What does it take to design and build a superyacht that truly works in operation?In this episode of On The Bridge, host Alicia Store, COO of dsnm Ltd, speaks with Lee Stevenson and Giles Frankal, co-founders of Occam Marine and former superyacht captains.Drawing on their experience at sea and within yacht construction, Lee and Giles explain why operational expertise should be introduced during the earliest stages of a superyacht build—before layouts, specifications and critical design decisions become fixed.The conversation explores how practical input from experienced captains can improve bridge design, crew and guest flow, tender operations and the overall functionality of a yacht. They also discuss the move from life at sea into business, the growth of Occam Marine and the importance of challenging decisions that may look good on paper but create problems in operation.Topics include: Why operational experience matters during a superyacht build Involving captains before major design decisions are finalised Practical bridge design and onboard workflows Improving movement for guests and crew Tender operations and real-world usability Moving from yacht command into project management Building and growing Occam Marine Guests: Lee Stevenson and Giles Frankal, Co-Founders of Occam MarineHost: Alicia Store, COO of dsnm LtdOccam Marine: https://www.occam.uk.com/dsnm Ltd: https://www.dsnmltd.com/Prefer to read?

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.⚓ In this episode:• Ashley Ogborne's route from Greece into the Merchant Navy• His Carnival UK cadetship and five years aboard cruise ships• Moving into yachting at the beginning of COVID• Dock walking as an already qualified officer• The difference between a commercial “deckie” and a yacht deckhand• Money, lifestyle and opportunity within yachting• Why smaller yachts can create a genuine family atmosphere• Rotation, relationships and maintaining a life ashore• The endless search for the “unicorn gig”• Why the grass is not always greener on somebody else's vessel• Returning to commercial shipping in New Zealand• Creating opportunities through contacts, timing and persistence• Ashley's plans for residency, land and a wellness retreat• Why he may still return to yachting

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 incidentsLearn more about CHIRP Maritime:https://chirp.co.uk/maritime/Learn more about dsnm Ltd:www.dsnmltd.comPrefer to read?Head to Yachting News on the website:https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.com/yachting-newsHost: Alicia Store, Chief Operating Officer at dsnm LtdGuest: Paul Shepherd, Chair of CHIRP's superyacht programmeOn The Bridge | dsnm Ltd | Yachting International RadioSearch Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.

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?Prefer to read?

Most of us use GPS—the Global Positioning System—on a daily basis: to find our location when we're driving, running, shopping, dating, and so much more. But GPS is even more important, and more vulnerable, than you think.In the last few years, GPS interference has been reported all over the world, from war zones to shipping routes to public squares. What was once the fanciful plot of a Bond movie—bad guy manipulates GPS to start World War III—is increasingly plausible. How did the world come to rely so heavily on such an unreliable system?In this episode of Decoder Ring, host Willa Paskin talks to journalist Katherine Dunn, author of the new book Little Blue Dot: How GPS Shaped the Modern World. You'll learn how GPS works, why it was created, how it became so ubiquitous, and why it's now under attack. You'll also hear from Dr. Todd Humphreys, an aerospace engineer who manipulated GPS to trick an $85 million superyacht into following his direction—for science, of course.This episode was written and produced by Max Freedman.

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.In This Conversation: Alcohol, drugs, and changing social norms Functioning drinking versus problem drinking Why recovery is difficult once substance use becomes a lifestyle Different drugs and different risks Drug testing and yacht crew reality How Stacey entered the yachting world Antibes nightlife and crew vulnerability Harm reduction for crew on leave Why yachting can become the perfect storm Drink spiking in marina and nightlife environments What perpetrators may look for Green crew, power imbalance, and risk Active bystander culture Social media, stalking, and personal safety Spiking drugs and alcohol risks Reporting challenges and proof Yachting safety priorities Collective responsibility Guest:Stacey MillerHost:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht LaundryPrefer to read?

