This reality series profiles a group of young people who work aboard yachts that measure well over 100 feet long. The crew members, known as yachties, live aboard the luxurious, privately owned vessels while making sure that their demanding clients' ever-changing needs are met. The yachties share a passion for a job that allows them to visit some of the world's most beautiful places. Each episode features a different group of passengers -- ranging from millionaires to hard-partying friends -- as they head out for a marine adventure. The crews live by the "work hard, play harder" motto that gives them access to exotic perks few people get to experience.

It doesn't even have enough drama to sustain one episode. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 04/10/2020
The pilot isn't too bad. The disagreements among the crew seem more genuine at this point, compared to the hyped-up nonsense of other shows, but the oceans are vast and things could get more confrontational. Go to Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times 04/10/2020
The real issue with this series is that the crew members aren't all that interesting. There are the usual catfights and territorial disputes, as well as some hints that intra-crew sex might happen. But no one really stands out. Go to Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies 11/06/2020
The 21st Century Marie Antoinette levels of excess and indulgence...I binged this like I have never binged before. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 04/10/2020

It's not the sort of show you should tune into if you want to learn more about the charter boat industry, but it certainly offers a voyeuristic guilty pleasure. Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 04/10/2020
It's a toss-up as to who's more obnoxious. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
