Should you just put all your money into a tracker fund? It’s popular advice. It’s not bad advice, but it’s not the best advice. Find out why…
When it comes to your financial future and your financial success, actions speak louder than words. Many people talk about leaving yachting with enough money to help them fund the next stage of their life. But relatively few turn the words into deeds. It’s not just superyacht crew. Everyone’s life is littered with unfulfilled goals….
Here’s a stupid question: Who wants to be a millionaire? (As long as the currency is a sensible one, of course.) Let’s face it, the only people who don’t want to be a millionaire are multi-millionaires and billionaires. So it’s a stupid question. Besides, most superyacht crew say they want to be a millionaire, but…
When you work on a superyacht, you’re going to come into contact with two classes of people. Those who have financial freedom and those who don’t. You probably know them better as ‘the owner and the guests’ and ‘your crewmates’. So how do you get from one side of the divide to the other? How…

Have you seen the meme with Denzel Washington? The one that questions your very existence as superyacht crew? This one: It’s one of ours. Maybe you know it, maybe you don’t. Regardless, you probably do recognise the truth of what it says. The truth that you work in a world that isn’t actually yours, even…
Here’s something you’ve probably never been told before: Investment without purpose is meaningless. Here’s another one: Money is boring. Taken together, they are the two main reasons why for many superyacht crew investing is not only a wasted opportunity, but likely to fail miserably as well.
