- “The reality of it is you are clearing up rooms that have just had sex parties, orgies and prostitutes.”
A deckhand reveals the less than glamorous lifestyle of being yacht staff for the super rich. Throughout his career he has worked months on end without days off, seen colleagues sexually harassed and often is left clearing up after sex parties and coke binges. He describes clients' ridiculous requests, and expectations, and just how far people are pushed, sometimes even leading to fatalities.
Informer is a series where we hear the anonymised confessions and insights of people on the inside of different industries, institutions and events.

It seems that being insanely rich combined with a lack of consequences for amoral behaviour really shines a bright light on the insanity of the human ego.

@@A-ROD-oe8wl as if anything has changed since bush in 2001... that's kinda how establishments work..
Ok, putting politics aside, they're only getting away with it because these people allow it. No one is putting a gun to their head and telling them to work on these yachts. My guess is they're all getting paid very, VERY well to put up with this bullshit and I'm sure the men get access to tons of sex. If they were smart, they'd save every penny, work for ten years, then retire and live the quite (edit: quiet) life in Central America.

I hope the people who share their stories on your "Informer" videos have their identity put to safe place.

No this is all theater. It's not actually real. Possibly stuff like this happens but this is all just fiction
@@vivelajonny or they just did it in the past
@@squeezemebabyonemoretime These are actors
I went to Europe to work on the super yachts about 15 years ago. I even did an expensive maritime course to prepare myself, however just as I was about to apply for jobs a friend of mine, who had worked in the industry, advised me against it. For some reason I just believed her and trusted her judgement. I wasn't even disappointed, but instead relieved. I still believe she saved me a lot of pain and suffering. You see, I have a pretty good moral code and a sunny disposition and I feel that working in this industry probably would have broken my spirit and worse. I'm glad things worked out the way they did.
You just can’t know, and you would never know. She might have stopped you from having the best time of your life, and a life-lasting career, along with the chance to travel the world over. But hey, good for you, and for your “Good Moral Code” dude. Whatever that is.
@@khalidalali186 Well she seems pretty ok with her decision, she may have travelled the world regardless, had amazing experiences and met her life partner by taking the path she did rather than being a round the clock slave on some spoilt rich people's boat.
Well, not everyone will have same experience as there's a million yachts out there. There is a way you can check the boat up and understand what is for. Private, charter, party, young owners or a lovely family in pension 👌
@@khalidalali186 I would have regretted doing it and coming across same situation s rather regretting doing it. To each their own what you choose to regret.
So you are basically saying you have no experience and no idea what you’re talking about. Interesting comment…
I used to be an estate manager for Billionaires in London. A lot of this is very familiar. Was fun but also mad. They are all detached from reality in varying degrees.
sounds wild. But in a sense, isn't that lifestyle their actual formed reality?
hi, do you have an instagram or something? i would love to know more aboht estate management in general, ive been looking into the buisness. Thanks :)
@@amorphous14 how do I pm you

Secretive? There isn’t a single person who doesn’t know that the rich and wealthy usually have a seriously unhinged morale compass

And that’s why it’s boring! VICE should know better. Inferior journalism.
There are many more UNprivledged...(lacking moral compasses)
Right but we don’t know the exact details of what they do now do we? Hence the secrecy.
I once worked on a yacht because a student friend got me into it, the owner was a fashion industry billionaire and the biggest sicko ive seen in my life to this date. He always made the girls sit for a long time and smelled the seats once they stood up. The girls were laughing about it but it freaked me out every time he did it. Got out of it after the first gig never looked back
Yuck. I know some of them farted or have a smelly number. He still like to smell that nasty stuff 😅
Thats repulsive
another reason men are the root of all evil,
That's it..... a billionaire smelling a seat a girl sat in...... u know bums would do the same....
Was his name Peter nygard?? 😂😂
The thing he left out was seeing *children* on these yachts. Not just teens, but toddlers, and elementary school kids. If you have a conscience, you can't do that work for very long. You constantly go against your morals and conscience for money by knowing these things are happening but doing anything about it.
😢
They're not someone's kids? They're used sexually?
@@edp3202 Absolutely.

