    What the superyacht industry can learn from Special Forces leadership

    This week on The Big BOAT Interview, online editor Holly Margerrison is joined by Leo Walker, Founder and CEO of Who Dares Group and a former member of the UK’s Special Boat Service. Drawing on his experience in elite military teams, Leo discusses leadership, resilience and decision-making under pressure, and how those principles translate to life on board today’s superyachts. From crew retention and mental resilience to teamwork when things go wrong, the conversation examines what the superyacht industry can learn from Special Forces thinking – and why strong leadership and operational readiness are becoming increasingly critical as yachts grow larger, more complex and more globally mobile.BOATPro: https://boatint.com/38rSubscribe: https://boatint.com/38sContact us: podcast@boatinternationalmedia.com

They chat about the scale and impact of this long-running spectacle, which began rather humbly back in 1959, and run through a few of the standout yachts and must-do happenings for captains. They’ll also share some of their favourite local spots, including a brewery where dropping Erik’s name might just get you in - or possibly kicked out.BOAT Pro: https://boatint.com/25zSubscribe: https://boatint.com/260Contact us: podcast@boatinternationalmedia.com
