Het personeel aan boord van miljoenen kostende zeil- en motorjachten slaapt meestal in piepkleine hutjes die diep zijn weggestopt. Meestal bevinden de hutten zich op het onderdek en is er nauwelijks beweegruimte.
We zijn bij vijf luxe jachten aan boord gegaan op zoek naar de goed weggestopte hutjes: de Princess Y72, de Oyster 595, de Sunseeker 74 Predator, de Princess F65 en de Oyster 885. In de meeste hutten is nauwelijks daglicht en bevinden de bedden zich op of naast een wasmachine.
Bekijk hieronder hoe het personeel aan boord van luxe jachten moet slapen, douchen, relaxen en hun spullen moet opbergen.

Sailing and motor yachts, especially those that go on charter, usually have crew to serve the owner or guests.

That means there needs to be space inside the yacht for crew to sleep, relax, wash, and store their belongings.

Insider visited five luxury yachts that feature tucked-away crew cabins. The Princess Y72, worth around $3 million, can accommodate eight people in four cabins. One is an optional crew cabin accessible from the lower deck.

There were two very narrow single beds in the cabin, as well as a private bathroom and storage space. The interior design was similar to the guest cabins.

The tiniest crew quarters I came across were on the Sunseeker 74 Predator yacht. There were three guest cabins on the main deck and a crew cabin on the lower deck.

Crew members access their cabin from the rear deck. The door is easy to miss.

Steep stairs lead down to the teeny crew cabin. The first bunk sits on top of the washing machine.

A second bunk sits under the first. There wasn't much space to move around.

It was pretty dark inside, with the only natural light coming from a small porthole.

Next to the stairs was a slim bathroom with toilet, basin, and shower.

It has four cabins, including one optional cabin for crew. This tiny cabin was located in the middle of the yacht next to the stairs up to the main deck.

The bed was very narrow and sat on top of storage cupboards. There was a small porthole next to the bed looking out onto the sea.

The crew cabin, next to the kitchen, was a long, narrow room with two single bunks. There was also storage space.

The captain's cabin was much more impressive, with its wide bed, roomy ensuite bathroom, and wall-mounted TV. Of all the crew quarters I saw, it was by far the most luxurious.
