    CrewPass, Crew Vetting & AI in Yachting with Conrad Empson | On The Bridge

    How well does the superyacht industry really know the people it brings onboard? In this episode of On The Bridge, Alicia Store, Chief Operating Officer at dsnm Ltd, speaks with Conrad Empson, Founder and Managing Director of CrewPass, about crew vetting, background checks, onboard safety, entrepreneurship, and the growing role of AI in yachting. Conrad started in yachting as crew, working his way from deckhand to bosun before moving ashore. His experience onboard helped shape the idea behind CrewPass, a platform built to make crew background checks easier, more secure, and more useful for crew, recruiters, captains, management companies, and employers. This conversation looks at a question the industry can no longer afford to ignore: how can crew be welcomed onboard some of the world’s most valuable private assets, working close to owners, families, guests, and other crew, without proper checks in place? Conrad explains how CrewPass was built from a safety perspective, why a crew-held credential made more sense than relying only on employers to request checks, and how the platform creates a more practical ecosystem for background screening across a global crew market. Alicia and Conrad also discuss the realities of building a company, from validating the idea with recruiters to the expensive lessons learned from trying to make background checks affordable for crew through a payment plan. The conversation then turns to AI in yachting, including how CrewPass is using technology to understand digital footprints, how AI is beginning to change recruitment and software development, and why tools such as Cursor are dramatically reducing the time and cost required to build new digital products. At the centre of the discussion is a simple but important point: Professional yachting cannot keep relying on attitude, references, and luck when it comes to knowing who is stepping onboard. Topics include: • Conrad Empson’s route from yacht crew to founder• Why CrewPass was created• Crew vetting and background checks in yachting• The safety risks around hiring crew without proper checks• Why crew-held credentials can support recruiters and employers• How CrewPass makes background checks easier to share securely• Why global crew checks are more complex than standard background screening• Building and funding a yachting technology company• The challenge of making background checks affordable for crew• AI in the superyacht industry• Digital footprint checks and crew profiles• How AI tools are changing software development• What AI could mean for crew with ideas, side projects, and future businesses Learn more about CrewPass:www.crewpass.co.ukLearn 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: Conrad Empson, Founder and Managing Director of CrewPass On The Bridge | dsnm Ltd | Yachting International Radio Search Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.

    Antigua’s Secret Yacht Escape: Hermitage Bay | Rachel Browne | Yachting Unplugged

    If Antigua is on your next yacht itinerary, Hermitage Bay may be the stop you have been overlooking. Set on a calm, protected bay on Antigua’s west coast, this intimate five-star resort allows yacht owners, charter guests and crew to anchor offshore, tender directly onto the beach and move seamlessly from life onboard to a private escape ashore. As Kim Sweers puts it, you can arrive in the bay and be eating lobster on the sand just 30 minutes later. Kim Sweers, also known as The Boat Boss, sits down with Rachel Browne, General Manager of Hermitage Bay, to explore how this Two MICHELIN Key resort can become part of a Caribbean yacht itinerary. They discuss arrivals by yacht, fly-in guests joining their vessel directly from the resort, pre- and post-charter stays, birthdays and private celebrations, crew downtime, wellness experiences, personalised dining and fishing excursions where the day’s catch can be prepared by the resort’s culinary team. Rachel also explains the hospitality culture behind Hermitage Bay’s recognition on Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot List, Gold List and Readers’ Choice Awards. At Hermitage Bay, luxury is not about excess. It is about privacy, authenticity, exceptional service and the feeling created by a team that genuinely cares. Kim closes with two major announcements. CITY HOME is the new home of Yachting Unplugged in Fort Lauderdale, and she shares news connected to Bravo’s Below Deck and the 65th Antigua Charter Yacht Show, taking place from December 4 to 9, 2026.

    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?

    Save Time, Protect More, Perform Longer | Yacht Maintenance Unhinged

    What if better yacht maintenance could give valuable time back to the crew? On board motor yacht Unbridled in Alaska, Tyler Wilson, Founder and President of Velluto Products, joins Captain Liam Devlin and Eleisha Mealing after polishing and ceramic coating one of the vessel’s hardest-working areas: the transom and swim platform. Captain Liam explains how the crew can spend two to three hours every day washing and detailing that space, and why effective surface protection is about far more than shine. It can reduce repetitive labour, protect the finish and create more time for crew training, guest interaction and the work that genuinely requires skilled hands. They discuss correct surface preparation, professional application, hands-on training and the risks of handing unfamiliar products to crew and expecting them to figure it out. Presented by Velluto Products, high-performance ceramic marine care for yachts, tenders and personal watercraft. https://www.vellutoproducts.com/🎙️ Yacht Maintenance Unhinged | Yachting International Radio Search Yachting Channel on your favourite podcast platform for more conversations from across the global yachting industry.

    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.
