaks about the importance of handovers that go beyond operations. The logbook, owner movements, charters, and shipyard planning matter, but so do crew dynamics, morale, trust, and the emotional temperature onboard. When those elements are ignored, rotation can turn into confusion. When they are handled well, it can strengthen the vessel.
At the heart of the discussion is a simple but powerful point: the crew are not “my team” or “your team.” They are the vessel’s team.
For captains considering rotation, chief officers working toward command, managers supporting rotational structures, and crew who have lived through inconsistent leadership, this conversation offers a grounded look at what shared command really requires.

Fishing safety does not start with paperwork. It starts with the people who go to sea.
In this episode of Sea Views, Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell are joined by Darren Guard of Guard Safety, a New Zealand fishing safety specialist whose life has been shaped by commercial fishing, vessel operations, safety culture, regulation, training, and fisher wellbeing.
Darren comes from one of New Zealand’s oldest European-descendant fishing families, with nearly 200 years of history in the sector. From growing up around fishing vessels to working with Maritime New Zealand, fishing companies, regulators, and crews, his perspective is built on lived experience rather than theory.
This conversation looks at what it really takes to change safety culture in commercial fishing. Darren explains why trust matters, why safety systems have to be simple and practical, and why fishermen are more likely to engage when safety is made relevant to their families, their livelihoods, and the realities of working at sea.
The discussion also moves into the mental health pressures facing inshore and commercial fishers, the need to treat fishermen as people and not just as labour, and why sustainable fisheries must also mean sustainable fishers. Darren shares the work behind MarineSAFE, the potential of MarineSAFE Pacific, and how online training, mobile access, and community-based learning could help reach remote fishing communities across the Pacific.
From New Zealand’s fishing fleet to global safety standards, the Cape Town Agreement, CHIRP confidential reporting, and The Gleam Fishing Channel, this is a practical and deeply human conversation about getting fishermen home safe.
In this conversation:
• Commercial fishing safety and risk at sea
• Darren Guard’s fishing family history
• Building trust between fishermen and regulators
• Practical safety culture onboard
• Guard Safety and plain-language safety systems
• Fisher mental health and wellbeing
• Sustainable fishers, not just sustainable fish stocks
• MarineSAFE and online safety training
• MarineSAFE Pacific and remote fishing communities
• The Cape Town Agreement and international fishing safety
• CHIRP confidential reporting
• The Gleam Fishing Channel and preserving fishing stories

What happens when drinking is no longer making life bigger, better, easier, or more fun?
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Laura Kilbey, founder of Sober Crew Social Club, for an honest, funny, and deeply human conversation about alcohol, yacht crew culture, identity, loneliness, pressure, safety, and what it really means to choose sobriety while working in an industry where drinking has long been part of the social fabric.
Laura shares how Sober Crew Social Club began, why she stopped drinking, and why people do not need to hit “rock bottom” before deciding that alcohol is no longer serving them. The conversation moves through blackout drinking, crew nights out, anxiety, isolation, onboard safety, emotional coping, social pressure, and the difference between giving something up and choosing something better.
This is not a lecture. It is not about telling everyone to stop drinking. It is about giving yacht crew permission to question their relationship with alcohol without shame, without labels, and without waiting for things to fall apart first.

Rossinavi is one of Italy’s most distinctive full-custom superyacht builders, where beauty, engineering, family heritage, and advanced propulsion technology come together in every one-off build.
In this episode of Yachting USA, Rick Thomas speaks with Federico Rossi of Rossinavi about what makes Italian yacht building different, from the cultural importance of beauty and craftsmanship to the technical discipline required to build steel and aluminium superyachts at the highest level.
The conversation explores Rossinavi’s full-custom approach, why every yacht is treated as a unique project, and why keeping key fabrication, components, know-how, and quality control in-house remains central to the shipyard’s identity. Federico also speaks about Tuscany, Viareggio, Pisa, local marine supply chains, and the deep Italian infrastructure that supports yacht building at this level.
Rossinavi’s innovation story is also front and centre, including hybrid-electric propulsion, battery systems, solar integration, AI-supported power management, lightweight aluminium catamaran design, and the challenge of delivering new technology without compromising the aesthetic language of Italian luxury.
From Rossinavi USA and after-sales support to future fuels, redundancy, vessel availability, hydrogen, LNG, and the technologies that may shape the next generation of superyachts, this is a focused look inside a brand built on Italian design culture, technical control, and long-term yacht-building vision.

Can shoreline protection do more than defend against erosion?
In this episode of The Blue Economy, Katherine O’Fallon, Executive Director of the Marine Research Hub of South Florida, is joined by Arthur Tiedeman of APH Marine Construction and Nicholas Bourdon of Reef Arches for a practical conversation about nature-based shoreline infrastructure, hybrid seawalls, artificial reef structures, mangrove planters, and the future of coastal resilience.
As waterfront communities face aging seawalls, rising costs, permitting pressure, storm exposure, and the need for stronger environmental outcomes, the conversation around marine construction is changing. The question is no longer only how to protect the shoreline, but how to build infrastructure that also creates habitat, supports marine life, improves water quality, and gives homeowners, municipalities, developers, and contractors better tools.
Arthur shares the APH Marine Construction perspective on hybrid seawalls, marine construction, installation logistics, contractor education, and why South Florida is entering a major seawall replacement cycle. Nicholas explains how Reef Arches are being used as modular, nature-based structures that can help attenuate waves, support habitat complexity, provide alternatives to traditional riprap, and scale across residential, municipal, and infrastructure projects.
Together, they discuss Sunrise Key, Palm Bay, Cape Canaveral, mangrove planters, oysters, ecological seawall tiles, homeowner participation, regulatory pathways, pilot studies, data, grants, and why collaboration across the blue economy is essential if these solutions are going to move from innovation to standard practice.

When yacht crew work away from home, routine health appointments can quickly become complicated. Boats move, schedules change, contracts run long, and personal medical checks can be pushed further down the list.
But some checks cannot wait.
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman speaks with Jayn Willis, founder of The Floating Florista Foundation, about her daughter Gemma, known throughout the yachting community as The Floating Florista.
Gemma was a yacht stew, florist, and much-loved member of the industry. Fit, healthy, active, and full of life, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer after a routine screening. Her story is now part of a wider mission to remind women, crew, captains, and senior teams that cervical screening, women’s health, and routine medical appointments must be treated as essential crew welfare.
Through The Floating Florista Foundation and the Do It For Gem message, Jayn continues to raise awareness around cervical screening, especially for those working at sea or away from home for long periods. This conversation is about grief, legacy, awareness, and why the industry must make space for crew to protect their health without embarrassment, dismissal, or delay.

In this final episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy reflects on her years connected to the yachting industry, her early involvement with Yachting International Radio, and the decision to step away from Self-Care On Board as she moves fully into her next chapter.
This is not simply a farewell. It is a reflection on purpose, intuition, integrity, and knowing when a chapter has done what it came to do.
Geraldine speaks openly about her journey through the yachting industry, from yacht shows and international roles to difficult leadership, unpaid commissions, professional disappointment, and the lessons that ultimately shaped her. She also reflects on the importance of listening within, trusting the body’s warning signs, and refusing to ignore the intuition that often arrives before the mind is ready to act.
Her message is especially clear for women in yachting and beyond: do not underestimate your voice, your discernment, or your ability to cut through what no longer aligns.
This episode explores:
• Why Geraldine is stepping back from Self-Care On Board
• Her connection to Yachting International Radio from the early days
• What the yachting industry taught her about resilience and integrity
• Why difficult professional experiences can become lessons rather than lifelong wounds
• The importance of listening within before the body forces you to wake up
• Why women’s voices and intuition must not be underestimated
• What it means to step out of one chapter and into a new mission
Geraldine’s final message is clear:
Listen within. Step into your purpose. Have a mission. Be in service. Do something greater than yourself.

What happens when yacht crew need help, but no one nearby can act fast enough?
In this episode of UNCENSORED, host Marién Sarriera speaks with Devlin Cathey, founder of All Safe Yachting, about a crew safety system built to give yacht crew an immediate way to raise the alarm, capture evidence, and access support wherever they are in the world.
All Safe Yachting began with the idea of a global panic button for crew, created in the wake of real tragedy and designed as a prevention tool as much as an emergency response system. Devlin explains how the platform works, including app-based panic alerts, wearable Bluetooth buttons, man-down detection, confidential reporting, wellbeing support, hours of rest tracking, and management dashboards.
This conversation looks at the realities crew face on board and ashore: isolation, fear of reporting, lack of evidence, altered hours of rest, mental health pressure, and the need for systems that protect crew before a situation becomes critical.
For crew, captains, owners, managers, and families, this is a practical conversation about safety, prevention, accountability, and giving people at sea another layer of protection when it matters most.

Green crew need more than a checklist. They need honest guidance, realistic expectations, and a clearer understanding of what they are walking into before they step onboard.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey speaks with Jemma Cunningham, Founder of The Yacht Interior Academy, about preparing new yacht crew for the realities behind yachting’s polished exterior.
Jemma’s own route began far from superyachts. After leaving school at 16, she started in hairdressing, then joined the cruise ship world at 18 before stepping into yachting in 2015. Her first yacht experience gave her a sharp understanding of how intimidating the industry can be when new crew arrive without context, support, or a clear sense of onboard culture.
Through The Yacht Interior Academy, Jemma is focused on helping future crew understand far more than the certificates they need. Her work looks at expectations, hierarchy, crew dynamics, communication, emotional resilience, and the practical reality of joining a yacht as a new crew member.
This conversation explores why personality and team fit matter as much as qualifications, how toxic leadership can damage confidence, why communication is essential onboard, and how better education can help protect new crew from misinformation, poor preparation, and exploitation.
For an industry that continues to talk about raising standards, this is where it starts: with better preparation, better support, and more honest guidance for the people entering yachting at the very beginning.
In this episode:
• Jemma Cunningham’s journey from cruise ships to superyachts
• What her first yacht experience revealed about onboard culture
• Why green crew need realistic expectations before joining a vessel
• How toxic leadership can push good crew out of the industry
• Why The Yacht Interior Academy was created
• How online training and mentoring can support new yacht crew
• Why interior crew preparation must go beyond certificates
• The importance of personality, team fit, and communication onboard
• Why mental health and emotional support matter in yachting
• How trusted information can help protect new crew
• Why raising crew standards helps raise industry standards

Yacht crew work across borders, contracts, flag states, management structures, and onboard procedures, but many do not fully understand what those details mean until something goes wrong.
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman is joined by Lucy Goff and Jenny Harris from Ocean Legal for a practical conversation about yacht crew rights, marine law, employment contracts, NDAs, jurisdiction, reporting, evidence, and the realities of working at sea.
This is not a fear-based conversation. It is a knowledge-based one.
Lucy and Jenny explain why yacht crew need to understand their contracts before joining a vessel, what governing law and jurisdiction clauses can mean in real life, why union support such as Nautilus can matter, and why NDAs do not automatically silence crew after serious incidents.
They also discuss one of the biggest myths in yachting: that working in “international waters” means there are no rules.
For crew, captains, senior crew, yacht managers, recruiters, owners’ representatives, and anyone involved in the superyacht industry, this conversation belongs in the wider discussion around safety, accountability, welfare, and professional standards.

In yachting, talent does not always get a clear path forward.
Marlies Sanders knows that first-hand.
After arriving in the Caribbean following a transatlantic crossing with no formal yachting background, Marlies built her career step by step, earning her Yachtmaster, gaining sea time, working her way through the ranks, and eventually becoming a Superyacht Captain with a Master 3000.
But the journey was not without resistance.
She was told she was too old. She was told some boats would not take a woman on deck because it would “ruin the vibe.” She saw the excuses, the bias, and the barriers that still affect women trying to progress in deck roles today.
In this episode of The Wellbeing Project, host Karine Rayson of The Crew Coach speaks with Marlies Sanders, Superyacht Captain, about what it really takes to move from deck to leadership, why standards matter, how networking changes careers, and why visible female leadership is still so important in the yachting industry.
This is a conversation about resilience, leadership, representation, and the women proving that the path does exist.
In this episode, they discuss:
• How Marlies entered yachting by accident and built a long-term career
• The reality of progressing through tickets and sea time
• Why women on deck still face outdated assumptions
• What captains and vessels lose when they overlook capable female crew
• The importance of leadership, ethics, and crew support onboard
• Why networking matters more than many crew realise
• What young women on deck need to hear when the industry tells them no
• Why representation is not just symbolic, it is practical proof

What does it take to become the captain of a 90-metre superyacht?
In this episode of On The Bridge, host Alicia Store, COO of dsnm Ltd, speaks with Captain Chris Halligan, Captain of a 90-metre superyacht, about his journey from commercial shipping to large yacht command, and the leadership lessons that shaped the captain he is today.
Chris began his maritime career as a cadet at Warsash in 2003 before building his experience in the commercial sector, including cruise ships, container vessels, and coal carriers. After gaining his Class 1 ticket, he moved into yachting in 2014 as part of the build team for the 156-metre Dilbar, later working across major new-builds, large yachts, support vessels, and now command of a 90-metre superyacht.
This conversation explores the reality behind modern superyacht leadership: how to build a strong bridge team, what commercial experience brings to the yacht industry, why crew dynamic matters, and how captains can mentor the next generation of officers.
Chris discusses the importance of communication, confidence, proactivity, adaptability, safety culture, and giving bridge team members the room to grow. He also shares how systems, industry networks, management support, flag-state notices, CHIRP reports, and tools such as Compass help keep captains and crew current in an increasingly complex maritime environment.
At the centre of the discussion is a leadership principle every captain, officer, and crew member can learn from:
A captain is only as strong as the team around them.
This episode is essential listening for yacht captains, officers, bridge teams, crew, management companies, and anyone interested in superyacht operations, maritime leadership, and career progression at sea.
Topics include:
• Moving from commercial shipping into yachting
• Life as Captain of a 90-metre superyacht
• Building and managing a bridge team
• Commercial maritime standards in the superyacht industry

Healing has become one of the most overused words in modern wellness.
In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy looks at what healing really requires when we move beyond quick fixes, surface-level wellness, and the latest trends in longevity technology.
Geraldine discusses peptides, exosomes, stem cells, personalised infusions, infrared therapy, cold plunges, and performance-focused health tools, while making the point that technology can support the body, but it cannot replace the deeper work.
True healing, as Geraldine explains, requires looking at the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic layers of a person. It means asking what sits beneath the symptom, why certain triggers appear, how trauma and burnout affect the body, and why emotions must be felt rather than bypassed.
Drawing from yoga philosophy, Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine, energy medicine, sound healing, reiki, clinical hypnotherapy, quantum healing, trauma work, and modern science, Geraldine explores why healing is not about choosing one world over another. It is about understanding how ancient wisdom and modern science can work together.
This episode explores:
• Why there is no quick fix to healing
• How longevity technology can support, but not replace, inner work
• Why symptoms are only one part of the healing process
• The importance of understanding root causes
• How trauma, burnout, grief, and emotional triggers affect the body
• Why emotions need to move through the body rather than remain stuck
• How ancient practices and modern science can work together
• Why no coach, practitioner, protocol, or treatment can do the work for you
Geraldine’s message is clear:
Technology can support the process. Practitioners can guide it. Protocols can help.
But the real work begins within.

Yacht classification can feel complicated from the outside, but at its core it is about safety, preparation, communication, and keeping a vessel operating properly.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin sits down with Davide Di Biasi of RINA for a practical conversation about yacht class, surveys, compliance, safety standards, digital tools, and why classification societies should be seen as partners to the vessel rather than obstacles.
Davide explains how class supports captains, engineers, yacht managers, owners, and brokers by helping vessels remain compliant, safe, and prepared for operation. He also discusses why understanding the reason behind the rules matters just as much as meeting the requirement itself.
The conversation covers the importance of preparing for survey windows in advance, communicating with local surveyors, keeping the right rules and documentation available onboard, and avoiding unnecessary surprises, delays, and costs.
Captain Liam and Davide also explore RINA’s long history in maritime, its dedicated yachting expertise, the role of IACS, the process of changing class, and why yacht-specific knowledge matters when working with superyachts.
The episode also looks ahead to future technology in yachting, including nuclear propulsion, alternative energy, digital documentation, Certica Yachting, and how smarter systems can reduce workload onboard.
Topics include:
▪ Yacht classification and compliance
▪ Class surveys and survey preparation
▪ RINA’s role in the yachting sector
▪ IACS and changing class
▪ Safety rules and why they exist
▪ Communication between crew and surveyors
▪ Digital tools for yacht operations
▪ Certica Yachting and RINA Digital
▪ Nuclear propulsion and future yacht technology
▪ How captains and crew can avoid survey surprises

In this episode of Women in Maritime, Julia Gosling speaks with Margareta Jensen Dickson, Chief People and Communications Officer at Stena Line, about leadership, inclusion, career growth, and what it means to help change a traditional industry from the inside.
Margareta’s career did not begin in maritime. Her path moved through finance, HR, hospitality, retail, aviation, and organisational transformation before she joined Stena Line and grew into a senior leadership role across people, communication, brand, and crewing.
This conversation centres on the woman behind the title. Margareta reflects on entering a male-dominated industry, being the only woman in senior spaces, learning to trust her instincts, balancing motherhood with responsibility and travel, and why mentoring the next generation matters.
She also shares why inclusion cannot exist only as policy. It has to be built through culture, leadership, accountability, psychological safety, and the everyday actions that shape how people work together.
A thoughtful conversation about patience, courage, self-trust, and the human side of maritime leadership.

Yacht crew can earn serious money very early in life, often with very few living expenses. That should be a massive advantage. Too often, it becomes a missed opportunity.
In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar speaks with Dr. Pieter de Villiers of Money Marx about what really happens when high income meets low structure, lifestyle inflation, bad habits, and the financial chaos that can come with life at sea.
This is not a dry money lecture. It is a straight conversation about why so many crew can spend years in yachting, earn more than they ever thought possible, and still walk away with very little to show for it.
Pieter brings the perspective of a financial planner, educator, and former veterinarian who built Money Marx after realising how little most people are taught about managing money. Together, he and Charl break down the basics that actually matter: budgeting, debt, emergency funds, investing, behaviour, fees, and why the first job is not to look wealthy, but to become financially solid.
They also get into the psychology of yachting. When crew work around extreme wealth every day, spending can start to feel distorted. A handbag, a beach club bill, or a few wild nights out may seem small compared to the world around them, but those choices can quietly burn through the very income that could have changed their future.
This conversation is blunt, practical, and badly needed. Yachting gives crew one of the rarest financial opportunities in the world: strong earnings, low expenses, time, and mobility. The question is whether that window gets used properly or wasted.
Topics covered include:
• Why yacht crew have such a rare financial opportunity
• Budgeting, debt, and emergency funds
• Why emergency funds need to be based on land life, not yacht life
• The difference between financial knowledge and financial behaviour
• Lifestyle inflation in yachting
• Investing products, buckets, and long-term planning
• Index funds and staying the course
• Fee traps and financial products crew should question

What happens when you know something is wrong for you, but you keep ignoring it anyway?
In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy explores truthfulness, honesty, and why being real with yourself is one of the deepest forms of self-care.
Drawing from the yogic principle of Satya, Geraldine reflects on what it means to stop betraying yourself, especially when your body, intuition, and inner voice are already telling you that something is no longer right.
Through a deeply personal passage from her book Moments That Matter, Geraldine shares a chapter of her life marked by overworking, studying full-time, holding down multiple jobs, replacing one addiction with another, and pushing herself toward burnout while ignoring the physical signs that her body was struggling.
This episode is not about surface-level wellness.
It is about truth.
Geraldine speaks honestly about the danger of pretending you are invincible, the cost of over-giving, the trauma patterns behind people-pleasing, and the moment we have to admit that we are running ourselves down. She also reflects on why setting boundaries is not selfish, why ignoring your body is never strength, and why real self-care begins when you stop lying to yourself.
This is a grounded, honest, and deeply personal reflection for anyone who has pushed beyond their limits, taken on too much, said yes when they needed to say no, or mistaken survival mode for strength.
This episode explores:
• What Satya means within yoga philosophy
• Why truthfulness is central to self-care
• How self-betrayal can show up in everyday life
• Why burnout often begins before we admit it
• The danger of replacing one escape with another
• How overworking, over-giving, and people-pleasing disconnect us from ourselves
• Why the body eventually responds when we ignore our limits
• How yacht crew and high-pressure professionals can mistake exhaustion for resilience
• Why boundaries are not entitlement or selfishness
• How to ask whether you are being truthful, loving, and caring toward yourself
Geraldine’s message is clear:
You cannot continue lying to yourself and expect your body, mind, and spirit to carry the weight forever.

Yacht crew life is often seen from the outside as travel, sunshine, and beautiful destinations. But behind the scenes, building a career in the superyacht industry takes discipline, adaptability, resilience, and the ability to stay grounded while living and working at sea.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin sits down with Eleisha Mealing, better known on Instagram as @EleishaOnDeck, for an honest conversation about yacht crew life, deck progression, social media, mental reset, and what it really means to lead from the deck.

Yacht crew careers do not begin with glamour. They begin with training, resilience, humility, and the willingness to learn from the ground up.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey speaks with Charlie Streeten, a recent UKSA cadetship graduate, about what it really looks like to take the first steps into the yachting industry.
Charlie shares how his early experience in a boatyard in Cornwall helped shape his interest in yachting, why he chose the UKSA cadetship, and what the programme taught him about seamanship, deck skills, engineering pathways, crew life, and the reality of working at sea.
The conversation covers the practical side of starting out, from learning to live and work closely with others, to navigating recruitment agencies, avoiding scams, considering dockwalking and day work, and staying resilient while searching for that first role.
For young crew looking at yachting as a serious career, Charlie’s story offers a grounded look at what the industry demands, what training can provide, and why attitude matters as much as qualifications.
In this episode:
• Charlie Streeten’s route from school to yachting
• How boatyard experience helped shape his direction
• Why the UKSA cadetship became the right pathway
• What cadets learn during the programme
• Life onboard as part of a crew

🌊 Yacht crew are not just working at sea. They are often the first to see the ocean changing.
In this episode of On The Bridge, host Alicia Store, COO of dsnm Ltd, speaks with Gill Rodrigues, Director International Relations at The International SeaKeepers Society, about how private yachts, captains, crew, owners, and the wider superyacht industry can support ocean conservation, marine research, citizen science, education, and practical action at sea.

