Superyacht Captain: Life and Leadership in the World’s Most Incredible Industry
In Superyacht Captain, a professional at the zenith of the world’s most lavish and exclusive industry gives a rare insight into a career that is entertaining, instructive and at times daunting in its scale.
The tale of an ordinary boy whose career takes him on a most extraordinary journey, this book begins with Brendan messing about in boats in a sleepy coastal Australian town, and ends with him becoming one of the most successful and respected superyacht captains in the World – the consummate ‘Billionaire’s Captain’. Spanning two decades and circling the globe, his story intimately draws readers into the real world of superyachts, their crew and their owners. It is Brendan’s love letter to an industry he respects and holds so dear to his heart.
It’s the story of stepping out and embracing uncertainty – failing, learning and repeating – weaving in in the lessons he’s learned as he’s progressed from deck hand to captain, Brendan’s insights are valuable for anyone leading teams with demanding objectives. Surprisingly humble and self aware, in a world of glitter and extravagance you can see why he’s trusted. All of this is told against a backdrop of seemingly impossible glamour at the most extravagant edge of the global wealth spectrum, with plenty of entertaining stories of the superyacht lifestyle.
A brilliant read for all, for the superyacht fans, as well as anyone interested in leadership and management techniques from someone at the top of their game, working for those who define the rules of the game.
