For over 25 years, Dockwalk has served as an trusted and indispensable resource for both superyacht captains and crew. Now in a more contemporary and portable format, the magazine connects a global community of professionals with its indispensable content.
A digital handbook for crew
Complementing the print magazine, Dockwalk.com is an intuitive, mobile-friendly platform where captains and crew can access practical resources anywhere they are in the world. Its mission is to educate and offer the latest in regulatory changes, industry news, technological advances and event announcements, empowering captains and crew to navigate their careers effectively while staying compliant with the ever-evolving maritime landscape.
First-hand expertise
What makes Dockwalk truly unique is their contributors – many are current or former crew members, providing invaluable, first-hand expertise on topics that matter most. Dockwalk shines a spotlight on those going above and beyond, whether they’re excelling within their roles or making a difference beyond the industry.
Dockwalk Crew Creator Awards
Dockwalk is proud to announce the first edition of the Dockwalk Crew Creator Awards, a new initiative designed to celebrate and recognise the exceptional achievements of yacht crew worldwide. This annual awards program aims to highlight the outstanding contributions of current and former crew, both within their professional roles and beyond. Entries are now open and will close on 10 January, 2025. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the events team.
Not-to-be missed events
Look out for Dockwalk’s exciting new expanded events calendar which will create even more opportunities for crew to connect and celebrate. We’ll be hosting a range of exclusive gatherings, including golf events in Bermuda, the inaugural Crew Creator Awards, and Captains’ Club events throughout the year. These are designed to build connections, recognise achievements and offer crew members the chance to unwind, network, and enjoy time off the yacht with peers.
