The Basics of Day Work on a Yacht and What You Can Expect

• June 19, 2023

Working on a yacht is a unique and exciting career path open to anyone passionate about the sea and hospitality. Yachts are luxurious vessels typically used for leisure and travel, ranging in size from small sailing yachts to massive superyachts that accommodate dozens of guests. Yachts require a crew, and many positions are available for those looking to work on board.

Day work is a common arrangement in the yacht industry where yacht workers are hired temporarily to help with tasks that the onboard crew cannot handle because of other obligations. Day work can range from a day, a week, or even a month, depending on the contract, with jobs ranging from gathering food, doing laundry, or event assistance, which frequently happen on yachts. However, being a yacht dayworker goes beyond these details, so we will discuss them in this article.

The Basics of a Day Work Arrangement

Yacht workers in the day work arrangement are called dayworkers. Day workers are typically hired through crew houses or direct applications by going to docked yachts with their CVs on hand. The work can be seasonal, and it is essential to have a flexible schedule. Day workers are expected to have a positive attitude and a willingness to work in any department.

Additionally, dayworkers are expected to have relevant experience in the tasks they are hired for. For example, if a day worker is hired to do laundry, they should have experience in laundry operations and know how to handle different fabrics and detergents. If a day worker is hired to help with food preparation, they should have culinary skills and knowledge of food safety regulations.

The Challenges of Day Work

Being a day worker can be challenging in many ways. For starters, it can be tough to find consistent work, especially during the off-season. Day workers may have to spend a lot of time searching for jobs, which can be frustrating and financially stressful. With this in mind, lack of job security is also a problem because dayworkers are hired temporarily, and their contracts can be terminated anytime. This means they cannot rely on a stable income and may have to look for new jobs constantly.

While it doesn’t always happen, day workers may also face discrimination from permanent crew members. Some permanent crew members may view day workers as inferior and treat them poorly. This can create a hostile work environment and make it challenging for day workers to do their jobs effectively.

How Much Will You Get Paid?

Day workers can expect to make around USD 150 or €100- €130 cash daily, depending on experience. Accommodations are not usually included because yachts have limited space onboard. Day workers are expected to find their own accommodation, which can be challenging in popular yachting destinations.

Tips When Working as a Dayworker

To help you be an effective yacht dayworker, here are some tips:

• Pack spare clothes: Day work can be messy, and having spare clothes on hand is essential. You never know when you might get covered in food or other substances, or you may work on the yacht for several days without going home.
• Never be late: Punctuality is crucial in the yachting industry. If you are late, you could miss out on an opportunity or, worse, lose your job.
• Be open to working in any department: Dayworkers are expected to be flexible and willing to work in any department. You may be asked to help with laundry, cooking, or deck work.
• Always be ready to lend a hand: Dayworkers should always be prepared to help with any task. This could mean assisting with a guest’s luggage or helping to set up for an event.
• Build your network – Networking is essential in the yachting industry. Dayworkers should take every opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with industry professionals.

Being a yacht dayworker is a laborious but fulfilling job that requires dedication, hard work, and a willingness to learn. Anyone who enters the trade can have a long and successful career if they approach it with the right attitude and mindset, especially since they will deal with people from all walks of life. With this, you will gain valuable experience and make connections that can lead to future opportunities in the yachting industry.

Superyacht Day Work

A few tricks of the trade.

Day work is non-contractual temporary work on a yacht. Read through the advice and tips below to become an expert dayworker and give yourself the best possible chance of finding a job.

Tips for day work

Change of clothes:.

Dock walking often leads to on the spot daywork. It is, therefore, a good idea to carry around a backpack with a change of clothes that you do not mind getting ruined (a white t-shirt and less smart shorts, or an old boat t-shirt). Some boats will give you day working clothes to use, but do not count on it.

Be flexible:

Whilst you are 'green' and seeking experience you should be willing to daywork in any department. An aspiring deckhand should not be shy to clean an engine room or galley. It is all valuable experience and will help you network and get your foot in the door.

