Thanks for the shout out! I am a marine engineer and can say that it feels great to be appreciated by the other crew, and likewise big shout out to people like you who are great cooks. It truly makes all the difference in a trip when you have good cooks and meals you are looking forward to having everyday!

@elihavalot8111 2 года назад

Having good food and upbeat crew members makes all the difference, and Nina combines culinary skill with such a positive attitude that she will succeed at whatever it is to which she is attracted. I've urged her to consider doing videos with other crew chefs or land-based chefs, helping them prepare some of their favorite meals and trying various alternatives to the recipes. I imagine other chefs, both on yachts and in nice restaurants would enjoy having their favorite meals featured on her videos, and she would meet many more chefs who really enjoy preparing exquisite meals. Watching her and her helpers slice, dice and prepare meals several times faster than reality was also very entertaining, since, as I always say: "I love work. I could watch it all day long!"

@reecesaliba7036 2 года назад

Yeah its really amazing to hear that shout out! I feel too often the rest of the crew barely know how hard you are working until something breaks, and all of a sudden you become the most important person in the world. But of course chefs make the difference between an amazing trip and a horrible one, so galley repairs are priority 1! Keep up the great work!

I am not sure what country this is specific to. But at least in the united States, the Chief Engineer is at the same level as the Master

@laurat92 2 года назад

Hi Chef -- I love your videos. I'd love to watch a "Fact or Fiction" video comparing your experience on super yachts vs. the depiction on Below Deck!

@tecwzrd 2 года назад

Reality TV is always going to have "drama" to get viewers but I'm sure interpesonal relationships can be hit or miss on yachts.

@bionicsjw 2 года назад

I quit watching Below Deck. Too much drama and so unrealistic compared to real yaacht channels.

@laurat92 2 года назад

@@tecwzrd Agree - I'm sure it's a professional atmosphere, but I'd be curious if instances like guest freak outs over food happen... or the tension in the kitchen at service. Just thoughts! :)

Below deck fan, I’m glad it’s just a tv production and the boats aren’t run like that. But here I get to see the real thing. Thank you for sharing and thank to the loon crew for allowing the camera onboard

@kingbuzzo8703 2 года назад

I am an old salty dredge hand who has been on barges, tugs, and dredges for almost 15 tears now. Your engineers are the most important. I have seen plenty of shiny chrome sink in my time. But food is very important. Eating slop gives you a slop crew and that can be equally as dangerous.

@winky32174 2 года назад

I've worked on both private and commercial vessels, and your description is spot on. Except commercial; you have to clean your own cabin and head, and they do have regular inspections!

@Cornfed41 2 года назад

@sunriseshowdown4580 2 года назад

I never knew the details of a "Super Yacht" as you have described in this video. I am absolutely impressed with you knowledge for the boat, crew and the love for cooking. I LOVE IT! You give an adventure and allow others to join you in those experiences who otherwise wouldn't have learned the curiosity of adventure, knowledge of boat ethics and of course your awesome cooking. I hope one day I can try that delicious food that you make. Keep up the good work!!!

@dvlajko Год назад

I am so happy I discovered this channel, I was navigating officer for 10 years on container vessels and got my skipper licence after that but than got a totally different job on land. so this is what I've missed so far. :) please keep up with your vlogs/videos, these are so much fun and you are so charismatic and enjoyable to watch

@mariannamitchell5283 2 года назад

Very nicely wrapped up in a nutshell. Yes, lots of work keeping a vessel nice and well running. We just have a 33ft sailboat that is fairly new and in fantastic shape-keeping it that way is work. I appreciate the scrubbing of the deck several times a week since birds/bugs are always bombing the deck. Well done. Love your channel including all your cooking tips!!!

@petebart147 2 года назад

I could honestly listen to you talk all day I love your accent. Oh and watching you cook keep up the good work

@shoot4thstars Год назад

I love this kind of video! Please do more behind-the-scenes videos telling how it really works. It’s great to live vicariously through you. I will never get to travel on a yacht and many others won’t either… You are our connection to fascinating part of life.

@daynadaily8073 Год назад

I love that you gave kudos to other departments. I bet it is a lot of work. I work in a hospital for housekeeping and work in the kitchen for a nursing home. It is alot of work, and teamwork is a must! We all work together for the patient, resident, guests. Keep up the great work. I help the chef out however i can during my down time, so cutting veggies, cleaning area, etc. Every little bit helps. :)

@eliworley6804 2 года назад

Hi chef I love your videos, my precious granddaughter went to Ft Lauderdale to learn everything about being a all around everything on the yacht. I am so excited for her. At 20 years old the sky is the limit for her. All of these videos help us understand what she has to look forward to. Thank you so much

@t.r.campbell6585 2 года назад

It seems that you have been absent for a while. Very good to have you back. Welcome aboard. There was an old saying that the Captain runs the ship and the Chief Engineer makes the ship run. The Chef feeds both.

@ChrisChapmanIAm 2 года назад

Superb! Really enjoy the way you explain the super yachting world and how crews work - fascinating content. Stuff you'd never see any other way.

@tidelovinyankee1368 Год назад

Finally, a video from which I can learn something. There are so many videos which review or describe the yacht, brokers talking up the yacht which is for sale, and Below Deck, which is an absolute farce. You have touched on all aspects of the yacht, and for that, I thank you. Please continue to cover various areas and functions of the super yacht, its crew, and its operation. I found your channel a few weeks ago, and I quickly subscribed.

@giannidileo 2 года назад

If I ever would go on a yacht cruise I would want you guys. Very professional and would make the money well worth it. Thanks for starting this channel. I look forward to the next video!!! Love from Maine❤️

@djahant 2 года назад

Such a great explanation of different ships and crews. I love this channel. Kudos to engineering staff for keeping everyone safe and fixing everything. I can't imagine a lifestyle where I could go on charter but I love watching you cook. I can make my own charter at home using some of your recipes. Please more videos.

@rogerbayzand4455 2 года назад

A really enjoyable summary Nina. Yachts have grown into super yachts in my lifetime, the largest one I worked on was 112 feet and that was the biggest vessel based in Malta at the time but tiny by today's standards.

This was a chill but really wish you had Spilled the Tea on some more CRAZIER topics like: 1) Yacht girls. Let’s hear it. 2) How the super rich actually treat you. Is it consistently good? What about how they treat the women? 3) Do the crew members hook up a lot. Based on the airline industry, stewardesses and pilots hook-up ALOT.

I've seen a few other channels explain the yacht crew breakdown, but I have to state that yours encompassed what others did not. All those responsibilities make me dream of owning a yacht with 8 crew minimum. Just a 150 footer for me. Maybe a wee bit more. ;)

When I was the chef on a hunting plantation one guy was looking for a chef for his 150ft steel expedition yacht. The tender for that boat is a Merritt 86(give or take a foot) The issues I had with supply on the plantation were enough. I can't imagine trying to do it at sea. Hats off

Maybe the little thing that I wakted to say is that in the list of the importance of the roles and the officers order, Master then second with Chief Eng.
