Caroline Blatter: Love, Loss & The Superyacht Services Guide Story

Caroline Blatter — The Human Story Behind Trusted Superyacht Services

Caroline Blatter, Founder and Director of The Superyacht Services Guide, joins Cherise Reedman to share a remarkable path into yachting that began far from the docks of Europe. Trained as a physiotherapist and raised across Argentina and Brussels, Caroline stepped onboard through a decade-defining love story — and found herself helping to build one of the most recognized service directories in the global superyacht world.

What followed was not a brochure version of life at sea. Caroline recounts sailing 90-foot Zana two-handed with her husband Andrew, listening to crew across the Med and Caribbean, and turning their insight into a platform captains could actually trust when booking engineers, provisioners, finance advisers, and refit yards — especially when “yacht tax” and skepticism travel with every vessel.

Years later the family faced a different ocean entirely: young-onset dementia. Caroline speaks with honesty about diagnosis under 65, caregiving with four children at home, Andrew’s legacy, and why the next chapter matters — her son Tristan Devlin Blass stepping into the business and carrying forward a crew-verified mission that performance algorithms cannot dismiss.

The episode delivers high-intent keywords for: trusted yacht services, superyacht crew life, family dynamics in yachting, maritime training, and next-generation leadership across Monaco, Palma, Antibes, Antigua, Fort Lauderdale, and beyond.
