How do you transport a yacht across oceans, continents, and some of the world’s busiest shipping routes?

In this episode of the Yacht Kings Podcast, Dennis sits down with Chris Perez from Peters & May to explore the complex world of international yacht transport and marine logistics.

Founded in 1973 in the United Kingdom, Peters & May has grown from a freight forwarding business into a global yacht transport and logistics company with operations across major yachting hubs including Fort Lauderdale, Southampton, Palma, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, and beyond.

The conversation looks at how yacht transport has evolved over more than five decades — from the company’s early freight forwarding roots to supporting major international sailing events, yacht racing programs, superyachts, leisure vessels, and complex project cargo around the world.

Dennis and Chris break down what actually goes into moving a yacht internationally, including planning, specialized lifting systems, custom cradles, loadmaster expertise, route coordination, and the logistical challenges involved in transporting high-value vessels safely.

They also explore how innovation has shaped the business, from specialized transport systems to more efficient logistics strategies designed to improve reliability and reduce environmental impact.

The discussion moves into some of the biggest disruptions the global logistics industry has faced in recent years — including Brexit, COVID-19, supply chain bottlenecks, sanctions, and geopolitical uncertainty — and how Peters & May continued operating through rapidly changing conditions.

The episode also examines the role of international partnerships, major regattas, global yachting destinations, and the importance of having infrastructure and expertise positioned across the world’s key marine markets.

The conversation closes with a look at what comes next for Peters & May, emerging routes and opportunities, future innovation, sustainability initiatives, and advice for yacht owners and managers planning an international yacht move.

What turns a great meal into an experience people never forget?

In this episode of the Yacht Kings Podcast, Dennis sits down with Sylwia Stachyra — winner of Top Chef Poland Season 7 and founder of CookShe — for a conversation about culinary excellence, luxury yacht dining, creativity, and the art of creating unforgettable experiences.

Sylwia’s journey has taken her from Lublin, Poland, to London and kitchens around the world, including high-level culinary environments where precision, discipline, and attention to detail are expected at every level.

She shares how international travel and exposure to different cultures shaped a culinary style influenced by Polish, French, and Asian flavors — and how food became a way to express identity, tell stories, and create meaningful connections.

Dennis and Sylwia also explore what changes when the kitchen moves onto the water.

Cooking aboard a yacht brings its own set of challenges: limited space, changing environments, highly personalized requests, and exceptionally high guest expectations. But those same conditions can create something difficult to reproduce on land — a dining experience where the food, surroundings, service, and moment all become part of the same memory.

Sylwia also reflects on winning Top Chef Poland, building the personality behind her “Potato Girl” identity, and learning how embracing something distinctive can become an important part of a personal brand.

The conversation then moves beyond the kitchen into the business of culinary experiences. Through CookShe, Sylwia has expanded her work into private dining, yacht experiences, workshops, consulting, and events designed around much more than simply serving a meal.

The episode closes with a look at what comes next for Sylwia, the future of CookShe, and what creating the perfect moment for someone means after a career shaped by travel, pressure, creativity, and constant evolution.

Can environmentally responsible marine products perform at the level professionals expect?

In this episode of the Yacht Kings Podcast, Dennis sits down with Tristan Contas from Eco Safeway, a South Florida company developing high-performance, eco-safe cleaning solutions designed to protect people, equipment, infrastructure, and the environment.

The conversation explores how Eco Safeway began with professionals in the air conditioning and real estate industries who saw a need for safer and more effective cleaning products — and how that idea expanded into commercial, household, and marine applications.

At the center of the discussion is one of the biggest challenges facing sustainable products: overcoming the perception that “eco-friendly” means less effective.

Tristan explains Eco Safeway's approach to developing non-toxic, non-corrosive, biodegradable, and phosphate-free cleaning solutions while maintaining the performance required in demanding environments.

Dennis and Tristan also discuss what sustainability looks like in practical terms — from protecting surfaces and infrastructure to reducing exposure to harsh chemicals, improving efficiency, and developing products that can deliver both environmental and economic benefits.

The conversation looks at the challenges of introducing new solutions into established industries, changing long-held expectations around chemical cleaning products, and responding to evolving sustainability standards within the marine sector.

Topics include:

• Sustainable yacht and marine maintenance
• Eco-friendly marine cleaning solutions
• Alternatives to harsh cleaning chemicals
• Non-toxic and biodegradable cleaning products
• Protecting marine equipment and infrastructure
• Green chemistry and product innovation
• Sustainability without sacrificing performance
• Reducing long-term maintenance costs
• Changing perceptions around eco-friendly products
• The future of sustainable marine solutions

The episode closes with a look at Eco Safeway’s vision for continued innovation, expanding its reach, and helping yacht owners and marine professionals reduce their environmental impact without compromising the level of performance their operations demand.

What does it take to build a reputation that holds up in one of the world’s most demanding luxury industries?

In this episode of the Yacht Kings Podcast, Dennis sits down with Saxon Cwalinski, International Director of Sales at Smallwood’s Yachtwear, for a conversation about luxury yachting, sales, leadership, service, and the standards behind long-term success.

Saxon’s career started on the operational side of the business in shipping and logistics before taking him into international yachting, sales, leadership, and the global growth of Smallwood’s Yachtwear. Along the way, he learned that success in this industry is rarely about one transaction. It is built through consistency, relationships, presentation, and trust.

Dennis and Saxon explore what separates exceptional salespeople from average ones, why first impressions matter so much in luxury hospitality, and how a crew’s presentation can influence the guest experience before a word is ever spoken.

They also discuss what it takes to maintain a true 10/10 reputation while scaling internationally, leading teams across different markets, and protecting the values that made a company successful in the first place.

Outside of business, Saxon shares how endurance challenges — including marathons, Ironman events, and climbing Kilimanjaro — have shaped his perspective on discipline, discomfort, resilience, and performance.

The conversation closes with a look at the future of luxury yachting and hospitality, changing expectations from the next generation of yacht owners, and what Saxon believes will continue to matter no matter how much the industry evolves.

Topics include:
• Luxury yachting and hospitality
• Sales and relationship building
• Brand reputation and customer experience
• Yacht crew presentation and uniforms
• Leadership and international team culture
• Building and scaling a global brand
