Positive crew relationships are key to coping with life onboard, and a cooperative, closely-connected and caring crew certainly makes all the difference when it comes to charter guest experience and owner enjoyment.
With each social interaction you have as you go about your day, ask yourself ‘what have I done to make that person’s day better?’
Establishing more positive and effective working relationships all starts with a smile.

We’ve been saying it for years….boating is good for you!
Whether yachting is a passion, a hobby or even a job, the positive ways in which it can influence your life, health and wellbeing are ten-fold. Yachting and being on or near the water perpetuates a sense of calm and happiness, and it’s backed up by the science: cortisol levels are reduced, serotonin is increased and the result is total relaxation.

Today is World Oceans Day: Get Involved!

This year, World Oceans Day is growing the global movement that calls on world leaders to have protected 30% of our seas by 2030. By safeguarding at least 30% of our ocean through a network of highly protected areas, we can help ensure a healthy planet for all!
We, together with Mission Blue, have shared some actions which you can take *today* that will make a big difference to our future and our planet’s environmental wellbeing.
1. Use less plastic, period. Plastic – bottles, fishing nets and line, and so much more make up about 90% of ocean debris. Do your part and either find alternatives, such as glass or cardboard food containers or make sure that your plastic items are properly recycled.
2. Make sure the yacht you own or charter follows Sustainable Boating Practices (find here best practices for Eco-Friendly yachting >https://bit.ly/2MBxKTc ). Learn more about the practices and the actions you can take by getting in touch with our Yacht Management Team.
3. Eat more organic and/or vegetarian foods. Your choice of cuisine impacts the ocean far beyond whether or not you eat fish. Fertilizer runoff from industrial farms causes large ‘dead zones’ in the ocean. By choosing an organic or plant-friendly diet, you can reduce the pollution flowing into the sea.

But most importantly: go to out on the water! Share the wonder of the ocean with friends and family, and inspire them to both restore and protect it. As Sylvia Earle so perfectly put it: “Think about our planet without the ocean; you’ve got a planet that’s a lot like Mars. No Ocean, no Life. No Life, no Us.”

And remember, not everybody can do everything but everyone can do something.

Easter Island is found in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Chile.
The island is wild and volcanic, and famous for its archaeological sites, which include the 900 Easter Island Moai (also known as the Easter Island Heads), that were carved by inhabitants between the 13th and 16th centuries.
Much has been done to preserve Easter Island’s natural and cultural lustre, and in 1995 UNESCO awarded the National Park, which covers over 40% of the island, World Heritage Site status. Horseback riding and hiking are an obvious option in the National Park, but for something more unusual, head for the water and explore the Lava caves on a scuba dive.
Easter Island is perfect for adventurers and inspires imaginations of all ages. https://bit.ly/2XUio1e
