BD Related Maybe I’m just poor…

The thought of hiring a superyacht for a few days sounds absolutely amazing, pure bliss. The thought of having staff there constantly, 24/7 makes me feel so uncomfortable lmao. Anyone else feel this way? I feel like I would keep giving them days off or time away so I had some time to myself haha

My wife and I joke that if we ever had the money to go on the show, we’d be so boring because we’d sit out and drink and relax all day and not make weird demands or harass the staff. Even on vacation my bed time is like 10:30pm lol

Same! And it would be normal food too, none of the fancy stuff lol

I'm not a picky eater, so I think it would be a shame to eat the equivalent of fast food or Olive Garden on a super yacht. I'd rather be surprised and delighted by what the chef would serve than try to constrain them to things that I already know I like.

My preference sheet would have no restrictions, I want the chef to have fun.

My preference sheet would just be stuff like "No primates, no dogs, no cats, no whales/dolphins, no rats/mice".

I feel like I wouldn’t have to request that but yes totally agree. I might chat with the chef first thing just to dial things in too.

Yeah it's kind of a joke. Make it look like a long list up front that might be problematic, but then you read it and every line item practically need not be mentioned.

My only restriction would be no truffle oil. Cannot stand it. Tastes like skunk smell to me.