Can an NDA stop yacht crew from reporting crime, abuse, harassment, unsafe working conditions, or wrongdoing onboard?
In this episode of Forward Watch, host Karine Rayson speaks with Benjamin Maltby of Keystone Law about one of the most misunderstood legal issues in the superyacht industry: NDAs and crew rights.
NDAs have a legitimate purpose. They can protect owner privacy, itineraries, commercial information, security details, and family confidentiality. But they cannot be used to prevent the reporting of criminal conduct.
This conversation examines the line between protecting privacy and covering up wrongdoing, from social media breaches, drug use onboard, assault, hush money, unfair dismissal, and lifetime confidentiality clauses, to injuries, overwork, death onboard, and the complex question of which law applies when flag state, port state, and crew nationality overlap.
Benjamin is clear that he speaks from the perspective of English law and that this discussion does not constitute legal advice. But for crew, captains, managers, owners, and DPAs, the wider message is vital: legal documents should be understood, not feared, and confidentiality must never become a shield for unsafe practice, abuse, or silence.
Because protecting privacy matters.
Protecting people matters more.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
• What NDAs are actually designed to protect in yachting
• Whether an NDA can stop crew from reporting crime or abuse
• What happens when crew breach confidentiality rules
• Why social media can create privacy and security risks
• How criminal conduct should be reported onboard
• Why retaliation after reporting may lead to unfair dismissal claims
• What lifetime confidentiality really means
• When hush money can become legally dangerous
• Which law may apply at sea
• Why union support and early advice matter before something goes wrong

What happens when your body forces you to stop and listen?
In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy shares one of her most vulnerable reflections yet, opening up about the health scare that became a turning point in her life.
After discovering a tennis ball-sized tumor in her breast, Geraldine was forced to confront more than a physical diagnosis. Although the tumor was benign, the experience became a wake-up call that pushed her to examine burnout, emotional disconnection, people-pleasing, trauma, old habits, and the version of herself that could no longer survive by performing strength on the outside while suffering quietly within.
Geraldine explores what radical self-care really means when surface-level change is no longer enough. This is not about doing more yoga, eating cleaner, or pretending wellness is a quick fix. It is about changing from within.
She reflects on stepping away from energy-draining people, rebuilding her self-care routine, working with meditation and trauma alchemy, supporting the nervous system, and learning to stop seeking external validation during transformation.
This is a raw and grounded episode about listening when the body speaks, facing what has been buried, and choosing healing before life has to get louder.
Topics include:
• Radical self-care beyond surface wellness
• Burnout, trauma, and emotional disconnection
• Health scares as turning points
• Nervous system healing and inner work
• Letting go of energy-draining people
• Rebuilding discipline, boundaries, and self-trust
• Facing grief, anger, fear, and emotional residue
Geraldine’s message is clear:
When your body gives you a warning, listen before life has to get louder.

In Part 3 of this three-part UNCENSORED legal series, host Marién Sarriera is joined again by maritime lawyer and former seafarer Adria Notari for a practical conversation about legal protection after accidents, deaths, suicide, serious injuries, and unsafe situations at sea.
This final episode focuses on when crew members or families should contact a lawyer, why early legal advice matters, and how to choose the right maritime attorney. Adria explains why flag state is not always the final answer, how flags of convenience can complicate legal claims, and why crew should understand the role of SEA agreements, owners, employers, and insurance companies.
The conversation also covers legal deadlines, disclosure traps, cumulative trauma, repetitive injuries, reporting unsafe working conditions, and the damaging myth that nothing can be done once something goes wrong.
For yacht crew, seafarers, families, and anyone working in the maritime industry, this episode is about understanding your rights before you need them.

Before Captain Kerry Titheradge became known to millions through Below Deck, he built his life at sea the hard way.
In this episode of Yachting USA, Captain Kerry joins Rick Thomas for a rare and deeply honest conversation about the career, discipline, setbacks, healing, and leadership journey that shaped him long before television entered the picture.
Kerry traces his path from parasailing boats and commercial vessels to landing barges, yacht engineering, refit work, luxury yacht service, and eventually superyacht command. He talks about grinding for sea time, taking night jobs, working for free when necessary, learning from every vessel he stepped onto, and earning the experience that would later carry him into the public eye through Below Deck Adventure and the main Below Deck franchise.
But this episode is not only about a captain’s maritime career. It is about what happens behind the title.
Kerry speaks openly about depression, divorce, grief, therapy, medication, meditation, breathwork, accountability, and the personal work that changed how he leads. He also shares why he started Mental Health Mondays, using his platform to speak honestly about difficult moments while offering practical tools that may help others move through their own.
This is a yachting conversation with real depth: commercial boating, superyacht leadership, white boat service, Below Deck, mental health, resilience, accountability, and the courage it takes to keep rebuilding without pretending the hard parts never happened.

🌊 When conflict reaches the sea, it is seafarers who are left carrying the human cost.
In this episode of Sea Views, host Julia Gosling is joined by co-host Dave Watkins, Deputy Director of CHIRP Maritime, with guests Capt. Samarth Sinha and Dr Rachel Glynn-Williams for a powerful and necessary conversation about the reality facing crews in conflict zones, including the Strait of Hormuz.
This is not an abstract discussion about geopolitics. It is about the people onboard.
Capt. Samarth Sinha speaks from direct experience at sea, explaining what happens when crews are stuck at anchor with limited food, water and fuel, surrounded by uncertainty, false reports, fatigue, fear and the threat of attack. Dave Watkins shares the long shadow of his own experience with piracy, while Dr Rachel Glynn-Williams explains what trauma, adrenaline, decompression, peer support and recovery mean in real human terms.
This conversation puts the seafarer back where they belong: at the centre of maritime safety, global trade, leadership, duty of care and conflict-zone decision-making. Because when ships become soft targets, crews carry the consequences physically, operationally and psychologically.
Ships do not move without people.
Global trade does not move without seafarers.
And civilian crews should never be treated as acceptable targets.
Capt. Samarth makes the point that must be heard across the industry: ships should be recognised and protected as international civilian assets, and the targeting of civilian transport should be rejected by every nation.
This episode covers:
• Why seafaring stress begins with isolation and self-reliance
• What happens when crews are trapped at anchor in a conflict zone
• How rationing, uncertainty and false reports affect crew wellbeing
• The long-term psychological impact of piracy and traumatic incidents
• Why post-incident decompression is often overlooked
• How adrenaline keeps people functioning during crisis
• Signs that a seafarer may be struggling onboard
• Why leadership sets the psychological climate of a vessel
• The value of buddy systems, calm communication and trust
• Capt. Samarth’s practical MENTAL coping framework
• Exercise, routine and structure during crisis
• The double-edged role of social media and internet access at sea
• Why simple shared activities can rebuild crew connection
• Support charities, helplines and recovery after trauma
• Why ships must stop being treated as soft targets
This is a conversation for shipowners, managers, operators, charterers, maritime leaders, policymakers, families, and anyone who benefits from the work of seafarers.
Because the people who keep global trade moving deserve more than sympathy after the fact. They deserve protection before the damage is done.

What happens when the old version of you no longer fits, but the new version has not fully arrived yet?
In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy reflects on liminal space, family patterns, trauma healing, and the emotional reality of becoming someone you can no longer turn back from.
Drawing from her own experience growing up in a Chinese Peranakan and German family, losing her father at nineteen, navigating PTSD, and understanding family dynamics through the lens of healing, Geraldine explores why unresolved wounds cannot be fixed by money, status, or external success.
She also shares insight from her book, Moments That Matter, and explains how patterns repeat until they are seen, understood, and broken.
This episode explores the uncomfortable middle of transformation: the closed doors, the friendships that fall away, the pull of old identities, and the quiet knowing that the return path no longer exists.
Because real growth is not always clear while it is happening.
Sometimes it begins in the in-between.

Yacht management is becoming more digital, more connected, and more dependent on systems that reduce admin rather than add to it.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Andrew Edwards of Yacht Multiworks about AI yacht management, bridge logs, crew admin, hours of rest, invoice scanning, checklists, supplier searches, smart handovers, and the practical ways digital tools can support captains, crew, engineers, and management companies.
The conversation looks at one of the biggest operational problems onboard: too many disconnected systems, too much repeated paperwork, and too much valuable time lost to admin. Andrew explains how Yacht Multiworks is being built to bring core yacht operations into one platform, helping teams work more efficiently while improving visibility, communication, and compliance.
This episode also includes a walkthrough of the Yacht Multiworks platform. The audio conversation stands on its own, but the platform demonstration is better viewed on YouTube for those who want to see how the system works visually.

What does sustainable footwear look like when it is built for real marine environments?
In this episode of The Bridge, host Alex Siegars speaks with Alan Guyan, Founder and CEO of made+, at the Palm Beach International Boat Show about yacht footwear, sustainable materials, domestic manufacturing, marine performance, and why practical design matters around docks, decks, and yachts.
Based in Annapolis, Maryland, made+ is creating footwear with a focus on reducing waste, using recycled materials, and building shoes designed to last. Alan explains how the company uses recycled plastic bottles in its shoe uppers, Michelin outsoles for grip and performance, and removable components that allow the shoes to be washed and used longer.
For yacht crew, captains, marine professionals, and anyone working around the water, footwear is not just about appearance. It has to be comfortable, cleanable, reliable, and suited to demanding marine environments.
In this episode:
• Why made+ is focused on sustainable footwear
• How recycled plastic bottles are used in the shoe uppers
• Why durability matters in marine and yachting environments
• The importance of washable, practical footwear
• How Michelin outsoles support grip and performance
• Why domestic manufacturing still matters

Yacht crew safety cannot depend on silence, luck, or hoping someone speaks up before something goes wrong.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, speaks with Devlin Cathey, Founder of All Safe Yachting, about practical systems designed to help protect yacht crew onboard and ashore.
After years in the industry as a yacht chef, Devlin saw the pressure, isolation, fatigue, and hidden realities that many crew face behind the scenes. Following the loss of Paige Bell, he created All Safe Yachting to support stronger crew safety infrastructure, including panic button technology, anonymous reporting, mental health support, and better oversight for captains and management.
This conversation looks at prevention, accountability, reporting, crew welfare, and why serious concerns need systems that cannot simply disappear when they become uncomfortable.
Yachting is being forced to grow up. Crew safety, reporting, mental health, transparency, and accountability are no longer optional extras. They are part of what a professional industry should already have in place.

Can coral restoration become a scalable business capable of protecting reefs, coastlines, economies, and communities?
In this episode of The Blue Economy, Katherine O’Fallon, Executive Director of the Marine Research Hub of South Florida, sits down with Sam Teicher, Co-Founder of Coral Vita, to explore how coral restoration is moving from traditional conservation work into a scalable blue economy model.
Together, they unpack how Coral Vita is growing climate-resilient corals, building land-based coral farms, using technology and data to improve restoration outcomes, and creating a business model that supports reef recovery at a scale traditional funding alone cannot achieve.
From coral nurseries, reef protection, and coastal resilience to investment, innovation, local workforce development, and the future of restoration technology, this conversation shows why coral reefs are not only ecological treasures, but critical infrastructure for the future of coastal economies.
In this episode:
• Why coral reefs matter to tourism, fisheries, coastlines, and global economies
• How Coral Vita is scaling coral restoration as a business
• Why traditional grant-funded restoration is not enough on its own
• How land-based coral farms help grow stronger, more resilient corals
• What Brain Coral technology brings to monitoring, data, and transparency
• Why coral reefs act as natural coastal protection
• How restoration connects to ports, development, and environmental mitigation
• Why investors, family offices, and ocean-focused funds are paying attention
• How coral restoration creates jobs beyond marine biology
• Where the biggest opportunities lie for the future of reef recovery

A crew member reports sexual assault onboard. The captain may have decades at sea, but no formal training on how to handle that situation.
In this episode of The Wellbeing Project, Karine Rayson of The Crew Coach speaks with Chris O’Flaherty of The Nautical Institute about a serious gap in maritime regulation, onboard leadership, and crew safety.
Recent STCW amendments now include harassment prevention and sexual assault response training, but the training has been added to PSSR, a once-in-a-career certificate. That means many captains, officers, heads of department, and senior crew already working at sea may never be required to complete it.
The conversation looks at what this means for yacht crew, why the regulation matters, where it falls short, and why owners, operators, captains, and management companies cannot rely on compliance alone.
Because when something happens onboard, policy does not respond first. People do.
And if those people are not trained, the risk is very real.
In this conversation:
• Why the new STCW changes matter
• The problem with placing this training inside PSSR
• Why many existing captains and senior crew may be exempt
• What sexual harassment and assault response means in practice
• The role of flag state, company responsibility, and onboard leadership
• Why crew safety depends on culture, training, and accountability

What happens when inherited wealth, family legacy, pressure, and neurodivergence collide?
In this episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, Geraldine speaks with Octavian Sigismund Maria Gotthard Graf Pilati von Thassul zu Daxberg about aristocratic family history, inherited responsibility, family business crisis, neurodivergence, and the personal cost of carrying pressure from a young age.
Octavian comes from a historic European family and was pulled into a major family and business crisis in his mid-twenties. That experience shaped his work around antifragile families, family governance, generational wealth, and the importance of building family systems that do not collapse under pressure.
The conversation explores the reality behind privilege, succession, family expectations, burnout, decision fatigue, and the emotional weight that can sit behind wealth. Octavian also speaks openly about AuDHD, meaning Autism and ADHD, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, POTS, sensory overload, alcohol sensitivity, nutrition, and the role self-awareness plays in managing health and leadership.
Octavian is the founder of The Antifragile Family®, a publication and framework focused on helping families survive wealth, legacy, crisis, and succession by becoming stronger under pressure. His main website also positions his work around antifragility, generational legacy, family business dynamics, governance, and crisis management.

Yacht crew sea time should never depend on lost paperwork, forgotten logbooks, or last-minute panic before a course.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Jack Haworth, Co-Founder of Digital Sea Service, about how DSS is helping yacht crew, captains, and vessels manage sea time, verification, reports, and career progression more efficiently.
This is a practical conversation about one of the most common admin problems in yachting: crew losing valuable sea time because records are still too manual, too fragmented, or left until they become urgent.
Jack explains how Digital Sea Service was created, why sea time needs to be protected from day one, and how digital records, automated testimonials, PDFs, verification support, career tracking, and achievement-based features can help both crew and vessels save time.
The conversation also looks at vessel responsibility, free access for junior crew, technology onboard, AI, drones, and why better digital tools should free captains and officers to focus more on training, leadership, people, and guest experience.
Key topics include:
• Why yacht crew lose valuable sea time
• How Digital Sea Service helps record and manage sea time
• Why captains and chief officers need better admin tools
• Automated reports, PDFs, and crew testimonials
• Verification, digital signatures, and vessel data
• Career tracking and achievement-based crew progression
• Why free access matters for junior crew
• How technology is changing yacht operations

Yachting has no shortage of money, but far fewer examples of it being used to create something tangible outside the industry.
In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) sits down with Thomas Hearn, Co-Founder and Chairman of Home Ghana, to talk through how a short volunteer trip turned into building schools, supporting education, and creating long-term opportunities in Ghana.
What makes this conversation worth attention is the execution. There was no large organisation behind it, no external structure doing the heavy lifting. They stayed, used what they had, and gradually built something that now continues to grow with support from within the yachting network, particularly yacht crew.
The discussion also touches on trust and transparency in charitable work, and why Home Ghana has structured itself to ensure people can clearly see where funding goes and how it is used.
From there, the focus moves to the vocational skill centre they are developing, designed to provide practical, income-generating skills and create a path toward long-term independence rather than short-term support.
🔹 In this episode:
• How Home Ghana started and why they stayed
• The role of the yachting network in its growth
• Where traditional charity models lose trust
• The structure behind their transparency model
• The development of the vocational skill centre
• How individuals can get involved or support

There are parts of the yachting industry that are still being handled quietly, often left unspoken or dealt with behind closed doors. This conversation brings them forward.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, is joined by Cherise Reedman, Founder of Yacht Pearls of Wisdom and host of Superyacht Laundry, to examine the reality of crew safety, leadership accountability, and the structures that exist onboard today.
This is not speculation. It is grounded in data.
More than 900 women have contributed to the Female Yacht Crew Safety Survey, resulting in over 1,600 reported incidents across the yachting industry. What becomes clear is not only the scale of the issue, but the inconsistency in how incidents are handled once they are reported.
The discussion moves beyond individual cases and into the broader environment onboard, looking at how leadership, training, and culture directly impact safety, retention, and the long-term sustainability of the industry.
This episode addresses:
• Crew safety and reporting realities in yachting
• Leadership responsibility and accountability onboard
• The gap in training and support for crew
• Toxic onboard environments and retention challenges
• Why reporting does not always lead to action
• The role of captains in setting standards and culture

Growth does not always feel empowering. Sometimes, it feels like losing the version of yourself that once made sense.
In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy explores what happens when you evolve beyond your old identity and why going back is not an option.
Reflecting on her journey while writing and reshaping her book, Geraldine shares how personal growth can create distance between who you were and who you are becoming. The same conversations, environments, and relationships begin to feel different, and the pull to return to what is familiar becomes stronger.
But familiar is not always aligned.
This episode challenges that instinct and asks a more important question. Are you willing to move forward, even when it feels uncertain?
Geraldine breaks down the importance of self-respect, the role of external validation in keeping people stuck, and why embracing both the light and dark sides of yourself is essential for real change.
This is not about perfection.
It is about being honest enough to accept that you are no longer who you were, and strong enough not to shrink back into it.
Because growth demands movement.
And the moment you start choosing yourself differently, everything else either rises with you or falls away.

In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) sits down with Tim Davey, Founder and Managing Director of Global Marine Travel, to unpack what really sits behind something as simple as getting crew from one place to another.
In yachting, it is never simple. Plans shift without warning, owners change direction, and what looks like a routine booking quickly becomes a logistical problem that needs to be handled properly.
This conversation breaks down why the cheapest option is often the most expensive mistake, how flexible fares protect operations, and why human support still matters in an industry that runs around the clock.

Can nuclear power transform global shipping, or does the risk outweigh the reward?
In this episode of Sea Views, hosts Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell sit down with Martin King, Nuclear Systems Manager, and Paul Roberts, Senior Engineer at Naval Solutions Ltd, to unpack one of the most complex and debated topics in modern maritime: nuclear propulsion.
Drawing on decades of experience in submarine operations and nuclear engineering, this conversation breaks down how nuclear reactors actually work at sea, why they are being reconsidered for commercial shipping, and what still stands in the way.
This is not theoretical. It is a real discussion happening across regulators, engineers, and industry leaders today.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
• What nuclear propulsion is and how it powers ships
• The difference between military and commercial nuclear reactors
• Why nuclear energy is being reconsidered for decarbonizing shipping
• The role of microreactors and modular reactor design
• Safety systems, accident scenarios, and intrinsic safeguards
• Insurance, liability, and the lack of global frameworks
• Public perception and the challenge of social acceptance
• Reactor lifespan, decommissioning, and waste management
• Potential business models for nuclear-powered fleets
• How the IMO and regulators are approaching nuclear shipping
• Timeline predictions for nuclear adoption in commercial vessels
Nuclear propulsion is no longer a fringe idea.
But the path forward depends on far more than technology.
Regulation. Insurance. Public trust.
And the question the industry still hasn’t answered:
Is it ready?

Trauma does not stay in the past. It shapes behaviour, relationships, health, and the patterns we repeat until they are consciously addressed.
In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy shares a deeply personal reflection on her upcoming book Moments That Matter: A Journey of Healing, Remembering, and Unbecoming, and the lived experiences that led her to understand how trauma embeds itself across every layer of our lives.
Drawing from her own journey through illness, burnout, and destructive relationship cycles, Geraldine explains why unresolved emotional wounds do not simply fade over time. They show up in the body, influence decision-making, and keep people locked in repeating patterns until responsibility is taken.
This is not surface-level healing.
It is about recognizing patterns, understanding their origin, and doing the work required to break them.
In this episode:
• How trauma embeds itself in behaviour, relationships, and physical health
• The link between self-worth and repeated life patterns
• Why emotional wounds can manifest as illness and burnout
• How personal and professional cycles mirror each other
• Why leaving a situation does not end the pattern
• The role of responsibility in real, lasting change
• How victimhood keeps patterns in place
• Recognizing the moments that force awareness and transformation
Geraldine also shares powerful personal experiences, including overcoming autoimmune challenges, navigating illness without surgery, and leaving harmful environments by first shifting internally.
Her message is clear:
Awareness without action changes nothing.
Real healing comes from doing the deeper work.

Accidents at sea are not rare. What is rare is crew fully understanding what happens next.
In Part 2 of this three-part UNCENSORED maritime legal series, host Marién Sarriera sits down with maritime lawyer and former officer Adria Notari to break down the legal realities of injury on board and what crew must do to protect themselves from the moment something goes wrong.
From immediate medical care and employer responsibility to repatriation, salary rights, and liability, this episode exposes the legal framework that sits behind every incident at sea. It also highlights where crew unintentionally put themselves at risk, often without realising it, through early statements, lack of documentation, or misunderstanding their rights.
This is not theory. It is the system that applies whether crew are aware of it or not.
• What to do immediately after an injury on board
• Who is responsible for medical care and treatment
• Why documenting incidents matters
• Delayed injuries and how they are treated legally
• Surgery, repatriation, and recovery decisions
• Salary and contract rights during recovery
• Off-duty injuries and when maritime law still applies
• The most common mistakes crew make after an accident
• Alcohol, fatigue, and understaffing in liability
• Witness protections and the right to refuse unsafe work
• Why early legal advice can change the outcome

Superyacht brokerage is not what yacht crew think it is.
And life after yachting is where most people get caught out.
In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) sits down with yacht broker Antonio Palazuelos Archdale of FGI Yachts to break down the reality of transitioning from yacht crew to land-based careers in the yachting industry.
From entering yacht brokerage with no network to spending heavily before closing a single deal, Antonio explains why the superyacht brokerage world is a long-term game built on relationships, persistence, and financial resilience.
The conversation then shifts into life after yachting. What happens when the structure disappears, expenses become real, and time is no longer controlled for you. They unpack the financial shock many crew face, the challenges of managing time on land, and why so many people underestimate how difficult the transition can be.
They also take a hard look at lifestyle creep in yachting, from hobby spending to luxury traps, and why failing to plan ahead leaves too many crew starting over with nothing despite years of high income.

Trauma does not stay in the past. It shapes behaviour, influences decisions, and drives the patterns people continue to repeat in relationships, health, and life.
In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy shares a deeply personal and grounded perspective on trauma, self-worth, and the cycles that continue until they are consciously addressed. Drawing from her own experiences with illness, burnout, and repeated relationship dynamics, she explains how unresolved emotional wounds can manifest physically and influence both personal and professional outcomes.

