The Yacht Brokers Institute is a very informative and helpful step to a successful career in yacht sales. We at our company see this as a hiring prerequisite.
Everyone has been very complimentary about the course. It is really helping me ramp up new salespeople starting with us. It gives them a basic understanding to start with and more confidence starting out.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and value the technical information I have learned. The F&E of Yacht Brokerage is a course that out of the classroom covers a lot of ground and makes clear situations that could be pretty tricky. I was able to close my first brokerage deal in the first three months.
One of the largest obstacles to getting a job at an established yacht brokerage is the knowledge base needed to be able to hit the ground running so that you understand the process, legal responsibilities and pitfalls without being a liability to the company.
The course was awesome! I really learned a ton of new information. I went into the program thinking this will be a breeze (being a 30 year boater)- boy was i wrong! The course and tests really prep you for things that will come up during sales negotiations and client interactions – I highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about a role as a yacht broker!
We have all heard that if you want to be happy in your work, do something you love. For the first 28 years of my adult life, I wasn’t doing this. With the help of the YBI, I now feel that I have a good solid base to start enjoying an exciting career in the yacht brokerage industry. Thank you Rae and your team for putting together this comprehensive course.
I recommend the F&E course. The course material has a seamless way of communicating the information clearly for beginners while also diving into detail that only Brokerage Professionals would know. The course holds high credibility within the field and an asset to anyone seeking employment within the Yacht Brokerage Field.

Two bodies recovered from the wreckage of the sunken Bayesian yacht have been confirmed as those of Mike Lynch and his daughter Hannah. Diving teams were seen this afternoon taking a green body bag back to the port of Porticello where dozens of emergency services staff were waiting. They are the second and third victims of the shipwreck to be found after the remains of the yacht’s cook, Recaldo Thomas, was located shortly after the vessel sank.

I reach the spot at the port where Sea Cloud Spirit is waiting for her voyage and find a crowd gathered. It’s understandable; the gleaming white windjammer, with her three huge masted sails, looks nothing like any of the other ships docked. At 450 feet long, tailing off into a gold-accented bow, with 4,951 square feet of sail curled and ready for release, watching the ship come into view is a wow-factor moment. I feel like I’ve taken a step back in time, unsure whether I feel more like a pirate or some sort of royal of yore. Either way, I’ve never set foot on a ship as impressive as this.
Sea Cloud Spirit is the newest in Sea Cloud Cruises’ fleet—a name that made an appearance on our Reader Choice Awards last year. With its trio of windjammers, setting sail on one of its handsome ships is a novel experience of the most sophisticated kind. It’s basically the floating version of taking a steam train through the countryside , evoking a romanticized bygone era where everyone sets off, bravely, to find adventure on unexplored lands.
That’s essentially what the original Sea Cloud , a now 90-year-old four-masted beauty, did. Once the largest private sailing yacht in the world, it was first commissioned under the name Hussar by Wall Street broker Edward Francis in 1931, who gave his glamorous cereal heiress wife, Marjorie Merriweather Post, a limitless budget to decorate its interior. She took on this role with gusto, furnishing it with a wealth of distinctive antiques and a characterful design, much of which you’ll still find inside today. Together they remained at sea for at least nine months a year, heading from one exotic destination to the next.
On board, there's a large sun deck for lounging in the sun.
But all good things come to an end and the couple divorced in 1935. Marjorie became the sole owner, renamed it Sea Cloud and married a man who’d go on to become the US ambassador in Moscow. The ship thus went on to fulfill a number of political roles, including a stint in Leningrad as a floating diplomatic palace and use as a floating weather station during World War II, when its majestic masts were sadly demounted. After the war ended, a four-year refurbishment saw it restored to former glory and it now serves as the flagship for Sea Cloud Cruises alongside two newer ships, each honoring the traditional seamanship and style of the original.
You won’t find any of Majorie’s antiques on Sea Cloud Spirit . But what the boat lacks in wartime stories to tell, it makes up for in luxuriousness. It’s much larger than the original, with a shining mahogany body and whitewashed exterior, space for 136 guests and 90 crew, glorious double bedrooms with balconies, a large sun deck, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, and a spa with gym.
The cabins are surprisingly roomy and tastefully nautical.
I step on board and am shown to my room by friendly host José, who is possibly one of the smiliest people I’ve ever met, and all too willing to help with anything I need. The cabins are striking and surprisingly roomy with plush double beds, suitably nautical artwork, smart carpets and spacious balconies replete with loungers. I especially love the bathrooms, with their shiny taps and statement golden sinks, L’Occitane hair and body products ,and plenty of big fluffy towels.
