Season 1 | Episode 7: Joy Middleton on what it’s really like to work on a yacht and how she transitioned into the industry
Today, I am talking to Joy, who started her private hospitality career in a ski chalet and then headed to the South of France in the summer. Since getting her break in the yachting world, she has worked her way up the ranks, on a variety of incredible super yachts, and is now a Purser.
It’s an industry where attention to detail, long days and a lot of cleaning come as standard but in return you see places all around the world and meet lots of people all the time. In this episode we discuss:
🎙️ How she first got into the industry and what you can do to help your chances
🎙️ The workload and how the job isn’t for everyone
🎙️ What it’s really like on some of the most luxurious boats in the world
She talks stories, life as a yachtie and some real truths about one of the most seemingly glamorous roles out there. If you’ve seen the TV show Below Deck, you’re in for a bit of a surprise.