• The connection between self-worth and the environments we accept
• Why unresolved emotional wounds can manifest as physical illness
• The link between burnout, chronic conditions, and deeper causes

Because healing is not about coping.
It is about breaking the cycle.

What does it actually take to build a career and business inside the superyacht industry?
In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas speaks with Morgan Sandoval, Founder of Morganized and Head of Sponsorship & Partnerships for the Global Superyacht Forum Miami.
Morgan’s pathway into yachting reflects the reality of how many careers in this industry are built. From corporate roles in New York supporting senior executives, through COVID layoffs, and into entry-level boating roles, her progression into yacht brokerage and now consulting was developed step by step through experience, adaptability, and operational awareness.

Drawing on nearly 30 years of experience across movement, breathwork, and therapeutic practice, Geraldine explains why self-trust, energy protection, and alignment are not optional for those operating in demanding environments where pressure, expectation, and external influence are constant.
This is not theory.
It is a practical look at how people lose alignment, how outside voices influence direction, and what it takes to stay grounded when building something, transitioning careers, or navigating uncertainty.
In this episode:
This episode is for crew, founders, leaders, and professionals who are expected to perform at a high level, while maintaining clarity, resilience, and direction.

What actually happens when someone dies at sea, and what rights do crew and families really have?
This is Part One of a three-part Maritime Legal Series on UNCENSORED, focused on death at sea and the legal reality that follows.
Death at sea is one of the most complex and least understood areas of maritime law, yet it directly affects seafarers, yacht crew, and maritime professionals worldwide.
In this episode, host Marién Sarriera is joined by maritime lawyer and former officer Adria Notari to break down what happens after a fatal accident, suspected suicide, or serious onboard incident.
This conversation answers the questions most crew don’t think about until it’s too late. Who gets notified? What are the employer’s responsibilities? What happens to the investigation, the repatriation, and the crew member’s legal rights?
It also exposes a critical issue within the industry. Maritime law is structured to protect commerce first, not crew, and in the aftermath of a death at sea, families are often left navigating grief while being asked to make legal decisions they do not fully understand.
One of the most important takeaways from this episode is simple. Do not sign anything without independent legal advice.
Key topics include death at sea procedures, seafarers’ rights, maritime law, crew contracts, emergency contacts, repatriation, investigations, wrongful death claims, and legal protections for yacht crew and maritime workers.
This is essential listening for anyone working at sea or responsible for crew welfare.

She also discusses how constant exposure to negative information and global instability can intensify these responses.
This conversation explores practical ways to support the body and mind during stressful periods, including movement, breathwork, meditation, and stepping away from overwhelming media cycles in order to restore balance.
Rather than avoiding difficult emotions, this episode reframes self care as emotional awareness, resilience, and learning how to respond consciously instead of reacting under pressure.
Because when uncertainty rises, the ability to stay grounded becomes essential.
In this episode
• Why global uncertainty can trigger anxiety and nervous system overload
• Signs your body may be experiencing trauma or stress responses
• Why panic, racing thoughts, and fatigue occur
• How movement and breathwork help regulate the nervous system

Emotional triggers, anger, grief, and boundary setting are not abstract spiritual ideas. They are leadership skills.
In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy explores what happens when heightened emotions rise to the surface and how to navigate them without reacting impulsively. Periods often associated with intensity, such as Mercury retrograde, can surface unresolved patterns, old grief, and unprocessed anger. The question is not why these emotions appear. The question is how we respond.
Drawing from trauma-informed therapy, nervous system regulation, yoga philosophy, and embodied awareness practices, Geraldine explains why anger often masks deeper grief and why reacting under pressure reinforces old cycles.
This episode explores:
• Emotional triggers and trauma responses
• The difference between reacting and responding

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping jobs. Billionaires are accelerating away from the middle class. And the superyacht market is still breaking records.
In this episode of Rich AF, host Charl Minnaar, The Yachting Investor, sits down with Kevin Koenig, yacht journalist and creator of The Yacht Fella, for a wide-ranging conversation on AI disruption, wealth inequality, yacht brokerage, and the psychology of ultra-wealth.
Kevin shares his journey from law and Goldman Sachs during the 2008 financial crisis to becoming one of the most respected voices in yacht journalism. They discuss authenticity in media, the rise of AI-generated writing, and why voice and credibility matter more than ever in a world flooded with automated content.
The conversation then turns to economics. What happens when automation targets white collar work? Is the widening wealth gap sustainable? Why are billionaires buying larger yachts while the 80 to 120 foot yacht segment feels pressure?
They also explore:
• The current state of the superyacht market
• Yacht brokerage realities and the 90 10 rule
• Why crew need a long term exit strategy
• AI replacing jobs and the future of work
• Kismet and the psychology of extreme luxury
• Why explorer yachts may represent a smarter long term vision
This episode connects Artificial Intelligence, billionaires, superyachts, and global economic shifts in a way few conversations inside the industry attempt.
If you follow luxury markets, the future of work, wealth trends, or the yacht industry, this is a discussion worth hearing.

This episode reflects personal opinion and industry experience. It is not financial advice.
Cyber risk in yachting is no longer theoretical. Superyachts are increasingly exposed to digital threats, ransomware, email spoofing, onboard system vulnerabilities and targeted cyber attacks. Yet many vessels remain underprepared.
In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of Yacht Workers Council, sits down with Matthew Roberts of Anchorpoint to examine what cyber security really means inside the superyacht industry.
As vessels become more connected through bridge systems, satellite communications, AV and IT infrastructure, crew devices and shore side management platforms, the operational attack surface expands. This conversation explores how cyber risk affects superyachts, crew, captains, owners and yacht management companies.
Topics covered include:
Cyber security is now an operational responsibility. As the superyacht sector evolves technologically, digital risk management must evolve alongside it.

What happens when spiritual leadership lacks integrity?
In this deeply reflective episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy explores the growing global conversation around spiritual leaders, ethical responsibility, discernment, and alignment within healing communities, coaching spaces, retreats, and online wellness platforms.
As discussions around authority, influence, and accountability continue to surface across industries, this episode offers a grounded and professional perspective rooted in trauma-informed practice, nervous system awareness, and embodied leadership.
With over 15 years of experience in yoga, therapeutic modalities, nervous system regulation, and holistic self-care education, Geraldine shares her observations on the difference between intellectual knowledge and lived integrity — and why true leadership must be embodied, not performed.
This episode discusses:
Geraldine also addresses a critical modern challenge: the rise of unqualified spiritual coaches and leaders who lack formal training in trauma, the nervous system, or therapeutic frameworks, and the potential risks this poses to vulnerable individuals seeking support.
Rather than promoting fear or cynicism, this episode reinforces personal sovereignty, self-awareness, and grounded intuition as the foundation of sustainable wellbeing and authentic healing.
At its core, this conversation reframes self-care as more than rest and recovery.
It is about discernment, emotional regulation, energetic awareness, and maintaining integrity in both leadership and personal growth.

Yacht crew are not bad with money.
They just live in a world where your boss flies in caviar by seaplane and your accommodation is free.
In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar, The Yachting Investor, sits down with Superyacht Chef Leandri Kerschbaumer to unpack what really happens to your money mindset inside the superyacht industry.
They talk lifestyle creep, tax-free salaries, beach club economics, and the slightly dangerous logic of “I’ll make it back next season.” Leandri shares why skipping university was her best financial decision, why “chasing men” turned out to be one of her more expensive ones, and why she believes money is currency, currency is energy, and it needs to flow.
Charl, naturally, challenges that perspective, because while yachting pays well, it also quietly distorts your sense of financial normal.
At one point he asks how she would spend one million dollars in a week.
Her answer?
“I would buy gold… which is technically an investment… and rare gems. And just don myself in gold and sparkles.”
It is playful. It is honest. And beneath it is a serious conversation about yacht crew spending habits, financial independence, exit strategies, and building something beyond the boat.
If you work in yachting, this one will feel familiar.

The superyacht industry is growing fast. Fleet expansion is accelerating, new builds are increasing, and operational demands are becoming more complex across the sector.
But growth without alignment creates risk.
In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas sits down with Joey Meen, IAMI GUEST Director and President of the Superyacht Alliance, to discuss the coordinated effort now underway to raise standards across the superyacht industry.
The Superyacht Alliance is not a discussion panel. It is a working coalition of associations focused on practical reform. The conversation explores crew welfare, fatigue and minimum manning realities, harmonisation of operational standards across vessel sizes, clearer employment contracts, onboarding consistency, and the development of a Superyacht Qualifications Framework to create structured career pathways both onboard and ashore.
With more than 600 large yachts currently under construction worldwide, retention, training, and operational consistency are no longer secondary concerns. They are structural imperatives.
This episode offers a serious look at how the industry is addressing safety culture, workforce sustainability, and long-term professional credibility.

What happens when your intuition tells you something is off?
In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy explores intuition, energetic boundaries and why founders must sometimes build quietly before they build publicly.
In a business culture that rewards constant visibility and updates, Geraldine reframes silence as discernment. When a project is still forming, when strategy is anchoring and agreements are not yet finalised, premature exposure can destabilise clarity and dilute conviction.
This episode explores:
• Why your first intuitive response is often the most accurate
• Protecting projects during their conception phase
• Remaining intentionally vague while direction solidifies
• Managing projections, assumptions and external pressure
• The connection between nervous system regulation and leadership
• Why silence can be a form of energetic stewardship
• Building with grounded conviction before seeking validation
Drawing from her experience as a founder operating in high-confidentiality environments, Geraldine explains why not everything needs to be shared in real time.
Silence is not secrecy.
It is maturity.
It is self-leadership.
For founders, entrepreneurs and leaders navigating early-stage ideas, this conversation offers a grounded reminder: trust your intuition, protect your energy and allow structure to settle before visibility follows.

In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Claire Hagen, Founder of The Armada Club, about why the traditional entry point into yachting no longer reflects how ultra-high-net-worth clients actually make decisions today.
They explore how privacy concerns, AI and changing expectations are reshaping client trust, and why short, real onboard experiences may become a more effective gateway into charter and ownership than legacy sales funnels.
The conversation also covers how a membership-led model can support brokers rather than bypass them, what this shift could mean for shipyards and designers, and why crew wellbeing and long-term career sustainability must sit at the centre of the industry’s future.

In this episode of Balls of Wisdom, host Cherise Reedman speaks with Paul Shepherd from CHIRP about how confidential safety reporting is quietly changing risk culture across the superyacht and wider yachting industry.
This is a practical, experience-led conversation about what actually prevents accidents onboard — not after an incident, but before one ever reaches a report, an investigation or the media.
Paul explains how CHIRP works, why near-miss reporting is one of the most powerful safety tools the industry has, and how real operational risk is often hidden behind minimum compliance standards.
The discussion also explores why some of the highest-risk areas onboard remain consistently under-reported, how fatigue and workload influence safety decisions, and why learning systems must reflect real yacht operations — not just regulatory minimums.

What do uncrewed surface vessels really mean for safety at sea, maritime jobs and the future of offshore operations?
In this episode of Sea Views, hosts Julia Gosling and Adam Parnell are joined by Simon Adams, founder of The USV Group, for a practical, operations-led conversation on how uncrewed and remotely operated vessels are actually being used today.
This episode cuts through the hype around autonomy and explains the real difference between remote operations and fully autonomous ships, how regulation is evolving, and why human oversight remains central to safe maritime operations.
The discussion covers how USVs are already supporting seabed survey, offshore wind, subsea cables, defence and surveillance, the environmental benefits of smaller and lower-fuel platforms, and what this technological shift means for seafarers, skills and future shore-based maritime careers.
Simon also explains why large, fully uncrewed commercial cargo ships are unlikely in the near term, what still limits true autonomy at sea, and what needs to change to allow safe testing and development within existing regulatory frameworks.
A clear, myth-busting look at uncrewed vessels, safety, regulation and the real future of maritime operations.

• How income protection works for yacht crew and why the majority of seafarers have no cover
• The increasing risk of offshore investment scams targeting crew
• The practical differences between South African and UK financial planning structures for seafarers
• How pensions, investments and protection need to be designed around international yacht careers
• Whether yacht management and employers should play a larger role in crew financial protection
• Why career progression, training, wellbeing and financial strategy must be treated as one system
The Crew Car is part of a wider industry initiative led by Yacht Workers Council to improve crew welfare, strengthen legal protections and support long-term, sustainable careers in yachting through practical, experience-led guidance.

In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas speaks with Estelle Viriot, former superyacht chef and founder of SEANERGY Yachting, about the realities of yacht crew welfare, mental health, burnout and reporting culture across the global superyacht industry.
This is an operational, experience-driven conversation about what life onboard really looks like for professional yacht crew and why current systems around leadership, references, NDAs and management structures often leave crew without safe pathways for support.
Drawing directly from her own onboard experience, Estelle explains what led her to step away from active crew life and build a digital platform designed to support crew before entering the industry, throughout their careers and after they step ashore.
The discussion explores the real impact of long charter seasons, extended working hours, fatigue, alcohol culture, power imbalance and the difficulty of reporting harassment and misconduct onboard. It also looks at why rotational roles, leadership accountability and practical wellbeing support are essential for the future of safe and sustainable yacht operations.
This episode is essential listening for yacht owners, captains, managers, recruiters and crew seeking realistic, experience-based insight into crew wellbeing, retention, safety culture and professional standards within the superyacht industry.

Balls of Wisdom is a special interview series under Superyacht Laundry, hosted by Cherise Reedman, spotlighting influential men who are actively shaping a safer and more accountable superyacht industry.
In this episode, Cherise Reedman speaks with Conrad Empson, known to many from Below Deck Mediterranean and founder of CrewPass, about the real loopholes that still exist in yacht hiring, background checks and crew compliance.
This is a direct, experience led conversation about how unsafe or unverified crew can still enter the industry, why CVs and employment history are rarely properly verified, and how repeat offenders can continue moving between yachts without meaningful accountability.
This episode covers
• Why fake or inflated sea time and CVs remain easy to hide
• What background checks in yachting actually reveal and what they miss
• How poor verification creates risk for crew, captains and owners
• Why digital verification and employment history tracking are becoming essential
• How accountability can improve safety and onboard culture
Balls of Wisdom focuses on men using their experience, leadership and technical solutions to help close the gaps in recruitment, compliance and crew welfare.

In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas is joined by Cherise Reedman, founder of Yacht Pearls of Wisdom and host of the Superyacht Laundry, for a detailed, experience-led discussion on superyacht crew welfare, onboard power dynamics, harassment and abuse, reference culture, NDAs and the structural barriers that continue to prevent meaningful reporting across the global yachting industry.
Cherise shares her personal journey into professional yachting, her transition out of life onboard and the motivation behind creating Yacht Pearls of Wisdom, a community designed to reconnect women after leaving the industry and to provide a safe space for honest conversations about intimidation, sexual harassment, career retaliation and the imbalance of power that continues to shape daily working life at sea. As stories began to surface through that community and later through Superyacht Laundry, clear patterns emerged around fear of references, contractual pressure, informal blacklisting and the lack of career-protected exit pathways for crew who experience serious incidents.
Recorded during the Superyacht Forum in Amsterdam, the conversation connects lived crew experience directly to operational, reputational and commercial risk for yacht owners, managers and the wider industry. When crew wellbeing is compromised, service standards decline, team stability weakens, safety margins narrow and retention becomes increasingly fragile, ultimately impacting owner experience and the credibility of superyachting as a professional, responsible global sector. The discussion also examines why interior crew remain structurally undervalued within regulation and minimum manning frameworks, how training and professional development are still treated as optional in a sector built on luxury and excellence, and why long-form, uncensored industry media is becoming one of the most effective tools for exposing issues that previously remained hidden.
This episode is essential listening for yacht owners, managers, captains, senior officers, crew agencies and maritime stakeholders seeking a realistic understanding of the cultural and structural challenges facing modern superyachting, and for anyone involved in shaping safer, more sustainable and more accountable working environments at sea.

Self-care is not about escaping life.
It is about nervous system regulation, trauma healing and sustainable performance under pressure while navigating real loss, responsibility and change.
In this deeply honest episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy explores the reality of the wounded healer and what real healing actually requires when life, leadership and personal responsibility collide. This is not a motivational conversation. It is a practical, experience-led discussion about trauma, burnout, addiction patterns, emotional suppression and nervous system regulation.
This episode is released at a meaningful moment for Geraldine, marking 28 years since the loss of her father. It is shared not for sympathy, but to acknowledge a reality rarely spoken about in professional and wellbeing spaces: those who guide, support and lead others are not exempt from grief, trauma or long-term nervous system conditioning.
The conversation explores how unprocessed trauma silently shapes behaviour, relationships and leadership, and why sustainable wellbeing must be built on regulation and emotional integration, not endurance.
In this episode you will hear:
This episode is for founders, leaders, professionals and creatives navigating transition, pressure and responsibility, especially those who appear capable and high-functioning while quietly carrying exhaustion, grief or emotional shutdown underneath.

Some of the most important conversations in yachting happen far from the spotlight.
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman speaks with Lydia Moss, Junior Yacht Manager and Business Development at Divergent Yachting, about a decade-long career spanning procurement, newbuild support, yacht management, and emerging marine technology.
Lydia offers a rare, full-spectrum perspective on how the yachting industry actually operates behind the scenes. From supporting complex newbuild projects to managing yachts that challenge conventional frameworks, she explains how roles often treated as separate are, in practice, deeply interconnected.
The conversation takes a grounded look at Black Pearl, focusing not on reputation or spectacle, but on the operational realities of managing a vessel that sits outside standard models. Lydia discusses how crew culture, sustainability ambition, advanced technology, and regulatory complexity intersect daily, and why managing unconventional yachts requires judgement, adaptability, and experience rather than rigid processes.
Looking ahead, the episode also explores developments through Knox Free, examining nuclear marine technology from a practical standpoint. Regulation, infrastructure, public perception, and timing are discussed as real constraints that shape adoption, offering insight into how innovation moves from concept into working practice within the industry.

Boat shows are no longer just places to display products.
They are where artificial intelligence, autonomy, connectivity, electrification, and ownership models intersect with real commercial decision-making.
In this episode of Yachting Unplugged, Kim Sweers “The Boat Boss” is joined by David Foulkes, Chairman and CEO of Brunswick Corporation, for a grounded, executive-level discussion on how the global marine industry is being reshaped.
Drawing on insights from CES (Consumer Electronics Show), Boot Düsseldorf, and the Miami International Boat Show, this conversation clearly distinguishes between where innovation originates, where it is refined, and where it ultimately converts into market impact.
This is not a promotional conversation.
It is a strategic one.
Key Themes Explored
• Why Brunswick is the only recreational marine company consistently exhibiting at CES
• How AI is moving from concept into embedded, operational marine systems
• What autonomy actually means in boating beyond headlines
• Why not all boat shows serve the same role in industry progress
• What European markets get right about engagement, scale, and participation
• Why Miami remains the industry’s most important commercial validation platform
• How technology, regulation, and access will shape the next phase of growth
Why This Episode Matters
The marine industry is no longer operating in isolation.
AI is no longer theoretical.
Autonomy is no longer experimental.
And global technology ecosystems are now directly influencing how boats are designed, built, sold, and operated.

Sustainability in yacht interiors is not driven by trends or labels. It is driven by how projects are designed, engineered, and executed from the very beginning.
In this episode of Positive Waves, we examine how precision engineering, lightweight construction, and prefabrication are reshaping sustainable practices within the superyacht interior sector. Rather than focusing solely on new materials, the conversation highlights how reducing waste before production begins delivers far greater environmental and operational impact.
A key focus is on designing out waste, optimising material use through detailed planning, and ensuring that interior structures are engineered for longevity and adaptability. When sustainability is embedded at the engineering stage, it becomes a measurable outcome of good design rather than an afterthought.
The episode also explores why aluminium remains one of the most sustainable structural materials in yacht interiors, how full 3D modelling supports future refits and modifications, and why lifecycle thinking is essential to reducing unnecessary strip-outs, rework, and material loss over time.
This is a practical, industry-grounded discussion that moves sustainability away from theory and into real-world application.

The superyacht industry has entered a new era of visibility, scrutiny, and political relevance — and there is no returning to the past.
In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas speaks with Christophe Bourillon, Chief Executive Officer of the Professional Yachting Association (PYA), for a direct, experience-driven discussion on where yachting now stands — and what must change to protect its future.
Recorded during METSTRADE and the Superyacht Forum in Amsterdam, this conversation examines how superyachts moved from a discreet luxury sector into mainstream political, environmental, and economic debate, and why perception now directly influences regulation, policy, and public tolerance.
Topics discussed include crew welfare and mental health, leadership pressure at captain level, training gaps, minimum standards versus operational reality, and why the industry’s lack of consolidated data leaves it exposed when dealing with regulators and policymakers.
Bourillon draws on his background in international lobbying and high-scrutiny industries to explain why yachting must evolve culturally as well as operationally — and what lessons it can realistically take from aviation, crisis management, and mature safety-critical sectors.
This is not a promotional conversation.
It is a factual assessment of where the superyacht industry sits today.

Self-care is not about escaping life. It is about learning how to stay regulated, resilient, and grounded while navigating real pressure, loss, change, and responsibility.
In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy speaks openly about burnout, emotional isolation, identity shifts, nervous system regulation, and what it actually takes to heal when life demands transformation. This is not love and light. This is real work.
Geraldine shares her lived experience of running a startup, navigating profound personal change, and rebuilding self-worth, alongside a grounded discussion on emotional integration, trauma patterns, founder resilience, and sustainable wellbeing.
The conversation explores why burnout is often a nervous system issue rather than a motivation problem, the difference between healing and spiritual bypassing, how emotional suppression keeps people stuck in repeated suffering cycles, and why founders, leaders, and high performers must learn regulation instead of endurance.
It also looks at the role of rest, movement, sleep, and awareness in long-term resilience, and how self-worth directly impacts boundaries, pricing, leadership decisions, and sustainability.
This episode is for founders, professionals, creatives, and anyone navigating a period of deep transition, especially those who appear strong on the outside but feel exhausted underneath.

Crew safety, crew wellbeing, and onboard culture are shaped long before a yacht ever leaves the dock. They begin with hiring decisions.
In this episode of UNCENSORED, host Marién Sarriera speaks with Captain Mark McDowell about truth, accountability, and why recruitment practices in yachting have a direct impact on safety at sea.
With more than two decades of experience as a superyacht captain, Captain McDowell breaks down how rushed reference checks, unchecked assumptions, and avoidance of difficult feedback quietly undermine professionalism, crew wellbeing, and long-term vessel stability. He explains why trust alone is not enough, how verification supports better leadership decisions, and why safety must be considered before a crew member ever steps onboard.
This conversation challenges long-standing hiring norms and explores what smarter, more structured recruitment looks like in a modern yachting industry that claims to value safety, accountability, and people.