Be on time:

Always ensure you arrive 10-15 minutes before daywork commences. Stand on the dock and be ready to begin work. Do not ring the bell and hassle the crew, it is likely they are having coffee/eating breakfast and will see you on the cameras. NEVER BE LATE. It is a cardinal sin in yachting and you will likely be sent home.

It is your opportunity to impress - work hard, only take breaks or stop when you are told - don’t think its time to go home just because it is 1700. Always offer to stay late if required. It will not go unnoticed. Even if there is no potential job on this boat, the crew will recommend hard-workers to other friends and crew.

Be proactive:

Finish your tasks and clean up after yourself, clean your tools/products and return them to their home. If the crewmember giving you direction is busy and you do not have another task, find something to do or temporarily offer your assistance to someone else.

Do not use/look at your phone except during designated breaks. If you are expecting a call for an interview or about a job, explain this to the person in charge at the start of the day and they will understand and will allow you take a call if necessary.

Be eager to learn:

Try and learn as much as possible, ask questions and watch and learn. Do not be a know it all and pretend to know things you do not. The experienced crew are able to judge your experience and are more likely to help those willing to learn.

Pay for daywork:

Pay for daywork varies depending on the country you are in, your experience and the yacht you are working for. It usually ranges from 12-15 Dollars/Euros and hour. You may be paid at the end of each day or at the end of the week, if you need the money that day, speak to the person in charge, they will usually help you out.

Day working provides a fantastic networking opportunity, go for drinks/dinners with the crew. If you have developed a good relationship even join them on their day off. If they like you and approve of the way you work they are likely to recommend you to friends and crew on other boats.

As green crew, one way to land a permanent role as a yacht stew or deckhand is by building up your new yachting CV with day work. Learning how to get day work and taking advantage of those opportunities can be a stepping stone to starting your yachting career.

Day work gives you an introduction to what it’s like to work onboard, where you start to build your first yacht stew or deckhand skills, it also gives you income during the job hunting phase, allows you to network and creates a positive reputation for you in the industry.  

This article answers these questions: What is day work on yachts? Why do yachts need day workers? How to get day work for yacht crew? What do you get paid as a day worker? What to wear to day work onboard? Hot tips for green crew when day working.

What is daywork : It’s a non-contractual temporary work on a yacht. It’s when a yacht hires you temporarily, this can range from one day to a week to a month depending on the extra work needed to be done onboard. You could be hired to work in any area of the boat from the interior, exterior or engineering department.  Daywork is not only just for green crew it can also be for temp experienced crew. You will be doing any job needed to be done, from the routine monthly tasks the crew don’t get time to do or cleaning crew areas, detailing the cabins and interior preparing it for the next charter, helping with provisions or washdowns on the exterior of the vessel.

Why yachts need day workers : During busy periods boats need more help than usual to ‘turn the boat around’ in between charters. When yachts drop off one charter or boss trip within 24-48 hrs you need to prepare the boat up to superyacht standards for the next guests arrival. These are usually really long days for the crew and throw in having to also get new provisions onboard, a full laundry, detailing every cabin and resetting the interior there’s often not enough hours in the day to get it done just with the regular crew so this is when day workers are needed. You could also be called for daywork when the boat is on charter to assist with large events or to do the routine jobs the crew onboard don’t have time to do on charter.

How you get daywork : 1. Through Facebook pages such as Antibes yacht crew or Fort Lauderdale Yacht Crew Daywork, or yacht crew pages/WhatsApp groups

2. Crew houses will often be contacted by boats (especially Grapevine in Antibes, France as it is very reputable) this is why I highly recommend staying in crew houses as this is the added bonus which can ultimately lead to a job.

3. Walking the docks handing out your cv, this a first-hand way of offering your services to vessels nearby, a business card is also very handy to give out too. This way they can contact you directly. If you want to learn more about dock walking check out this article here.

What you will get paid: $150 USD or  €100- €130 cash per day (depending on experience). Most likely to include lunch, however, accommodation is not usually provided due to limited spaces onboard.

