yeah so crew accommodation now on new builds it's the yeah it's stunning um there are regulations it has to go by like I said there's crew gyms you have crew like lounges a lot of these crew lounges are you know like playstation games car simulations like crew get looked after and like the longer you're on board boats will pay for your courses so if you want to work your way up to become a captain they'll pay for that my boat to make it fair because obviously as the interior we don't have a lot of
interior crew it's kind of like once you reach the top there's only so long you stay in that role then you're kind of done unless you know unless you want to become a captain or something but that's not that's on deck so um my boat that money that would go to doing those courses we were allowed to put that money to do anything ourselves so i could learn a language or i could go to my skydiving course and the boat would pay for it to make it equal for all crew members so yeah we're spoiled little brats we do work our asses off yeah what's an average day
On charter, off charter?
On charter is when we have guests on board.
So either the owner or on trip is like with the boss on board or you have charter guests on board, then off charter is like.
this is when people think we do absolutely fucking nothing and we work just as hard, the hours are just a little bit nicer.
So like, a normal day on charter, by the end of it, I think one of the last days I actually did, before leaving my last boat, I did a 21 hour day, which technically is legal.
But on average, I think I was doing about a 16-hour day every single day for months on end.
As crew members, legally, it's 14 hours.
But it always goes over because there's just always something to do.
When you have guests on, you're running around like a headless chicken.
I think I've always quite been myself, even on the show and everything.
I don't...
I think I'm quite an authentic person, but no, like obviously I used to get a lot of shit for the way we say things.
I think that's just an accent thing.
But no, I always had a very, I think more casual approach to dealing with guests.
A lot of boats like a real formal, but all the boats I've worked on, they want it to be a bit more casual.
And like, you just, I don't know.
It's just being polite, right?
You know, your basic manners, you know how to treat people and what to call them and stuff like that.
