  I&apos;m not sure why I was even watching this. As a 61 year old, next month, i don&apos;t think I&apos;ll be applying for a junior deckhand position....nor would I get the job!!!! But as you tube viewer I absolutely love this. Good luck to all the young people who go for this...what a career it can be.....and for those that don&apos;t turn into a career then what an experience it will be.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/40yearsinaviation">#40yearsinaviation</a>

  Very interesting video. Two of my nieces worked on superyachts and for the most part loved it. Thd only bad experience one had was working on the vessel of a Russian billionaire who was so unpleasant he couldn’t keep crew. The other niece married the first officer of her last ship. When the owners heard about the coming marriage, they gave her a £5000 bonus and the wife loaned her the most beautiful diamond jewellery to set off her wedding dress. There was a very warm, family feeling on board the ship. When they had their first baby, my niece retired. Her husband now captains a superyacht in the Mediterranean.

  I enjoyed your YouTube posting. &nbsp;I&apos;ve watched these private yacht postings for a couple of years and always laugh at how times have changed.<br><br>I&apos;m 87. &nbsp;During my teens my friend and I used to hang around at a marina in New York. &nbsp;We&apos;d offer to wash down yachts for $10.00 each. &nbsp;Sometimes we would crew on a Saturday or Sunday for about $20.00. &nbsp;This was the 1950s and ten and 20 bucks was good money.<br><br>One day the captain, a retired WW2 destroyer captain, asked us if we&apos;d be willing to crew on the yacht from NY to Montreal and return for $100.00 each. &nbsp;WoW! &nbsp;Absolutely. &nbsp;We did and had a ball. &nbsp;The owner was a man in the Broadway theater business and his guests were people in the business. &nbsp;Everyone tipped us at the end of the trip.<br><br>We had no course, no schooling, just a couple of Coast Guard courses. &nbsp;I&apos;ll bet most crews in those times did not have licenses of any kind. &nbsp;What we did have was a great teacher and hard work.<br><br>Keep posting as your posts are marvelous.

  You forgot to mention that looks matter. Most yacht crewmembers, especially the women, look like supermodels.

  You need to do a follow up video for what I call the hotel side. &nbsp;Then one for culinary. &nbsp;Then the engineers.

  You forgot the hush money that needs to be paid for the staff for the &quot;crazy&quot; stuff that goes on.....👀

  One thing to consider aside from pay is the breadth of experience you expect to gain from your role as on smaller vessels you will be more of a generalist while bigger yachts tend to have more standardized/specialized roles. <br>Also smaller yachts and sailing yachts can either feel slightly more casual or appear less flexible regarding your work hours (as there are less colleagues to share the work load with) so make sure to find a yacht where you blend in and like the culture aboard.
