The Yacht People

It started from a craigslist ad. That's how I found the Yacht People. People who have princes on their blackberries and private contacts at Cristal. I'm just a student who found a way into the world of the well connected, beautiful and ultra rich. Fabulous.

Through the Looking Glass

No, my name isn’t Alice. May as well be considering the surreal quality of this whole experience.

High net worth individuals? 3 million in LIQUID assets? That’s a whole lot of wealth I can’t even imagine.

Its a whole new perspective of life that comes with a boat, a mansion and just a neat little getaway in the Bahamas. Luxury isn’t the day at the spa— its the freedom to do what you like, whenever you like.

This market just shifts much of what I think of conventional marketing tactics. Exclusivity and perfection are the norm. In the words of MadMen— its not about making their needs feel met but making them feel they have no needs at all. Just make them love you through underpromising and overdelivering.

But when you think about the amount of wealth, excellence and power 150 people will have in a room, that’s just a marketer’s dream. People who love the good life love to spend on the finer things.

“Yes sir, that plane is for sale. I’ll pass it on to the owner that you’re interested”
