We chatted with First Officer Tom about how he got started in yachting and what a typical day might look like for an exterior crew. (Hint: there’s nothing typical about it!) He’s got some great tales of the highs and lows of working...

Welcome to our latest feature on the real life of superyacht crew! Today we’re diving into the world of women working on deck. Historically, the deckhand job had been a man’s position, but like so many things in our society, that’s started to change.

We spoke with Sophs, a veteran deck crew, about how her experience has changed over time -- and what you might expect working a deckhand job today -- as a guy OR a gal.

Sophs, thanks so much for chatting to us...

However, it’s never too late for...

Welcome back, FreshYacht Insiders!

Today we’re featuring the story of Aldrey - a Jamaican Engineer who took his interest and aptitude for fixing things to a career on luxury superyachts.  

Aldrey tells us why he enjoys engineering (including a fun story or two!), why you don’t necessarily need a fancy degree to succeed in this field, the most important characteristic to be a good engineer and his top destinations on the yachting circuit!

It’s the holiday season for many cultures around the world, which means that if you’re far from home on a superyacht, you might be wondering how you can feel festive when you’re not able to see your family or close mates.

How can you make the most of the holiday...

One of the perks of working on a Superyacht is exploring global destinations that may be a bit off the beaten track.
