The Yacht Channel

4.5 million views. 19,000 subscribers. Independent.

Ten years before yacht channels became a genre, Paul produced one of the first independent yacht-industry video series. The Yacht Channel runs as a working sales-and-education platform — not a paid placement vehicle for shipyard advertorial.

What we cover

  • Long-form vessel walkthroughs — from on-deck to engine room
  • Commercial-to-yacht conversion case studies (OSV, research, SAR, government tonnage)
  • Wind, hybrid, and emerging propulsion — including the WindVoyage joint venture
  • Owner interviews & shipyard tours
  • Honest market commentary — what the broker rumour mill is saying, and what is actually closing

Editorial position

We do not accept payment for vessel features. If a vessel appears on the channel, it is because we believe she belongs there. Working relationships are disclosed in the video description; sponsored content is not part of the model.

This is unusual in the modern yacht media landscape. Most channels and magazines run on the same revenue model: builders and brokers pay for placement, and the editorial position bends to fit. We deliberately built The Yacht Channel without that revenue source. Our channel income comes from YouTube ad share and Xplorer Yachts brokerage commissions earned on transactions where our coverage helped move the principal toward a decision.

Press & industry recognition

Commentary in Forbes, Yachting Magazine, Boat International, and the wider industry press. Forbes recognised one of Paul’s early podcasts as among the first online yacht industry podcasts. Paul is a WGA-affiliated screenwriter and documentary filmmaker (IMDB: nm0534631).
