I went through most of my life earning a 6 figure salary with bonuses every year but I was never 100% happy.. A few years back the company I was working for went under. I took a few months off before setting out looking for work. Plenty of jobs out there similar to what I did and I got a few offers. In the end I turned them down. I mate of mine who runs a pub in our village jokingly said "Why don't you come work for me? " For the last 2 years I have been working the bar during the week and run the kitchen on Sundays and I couldn't be happier.
I would do 4 years in prison for a million dollars! Let alone a sweet yacht, let alone being the captain of said yacht... insane.
My sister was a millionaire and she was absolutely miserable half the time and because of her money now she's dead.. money doesn't make you happy it just makes you comfortable...
Dude time to stop wearing the AWOL captain uniform. Moving forward
Having to be trapped anywhere for four years rather it’s on a yacht or in a prison cell is not worth $1 million. And knowing that you couldn’t leave because they gave you that million dollars would definitely make it a prison. Anytime you can’t leave whenever you want to you’re in prison. It doesn’t matter if you’re in a car with someone at a grocery store or at the dinner table if you are not allowed to walk away when you want to that’s prison
Tristan , I'm watching this in 2024 , I used to watch all your AWOL video's and I do miss them , you are one of the most level headed , logically thinking people on youtube , you was made a fantastic offer , you thought it through thoroughly as you always do , money is nice obviously but would it make you and your wife happier ? , would it affect your family plans for the future ? , the answers were no and yes respectively and those answers logically made the decision to decline the offer. I hope you and Giv are happy and content with life and long may it continue
Congratulations on your ethics! I have been a captain for 30 years and I had a similar situation a couple of weeks ago and also declined. Balance and happiness with the family are the most important everyday goals I always had.
So many people think if they only had millions of dollars, and I always ask them what they would buy and I add no duplicates most of them can’t even come close to needing millions . All of the important things in life can’t be purchased
Like the message at the end, reminds me of Jim Carrey Quote "I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.”
Hi Tristan. You not prepared to name the bottom 3, but would you be able to mention who in your opinion are the top 10 manufacturers?
I have no clue how I got here but glad I arrived. Very interesting life. 20 years at sea in a "tight" living/working space is enough for you and your wife. Best of luck moving forward to you both.
Life changes for everyone its all about being happy good on putting your wife and future first.. Saying that i miss the Crew and AWOL videos no one else did them like you and the crew
You and your wife are the good people of this world. Thankful, respectful and honest. Good call.
I’m a wealthy guy by most standards but it took me until 68yrs of age to realise what you have found earlier in life that wealth is fantastic but you can only eat so much lobster as my son said to me one day recently. I now have stepped out of running our businesses & work 3 x days at a food kitchen for the poor in our city. Never have I had so much enjoyment helping others.
I am astounded by your principles and integrity. I have to wholeheartedly support your decision. Money doesn’t insure happiness. You have my utmost respect. We need more people that hold to their values and principles.
Great video Tristan!
This is the first time I stumbled on your YT videos> I'm not in to sailing, yachting or or whatever, but man, your eloquence and being a real gentleman really hits. Not a single negative word or comments. you now have my like & subs. 🙂
Unusual for a Brit to be so up himself he needed to share this!!
I absolutely get that. I was also a super yacht captain for 27 years, mainly the Med, Caribbean and East coast USA. Like you, I worked with my wife for 16 of those years. In 2008 I flew to NY for an interview with someone who was buying a 65meter Benetti.. I got the job..but, on the flight back, I woke up at some point and had a bit of an epiphany and decided that I really didn’t want to commit to another four or five years. Also, with age, it was becoming a little more difficult to deal with owners who won’t take responsibility for their own decisions or actions…So I stopped. And am very happy that I did. Yachting is a fantastic career, if you have the right character for it, and I hugely enjoyed it..ultimately both the good and the bad times. My daughter is also still on the yachts..I think she has also done 20 years!! How time flies when having fun! Thanks for the videos, always good to watch 👍