Why does yachting keep talking about crew wellbeing while losing experienced people year after year?
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, host Cherise Reedman sits down with Xanthe Bowater, Founder of WaveWellness Solutions, for a raw, unfiltered conversation about crew burnout, leadership failure, and why the industry still struggles to modernise its approach to human welfare onboard.
Drawing on more than a decade working at sea, Xanthe shares the highs that make yachting unforgettable and the lows that quietly end careers. From unresolved trauma and isolation offshore to leadership roles filled without people management training, this episode examines how silence, stigma, and outdated systems continue to harm crew wellbeing, retention, and safety.
The discussion goes beyond mental health awareness and into operational reality. Interior teams carry guest experience, emotional labour, and emergency responsibility while remaining undervalued. Crew are afraid to ask for help because confidentiality is misunderstood. Younger generations are labelled as soft when they are simply unwilling to accept burnout as normal.
Xanthe also explains why WaveWellness Solutions was built using proven shore side Employee Assistance Program models, and why confidential, preventative wellbeing support is not a luxury but basic risk management for modern yachting operations.
This episode is essential listening for captains, yacht managers, owners, and crew who want to understand why the industry keeps repeating the same mistakes and what practical change actually looks like onboard.

💸 Two brothers. One very honest conversation about money.
In this episode of Rich AF, host Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) sits down with his brother Stefan for a raw, unscripted conversation about money, life, work, and the messy reality of growing up and figuring things out as adults.
What starts as sibling banter quickly turns into a candid discussion about upbringing, financial habits, career paths, and how money quietly shapes decisions around lifestyle, relationships, and long-term freedom. There is humour, self-awareness, a fair amount of swearing, and no pretending that anyone has this fully figured out.
They talk about yacht income versus land-based expenses, saving aggressively without becoming miserable, lifestyle creep, investing mindsets, property myths, and why chasing numbers alone rarely delivers the sense of security people expect. Marriage, prenups, and the uncomfortable truth about how late most couples talk about money also come up, openly and without sugarcoating.
This is not a how-to episode and it is not financial advice.
It is a real conversation between two people who grew up together, took very different paths, and are still learning what money is actually for.
Expect laughs, direct language, perspective, and the kind of honesty that makes you reflect on your own relationship with money.
🎧 Topics covered in this episode:
• Growing up and early money beliefs
• Yacht paychecks versus real-world costs
• Saving, investing, and lifestyle creep
• Financial independence versus chasing numbers
• Property, renting, and common money myths
• Money inside relationships and marriage
• Why money conversations matter earlier than most think
📌 This episode is for entertainment and personal experience only and does not constitute financial advice.
💬 Listener question:
When did you first realise that earning more money did not automatically make life simpler?
Crew safety and welfare are no longer side conversations in yachting — they are operational priorities.
In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas is joined by Paul Shepherd, Chair of the CHIRP Superyacht Board, alongside superyacht Chief Officer Jonas Wiesand.
Recorded at METSTRADE Amsterdam, this candid conversation examines the real risks crews face onboard yachts — from work-aloft incidents and unsafe diving operations to cultural barriers that prevent crew from speaking up before accidents happen.
At the center of the discussion is CHIRP (Confidential Hazardous Incident Reporting Programme), an independent, non-punitive reporting system that allows crew to confidentially share near-misses, hazardous practices, and safety concerns so the wider maritime and yachting industry can learn and improve.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why near-misses matter as much as accidents
• How unsafe “normal practice” becomes normalized onboard
• Work-aloft risks and recurring causes of serious incidents
• Diving operations, training gaps, and systemic failures
• The role of leadership and culture in crew safety
• What real safety culture looks like in professional yachting
• How confidential reporting protects crew, captains, and vessels
• Why yachting must learn from aviation’s safety systems
This is a practical, experience-driven discussion focused on prevention, accountability, and learning — not blame.
🛟 About CHIRP
CHIRP (Confidential Hazardous Incident Reporting Programme) enables maritime professionals to report safety concerns, hazardous incidents, and near-misses anonymously. Reports are fully de-identified, reviewed by experienced professionals, and shared with the industry to prevent future accidents and improve crew welfare.

In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy shares her personal daily practice as part of her instructor training, filmed and practiced in a busy, high-season gym environment where distraction and pressure are present.
Rather than removing external noise, the focus is on learning how to remain grounded, centred, and internally steady within it. This episode reframes self-care as a daily, multidimensional responsibility that supports the physical, emotional, mental, energetic, spiritual, and wisdom body.
Geraldine draws on her training in Tai Chi (Taijiquan) and Qigong, also known as Qi Gong and historically referred to as Chi Kung, alongside other grounding practices including yoga, dance, writing, studying, and functional movement. These practices are presented not as trends, but as practical tools for regulation, focus, and resilience.
The episode also reflects on hardship and disruption, including loss, illness, emotional strain, and life transitions, and how these experiences often become catalysts for growth, clarity, and internal strength when met with consistent practice and self-responsibility.
This conversation is for anyone navigating pressure, change, or uncertainty and seeking practical ways to return to centre and continue forward without losing alignment.

Crew safety in yachting is still too often built on assumptions, not systems.
In this episode of Superyacht Laundry, Cherise Reedman is joined by Amelia Hilton Pierce of CrewPass for a candid, experience-led conversation about crew vetting, background checks, and why inconsistent hiring standards continue to put people at risk onboard.
Amelia spent nearly a decade working on superyachts in senior interior leadership roles. She loved the work, the teams, and the standards. What ultimately pushed her shoreside was not burnout, but repeatedly feeling unprotected and being unable to fully protect her crew.
Together, Cherise and Amelia explore how weak vetting processes, leadership gaps, and unchecked credentials quietly undermine crew welfare, safety culture, and operational integrity across the yachting industry.
They also discuss how CrewPass has evolved from individual background checks into a broader compliance and verification system, covering criminal history checks, ID verification, certificate authentication, and enhanced online footprint screening.
This is a grounded, practical conversation about accountability at sea, based on lived experience rather than theory.
In This Episode, We Cover:
Yachts today are complex, high-risk environments with real human consequences.

Flag states are more than a name on the stern, they determine who protects crew, who investigates incidents, and how safety and welfare are enforced at sea.
In this episode of Forward Watch, Karine Rayson is joined by Captain Chris O’Flaherty, IMO Delegate and Senior Technical Adviser at The Nautical Institute, for a rare, inside look at how flag states actually operate — and why choosing the wrong one can have serious consequences for both owners and crew.
Drawing on 37 years as a Royal Navy captain and his current role representing seafarers at the International Maritime Organization, Chris explains how legal jurisdiction works under UNCLOS, how Port State Control exposes poor-performing flags, and what flag states will, and will not, investigate when serious incidents occur onboard.
The conversation also explores upcoming STCW amendments, including mandatory sexual harassment prevention and trauma-informed response training, and why global mental health awareness training for seafarers may still take until 2030 to become law.
This episode is essential listening for yacht crew, captains, managers, owners, and anyone who wants to understand where responsibility, leadership, and accountability truly sit in the maritime industry.
Key topics covered:
Forward Watch delivers clear, experience-driven insight into the regulatory forces shaping maritime operations — without spin, and without shortcuts.
Search and rescue at sea is not theory — it is split-second decision-making where lives, ships, and entire coastlines are on the line.
In this episode of Sea Views, host Julia Gosling is joined by Matt Baer, retired US Coast Guard captain and now Director of Emergency Response at Gallagher Marine Systems, for a rare, unfiltered look at how maritime search and rescue actually works in the real world.
Drawing on decades of frontline experience, Matt breaks down how major rescue operations are coordinated across borders, why merchant vessels are often the fastest first responders offshore, and how technology like EPIRBs, personal locator beacons, AIS, infrared imaging, and aerial surveillance is changing survival outcomes at sea.
This conversation moves beyond headlines into the realities professionals face — from mid-ocean rescues thousands of miles offshore, to next-of-kin notifications, to the hard decisions involved in suspending a search. Julia and Matt also compare UK and US search and rescue systems, highlighting where they differ, where they align, and what both still need to improve.
Key topics include:
Whether you work at sea, manage vessels, operate offshore, or simply want to understand how rescue really works when something goes wrong, this episode delivers rare insight from someone who has lived it.

Caroline Blatter — The Human Story Behind Trusted Superyacht Services
Caroline Blatter, Founder and Director of The Superyacht Services Guide, joins Cherise Reedman to share a remarkable path into yachting that began far from the docks of Europe. Trained as a physiotherapist and raised across Argentina and Brussels, Caroline stepped onboard through a decade-defining love story — and found herself helping to build one of the most recognized service directories in the global superyacht world.
What followed was not a brochure version of life at sea. Caroline recounts sailing 90-foot Zana two-handed with her husband Andrew, listening to crew across the Med and Caribbean, and turning their insight into a platform captains could actually trust when booking engineers, provisioners, finance advisers, and refit yards — especially when “yacht tax” and skepticism travel with every vessel.
Years later the family faced a different ocean entirely: young-onset dementia. Caroline speaks with honesty about diagnosis under 65, caregiving with four children at home, Andrew’s legacy, and why the next chapter matters — her son Tristan Devlin Blass stepping into the business and carrying forward a crew-verified mission that performance algorithms cannot dismiss.
The episode delivers high-intent keywords for: trusted yacht services, superyacht crew life, family dynamics in yachting, maritime training, and next-generation leadership across Monaco, Palma, Antibes, Antigua, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond.

Barefoot cruising is returning, and it challenges almost everything modern cruising has become.
In this episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas sits down with Charles J. Kropke, CEO of The Windjammer Way, to explore the revival of tall-ship sailing and the return of barefoot cruising built on freedom, flexibility, and authentic connection at sea.
Charles shares how Windjammer is rebuilding an iconic model rooted in small-ship exploration, captain-led itineraries, and deep respect for Caribbean culture and marine environments. Central to this story is the Mandalay, a 1923 sailing vessel with a remarkable history spanning luxury yachting and some of the most significant scientific research ever conducted at sea.
This conversation goes beyond nostalgia and into the realities of scale, examining how mass cruising has reshaped the guest experience, why smaller sailing ships can reach places others cannot, and how crew culture, community, and purpose play a defining role in meaningful travel on the ocean.
Listeners will gain insight into how Windjammer sits between luxury yacht charter and boutique cruising, why flexible itineraries matter, and how partnerships with research institutions and ocean science organizations are shaping the future of experiential sailing.
Episode Topics Include
* What barefoot cruising really means in today’s market
* Why tall ships offer access and authenticity big vessels cannot
* The Mandalay’s legacy as both a luxury yacht and research vessel

What does self-care actually look like when life breaks you open — and there’s no shortcut back?
In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy sits down with movement teacher and mentor Perry Idyll for an unfiltered conversation about depression, embodiment, nervous system regulation, and the long road back to inner stability.
Perry shares his journey from a conventional upbringing and music career in Los Angeles to a complete life reset in Thailand — shaped by years of depression, isolation during COVID, meditation, and deep somatic practices including Tai Chi and Qigong. Together, they explore why healing is not about optimization, positivity, or avoidance — but about learning how to stay present with discomfort, soften resistance, and rebuild trust in the body.
This conversation moves through movement as medicine, somatic awareness, spiritual deconstruction, emotional pain, and self-sovereignty — without performance, platitudes, or pressure to “fix” yourself.
This is not aspirational wellness.
This is lived, embodied self-care.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
Why movement is nervous system regulation, not just exercise
* How depression and burnout manifest in the body
* The role of somatic awareness in reducing rumination and stress
* Why Tai Chi and Qigong support emotional resilience and presence
* How going into* discomfort can shorten suffering
* The difference between spiritual concepts and embodied truth
* What self-sovereignty actually means in daily life

Yacht compliance is not optional — and it is never just paperwork.
In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin sits down with Captain Wendy Clark, Founder of Plumeria Marine, to unpack the compliance failures that quietly shut down charter programs, expose owners to liability, and put crew at risk.
With extensive experience across inspected vessels, charter operations, and marine management, Wendy explains why US Coast Guard compliance is black and white — and why misunderstanding that reality costs owners months of revenue and credibility.
This conversation goes beyond theory, covering real-world scenarios involving charter shutdowns, delivery risks, crew safety, environmental responsibility, and the human factor behind most onboard incidents.
This episode is essential listening for captains, owners, brokers, managers, and crew who understand that safety, compliance, and leadership are inseparable at sea.
What you’ll learn
* Why US Coast Guard compliance leaves zero room for interpretation
* The paperwork mistakes that can instantly stop charter operations
* How cutting corners on deliveries creates serious liability exposure
* Why safety culture must be built before inspections, not after
* The human factor behind most maritime incidents
* How compliance protects crew, owners, and the marine environment

Yacht crew contracts, flag state jurisdiction, and maritime law directly affect the safety, rights, and legal exposure of both seafarers and yacht owners.
In this episode of Maritime Legal, host Jessica Galea, Partner at Dingli & Dingli Law Firm, is joined by Dr. Lorna Mifsud Cachia, Managing Partner and Head of Litigation, and Dr. Marcus Degiorgio, Associate in the Litigation Department, to explain how employment contracts operate as binding legal instruments under maritime law and why mistakes at the signing stage often lead to serious disputes later.
The discussion focuses on one of the most common legal risks in yachting: unclear or multiple employment agreements. The speakers break down how dual contracts, unclear employer identity, and poor execution can expose both crew and yacht owners to civil disputes, regulatory breaches, and criminal liability.
This episode also explores how flag state jurisdiction applies when incidents occur onboard yachts, including in foreign territorial waters, and why registering under a reputable flag state such as Malta provides legal oversight, reporting mechanisms, and enforceable protections for all parties involved.
Topics covered include crew contract validity, flag state enforcement, harassment and misconduct onboard, criminal jurisdiction at sea, and the importance of transparency, good faith, and legal clarity in yacht operations.
This episode is essential listening for yacht crew, yacht owners, managers, captains, and maritime professionals seeking to understand their legal rights and obligations before signing an employment contract.

Self-care is not about motivation or aesthetics. It is about regulation, awareness, and rebuilding trust with the body after stress, trauma, and burnout.
In this episode of Self Care, host Geraldine Hardy is joined by Nenad Stanis, founder of Body Connection Movement, for a grounded conversation on embodied recovery, nervous system regulation, and why movement is inseparable from mental health.
Drawing on lived experience rather than theory, Nenad shares how trauma, displacement, chronic stress, and burnout shaped his approach to movement — and why most people struggle not because they lack discipline, but because they lack safe, adaptive frameworks that meet them where they are.
This episode explores:* Why movement is a nervous system tool, not just fitness * How trauma and chronic stress manifest physically * The role of breathwork in regulating overwhelm * Why short, consistent practices outperform intensity * The risks of copy-paste training models * What “awareness first” means in sustainable recovery
This is not a performance-driven conversation.
It is a practical discussion on rebuilding capacity, stability, and resilience over time.

What truly breaks families, businesses, and generational wealth isn’t market volatility or poor financial planning — it’s unaddressed family dynamics.
In this episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, Geraldine is joined by Dominik v. Eynern, co-founder of Family Hippocampus, for a grounded, peer-to-peer conversation about the behavioral and emotional forces that quietly undermine trust, communication, and long-term legacy.
Drawing on lived experience, systems theory, behavioral economics, and neuroscience, this discussion challenges traditional family governance models and exposes why silence, reactivity, and unresolved trauma create the highest risk inside family systems.
This is not theory. It’s insight from people who have lived it — and who now help families create psychological safety, resilience, and conscious leadership across generations.
In this episode, we explore:
Why up to 95% of generational wealth failures are driven by behavioral risk*
* How broken communication and reactivity erode trust inside families
* The difference between empathy and compassion with boundaries
* Why money amplifies unresolved issues instead of solving them
* The role of self-awareness and nervous system regulation in family leadership
* How women and generational transition are reshaping family systems

🚨 What really happens when superyacht crew report incidents, and how many lives has CHIRP already helped save?
In this episode of Sea Views, host Julia Gosling sits down with Paul Shepherd, Chair of the CHIRP Superyacht Board, to unpack how confidential incident reporting is reshaping safety culture across the superyacht industry. From near misses and falls from height to lithium battery fires, manning levels and harassment on board, this is a straight talking look at what is really happening at sea and what must change.
Paul explains how CHIRP’s Confidential Hazardous Incident Reporting Programme works in practice, why anonymity is non negotiable, and how reports are turned into practical safety lessons that captains, management companies and crew can use immediately. He also digs into the regulatory gap between private and commercial superyachts, and why minimum safe manning is no longer enough for today’s dual season, high intensity programs.
✅ In this episode you will learn:
- How CHIRP’s confidential superyacht reporting system actually works from first contact to published lesson
- Why near misses are "accidents that did not happen" and how they can prevent the next fatality
- The real risk behind work aloft on wet, sloping decks and why flags are now pushing back
- Emerging technical dangers, including engine start battery explosions and lithium ion battery fires
- How crew welfare, hours of rest, manning levels and cabin conditions link directly to safety on board
- Where harassment and abuse fit into the safety picture and how CHIRP and ISWAN work together
- Why the regulatory divide between private and commercial superyachts is no longer defensible
- What a "minimum operational safe manning" model could look like for busy charter and dual season yachts
- How captains, managers and owners can use honest reporting as a mark of professionalism, not weakness
- Paul’s direct appeal to yacht crew worldwide to share their own stories and help drive industry change

Filmed at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Yachting USA host Rick Thomas sits down with Captain Kerry Titheradge for one of the most transparent, unscripted and career-focused interviews since Bravocon.

No entitlement, no shortcuts — just structure, hustle and discipline.
He also shares how Below Deck has become an unexpected leadership mirror, revealing blind spots, reactions, and the difference between running a private yacht and operating under a six-week charter pressure cooker with cameras rolling.

Can a superyacht expedition through the Arctic really support science and reshape how we think about a rapidly warming planet? 🌊❄️
In this episode of Positive Waves, host Jana Thomas sits down with Captain Maiwenn Beadle – the first woman to captain a superyacht through the Northwest Passage – to unpack what it truly takes to lead safe, meaningful expeditions at the top of the world. From ice navigation and remote logistics to working with scientists on board, Maiwenn shares how explorer yachts can be powerful platforms for research, storytelling, and real impact.
Sailing through Greenland’s uncharted fjords and along the Northwest Passage, Maiwenn and her crew supported a scientific charter gathering data in places very few vessels can reach. Using an advanced Panoblue 360° imaging system taking a full-panorama photo every minute, her voyage created a time-stamped visual archive of glaciers, geology, and sea ice — a resource she hopes will support future climate and glaciation research.
From moments of pure magic — surreal light, otherworldly ice formations, wildlife, and remote communities — to the unforgiving realities of navigation and isolation, Maiwenn describes the Arctic in three words: savage, desolate, and fairy-like.
🔹 What you’ll learn
- How expedition yachts safely access and operate in remote Arctic regions
- Why meticulous preparation is the hardest part of a Northwest Passage transit
- What ice navigation really demands from a captain and crew
- How 360° imaging tools like Panoblue preserve every glacier and icefield in scientific detail
- The leadership qualities an expedition captain needs to maintain safety and inspire environmental respect
- Why exploration must serve a greater purpose than adventure
🔵 Episode Sponsor: Panoblu

In this high-impact episode of Yachting USA from Yachting International Radio (YIR), host Rick Thomas sits down with world-renowned maritime attorney Michael Moore, Founding Partner of Moore & Company, to dissect the real state of the U.S. and Canadian yachting industry — legally, historically, economically, and environmentally.

In this empowering episode of Self Care with Geraldine Hardy, Geraldine reflects on her recent return to Europe for Tai Chi teacher training—an experience that opened doors to deeper self-awareness and trust. She unpacks the origins of self-limiting beliefs, exploring how personal, cultural, and ancestral traumas shape our subconscious patterns and influence our relationship with wealth and abundance.
Through clinical hypnotherapy insights and personal reflection, Geraldine reveals how subconscious imprints from generations past can limit our success and happiness.

💡 That’s why today, we’re not just talking about it—we’re bringing in reinforcements! We’re joined by health coach Claudia Petrilli, who’s here to help us understand what’s really happening in our bodies and how we can manage perimenopause without losing our sanity (or our jobs!).

Life at sea isn’t always smooth sailing—especially for yacht crew navigating long hours, stagnant wages, and the ever-present risk of exploitation. But what if there was a lifeline? Today, we’re spotlighting a crucial aspect of seafaring: maritime unions. These organizations play a vital role in protecting the rights and well-being of those who work on the water.
Joining us is Laura Molineux, Strategic Organiser at the Nautilus International Union. Laura is here to unpack why union representation isn’t just important—it’s essential for the yacht crew of today and tomorrow.
We’ve got a lot to uncover, from how maritime unions function, to how they handle abuse, mental health, and industry-wide stagnation. We’ll also discuss how unions are pushing for diversity, inclusion, and better labor practices in yachting.
Nautilus is the only maritime union supporting the yacht crew. You can access their 24/7 helpline, legal advise, and more as a member. Don't wait until something happens to become a member because they can only help you with issues after joining.
After you sign up, email yachts@nautilusint.org and/or Membership@nautilusint.org to let them know that you have joined following the Yachts Mermaids referral so that they can apply the following discount to your first year of membership.