Tips for daywork: 1. If dock walking pack a spare pair of clothes it’s not unusual for the yacht to ask you to jump on board then and there to help out.  2. Be open to working in any department necessary to add to your yachting CV as it’s all valuable experience. It may not be a deck position you are wanting but if you can help out with a wash down it’s an experience you can say you’ve done.  3. Don’t be late. There are so many people eager to take this opportunity so act keen and arrive 10 mins early.  4. Do not use your mobile phone while day working (acceptable on breaks only), and do not take photos of you on the boat. 5. Always finish your task promptly, and clean up after you’re done. Ask the crew if they need a hand with anything if you are waiting for your next task. If you are not sure how to do something don’t just wing it, ask the person in charge and just explain you haven’t done this task before. 6. Network, if you develop a great relationship with the crew on that boat they will be likely to recommend you to other boats if they do not have a permanent position.

To Work on a Yacht Without Experience – Make a Plan

Yachts do hire people with no experience in yachting. The entry-level positions which offer new crew the best opportunity to learn the “ropes” in yachting are: junior deckhand, stewardess, steward, or cook. The key to finding your first position onboard is preparation.

There is a lot of competition for the rookie jobs on yachts. Begin your job search by identifying what skills you have that would be useful on a yacht. Assess your present skills and experience to focus on the characteristics that apply to the job you are targeting. Applicants with professional hospitality experience and training, at a hotel, resort, cruise ship, estate, or restaurant, are at an advantage in entering yachting. Holding specialty skills is also a means to enter the industry, such as masseuse, au pair, fishing guide, engineer, kite surfing instructor, pianist or helicopter pilot. You may just hold the skill that a captain needs to supplement his crew.

In all cases, stepping aboard will require a willingness to work hard and long as part of a team. An interest in learning and being flexible will increase your chances of finding a position that opens a new career path.

To get hired on a yacht with no experience you need to:

• Be in the right place at the right time

Have a professional resume

Register with luxury yacht group.

• Complete basic STCW classes
• Build references with day work
• Maintain contact 24/7

Be in the right place

There are seasons in the yachting industry. You will have the greatest opportunity without experience if you are in the location of highest demand and that changes throughout the season. The European season is May through September, centered in Antibes, France. The Americas/Caribbean generally place out of Fort Lauderdale early winter and early spring. In-person interviews are vital to success in finding a first opportunity. Arrange for flexible accommodations and have adequate living expenses to support yourself through a potential two month job search. Many first time yacht crew receive an immediate offer based on being in the right place at the right time, and could say “yes” on a moment’s notice.

Prepare a CV that portrays you as an energetic team player. Take care with the details. The resume is your best marketing tool. Typos and grammatical errors are red flags for a crew agency. Include a good photo as it is the industry standard. Smile and look the part. Use the Luxury Yacht Group web site for guidance on the basic skill sets for entry level positions. Be diligent in defining experience and highlighting transferable skills. Education, previous job experience, training or knowledge specific to the industry will get your CV a second look. List your most recent experience first. Hobbies and volunteer work can also illustrate character and work ethic. Diving, water sports, fishing, woodworking are hobbies which enhance your fit on a yacht. Provide professional references who have given you permission to use them as a contact. Captains look for an intersection of experience, certifications and personality in making hiring decisions. Give yourself an edge with a bit of personal detail – playing a musical instrument, proficiency in languages, flower arranging – to add dimension to your personality on paper.

Register with Luxury Yacht Group. A large agency with high placement volume offers the most opportunity to identify options for inexperienced crew. Be prepared to interview. Understand the requirements of entry level positions and how to explain the relevance of your experiences. Share stories which illustrate your work ethic, ability to solve problems and work in a team. Be on time and make a professional appearance. Some entry level positions have few specific requirements, but a captain will define specific preferences in a candidate. During an interview offer detail, enthusiasm and discretion when sharing experiences to display your ability to do routine tasks aboard, multi task, and be part of a team. Keep in touch with the agency regularly by logging into the website and confirming interest in any jobs that look good to you. Update your CV as you pick up day work experience, establish local references and complete any coursework you can locally while looking for work.

