Introducing
Our Team
The people behind the scenes
At the heart of Blue Ducks are Ed, Tony, and Jess—three individuals whose paths have uniquely intersected through their shared experiences in the yachting industry.
Each of them have not only worked on yachts in the past but now also lead companies within the yachting space. It is from this vantage point of extensive industry insight and personal experience that the concept of Blue Ducks was born.
Our Vision
We envision a future where mental health is openly discussed, where support systems are the norm, and where every individual in the yachting industry feels valued and understood. Through awareness, we aim to create a ripple effect of accountability and change, ensuring that the well-being of crew members is not just an afterthought but a pinnacle pillar of the yachting community.
Our Journey
Our journey into the world of yachting has been both rewarding and challenging. We've encountered the highs of breathtaking voyages and the lows that come with the demanding nature of our roles. A common thread in our experiences has been the confrontation with mental health issues—either personally or through the experiences of our peers. These encounters have not only shaped us but have also highlighted a glaring need within the yachting community of a dedicated movement to champion mental health awareness.
Our Mission
Blue Ducks is more than just an initiative; it's a call to action for everyone involved in the yachting industry. From management and owners, to the crew members who are the backbone of every operation, we aim to foster a culture of support, awareness, and, ultimately, change. We believe that by drawing from our unique experiences and leveraging our current positions, we can drive a significant shift towards better mental health practices and awareness in the industry.
