#65 Sun Exposure at Sea: What Every Crewmember Should Know

Life on a superyacht often means long hours outdoors, making sun exposure an unavoidable part of the job. While a tan or occasional sunburn may seem harmless, repeated UV exposure can have lasting consequences for your skin health.

In this episode, Lorraine is joined by Susanna Daniels, CEO of Melanoma Focus, to discuss the realities of working in the sun, the misconceptions that can leave people at risk, and the practical steps crew can take to protect themselves both now and in the years ahead.

Why melanoma rates are rising and why most cases are preventable
The risks associated with working outdoors and spending long periods on deck
Why more than five sunburns in a lifetime can significantly increase melanoma risk
The importance of SPF 30+, broad-spectrum protection and regular reapplication
Common sunscreen mistakes and how to avoid them
The truth about tanning, sunbeds and the myth of a "base tan"
Vitamin D and finding the right balance between sun protection and overall health
Eye protection, sunglasses and UV exposure
Tanning injections, nasal sprays and the risks associated with unregulated products
How to recognise the warning signs of melanoma and why early detection matters

Protect your skin and check your skin.

By understanding the UV Index, wearing appropriate protection and being aware of any changes to your skin, you can significantly reduce your risk while continuing to enjoy life at sea.