Complete basic licensing

Basic STCW is a minimum requirement to work on yachts that charter. The course has four parts and takes a week to complete. The modules which make up the Basic STCW certification are: 1) fire prevention and firefighting, 2) personal survival techniques, 3) personal safety and social responsibility, 4) first aid/CPR. Once the certificate is earned, it is valid for five years. Some modules do not expire. Check with your maritime school for details.

Establish references

During the search for a first job aboard, do day work. It is an excellent means to learn your way around a yacht. It is also a way to understand the physical demands and working style of yachts. Day work also provides you with local and yacht specific references. Be flexible on what you are willing to do – cleaning, polishing, detailing, laundry, wash-downs, painting. A seasonal or temporary job – even aboard a delivery without guests aboard – is a first step to a new career in yachting. Captains distinguish between applicants who want to enter a career and those who are looking to fill a summer. Educate yourself on the career path of the entry job so you can convey a commitment to yachting. (Immigration warning…many countries prohibit non-resident tourists from performing temporary “day work” when in their country. For example: a UK citizen admitted to the USA on a tourism ESTA cannot legally seek day work while in the USA.)

Maintain contact

Once a position of interest has been identified you must be available! Answer your phone and respond to emails immediately. Many entry positions are offered to the candidate who is ready to travel. Plans to attend a wedding in a month’s time….drop them. Partying Saturday night with friends….forget it, if the job offer comes in, you jump and get onboard immediately! One of the main reasons yachts pay well is that they expect a very high level of commitment.

Marianne and Gerard are examples of crew hopefuls with no yachting experience. Putting yourself in the shoes of a crew agent or captain, would you consider either of them for a rookie position aboard?

Marianne developed a love of the water fishing with her gramps. He taught her how to trailer his small boat, to steer, anchor and cleat. She described how much fun they had washing down the boat after a day on the lake and spending the winter sanding and painting. While in college she became such a yoga enthusiast that she taught the entire family where she worked, as an au pair, a morning yoga routine.

Marianne has the basics of a junior deckhand. Maintenance is a significant part of the responsibility on deck. She also displays some experience to apply to tender driving. Since she has worked with children, there is an indication that she has the skills to interface with owner families and guests. Her enthusiasm for sharing yoga may be the extra she brings to share with guests. An interview will assess whether Marianne will adapt to the pace and demands of a large vessel and how she will adjust to a team effort.

Gerard was raised in a family who owned a small hotel in a mountain village which served two tourist seasons – winter ski buffs and summer hikers. He explained that he and his siblings pitched in at whatever needed to be done to keep the hotel guests happy and returning each year – serving meals, making beds, loading cars. When he left home to backpack the world, he earned cash along the way by bartending. He has created a favorite cocktail recipe and named it after his hometown.

Gerard lived within the hospitality industry. It appears that his parents instilled a client driven attitude from a young age. As a junior steward, he would be doing many of the same things he did at the hotel as a child. An interview can verify whether Gerard has the “white glove” service standard, understands the need for discretion, and that he would be interested in working within the ‘interior’. Captains will also want to clarify whether Gerard is interested in a yachting career or if he is just adding the experience to his backpacking adventure.

The yachting industry is not a career for everyone. Rookies will find that work on a yacht is demanding, but offers great rewards. Finding a position on a yacht with no experience requires being prepared, having a detailed plan, and maintaining a positive attitude. Follow the steps outlined to increase your chances of coming aboard!

Engineering License Changes

The MCA has restructured the engineering certifications. The MEOL course has been done away with, and the AEC course made mandatory and more thorough. Luxury Yacht Group explains all these changes, what engineers progressing through the ranks can do now, and how Y ticket holders can convert their licenses over to the structure.

A Day in the Life Series – Chief Stewardess

For a yacht to run smoothly, it requires many working parts, and the interior department is a large component of this. The chief stewardess oversees this department and makes sure all the stewardesses onboard know what their tasks and responsibilities are. The interior department is largely in charge of the guest services whilst they are onboard, and responsible for interior maintenance of the yacht when they are not.