In our fourteenth episode of Pearls' Tales from the Superyacht Laundry, we sit down for a chat with Georgie Lindsay, cruise ship turned superyacht captain.
Rewind to a family cruise in the Caribbean, where, due to the rainy weather, she got to take a peek around the whole ship, and got her first taste of what life at sea would be like. In her teen years, she knew she didn't want to be stuck in an office, so after a stint living in Madrid, Georgie secured her place on a UK cadetship with the cruise company Carnival.
On a three-year course for her tickets, where of the 60 people, only three females successfully finished, Georgie chats about what it's like to be a female on the bridge and how she has always been lucky enough to have a supportive (mainly male) crew around her.
The episode covers the transitions and opportunities from commercial to the superyacht world and vice versa. After years on a cruise ship bridge, she turned her hand in 2016 to superyachts. Way over qualified as a Deckhand, she enjoyed the hands-on approach and made her way back up the ranks to the helm.
Georgie talks about life as a female captain, the trials and tribulations of leading, and her proud moments - queue the St Martin bridge maneuver! She also discusses the differences between cruise and yachting, each with its challenges, including that all-important work-life balance.
While Georgie isn't yet ready to leave a life at sea, she has kept her eyes and mind open to future opportunities. Tune in to hear about Georgie's life on the bridge and how she aims to give back to the industry she loves…

Join us for a deeply impactful discussion as we hear Francis's courageous story, a survivor of a traumatic incident during a sailing training program in the early '90s. At just 17 years old, she faced a harrowing gang rape incident on board.
Francis shares her journey of disassociation as a survival mechanism and the challenges of recognizing trauma-induced behavior. Despite appearing fine on the surface, she coped by disconnecting from reality. Her powerful message underscores the critical importance of being trauma-informed.
This conversation sheds light on the urgent need to shift safety responsibility from victims to organizations and authorities. Too often, survivors bear the burden of proof, and the focus should be on creating safer environments and enforcing conduct rules.
The normalization of such incidents in the maritime industry is deeply concerning. We discuss the imperative to hold perpetrators accountable and implement effective safety measures, including specialized training, rule enforcement, and surveillance in communal spaces.
Survivors are encouraged to speak up, and bystanders are urged to take action. This conversation emphasizes a collective effort to create a safer environment within the maritime community.
Don't miss this important dialogue that's sparking change and fostering a culture of safety and accountability in the industry. 🌟

As Kim's journey unfolds, she finds herself on a cable project in Denmark, stepping aboard a ship plagued by neglect and poor maintenance. The conditions are far from ideal, with dirty cabins and safety hazards lurking at every turn. She discovers poorly spliced cables, corroded wires, and outdated equipment that pose significant challenges to the job at hand.
Despite Kim's efforts to voice her concerns, both the crew and management appear dismissive, leading to frustrating delays and compromising safety. An inadequate emergency drill only exacerbates the mounting issues. It becomes painfully clear that this vessel lacks a safety culture, evidenced by deserted bridges during transit and an overall disregard for the well-being of those on board.
The story reaches its climax as Kim and her fellow crew members find themselves celebrating the company's bankruptcy. It marks not only the end of a turbulent chapter but also the demise of an unsafe operator in the maritime market. Kim's personal journey through these challenges underscores the importance of prioritizing safety and maintenance in the offshore industry.

The last guiding principle within the philosophy of yoga is Ishvara Pranidhana which speaks of surrendering and trusting the process or a higher being. We have learned that when we show for oneself on a daily basis while reflecting upon and observing oneself to give our best… we the let go and trust the process. Spirituality is one tool part of our multi dimensional being and allows us to believe in something greater than oneself, i.e. universe, spirit, source or god. It’s upon oneself to choose to do so. When we have this trust in our journey, process and life we are our experiences merely as lessons turning into blessings.

he first layer of self study is being able to observe our body, breath and the sensation around us. Then we go into the more subtler parts encompassing our thoughts and emotions which helps us to discover more about ourselves, traumas and why we sometimes react the way we do. Self study as well self discipline work hand in hand together.

In the imagined scenario of the year 2050, where the world has impressively reduced personal vehicle usage by 75% to meet the mandates of the Paris Agreement, as currently proposed by the WEF, it is highly unlikely that a vast majority of the global population would be enthusiastic about witnessing an ever-expanding SuperYacht Fleet dominating the open seas. With over 2 BILLION people having lost their ability to own personal vehicles, the concept of a legal SuperYacht Fleet might appear not only impractical but also unjust.
While yachting may seem to exist in a league of its own, it becomes increasingly apparent that this perception is primarily fueled by those within the industry who profit from its growth. The disparity between a reduced vehicle ownership and an expanding luxury yacht fleet highlights the potential inequities and reinforces the notion that the industry primarily serves the interests of a select few rather than the greater good.
Join Captain Nigel Marrison and YIR in this discussion about perception, reality, and how there is a certain arrogance within the industry that might lead to the downfall if not curbed in. There is still time, but that time is growing short!

Tom has spent many years at sea in a variety of warships. He commanded four, including the UK’s Ice Patrol Vessel, for which he was appointed OBE for saving her during a flood. His frigate command saw him act as anti-submarine commander for two US carrier battle groups in the Persian Gulf and, closer to home, protection of the UK’s nuclear deterrent. In this short live, Tom will dive into the guts of toxic leadership.
In this interview, examine the issue of power abuse within the Royal Navy due to hierarchical structures and toxic leadership. We discuss how to respond to and mitigate such behaviour, as well as methods of preventing and protecting team members.
In this interview, we covered:
What does toxic leadership looks like
How does it impact individuals and teams
How to deal with a toxic leader
When is it time to resign or make a report
Tom will be featured as a Guest Expert in The Crew Coach membership (TCC Tribe) later this year, focusing on professional and personal development. Head to wwww.thecrewcoach.com to learn more.

One of our interviewees from YIR, unfortunately, passed away last week. This is an interview that was done a few years back. I met Les in prison while I was working there. He had the biggest heart and just wanted to help the inmates work through their batter of addiction.
In this interview, Les shares his battle with addiction with a particular focus on drugs like ice and methadone. We also discuss the lack of adequate support for incarcerated individuals. A fascinating life story that not the everyday person could even comprehend.

The Changemakers Project with Jasmine Spavieri, Changemakers Project & Expeditions Coordinator.
Join the fight against plastic pollution and become a Changemaker!
We invite students from the Balearic Islands to form teams and develop ideas that can help reduce the use of plastic. By implementing their projects students will help ignite a wave of change in their communities and may get a chance to join Save The Med onboard a research vessel to participate in the study of whales, dolphins, turtles, and plastics in the marine environment together with an experienced research team.
The Changemakers Project has three main parts to it:
We invite students from the Balearic Islands to form teams and develop ideas that can help reduce plastic consumption. By implementing their projects students will help ignite a wave of change in their communities, and in April they will submit their projects to Save the Med Foundation.
Students aged 15 - 18 join the standard Changemakers At Sea project, while younger students 8-14 are welcome to participate in the Changemaker Junior Project. While these two separate versions differ in terms of criteria for participation, evaluation, and rewards they are based on the same values and contribute to the common goal of reducing plastic pollution in the Balearics!
Scroll down to find out more about the type of project we're looking for and download the informational leaflet corresponding to your age group to learn more and participate.
An event where all teams can come together! Students from all over the islands will get together to present their projects to the public and discuss solutions to plastic pollution. Students will have a chance to view each other's projects, network, learn from each other, inspire, and be inspired. Our team will view the projects and make a final decision before announcing the teams which will receive special rewards! (In 2021-2022, due to the pandemic, the event will be adapted to current safety restrictions)
Changemakers At Sea (Students aged 15-18)
All participants will receive a Changemakers At Sea diploma. The five teams with the most impactful projects, evaluated by a panel of scientists and educators, will be announced during the Changemakers Exhibit. The teams behind the top two projects will be invited to join us for an unforgettable expedition experience each during the summer. For one week, students will help our scientists study marine life and human activities at sea, all the while gaining knowledge and skills to become true Ocean Ambassadors when they return. The remaining three teams will be invited for a one-day expedition at sea. In addition, the classes of the five teams will be able to use an endowment of 500 euros from the Foundation to invest in an environmental activity, excursion, or project.

Incidents of criminal behavior, safety issues, and hidden misconduct have raised serious alarms. In light of these concerns, a petition has been introduced by Jesse Frost, the director of Crew Folio, advocating for the implementation of legislation to mandate criminal background checks in the industry. This interview delves into the necessity of such checks and highlights the urgency to address the prevailing issues.

Fang, the founder of Yachting Singapore, joined Yachting International Radio to chat about his career and the yachting industry in Singapore.
Fang served in the Singapore Navy for 15 years before starting his yacht agency in 1997, which began as a rib-building business. He eventually began servicing super yachts and attending boat shows.
The yachting industry has grown in Singapore since then, with new marinas being developed to accommodate more yachts, both local and visiting. This growth has also attracted big brokerage houses to establish shops in Singapore and the region. The demand for marina development is still largely local and regional, but Fang believes international investment will increase as the industry grows.

One of the simplest practices to raise our vibration is grounding in nature. Observing and becoming aware of everything around us.
We can also raise our vibration through #movement such as #yoga, breathing in a #pranayama practice and #meditation.

Billy's passing was a shock to the yachting community and his family. Billy was a kind, passionate, professional person and a proud Cornishman. His family have since found out that despite spending time with him, he was dealing with mental health challenges and had begun to feel increasingly isolated.
This highlights the need for people to be open about their struggles and ask for help rather than trying to manage them alone.
His family reported having received minimal assistance from the industry overall. This has led them to call on the industry for more support.
The key takeaways are that people should reach out for help when struggling with mental health issues, bullying and toxic leadership must not be accepted, and more protection should be put in place for crews. Mental health should be prioritised, and talking about it openly is imperative.

The video covers a range of topics, from the industry's outdated culture and poor work-life balance to the impact of long hitches at sea and inadequate family planning benefits.
We also discuss the issue of gender discrimination, with a focus on how this has contributed to the industry's difficulty in attracting and retaining young and diverse talent.
Additionally, we explore how the cost of becoming a mariner has surged, creating inequalities and barriers for individuals from underrepresented communities who aspire to work in the industry.
This informative discussion provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the maritime industry and its efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.

The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 was introduced a decade ago and ratified by many yachting Flag States and sets out the employment standard for seafarers. MLC 2006 covers repatriation, living conditions, hours of rest, social security and recruitment and placement of crew.
MLC 2006 applies to commercial vessels and reputable owners with the crew interest at heart will comply voluntarily. Professional employers will comply with MLC 2006 standards.
The market demand for seafarers is likely to see an improvement in yachting conditions of employment.

Truthfulness means for everyone something differently. Being able to communicate it with a loving and kind intention is of the essence when setting boundaries. The Noble Eightfold path in Buddhism speaks about this and knowing when to say something and not. Action speak always louder than words and the intention behind every word and action is of the essence. These principles can be used in any situation, no matter in your professional or private life.

Are you in alignment with your Career Goals?
I want to do a short reflection exercise with you. I want you to grab a pen and paper and I want you to think about where are you now in your career? Are youfulfilledl. Do you know what your strengths are and are you utilizing your strengths in the workplace? And lastly, do you feel that you are making a positive impact?
I know that's a lot to process and digest, so I'm going to repeat it again. I want you to think about where you are in your career today. I want you to think about what does fulfillment mean to you in your career? How would I know that you are unfulfilled? What would you be doing? What would you be thinking, and what would you be feeling when you wake up in the morning?
Do you feel joy about going to work? Because work shouldn't be just a job where you earn an income. It should be a lot more than that.

On the face of it, most Broker Associations are talked about in hushed and reverent tones. However, there are many not so reverent stories and opinions that are whispered and shared out of earshot of a handful of names that use their position as a weapon of power and control. Often, those stories are shared by current and past members, alike. The oldest of these associations tend to have one thing in common, a certain color, gender, and the ability to influence the flow of green to those that they favor.
The year is 2023, the crew entering the industry have been born after the year 2000, and the UHNWI are no longer simply British Royalty, Russian Oligarchs, Mafia, Oil Barrons, and Tech entrepreneurs. They are a generation that values the human experience, cares about the environment, and most importantly, speaks every language, is of every age, and comes in every color, ethnicity, religion, gender, shape, and size.
Marc von Eiberg, Founder of Bluebnc, joins us to discuss his experiences as a Charter Broker. How navigating his way thru a system that was created at least a decade before he was born and was not intended for someone of his ethnicity, has proven difficult, and why things need to change, not only for him but for his many clients from around the world.
There may well be a place for these Associations, however, the look, the feel, the purpose, and the transparency in business, need to align themselves with the world of today.

Know thyself to know what you want in life! I remember my teacher saying this to me and it’s true. If you do not know yourself how do you know what you want. During the course of our life we come across various lessons that helps us to uncover the set of traumas and allow us to heal them if we show up for ourselves. This process requires to become aware and conscious of these lessons and step away from self victimization and take responsibility for all our thoughts and actions. Self study with the tools of meditation and mindfulness practices are key for this self development, transformation and to invoke change in our life to create abundance which our heart desires and we deserve.

Kenya’s Ambassador and Special Envoy for Shipping and Blue Economy, and Candidate for the post of Secretary General for the United Nations’ International Maritime Organization (IMO)
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a UN specialized agency that works to ensure the safety, security, and environmental impact of shipping related issues. With the rise of the importance of mental health for seafarers, the IMO and its member states have taken up their responsibilities to protect the psychological safety of seafarers in various ways, such as supporting the flag state, port state and IFT.
If elected, Nancy Karigithu would be the first female, African candidate to be elected for the secretary General role for the IMO.
In the second half of the interview we spoke candidly about crew welfare, a recent suicide and how we can make a change.

A very honest discussion with The Sunday London Times and the Yacht Purser Sandra Kim regarding sexual harassment and assault within our industry.
The reason why I have brought on Megan the editor at the Sunday London Times Magazine to join us in the discussion was largely due to the response she received to an article she published, where a shore-based company responded saying her article was sensationalism.
I contacted a few people, some of whom are clients of mine, to determine whether their stories had been distorted in any way by the publication. The answer was NO.
Tune in to find out what the editor's experience was when interviewing Crew and the dysfunctions when it comes to safeguarding Crew and how we can solve them.
I would love to hear your insights on this, I believe that collectively we can work on and implement change.

This interview discusses the importance of understanding different ethnic backgrounds in order toto create a safe, positive working environment. It suggests that micro-aggressions and the exclusion of ethnic people can lead to feelings of isolation and inadequacy. Offering support and being an ally to those who experience oppression, actively listening, and avoiding words that can cause offense are key takeaways in promoting inclusivity. With effort and study, one can form relationships with those of different backgrounds, allowing for greater understanding and respect. Taking time and effort to build knowledge in this area is essential for creating a successful and respectful environment for all.

Regardless of where you are in the world right now it’s hard to avoid the relentless invoking of ‘wokeness’ in the news. It’s at the heart of some of the biggest recent movements and controversies; a compliment to some, an insult to others.
‘Woke’ was officially added into the dictionary in 2017 as “a perceived awareness of issues that concern social justice and especially racial justice.” Hot buttons have also included: sexism, homophobia, transphobia, climate change, politics, class privilege, gender and identity politics.
Yachting has always been a bit awkward when it comes to any of these topics; crew from all over the world, from different generations and cultures work in such close quarters, and we often come from VERY different value systems. Some conflict has always been inevitable, but keeping the peace seems to be getting harder. Why is it now trickier than ever to get through a working day without hearing someone’s views on one contentious issue or another? And how do we work with one another when our places on the ‘wokeness’ scale can vary radically?
The world in general is struggling with civilised disagreement. Netflix’s ‘The Social Dilemma’ neatly summarised how social media’s algorithms are provoking and polarising views more than ever before. “Where will it all end?” one contributor was asked. “Civil war,” he answered simply. BLM, Trump, Brexit and Covid have provoked strong online and offline reactions…a debate is now a toxic and dangerous thing. Online discussions lack nuance, stances are hysterical and oppositional. You can be branded as for or against an entire community based on your view on one topic, while 'cancel culture' erases the careers of public figures if they express one unpopular opinion.
Even families are struggling to tolerate each other’s viewpoints. We had to ban Brexit from the dinner table in mine. People within their social media bubbles are becoming angrier and more aggressive to the ‘other side’ – insults are flying between ‘snowflakes’, ‘covidiots’, ‘TERFs’ and ‘gammons’. A typical yacht crew though can be made up of all these groups and we don’t get to retreat into our bubbles because we are all together, all the time - in the bubble of the yacht.

Overnight, a bit of a controversy arose on Social Media. (Yachties Name, Shame and Fame) A Captain requested a Criminal Record Check thru CrewPass, and told the crew member that they would be reimbursed. Sign up done, request for reimbursement, Captain no longer employed and the crew member left holding the bill.
YIR and Conrad address the situation, provide some answers, and as most of you know, Rhea tends to call a spade a spade, and many times, much to the detriment of YIR, will tell it like it is!

Are you a saver or a spender? Are you being more careful with your wages now that there’s a global cost of living crisis? Or do you feel nicely insulated from it on Planet Yacht? In so many countries bills, fuel and groceries are all shooting up in cost, inflation is going up – it’s all feeling a bit apocalyptic. The war in the Ukraine is affecting the cost of so many things, it’s been a bit of a crash course in just how dependent our countries were on resources, fuel and crops from that region. It’s also been a lesson in how unpredictable the modern world is.
Should we be more careful? Or go all-out to enjoy life for the moment? As crew it’s easy to feel a bit detached from it all, isn’t it? Living on board with bills and food covered, minimally or untaxed earnings…for many yachties life hasn’t changed that much. Does the news cycle rolling on the crew mess TV freak you out and make you want to save your money for the future? Or does it make you want to dash out and run up a massive bar bill?
I wish I’d saved my yachting money. I mean, I do have a great selection of sunglasses and some amazing photos – but I should have a lot more than that to show for all my graft. I wish I invested in property ten years ago like my cleverer friends, but I never got around to it. I try not to give myself too hard a time over it - I did pay off student loans, have supported myself and all my endeavours for a good few years and built up a decent wedge of savings. But if anyone says the P words around me I get pretty frazzled. I have no property and no pension coming my way at all, and that makes me feel a bit queasy.
All this talk about unpredictable futures has been the thing that has finally focused my mind on the dull world of financial security. But it’s a bit late for that now, most of my money has gone. I know many crew have been far better than me with their money, but to be fair some have been far, far worse.
It is easy to lose the plot financially in yacht world. There is a double assault on our sense of reality – being surrounded by yacht-owner levels of wealth can start to seriously distort our idea of ‘normal’ and then the large amount of disposable income can start to make big self-indulgent purchases into a regular occurrence. Even just spending a few weeks in Monaco can start to make bumper to bumper Bentleys seem normal.

Creating moderation and balance in life is key to creating homeostasis in our nervous system and dealing with obstacles in life that we cannot avoid.
Like truthfulness, Brahmacharya is another “go all the way” yama. In other words, restrain from settling for anything less than wonder, awe, and the sacred. And restrain from anything that keeps you from this place. It is easy to grab our work, sweets, a good movie or romance novel, or get lost on the web. Not that there is anything wrong with these things. In fact, from a place of the sacred, not much fails to be sacred. The mystics know this well. It is only when we substitute anything for wonder that we find ourselves held in dullness and primed for excess.’
Walking with the eyes of wonder, hand in hand with the sacred, and listening to the voice of the divine, evokes passion and vitality. Why settle for less?

Are you being honest with yourself? ‘Living the life that cries to be lived from the depth of our being frees up our energy and vitality.

“When yachts put it into perspective, background-checking staff is an excellent way of protecting vulnerable groups onboard with whom crew interact on a one-to-one basis, such as High Net Worth individuals and children. Simple reference checks are not sufficient to fully comprehend a candidate’s suitability or history.Even on land, employers should feel confident that they are doing everything to ensure the safety of their business, existing employees and clients/customers.”

Why Isn't It Industry Standard?
Conrad Empson, Managing Director at CrewPass, joins YIR.
Every form of travel today, especially when crossing borders, the checks, scrutiny, questions and in some countries, bio scans are unlimitless. So why, in yachting, are crew being hired onto multi millionaire dollar yachts, interacting with UHNWI's families, children, and confined to small spaces with numerous other crew, is no Criminal Record Check mandatory? Is it oversight or is the safety onboard too costly for crew recruitment companies and yacht management companies to pay attention?

There is something seriously wrong when an Industry is placing profit above the very fabric that creates it. Join Karine and Rhea as they discuss the virtue signalling within the industry, the blatant profiteering when tragedy comes to light, and the lack of communication that has been created between the only two levels in the industry that TRULY depend on one another; Owners and Crew. It is time to build a bridge over the very deep waters that are creating that disconnect.

Focus on detaching from the narcissist rather than trying to “defeat” them.
When dealing with a narcissist, it is essential to focus on removing oneself from the situation, recognizing potential signs such as arrogance, need for control, and lack of empathy, and to cultivate a supportive environment to aid in one's recovery. To protect oneself, one should avoid confrontation, document conversations, and maintain a professional relationship with the narcissist. Practicing detachment, composure, and self-care are keys to navigating relationships with a narcissist. With support and understanding, it is possible to regain one's power and gradually heal

Self Care when you feel displaced and are not at home.
Especially when we travel for work and need to be social as well as productive we have the tendency to forget our self care practice and disburse energy left right and centre. Then it’s is of utmost importance to camp our self care practice and not enter sacrificing our energy for others and external circumstances. Manage your energy well! If you don’t do it who will?

Gary Napier speaks with Captain Matt Allen on BroTalk, discussing the highs and lows of the Yachting industry. Whilst the glamour, excitement and financial rewards, draw many people in, it can mask the other side of 18-hour days and long periods of time away from family and friends. Matt has worked in the industry for over 17 years and explains the rules - there are no rules!. Some people have suffered from mental health issues and from having to keep up the bravado which has masked problems underneath. Drink and drugs can sometimes be the only way people feel they can escape. Matt shares his wisdom on how he has coped in such a lustrous yet unpredictable industry.

"I never thought I would witness, hear & experience the sheer amount of abuse happening in our industry in such a short amount of time. My only hope is that I can positively impact others, by sharing my story and pushing for more support on all vessels whilst including mental health training for all staff. I believe this training as well as therapy, has been undoubtedly valuable to me as a crew member. I hope any crew member who is suffering in any way finds the strength to reach out for help. It took me a long time but it was the best thing I could do for myself."

This guest prefers to remain anonymous, so we have removed the Video Footage.
Recently in Palma de Mallorca, a young woman in yachting came forward identifying a Captain as her abuser and pressing charges. As a result, four other women from around the world have also shared their stories in regards to the very same individual.
Since being charged AND convicted in 2018, this man has managed to work his way around many countries, leaving a trail of terrorized women in his wake. When charges are filed, he flees that country, and finds work onboard another vessel, followed by, another victim.
A Serial offender has hunting patterns, which over time, escalate. The first woman that pressed charges, the pattern was drawn out, and the truth of the monster that lay beneath, stayed hidden for a considerable amount of time, until it wasn't. More recently, the grooming and isolation of his chosen victim, has intensified, creating a time line between the initial love bombing, to physical abuse, a matter of months rather than years.
We all need to do better.
Meet this courageous woman and hear her story.

Erica has dropped another controversial article, this time we are discussing the amount of crew flocking to sites such as Yachties: Name, Shame and Fame, willing to bare it all, uncensored and sometimes, anonymously.
We talk about the reason that crew feel it has become necessary, with horror stories and hero stories alike. One thing is clear, agree with airing your grievances on a social media platform or not, the ONLY way that crew feel protected, is by protecting each other!