I help myself to a glass of Champagne from the bottle on the coffee table and ready myself to set sail to distant lands (in this instance, Malaga to Cádiz, and then off to Lisbon ), before heading out to the Lido Deck bar. This is one of the best spots on the boat. Throughout the four days you get to know the staff, and bar manager Anton is one of the cheeriest. He’s an old hand, having worked for Sea Cloud for over a decade, greeting you by name every time and even querying where one of our party was when the seasickness proved too much one evening. Ask him about his Martini tastings—it’s a good way to spend an hour.
There’s plenty of seating on the Lido Deck and having an outside dining spot, something the original ship lacks, means mealtimes with a view and a breath of salty air. The buffet changes daily, with a wealth of salads, quiches, fish, chicken, steaks, and pastas prepared freshly in front of your eyes. It’s a treat watching the chefs work; a highlight was witnessing a giant tuna arrive whole on two men’s shoulders, an apple tucked inside its huge mouth, before sashimi and steaks were expertly whittled out one by one and served up with shavings of fresh wasabi. The inaugural gala dinner in the main dining room provides an opportunity to get dressed up; plates unveiled with a flourish from under a dome and a Champagne top-up never too far away.
There's no shortage of space to sunbathe on the top deck.
Casting off any comparisons with mega cruise ships, the entertainment on Sea Cloud Spirit all pays homage to a life at sea. On one particularly nice day, we all scrambled onto the lifeboat dinghies to circle the ship in her full glory. A few members of our party got to scale the ropes up to the masts—admittedly, I was jealous when I was not selected for this—and in the evening a handful of staff, including our lovely José, sang sea shanties on the deck.
But the most exciting event is the releasing of the sails. Every morning I headed up to the top deck, pushing open the doors to bobbing seas and blue skies, to watch the sailors work. In my mind, I imagined them billowing down within seconds, like something out of a Pirates of the Caribbean film, unfurling with a flourish before the ship steams off into the distance—but I was wrong.
It’s a long process, with over 10 people diligently winding and unwinding the ropes up in the sails and on the deck, working in tandem to release each individual part of the sail, until they are all finally free. Watching this, I felt like I’d learned something, and that went double after a tour of the engine room and ‘the bridge’, aka the ship’s control centre. Where possible, the boat utilizes wind power from the sails, but an average of 80 tonnes of fuel is used for every four-day trip.
The ship is approximately 450 feet, with nearly 5,000 square feet of sail.
There are multiple bookable excursions for days on land, including a variety of food and boozy tastings, and guided tours via foot, e-bike and tuk-tuk. We were shown around pretty Cádiz , culminating in a stop off at a local tapas restaurant for a taste of the local delicacies. This city is famous for its orange trees, which compete with the blossoms to fill the roadsides with brilliant flashes of color. It's from here that Chanel sources the fruit for its fragrances. “People in Cádiz say that when they’ve met the right romantic match, they’ve found the other half of their orange,” says our guide.
In Lisbon, we sidestepped the need to traverse the steep hillsides on foot by shuttling up to the best miradouros (viewpoints, to you and me) by tuk-tuk, then off to a Portuguese wine tasting at a very chic Art Deco museum-come-wine bar. Grazing on olives, cured hams and cheese while an expert talked us through various Portuguese wines was another highlight of the trip.
But as wonderful as days spent exploring can be, the real draw in this instance is the ship itself. Seeing the sun dip below the sea in the evenings while hanging over the railings, watching dolphins leap out of the water from the cabin balcony, the sound of the waves lulling me to sleep—these are my overriding memories from the trip. Even a brief bout of seasickness didn’t spoil the fun (although it certainly gave me some learnings for next time).
Usually the journeying part of traveling is tedious—even the chicest business class cabin feels oppressive after 14 hours—but the time on shore wasn’t half as exciting as that spent on board. I disembarked in Lisbon with a renewed appreciation for what it must have taken to set sail way back when; and a reminder that the journey itself is as important as the destination, in one of the loveliest ways possible.

How biden changed his party.
We explore three ways the president has shaped the Democratic Party.
By David Leonhardt
President Biden has never exactly been a liberal Democrat or a conservative Democrat. He has instead stayed in his party’s mainstream. When the party moved right in the 1990s, he moved with it. When it moved left in the 2010s, so did he.
But Biden has not simply gone with the Democratic flow. Over his more than 50 years in politics, he has periodically shown strong opinions about how his party should change — and helped it do so.
Last night in Chicago, Biden took a big step in his long political goodbye, delivering a 52-minute speech at the Democratic convention . In today’s newsletter, I’ll examine how Biden’s presidency shaped his party — and consider whether Kamala Harris is likely to continue these shifts. I think three points are key.
