In this episode of Forward Watch , host Karine Rayson speaks with Benjamin Maltby of Keystone Law about one of the most misunderstood legal issues in the superyacht industry: NDAs and crew rights. NDAs have a legitimate purpose. They can protect owner privacy, itineraries, commercial information, security details, and family confidentiality. But they cannot be used to prevent the reporting of criminal conduct. This conversation examines the line between protecting privacy and covering up wrongdoing, from social media breaches, drug use onboard, assault, hush money, unfair dismissal, and lifetime confidentiality clauses, to injuries, overwork, death onboard, and the complex question of which law applies when flag state, port state, and crew nationality overlap. Benjamin is clear that he speaks from the perspective of English law and that this discussion does not constitute legal advice. But for crew, captains, managers, owners, and DPAs, the wider message is vital: legal documents should be understood, not feared, and confidentiality must never become a shield for unsafe practice, abuse, or silence. Because protecting privacy matters. Protecting people matters more. In this episode, you’ll hear about: • What NDAs are actually designed to protect in yachting • Whether an NDA can stop crew from reporting crime or abuse • What happens when crew breach confidentiality rules • Why social media can create privacy and security risks • How criminal conduct should be reported onboard • Why retaliation after reporting may lead to unfair dismissal claims • What lifetime confidentiality really means • When hush money can become legally dangerous • Which law may appl…","meta_description":"Can an NDA stop yacht crew from reporting crime, abuse, harassment, unsafe working conditions, or wrongdoing onboard?
