Description

In this episode of The Big BOAT Interview, BOAT’s Content Director Lucy Dunn sits down with trailblazing captain and ice pilot Maiwenn Beadle - the first woman ever to take a superyacht through the legendary Northwest Passage. From navigating ice-choked waters to balancing razor-sharp safety decisions with the pull of exploration, Beadle shares her insights into what it takes to operate in some of the planet’s most demanding environments. Beadle is taking part in the panel debate Are Permits Holding Back Exploration? at next week’s Explorer Yachts Summit at the Yacht Club de Monaco. Tickets are still available on Boatinternational.com
