YachtTalk Episode 7: Life on board


The perfect superyacht is nothing without a great crew. But what does it take to create the ultimate service experience for the owner and guests? In episode seven of YachtTalk we look into trends in training and recruiting a quality crew. We discover how diversity is key to a more effective crew, as well as other golden rules for a crew to run like clockwork and deal with conflict effectively. And, of course, we have a sneak peek behind the scenes to see what really goes on below deck!
