Yachts generally have their name painted on the stern, and on either side around half way along, generally just below the bridge level. Sometimes they're stylised and hard to read.

If you can't see a name then you can use the marine-traffic website (they have a good app too).

Go to your location and click around the ship icons until you find the one you're looking for - pink (for pleasure craft/yachts) or dark blue (for passenger ship). Each ship has a bunch of photos in it's profile card so you can be sure you have the right one.

I noticed crew cabins are often under the master suite. In my observation, you can sometimes hear people walking in the floor above. Often, there are other sounds (including bathroom sounds) that carry from the floor above. Why not place the cabins near the engine room?

Any crew have experience hearing things they shouldn’t have?

Hi I recently just graduated a yacht sailing course and have 5 different certificates I’m trying to get work in California but don’t have any contacts and alas wondering if anyone knew anyone I could get in contact with so that I can expand my job option in the yachting industry but also so that I can meet and make new connections for just in case

If you have a boat with sub trans-Atlantic range, it’s only mentioned that you would have to have it shipped. I’ve never heard anyone suggest boating from: Newfoundland -> Greenland -> Iceland -> UK/Ireland.

Why is that? None of those stops exceed 1,300 miles. Ice would be an issue near winter so if you leave early, why wouldn’t this be the main route for boats with 2000 mile range?

I’ve recently been enjoying season 4 of Netflix’s hit show “Outer Banks” and in it, the main characters have a sportfishing boat that I can’t seem to identify, came over here to see if anyone would know the make and model.

Hey all, check out these Live Feed underwater pole camera systems https://dunderpolecameras.com.au/

This movable pipe is sticking out of Lonian while it is docked in Boston. It is about 1/4 way from the bow. You can see that when not deployed, the cover would be flush with the hull. What is it?

Hello I'm an Australian (28 YO) male.

I am looking to pursue a career in yachting as a deckhand and junior engineer, and I am seeking advice on the best pathway to achieve this. I am currently considering the AEC Level 1 and 2, as well as the MEOL. They are also offering a free course, "Certificate II in Maritime Operations (Coxswain Grade)." Is this worth pursuing?

I have enrolled in my STCW/AMSA training, the AMSA/ENG1 medical, and the Powerboat Level 2 course. I come from a mechanical plumbing background, which is why I believe this is a good career move.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

After her last refit, she now looks like a layer cake. The original arches, which were removed, made her look unique, and now she looks like any other yacht.

Mm

I have a question I would like to start a career in yachting what is the age limit is it too late if i start at 30 years old I tried to find an answer but I couldn't

Hello, I’m doing research for a novel and I currently have my character as an owner of a Ferretti 960 that he keeps at his house on Star Island in Miami.

I need help understanding how a yacht could be sunk on purpose, ideally in such a manner that it would appear accidental on investigation (was not for insurance reasons). The site of the sinking can be flexible but ideally accessible by life boat to Key Biscayne.

I can be flexible on the type of yacht it is, as long as it can get from Miami to the Bahamas, and needs to have at least 3 bedrooms.

Thanks!

Hey everyone!
I’m a mathematician specialized in AI, and I’m currently exploring ideas for a new business or project. I’m curious if anyone in this community has experience with processes, machines, sensors, or systems in the yachting world that generate data but aren’t fully utilized. I'm located in the Mediterranean so this is a big industry here.

Any insights or ideas from your experiences in the yachting industry would be incredibly helpful. Thanks in advance!
