JMS Yachting

During yesterday’s International Superyacht Society meeting, the focus was crew retention. The conversation revolved around the importance of training, leadership, mentoring and management, but one crucial element that remains under-recognized is the effectiveness of current training programs. While the training facilities claim they are preparing crew members to the best of their abilities, the reality is that much of this training falls short in adequately equipping them for the actual demands of life on a yacht. Take the Basic Safety training course as an example — what are they truly teaching? Are these programs aligning with the practical skills needed to thrive onboard? no they are purely giving them what the course name states “basic” safety training There needs to be more emphasis on real-world, hands-on training that mirrors the challenges crew face at sea. Institutions like Savvy Maritime Academy exemplify the type of practical education that goes beyond theory and genuinely prepares crew for the realities of working on yachts. Programs like these will be key to improving retention by ensuring crew are not only competent but confident in their roles from the outset. JMS Yachting

AN INSIDE LOOK OF PROJECT MASTER AT MYS! At this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, in a captivating interview, Business ICON Yachts Development Manager, Marek Hasenkopf and Marketing Manager Rebecca Budel together with JMS Operations Director, Rob Pijper shared their insights on the project’s inspirations, recent updates, and the strategic choices that set it apart. Here’s what we learned about the journey from vision to reality. 🔸 The Inspiration Behind Project Master’s Interior Design When asked about the inspiration behind the interior design, Marek emphasized that the look and feel of Project Master was crafted by Winch Design with natural products and colours. The theme was inspired by ocean layers and the special attribute is the galley exclusively reserved for guests. 🔸 The major developments which have occurred The team has made significant strides in the structural construction of Project Master. Key updates include the completion of a major steel phase, with the new 12-meter stern section now successfully added. Following this, all main accommodation blocks will be integrated, with a projected timeline for the yacht’s structural completion by the end of the year. 🔸 Choosing the Donor Vessel Some have questioned the choice of donor vessel, particularly with regard to its hull shape and fuel efficiency. However, the team clarified that this particular vessel was selected for several reasons: its substantial fuel capacity, its structural rigidity ideal for withstanding exploration in remote areas, and its efficient fuel consumption despite its larger beam. 🔸Future-proofing for sustainability Looking ahead, the vessel’s propulsion system has been designed to be future-proof, with an advanced electric grid that will contribute to its environmentally sustainable profile. The hybrid system is intended to be adaptable to future innovations in energy efficiency, further enhancing the yacht’s eco-friendly impact. 🔸 What are the next steps in the build? As the structural work nears completion, the team will focus on finalising the hull and advancing the electrical systems showcasing a vessel that combines comfort with exploration-ready resilience. Project Master promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the yachting world, stay tuned, we can't wait to share more!
