Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our yacht medical services
What qualifications do your maritime medical staff have?
Our maritime medical professionals possess a combination of advanced healthcare qualifications and specialized maritime experience. All physicians have emergency medicine backgrounds, and many have served in naval medicine or on cruise ships. Our nurses and medics hold advanced certifications in emergency care, and all staff undergo specific training in maritime medicine, including handling medical emergencies in remote locations, motion sickness management, and evacuation procedures. Additionally, all medical personnel are trained in maritime safety protocols and hold relevant maritime certifications.
How do you handle medical emergencies in remote locations?
Our approach to remote medical emergencies involves multiple layers of support. Onboard medical staff are equipped with advanced emergency medical equipment and pharmaceuticals. Our 24/7 telemedicine service provides immediate access to emergency medicine specialists who can guide treatment. We maintain relationships with medical evacuation services worldwide and can coordinate helicopter or boat transfers when necessary. Our global network includes remote medical facilities in popular yachting regions, and we provide detailed medical port-of-call information to help captains make informed decisions during emergencies.
What medical equipment do you recommend for different sizes of yachts?
Our equipment recommendations are tailored to vessel size, typical passenger count, voyage duration, and cruising regions. For smaller yachts (under 30m), we typically recommend comprehensive first aid kits, AEDs, emergency medication kits, and telemedicine capabilities. Medium-sized yachts (30-60m) benefit from dedicated medical areas with diagnostic equipment, expanded pharmaceutical inventories, and basic surgical capabilities. Large yachts (over 60m) can accommodate full medical suites with advanced diagnostic equipment, treatment rooms, and isolation capabilities. All recommendations comply with maritime regulations while exceeding minimum requirements for safety and comprehensive care.
Can you provide medical staff for a single voyage or event?
Yes, we regularly provide medical professionals for single voyages, special events, or specific charter periods. Whether you need coverage for a weekend cruise, a multi-week ocean crossing, or a season in a particular region, we can arrange appropriate medical staffing. Our short-term medical staff undergo the same rigorous vetting as our permanent placements and are selected based on the specific requirements of your voyage or event. We ensure seamless integration with your crew and can provide staff with additional skills such as languages relevant to your destination or experience with particular medical conditions of passengers.
How do you manage prescription medications for passengers and crew during extended voyages?
Our prescription management service addresses the challenges of medication access during extended voyages. Prior to departure, we conduct a comprehensive review of all required medications for passengers and crew, ensuring adequate supplies for the planned duration plus a contingency reserve. We coordinate with physicians and pharmacies to arrange proper documentation for international waters and ports. For controlled substances, we ensure compliance with maritime regulations and international laws. During the voyage, our medical staff or telemedicine service monitors medication usage and can arrange for replenishment at appropriate ports of call, with advance coordination to prevent any interruption in treatment.
