    Yacht Crew Life, Superyacht Deck Careers & Leading From The Deck | Captain’s Chat

    Yacht crew life is often seen from the outside as travel, sunshine, and beautiful destinations. But behind the scenes, building a career in the superyacht industry takes discipline, adaptability, resilience, and the ability to stay grounded while living and working at sea. In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin sits down with Eleisha Mealing, better known on Instagram as @EleishaOnDeck, for an honest conversation about yacht crew life, deck progression, social media, mental reset, and what it really means to lead from the deck. Eleisha shares her journey from growing up on a sugarcane farm in Cairns to coaching athletics, working ski seasons, travelling through Japan and Canada, working behind the scenes on Below Deck: Down Under, and eventually finding her way into the superyacht industry. The conversation explores how she moved into deck work, why she loves driving tenders, what she is learning through bridge work, and how she uses Instagram to show people what yachting is really like from the crew perspective. Captain Liam and Eleisha also discuss the reality of close quarters onboard, the importance of early mornings, meditation, movement, time alone, authenticity, online judgement, yacht crew party culture, and the professional choices that can shape a long-term career at sea. This is a grounded and energetic conversation about the next generation of yacht crew, the value of staying yourself in a demanding industry, and why yachting is about far more than the destinations.

    From Cadet to Crew: UKSA, Dockwalking & Building a Yacht Career | The Crew Car

    Yacht crew careers do not begin with glamour. They begin with training, resilience, humility, and the willingness to learn from the ground up. In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey speaks with Charlie Streeten, a recent UKSA cadetship graduate, about what it really looks like to take the first steps into the yachting industry.

The conversation covers the practical side of starting out, from learning to live and work closely with others, to navigating recruitment agencies, avoiding scams, considering dockwalking and day work, and staying resilient while searching for that first role. For young crew looking at yachting as a serious career, Charlie’s story offers a grounded look at what the industry demands, what training can provide, and why attitude matters as much as qualifications. In this episode: • Charlie Streeten’s route from school to yachting • How boatyard experience helped shape his direction • Why the UKSA cadetship became the right pathway • What cadets learn during the programme • Life onboard as part of a crew • Deck skills, ropework, splicing, and seamanship • Engineering pathways for young yacht crew • Job hunting, recruitment agencies, dockwalking, and day work • Avoiding scams and false opportunities • Why resilience matters when building a yacht career Connect & Learn More:UKSA https://uksa.orgYacht Workers Council https://yachtworkerscouncil.comPrefer to read?

    Yacht Crew Rights: NDAs, Crime Reporting and Legal Protection | Forward Watch

    Can an NDA stop yacht crew from reporting crime, abuse, harassment, unsafe working conditions, or wrongdoing onboard? In this episode of Forward Watch, host Karine Rayson speaks with Benjamin Maltby of Keystone Law about one of the most misunderstood legal issues in the superyacht industry: NDAs and crew rights. NDAs have a legitimate purpose. They can protect owner privacy, itineraries, commercial information, security details, and family confidentiality. But they cannot be used to prevent the reporting of criminal conduct. This conversation examines the line between protecting privacy and covering up wrongdoing, from social media breaches, drug use onboard, assault, hush money, unfair dismissal, and lifetime confidentiality clauses, to injuries, overwork, death onboard, and the complex question of which law applies when flag state, port state, and crew nationality overlap. Benjamin is clear that he speaks from the perspective of English law and that this discussion does not constitute legal advice. But for crew, captains, managers, owners, and DPAs, the wider message is vital: legal documents should be understood, not feared, and confidentiality must never become a shield for unsafe practice, abuse, or silence. Because protecting privacy matters. Protecting people matters more. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • What NDAs are actually designed to protect in yachting • Whether an NDA can stop crew from reporting crime or abuse • What happens when crew breach confidentiality rules • Why social media can create privacy and security risks • How criminal conduct should be reported onboard • Why retaliation after reporting may lead to unfair dismissal claims • What lifetime confidentiality really means • When hush money can become legally dangerous • Which law may apply at sea • Why union support and early advice matter before something goes wrong Prefer to read?

    The Wake-Up Call: Radical Self-Care & Burnout Recovery | Self Care

    What happens when your body forces you to stop and listen? In this episode of Self Care, Geraldine Hardy shares one of her most vulnerable reflections yet, opening up about the health scare that became a turning point in her life. After discovering a tennis ball-sized tumor in her breast, Geraldine was forced to confront more than a physical diagnosis. Although the tumor was benign, the experience became a wake-up call that pushed her to examine burnout, emotional disconnection, people-pleasing, trauma, old habits, and the version of herself that could no longer survive by performing strength on the outside while suffering quietly within. Geraldine explores what radical self-care really means when surface-level change is no longer enough. This is not about doing more yoga, eating cleaner, or pretending wellness is a quick fix. It is about changing from within. She reflects on stepping away from energy-draining people, rebuilding her self-care routine, working with meditation and trauma alchemy, supporting the nervous system, and learning to stop seeking external validation during transformation. This is a raw and grounded episode about listening when the body speaks, facing what has been buried, and choosing healing before life has to get louder. Topics include:• Radical self-care beyond surface wellness • Burnout, trauma, and emotional disconnection • Health scares as turning points • Nervous system healing and inner work • Letting go of energy-draining people • Rebuilding discipline, boundaries, and self-trust • Facing grief, anger, fear, and emotional residue Geraldine’s message is clear: When your body gives you a warning, listen before life has to get louder. 🌿 Explore Geraldine’s Self-Care Programs & Order Her Book https://geraldinehardy.com📲 Instagram: @_geraldinehardy | @_alignwithin 🎙️ Self Care | Yachting International Radio

    Legal Protection After Accidents at Sea | UNCENSORED Part 3

    In Part 3 of this three-part UNCENSORED legal series, host Marién Sarriera is joined again by maritime lawyer and former seafarer Adria Notari for a practical conversation about legal protection after accidents, deaths, suicide, serious injuries, and unsafe situations at sea. This final episode focuses on when crew members or families should contact a lawyer, why early legal advice matters, and how to choose the right maritime attorney. Adria explains why flag state is not always the final answer, how flags of convenience can complicate legal claims, and why crew should understand the role of SEA agreements, owners, employers, and insurance companies. The conversation also covers legal deadlines, disclosure traps, cumulative trauma, repetitive injuries, reporting unsafe working conditions, and the damaging myth that nothing can be done once something goes wrong. For yacht crew, seafarers, families, and anyone working in the maritime industry, this episode is about understanding your rights before you need them.
