Super Yacht Crew Accommodation

[@jaredwatney]

Taking the time to just thank you guys for the support on this channel. Looking for ways to do these types of videos on a variety of yachts and see if we can make this KZbin channel more of a full time thing. A reminder... I have close to 30 videos to release of daily life on board this yacht. Coming soon!

[@jcreynolds4919]

Dude! how on earth did you guys get to having a couple's job?. Me and bf are looking for a couples job very badly on the yachts. Please advice us. I would be so greatfull.

Looks comfier than a crew birth on an airliner.

Soooo what you saying is u bussing yo sinus beans on the bosses 10000 count pillow covers and tossing dem gooey sheets in the wash before boss get their no lie master bedroom is best.

Thank you Shawn. i try take pride in everything i do

[@rachelhough8005]

I just graduated in hospitality management and my dream job for about 4 years has been to become a chief stewardess, so seeing this really interests me! thank you for posting I love all of your content and the training giveaways are so generous of you. happy new year!

[@David-jj7dy]

This guy is very cute and energetic. He speaks clear and well in his videos. He's has a certain quality of charm about his relating his experience . Would still like to see more of the actual yachts interiors he's caring for . maybe it be nice to have a short audio of his relation to other crew and maybe primary charter guest if allowed. Overall good view

[@dougbourdo2589]

Good video.Professional. Not just a gripe session. I respect that. I applaud you. I could not do that.

[@semv]

How can you smashh?? And that place would be soo freaking cramped for me bc im 6 foot 5

[@motorworld2513]

KingGames they will just smash it out and then go to sleep in separate beds

[@christurner6854]

you might want to pursue a different job

[@Marko-od7eb]

From a perspective of someone who worked on cruise ships, these cabins are awsome :) Everyhing is clean and new, you have windows (?!!?), and it's unimaginable for my bathroom to have a window, glass doors or wooden floors. Nice video...

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you man! Yes completely agree with you hence me saying in repeat... no complaints at all. In fact, im lucky

[@nauticnomad]

Love how you started off in the guest cabin!

[@hottubz1965]

You are on your way to a quality channel. You have skillz!

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you so much man! You have no idea how happy a comment like that makes me!

[@Mar-rk3yg]

Really great content with quality filming ! You're channel is going to blow up!

[@jaredwatney]

Thats very kind! I have grown almost 4k in the last 2 months so it feels pretty blown up already, but thank you Marcello

[@rinsealtena5736]

Hi Jared, great content! Im a student Yacht design and your video’s give a Nice view of how The crew, and you in particular, are using the yacht. Which gives good insight in how to design specific areas, Thanks :)

[@SixthEstateAZ]

Howdy Jared! I Stumbled across your channel via SV Delos channel (World Cruisers on a 55 Amel Ketch). Your job was my dream back as a young guy. I did some transatlantic deliveries and US Cruising. I chose a career in Nursing, 33 years later, about to retire and ready to cruise again. Love your well made and interesting videos! Peace!

[@Spartan2155]

Even though it's a cramped cabin it seems much nicer than most boats, better than nothing and I bet it's worth every bit of experience, that's really cool bro

[@jaredwatney]

Thank you Skyler. I have no complaints and the experience is great. I do look forward to home though :)

[@lewisariki6396]

Love your vids thank you! My brother was for years in the south of France as an engineer, it’s awsome to finally see this perspective! Sending love from Australia

[@valhalla3595]

I wish your crew cabin had a larger port hole. The most likely fire starts in the galley. The captain of Bonaire ordered all ports to be large enough to escape thru. After witnessing a yacht go down with all the crew trapped in the forward section (night time galley fire) in Baha, Mexico. keep a small chain saw in your cabin for emergency exit!

[@jaredwatney]

Ye Bill. Its no joke. Trust me I will get out that escape hatch if i need to

[@noname-tj3rp]

Did all the crew get out???

[@projektfist6258]

That's some old school Victorian era sailing right there. It's like not having enough lifeboats for all crew and passengers because steerage and lower ranked crew will be locker below decks in the event of an emergency. smh. . .

[@ghostmanGTFO]

@@noname-tj3rp he said all the crew were trapped on board. R.i.p.

[@uwelindstaedt1050]

I did my service with 16 people in one room at a Fast Patrol Boat during weeks and I feel your accomodation is very comfortable. Nothing to complain.

[@Tshasta4449]

Really enjoy watching your video’s. I love boats of all kinds and my wife and I sail on Princess cruises 2 or 3 times a year. I can simpathize with you on your living arrangement . I live in the States and my job is driving a chemical tanker through out the US and Canada. My work area and living quarters are about the size of your cabin, although I don’t have a shower or head. I have stayed out on the road for up to 4 months before taking time off to be home, so I know how you feel. Good luck on your next adventure .

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

Do guests ever ask for a tour of the crew areas, engine room, wheel house and any other service areas? If I was ever on a boat like this, the engine room would probably be the highlight. New subscriber, thanks for sharing.

[@ghostmanGTFO]

Engine is the captains job to show off

[@Allinho2008]

Great vid bro! Hey just wandering what your crew meals are like? Or do you eat the same food that’s served to the owner of the boat?

