WORKING on a luxury yacht may seem glamorous but a stewardess has revealed what it is really like to work on a £100million boat.
Gema has been living and working on a luxury superyacht based in the French Riviera for the last nine months.
But has claimed that some of her duties are “another level.”
Gema said: “Every morning and through the whole day, we need to keep checking the yacht meticulously.
“We need to check everything is perfect, the cushions are in the exact position, check they haven’t moved one millimetre.
“Insignificant things that you probably don’t do at home, and maybe you don’t even realise.
“Fingerprints are also very important.
“Everything really has to be impeccable. Just as if no one was onboard.”

Gema explained the worst part of the job for her is when people go to the bathroom.
She said: “Every time someone needs to use the toilet, we need to go with them.

“You wait outside and as soon as they finish, you have to go in and rearrange everything they have used or touched.
“Every single detail. The loo roll with the diamond stuck on it. Everything has to be perfect again.”
She explains that the yacht has been like there was nobody onboard.
Gema added: “The owners spend a lot of money every day. Having the yacht here [in the French Riviera] costs them the same amount we get every month.”
Gema says everyday the owners spend their “salary just to keep the yacht here” and that it has to be a service of “seven stars.”
She continued: “Just like the most luxurious hotel but on the water.
“It’s a lot of work for us. We work 24 hours a day. We have to be watching them at all times.
We basically have to watch them all the time but they don’t have to see you

“It’s better you anticipate what they need than them having to ask for it.”
Gema also explained that if the owner smokes, they must get the “ashtray ready for them as soon as they finish their meal.”
She said: “We basically have to watch them all the time but they don’t have to see you.
“So more than a stewardess I am more like a butler, really.
“But I personally like it. I get to meet people from other levels, millionaires…
“I would never meet these kind of people back home.”
‘Hide other women’s clothes so the wife doesn’t see’
Gema described some of her other duties as “another level” which include hiding other women’s clothes around the yacht “so the wife doesn’t see it.”
