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 — not a paid placement vehicle for shipyard advertorial.
A curated selection from The Yacht Channel covering the disciplines that drive every Xplorer engagement — wind-powered new builds, OSV Restomods, ice-class conversions, and the finishing-build path.
The technology, the operating data from MV Canopée, and the WindVoyage 110 programme — the case for wind-powered explorer yachts.
Why an offshore supply vessel makes a better expedition yacht than a white-yacht new build — the working economics and the engineering pedigree.
Walkthrough of the 225ft ice-class diesel-electric SAR vessel lying in Vigo — the platform, the engineering, and the $25M all-in path to an expedition yacht.
When the clean-sheet new build is the right answer — spec development, yard selection, and the owner's representative discipline that runs the project to delivery.
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).
