Twenty years before yacht-broker channels became a marketing genre, Paul produced one of the first independent yacht-industry video series. Today The Yacht Channel runs as a working sales-and-education platform.
A curated selection from The Yacht Channel covering the disciplines that drive every Xplorer engagement — wind-powered new builds, SAR conversions, white-yacht-to-expedition conversions, and the value-add refit.
The technology, the operating data from MV Canopée, and the WindVoyage 110 programme — the case for wind-powered explorer yachts.
A finished, German-built 64-metre white yacht re-purposed as a global expedition platform — what changes, what stays, and why the pedigree of the hull makes it work.
How a former search-and-rescue vessel becomes a €50M-class global explorer — the acquisition, the conversion scope, and where the value is created.
A working makeover concept on a 211-footer — where a disciplined $4M refit scope moves the vessel up a class and adds $10M to her market value.
If a vessel appears on The Yacht Channel, it is because we believe she belongs there. Brokerage relationships are disclosed; sponsored content is not part of the model. The audience knows the difference, and that is the entire reason the channel has the audience it does.
“The moment you start running paid placement, the audience knows. They may keep watching for a while, but they stop trusting what you say about a vessel. That is the only currency the channel has.”
Paul's commentary has appeared in Forbes, Yachting Magazine, Boat International, and across the wider industry press. He is WGA-affiliated as a screenwriter and documentary filmmaker (IMDB: nm0534631).
