WELCOMES ALL SUPERYACHT BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS

Dear colleagues & friends, 2020 has been an unexpected and turbulent year for all of us. But it has also given us time to reflect and to create a COVID proof plan for the future. We would like to take this opportunity to both thank you for your continued support and also share with you the direction we are steering ACREW in 2021. Moving forwards, everything we do at ACREW will be with the intention to be The global leader in skill development for the heart of the Superyacht Industry; our Captains & Crew. This will be seen in our ACREW Learning Events, The Crew Awards and our comprehensive package to support vessels improve crew retention; ACREW+.
The refocus of ACREW requires a disciplined approach and we have therefore decided to close the door to new business memberships in 2021. This will enable us to best look after our existing ACREW Business Members over the year to come and will ensure that everyone has the opportunity to host a workshop, webinar or virtual round table and utilise the Monaco Yacht Show ACREW Lounge. This will enable you to receive the best ROI possible. We are also delighted to announce that Arnold Mbiydzengeh will now lead our Superyacht Business Division and will oversee that all our ACREW Business Members receive the attention, communication and value you look for with us. We very much look forward to working with you over the year to come.
Best wishes, Abi McGrath and Onno Ebbens

ACREW YACHTING INSIGHTS ACREW Yachting Insights will help you increase a higher reach to Captains and Crew in a way that is both on-trend and fits with our audience’s needs. ACREW Yachting Insights are pre-recorded videos of your chosen topic. This new approach will gain more viewers and generate more engagement on our channels. Crew members will be notified about an upcoming ACREW Yachting Insight on our social media channels. On each social media post announcing the topic for the upcoming ACREW Yachting Insight, we will ask our audience if they have any questions which they would like answered during the video
BENEFITS • Facilitate a discussion/presentation with your company branding • Recording of the discussion/presentation to be shared on ACREW social media platforms • Recording to be displayed on acrew.com 8
HOW DO ACREW YACHTING INSIGHTS WORK? ACREW uses Webinarjam, a leading software to host ACREW Yachting Insights. Videos created will now be pre-recorded meaning we have the ability to edit the final version and focus 100% of our marketing effort on the promotion of the pre-recorded content for a more impactful and widely reaching result. When you provide us with your topic, we would evaluate the subject and decide if it should be with guest speakers or not. If we recommend the topic should be in the format of a discussion, then you can provide us with guest speakers, or we can invite relevant professionals for you. If the format will be more of a presentation format, an ACREW team member will help facilitate you.
Definitely worth it! So much new info! Chief Stewardess Josipa Lozo So great to see you guys getting involved and connecting with Crew! Chief Stewardess Giverny Cowie
Really enjoyed the Acrew Webinar, from a Captains point of view it’s important to listen to other people’s point of views, suggestions and new ideas. Great way to stay connected in the industry and to see how others are coping with the current situation. Captain Tristan Mortlock 9
