What They Don’t Tell You About Life at Sea | George Vallis
What really happens behind the world’s luxury yachts?
In this episode of The Mooring Line, we sit down with George Valis, Professional Captain and President of PUPYC, for an open and candid conversation about what life in the yachting industry really looks like behind the image of luxury.
From the realities of crew life and the relationship between captains, owners and management companies, to leadership, career opportunities, burnout, safety, salaries and the challenges facing the next generation of yacht professionals. We also discuss the future of the captain’s role, the impact of technology and AI, crew retention, the evolving expectations of yacht owners, and what makes Greek crew competitive in the international yachting market.
No filters. No clichés. Just real experience from inside the industry.
The Mooring Line explores the people, business and realities behind the world of luxury yachting. #Yachting #Superyachts #YachtCrew #Captain #YachtIndustry #TheMooringLine