@@rohan_3128 Oh yeah, I remember when that movie hit the world by storm! Never saw it but I will. Thank you my friend.
Money doesn’t change you , it merely makes your true character shine through.
Wealth is most dangerous among the heartless.
Unfortunately it's easier to get wealth if you have no consiousness
It does change you, because it makes you think about it, it changes your way of thinking, Stop thinking about People.
Money definitely corrupts people, can turn even the nicest person into a greedy corrupted human who values money over being good
@@Jordan-ec5qj but how do you know they weren’t truly greedy before? Penny pinching not giving in charity, lazy , selfish, are attributes of greed.
Yes because your a multimillionaire that can tell us this first hand. (Awaiting Phony Reply claiming you have $$$).
I saw my friend at a bar I hadnt seen in years. He had been working as a deckhand on a super yacht. He told me they would be up all night having parties and him and the other workers would have to wait for them to go to bed, he said he would be lying down exhausted thinking "please please just go to sleep"
but thats not shocking tbh, its part of it
People who paid tens ir hundreds of thousands of dollars per week to party on a boat did exactly that?
The horror.
P.s a similar friend of mine has aerophobia and he's a pilot.
@A H do people willingly sign up for this ? Or would you have to be invited aka like a offer
@@Neurotv4941 most people go through an agency
So the workers hv to hv sex with the boss.?
“It’s like a whole other world that people don’t really know exists.”
No no no, we KNOW these things exist. But money keeps people silent about WHO organizes and takes part in these things. Which is why they keep happening. And why we know they happen.
Kudos to this man for giving a peak into it though cause some of these details are mind boggling. 😢
Someone said that money doesn't change you but shows who you really are and I couldn't agree more. Ego is a very terrifying thing
DJ Paul said it in "Money didn't change me"

Whatever happens at sea happens on land...
I once met a millionaire at a Coffee Shop and asked me if I wanted to make money all I had to do was drive, I accepted when we went outside he had a nice beautiful race car Mercedes AMG and told me to drive but the rules was that I had to drive super fast almost close to near death and he would pay me 15k dollars. I was really worried since I wasn't a fast driver but needed money to pay off my debt so I did it on the freeway almost going 170mph. He was laughing like a maniac and once I got off he paid me the 15k in cash. He asked me if I ever needed more work to show up at the coffee shop every Thursday at 7am. I no longer showed up but he started calling me out of nowhere I had to block him and even got threats afterwards. I can believe how rich people can be so sick im just happy I never did a crazy stunt like that again. Me losing my life for someone else's pleasure is not my thing I just hope no one else ever took the bait and went further.
Unfortunately many people would give their left nut for the opportunity you just had (myself included.) most of the people I know are either poor, homeless, drug addicts, debt ridden, suicidal, etc. I’m one of those people myself since I’m also extremely suicidal and feel I have nothing to live for except for that next sweet hit of heroin or fentanyl, otherwise the horrors of my disabling mental health, reality, poverty, and desire to kill myself hit me like train. I will become desperate and put my life in danger for less than $100 with no hesitation after a week of being sober, even with suboxone on hand so I don’t feel the worst of the physical symptoms, but after 7 days of no sleep and feeling nothing but despair, panic attacks, depression, etc. for 95% of that time I am willing to do anything for a hit. If I die trying to get that money then at least I would finally be at peace so anything is better than being sober. I would kill to be able to even do what you did once and I know many other people that would too.
I’m glad you are alive tho.
@@SalviHippo take a break . Get past the lowest point and you'll rise up
@@SalviHippo I’m out of words tbh
Interesting story! It is a blessing you are still alive. 😊Your story reminds me of that one scene from Mahogany (The Diana Ross film)
@@SalviHippo I hope you find a happy and healthy passion again. It really really makes a difference. It can be anything from rock climbing, to knitting sweatshirts. Just something you really enjoy and can lose yourself in. It is better on the other side. You just have to keep pushing forward and be patient.

