As a 47m superyacht docked in the British Virgin Islands, I admired its beauty. Equipped with a large sun deck, hot tub, outdoor bar and luxury accommodation for up to 10 guests, motor yacht Ohana was worth more than £8 million, and cost around £120,000 per week to charter.
It was 2014, and Season Two of Below Deck was being filmed on board. Cameras captured the crew’s wild antics as they catered to crazy guest demands, plied themselves with champagne on days off and got up to mischief.
