While it might be hard for Captain Kerry to manage his crew while steering the mega yacht, he told Bravo Insider that he is “very in tune” with what’s going on with them below deck when they aren’t tending to charter guests. “I’m very in tune with my crew’s emotional steadiness, nervous system,” he said. “When you’ve been doing this job as long as I have, you know when something’s up. I might not know exactly what it is, but I know something’s up.”