Just from watching the reality show 'Below Deck' (which I imagine has much less dodgy stuff going on because it's filmed) you can see how the ultra-wealthy guests feel they can do whatever they want to the staff and demand the most insane things just for their amusement. You get a sense of the cruelty and entitlement. I imagine what it might be like if there are no cameras around. *shudder*
100%!
okay, I'm so freaking scared for the safety of these people who have come out to speak about these very controversial but important matters that have been hidden from the general public, and I would greatly appreciate it if we could give them a full-body suit to wear and slippers to hide their identity. Because they have come out at the expense of their safety wearing their own clothes and items that may aid people in identifying them and it scares me that this channel is showing us the truth at the expense of someone else's safety even if they did come to the shoot at will

Love this series - they all feel like thrillers and horror shows, but scarier cos they’re real
Wish this was like 30 minutes long. These informer series is fascinating 💯
I'll take his word for it, but man, this is a pretty good low-budget format... You could get anyone to wear a mask and reveal all the horrible scandalous secrets a tabloid writer could come up with. And we didn't even get any juicy details! Just the vague implication that some super-rich people can behave pretty badly. Which I'm sure none of us ever suspected until now.
The reason he didn't want to reveal too much is because, once he starts calling names, those individuals will know by his demeanor and mention who he is and dox him from that point.
Yeah it was a bit light on new information! I know worse stories than this just from hearing them around.
Sexual harassment? That’s the least of it. Women who are hired as escorts or entertainment... are quite often forced to do all kinds of awful things, or physically abused and beaten- and it’s not like they can say ‘no’ or leave- they’re in the middle of the ocean with nobody else around!
Perhaps he’s just not been there when one of these women held against their will has protested too much and been ‘disposed of’ overboard.
But there’s no way he hasn’t heard about it!

Under 24hrs for billionaires.
“Wealth had not corrupted him. What he’d chosen to do with his wealth corrupted him. First he insulated himself from ordinary human experience, and then deemed himself superior to the masses, excused himself from all constraints not only of morality but also of tradition, and subsequently felt justified in casting off his conscience as a worthless artifact of primitive and superstitious minds. He had made of himself a malignancy in the human community.”
-- Dean Koontz, from his novel "The Silent Corner"

I've got a number of friends that have worked on super yachts and my wife also worked on them for 5 years. The yachts he is talking about are known in the industry as 'party yachts' and they are most definitely not the norm. Everyone in the industry know which yachts are party yachts and they hire crew to suit. A lot end up burnt out and leave to go back to regular yachts. All the yachts my friends worked on had a strict no drug policy. If guests were found with it they were kicked off, it's not worth the Captain's career should the police find it- and they do check these vessels from time to time. My wife tells a story about vacuuming up a large pile of cocaine that was left on a guest's bathroom sink. The guest never said anything about it as she knew she'd just be removed from the charter.
i'm a surfer who once hitchhiked on a few yachts to travel and surf incredible waves. i was always treated with kindness and respect. i sailed the midnight sail and cooked and did the dishes for my boarding. it was one of the most amazing adventures of my life. in harbor one day, i was offered an interview on a super yacht. the people who worked on this particular boat were not "my cup of tea", so i turned it down. never regretted it... 😎😉✌

Money doesn't change a person, it amplifies who you already are from the inside.
Filthy wealth entails horrid deviance. It's hard for some of those people to know that there is something that they could enjoy that's socially or legally out of their reach. And what is still hidden is far more terrifying and scary.
I feel they have lost connection to their Spirit & Creative Source. They are pathetic shells of humans. They appear to be simply puppets or tools for lower entities to create havoc through after a certain point. They are being used as slaves in this sick system that hates humanity, also.

