A teen gets paid £1,000 a month to travel the world on millionaire’s superyachts – and says it’s often just like reality show Below Deck.
Brooke Ransome, 19, from Winlaton Mill, Newcastle, ditched university to work in bars and dance schools to pay £3,000 for the three-week deck steward training course.
She then flew to Palma, Mallorca, to hand out her CV in dockyards – and got a spot as a stewardess on a 252ft luxury superyacht docked in Equatorial Guinea.
And after four months sailing in Africa she jumped ship to a 290ft superyacht touring the Mediterranean, stopping in France, Italy, Monaco and ‘every Greek island you can imagine’.
Brooke said standards were high – and she had to handle each glass with gloves and take photos of the window to prove there wasn’t a single smudge left behind.
