66: BOAT Briefing: What it's like to dive to the deepest point in the ocean

<div>This week we catch up with adventurer and superyacht owner Victor Vescovo, who has dived deeper than any other human being. We also discuss the boats that rang in New Year's Eve in St Barths, why watching Below Deck saved Christmas, and the final, and quite incredible, number of brokerage transactions recorded in 2021. In this week's news, meanwhile, we cover The Italian Sea Group's acquisition of Perini Navi and a novel new fully-electric catamaran concept from Rossinavi. In the data story this week, we look at the crew required to staff the growing numbers of superyachts hitting the water.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Superyachts in St Barths: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/yachts-in-st-barths-new-years-eve">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/yachts-in-st-barths-new-years-eve</a> </div> <div>Victor Vescovo: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-life/owners-experiences/yacht-owner-victor-vescovo">https://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-life/owners-experiences/yacht-owner-victor-vescovo</a> </div> <div>BOAT buys IBI: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/boat-international-boating-communications">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/boat-international-boating-communications</a> </div> <div>The Italian Sea Group awarded Perini Navi: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/business/news/italian-sea-group-offers-for-perini-navi">https://www.boatinternational.com/business/news/italian-sea-group-offers-for-perini-navi</a> </div> <div>Owners of Utopia IV speak after collision: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/rossinavi-superyacht-collision-utopia-iv-bahamas">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/rossinavi-superyacht-collision-utopia-iv-bahamas</a> </div> <div>Heesen launches 50m Aura: <a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/project-aura-revealed-by-heesen">https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/project-aura-revealed-by-heesen</a> </div> <div>Rossinavi Sea Cat 40: <a href="http