When you have no money left, no one to help you and no qualifications whatsoever, no matter how proud and kind you are, you have no other choice than to take a sketchy or miserable job offer. The saying "where there's a will, there's a way" is mostly false. Good opportunities don't rely on good will.
thank you for these informer dark side series vice. we need to be open to the cruel world of money and power
Would’ve love to hear actual horrific stories from super yachts
This
Some involve faeces , go figure
okay I used to live in one of the most expensive places in europe, a friend left the industry because she had had enough. The saying is 'what goes on in the yacht stays on the yacht. I know loads of captains - they never say a word, I guess out of fear. Anyways r maxwell was so lazy he used to pee in a glass by the bed, an owners wife who I think was indian, would not flush the toilet, deckhands had to. Another used to beat the crap out of her maid, she was arab. G maxwell wanted to own the sea in the new world order, I kid you not, this is how delusional they are
@@christinecurrie7405 by G maxwell do you mean Epstein’s wife? Could you please explain the context of that conversation -if you’re privy to it ofc? I’m just really curious lol
@@marisstella5406 I believe that is who’s she’s talking about I know G maxwells sisters owns some kind of submarine company. Great way to hide of Epsteins victims

No Money don't change people, it just shows who they really are ...
It changes people because less people are able to make them accountable. Get away once => get away 100 times or more. Precisely it's the authority huge $ brings can change people
I was thinking they drink 2-3 cups of tea daily while watching Sunrise/Sunset.
I would like to make a review/response to this video, please can I have permission to use the content in this video?
Yes that would be a great idea!
I'd like to see that. I hope you'll grant permission.
I would like to see something like this too. Please grant Super Yacht Captain permission to use the content in this video.
I'd love to hear from Tristan his response to this video as a veteran of the industry for decades. Please grant him permission
Would be good to see a response from a Captain!!
This video is not representative of the super yacht industry. I've worked in the industry for over a decade and on multiple boats of all sizes and most of what he said I have never seen, or even heard of from others even anecdotal stories like this. If it's so bad why is he still in the industry? He's hiding his identity because he wants to continue his career whilst at the same time saying it's so bad. Vice, I am a crew member on a superyacht and have been in the maritime industry for 20+ years. If you want to interview me get in touch. I won't require a mask, I am also a CZcamsr.
This whole video is a load of bullocks.
It seems that Tristan might make a response video.
The masked man is making some big allegations. Has Vice done any fact finding on the allegations? I see multiple defamation cases coming out of this. I'm also included to trust what Tristan is saying too.
@@Iwishiwasflying Defamation lawsuits from who??? He didn't give any specific names or companies. Anyone who feels offended by this to the point they'd want to sue would just be telling on themselves.
@@edenredeemed lol right?
He specifically mentioned working for billionaires with shady reputations. Were any of the ones you worked for shady or reputed to be corrupt? I mean, someone who worked in many Wall St firms might also say they've never seen the stuff that went down at Stratton Oakmont
I wonder how the reality show "Below Deck" compares to this guy's experience?
this guy probably already has a deep voice without a voice changer now he sounds like darth vader
Loving these insights into certain industries 👌🏽
I have spent 20 years as a yacht captain and I can tell you the stories this guy are telling are the the monitory not the majority. I have had an incredible career working for incredible families.
He sounds like a paid actor.
I doubt he's working for families. Probably bachelor's. Maybe you're working in different parts of the same industry.
I agree! I have also worked in this industry and nothing what this guy said has EVER happened to me. One day off in months.. that's total bullshit. You get up to 4 days off in between charters. Sexual harassment? The worst I've had is a hand wandering up my leg .. spoke to the Captain and he had a word with the guest.. all sorted. Drugs? Nope just great families who just want to have fun. Nope, sorry. This faceless guy is talking out of his arse!
@@sweetiepybirdzilla7514 that must be fun. In cruise ships we don't get day offs in 8 months straight.
You never worked in uk then, I bet you worked in Italy or some kind of boring country
SMH! Great reporting Vice!!
This is mind blowing info. Who knew that wealth and power are used to take advantage of other people. How long has this been happening?? 😮
Glad this is being shed to light more to be honest. I remember hearing about a few different super yacht cases on a couple criminal mystery channels. Thought it was unique and underrated of a topic it just kind of stuck with me at the time. I did some research on more cases and this is true by all means. At anytime a person can be killed, cleaned up, and just thrown overboard. Lots of woman and men dissapearing, as well as on cruise ships in the past decade.
They kill the staffs there?
thats right,iv watched some videos on them unsolved murders on yachts as well and the cruises...it was interesting because i never knew they had weird laws that they twist to somehow prevent them from doing investigations ,unless some private investigator is brought in then it would remain unknown ....
In Belgium my sicilian ex mother inaw bribed my crooked lawyer Hugo jacobs