Do you Want to Work on a Yacht? The truth about Yacht Crew Life

We know a thing or two after having spent over 10 years living the luxury yacht life . It sounds glamorous, epic and like so much fun and totally not like a “real” job at all. I mean you get to travel the world and rub shoulders with the rich and sometimes even the famous. But pretty postcards, endless parties and bikinis it is not. It’s hard work crewing a luxury yacht. And it’s not for everyone. 

Here’s the truth about yacht crew life.

It can be all the fun, sunshine, exploration and travel – but that is not the job. Yachting is an industry of extreme highs and extreme lows. Not all yachts are the same. You may strike it incredibly lucky and land yourself the utopian yacht, crew and billionaires who care. But in reality, you’re more likely to be living off Red Bull and doing 36 hour shifts, too tired to do anything but stare at the shore from your porthole window. No day aboard a yacht is the same. Workload and the type of work you’ll be doing changes depending on the season, whether you have guests on board, have any maintenance issues and also how new you are to the crew (rank & position too). A superyacht requires never ending upkeep. The yacht needs to be kept in immaculate condition, as do the crew, and the crew always need to be prepared for any situation.

Working on a superyacht is very hard work; you have to be at the beck and call of guests who have some quite particular requests that are almost impossible to fulfill. Whatever the guests require it is your job to make sure they get it. With a smile. The money is great though, but also varies based on position, qualifications, yacht size, where the yacht is located and if it’s private or charter. In general, a slightly higher salary is offered if the yacht is private with the hope that, if you work on a charter, you will make up your salary with tips. Once you have completed a particular charter you might just get a day or a night to explore the splendid ports of call with a nice big gratuity in your pocket. These kinds of opportunities are extraordinary and for that moment, any trials you may have encountered with the world’s wealthiest whilst facing unruly seas, unpredictable weather and even more unpredictable and unruly guests, diminishes.

All in all what happens to so many people in this industry may happen to you. Despite the challenges, you join for a season and fall in love with the lifestyle. Yacht life might not be for everyone, but if the bug bites you, it bites hard!  Yachtie for life !

Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 is coming quite soon and the trailer revealed that Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher is a whole new person after her breakup with Colin MacRae , but is she having a breakdown? Daisy, who’s spent the majority of her time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht working as a dependable Chief Stew, has always been in a leadership role aboard the sailing yacht. Working in a more specialized area, Daisy’s specific knowledge and ability to lead is necessary to keep the crew working well together during a traditionally difficult charter season aboard Captain Glenn Shephard’s Parsifal III.

While Daisy may be struggling during her time aboard Parsifal III during Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 , viewers will be expecting the same quality of work that they’ve always seen from the experienced Chief Stew. Daisy, who has been open about her life after her breakup with Colin, has been keeping herself moving forward after ending things with her one-time friend and ex-boyfriend. Though Colin appears to have someone new after leaving the Below Deck franchise, Daisy has kept quiet about her own relationship status , as there will likely be a lot to reveal on Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5’s Trailer Featured A Whole New Daisy

She’s still reeling after her breakup.

Although Daisy and Colin’s breakup wasn’t seen on screen, the pair ended things after Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 and shared that they’d split during the season’s reunion show. Colin and Daisy’s relationship seemed difficult throughout Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4, but the pair’s split wasn’t the relief that either felt like it could be. Instead, both appeared raw and rough after the split and had a tough time talking about it during the Below Deck Sailing Yacht reunion.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

After her split from Colin, Daisy appears to be a whole new version of herself during the trailer for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . Though Daisy and Colin’s relationship wasn’t long, their friendship prior to taking things to the next level had been a long, genuine connection. Without Colin in her life or on the show, Daisy appears to be dealing with stress differently and understands that she doesn’t want to take the relationships in her life for granted moving forward.

Daisy’s Breakup With Colin MacRae Changed Her

She’s still not entirely over it.