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. She also shares her perspective on post-COVID shifts in yacht ownership, changing design trends, industry consolidation, sustainability, refit, reuse, and the ageing global fleet.At the centre of the discussion is a principle that applies across yachting media and the wider industry:Trust is built by telling the truth, not only the easy stories.This episode is essential listening for yacht media professionals, shipyards, brokers, designers, captains, owners' representatives, marketing teams, industry suppliers, and anyone interested in how the superyacht conversation is shaped.Topics include:• Francesca Webster's route into yachting media• Becoming Editor-in-Chief at SuperYacht Times after six weeks• Editorial trust, transparency, and reputation• Why independence matters in superyacht journalism• The changing role of print, digital, and social media• Communicating clearly in an information-heavy industry• Post-COVID shifts in yacht ownership and use• Yacht design trends, privacy, and owner behaviour• Sustainability, refit, reuse, and the ageing global fleet• Industry consolidation and changing media ownership• Reporting difficult stories with integrity• Advice for entering superyacht mediaLearn more about SuperYacht Times:https://www.superyachttimes.com/Learn more about dsnm Ltd:www.dsnmltd.comPrefer to read?Head to Yachting News on the website:https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.com/yachting-newsHost: Alicia Store, COO of dsnm LtdGuest: Francesca Webster, Editor-in-Chief at SuperYacht TimesOn The Bridge | Yachting International Radio

What does it take to build one of the most ambitious maritime projects ever conceived? In this Big BOAT Interview, BOAT's content director Lucy Dunn talks to Alain Gruber, CEO of Ulyssia Residences AG, about the 322-metre residential yacht Ulyssia. Designed by Espen Øino, it reimagines life at sea by combining private residences with the hyper-personalisation of a superyacht and the amenities of a world-class resort. Gruber explores the vision behind this floating community and how Ulyssia is redefining luxury living, ownership and the future of global travel - and reveals why they are moving the project to China. Read more about Ulyssia here: https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/ulyssia-residences-ag-superyachtFind out more about the decision to move to China: https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/323m-residential-yacht-ulyssia-construction-china-mer…

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.In This Conversation: Lynne Edwards' journey from hospitality and travel into yachting What the superyacht industry looked like in the early 1980s How guest expectations and service standards have changed Why large yachts require stronger leadership and people management Why technical training alone is not enough for interior crew The importance of purpose, mindset, resilience, and personal development How great service depends on reading the guest, not following a rigid script Why GUEST training matters for professional interior standards The challenges facing women in yachting across generations Why crew welfare, safety, leadership, and collaboration are now central industry issues How the Superyacht Alliance is helping drive conversations around professional standards Guest:Lynne EdwardsPhoenix Superyacht TrainingHost:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht LaundryPrefer to read?

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.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━SUPPORTED BYEngineered Yacht Solutions━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━Specialist welding, fabrication, and onboard engineering for yachts where precision is not optional.https://eyswelding.com

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 effectivelyGuest: Cally Cooper, Owner & Founder, WellCrew Host: Alicia Store, COO, dsnm Ltd Series: On The Bridge Produced by: Yachting International RadioWebsite: www.well-crew.com Yachting News: https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.com/yachting-newsSearch Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.

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.In This Conversation: Sophie Barber's move from yacht crew into recruitment Why she founded Vela Recruitment How yacht crew recruitment has changed Why junior roles and senior HOD roles need different hiring approaches The challenge of vague or dishonest references Why recruiters need to read between the lines Fake CVs, fake jobs, and red flags for crew Crew safety, female protection, and industry accountability The role AI may play in recruitment Why human judgement still matters in yacht hiring Guest:Sophie BarberFounder, Vela RecruitmentHost:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht LaundryPrefer to read?

Where the Map Ends: The Finest MYSEA Yacht Charter Experiences Do Not Simply Show You the World. They Renew Your Sense of Wonder. Where the horizon begins to change.There is a moment, somewhere after the coastline disappears, when the world becomes impossibly quiet. Not silent. The sea is never silent but emptied of interruption; no traffic, no schedules, no performance. Only the sound of water moving against the hull and the peculiar awareness that life on land has fallen away behind you.Tim Clark, Senior Yacht Broker of MySea, joins the Elevated Magazines Podcast for an insightful conversation about bespoke, curated yacht charter experiences. Tim was introduced to the Superyacht industry at aged 19 when taking his first job as a Deckhand on a 65m charter yacht in Antibes. The seed was sewn! Tim went on to spend the next 10 years working on private and charter yachts in the summers, working his way up to Captain and spending the winter months at Solent University completing a BSc Hons degree in Maritime Studies. Tim came ashore in 1999 and joined Yachting Partners International as a trainee broker. After 5 years there he moved to join the start of what became Ocean independence as Senior broker and Charter Manager and after 9 years joined MYSEA to head up the UK Office.Learn more at MySea.co.Explore ElevatedMagazines.com/podcastListen on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Amazon Music | YouTube | Pandora | iHeart

