#58 Deck the Hulls: Life at Sea in December with Ex Chief Stew Gemma Hulbert

In this festive‑season special, we’re joined by Gemma Hulbert - former Chief Stew and founder of The Yacht Stew Academy - for an honest, warm and insightful look at what December really feels like onboard a superyacht. From decorations and traditions to the realities of long hours and being far from home, Gemma shares stories from nearly a decade at sea and the creative ways crew keep morale high during one of the busiest times of the year.

Key Topics:

✔ How different-sized yachts approach festive planning✔ The role of interior crew (and even “celebrations officers”) in bringing seasonal cheer onboard

✔ Managing varied cultural traditions and guests who may not celebrate the holidays✔ The emotional side of working away from family — and the importance of connection✔ The most memorable crew Christmases Gemma experienced, including themed parties, cabin decorating competitions, and even a reindeer‑themed forklift

✔ Tips for crew spending their first festive season at sea

✔ A look into Gemma’s work with The Yacht Stew Academy and the training, mentorship and community it provides