Although Daisy’s life isn’t entirely changed , she seems like she’s been moved to look at things differently after her breakup with Colin. During the trailer for the new season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht, Daisy is shown sharing that the breakup was hard, but she’s been able to come out of it fending for herself in different ways. Making it clear that she wants to stand up for herself and block out the shade she gets from others, Daisy appears to have a whole new outlook on life that could still leave her a bit shaky at times.

Daisy & Gary King’s Friendship Could Be Fractured

She’s not happy with gary’s attitude.

While Daisy’s relationship with Colin is over, she still has d isgraced Below Deck Sailing Yacht first officer Gary King in her life, but their relationship appears to be fractured this season. Daisy and Gary’s tumultuous friendship has sparked rumors of romance over the years, but it’s clear that the pair are friends through and through, especially in the trailer. Daisy is shown shouting at Gary during the trailer , struggling through interactions with her friend as he appears to be wallowing in his cabin. Daisy and Gary’s friendship will be put to the test on Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5.

Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres Monday, October 7 at 9 p.m. EDT on Bravo.

Premiering on Bravo, the show follows the life of a Yacht crew as they attempt to navigate a busy Charter season in which many customers make use of a 177-foot sailing yacht. Over the first three seasons, the yacht has been to Greece, Croatia, and Spain.

I work as a private chef on board a luxury yacht in the British Virgin Islands. Here's what I make for my guests in a day.

• Hannah Staddon works as a private chef on Mucho Gusto, a luxury yacht in the British Virgin Islands.
• With her husband, Dominic Baldzuhn, the yacht's captain, they take guests on weeklong trips.
• From sushi to wagyu steaks, here's everything Staddon makes for her guests.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Hannah Staddon, a 31-year-old private chef who works onboard the Mucho Gusto , a luxury charter in the British Virgin Islands. It has been edited for length and clarity.

I've been in the industry for around 13 years. I started as a yacht stewardess in the Mediterranean. I worked as a stew for about three years before gravitating toward the kitchen.

At one point, a chef I was working with didn't enjoy baking — but I was pretty good at it. That jumpstarted my interest in cooking, and I saved up through another season to put myself through chef's school back in South Africa, where I'm from.

I worked as a crew chef for a 160-foot yacht for a bit, but I realized I didn't even really like crew cooking because they just made food in big batches.

I cooked for 10 to 14 people daily for about four or five months. But I was getting burned out, and I wanted to be creative and make small, beautiful things.

So, my partner and I started looking for a boat together, and we ended up working together on board Mucho Gusto.

It's been seven years, and we haven't looked back.

My day in a nutshell

I get up at about 6 a.m. As soon as I wake up, I start prepping pastries, laying out the tables, and getting our guests coffee.

I usually make a continental spread for breakfast with homemade granola yogurt, fruit plates, and pastries. Then, I'll have a hot option for the day, like eggs benedict or waffles.

I like cooking light and healthy food. So I do spreads, sometimes with homemade focaccia, and then a protein, depending on the guests' preferences.

I also try to source most of my produce from local farmers and fishermen.

Lunches vary between plated salads and buffet-style courses. I whip up homemade ice cream, so there's always a selection available for dessert at lunch.

I start prepping dinner at about 5 p.m. and usually serve it at around 7 p.m.

Depending on how active the guests have been, I may serve a little snack plate before dinner, like some fresh fruits or a charcuterie board.

By about 7 p.m., once all the guests have showered and are ready for dinner, I'll have set the table. Dominic, meanwhile, serves sundown cocktails.

Unless guests request a lighter meal, we usually do three courses — starters, mains, and desserts. I've gotten good reviews for my sushi spreads, in particular.

My homemade pasta is also generally a winner.

Sometimes, I make black pepper and truffle pasta with sauteed mushrooms and a big wagyu steak. People go nuts for that, so I must be doing something right.

We have an age limit of 12 on board the yacht. But at that age, many kids still have a limited palate, so food looks like chicken nuggets and chips or pizza all week. They generally only eat maybe two or three different meals.

