🔥 What if the secret to a high-performing superyacht isn’t the steel, the tech, or the design — but the crew?
In this episode of Forward Watch, Karine Rayson sits down with Josephine De Luca, former Executive Officer of the iconic M/Y Savannah, to explore how a chartered accountant became a driving force behind one of the most admired crew cultures in yachting. From 13 years of loyalty to unheard-of retention rates, Savannah’s story redefines what leadership at sea can look like.
Josephine breaks down how shared purpose, emotional intelligence, mentorship, and thoughtful hiring transformed a workplace into a family — and why owners, captains, and HODs can’t afford to ignore the human side of yachting.
✅ In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How Savannah built industry-leading crew retention
- Why purpose and culture outperform rules and hierarchy
- What Executive Officers really do behind the scenes
- How owners shape morale, productivity, and loyalty
- The hidden cost of under-crewing new builds
- Why emotional maturity matters more than experience
- How mentorship develops future HODs
- Practical strategies for building people-first yachts
