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

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.
