A young yachtie took to TikTok to reveal how, despite looking glamorous, living and working on a luxury yacht is “hard work”.
She explains that she and five other staff members on board have their own rooms.

“Basically our job is to travel, clean and serve guests in whatever beautiful destination they want to go to,” she says over footage of her busy day-to-day.
While she admits that it can be “hard work”, she also explains that the role has its perks.
It certainly looks as much fun as being a submarine pilot or flying a private jet – with its enticing salary.
When the guests disembark, she says that her job enables her to “explore wherever we are in the world”.
‘Thatyachtiegirl’, real name, Emery, then lists the Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Bahamas as some of the stunning places she’s visited.
This is demonstrated with footage of her dancing, swimming in the ocean, and meeting some of the underwater locals.
But, if you fancy seeing the world with your OOO firmly on, you can also get inspiration from the man who created an unbelievable ‘truck house’ to travel around Alaska.
What’s more, the most luxurious trains in the world allows you to see the world without working up a sweat.
Emery explains her motivation for going into the industry.
“I wanted to work and travel right after college,” she said.
“And this job has allowed me to do just that and more.”
In a response to one of her follower’s comments saying she wanted to go into yachting, Emery details the necessary qualifications.
You’ll need Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW).
Plus a medical certification is needed to work on board, called ENG1.
Emery tells her followers she has more information via the link in her bio.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
