    Superyacht Owner Exposure and Independent Representation | Forward Watch

    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?

    Crew First: Marina Genova, Schengen Rules & Yacht Crew | The Crew Car

    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. 🌐 Giusy Murolo | Sales Manager, Marina Genova https://www.marinagenova.it🌐 Yacht Workers Council https://yachtworkerscouncil.com📺 Prefer to read?

    Instant Yacht Charter Booking, Live Pricing & IDOSY | Captain’s Chat

    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, Human Factors & Life Offshore | Sea Views

    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.

    Substance Awareness, Spiking & Crew Safety With Stacey Miller | Superyacht Laundry

    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 Miller Host:Cherise ReedmanSuperyacht Laundry Prefer to read?
