Qué cubre este vídeo

Jorman and guest Ricardo, a veteran charter captain who worked up to megayachts, discuss the realities of working and living aboard boats in Ibiza, contrasting professional charter work with genuine liveaboard sailing. Ricardo describes running 700-plus charter trips, including a near-miss storm return to port when five charter boats departed despite a known incoming squall, losing deck cushions and passengers within a mile, then fighting to dock a 12-meter boat without a bow thruster while other boats collided around him.0:48 He details brokers selling charters regardless of weather, captains boarding unfamiliar boats with no briefing on breakers or engine status, and the cumulative toll of rotating through different vessels each day.4:29 Ricardo also recounts a charter anchorage in Algarve where a poorly anchored tourist boat dragged for 40 minutes toward his sailboat, requiring him to board it by dinghy after exhausting all sound and light signals.13:00 Megayacht captain salaries run €9,000–€12,000 per month; the chief engineer, who assumes command if the captain is incapacitated, earns less.20:28 Jorman distinguishes his own "liveaboard experience" program — no alcohol, sail-only, guests learning real passage-making — from the charter industry he rejects on environmental and safety grounds.15:56
