What does it take to make a superyacht experience feel effortless, and what do guests rarely see behind the scenes?
Sabrina van Maltha welcomes Captain Ronny M. Roskosch to Yachting Confidential for a candid conversation about the people, pressures and responsibilities behind luxury yachting, drawing on his three decades at sea across commercial shipping, deep-sea diving and superyachts.
Ronny discusses the trust between captains and owners, the reality of yacht maintenance budgets, and the decisions that keep guests and crew safe while delivering the experience everyone expects.
He also explores crew fatigue, motivation and living conditions, the importance of honest communication, and why a seemingly simple charter request beginning with “Can we just…?” can create hours of work.
Alongside the challenges, Ronny shares the moments that keep him passionate about life at sea, from quiet night passages to creating charter experiences that guests remember for years.
An experienced captain’s perspective on what it means to lead a crew, manage expectations and take responsibility for a multimillion-euro vessel.
