🚀 Crew wellness isn’t a perk anymore — it’s performance.
Captain Liam Devlin sits down with Glen Taylor, Co-Founder of SuperYacht Fitness, to break down why fitness, recovery, movement, and mindset are now critical to crew performance, retention, and the owner experience.
This is a real conversation about life onboard: why most yacht gyms fail, how elite sport thinking applies to yachting, and why creating physical and mental space for crew changes everything.

🚨 TUESDAY CHECK-IN RECAP 🚨
Todays conversation was one of the most powerful we’ve ever had.
We dove deep into alcohol & drug abuse in yachting the reality, the pressure behind it, and the change this industry is ready for.
We unpacked our 5 pillars:
⚠️ Why substance abuse is rising
⚠️ Burnout, pressure & loneliness at sea
⚠️ How to support crew before crisis
⚠️ What a safe, strong, sober culture looks like
⚠️ Real stories, real tools, real change
But the real magic was the people in the room.
Meeting Laura from @sober_crew_social was inspiring her courage and commitment to sober connection in yachting is unmatched.
And Captain Scott Kidd brought raw, real insight into what it means to show up, be present, and choose the kind of habits that build you and not break you.
This wasn’t about judgment.
This wasn’t about shame.
This was about awareness, empowerment, support, and leading with compassion.
Sobriety isn’t just a lifestyle it’s a fuller life.
It’s clarity.
It’s growth.
It’s choosing the crew you want to be, and the leader you want to become.
At the end of the day…
Help the crew around you. Check in on each other. Lead with love. Lead with empathy. Lead with strength.
Together we’re changing this industry one conversation at a time. 💙

Our recent FAM trip at @costapalmas was one for the books, and the full recap is live!
We welcomed a curated group of captains and heads of department to Costa Palmas, a 1,500-acre private community on the East Cape of Baja, Mexico, home to a world-class, superyacht-ready marina. During their stay, they were hosted at Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palmas, experiencing the seamless connection between the marina, the community, and life ashore.
The program offered an immersive look at a marina purpose-built for superyachts, designed to elevate every moment, both on board and beyond the dock.
Sportfishing at sunrise. Diving and exploring Cabo Pulmo by boat. Sunset cruising along the Sea of Cortez. Farm-to-table dinners under the stars. Seamless service at every turn.
The captains left with a clear takeaway: Costa Palmas isn’t just a stop along the Baja coast; it’s a destination built entirely around the yachting lifestyle.
The captains came away convinced.
➡️ See the link in our bio to watch the full recap video!
Yachting can be incredibly competitive.
Brokerages.
Charters.
Client relationships.
A lot of it is commission-driven.
And when deals determine income…
People naturally protect their networks.
But one thing keeps proving true:
Collaboration creates opportunity.
The more people connect, communicate, and work together…
The more growth happens for everyone.
Especially in charter and networking environments.
Competition will always exist.
But collaboration scales faster.

How many hats do we wear?
Captain.
Broker.
Engineer.
Business owner.
Every role comes with an image.
And sometimes… ego comes with the image too.
One of the biggest questions:
Do we change ourselves to fit the role?
Or can we stay authentic while still playing the game professionally?
Luxury industries especially create expectations around image and behavior.
But authenticity still matters.
You can understand the game…
without losing yourself in it.
