The 194.9m research and expedition vessel, REV Ocean, will hold the title of the world’s largest and most advanced research vessel.

➡️ Here’s a story:

Ben 'George' Gill is the Director of Miller Compton Maritime Ltd, and is overseeing the REV Ocean project as Owners Representative and Project Director. 

Ben contacted me to write some website copy for his company. He didn’t want anything too corporate, and it was super important that due to the technical nature of his job, his expertise was accurately presented to the industry.  We edited it a few times to get it just right and I am thrilled with his testimonial. Check out  the Miller Compton Maritime website: https://millercompton.com 

REV Ocean recently arrived at the Damen Shiprepair facility in the Netherlands, in preparation for her final outfitting; she has an expected delivery date of 2027). 75 % of her voyages will be dedicated to scientific research in what is referred to as “Science Mode
FRIDAY MOOD 🏀 🎾 

More superyacht owners are integrating sports facilities on their yachts.  You can find everything from fully kitted out gyms, to paddle ball and basketball courts, and even a helicopter hangar that converts to a glass-sided squash court when not in use!

💡 Which court would you choose?  1, 2, 3, or 4

The first time I saw a video of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries I was completely shocked.

I had no idea of the speed...

I had no idea of the vapour cloud ignition....

I had no idea of the high-speed projectiles.....

Since then...

↪︎ I’ve seen crew members discuss online saying they'd just toss them overboard if there's a fire. 🔥 

↪︎ I've seen boats push back against investing in certified storage boxes.

↪︎ I've seen dodgy storage solutions sold online, or peddled to yachts directly or yacht management that are downright dangerous, with fake or questionable certifications.

This industry can sometimes make me bang my head against the wall ! especially showing how little safety protocols are understood.

Safety awareness is still lagging—especially among crews. 

Rather than keep ranting, I channelled my energy into learning more about what crew and yachts can do to improve safety and mitigate risk. 

Thanks to @theislandermagazine for giving me space to dive into this topic, and to James Cunningham at @li_vault and Paul Miller at Millstream Underwriting Ltd for their help with my article.

Let’s make safety a priority.

Wednesday, they don’t call it hump day for nothing. So, it seems like a good idea to share a gratuitous post about 87.6m M/Y Project X.

Built in 2022: @goldenyachts 
Exterior: @kenfreivokhdesign 
Interior: @massaridesignstudio 

✅ 3 COOL THINGS:

1.  Waterfall into the pool 💦 🎥 @mrsuperyachts 

2.  The yacht’s signature interior element is an atrium connecting 3 of the 5 decks, however if you saw Project X at anchor at last year’s Monaco Grand Prix you might have seen her lights at dusk which look super cool with the giant “Xs” backdrop.

3.  I’m a fan of a great beach club, and Project X’s is sooo impressive: Turkish hamman spa, Finnish sauna, MTBs, water toys, table tennis and a full bar.  Naturally, they won the 2023 @boatinternational Outstanding Lifestyle Feature Award and you can see why. 🎥 @motoryachtprojectx

🤩 A win for me: Multiple blogs I’ve written for clients now rank higher in organic search results above major media including Boat International, Forbes, and others. 

Here’s why…

💎 My clients realised that being bold and having a distinct perspective helped them carve out a solid position online.  I'm not here to write 'been there, done that'  blogs or articles for them that get the personality sucked out of them. Customers will stick with you if you stand for something they believe in. If you stand against something they hate that too!

💎 They trusted me to nail down their target audience.  That meant they gave me space to suggest a bold headline for one of their blogs, as an example.

💎 They defined their end goal. Whether it’s raising brand awareness or converting leads to paying customers, all blogs were focused on an end goal.

💎 The yachting industry is rife with superfluous 'says nothing' copy: unparalleled, unmatched and my most hated term: redefined.  Ugh, give me a vomit bag fast! 🤮 Luxury purchases are not simply transactions; they're emotional investments.  Emotional engagement is essential if you sell luxury products or services, but you need to be able to clearly communicate what problems you solve and why it’s important. 

💎  I used the 3P’s formula (Product, Person, Payoff) to create storytelling with buying opportunities.  Customers needed a tangible vision to get excited to buy from them.
