Super-Yacht-Stories
Here are some stories from a sailor who worked on superyachts for many years. These true stories from my experiences will entertain and amaze you. You won't believe what many of these people get up to on these massive boats, and most of the stories are about the crew as opposed to the owners! These stories are entirely true. The names of those involved have been changed to protect the guilty and innocent alike; everything else is as it happened. The names of boats and crew cannot be divulged for obvious reasons. Working on Super-yachts or Mega-yachts is a great job. You get paid well and get to travel, but it can also be an absolute nightmare. Working and living in a small area with people you may dislike or even hate. One thing is for sure: some good stories will come out of it! Please enjoy.

This story is from when I first started working as a sailor on superyachts (Mega Yachts). The crew of luxury yachts will often stay in crewhouses, which are budget-friendly basic accommodation like a hostel, while they are between jobs.
The following story takes place in a crew house in Antibes (South of France). All the strange events that happened occurred in the day and there was certainly no alcohol involved.
This story is about when I worked on a sailing super yacht and the other deckhand had a medical problem, which he needed my help with. Working as a sailor on large yachts can often be very interesting and make amazing stories for people to listen to and be entertained with.
