While chasing a 2017 story about medical tourism and Slovakian stem cells that had already taken me to hospital facilities in Bratislava and Vienna, I wound up partying on a 283-foot yacht floating in the French Riviera. As I watched intoxicated rich people having expensive fun in their cheap white shower slippers — first rule of yacht club is there are no shoes on the yacht, which are instead piled in a big heap at the yacht’s entrance — I began to wonder, “How could anyone spend their whole life doing this?”
Then, almost on cue, seated at a table on the rear deck with Lindsay Lohan and her entourage, I spotted a dude who had, in fact, spent his entire life doing this. Alex Jimenez was a professional yacht influencer, and he was hard at work.

PS: I had no idea there was such a thing
I worked on the cruise ships in the Carribean years ago and had lots of interesting conversations with other people much more world wise than me in this industry. There is a big difference between working on a yacht/ship and being a guest on them and the richer the vessel the bigger the pricks that own/are guests on them was the general consensus.
Interesting times indeed!
Yacht influencer – social media has created a whole new world of career opportunities. I should get into it.
