“We left our jobs to work on 22 million pounds of superyachts and with £ 1,700 tips to travel the world”

A young couple has taken off their minimum wages for working on 22 million pounds super yachts … and receive up to £ 1,700 per week in tips alone.

The 20 -year -old Kyle Forster worked as a lifeguard swimmer and Phoebe Robinson (21) in a B&B before she started crashes last year to learn how to work on superyachts.

The courses lasted between two and three weeks and costs up to 3,800 GBP. But then they received jobs as a crew with a yacht 22.7 million GBP in France, quadrupled their previous profits to 2,500 GBP per month and also received up to 1,700 GBP per week in tips … with all the expenses paid.

So far, they have earned £ 45,000 between them – and this is a tax relief for employees for employees outside of Great Britain due to the profit deduction.

It is inexpensive – you work up to 17 hours a day – but Forster of Poole, Dorset, said: “We feel very happy. We are well paid and have so many incredible experiences.

“We were both stuck a bit and none of us enjoyed things as they were.

“I never thought in a million years that I could do something so clear to do something like that that gives me so much pleasure.”

Forster, who visited a superyacht cover handle with the maritime training company Flugfisch, learned how to clean yachts, be a viewpoint, a motorized, grubby, pulling a Waterski.

Robinson from Marlborough, Wiltshire, completed a superyacht stewad and a steward training course with the UKSA and said: “At school I never really knew what I wanted to do, I never found my thing.

“My parents and grandparents are really exhausting, they encouraged me to think outside of my comfort zone, so I decided to do so.

“I have had the most amazing experiences. We are basically paid for traveling the world. We feel very happy.”

Last year they sailed on three boats in the Mediterranean and in the Caribbean, although in Croatia their boat was hit by a 15-minute agony with 80 km / h windows and huge hailstones, with Robinson bled on her legs.

After the duo has spent nine months on the water for various yachtjobs since the beginning of its company, they are now watching its next seafaring trip -a job on a 29 -m motor yacht from ST Tropez that starts next month.

On days when the boats are used, they work up to 17 hours from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. and serve the owners and guests. Typical customers are entrepreneurs and have video game developers and founders of the broadband company.

If there are no guests on board, they work down 10 hours and prepare cabins.

Forster added: “You will receive amazing prospects and experiences, but not days off. If the season is over, you are ready for a break, but it's still amazing.

“It is also not easy. In January 2024 we must have applied for over 1,000 jobs.”
