Visualise the Mediterranean, a cerulean world teeming with activity, its waters kissed by the bow of thousands of superyachts. Picture a majestic arc stretching from Gocek in Turkey through the vibrant heart of Sardinia, and finally culminating at the gateway to the Atlantic, Gibraltar. This is the landscape of the primary cruising grounds, spanning a robust 2,000 nautical miles, a vibrant marine playground that perennially beckons a convergence of super yachts and high-end sailors.
The maritime world is set for a shot in the arm as Leah Werner steps up to the plate as the new executive director of the Water Revolution Foundation, effective from 1st January 2026. The foundation, a non-profit organisation squarely centered on fostering sustainable evolution within the superyacht industry, has given a nod to Werner’s 13-year-old leadership history brimming with environmental science expertise, policy implementation, and a brilliant understanding of biological oceanography.
It’s clear that Werner’s robust ability to bridge the gap between complex scientific concepts and non-technical audiences will be harnessed to its maximum potential. Industry decision-makers and stakeholders alike stand to benefit from her unique ability to translate and repackage complex ideas into palatable directives, a skill that will be quintessential to the foundation’s mission. Certainly, her appointment is expected to prompt fresh opportunities for the foundation’s programme, sparking a trajectory of growth in reach and impact.
