The yachting industry lacks laws and regulations that mandate criminal background checks in the 21st century. This is not only difficult to comprehend but also ethically wrong and unacceptable. Many of us within the industry, whether crew members, owners, or managers, have encountered individuals who should be prevented from working in the industry, and this is where Crew Pass aims to assist us. Let's engage in an open conversation about how Conrad Empson, former yachtie and the founder of Crew Pass, is reshaping yachting security for a safer future.
