I’ve met a good few captains, chefs, barmen/girls, general hands in the irishbars down the south of France. The common thing I’ve been told seems to be... hard work but really good wages.
A good boss will even on your night off, throw you a couple of hundred quid as you hit the town. These are mostly bonafide millionaires or not far off so keeping the troops happy by putting your hand in your pocket for a grand so the folks can go have a bit of fun and shake off cabin fever is the done thing. |

you can pick up a second hand oil rig supply vessels for a million or two
Handles the roughest seas , has a crane and big flat deck at the back. Plonk down a marquee or caravan or helicopter or even an OT-64 SKOT 8×8 Amphibious Armoured Personnel Carrier for when you want to take a trip to the shops. |

The boats might circle around but the owners normally direct the yacht to be at a certain place on a certain day then they fly down to meet it where it is moored. It is fairly rare for the owner to sail on the yacht particularly on long voyages.

That's why I don't get the appeal of a private jet. You still have to go through passport controls, the only substantive difference is you don't have to queue, and have slightly more comfort on board (these benefits are hardly worth millions of euro). Give me a yacht bobbing on the azure blue waters off Malta or Antibes, or Lough Derg, any day. |
