Wright Maritime Group and Westrec Marinas are underwriting crewmembers in the yacht industry by providing a year of free membership in the International Superyacht Society.

“ISS welcomes Wright Maritime’s and Westrec Marinas’ approach to sponsoring yacht crew membership as an entrance to the ISS and its global reach,” ISS president Bob Saxon said in a statement. “ISS believes the industry benefits by crew influence and crew benefits by establishing important long-term relationships with top industry influencers.”

“The industry is served by providing yacht crew with pathways to contribute in the development of industry standards, facilitated through relationships with industry leaders,” WMG’s captain AJ Anderson and Westrec’s Gary Groenewold jointly added. “Our companies are honored to underwrite ISS’s innovative approach to building sustainability in our most important resource — the human factor.”
