“The crew member’s lasting memory of signing off is often the journey home.”

In an article featured in IMPA Supply Chain and Sustainability Magazine (Issue 5, 2025), Joe Pitcher of GMT and V.Ships highlights why crew travel is a critical part of overall welfare—not just a logistical function.

After months at sea, a smooth and stress-free journey home plays a key role in crew satisfaction and retention. While technology has evolved, the mission remains the same: ensuring crews move safely and efficiently in a complex, 24/7 global environment.

Lessons from COVID-19 reshaped the industry, driving stronger collaboration and greater resilience. Today, marine travel goes far beyond booking tickets—it’s an essential part of supporting crew wellbeing and operational success.

Great to see Tim Davey featured in this insightful piece by Yachting International Radio, diving into what really keeps yacht crew travel moving behind the scenes: https://www.yachtinginternationalradio.com/post/yacht-crew-travel-what-actually-keeps-yachting-moving

In an industry where plans shift by the hour and “yes” is always the answer, this article captures the complexity, adaptability, and human expertise required to keep operations running seamlessly.

At Global Marine Travel, this is exactly what we’ve built our business around — creating systems that don’t just react, but anticipate.

🎥 Be sure to watch the full interview with Tim and Charl Minnaar on the Rich AF Podcast at the end of the article for deeper insights into why flexibility—not price—is the real driver in yacht crew travel, why adaptability is paramount, and how AI is reshaping travel logistics without replacing the human layer the industry depends on.

Yacht crew travel is one of the most critical yet overlooked systems in yachting. This editorial explores how flexibility, logistics, and AI are shaping global crew movement and why getting it wrong impacts far more than just a flight.
