About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of yacht crew safety and the systems needed to protect crew members both onboard and ashore.

Yacht crew safety cannot depend on silence, luck, or hoping someone speaks up before something goes wrong. In this episode of The Crew Car , Captain James Battey, Founder of the Yacht Workers Council, speaks with Devlin Cathey, Founder of All Safe Yachting , about practical systems designed to help protect yacht crew onboard and ashore. After years in the industry as a yacht chef, Devlin saw the pressure, isolation, fatigue, and hidden realities that many crew face behind the scenes. Following the loss of Paige Bell, he created All Safe Yachting to support stronger crew safety infrastructure, including panic button technology, anonymous reporting, mental health support, and better oversight for captains and management. This conversation looks at prevention, accountability, reporting, crew welfare, and why serious concerns need systems that cannot simply disappear when they become uncomfortable. Yachting is being forced to grow up. Crew safety, reporting, mental health, transparency, and accountability are no longer optional extras. They are part of what a professional industry should already have in place. 🔗 Connect & Learn More: All Safe Yachting https://allsafeyachting.com…
