In this episode of Catalina Crew Yacht-Cast, we sit down with Cécile Gauert, longtime Editor-in-chief at BOAT International, and one of the most insightful voices in the world of Super Yacht journalism. With over two decades of experience covering the global yachting industry,

Cécile shares what it's like to document the evolution of the superyacht world — from cutting-edge shipyards to behind-the-scenes builder stories, and from charter culture to the people commissioning the next generation of iconic yachts.

We talk about: How Cécile got her start in the marine publishing world Her approach to covering high-end custom yacht builds The challenges and responsibilities of reporting on billion-dollar boats What yacht owners and readers really care about in 2025 Why authentic storytelling still matters in an image-heavy industry The role of Monaco Yacht Show, FLIBS, and other major yacht events in the editorial cycle Her personal favorite yachts, from Feadship to Sanlorenzo and beyond Sustainability, hybrid tech, and the changing tastes of new owners

How yachting media can adapt in an age of social-first content What we can do to turn Marina del Rey into Super/ Mega Yacht hub?

How we can prepare for World Cup, Super Bowl and Olympics and how we can accomadate yachts for this World Class Events! Whether you're a yacht lover, charter pro, media creator, or just obsessed with the superyacht lifestyle, this episode offers real access into a part of the industry most people never see.

Cécile is thoughtful, humble, and extremely knowledgeable — and her perspective offers value for builders, brokers, marketers, and owners alike.