Generally, mums communicate their preferences to me. So, I ensure that chicken nuggets and chips are stocked on board and heat them 20 minutes before meals.

After dessert, we clean up, stack the dishwasher, and prep for the next day. If I need to make focaccia dough or I'm doing cinnamon buns the next morning, I've got to make all the dough that evening.

After that, I can typically go to bed, which could be any time between 9:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.

Better than other restaurant jobs

Something I've enjoyed about the job is that I get to be a lot more involved with what's happening outside the kitchen,

If you're confined to working in a kitchen all day, you can feel detached from what happens outside it. And in a restaurant kitchen, you're often making the meal you've been told to make, as opposed to getting to be creative.

That's different on a yacht. I get to understand the guests and build relationships with them. And that's my favorite part of the job.

When 90 Day Fiance : Before the 90 Days star Tigerlily just nonchalantly dropped more than $25,000 on a watch, viewers had only one question in mind: what the hell does this woman do for work? The reality TV star, and Texas native, made her debut in the show’s 7th season.

Which begs the question: what does Tigerlily do for work?

Neige Concept, meanwhile, is a “minimalist line of nature-inspired, ethical, organic, and high-comfort play clothes that are easy to wear, easy to wash, and easy on the senses, so they can support your children for years to come.”

“When we choose brands, we think about the materials they use, their approach to labor practices, production processes, and waste and energy management,” the website says. “At Neige, we buy in small quantities to remove the waste, and all of our packaging is eco-friendly and compostable.”

“Despite my privilege, my life hasn’t always been the easiest. I’ve walked through fire to get to where I am today,” she said in an episode of Before the 90 Days , explaining that she left a controlling marriage and a four-year-long divorce followed, but her two children were “well taken care of” in the settlement.

Mike Lynch widow facing fresh anguish in wake of Sicily yacht tragedy

Angela Bacares, who lost British businessman husband Mike Lynch and 18-year-old daughter Hannah in the Bayesian yacht sinking, could inherit a $4billion lawsuit from Hewlett-Packard

• 09:49, 22 Sep 2024

The widow of Mike Lynch who survived the yacht sinking which killed seven - including her husband and daughter - could potentially inherit a $4billion lawsuit.

Angela Bacares lost her 59-year-old husband and daughter Hannah, 18, in the tragedy after the Bayesian superyacht moored off the coast of Palermo, Sicily, was struck by a tornado and capsized last month, killing seven. The remaining 15 on board, including Mrs Bacares, were rescued.

One month on from the sinking and the grief-stricken widow, 57, is reportedly dealing with huge "survivor's guilt" as well as facing lawsuits. It comes as the boat's captain - James Cutfield - and two other crew members are also under investigation , with Captain Cutfield potentially facing manslaughter charges.

Friends of Mrs Bacares have claimed the widow 'cannot stop crying' after losing her husband and youngest daughter. The couple's other daughter, Esme, had not been on the boat at the time. She is reported to still be suffering from injuries to her feet following the ordeal.

It's since emerged that Mrs Bacares could find herself embroiled in a $4billion (£3.02billion) damages claim from tech firm Hewlett Packard (HPE) following his US fraud case in which he was cleared of wrongdoing earlier this year. The boat trip had been in celebration of his court triumph, but despite the overseas win, UK civil proceedings in 2022 found he likely had known about impropriety at his firm Autonomy, which was sold to HPE in 2011. As a result, the damages could now be transferred to his estate.

HPE's CEO Antoni Neri confirmed earlier this month the company would be making the "difficult decision" to pursue the claim despite Mr Lynch's death in "the best interest of the shareholders". "The reality of what happened does not change what occurred in the past decade or so, where we believe wrong­doing was done," Mr Neri said.

Distressing details have also emerged over the deaths of the six people discovered in the wreckage - the seventh, the boat's chef Recaldo Thomas, was recovered from the sea. Post-mortems on the bodies of the Lynches, Jonathan and Judy Bloomer and Chris and Neda Morvillo revealed there was no water in their lungs, suggesting they did not die from drowning but instead from suffocation.
