Have you ever wondered how yacht crew stay in physical and mental shape while cruising the world's oceans for months at a time, away from family and friends?

It champions a holistic approach to crew wellbeing. From cutting edge technologies to tailored wellness programs, discover how this initiative is transforming the superyacht experience, ensuring that crew wellness is not just an afterthought, but a cornerstone of life at sea.
Superyacht owners, management companies, Captains, and HODs have the pivotal responsibility to prioritise crew wellbeing and mental health, but the superyacht industry now finds itself on the verge of a mental health crisis.
In the last few years it’s become clear that maintaining crew wellbeing is paramount, yet not enough is being done by those in charge. In comparison to the vast operational costs of a superyacht, investment in support services for crew and training emerges as a very affordable yet transformative solution.
