All Safe Yachting began with the idea of a global panic button for crew, created in the wake of real tragedy and designed as a prevention tool as much as an emergency response system. Devlin explains how the platform works, including app-based panic alerts, wearable Bluetooth buttons, man-down detection, confidential reporting, wellbeing support, hours of rest tracking, and management dashboards. This conversation looks at the realities crew face on board and ashore: isolation, fear of reporting, lack of evidence, altered hours of rest, mental health pressure, and the need for systems that protect crew before a situation becomes critical. For crew, captains, owners, managers, and families, this is a practical conversation about safety, prevention, accountability, and giving people at sea another layer of protection when it matters most…