We sat down with Erica to discuss the very real issue with Crew Shortage. Why is the industry not only NOT retaining it's current crew, and why are we not seeing the hundreds of industry newbies that we have seen in the past. Erica wrote an article on this very subject, after having posed the issue to many crew that are currently in the industry, or have left. What she found is alarming and the industry needs to address it, or an owners 1st yacht may be without adequate crew, never mind their number 2 or 3 yacht.
In the interview, Rhea states that you can work at McDonalds, 40 hours a week, for more money, with no investment required. We have to state, it is only in certain parts of the world where minimum wage reflects cost of living.

"An ex-yacht chef uncovers the
Melanie White - Author, Behind Ocean Lines
"An ex-yacht chef uncovers the dark reality of life at sea.
By the age of twenty-two, Melanie is ticking life's boxes as if filling in a routine survey. Good grades at school? Check. Reliable university degree? Check. Steady graduate job? Check. Her two feet are planted firmly on solid ground; her life to date perfectly mirrors society's expectations. That is until she finds herself plunged into the superyacht industry, like an ice cube thrown into a cut crystal glass of the finest whisky, having stepped foot on a boat just three times before.
Not only is she required to learn how to run, sail, and race a multi-million-pound yacht on the job, she is forced to adapt to a wholly unnatural life afloat, largely confined to a bunk bed, crammed galley, and live-in colleagues. Oh, and to devise, develop, and deliver fine dining menus for some of the wealthiest people on the planet. No biggie.
From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean to the Arctic she cruises, visiting places many can only dream of, orienting herself in an environment few have the opportunity to observe. But while her culinary knowledge evolves and her on-board responsibilities grow, the world as she knows it begins to close in. The depth of the ocean no longer phases her; it's the darkness inside which she fears.
Behind Ocean Lines is a deeply personal account of a deterioration in mental health against a backdrop of opulence. It is, shockingly, not an anomaly in the industry. It is about time the public is told."
Yachting is facing a serious crew shortage, not only with crew retention, but with attracting new crew to the industry. In typical fashion, there is conference after conference, discussing the why's and how to fix it, while ignoring the reality as it doesn't suit the required narrative.
Melanie has gone on to start a company that focuses on Mental Health for Seafarers. @seasthemind

We can’t ignore that men tend to be more reluctant to seek help or treatment for their mental health struggles...
Brad shares with us the importance of opening up about mental health issues and creating a culture where it is ok to express how you feel.
Sadly, this was not the norm for him growing up in a small town in South Africa. Seeking help often means having to rely on others, admit there is a problem, and express emotions, but these behaviors can conflict with societal messages about masculinity, such as “men are self-reliant and tough” and “men don’t express emotions”
Brad and I talk through the importance of having a secure and trusted support network in place and how to overcome the fear of asking for help from the people who care about you!

This weekend, The Gap Counselling is hosting its second charity football match on Saturday 5th November 2022. The purpose of the event is to promote men's well-being in Mallorca. The overriding vision is to create a ‘Street Angel’s Safe Space 4 Men’, whereby men are free to share and openly discuss real-life issues, and receive professional counselling if necessary, without feeling judged or criticised.
The match has been purposely arranged in November, to support the global ‘Movember’ campaign, where men grow moustaches throughout the month to show their commitment to men's health. The Movember charity raises awareness of health issues that men may be battling with, in particular prostate cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
The event is free to attend and will be taking place at 2 pm at the Camp de Futbol Son Ferrer (Carrer Tudó, 1, 07181 Son Ferrer, Illes Balears). All are welcome
@ibexinsurance is sponsoring the event by providing the kits for the Street Angels team and supplying water and oranges during halftime. @theanchorbarpalma in Cala Major will be offering food and a cana, at their premises after the game. There will also be a prize raffle draw afterwards
If you would like to donate online, please use the link below:
https://movember.com/t/street-angels-vs-yachties?mc=1
Any donations on the day will be put towards local charities Street Angels and @yachtinggivesback . To find out more about the charities involved, please go to their websites:

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Recently in Palma de Mallorca, a young woman in yachting came forward identifying a Captain as her abuser and pressing charges. As a result, four other women from around the world have also shared their stories in regards to the very same individual.
Since being charged AND convicted in 2018, this man has managed to work his way around many countries, leaving a trail of terrorized women in his wake. When charges are filed, he flees that country, and finds work onboard another vessel, followed by, another victim.
A Serial offender has hunting patterns, which over time, escalate. The first woman that pressed charges, the pattern was drawn out, and the truth of the monster that lay beneath, stayed hidden for a considerable amount of time, until it wasn't. More recently, the grooming and isolation of his chosen victim, has intensified, creating a time line between the initial love bombing, to physical abuse, a matter of months rather than years.
Yachting, by it's very nature, is the perfect hiding spot for a man such as this. Where image and reputation is carefully guarded, unequal power relations between women and men, rigid gender roles, norms and hierarchies, and ascribing women lower status thru their sexualization from yacht shows to marketing.
Compounding that, history has shown, if you are a woman accusing a man of higher rank onboard of a crime, you will soon find yourself jobless, and possibly looking for a new career entirely.The accused continues to climb even further up the ranks, and once those waters are tested, his crime having been ignored, feels secure and within his rights to continue his pattern of behaviour.
We all need to do better.
Meet this courageous woman and hear her story.

“I want to be a captain, and be a leader and leave a good impression on them and a positive impact on their lives.
I want to inspire people to be better and help them grow into future leaders. I want to be someone that people can respect and look up to. But I want my actions to reflect it and not just the fact that I have achieved the position. I want people to want to work with me as a captain”

If you are the victim of an intimate partner crime, there are people that WILL believe you, WILL fight for you and WILL support you. One of these is Marien at yachtsmermaids.com who has spent a lot of time doing research and compiling a very complex directory for those that need help.
I used a lot of the movements for the recovery of my spine injuries. NOTE: If you have pain or injuries, seek advice from a medical practitioner.
Example for a Self care routine:
4.30 Wake up morning meditation (check out @drjoedispenza pineal gland meditation on YouTube)
5.15 Yoga (seven movements of the spine to open fascia)
5.45 Walk the dog for some cuteness 🥰times
6.30 CrossFit to break the sweat and work your cardio. To deal with muscle pain eat apple, kiwi or pineapple after workout to avoid accumulation of lactic acid in your muscles. Recommend to use #deepbluedoterra rub for muscles after hot shower. Drink lots of water and eat proteins.
9.00 Start work to stay focused, aware and energized throughout the rest of the day.

Now you may be wondering what Marshmallows have to do with taxes, well, last month a UK court determined in a 9 page ruling, that all Marshmallows are not the same, and thus subject to different VAT.
If you are one content to do your own taxes, small business, or a charter yacht, this is a valuable lesson! Not all is always as it seems when it comes to government and taxes.

Samantha wanted more balance …
Have you ever felt directionless, like there was something more, or perhaps wondered what a fulfilling career would look like?
Samantha decided to reinvest in herself with the TCC course, Discover your Career Potential. The course encouraged her to leave her job and truly define what is that she really wanted from her career. In this interview, Samantha speaks about her transformations. Rather than just being the interviewee but also the interviewer. She also shares with you an exercise from the course that helped her gain clarity on very specific aspects of her career. If you are looking for a sense of confidence in who you are and what you want you will need clarity as clarity will give you the action plan that will propel you forward.

Hailing from Austria, Philipp has been involved in the aviation industry from a young age. Always fascinated by aircraft, some of his earliest memories are on the tarmac at Innsbruck Airport, which paved the way for his subsequent career. Following completion of his American Commercial Pilot's Licence on multi-engine aircraft, (transferred to meet European standards), he obtained his Airline Transport Pilot's Licence and type rating for private jets on a Cessna Citation. Working extensively with a number of top-level aircraft and jet providers Philipp's experience grew and he has amassed a vast amount of knowledge and expertise within the industry.
As Head of Aviation, well-versed with the alignment of private jets and superyacht clients, Philipp is well placed to bring his unique understanding of the luxury travel landscape and to manage expectations. His primary focus at Ocean Independence will be organising aircraft charter, aircraft acquisition and sales, plus consultancy for aircraft and airports.

Clanjo completely lights up as she speaks about how the DCP coaching week changed her perspective on her future. She always thought it was too late to pursue her dreams as a Facial Specialist, but after participating in the coaching week last year, she made the connection. Clanjo connected her values with her passion and she is now on her way to build the career of her dreams! She was nervous about being judged, but seeing how many others are feeling exactly the same, gave her the confidence to go ahead and follow her dream.
Clanjo’s message to anyone currently in yachting : “ For people being in yachting now, they sometimes think, oh, I'm not going to take this course because I'm not leaving yet, but I honestly would recommend it even if you are not thinking of leaving just yet. It's just so good to be prepared when you do want to leave one day! you just know what you want to do. That was the really hardest part for me is leaving without any clue where, or what I want to do afterwards.”

“Decode your posture & reset your nervous system.”
“Treating the whole person”
Heidi Hadley originally trained in mainstream medicine as a Medical Technical Officer in Neurophysiology. Whilst working at the University Hospital (formerly The Queen Elizabeth) Birmingham, UK, her patients informed her of natural therapy treatments given to alleviate the side effects of their anti-epileptic pharmaceutical drugs. She then decided to study Natural Therapies and since then also completed a Phytotherapy course, studying the use of herbs with health.
Treating the whole person is Heidi’s objective. Rather than dealing with the symptoms of a problem, she aims to deal with the root cause through her holistic approach and different techniques.
Heidi’s Achievements

Why is keeping our spine moving so important for our longevity, emotional and mental health?
Our spinal cord protects our nervous system and acts as an informations transmitter system that allows us to support our bodily functions, regulate our nervous system, support our immune system besides it’s structural function of our body. When we speak of self care, we introduce practitioners to the first layer which is the physical one and reconnect them with their breath and sensations in their body to then go into the subtler realms of our self care practice that directly deals with the mental and emotional layers. However, all these layers are intertwined and the movement of the spine in a daily routine is the first step towards wellbeing.

This is the first time ever Crews are speaking up about the effectiveness of the chain of command when needing support. In this interview, Anya courageously shares her experience with bullying on board and how she was let down by the chain of command. Thank you, firstly, Anya, for being a voice to so many. My intention is to not only support crew but, to come up with effective solutions so that we don't see a repetition of these behaviours.

Recycle, Sustainability, Resource-efficient, Circular Economy, Sustainable Growth, Low-Carbon, Green........................yes, these words that are used so often in the world today, but more of a marketing campaign and a hashtag, rather than real change being made.

We should never think we have to sacrifice our life for someone else. God, spirits, divine or source whatever you want to call it has not created us with an intention for us to throw our lives away. But to live it with love, purpose, meaning and being ourselves to uplift, inspire and share our light.
We come to the World pure and remember who we truly are until we unremember everything and get so conditioned and programmed to believe in the fears our trusted parents have infused us with. To believe their traumas and experiences to be ours. But they are not. They are theirs to be healed. Unfortunately, we took them already on board and we have to uncondition ourselves and try to be in this pure state again where we believe in abundance rather than scarcity… just because of the beliefs of our parents and most likely their parents etc. We can manifest what we want and don’t want. That’s how powerful our minds and hearts are. So we need to handle them with care. Self love ❤️
I believe very much in this love that makes you smile and laugh every day and just want to be in the presence of this person that just vibes on your level. The person you can be raw and vulnerable with. Someone you want to make love slowly to rather than have sex. Someone that loves you so much to let you go and keep your freedom to fulfill your dreams. That’s love ❤️

“Go out there and be amazing,” says Captain Dean Pilatti. In this interview we talk about how you can be an influential leader. Dean has won a number of Acrew awards and strives to be the best leader he can be but also recognises how much he still needs to learn as a leader. In addition, we cover bullying and assault and how you can best deal with it.

Grounding exercises as important tools for us to understand that it is our choice how we react to our outside circumstances. In moments where our energy gets depleted or we feel other peoples energy we sometimes cannot distinguish if it comes from us or outside. In these moments nature around us and our breath can help us to ground and bring the power back within to respond rather than react poorly.

It’s easy to think that all fish belong in the sea. But not all fish belong in all parts of the sea….
Threatening local ecosystems, disrupting and at times eradicating other species entirely and even disrupting economies, our boats, large and small, can transport different creatures around our waters, and at times, across whole oceans.
In this episode, we’ll be looking how species spread across our planet, just what this costs us and how the warming of our oceans is likely to make this even more pronounced.
Joining our host, Holly, is marine spatial ecologist and all-round conservation superstar, Dr Alexandra Davies. She is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alberta and a true expert on this very matter.

The yacht chef community grumbles whenever we hear about the Ships Cook Certification or SCC. Chefs that have been in the industry prior to it's implementation will grumble even more. It's a strange culinary test that many even take a prep course for, conveniently offered on the same premises. The course and the test cover some classic French and British recipes and techniques. Thats a strange coupling of cuisines for a very international industry but so be it. What's important to me is the fact this has been built into the MLC for the specific purpose of making sure that whoever is cooking for crew on commercial ships has the wherewith-all to provide healthy meals while keeping in mind religious sensitivities of, again, an international crew.
This is obviously very important criteria and I think the initial thought behind it was a brilliant and noble one. The part I have a problem with is the cowboy implementation of these criteria via the SCC and the blatant profiteering and misinformation surrounding it.
This is to the detriment of new crew to the industry straight out of restaurants trying to get into an industry that already has high entry fees (STCW) that unbeknown to them, they can easily get a certificate sent to them after they've provided their flag state with sufficient evidence of training and experience. Green chefs can't push back at all and assume that in order to get into a galley they need to be assessed. It's ironic that this doesn't happen in the restaurant industry on land, when you're hiring someone you're meant to know how to read a resume and chase down references.
Efrem and I try to clarify all of this information in one place so anyone can use it as a resource, chefs coming into the industry or chefs changing boats and flag states, to captains and management companies knowing exactly what is needed when hiring a chef.

Happy Solstice! Happy Int’l Day of Yoga!
In the past weeks we went through the guiding principles of the philosophy of yoga. Reason being is to understand that wisdom is only knowledge applied in life. And the way how we lead our lives govern the way how we lead teams and our professional space. Everything is intertwined and we all go through the same fears and traumas. But how can we change? By addressing all our multidimensional being whereas the guiding principles do.

Tapas is a very important guiding principles of the philosophy of yoga as it sets the foundation to our self care practice thus self love.
How we show up for oneself on a daily basis without judgement and expectations, just practice and eventually everything will feel natural, comfortable as part of our daily routine like brushing our teeth. Starting just with a few minutes of meditation in the morning and slowly step by step we can increase the duration, add some yoga movements and explore any other techniques that nurture our body, mind and soul. To be able to function and perform every day at work. How can you show up for yourself this week and make yourself a priority for a specific time ?

Introducing Superyacht Solaris
The 138.96m expedition yacht was built by Lloyd Werft in Germany at their Bremerhaven shipyard and was delivered to her owner, Roman Abramovich, in May 2021. This luxury vessel's exterior design is the work of Australian designer Marc Newson with the interior designer unknown.
Solaris has been designed to comfortably accommodate up to 36 guests and up to 60 crew in its 48 cabins to ensure a relaxed luxury yachting experience.
Her features include eight decks, a helipad, a beach club aft, a large swimming pool, sauna, beauty salon, gym, wellness center, jacuzzi, several lounge areas and to aid with the tenders on board, there is a crane. With 20 high speed jet skis, a helicopter, a sub and more.
Superyacht Solaris is also extremely security conscious with radar-controlled missile detection system, bulletproof windows and armored protection. Solaris also features an elaborate anti paparazzi system and uses lasers to detect digital cameras as well as disrupt the ability for the camera to take a photo.
Solaris is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks. She is powered by 6 MTU engines, comfortably cruising at 15 knots, reaching a maximum speed of 18 knots. An on-board stabilization system ensures comfort when underway.
Superyacht Solaris is owned by 55-year-old Roman Abramovich who is worth an estimated 13.3 billion US. The last sighting of Superyacht Solaris was just off the coast of Turkey at anchor. With sanctions becoming ever tighter, there aren’t many safe havens in which to hide a superyacht of this size, let alone the rumoured other two that Roman is reported to own. Superyacht Solaris is worth a rumoured $600 million US.

What is the difference between euphoric happiness and being content? Stay in balanced no matter what happens around us and accept the lessons we have to learn. The more we resist the harder and more painful it will get. This also means to cut your losses when we have to and walk out. Being content is a state of being in peace within and knowing also that at a certain stage we need to finish our cycles of lessons and finally get it!

Everything starts with a thought and turns into emotions and actions. The way we think of our World, ourselves and everything that goes on around ourselves sets the tone and intention of our unconscious actions. Becoming aware of each thought and being able to pivot them, to turn a pure thought with the best intention for oneself and others is the key to be aligned within ourselves and ‘walk the talk’. Pure thoughts, pure intentions lead to pure actions. We can either take responsibility or just victimize ourselves in staying stuck in negative beliefs and thought patterns. Just try for one week to pivot your thoughts and see in everything a lesson that can turn into a blessing. It is not easy and requires a lot of trust in the process and in life. Especially, when we loose loved ones and trying to accept.

Introducing Superyacht AMADEA
The 106.1m Amadea was built by Lurssen in Germany at their Rendsburg shipyard. Her interior is styled by French designer design house Zuretti and she was delivered to her owner in March 2017. This luxury vessel's exterior design is the work of Espen Oeino.
Amadea has been designed to comfortably accommodate up to 16 guests in 8 suites including one VIP cabin. The supremely spacious full beam master suite incorporates its own study and dressing room as well as a his and her bathroom. She is also capable of carrying up to 36 crew onboard.
Her features include separate crew passageway, beauty salon, movie theatre, underwater lights, gym, large swimming pool, and a foredeck helipad.
Amadea is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks. Powered by twin diesel MTU 5,766hp engines, she comfortably cruises at 13 knots, reaches a maximum speed of 20 knots with a range of up to 8,000 nautical miles from her 392,000 litre fuel tanks at 13 knots. Amadea features at-anchor stabilizers supplying exceptional comfort levels. Her water tanks store around 77,000 Litres of fresh water.
Superyacht Amadea has hit the headlines recently as it is currently in the centre of a legal battle between the US authorities and the Investment firm that claims to own it. Having arrived in Fiji on April 12th, the Superyacht has cost the Island Nation a total of $5 Million for its upkeep to date, roughly translating to 1% of the country's entire health budget.
The US claims that the yacht is owned by Suleiman Kerimov, one of the wealthiest billionaires in Russia, estimated to be worth $16 Billion US. As Kerimov is reported to have close ties with Putin, he is currently on the Sanction List.

Aparigraha- letting go… part of the philosophy of yoga. Also translated as non- grasping, non-greediness and non-attachment…. We all know how hard it is to let go of situations, jobs and relationships as we human beings love our comfort zone and circumstances that we know. Rather than getting out of the comfort zone and take a leap of faith to evolve and become the person we truly are. Sometimes we think it is easier to stay in the ‘rut’. But NO… eventually we will have a wake up call that shows us what is truly going on. Let go of what no longer serves you.

Kim sutton on productivity Do you struggle with saying NO?
Kim said YES to EVERYTHING, AND EVERYBODY.
If you asked Kim, can you get this to me tomorrow? She would say yes. There were so many nights that she would be stuck at her desk with her eyes crossing, having to redo things four or five times because she was just so tired.
Sounds familiar?!
Sleep deprivation is a common issue within our industry and sleep debt is a real thing.
Kim experienced sleep deprivation, anxiety and depression simultaneously for four years until she learnt to say no.
“I think I correlated saying no to burning bridges, when in fact, you can build stronger bridges by saying no, because when you say no to 90% of things, and you say yes, to only the 10% or less, that are actually are good for you, then you can use them so much better”

Introducing Superyacht Scherazade
The 140m motor yacht was built by Lurssen in Germany at their Vegesack shipyard and delivered to her owner in June 2020. This luxury vessel's exterior design is the work of Espen Oeino with the interior design by Zuertti Interior Design.
Scheherazade has been designed to comfortably accommodate up to 18 guests in 9 suites. She is also capable of carrying up to 40 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yachting experience.
Her features include a beauty salon, movie theatre, underwater lights, elevator, beach club, gym, 2 helicopter decks, a large pool, grand dining room, a spa which includes a Turkish bath a sauna, a cryotherapy chamber, and a hydro massage room. and on the tech side, she has a drone crashing system to make sure that even the space around the yacht is well protected from prying eyes.
Scheherazade is built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks. Powered by twin diesel MTU 20-cylinder 8,837hp engines running at 1280rpm, she comfortably cruises at 15 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 20 knots. Scheherazade features at-anchor stabilizers providing exceptional comfort levels.
Superyacht Scheherazade is thought to be owned by Vladimir Putin however the official statement by government officials is that “an investigation conducted by Italian financial police found that the ship’s beneficial owner had "significant economic and business ties" to high-ranking people in the Russian government and individuals sanctioned by the European Union.”
The vessel was in drydock in Italy for months and having left the drydock and re-entering the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea on Tuesday, it sparked fears that it may try to flee before the Italian investigation concluded. Valued at $510 million by yacht valuation experts, Scheherazade is registered in the Cayman Islands and owned by Bielor Asset Limited, a company in the Marshall Islands.
Like many of the Russian yachts, the layers of protection on the ultimate ownership requires many legal minds and many hours of investigation.
This vessel was seized on May 7 in Italy.

Should men invest in developing their Leadership skills?. The common question I hear in my course is more men should do this course. Today we are going to talk about men and leadership. Brad shared why he chose to do a leadership course and why the industry needs to invest in leadership. Brad said his leadership goals prior to doing the course were to become a better business leader and father.
“This is a course everyone should take, regardless of whether you're going to be in a leadership role. This course teaches you how to be an effective communicator, how to be empathetic, and in doing so, it teaches you how to be a better person as a whole.”

This requires a level of knowing oneself and being able to also stand up for oneself. Not easy process and we know who we are we know what we want. Being authentic and remembering who we truly are…

Every week YIR will introduce you to one Superyacht.
This week we introduce you to Superyacht Valerie. Find out all the details you need to know when it comes to this Yacht!
Spanish authorities seized the “Valerie” yacht reportedly linked to Russian oligarch and former KGB agent Sergei Chemezov in the port of Barcelona.
Chemezov is the chairman of the Rostec conglomerate and a member of the Supreme Council of ‘United Russia’, per EU sanctions. When the US sanctioned Chemezov in 2014 — as part of an effort targeting Putin’s inner circle — the government said he had known Putin since the 1980s and the two lived in the same apartment complex in East Germany. The yacht is worth approximately $100 million and will remain “provisionally immobilized” until authorities can determine its ownership. A spokesman for Chemezov denied that he is tied to the yacht.

