A Day In The Life Of A Yacht Crew

Have you ever wondered what life is like for a crew on a yacht? Our crew spend a lot of time on Abide, not only working together, but living together, too.

This week, we’re taking a quick break from the refit story to give you an inside look at what it’s really like to live and work aboard Abide.

I’m joined by Jacob, our engineer, and Elizabeth, our deckhand who connected with me as they both sat down aboard our boat in Newport, Rhode Island.

We’ll dive into how they got into the world of yachting, the training involved to become yacht crew, and what it’s like to live and work in such close quarters. From navigating the day-to-day responsibilities to living alongside co-workers, Jacob and Elizabeth share a unique perspective on life aboard Abide that I know you’ll get a lot of insight from.

Highlights from this episode:

  • How Jacob and Elizabeth found their way into the yachting world.
  • The rigorous training required to be a yacht crew member.
  • Daily life aboard Abide and how they live together as co-workers.
  • Insights into the crew’s responsibilities and routines.
  • What it takes to make life at sea run without a hitch.

Cheryl stayed home with her four children for many years, where she found her engineering and actuarial science degrees to be surprisingly useful. Together with her husband they also ran a horse boarding barn for several years. As new empty nesters, they sold the farm, moved to Charleston, SC, and bought Abide, a 136' sailboat, with the goal of sailing to as many places around the world as possible.