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.In This Conversation: Why Sober Crew Social Club started Drinking culture within yachting Why “rock bottom” should not be the benchmark The difference between problem drinking and alcohol no longer serving you Blackout drinking, anxiety, and the morning-after fear Why yacht crew face added risks around alcohol and safety How drinking can become a way to cope with stress, loneliness, and pressure Why stopping drinking onboard can feel different from stopping ashore The importance of community, accountability, and honest support Why sobriety can be framed as gaining something, not losing something Guest:Laura KilbeyFounder, Sober Crew Social ClubHost:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht LaundrySearch Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.Superyacht Laundry | Yachting International RadioImportant note:This conversation is for awareness, reflection, and general discussion only.

Carbon fibre is often associated with performance and aesthetics, but in the superyacht industry it also plays a serious role in safety, efficiency, crew handling, and intelligent design.In this episode of Positive Waves Media, host Jana Thomas speaks with Paul Hackett, Founder and Managing Director of C-Quip, about the New Zealand company's work in carbon fibre equipment for the global superyacht sector. C-Quip specialises in lightweight, high-strength solutions including boarding equipment, pilot ladders, swimming ladders, retractable light masts, tender fenders, and custom-engineered yacht products.Paul explains how C-Quip's marine heritage, carbon fibre expertise, aerospace and motorsport crossover, and America's Cup experience have shaped the company's approach to innovation. The conversation also looks at why lighter, stronger equipment matters onboard, not only for owners and guests, but for the crew responsible for deploying, moving, lifting, and managing these systems in real working conditions.Because several products are shown visually during the conversation, the YouTube version is especially useful for seeing the equipment being discussed.Watch the video version here:https://youtu.be/QkLMlbRJuzYPrefer to read?

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 episode: Gemma's life and legacy in the yachting industry Why cervical screening matters, even without symptoms The challenges of accessing routine health checks while working away Why captains and senior crew need to take women's health seriously The work of The Floating Florista Foundation The meaning behind Do It For Gem Why crew health should never be dismissed as optional Guest:Jayn WillisFounder, The Floating Florista FoundationHost:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht LaundrySearch Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.Superyacht Laundry | Yachting International RadioImportant note:This conversation is for awareness and general information only.

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 this episode:  Yacht crew contracts and red flags   Governing law and jurisdiction   Nautilus, union support, and legal backup   NDAs and privacy limits   Onboard reporting versus criminal reporting   Evidence, timing, and documentation   Why crew should ask questions before there is a crisis   How Ocean Legal is making marine law more accessible  Guests Lucy Goff, Ocean Legal Jenny Harris, Ocean LegalHost Cherise Reedman, Superyacht LaundryLearn more about Ocean Legal: https://oceanlegal.co.uk/Prefer to read?

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• Crew dynamic, communication, and leadership at sea• What captains look for in officers and senior crew• Safety culture, regulations, and ongoing learning• Mentoring the next generation of yacht officers• Why problems should come with solutionsLearn more about dsnm Ltd:www.dsnmltd.comPrefer to read?Head to Yachting News on the website:https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.com/yachting-newsHost: Alicia Store, COO of dsnm LtdGuest: Captain Chris Halligan, Captain of a 90-metre superyachtOn The Bridge | Yachting International Radio

Money and power are merging on the high seas. The New Yorker's Evan Osnos exposes how super yachts became the new seat of American oligarchy.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1217What We Discuss with Evan Osnos:Billionaire political donations increased 200x in 20 years ($25M to $3B in 2024), marking America's shift from democracy to oligarchy — where economic and political power fuse.Super yachts are floating power centers — not just status symbols but boardrooms, tax havens, and networking hubs where billion-dollar deals happen beyond public scrutiny and regulation.Each super yacht pollutes like 1,500 cars running continuously, costs 10 percent of its purchase price annually to maintain, and creates toxic work environments for crew in legal gray zones.The ultra-wealthy face insatiable desire — where 50-meter boats become "embarrassing," half-billion-dollar yachts are "quite nice," and satisfaction remains perpetually out of reach.History shows extreme inequality resolves through crisis — war, revolution, or pandemic. But we can prevent these outcomes by making systems less advantageous to the few and more inclusive to all. Support politicians who limit campaign finance influence. Vote with your wallet.