Biden has always understood the class resentments that many Americans feel. (If you haven’t read Robert Draper’s profile of Biden for The Times Magazine, I recommend it , including the section in which Biden analyzes George W. Bush.)
Biden’s political career began in 1972, when he defeated an incumbent Republican senator in Delaware even as Richard Nixon won a landslide. Biden ran as a subtly different kind of Democrat, with a more working-class image than the party’s presidential nominee that year, George McGovern. Biden simultaneously distanced himself from the liberal fervor of the 1960s and portrayed himself as an economic populist. He criticized both draft dodgers and “millionaires who don’t pay any taxes at all.”
Five decades later, Biden became the most populist Democratic president in modern times. This positioning wasn’t just about his background, either. Populism has recently gained a new appeal, thanks to the failure of the market-based economic policies of the past half-century — which are often known as neoliberalism — to deliver broad-based prosperity.
Instead of focusing on trade deals, Biden tried to build up American manufacturing. He joined a picket line with autoworkers and appointed labor-friendly regulators. He gave Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices. He cracked down on “junk fees.” He tried to end decades of gentle antitrust regulation.
Biden devoted much of his speech last night to this agenda. He claimed to have rebuilt “the backbone of the middle class.” He said, “We finally beat big Pharma,” and “Wall Street didn’t build America, the middle class built America.” When the crowd chanted, “Union Joe,” he replied, “I agree. I’m proud.”
These economic policies are largely popular even though Biden is not. If the Democratic Party’s shift away from neoliberalism — toward what I’ve called neopopulism — continues, Biden’s presidency will be a major reason. And Harris’s initial economic proposals suggest that much of the shift will continue if she wins.
Biden loves to talk about how he has proved his doubters wrong, sometimes with a dash or two of hyperbole. Yet there is at least one aspect of his presidency for which he deserves to gloat: his surprising success at passing bipartisan legislation.
He has signed bipartisan bills on infrastructure, semiconductor chips, Ukraine aid and TikTok — as well as on anti-Asian hate crimes, the aviation system, the electoral process, gun violence, the Postal Service, same-sex marriage and veterans’ health. In a polarized Washington, Biden has demonstrated that bipartisanship remains possible.
“Remember, we were told we couldn’t get it done?” he asked in last night’s speech.
He drew on his long Senate career to help pass these bills. He refused to treat the Republican Party as the enemy and remained upbeat — and often in the background — even when negotiations stalled.
Would Harris show similar patience? And would congressional Republicans be willing to work with her? It’s hard to know.
Biden’s signature line about foreign policy is that the world is witnessing a struggle between democracy and autocracy . You can quibble with the details, but his basic point is correct.
U.S. allies are mostly democracies — including Western Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, India, Australia, Mexico and Canada. The countries that treat the U.S. as an enemy are autocracies — China, Russia, Iran and North Korea. Increasingly, these autocracies are collaborating with one another.
Biden has defined the United States as the leading player in an alliance to combat autocracy. “Who can lead the world other than the United States of America?” he asked last night.
As president, he confronted China economically and promised to defend Taiwan. He rallied a pro-Ukraine coalition after Russia invaded. He withdrew from Afghanistan — chaotically — partly because of its limited strategic importance. He abandoned his initial reluctance to work with Saudi Arabia, an autocratic ally, and embraced it as a counterweight to Iran. He continued to embrace Israel for similar reasons, despite the death and destruction in Gaza.
Biden’s foreign policy is based on the idea that the world has entered a new cold war (even if he rejects the term). And Harris? Her campaign has said little about foreign policy or her worldview. Maybe that will start to change in Chicago this week.
“ America, I gave my best to you ,” Biden said in a speech that also criticized Donald Trump.
Biden called picking Harris as his running mate the best decision of his career. He joked that “like many of our best presidents, she was also vice president.”
Introduced by his daughter Ashley, Biden dabbed tears as convention delegates held signs reading “We ❤️ Joe.”
Speaking earlier, Hillary Clinton said, “On the other side of that glass ceiling is Kamala Harris raising her hand and taking the oath of office .”
Several speakers contrasted Harris’s background with Trump’s felony convictions. Clinton smiled and nodded as the audience chanted “lock him up.”
Shawn Fain of the United Auto Workers union wore a T-shirt that read “Trump is a scab.”

On social media, Trump shared A.I.-generated images suggesting that Taylor Swift had endorsed him . She hasn’t.
Israel-hamas war.
American officials say Israel has accepted a U.S. intermediate proposal in cease-fire talks with Hamas, which is meant to help work through their remaining disagreements.
Hamas officials have not yet agreed to the deal, which they have called slanted toward Israel. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the proposal “probably the best, maybe the last, opportunity” to secure a truce.