This doesn’t just happen in wealthy circles. It happens in poor communities too. People die and no one steps up as a witness for the true story. In the end the bad guy gets away. The common denominator is drugs and bad people. What there is to learn is that you have a choice. To put yourself in these situations or stay away from them. This video did not convince me that all rich people are bad. Bad people are bad and they exist in every class.
This is correct ✅
THANK YOU>>
Yes but it also important to listen to his story
Yes, but the difference is the way these ppl get away with these crimes. There is an important social context you're missing: people tend to get away with crimes in poor places because of the govt's neglect of those places; But billionaires tend to get away with crimes because they actively abuse their power and connections. So there's a difference in how power-dynamics are exercised here.
Also, there's the fact that we're trained to look up to rich people just by virtue of them being rich, so thats why this info is necessary: we're raised to have this near-religious reverence for rich people, to the point that we're not supposed to see fault in them & to disregard any crimes they did. Seeing this info breaks that lily-white illusion and causes us to question this whole system they set up, and that questioning is dangerous to them.
On the flip side, we're trained to look at poor communities as inherently criminal, so doing that doesnt shake anything up; youre doing what you were trained to do. But to question the morals of the people who set this whole system up, now thats dangerous.
Whatever you need to tell yourself....
I knew a guy who worked for the F1, and he told me that in this milieu they were were throwing out parties, in yachts, in the Mediterranean with drugs alcohol and prostitutes....its another world..
And I really hate it when people say “everybody has a price“. It’s not that everybody has a price it’s just that the higher up you go dealing with corrupt and heinous people you know that you’re life could potentially end by dealing with them. So if you don’t want to die…you sign the dotted line.
Money and drugs don't make you change, they reveal your true side!
I love this series so much!
Money doesn’t change people, it reveals them.
This is absolutely scary ... it saddens me the state of our world , that this is taken place ... the corruption and criminal expression moving through the rich and our governments. It should fear us all and leave us feeling the need to expose and dismantle where we can.
I like how is able to not let on who offered him the job without indicating who's offering the job using as a sufficiently generalized characterization of, "the most notoriously corrupt people on the planet".... and these people can do whatever they want, until there's a revolution.
yeah cause people are going to come together to overthrow the capitalist system right? lol
first thing that came to my head was jeffrey epstein and his circle
@@TheEvolver311 Probably not. More likely, they will grow increasingly aware of the corruption and exploitation, further develop the idea it is they who is being exploited and the bosses who keep getting richer & more powerful as a result, become increasingly angry and hostile, then eventually go on a murderous spree of taking out which ever scapegoated group the elite decide to target for a distraction. So yes... LOL.
@@TheEvolver311 capitalism isn't bad, it's people who are fucked up
@@LoseControlForDeath capitalism doesn't exist independently of humans
Not to take away from this gentleman’s points but I must say that not all boats are like this, some have very respectable owners who really look after their crew and provide some very good experiences and memories, extremely good health insurance, highly paid salaries and great work/holiday rotations
Obviously man. That's the case with every profession from barbershop owners to fashion designers.
True, but what about when the kids take over the yacht?¿¿? Second generation rich are where the despicable nature begins‼️‼️‼️💯💯👍
The problem even with respectable owners is that this "hobby" billionaires have is extremely unnecessary and detrimental to the environment. the amount of fuel this yachts burn is crazy
@@Iliashun well that's not really a problem I drive a car and someone can also argue and find it unnecessary 👀 and came one it's okay to destroy earth just that little bit
Yea he's not talking about normal people. He's talking about the Epstein types
How can anyone that's rich be okay with this? It just makes me uncomfortable.
They are not perfect NOBODY is . I guess people expect them to be perfect because they are rich
Perfection is impossible, yes. But if you're gonna be rich, at least have standards.
@@shocktrapproductions6332 I agree totally! It’s like the rich ones do the most wildest things
My brother has worked some big yachts in Fort Lauderdale and Miami where a lot rich people come and he works as an engineer and even he has some stories because mostly they are all the same people no matter what yacht you work on they generally treat like garbage 😢
I want to give this guy a hug . I can feel the pain. Money brings out the true character of a person. 😥🙁
These informers need to start covering up everything a bit better
He was covered up 🤷🏽♂️??
They're usually actors just narrating the actual story.
yeah seriously how many black people with a london accent are working on super yachts of billionaires??
@@jimmyboe25 EXACTLY!!

