In an extensive sector-wide survey, the myriad challenges faced by the yachting workforce have been rolled into focus. The study sought to establish a baseline for safety culture and mental health within the industry. With over 75% of respondents belonging to yacht crew and nearly 80% navigating yachts of 500gt or more, the survey offers a robust look at the operational landscape.

This pool of experienced respondents indicates an in-depth understanding of the industry’s depths, both the successes and the challenges. And challenges, it would seem, are not in short supply.
