place and one person does one thing only the one time.” Say Jansen receives an updated certificate or document. He sends them into the shared folder and all the Chief Mate needs to do is remove the old certificate and replace the new one. “So I’ve already done the work for him. That’s what we are really focusing on, organising the administration so that the crew can do their jobs and get on with running the boat.”
In terms of the future, Franc foresees that flag states will place a greater focus on ISM. “As the ISM manager, you have a legal responsibility as well as a safety responsibility. If you have one bad boat (ie; non compliant) under your management, it will affect the rest of the fleet who might also not be able to cruise. If one of your boats fails Port State Control, that will be a black mark against the management company and all your fleet will be affected.”

For Franc the hardest part of yacht management is getting the crew right. “There are so many people involved,” he explains, “and to create the right atmosphere on board with good stability is very complex. Crew longevity is related to the ‘touchy-feely’ side of the Captain. You can have a highly technically minded Captain, but you need the human touch too.” JMS are currently working with Peter Vogel at Luxury Hospitality, profiling, mentoring and monitoring crew. “So far it looks very interesting,” says Jansen.

“I think yacht managers have a hard approach to interior crew that needs to change. Interior crew have the interface with the owners, so they are very important and the knowledge that they gain from that in terms should belong to the boat.”
Nuno at Earth & Sea concludes, “We would definitely say that Yacht Management is a growing feature of the superyacht industry. Ultimately, yacht owners crave value. The more pressure and increased workload that there is placed on Captain–led, sole management of a vessel (due to the ever growing size of yachts and technical advancements), the more risk there is of important regulatory and safety changes being overlooked and therefore being a waste of owners time and costs. By assembling the perfect team, a marriage between Captain and the right Yacht Management Company, owners can maintain financial worth and help to create a more stress free environment.”
