Crew Collective: A Crew Wellness Initiative
In prep for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2026 and to support you all in your continuous efforts in this industry, the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry is bringing together a morning dedicated to the crew community on Monday, 26th October 2026:

10:30AM - 11:15AM - Ask the Shoreside: Safe space to ask open-ended questions that keep you up at night, out of curiosity, or maybe a situation you or a friend have been in, for shoreside support to respond.

Questions are anonymously asked from those raised during registration or can be asked publicly on the day-of.
