Yacht Compliance, Safety & Liability: What Owners and Captains Get Wrong | Captain’s Chat


Listen Later

Yacht compliance is not optional — and it is never just paperwork.

In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin sits down with Captain Wendy Clark, Founder of Plumeria Marine, to unpack the compliance failures that quietly shut down charter programs, expose owners to liability, and put crew at risk.

With extensive experience across inspected vessels, charter operations, and marine management, Wendy explains why US Coast Guard compliance is black and white — and why misunderstanding that reality costs owners months of revenue and credibility.

This conversation goes beyond theory, covering real-world scenarios involving charter shutdowns, delivery risks, crew safety, environmental responsibility, and the human factor behind most onboard incidents.

This episode is essential listening for captains, owners, brokers, managers, and crew who understand that safety, compliance, and leadership are inseparable at sea.
