Yacht Crew Burnout, Mental Health & Nervous-System Tools With Cassidy Breedt | Captain’s Chat


Listen Later

Burnout is becoming one of the biggest issues in the yachting industry. In this episode of Captain’s Chat, Captain Liam Devlin speaks with Cassidy Breedt, Founder of Auraflow Yoga, about the emotional, physical, and neurological toll yachting takes on crew — and the practical tools that can help prevent long-term damage.

Cassidy shares her own journey through chronic fatigue, anxiety, shutdown, and the pressures of working on smaller yachts with little rest. She explains how yoga, breathwork, and nervous-system regulation can help crew reset stress, improve resilience, and stay mentally grounded during demanding seasons.

Whether you're a captain, stewardess, deckhand, HOD, or anyone working at sea, this conversation offers actionable steps to recognise burnout early, protect your wellbeing, and create healthier onboard culture.

You’ll Learn:
  • The real signs of crew burnout (beyond fatigue)
  • Why yacht crew struggle with anxiety and emotional shutdown
  • How nervous-system tools can de-escalate stress in minutes
  • Breathwork practices that work during charter
  • Why yoga is a mental health tool, not just movement
  • How leadership can reduce burnout across the whole crew
  • Why therapy should be normalized in yachting
  • What crew can do today to protect their long-term wellbeing
