INTERNATIONAL Smuggler ROGER REAVES: EXCLUSIVE Untold Stories of the SEA | CATALINA CREW YACHTCAST
In this gripping episode of the Catalina Crew YACHTCAST, we sit down with Roger Reeves, an infamous international smuggler who’s spent decades navigating the dangerous waters of global trade—both legal and illegal. Roger opens up and tells us exclusive stories that have never been told about the key role the sea has played in shaping his life, from the boats he’s used to evade authorities, to the risks and rewards of smuggling across treacherous waters. Roger shares stories of the countless boats he’s piloted throughout his career—from small, fast dinghies to larger vessels—each one strategically chosen for its ability to outrun coastguards, survive the harsh elements, and transport goods across the globe. But it’s not all smooth sailing. Roger reveals how his last boat—an operation that seemed foolproof—was the one that ultimately led to his capture in Australia, marking the end of an era for one of the most elusive smugglers in modern history. This episode delves deep into the highs and lows of Roger’s life on the water, with wild stories of close calls, near-misses with the law, and the constant battle against the forces trying to take him down. Whether it’s the adrenaline of being pursued on the high seas, or the heartbreak of a failed mission, Roger’s candid insights will have you hooked from start to finish. From small, nimble crafts to larger, more complex vessels, Roger explains how each boat played a key role in his smuggling empire. What makes this episode even more thrilling is that it was filmed on board the legendary Northwind 130-foot Pre War vessel, a ship with a rich history of its own. The Northwind hosted historical figures like Winston Churchill ,Queen Elizabeth and Jackie Kennedy and even played a role at the Exxon Valdez disaster. Roger’s life of high-stakes smuggling comes to life on a boat that has its own incredible history, creating the perfect backdrop for this intense interview. This episode is a must-listen for fans of true crime, maritime history, and high-stakes adventure. Roger’s personal journey from smugglers’ ships to redemption is nothing short of extraordinary.
