    Yacht Ownership, Family Offices and Luxury Assets | Yachting Confidential

    There are places the world knows, and then there are places only a few will ever experience. In this episode of Yachting Confidential, Sabrina van Maltha sits down with Nick Walker, Director at Imperium Group, for a high-level conversation on where yachting sits within the wider world of wealth, family offices, luxury assets and long-term legacy. For ultra-high-net-worth families, yacht ownership is rarely just a purchase. It can involve privacy, structuring, succession planning, financing, tax considerations, operational costs, trusted advisors, family decision-making and a clear understanding of how the yacht will actually be used. Nick brings together financial services experience, private client expertise and genuine time on the water. He and Sabrina discuss why yachts are best understood as passion assets, why the right advisory team matters long before a purchase is made, and why chartering first may be the smarter path for some prospective owners. Presented by International Yacht Register Luxury yacht charter, ownership and advisory services for clients seeking trusted guidance, exceptional yachts and access to the global yachting lifestyle. https://iyr.net/Guest: Nick Walker Director, Imperium Group https://www.imperiumfs.com/Host: Sabrina van Maltha Head of Charter, International Yacht Register https://iyr.net/Prefer to read?

    Logged or Lost? Sea Time, AIS Tracking & Yacht Crew Careers | Jack Haworth | The Crew Car

    Recording sea time should be one of the simplest parts of a maritime career. Instead, crew are still relying on paper records, spreadsheets and memories to prove where they have worked and whether they have the sea time required for their next qualification. In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, sits down with Jack Haworth, Co-Founder of Digital Sea Service, to look at how technology could finally bring sea-service records into the modern maritime industry. Jack explains how Digital Sea Service grew from his own experience at Warsash, where people discovered that mistakes in calculating their sea time could prevent them from progressing with their qualifications. James and Jack discuss using AIS data to automatically record vessel activity, digital signatures and stamps, generating testimonials from existing records, and creating a career history that stays with crew as they move between vessels. They also tackle the more uncomfortable side of digitisation. Better records mean greater transparency, and greater transparency can expose sea-time claims that simply do not add up. If professional qualifications require genuine experience at sea, should the industry be doing more to ensure that experience can actually be verified? The conversation also looks at the wider problem of career progression in yachting, where crew are often expected to navigate certification, sea service, testimonials and training without the professional infrastructure that exists in other maritime sectors. Digital tools will not solve every problem facing yacht crew, but making it easier to accurately record and prove a maritime career is a very good place to start. 🌐 Jack Haworth | Co-Founder, Digital Sea Service https://www.digitalseaservice.com/🌐 Yacht Workers Council https://yachtworkerscouncil.com/Prefer to read?

    Burn & Crash Cycle: When Yacht Crew Are Running On Adrenaline | The Wellbeing Project

    How many times have you told yourself you are just tired? In this episode of The Wellbeing Project, host Karine Rayson of The Crew Coach speaks with Alice Lloyd of Lloyd Yacht Management in Sydney about chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and the burn and crash cycle that so many high performers miss until their body forces them to stop. Alice was a midwife before entering the yachting industry, and for 20 years she lived with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia while being told there was nothing that could be done. Her story is deeply personal, but the message is highly relevant to yacht crew, captains, HODs, managers, business owners, and anyone running on adrenaline while calling it capability. This conversation explores why stress is physiological before it is mental, what happens when the nervous system never gets to stand down, and why exhaustion, skipped meals, poor sleep, brain fog, irritability, and emotional shutdown should not be dismissed as normal. Karine and Alice also discuss the early signs that someone onboard may not be coping, the importance of rest and regulation, and why high performance cannot be built on constant adrenaline without eventually paying a price.

    Weathering Change at Sea with Lt Cdr Fran Crowsley-Allen | Women in Maritime

    At sea, weather is not background. It shapes safety, aviation, command decisions, operational risk and the ability to work effectively in some of the most demanding conditions on the water. In this episode of Women in Maritime, Julia Gosling speaks with Lt Cdr Fran Crowsley-Allen, Royal Navy Meteorologist, instructor, mother of two and co-chair of the Naval Service Women’s Network. Fran originally trained to drive ships before specialising in meteorology and oceanography, where environmental information becomes part of tactical decision-making. Her career has taken her across the world, including work connected to the search for MH370, operations in severe sea states, and now teaching tactical meteorology and oceanography to the next generation. This conversation looks at the role of weather in naval safety, the importance of communicating uncertainty with confidence, and what it means to support command decisions at sea. Fran also speaks about life as a woman at sea, being one of very few women onboard, dual-serving parent life, retention, flexible careers, menopause policy and why the lived experience of women in maritime matters as much as the statistics. A thoughtful and important conversation about service, science, judgement, motherhood, culture and the future of women at sea.

    Why Superyacht Builds Need Operational Experience | Occam Marine | On The Bridge

    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 Ltd Occam Marine: https://www.occam.uk.com/dsnm Ltd: https://www.dsnmltd.com/Prefer to read?

    South African Yacht Crew Tax: SARS and Seafarer Exemptions | Rich AF

    South African yacht crew often hear one simple statement: yachties do not pay tax. But earning money overseas does not automatically remove the obligation to declare that income, submit tax returns, or prove that an exemption applies. In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar speaks with Jamie Hadley-Grave CA(SA), Founder of Hadley-Grave Accounting & Tax, about the South African tax rules affecting yacht crew working around the world. Jamie explains how SARS determines tax residency and why many South Africans working at sea may remain liable to declare their worldwide income. He breaks down the difference between the foreign employment income exemption and the seafarer exemption, including the different qualifying periods and day requirements attached to each. The conversation also looks at what makes a vessel commercially qualifying, why commercial registration alone may not be sufficient, and how private use, charter activity, salary, bonuses, and crew tips can affect an individual’s tax position. For crew relying on an exemption, documentation is critical. Jamie explains why passport stamps, signed employment contracts, payslips, bank statements, seaman’s discharge books, charter certificates, and proof of commercial activity may be needed when dealing with SARS. They also discuss what can happen when yacht crew have not submitted returns for several years, including administrative penalties, provisional tax, underpayment penalties, and interest. The message is not to panic or continue avoiding the problem. It is to understand which rules apply, gather the right evidence, and address the situation before SARS comes looking. In this episode: • How SARS determines South African tax residency• Worldwide income and the obligations of South African tax residents• The foreign employment income exemption• The seafarer exemption• The 183-day and 60-day requirements• Private, commercial, and charter yacht operations• How salary, bonuses, and yacht crew tips are treated• The evidence crew may need to provide to SARS• Late tax returns, administrative penalties, and provisional tax• Why crew should become compliant sooner rather than later Guest: Jamie Hadley-Grave CA(SA)Founder, Hadley-Grave Accounting & Taxhttps://hadleygraveaccountingtax.co.za/Instagram: @jamiehadleygrave Host: Charl MinnaarThe Yachting Investor Prefer to read?
