The devastation caused by the hurricanes in 2017 is still causing suffering for the communities affected as the clear up continues. ACREW have valued the opportunity to help in encouraging dialogue and raising funds for the stricken superyacht region.
DIALOGUE
PANEL DISCUSSION: The Caribbean Season Following the Hurricanes. La Rascasse, Monaco Yacht Show 2017
Founder of ACREW Abigail McGrath is a believer in community and has been keen to use the ACREW platform to help the superyacht businesses and destinations affected by hurricanes Irma and Maria. When contacted to discuss how ACREW’s established platform at Monaco Yacht Show could be used to help share information about the upcoming Caribbean season to Captains, she was only too pleased to help.
The panel discussion that was hosted in La Rascasse by Abigail included key stakeholders in the region. It was an opportunity to hear from people on the ground that gave accurate and honest accounts of how well the Caribbean can cater to yachts this coming season. With insights and first-hand accounts, the panel was able to respond to the questions and concerns of the yachting community.
Abigail McGrath, Founder and Managing Partner of ACREW commented:
‘The timing of the Monaco event was perfect to speak directly to Captains that were having real trouble getting reliable information about superyacht destinations. It is perfect that ACREW is able to offer this type of platform’.
