    Outsourcing in Our New Yachteconomy

    By | General | No Comments

    The gods of our industries regulatory bodies are not making things any easier with the increasingly strict guidelines for running a vessel. Whether MCA or USCG, heaps of regulative paper work builds on a captain’s desk waiting for processing, a critical charter starts tomorrow and the mate is missing.
    In our new yachteconomy captains and owners see certain value in outsourcing a large portion of the administrative management to land-based companies and focusing on what they do best, run and maintain the vessel to the highest caliber while exceeding guest and owner expectations.
    The land based companies they’re partnering with staff qualified licensed professionals, engineers and accountants who can assist on a day to day basis to alleviate the hassle. The results are a yachting program that is safe, efficient and maximizes the vessel worth every day the flag rises with the sun.
    Choosing a management company with connections to facilitate shore-based issues is critical as they can usually get the very best pricing and accommodations. A misconception about yacht management is that companies charge a fortune to provide a range of services, which may not be the need of every yacht. In actuality owners can choose just the areas where expertise is needed.
    Finding a trusted Yacht Management company before the purchase of a vessel is solid assurance that your interest is being protected through the buy and dealing table. Yacht Management Companies can guarantee that the safety, staffing and registration process is initiated promptly and legally to get the boat out for the owners enjoyment sooner than later.
    In regard to new builds or refits, having a management company to get involved a year before delivery is smart. This helps to ensure the details of all system re-workings are ironed out smooth and are in-line with safety regulations. When executed properly project development to program management is stream lined with maximum efficiency and trusting relationship properly secured.

    German Beer and the Evolution of Ships=Deutsches Museum

    By | General | No Comments

    If you ever have a chance, 10 euros and an inkling of interest in boats, aeroplanes and electricity I highly recommend the Deutsch Museum of technology in Munich Germany. You might want to take your shoes off before you enter this mecca of science and discovery just to honor the men who gave their life to developing it and a tip for the museum curator who layed out such a wonderful display.
    The museum, clean, organized and extremely accurate exhibits the most far reaching developments in science and of man given to this earth. It would take 3 days to go through and read everything but many real life replicas and models are there before you to guide the way. Kicking off with ships starting in the Norse time 790 AD and evolving into the modern day super tanker. All the hard lessons learned in between this sweeping span of 2000 years is on hand for your discovery in just 100 yard of walking distance, ship composition, construction, steering and design, sail and propultion techniques (cool model sailboats to play with) and on board safety and survival developments. Many American discoveries and technologies are on display too.
    Having seen the fury of the sea myself and remembering it being framed so eloquently by Sir Francis Drake “Fear by day, Terror by night”. I could only stand back, take a sip of my warm Starbucks red eye and gawk at the small crafts developed by the Polynesians and Arawak Indians and imagine paddling off for an island or body of water 100’s to 1000’s of miles away with such minimal protection and security, or the Norse setting sail for modern day Maine in a bit more than a wooden skiff and fabric sails, salted meats but I guess in those days giants did walk the earth.-Josh Cunningham (owner) FreedomYachtManagement.com
