You work on a super yacht?
What's it like? A day in the life?
Not like below decks. Professional, dedicated and enthusiastic individuals from all backgrounds, united by a passion for adventure and self development. Hard work, but offers opportunities to experience things not available to most. Essentially a 9-5 without guests, and 24/7 with them.What's it like? A day in the life?

How many days a year do you get inconvenienced by having the owner onboard.
Apart from keeping it ship shape what else do you do with the time you're waiting for guests to be onboard?
For us 30-60 days. Maintenance, upgrades and cleaning mostly. Training with 3rd party providers too.Apart from keeping it ship shape what else do you do with the time you're waiting for guests to be onboard?

Ever had someone blag their way onboard?
Is your cabin big enough to swing a cat, or are you bunked up with several sweaty sailors?
Not personally, but it happens. Usually another drunk yachtie.Is your cabin big enough to swing a cat, or are you bunked up with several sweaty sailors?
Cabins are shared at for junior ranks. Seniors tend to have their own. Big enough, but not palatial.

What would be the best way for a secret agent to escape the boat after being told your employer’s evil world domination plans?
The escape tunnel, then climb down the anchor chain. All of our anchors are fitted with breathing devices and can detach to become mini-subs.sherman said:
Has it ever been scraped or crashed into another boat or harbour when parking/leaving.
If so what were the consequences? Gulag?
Nope, but it happens. Damage is repaired, and money rarely an issue. Loss of use of the boat is a bigger problem. Often results in a sideways move, but as long as not gross incompetence then rarely any consequences.If so what were the consequences? Gulag?