Non- violence is an essential part of self care as it is the foundation to awaken self love within ourselves. Normally we connect non-violence with being kind and compassionate to other humans and animals. Not considering that kindness and compassion really starts with ourselves to be able act upon others. Non-violence, ahimsa is an integral part of the ethical guiding principles of the yogic philosophy and allows us to start our journey within to act in our external world from peace within.

Setting boundaries means to be able to say ‘no’ if our wellbeing is endangered. Especially, during the pandemic we have all experienced uncertainty and change. The only way we can cope with it is to be able to take care of ourselves to not get overwhelmed with external circumstances changing. This also means when we have Covid to rest and allow ourselves the time to recover in order to prevent to have any repercussions from this disease. Also, setting our boundaries kindly with people that could push us to work or to perform while recovering from Covid. This is a ‘no’ go and endangers our health and wellbeing on all layers: physical, emotional, mental and energetic. The work hard play hard attitude does not work here and just means that people still haven’t understood the seriousness of this disease.

Capital C’s vision, goal and determination is to be at the forefront of green credential Net Zero vessel design and builds within the yachting industry and to bring sustainability to the forefront within the yachting and maritime sectors. Sustainable Yachting, the carbon footprint, environmental and social impact of our operations and the vessels we design and build and subsequently sail within the blue economy is of paramount to Capital C as an organisation.
Our commitment to sustainability not only lies within our own Net Zero goals but also within our ultimate goal of creating sustainable circular economies within our vessel designs, builds and supply chains.
Capital C subscribes to and supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Capital C, in-line with the 2015 Paris Agreement for climate change, is committed to being a Net Zero company by 2030 for all of our operations.
Capital C believes that to achieve the SDG and Net Zero targets, partnerships within numerous diverse market segments are needed to push the envelope of technology and science to achieve these targets sooner rather than later. To achieve these Net Zero and sustainability goals, we are collaborating and connecting with like-minded partners within the yachting, maritime, technology, aerospace, engineering, security and scientific research communities.

News outlets are reporting the Seizure for Search of Superyacht Tango, by the Spanish Authorities in Mallorca. It is currently being searched by police and members of the FBI. This $120 Million, 77.7m Feadship built Superyacht is said to be owned by Russian Billionaire Viktor Felixovich Vekselber and again, it looks like this search and seizure may be the work of the US.
Viktor Feliksovich Vekselberg is a Ukrainian-born, Russian–Cypriot oligarch, billionaire, and businessman. He is the owner and president of Renova Group, a Russian conglomerate. According to Forbes, as of November 2021, his fortune is estimated at $9.3 billion, making him the 262nd richest person in the world.
Vekselberg is close to the Kremlin,overseeing projects to modernize the Russian economy. In April 2018, the United States imposed sanctions on him and 23 other Russian nationals in relation to Russia's annexation of Crimea, officially freezing up to $2 billion in assets. In March 2022, following Russia's invasion against Ukraine, the United States strengthened its sanctions and the UK, EU and Australia also placed sanctions on Vekselberg, thereby seizing his assets and imposing a travel ban.

An event for women in yachting to share real-life stories and promote financial wellbeing and career longevity…
Working on board a superyacht offers career, financial and lifestyle opportunities like no other and, for these reasons, it is becoming an increasingly popular avenue for young people at the start of their working lives. For women, however, a career in yachting can have limitations – whether it be down to a desire to have children, or the entrenched age discrimination prevalent in the industry especially towards female crew, women typically leave yachting earlier than their male counterparts. As such, when the time comes for them to transition ashore, they are faced with a unique set of career and financial challenges.
Join Cherise and Gemma as they talk about this second event to be held in England, what it can offer women that are transitioning out of yachting, and the plans for the future!

“We must begin by learning what it means to have enough… to feel gratitude for having been born on a planet so rich in nature and gratitude for the water that makes our life possible. If you open your eyes you will see that the world is full of so much that deserves our gratitude. When you have become the embodiment of gratitude, think about how pure the water that fills your body will be. When this happens, you, yourself will be a beautiful shining crystal of light.”

WARNING: May be triggering (due to the ongoing fear within the industry to be identified speaking out, we have hidden the identity of the guest)
Sadly in the yachting industry, we have normalized the issues of bullying, poor mental health, verbal/physical abuse, work, and sexual harassment at sea, among many others, and tabooed the solutions. But Uncensored is here to change that. Join Marien and Angela in a conversation about normalizing these topics and learn about the available resources to support you when times get tough.

Havana, Cuba, is the birthplace of the mojito, although its exact origin is the subject of debate. It was known that the local South American Indians had remedies for various tropical illnesses, so a small boarding party went ashore on Cuba and came back with ingredients for an effective medicine. The ingredients were aguardiente de caña (translated as "burning water", a crude form of rum made from sugar cane) mixed with local tropical ingredients: lime, sugarcane juice, and mint. Lime juice on its own would have significantly prevented scurvy and dysentery, and tafia/rum was soon added as it became widely available to the British (ca. 1650). Mint, lime and sugar were also helpful in hiding the harsh taste of this spirit. Another theory is that it was invented by Sir Francis Drake. The "El Draque" cocktail was prepared with brandy. While this drink was not called a mojito at this time, it was the original combination of these ingredients.

“We must begin by learning what it means to have enough… to feel gratitude for having been born on a planet so rich in nature and gratitude for the water that makes our life possible. If you open your eyes you will see that the world is full of so much that deserves our gratitude. When you have become the embodiment of gratitude, think about how pure the water that fills your body will be. When this happens, you, yourself will be a beautiful shining crystal of light.”

Jen Adams is a functional nutritionist who teaches people who want to learn the importance of nutrition to improve their future metabolic health.
There is a wealth of contradictory information about nutrition, which confuses and overwhelms most people. Jen has made it simple by sharing her experience from 10 years in clinical practice as a registered nutritional and aesthetic skin therapist in online webinars, courses and coaching.
Mainly because she genuinely believes your health is an essential part of the the journey to success in life.
The quality of your food choices impacts the metabolic pathways such as; delivery of energy into cells, the liver's ability to cleanse away toxins, and the quality of the gut microbiome to fight infection.
If you are struggling with lack of energy, mood swings, anxiety, gut health, ageing skin, and managing your weight, these are the signs it's time to learn the basic nutrition facts about the food you are eating and the long term consequences on your metabolic health.
You deserve the freedom of looking in the mirror and liking what you see. It's time we all took responsibility for our health and discovered the truth about how nutrition affects our metabolic health.
This is not a diet it's an education, It is what your Doctor won't tell you and your most personal trainers do NOT know.

I began my culinary career in the south of France in 2011 after over 8 years in the hospitality industry in the UK.My cooking style is a mixture of culinary traditions with a slight modern twist. I also enjoy the typical flavors of Thailand and Japan. I aim to produce healthy meals without having to sacrifice flavours which is why the foundation of my cooking is using seasonal, fresh and organic produce whenever possible. My mission is always to deliver a great culinary experience rather than just a meal. I'm constantly building my recipe collection with the ingredients I find all around the world. I would describe my food style as Modern, Fresh, and Inventive. My main 'go to' ingredients have to be fresh herbs, citrus and sea salt. For even more food inspiration, check out my instagram page to see where i am in the world... food_with_phair Source: https://chefmelissaphair.weebly.com/about.html

Why is our breath so important for our life?
As it governs all major functions in our body such as the gas exchange, nervous & immune system, vitality & energy levels, massaging our heart and digestive organs, when the diaphragm is engaged in a COMPLETE breath instead of a DEEP breath, which can also entail reverse breathing.

They cover how it will affect current builds, how crew will get paid, provisioning, fuel, mooring, how it affects yacht management companies, the marinas and of course, how Russian crew that are on a non Russian Yacht will be able to receive their pay, or pay those bills needed paying in Russia, if that is the case.
Ian is also spearheading an effort to help aid those in need in the Ukraine, and we will make sure to forward on the information when we receive it!

'Microplastics' - we've all heard of them and over the last two years alone, have become aware of just how pervasive these tiny pieces of plastic are within our environment, and our human bodies… In this episode, we speak with Dr. Christopher Pham and Dr. Roman Lehner, two eminent scientists who study the very topic of microplastics, to help us better understand the plastic soup upon which we sail, soup we can’t see so well from above the waterline. Focusing on our recent sailing expedition mid-Atlantic, around the plastic-rich waters of the Azores, we look at how microplastics are created, just how far they have got, and Dr. Lehner’s pioneering research on how they may be interacting with our very cell structures…

Meet Joaquín Tintoré, Director of SOCIB
"Welcome to SOCIB, the Coastal Ocean Observing and Forecasting System located in the Balearic Islands, a new facility of facilities, open to international access.
SOCIB is a multi-platform, distributed and integrated system that provides streams of oceanographic data, modelling services and new technologies to support operational oceanography in a European and international framework, therefore also contributing to the needs of marine and coastal research in the context of global change. In line with EuroGOOS, operational oceanography is here understood in a broad sense, including both the systematic long-term measurement of the seas and their interpretation and dissemination, and also the sustained supply of multidisciplinary data to cover the needs of a wide range of scientific research and societal priorities. This enables a quantitative increase in our understanding of key questions on oceans and climate change, sea level rise, coastal ocean and nearshore processes, ecosystem variability and marine resources, marine safety, among others, and through the application and transfer of this knowledge, lead us towards a more integrated and science based coastal and ocean management.
SOCIB is a joint initiative between the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) and the Balearic Islands Government (Govern de les Illes Balears). SOCIB activities are science, technology and society driven and accordingly, SOCIB is designed to respond to international scientific priorities and to the increasing need of society for intensive and quasi real-time monitoring and forecasting of the complex coastal environment. The 3 basic elements of SOCIB, the observing facilities, the modelling facility and the data centre facility configure a state of the art marine infrastructure available and open to cooperate in cutting-edge research. From now on, my multidisciplinary team and I are happy to collaborate in leading monitoring and forecasting initiatives and research projects that contribute to science and that also contribute to the strategic needs of industry and society."

Today in Uncensored, we speak with Margarita Aman, a former Chief Stew and now Managing Director of IMS GmbH, who was part of the panel of The Superyacht Forum Live 2021. Where she raised awareness about topics such as diversity and inclusion, as well as the expectation to work under inadequate and unprofessional conditions and how this affects the crew's mental health and work performance and leads to unnecessary crew turnover. Aman believes that "real change should come from the white-collar, and those with 'real' power". Join us for a conversation that will inspire you to become a forward-thinking individual in an industry that's becoming more mature and prosperous.

For thousands of years, we've been building boats. We began, and indeed continued for centuries, with wood, but since the mass-commercialisation of plastic since the late 1940's, we've been making boats from glass or fibre-reinforced plastics. Building new boats this way is carbon-intensive plus there is little, if any, formal process in the world for these huge plastic hulls when they come to the end of their lives. In this episode, we speak with Friedrich Deimann and his Co-Managing Director, Jan Paul Schirmer, of Greenboats - a German-based team with big ambitions, building boats in a cleaner and more efficient way.

Our emission of greenhouse gases, namely significant amounts of Co2 over several hundred years, is altering our climate. We often turn to trees and replanting vegetation, Green Carbon, as the opportunity to recapture carbon from our atmosphere, but coastal ecosystems are exceptionally apt at carbon capture and storage, too - almost more effective than the Green Carbon counterpart. In this episode we speak with Lucy McMahon, Marine and Coastal Scientist and ocean optimist, about Blue Carbon; what it means, how effective our Blue ecosystems are at moderating our planetary climate, and why we need to protect them.

Meet Tim Morley, Owner of Morley Yachts.
"Tim Morley, founder of Morley Yachts, started his yachting career on board the motor yacht LEANDER, where he worked as a crew between 1997 and 2000. At the time LEANDER was considered, without doubt, to be the best charter yacht in the world.
Coming ashore in 2000, Morley worked for two well established yacht brokerage firms before founding Morley Yachts in 2005. Our first office was next to the port of Antibes, the yachting capital of the world at that time.
From the beginnings of Morley Yachts in 2005, we brought people together on board yachts, recognising that the business was about relationship building and partnerships.
Morley has become an expert in many things yachting related, but we never stop learning. This constant process of acquiring knowledge and understanding allows us to offer advice and guidance. Our objective is to ensure people make the right choice when it comes to a yacht.
We also understand that the crew are in many ways more important than the yacht itself. The Morley Yachts team spent a great deal of time over the years meeting the crew. We try to get to know them, to be able to match the right crew with the guests. A good crew is more important than a good yacht when it comes to the overall experience." Source: www.morelyyachts.com

Without antifouling, any surface in water, like ship hulls and offshore constructions, will foul with algae, mussels and barnacles.
Traditional antifouling paints are highly toxic and very harmful to the environment. Finsulate offers an environmental friendly solution to the fouling challenge.

Nike Air Jordan 1 1985 sneakers listed for sale for $250,000
A prototype pair of 1985 Nikes made specifically for the Michael Jordan just hit the resale market.
The pre-owned sneakers are a player sample and come with the NBA legend’s signature on the right shoe. Now up for auction on eBay for $250,000, the Nike Air 1 OG Chicago Player Sample—with a left shoe in size 13 and a right in 13.5—was kept in multiple safe deposit boxes to keep the kicks in pristine condition. California sports company, Upper Deck also authenticated the GOAT’s signature on the shoes in 1998.
Michael Jordan 1984 Nike Air Jordans become the most expensive sneakers sold at Auction
The 1984 Nike Air Ships are now the most expensive sneakers ever sold at auction and the first to reach more than $1 million under the gavel. The slam-dunk kicks—which hammered for $1.472 million, to be exact—were acquired by avid cards collectors Nick Fiorella, according to our friends in the auction house Sotheby's.
LVMH Swaps in Dior’s Damien Bertrand to Lead Loro Piana
LVMH has named a new chief executive for the Italian luxury brand Loro Piana, tapping Damien Bertrand, a managing director at the group’s fast-growing Christian Dior label for the position.
Fabio d’Angelantonio, a former marketing executive at Luxottica who became Loro Piana’s chief executive in 2016, will leave the brand, the French luxury group said in an internal announcement seen by BoF.
Drake's exclusive see-through Richard Mille watch
Drake is no stranger to Luxury News Weekly as he is rumoured to probably have the world's most impressive watch collection. His collection might not be to everyone's taste but his passion for exclusive watches cannot be denied. His latest acquisition is a Richard Mille watch with a case made from sapphire crystal, making it basically see-through. There is a bit of a debate as to whether it's a RM 5602 (one of 10) or an RM056, which was the world’s first production watch with a sapphire crystal case when it was introduced in 2012. The dial of this watch is however more colourful and could have cost Drake at least $2m.
Christian Dior Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum
The Brooklyn Museum unveiled a major Dior extravaganza, “Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams,” on the 10th of September.
Set in an epic 22,000-square-foot space it is a very glamorous ode to a brand often considered the epitome of French fashion. Dior has passed through the hands of seven different designers. Featuring tons of fairy tale dresses, the exhibition is the intersection of couture, art and technology.

“What has really helped me not go crazy throughout this time is my ability to meditate on the move through these beats.
I listened to my neuro beats and meditation music in my headphones at work. And they helped me with my productivity, with my focus. I get more work done now than I ever have before, because I discovered what works for me. And that's through these tones and through these beats. So I got a lot of value when I started to make them for everybody else. You can listen to them while you're doing everyday activities. And the proof's in the pudding. I have had great benefits.
I was a cigarette smoker, maybe a pack a day at my worst point. Meditation and binaural beats has helped me out with that. I have ADHD, meditation has helped me with my focus and concentration at work.“

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Rik Breur, winner of the European Inventor Award 2019, material scientist and founder of revolutionary antifoul product, Finsulate, about why we should care about our bottoms and how nature inspired his solution to this ocean pollution problem.

From mental health, ways to improve your life and your health, Karine brings us the experts every week! For a mid week boost, this is one to watch!
The Wellbeing Project: Mental Health
Ryan and Sophie are a couple in their mid-thirties that quit their start-up jobs in 2017 after nearly 10 years of a career that left them dissatisfied. They departed from their home port of Stockholm Sweden in 2018 to pursue a life of adventures at sea, sailing around the world in a 40 foot sailboat. They have sailed 13000 nautical miles from Sweden to the Mediterranean sea and twice across the Atlantic. They are now getting ready for a third Atlantic crossing that will take them from the Canary Islands to the South of the Caribbean sea. In this interview we explore how mental health issues spurred on this sea change.

Thanks to journalists like Jordan Page, courageous women have shared their stories to create a wave of awareness that acts as the foundation for regulations to change within the maritime industry to have a safer working environment at sea. Join Jordan and Marién for an Uncensored episode about why he wrote his latest article: The hidden dark side of the yachting industry for Cosmopolitan Uk and how this has impacted his and the lives of others inside and outside the yachting industry.

A very honest discussion with The Crew Coach, Sunday London Times and the Yacht Purser regarding sexual harassment and assault within our industry.
The reason why I have brought on Megan the editor at the Sunday London Times Magazine to join us in the discussion was largely due to the response she received to an article she released earlier this year, where a shore-based company responded saying it was sensationalism. I contacted a few people, some of whom are clients of mine, to determine whether their message had been distorted in any way. Tune in to find out what the dysfunctions are and how we can solve them.

Working in a luxury industry like yachting definitely has its perks but we can’t ignore the crude reality we face day in and day out as crew members. We live in a confined space with different personalities and cultural backgrounds, to say the least. Many of us struggle navigating the ocean of emotions we are gifted with, specially when we get triggered by unpleasant interactions with our fellow crew members. Today Chelsea Haines former Chief Stew now Gut Health and Intuition Coach shares simple actions we can use when we find ourselves in the middle of an unpleasant situation. These simple actions will allow you to ground back into yourself, so that you may respond instead of react when you get triggered. As crew members we need to take responsibility, learn and implement tools in our lives that will not only benefit us, but the entire team as a whole. After all we are in this together, like it or not.

"This decadent, richly indulgent cocktail is essentially a boozy milkshake - but we’re not complaining. It’s got 3 types of booze: gin (of course!), amaretto, and Irish liqueur (like Baileys) - so it’ll really get the party started! And the dessert cocktail’s sweet side is equally scrumptious, with vanilla syrup, cream and a lovely sprinkle of grated nutmeg to give it a flavoursome finish. Mmmmmmm!"

This week, we thought it apt to bring back a very enlightened interview with Rebecca Whitlocke. With another panel in yachting showing NO diversity, equality or inclusion whatsoever, after last year, showing at least equality, we are wondering if the industry has found it's excuse to turn back the hands of time!
Rhea has stepped in for Gabriela this week as she is on Charter, and what a week to step in. Rebecca Whitlocke dropped her truth bombshell yesterday on LinkedIn and the responses are still rolling in. As a result, YIR wanted to have the conversation to delve further into why there was a need for this story, what the current situation is, and how the Industry can move forward in a positive manner, not just with lip service and hashtags, but with ACTUAL change.
As is usual when these two get together, it is raw, real and honest!

Gabriela is joined by Simone, and the talk about being black in yachting EVERYWHERE in the world is very frank and real. Gabriela highlights her experiences as well. The blatant racism that is STILL in the industry today is not an easy pill to swallow and honestly reminds YIR of what the worldview was over 30 years ago.
If you are a company that is concerned about Diversity in Yachting,
if you are crew that is one of those that has suffered from discrimination in the industry, this is one to watch! It is time for change, are you part of the solution, or part of the problem?

Have you ever not done something that you really wanted to do, because you felt nervous or anxious about it, like maybe going skydiving or travelling to a new country whose language you don't speak, or maybe something more day to day like asking someone on a date, or just stepping out of your comfort zone and doing something that you wouldn't usually do.
When you don't do these things when you don't face your fears anxiety has a tendency to grow, and this is explained by something called the cycle of anxiety or the cycle of avoidance.

Uncensored a YIR show is a safe platform that gives you, yacht crew the opportunity to speak up about what needs change in the yachting industry. It also educates you via different experts on how to avoid, handle, prevent, and heal from these experiences.
Throughout the courageous guests we have had; we have been able to shine a light on mental health, bullying, equality, sexism, sexual harassment/abuse, and human/sex trafficking.
In this episode, we dive deep into a healing space with the Directrix of Wild Essence, Jessie Mendez, a Womb Trauma Expert. She shares with you how to heal from these traumatic experiences and how to start creating change around these unfortunate events.
Tune in to re-educate yourself on how to prevent this from happening and heal if you have experienced this. Jessi in her own words said: “those who have experienced these things need to call out how much is not ok; And for those men who are capable of recognizing there is an injustice happening, those voices need to get louder, we need an honorable masculine presence, we need the protector role to exist.” The time to SPEAK UP is HERE and NOW. Will you?

Michael Lees, Director/Editor of UNCIVILIZED joins us to talk about what life has been like for the past year, how the pandemic has impacted business and what he is planning for the future.
"UNCIVILIZED is the incredible true story detailing one man's confrontation with one of the deadliest hurricanes of all time...........alone, in the wild.
In 2017 Michael Lees set out to the forest with nothing more than some basic tools, religious texts and camera gear. His goal: to find a way out of the modern perils of overconsumption, technology addiction and global warming. But three months in, Category 5 Hurricane Maria - one of the most powerful hurricanes of all time - made a direct hit on Michael’s island. All of a sudden, the entire island must reckon with itself as the entire population is sent back to the stone age. Find more of Michael’s work and photography at www.michaelleesmedia.com"

We talk about racism and mental health. A show that is well worth watching and really taking time to understand.

On today's episode Mickey a yacht stewardess and Marien talk about the typical blinders green crew usually have when joining the industry and how this affects them once they are on the glorious white boats. They dive deep into the lack of control many crew face onboard especially when it comes to alcohol consumption and spending. And how all this is truly a coping mechanism for something deeper within themselves that needs attention. They also shine a light on the truth that there is not enough support especially from the HOD for crew to feel safe and supported when speaking about their mental health.
If you need support with your mental health and well being visit the YM support Directory here https://www.yachtsmermaids.com/directory and find out who is available to help you on your journey. Download On the GO Crew Support Directory and share it with your HOD and add it to the crew board so your team knows who is available to help them right now.