I’m now obsessed with these videos 😱
Well this pretty much sums up the true meaning of : " All hands on deck " ....
I've always found it curious that their voice is changed. Anyone with a pitch shifter can change it back to what it most likely sounds like.
Usually the people that have on these things are publicly known already it's just to add to the series trademark.
Its layered, sp even of you pitch it back up it will not sound like the guys real voice
It’s not just shifted down it’s distorted. It would still sound just as distorted at a normal pitch. They make it deep because it sounds cool. Normal pitch distorted voices sound dumb, high pitch ones sound funny.
All of them sound the same though, right? That would mean it's just the same voice reading scripted input like microsoft sam
He revealed 2% of what goes on.
I agree
There is something to be said about wealth. It seems as though wealthy people live outside of every social norm and they live a life that is completely foreign to our society.
The older I get the better I understand satisfaction, desire, greed, lust and mind manipulation. At some point, we must ask ourselves one question. What do we believe in?
We all know this...the sociopathic Hierarchies of extreme privilege and access has zero limitations: think of Caligula's double ancient pleasure ships on lake Nemi - Sex , Murder, Sinister- Anything . 🦖☄
Was a deckhand for a year, did not have anything like this on the yachts. More than rich kids running around with drugs.

This is truly Hell on Earth. Humanity has created a unique Hell for itself and there's nothing we can do to fix it.
One thing that sickens me about these rich people is that whenever they wanted to do despicable things to someone, THEY CAN AND WILL DO IT AND GET AWAY WITH IT AS IF IT'S NOTHING.
That sickens literally everyone.

when vice put a mask on one of his staff and interview him😂
stfu*
He speaks with a heavy heart and needs to plan an exit strategy. The industry is for him. It might be lucrative. But he is working against his moral values. It’s eating away at him.
Is he talking about Toni Hristov Kolev? His legs were nearly severed on a super yacht in Thailand, and he bled to death 😢
I worked at 1 of the largest casinos in the world for 12 years as a dealer. The casino would allow huge players to rent out the 36th floor of the hotel and the players could request whatever table games they wanted to be added to their room. They would get drunk and be having sex in the next room then come out half dressed and play a few hands. There would be dealers just sitting at the tables all night waiting. Our hosts would get them anything they wanted. They would often sexually harass or assault the dealers and the management would do nothing. Years later we realized that we just had to call the state police ourselves at the risk of our jobs to get justice.
Lol
