How to Ruin an $800,000 Vacation? Hire the Wrong Person on Your Superyacht
Josh Golder's 154-foot superyacht, King Benji, is a floating mansion, with five bedrooms, a rainshower and steam room, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, open deck areas for lounging, a hot tub and cold plunge, a formal dining room and a teppanyaki bar. Keeping it in order—for Golder as well as his charter clients—requires a staff of around 10 people. Finding the right ones is a job in itself.
While searching for 'the cream of the crop,' Golder, a Miami entrepreneur, says he has fired more than 50 people in a single year.
