In this episode of Itโ€™s Ben a Week, Iโ€™m recapping my insane Caribbean yacht trip, from the luxury and debauchery to the near medical emergency that almost had me airlifted off the boat.

We cover:

  • The over-the-top yacht experienceโ€”how the crew packs your bags better than you do
  • How a tiny scratch turned into a full-blown arm infection that nearly ruined the trip
  • The moment I realized my elbow was the size of a grapefruit and made a terrible medical mistake
  • St. Barts, Nikki Beach, and a cabaret show that would scandalize America
  • How we accidentally kidnapped a hermit crab, only to possibly send him to his doom

This was supposed to be the ultimate luxury vacation, but between an infection, medical mishaps, and bad decisions, it turned into something straight out of a reality show. Listen now to hear it all.
