May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Captain Glenn Shephard has had an impressive career in yachting, and he has the resume to prove it. According to Distractify, the Montreal native has been in the industry for 20 years. His Bravo profile indicates that he fell in love with the profession while working as a deckhand on a 50-foot classic sailboat. After that, he never looked back. According to Decider, Shephard spent nine months on a motor yacht before switching to a sailboat; since then, it's all literally been smooth sailing. Shephard has served as the captain on Parsifal III for 11 years, which means that he's hosted more rich guests than we could even begin to count.

When asked about the differences between superyachts and motorboats, Shephard explained it like the pro he is. "Sailing, it's about the journey, getting there. It's fun, it's more physical, and I guess there's a little more romance to the sailing side of it. And it's nothing against motor yachts, motor yachts are great," he told Distractify. "But I've always preferred, all my buddies, all my friends, we're all into sailing. It's a smaller segment of the superyacht industry, but there's something special about it."

In true captain fashion, Captain Glenn also shared that tipping boats are nothing to worry about, simply calling it "another day at the office."