[@giuseppediguardo4787]

He did eat

[@shawntravelstheworld911]

That's crazy! You should have a confined space permit and a hole watch for bed:)

[@fasst27]

Looks almost like a Benetti... Worked on a 2017 125ft. Now on an older (1986) 127ft. Cabin sizes apparently don't change. Glad to see some cool videos.)

[@jaredwatney]

Its Italian so i suppose similar but in my opinion its better looking

[@lgriestra]

Great! Show everything, galley, food storage, fly bridge, engine room, etc.

[@jaredwatney]

Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately, there has to be a certain level of privacy kept. Lots of other vids coming though

[@lgriestra]

Don't worry, take your time.

[@quentinhoussier3900]

You've reminded me of my dream job from when I was like 12 years old ! Can't wait to do it (I'm 21 now so I could !) THANKS !!

[@jaredwatney]

Only a pleasure my friend 🙌🏼

[@spoggie37]

Dude and here I thaught our beds and cabins are small, this makes me appreciate my living space on the ship so much

[@kj3rd2657]

I know how you feel! Because when I was a crew member on cargo ships, my room was small and had to share the rest room. Now I am a engineer, my room is bigger where 3 kings size beds can fit in plus still have room to move around.

[@ericduany2809]

Hey Jared, really enjoying your videos. I have a request if possible. Can you do a video around the garage/tender area? I've always been obsessed with how these large yachts have mini garages and it is one of my favorite parts when checking them out. Unfortunately, I appear to be in the minority because most pictures/videos barely feature them. Barring any privacy concerns, could you possibly focus on this part, as well as the tender launch and recovery?

[@jaredwatney]

Hi Eric. Thank you so much for the compliment. With the video series coming up, I have quite a lot of footage with the garage being shown. I wont lie, we dont have a lot of toys in board. The owner is an older guy so toys arnt a priority. That being said, I will make sure I talk a bit on the garage.

[@ericduany2809]

Thanks for the reply. By the way another youtube channel I think you would love is FlemingYachts. They produce some really great documentaries, such as going from Seattle south through the canal and to the Atlanta coast of Canada. It is a good combination of yachting and sightseeing.

[@shannons1886]

Well done, sir! Finally, the internet gets a decent video showing the crew area! I'll like and subscribe, and join ya on your journey for a bit.

[@jeroendewaal1205]

Hi Jared, Although you do not have the biggest (cabin). I've actually been on new builds out of 2017 and 2018 about this size (30-40m) which have far - not kidding - far smaller crew areas. From my experience the cabins actually don't always increase in size when the yacht increases in size, it really depends on the owner/designer of the yacht. Keep up the vlogs, love it! If you are ever (dry)docked in the Netherlands, give me a shout if you need anything!

[@emptypromise]

The short and skinny crew is a happy crew. Cool video.

[@jforester7]

Kind of surprised to not see any hurricane straps on the racks. Granted I doubt you all purposely sail through storms regularly, but still having that strap on my coffin rack while I was in the Navy(U.S.) was definitely reassuring during heavy seas. Great videos mate!

[@jaredwatney]

Hey Jason. I mean this in the most respectful way ( to the boat builders ) If this thing had to hit weather that would require straps, i assure you this thing would go down man haha! Its a fair weather boat made only for the Med in my opinion

[@jforester7]

For sure man! I guess I'm just used to slightly more "extreme" boating lol.

[@brianor46]

The sea owl is in the marina I work at! I'm just on a 90 foot yacht as the mate.

[@jaredwatney]

No Way! Shes a beauty hey

[@Daihatsu_Hijet]

I could totally live on that. I’ve seen smaller and really depressing crew quarters on yacht tours even on larger boats. The better the crew areas make for a better crew happier crew overall.

[@jpguthrie6669]

Reminds me of a hotel room I once rented in the Latin Quarter of Paris. I had to be careful moving in the shower so as not to turn the water full hot or full cold, and if I had to take a leak, the toilet was only half a step away, and I could pee into it from the shower without splashing on the floor.

[@123thesniperdude123]

From my experience from yacht management. Crew area are private. We don’t show it in the diagram neither to outsiders and allowed to know about it. Better check with the Captain and Yacht Management company, you may have just violated the agreement. There’s etiquettes to adhere too.

[@jaredwatney]

Haha. Sorry Mr Eaglenoob.

[@jaredwatney]

Every video is known about. This is a private yacht but ANYONE can go visit the Monaco boat show and see the exact same boat as this one. All crew are aware of the videos and I have not signed a non disclosure form as there is no need for one.

[@mebcn5850]

its really small! I had been in a boat, with horrible owners and horrible crew haha, and the only good thing, was the crew area with quite big cabins, beds were big and enough space to keep your things. Locker was big with 3 drawers and more space on the top, as well as a small desk. Then the batroom was separated in 2, the bathroom has a huge locker and then, the shower even had a seat to shower comfortable. The officers cabin were even bigger and crew area was below, with all 6 cabins together. Crew laundry was there and totally separated from guests laundry. Then crew mess was big as well. So far, was the best crew accomodations I knew. that was the only good thing...

[@rickbourne1376]

Universally _white_ -- brave or a challenge... _I just had a positively brilliant idea:_ Affix an ultra wide angle lens to your camera (if it can accept replaceable lenses). This will make any space seem palatial. You on your 500 meter yacht....
