We love fan mail: text us with your feedback and ideasYacht marketing is undergoing a revolution, and Moby Maritime Media founder Oriana Schneps is leading the charge. Known for viral moments like NBA star Dwight Howard's yacht-to-yacht three-point shot, her agency is redefining how luxury vessels connect with potential buyers and charterers.Drawing from her background working with marketing guru Gary Vaynerchuk and her own yachting experience as a crewmember and on the TV show Below Deck Adventure, Schneps brings a fresh perspective to maritime promotion. Her journey began at the New England Aquarium, where as a high schooler she cared for penguins and joined research expeditions that sparked her passion for life at sea. This unique blend of promotion know-how, hospitality skills, and maritime knowledge eventually led her to create Moby Maritime Meda. In brief, it takes a marketing approach that transcends traditional yacht promotion.In fact, the core of Schneps' philosophy is treating yachts not as depreciating assets but as brands with inherent value. Rather than producing generic walkthrough videos focusing on salon layouts and stateroom configurations, she creates content showcasing experiences and destinations. When potential charterers can visualize a yacht's divemaster exploring underwater caves or see a chef creating culinary masterpieces, they remember those moments far more than standard features. Schneps also highlights the value of strategic brand partnerships with luxury products, restaurants, and lifestyle companies - creating mutually beneficial relationships that can generate additional revenue streams for owners. Whether you're considering selling your yacht, upgrading to a larger vessel, or attracting charter clients, her insights demonstrate how thoughtful marketing creates lasting legacy and memorable experiences that define what yachting is truly about.

We love fan mail: text us with your feedback and ideasSeventy-five years of family business excellence is a milestone worth celebrating, especially in the ever-evolving marine industry. Kristy Hebert, President and CEO of Ward's Marine Electric, joins us to share the remarkable journey from her grandfather's garage-based operation to a marine electric powerhouse serving the world's finest yachts.The story begins with a post-WWII veteran who loved boating and found a way to merge his passion with his generator expertise. What started as a small operation using his personal aircraft to deliver parts to boats in the Bahamas evolved into a cornerstone business that helped shape Fort Lauderdale's development as a global yachting center. Kristy reveals how her family played a pivotal role in the 1961 initiative to bring electric power to local marinas – a seemingly small change that transformed the region by encouraging vessels to remain docked and seek maintenance locally.Kristy's own path into the family business wasn't predetermined. Initially helping with a catalog while applying to law school, she discovered an unexpected passion for the industry. Her leadership philosophy balances honoring their rich heritage while embracing innovation, as reflected in their podcast initiative and her tagline, "We're 75 and we're just getting started." The company's unique workforce structure – with half their team serving 30+ years and half under five years – creates a powerful blend of expertise and fresh perspectives.Beyond their business success, Ward's  Marine Electric has become a powerful advocate for the marine industry. Kristy shares valuable insights on effective legislative engagement, explaining how focusing on economic impact rather than political differences has helped secure bipartisan support for initiatives benefiting marine businesses and their employees. When asked to distill what yacht owners ultimately seek, her answer is simple yet profound: "Freedom" – to explore, escape pressures, and create exceptional experiences with loved ones. Ready to learn more?

Das Endgame der Milliardäre: Wer hat denn nun die schönste und teuerste Yacht auf der Welt? 100 Meter Länge? Sind längst nicht mehr genug. Es geht um viel mehr auf dem Meer. Es scheint tief auf der DNA vieler Founder, Unternehmer und Stars verankert zu sein: dass wahre Größe irgendwann eben auch wahrer Größe bedarf. Und nirgends wird die präziser gemessen als beim Schiffskauf, wo jeder Meter den Unterschied macht zwischen Superyacht, Mega-Yacht oder Giga-Yacht. Der absolute Gigant der Meere: Jeff Bezos. Der berühmteste Paketbote des Planeten cruist gerade mit der größten Segelyacht der Welt durch die Gegend. 127 Meter lang. 500 Millionen Dollar teuer. Für Hubschrauber und Wasserspielzeuge hat er noch ein Schattenschiff dabei. Eine 75 Meter Begleityacht. Kosten: weitere 75 Millionen Dollar. Mark Zuckerberg kann da nur hinterher schippern: Seine Superyacht, die er sich selbst zum 40. Geburtstag geschenkt hat, ist gerade mal 118 Meter lang. Wert: 300 Millionen Dollar. Gerade hat auch Formel-1-Weltmeister Max Verstappen den Motor hochgefahren und sich eine neue Yacht gekauft – für beinahe bescheidene 12 Millionen Euro. Aber was ist diese Faszination? Warum investieren immer mehr Menschen immer mehr in Boote. Was sind die neusten Trends und der geheime Lifestyle dahinter? Und wie funktioniert das ganze Level beyond Luxury überhaupt? Er weiß es: Martin Hager, seit über 20 Jahren ein sicherer Hafen in diesem Business. Er ist Chefredakteur von Boote Exclusiv, dem führenden Superyacht Medium in der DACH-Region und von Yacht, Europas größtem Segelmagazin. In Hamburg hat er zur German Superyacht Conference geladen, das wichtigste Branchentreffen für Investoren, Designer, Industrie- und Yacht-Liebhaber. Gleich danach haben wir uns zum Podcasten getroffen. Die Zukunft der Superyachten, warum das Business so boomt und warum es Menschen gibt, die sogar jahrelang auf dem Meer leben – jetzt hier in TOMorrow!

We go to the Netherlands, where building and maintaining the most expensive yachts in the world is big business.