Chef Abigail Pawlik was born and raised in the Hamptons, New York! She is a mixed race (African American, Cherokee Indian, Irish, Polish, Israeli, Italian, German, French and Pakistani) American Chef. She proudly states she was born at home, in Sag Harbor, a sleepy little New York town that wakes up when the yachts arrive for summer. When born, her midwife stated that in her Cherokee native tribe, she would be a medicine woman with healing hands. That gift was later recognized when she began cooking at the age of 12.
She attended Hayground school in Bridgehampton, NY where her mother placed her to harness her creative energy and nurture her. The school had an emphasis on diversity and knowledge of all cultures. The founders and staff emphasized the importance on teaching children where their food came from and the slow food movement. At the age of 14, she began teaching cooking at the Hayground summer camp. She was entrusted with the lofty goal of teaching and feeding children and faculty alike. There, she began to teach herself and learn from everyone around her including world renowned chefs.
Slowly, 5 clients became 10, 10 became 15 and so her career as a private chef began. After 5 years working selling business management software an innovative company, teaching cooking in the summer, and chefing privately at night, she decided it was time to launch her full time chef career. Initially, she joined yachting with the original intent of subsidizing a small business catering in NY.
After her first season in Fort Lauderdale, she fell in love with being on boats and decided to challenge herself on charter yachts. The goal being to always be a different restaurant every meal. Dietary restrictions, guest preference, product availability, weather conditions and any other obstacle thrown her way she wanted to always strive for excellence. Abigail is well versed in a variety of cuisines ranging from French, Asian, Swedish, Spanish, Mediterranean, Indian, Italian, to vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian!
In 2019 she reluctantly competed at the Newport Charter Show in their annual Chef competition. She cooked a dish that reminded her of something she would make for the people she loves most and cooked “the way I like to eat, and something my people would love” she says. She was concerned about being the youngest, less experienced, and only female chef. She won first place!
With the complications of covid, family and personal life taking importance, and wanting to build a lasting career path outside of exclusively cheffing, she is now freelance! Abigail is currently working on her blog about cooking, and starting a new business!

A highball made of spicy ginger beer and rich Gosling's Black Seal dark rum, the drink allegedly got its name from an old sailor who compared the drink's murky hue to the color of storm clouds. It's an unproven legend, but the drink's connection to the joys and dangers of seafaring is well-established.

We welcome back Verena Lawaetz from Balenbouche Estates. We find out what this past year has been like in St. Luci, what is happening now and what the future will bring. A pretty candid conversation about the Pandemic and how it is affecting people throughout the Caribbean.
"The History of Balenbouche Estate begins with the first indigenous Amerindians, who came from Central America and lived on the island for hundreds of years before the Europeans arrived. Then, from the late 1700’s to the 1930’s Balenbouche was established as a sugar plantation by the French and British. In 1979 St Lucia became independent. Since 1964, the former st lucia plantation has been owned and managed by the Lawaetz family, who gradually converted the property into an eco-friendly Guesthouse, organic farm and retreat center.
Many Caribbean Plantations have a pre-colonial history which is often forgotten. Long before Africans and Europeans, indigenous people settled at Balenbouche.
Almost 2000 years ago the Igneri (commonly known as Arawak) came to St Lucia in large dug out canoes. They were followed by the more nomadic and war-faring Kalinago (Carib) Indians around 1000 AD. When the Europeans arrived, Amerindians suffered a typical fate. In the 1660’s, the remaining native inhabitants on St Lucia surrendered to the French, leaving behind only traces of their presence, such as beautiful pottery, stone tools, carved rock basins and petroglyphs along the Balenbouche river. Some Amerindian traditions, such as cassava making and boat building, have left a mark on St. Lucian culture." Source https://www.balenbouche.com/history/

With global shipping emissions equivalent to that of our aviation industries, it's clear that massive opportunities lie in cleaner, smarter innovations. In this first episode of the Clean Sailors podcast, host Holly is joined by Per Tunnell, COO of Wallenius Marine, to discuss the power of sails in modern-day shipping.

Meet Captain Rupert Savage from PINMAR
"We have been very active in adapting to the new demands of the market in becoming more efficient and preparing for the next few years of growth in servicing a superyacht fleet which continues to expand in both number and size of vessels. As part of this preparation we formed the Global Yachting Group (GYG), with our partners, Rolling Stock. Within GYG are several service companies, including Pinmar, Rolling Stock, Pinmar USA, Pinmar Supply, our yacht chandlery and supply network, along with Technocraft our in-house scaffolding, containment and fittings business.
We’ve refinished 100s of the world’s finest yachts and increasingly we’re involved in finishing some of the largest and most exciting new builds in many of the leading superyacht building yards.
We’re also very proud to have developed the Pinmar Paint Standard, recently updated to version 2.0, our industry’s first comprehensive statement of how a client's expected paint finish should be measured and agreed.
We continue to run the Pinmar Paint Academy’s non-profit making paint courses which teach yacht crew about what we do and how they can look after their paintwork." Source: www.pinmar.com

Sheila Ruffin, a Hampton University and Howard University School of Law graduate, was born on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, where she was exposed early to the boating life. Her grandfather, “Big Rich,” was an avid boater on the Chesapeake Bay, and at age 6, her mother taught her about the travel industry by planning family vacations. As the tourism manager for a Caribbean carnival company, Sheila made history by coordinating the first U.S. group to participate in a festival in Cuba, which hosted 120 represented countries and 90,000 attendees.
In 2012, Sheila worked on issues relating to yacht marina construction, boating pollution, public beach access, and cruise port congestion in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. Since 2015, she has examined commercial marinas, boat storage facilities, and impacts to recreational water activities as an energy attorney in Washington, D.C. Sheila is a board member of the U.S. Sailing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and was selected for Boating Industry’s 40 Under 40 award in 2021. Sheila earned her travel agent certification from the Travel Institute, and founded Soca Caribbean Yacht Charters as a dedication to her grandfather and her desire to “make waves & rock the boat” in the yacht industry.

“Hiya! My name is Emily Vazquez. I was born in Dominican Republic and raised in Miami Beach, Florida. I currently hold a 100T master inland USCG captains license and go to school for nursing! I have been in the yachting industry coming up on three years in November!
Primarily freelancing on vessels under 100’ as a mate and captaining under 40’. I love everything about my job. From the dirty work getting down in the sauna that is the engine room to the glamours locations I get to explore. There is nothing else I see myself doing!
I stumbled into the industry while bartending Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). A broker gave me a tour on a Mega yacht and instantly fell in love with the idea of making it a career.
From then to now I have worked on all sorts of boats. Each boat igniting a bigger fire in my soul to be behind the helm. I began as a deck/stew in the Miami Beach solely working day charters and aiming to one day be a captain on a 150’ yacht! Until then I am starting small with my single engine boats and slowly but surely working my way up 🙂 is this the part I should mention I am only 20 years old? If I can do it, so can you! “

"Most bon viveurs would agree that two of the most crucial ingredients in any successful event are food and wine.
After all, they are the elements most likely to leave lasting memories indelibly imprinted in the mind - and on the tastebuds too! So it’s no surprise to find that East Coast food and wine expert Nancy Bean was the natural candidate to spearhead the F&B offering at this year’s inaugural Caribbean Charter Yacht Show.
With a career encompassing prestigious gastronomy events such as the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival, the Newport Mansions Wine & Food Festival and James Beard Taste America, Nancy could not be better placed to create a totally new and innovative culinary experience at the four-day show, which takes place at IGY’s Yacht Haven Grande Marina, St. Thomas, in December.

Meet Tim Morley, Owner of Morley Yachts.
"Tim Morley, founder of Morley Yachts, started his yachting career on board the motor yacht LEANDER, where he worked as a crew between 1997 and 2000. At the time LEANDER was considered, without doubt, to be the best charter yacht in the world.
Coming ashore in 2000, Morley worked for two well established yacht brokerage firms before founding Morley Yachts in 2005. Our first office was next to the port of Antibes, the yachting capital of the world at that time.
From the beginnings of Morley Yachts in 2005, we brought people together on board yachts, recognising that the business was about relationship building and partnerships.
Morley has become an expert in many things yachting related, but we never stop learning. This constant process of acquiring knowledge and understanding allows us to offer advice and guidance. Our objective is to ensure people make the right choice when it comes to a yacht." Source: www.morelyyachts.com

Easy to make and refreshingly bitter, the Negroni is said to have been invented in Florence by the dauntless Italian Count Camillo Negroni in the early 20th century. While at Bar Casoni in Florence, he demanded that the bartender strengthen his favorite cocktail, the Americano, by replacing the usual soda water with gin. To further differentiate the drink, the bartender also employed an orange peel rather than the typical lemon peel.

This week we head to Grenada, and talk to Canadian Captain, Monique Mills. We talk about what it is like for Grenada over a year after the start of the Pandemic, how small businesses are coping, who is chartering, and what Grenada is like to visit as a tourist at the moment, including protocols for tourist safety.
During the downtime, not only did Monique and her crew do all the necessary maintenance on the yacht, but as well found time to give back to the community and the oceans in which she, and many others earn a living and feed their families!
"On an uninhabited island of the Windward Islands, lays Isle Rhonde. A community comes together to remove massive plastic waste at a turtle nesting site. Almost all the waste is from single use plastic water bottles. It is critical that the flow of plastic stops. Over 100 bags of garbage were transported on Jambalaya to Grenada mainland. Sailing vessel Hecate transported a similar quantity of garbage."

We are over 7 billion people on this planet, of which 925 million are starving. Yet we annually lose and waste 1,3 billion tons of food – or enough to feed 3 billion people.
Baruch is a Chef with 20 years of experience. Today he shares simple solutions you can implement as a Chef or crew member to aid in the elimination of food waste onboard. We also explore the topic of crew food allergies and requirements. How that affects the Chef’s role and what you can do to support him/her.
One thing we forgot to mention in this episode, but that I find extremely important as part of the role of eliminating food waste, is to take expiry dates with a grain of salt. You can use a simple app like Foodkeeper to search the latest safety expiring guideline for each aliment (cooked or uncooked). Another thing you can do is to donate the “expired” food. Search the food donation safety guidelines in the country that you are in, to ensure that you are following the rules. Before you dump something in the trash bin, check if is till good, use or donate it. You have the power to change the world, use it wisely.

Introducing CEO Robert Smith and Marketing specialist Amelia Smith from SHADOWCATS. With larger and larger yachts being built, the trend toward expedition yachts, the need to be able to go farther and for longer, the idea of a support vessel is not just something the new UHNWI wants, it is something they need.
"The catamaran design allows a maximized beam for the given length of the vessel and the abundance of usable deck space accommodates a wide range of tenders and toys. It also has room for a fully certified CAP437 Helipad for helicopters of 6 tons and upwards with a possible D-value of over 16.1 meters. These include the Eurocopter EC145T2, Airbus H160 and the Leonard AW139 up to military style equipment."

Eddie Gill IV is a 3rd year Environmental Science student and collegiate basketball player in Indiana. He is a lifelong fisherman, adventurer and outdoor enthusiast.
Eddie aims to bring awareness and diversity to the boating community through his Journey for a Cause project. He will be boating down the Ohio River, down the Tennessee-Tombigwee waterway, and then down to the Gulf of Mexico in order to promote and educate others. He is currently working towards getting his Captains license as well as gaining sponsorship for his project. Eddie recently partnered with PARKER BOATS and believes that through representation in advertising and marketing with large outdoor brands, some of the stigmas and stereotypes within the boating industry can be broken down and changed. Eddie wants to challenge the stereotypes and raise awareness on this issue, promoting the notion that 'the color of your skin has no bearing on what you love to do." Eddie hopes to break down barriers and make an impact on both young and old, black and white, rich and poor.
All the remaining proceeds from Journey for a Cause will be donated to non-profits working to promote equality and justice for all.

It feels like yesterday when I started back in 2004, and moving all the way up the food chain from your entry level chamois technician all the way to Captain somewhat feels surreal.
Ever since I started, it’s been a whirlwind of travel, fun and lots of hard work, but I wouldn’t have changed a thing (maybe a couple of crew members or captains but that’s for another day).
Since getting information about Yachting has become so much easier, but back in 2009 I moved into the path for bringing more information about Yachting into the social realm. Facebook changed a lot, but even with every piece of information out there, people still have questions, and I’ve found I’ve been in a great place to tell people logical steps to move towards their goal.
At the end of the day this has been more of a passion project than a monetary one. With the questions increasing, I dusted off a ebook I wrote years ago and put it out to the world. In addition to that, Joined forces with some amazing yachting kin that are also in the social media sphere and hopefully bringing a little more realism to what we do.
I’ve not really seen myself as a mentor, but of late more and more people have been reaching out to thank me for the motivation and advice that I’ve given.
I don’t sugar coat anything, it needs to be real and you need to be willing to put in the effort to firstly secure a job, but also to keep it. So from someone that has made it to Captain on a 45m (which I still think is smaller than I’d like)… I’m happy to continue to push and help those that are willing to do the same!
Oh,… and after 17 years in Yachting, this Australian now lives in Florida, Married with two kids and is currently operating the Yacht Bella, the 45m Feadship.

From growing up in the Foster care system in Canada, heading out on her own at 15, homelessness, addiction, mental health battles, overcoming all and becoming a Captain. Find out her journey to get to where she is and what her driving mission is now that she has achieved her goal of Captain.
Lisa and her partner Nini Champion are taking on one of the most difficult challenges of their lives and raising money for children that are aging out of care in Canada.
The Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge
"Rowing to change lives
The challenge of rowing an ocean reflects the struggles faced by youth in foster care. Unable to see the destination, we row on, we batten the hatches to ride out a storm, unsure of how off course it may blow us. Through pain, tears, or trepidation, we continue to paddle, stroke by stroke; a self supported vessel across a vast and unforgiving ocean."
With the funds raised, Team Ocean Grown will set up the Bridges Over Water grant fund within HomeBridge to finance youth aging out of the foster care system to pursue careers in the maritime sector.
Applicants will receive funding for courses and education, benefit from the incredible LegaSea mentorship program for ongoing job counselling support and be eligible for industry job placements.

"UNCIVILIZED is the incredible true story detailing one man's confrontation with one of the deadliest hurricanes of all time...........alone, in the wild.
In 2017 Michael Lees set out to the forest with nothing more than some basic tools, religious texts and camera gear. His goal: to find a way out of the modern perils of overconsumption, technology addiction and global warming. But three months in, Category 5 Hurricane Maria - one of the most powerful hurricanes of all time - made a direct hit on Michael’s island. All of a sudden, the entire island must reckon with itself as the entire population is sent back to the stone age. Find more of Michael’s work and photography at www.michaelleesmedia.com"

Today we are joined by guest Joey Neely. Joey is originally from Atlanta, Georgia and is currently the Mate on a 1968 Burger M/Y. They spend winter in The Bahamas and Summer in New England.
Two years ago, Joey ran into an old friend who invited him as a guest on his classic yacht. Joey spent some time chatting with the Mate on board that went into depth about what being a yacht crew member was. Joey studied Business and Marketing and is very keen on event planning and theme parties. After spending 15 years working as a bartender and server in the Hospitality industry, Joey decided to take his hospitality to the sea. He moved into a crew house in Fort Lauderdale, attended Bluewater for his certification courses and started working as a Stew/Deck. Joey enjoys working on the interior, as service, event planning, and entertaining are his strengths.
Joey touches on the reality, that there are not many openly gay crew members, and how homophobia and prejudice still play a big part of the industry. Yachting has a very long way to go in terms of discrimination and becoming more accepting of people from all walks of life, sexualities, races, and religious groups.

Acrew nominee captain master unlimited - Captain Tom shows his learnings as a Captain his failures and insights into his philosophy into running a vessel.
I started sailing with my Father at the age of 4 on a global roundtrip, and from there the road was short into a professional life on ships. I’m a fifth generation sailor and I love every minute of it. I was given my first command at the age of 29 on a commercial ship, but from there I got into yachting through an owner that took me onboard his yacht and had me convinced and converted into a pro yachtie. The development over the last 20 years of this industry has been tremendous, in both vessel size and technology onboard. The demands of insight and professionalism have been a factor that has been playing a major role in my personal development. Crew training and certification has been given much more attention, and this is now more important than ever. Training crew and developing their skills is one of the most important jobs we as senior officers do. New Builds and new technology became my strong side, and now we are looking to build zero emission yachts that has all the top standards and beyond

Isolation and depression are significantly experienced onboard, and even though you may believe women are more prone to this, you couldn’t be further from the truth.
When Movember comes, men on yachts proudly wear their mustache but don’t realize that behind the excuse to grow facial hair is the daunting fact that the male suicide rate is higher than female. The (WHO) 2016 survey estimated 793,000 suicide deaths worldwide, and most were men.
So why is the male suicide rate several times higher than female? One key element is communication. It’s too simplistic to say women are willing to share their problems, and men tend to bottle them up. But it is true that, for generations, many societies have encouraged men to be “strong” and not admit they’re struggling.
Here at Uncensored, we are changing that by supporting men to speak up. Tune in to listen to the story of Alex Haubrich from Yachtie World. He opens up about his struggles onboard and advises on how to support men and their mental health.

Hi there,
I am from Poland
I joined industry 2011.
I came from hotel background. Always loved working in the service industry but last years in hotels I felt a bit burnt out.
I worked as operation manager in the industry and was in charge of overlooking various departments and staff. I loved mentoring and training my teams, working together, cross-training was always the pride of my hotel. But the recession and few recent years brought a lot of strain on my hotel and therefore staff.
One of my close friends Nico, started working as a chef on yachts in 2009, he met me in Manchester, he said: you are white as a ghost and look exhausted, come and join yachting, guests are great and always say thank you
I could not imagine myself at sea but I did my training packed my life, moved to France in 2011 and said / lets try !
Since then I worked on some amazing vessels, as a stew, chief stew and chef. Throughout my growth in the industry, I took 2 major points- learn from people that make me grow, remember those that try to kill my spirit, always fight with negativity.

Meet First Officer Clarissa Smallbone. She shares with you some of the mental battles, she has experienced during her time onboard yachts. In this episode we uncovered the hidden ways mental struggles can show up and what to do if you are facing them.
The Uncensored show mission is to hold space for the ones in the yachting industry who are ready and willing, to raise awareness and give a voice to those who may be struggling to find their own. We do this by having our guests share their own experiences with topics that have been suppressed, censored, and black out for way too long. The time has come to be more vocal about the reality we are facing as seafarers and how we can change that as individuals inside the industry. Here at Uncensored we are doing just that!

Onshore Cellars was set up with the belief that yacht level service can and should be delivered ethically and affordably from all your suppliers.

Over the past few years we have expanded through our online store and our Antibes wine shop to offer our wines throughout Europe.

Want to know the inside scoop on Secrets of the Caribbean? Tune in to hear from the Executive Producer himself about his history, what lead to the making of, the who's, and why's and what it has involved.
"There are dozens of travel shows that give viewers the honeymoon depictions of their favorite destinations. While the shows may highlight the areas that appeal to the general tourist, they don’t necessarily show the authenticity of a destination.
Many Caribbean destinations have an appeal to them that certain shows aren’t willing to explore. Tom Jacobs, a long time producer, is looking to change that.
He, along with a team of professionals scattered across several countries, have come together to produce one of the few Black-produced Caribbean travel shows, Secrets of the Caribbean.
Tom was simply tired of seeing shows only about resorts, beaches, the new mega-cruise ship, or hurricanes. He knew there were so many more stories to be told."

Join Gabriela and Katie in this very strong and pointed conversation about what it is like to be a person of colour in Yachting. How Europe seems to be the furthest behind when it comes to accepting people of colour in the luxury sector, the challenges faced onboard that go above and beyond the already demanding duties that are required of Yacht Crew, right down to the simple things like uniform sizes and hair, that most take for granted! The fear that yachties of colour have in speaking out about racism and their experiences, believing that this will make them lose all prospects of a job for the future.
The discussion as well brings up the topic that is featured most often in this show, in regards to the industry showing a complete lack of understanding when it comes to their marketing. How as a result, they are not even TOUCHING a HUGE segment of the population that is rapidly becoming the next generation of clientele, or rather COULD, become the next generation, now and into the future, if they were actually the target of any marketing whatsoever.
If you are wanting to know the REAL story, then watch the entire conversation. This is a no holds barred look at what the Yachting Industry needs to change for the future!

Meet Jason Lippert, President & CEO of LCI Industries. As Jason states, "if it's moving, we make parts for it!" Chances are, if you are on a boat, yacht, bus, train, or a myriad of other moving things, you are looking at, or using, a component that this company has manufactored.
From a small start up venture in 1956, founded by Larry Lippert, Jason's grandfather, to today, with almost 14,000 employees, and close to $5 Billion in annual sales. Jason takes us thru the early days up until present day, and we talk about the amazing initiative of the company to give back to the communities they serve. Find out what over 300,000 hours of collective community service has done for not only the communities, but the company itself.
"A Company Culture Where Everyone Matters"

WHY WORK FROM HOME, WHEN YOU CAN WORK FROM PARADISE?
Working from home does not have to mean working from your tiny city Apartment in whatever metropolis you dwell, does it? Working remotely does not have to mean a dreary-cold-and-dark-by-4pm winter – does it? Why not sun, sea and sand in Antigua & Barbuda or Barbados over some freshly picked mangos, perhaps in a daiquiri while you "work from home”?

Sol Velasco is a seasoned deckhand and the first female Salvadorian deckhand in the yachting industry.
Sol has been a deckhand for 7 years. Early in her career, she did attempt an interior position, and knew early on she belonged on deck. Luckily for Sol, she had a female Captain to take her under her wing, share her knowledge, and encourage her to continue on her deckhand journey.
Sol enjoys diving and yoga. A fun fact about Sol is that she was a TV show host in El Salvador for extreme sports and adventure shows! Follow Sol Velasco on Instagram @sol_la_marinera

We check out the new Ingenity Air Nautique GS22E wakesurfing boat with an all-electric drivetrain. Then, we look at a new massive Royal Huisman sailing yacht design that, if built, will be one of the biggest in the world. We talk about the divorce battle with superyacht Luna and the SBS operators who are allegedly ready to take her by force. And finally, we tour the Australian government's new Antarctic supply ship, the RSV Nuyina and learn all about the engineering that has prepared it for its frosty mission.

Working in a luxury industry like yachting definitely has its perks but we can’t ignore the crude reality we face day in and day out as crew members. We live in a confined space with different personalities and cultural backgrounds, to say the least. Many of us struggle navigating the ocean of emotions we are gifted with, specially when we get triggered by unpleasant interactions with our fellow crew members. Today Chelsea Haines former Chief Stew now Gut Health and Intuition Coach shares simple actions we can use when we find ourselves in the middle of an unpleasant situation. These simple actions will allow you to ground back into yourself, so that you may respond instead of react when you get triggered. As crew members we need to take responsibility, learn and implement tools in our lives that will not only benefit us, but the entire team as a whole. After all we are in this together, like it or not.

I am a devoted, passionate, hard-working team player who strives for perfection, with over 10 years in restaurants and hotels.
For the past 6 years I have been traveling with my previous positions around the world, from setting up a new private kitchen in Dubai to cooking in different locations daily in Moscow and also running the catering in the Principality of Monaco.
