How were these selections checked?
Research used publisher pages, platform episode listings, video descriptions, chapter lists and accessible transcripts. This is not a claim that every recording was watched or heard end-to-end. Each entry identifies the evidence available, and summaries stay within that evidence.
The selections favour practical explanations over yacht montages. Commercial affiliations are made visible: a broker or charter manager can provide valuable expertise without being an independent reviewer of the buyer’s proposed transaction. The credentials and affiliations below are those stated by the sources, rather than independently audited biographies.
Dates refer to the specific recording or listing identified. A publication date is not confirmation of current yacht availability, crew composition, tax treatment or charter terms.
