Yachting Careers: Superyacht Brokerage Reality and Life After Yachting | Rich AF

Superyacht brokerage is not what yacht crew think it is.
And life after yachting is where most people get caught out.

In this episode of Rich AF, Charl Minnaar (The Yachting Investor) sits down with yacht broker Antonio Palazuelos Archdale of FGI Yachts to break down the reality of transitioning from yacht crew to land-based careers in the yachting industry.

From entering yacht brokerage with no network to spending heavily before closing a single deal, Antonio explains why the superyacht brokerage world is a long-term game built on relationships, persistence, and financial resilience.

The conversation then shifts into life after yachting. What happens when the structure disappears, expenses become real, and time is no longer controlled for you. They unpack the financial shock many crew face, the challenges of managing time on land, and why so many people underestimate how difficult the transition can be.

They also take a hard look at lifestyle creep in yachting, from hobby spending to luxury traps, and why failing to plan ahead leaves too many crew starting over with nothing despite years of high income.
