Meet Kiwi Dan. 1st Officer. Tito El Patron.
We started in this industry around the same time, back when neither of us had a clue. Now we’re comparing notes on experienced crew gaps, rotation trends, and what it actually takes to make it long-term.
He’s seen fires, crashes, a guest through a golf cart windscreen and come out the other side with one piece of advice:
“Have fun. But be serious when it’s time to be serious.
That’s the job.” -

Old uniforms. New purpose. ♻️⚓️

At Liquid Yacht Wear, sustainability meets the superyacht industry through a recycling program designed to keep used yacht uniforms out of landfills and give materials a second life. 🌎✨

How it works:
1️⃣ Collect your old yacht uniforms
2️⃣ Send them in for recycling at our Fort Lauderdale location
3️⃣ Help reduce waste and support a more sustainable future for the industry

Small actions onboard can create a lasting impact beyond the dock.

Send us a DM to learn more ♻️

The 2026 F1 season is already rewriting the script and Kimi Antonelli now sits at the top after a dominant Miami Grand Prix victory 🏎️
Huge thanks to for hosting us at the Turn 5 Loft. Great energy, great people, and even better conversations with captains and industry leaders 💫

From deckhand to captain, Captain Grace’s journey is a reminder that growth in this industry doesn’t happen alone.

Speaking with us at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, she shared how important it is to surround yourself with people who push you, support you, and want to see you succeed.

In her words, every day is a school day on the water. And being honest with yourself is often the first step in finding where you truly belong.

What’s the best advice a mentor or captain has ever given you?
Let us know below.

P.S

Grace and I first met at the Anchored Crew house in 2017, when she was just starting her career. As a young, enthusiastic deckhand, she was ready to take on the challenges ahead and never strayed from her path. Fast-forward 9 years, and she is welcoming me aboard her first drive, and I couldn’t be prouder of her 💫

Meet MAVERICK. AKA THE TOP GUN YACHT
Flexplorer = Flexible + Explorer

I got a private tour of Motor Yacht Maverick at the Palm Beach Boat Show the other day with the legendary Captain Guy Perkins and I need to talk about this boat.
She’s a Flexplorer 146 built by Cantiere delle Marche, and the word Flexplorer isn’t just a cool name. It’s an entirely new category of yacht they invented and once you understand it, you can’t unsee it.

Most explorer yachts do one thing well. They either go far, or they live luxuriously. The Flexplorer does both and the secret is in how the boat physically transforms.

That massive aft deck?
It can carry a 30-foot tender, jet skis, even a submarine all handled by a hydraulic A-frame crane that literally disappears into the teak flooring when not in use. Then once the toys hit the water, that same deck becomes a full beach club with a pool, sunbeds, and the ocean at your feet.The side bulwarks fold completely flat, flush with the teak opening the deck up and putting you in direct contact with the sea around you. These are just a few of the amazing feats CDM brought to life. Mavericks master cabin also features unexpected custom amenities, including a discreet laundry machine and a pantry with a stovetop… Something I have never seen before on any yacht and shows that the owners appreciate the capability of being self sufficient.

And underneath all that luxury? Bluewater expedition DNA. Long-range hull. Fuel-efficient naval architecture built to go anywhere on earth.
Maverick proved it: 33,000 miles. 28 countries. 18 months.
This is what happens when a shipyard decides to redefine what explorer yachting can be.
Multiple award winner including the World Superyacht Awards 2025 and Robb Report 2025.
She’s something else. 🌍⚓

I must say it felt like I was stepping onto a 60m German build and I was amazed by the space, the unique one of a kind features and its capacity to flexplore 🗺️

To sum up my experience onboard,
Maverick doesn’t follow the rules, it rewrites them. ⚓️
Arguably the most impressive 44 m yacht I have ever seen.

Fort Lauderdale always brings the right people together.

Triton Expo at the Superyacht Village was a reminder of that.

Vendors.
Suppliers.
Captains.
Crew.
Industry familiar faces.
And the kind of conversations that keep this world moving forward together.

There’s something special about spaces like this…
You come for the event,
but you leave remembering the people.

The quick catch-ups.
The unexpected conversations.
The shared ideas.
The energy of an industry that never stands still.

And beyond the stands, the setups, and the business being done…
that’s what always stands out most.

The connection.

Good people.
Good conversations.
A great atmosphere.
And a lot of fun along the way.

That’s what made Triton Expo such a good one.

Who did you enjoy seeing at the event?

Smiles for days 😀

The Palm Beach International Boat Show once again marked more than just a showcase of incredible yachts it signaled a shift.

As the docks clear and the energy settles, the season turns.

Now, the fleet begins to move.
Crossing the Atlantic to the Mediterranean.
Heading north for the summer circuits.
Or pushing further toward the edges of the map, where few yachts dare to go.

New waters. New stories. New opportunities.

The question is where will you explore next?

P.S
Don’t forget to smile 🙂
