Episode 47 - BOAT Briefing with Alistair Reid, captain of the groundbreaking 77m Damen La Datcha

In this week’s podcast the team discuss the glamorous and tragic stories of Hollywood’s most famous yachts. We also cover Royal Huisman’s cool blue motor yacht, Project Phi, the latest from the Monaco Yacht Show and exclusively reveal the latest sales figures in a spectacular year for superyacht brokerage. Finally, we sit down with Alistair Reid, captain of the groundbreaking 77m Damen La Datcha. He fills us in on the yacht's action-packed first charter season – including heliskiing in Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula – and charts his path from cleaning hire boats in Salcombe to becoming captain of one of the world’s most exciting explorer yachts.
