Escaping the Flames of Maui

Captain Chrissy saves lives escaping Lahaina Harbor during Maui fires.

Captain Chrissy Lovitt, a local and seasoned mariner out of Lahaina Harbor, and her story of how she saved two 5- and 6-year-old children has spread all across the news. However, in this podcast, we wanted to go deeper and really understand what happened at the harbor and the rest of the town that day. This way, we can truly grasp an idea of what Lahaina is going through and how they are picking up the pieces today. Captain Chrissy herself is a significant part of the healing process. Not only is she housing several victims of the fire who lost their own homes, but she’s also actively working to get another boat, so she can begin running much-needed supplies to her people. Let’s hear this story in her own words.

The cover art features an illustrated scene of a young boy in a life jacket driving a small white dinghy down a winding river toward a bright red setting sun, surrounded by lush green shoreline trees.

Editor-in-Chief Dan Harding pens a children’s book that he hopes might just inspire the next generation of Power & Motoryacht readers.

When Adventurers Become Rescuers

The crew of the expedition yacht Iceberg set out to explore one of the world’s least-visited corners—and found themselves leading a disaster relief mission instead.
