A teenager who gets paid £1,000 a month to travel the world on millionaire's superyachts says it's often just like reality TV series Below Deck.
And she had to comply with unusual requests like serving a single banana on a silver platter and cleaning the boat from top-to-bottom every single day.But it meant she got to explore "glam" islands like Napoli and Mykonos, polish statues worth £200k and drink from £300 glasses during meals. She gets paid £3,000 - plus tips - per season, which usually lasts three months.
“There can’t be any specs of dust anywhere, and I had to take pictures of things like glass panels as soon as I'd cleaned them, so my boss could make sure it was done to a high standard. Every drinking glass has to be handled with gloves - we even had one guest who liked a banana every morning for his breakfast, and it had to be delivered to him on a silver platter.
“One day, a load of the water toys flew away - and we had to hop on jet skis to retrieve them! But luckily, the guests are always so lovely. They’re so kind and considerate - and I've never experienced any drama with them.” Brooke says guests and staff were unable to leave the ship unaccompanied for safety reasons. But she had a “great experience” - and took up lots of meticulous responsibilities while working.
