Aesha Scott
• Hometown: Tauranga, New Zealand
• Birthdate: Nov. 27
• Zodiac sign: Sagittarius
• Years of experience in yachting: 8
• Favorite off-boat activities: I love hiking, yoga and reading. Sipping a cocktail in the sun while reading a book is probably my favorite activity.
• What do you do in your off time in your room on the boat? I’m usually so busy going over orders or preferences for the next charter guests. I try to send a message to Scott or nap if I can. Even 10 minutes of closed eyes is a dream.
• What is the best place on the boat to find privacy? Privacy doesn’t really exist on a boat. Cleaning a guest bathroom is probably the most privacy I’ll get and I often enjoy quiet time in there. Otherwise, when I’m in the shower.
• What’s one thing about working and living on a boat that would surprise people? Stews don’t spend much time outside. When you finish a season people are always shocked that we aren’t tan. “But you work on a boat!?” We work inside and don’t see much sun and definitely don’t swim until the season is over.
• Sum up this season in three words: Unexpected emotional rollercoaster
