Having the chance to interview and question a Superyacht owner was an absolute privilege. If it is one thing I truly love to do, its question and learn from those that have done incredibly well in life. Sit down and simply ask. How? Why? Should? Would? SO MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK. Hope you enjoyed the insight.

We built two yachts for Chris, his Lazzara 80 and 116'. He is first class. Brilliant interview with great questions and answers! Nice job Jared!
Are these yachts painted or gel coat thanks for your time...
I have an 68ft OA going bigger
You guys rock!!
amazing vessel guys/gals555555
Excellent interview, Jared! Yes. This gentleman (yacht owner) comes across as first-class. He is a family man. A hard worker. And, he cares about his crew! Way to go! Wishing you both much success. 😊
Whats his last name
Great interview. It’s refreshing to see a person that appreciates and rewards his employees. I bet the returns are tenfold.
Totally! It was such an awesome interview even for me
I'd like to study this man what is his name??
@gyno You sound jelly.
@gyno Lol, stfu jelly kid. You upset your life has amounted to nothing and your parents didn't leave you sh*t?
Tough luck for being born in a degenerate family. But hey don't hate on others. Hate yourself.
@@farzana6676 Bit to much.
Humble people with money are the best people with money
mostly the older generations are more humble lol nowadays all of the young rich kids just flex with designer crap
Just like MrBeast
Im_Benton Roblox Mr Beast gives away more than any one I have ever seen he is definitely a very humble and very intelligent young man
Vast majority of wealthy people are like this, random people like us just have a this biased idea of mean and selfish billionaires because of media and politics.
Majority of wealthy people don’t flaunt. You just see the five wealthy family’s who do flaunt which gives a bad name to everyone else.
My first boat was bought with the help of Ms Lyra Holt Dean. Sailing is thousands of years old and we continue this long-lasting, intriguing and at the same time dangerous tradition! Throughout history sailing has helped various civilizations to develop and prosper as people sailed accross oceans to settle in new undiscovered areas. Each time we set a sail it’s as if you could feel the same excitement, uncertainty and craving for adventure as it used to be thousands of years ago. In a way sailing is like a bridge connecting us with times long lost.
@Lewis Hamilton NO, we are just business partners. She is a financial Analyst I met in 2012 that changed my perspective about making money and spending money. We all need someone like that.
I am sure you would do a lot of boat riding or rather sailing this summer.
@Lewis Hamilton I dont think its allowed to drop email address her. If you wish to reach out to her search her full name online and you will find her
I love sailing because it makes me feel awake and alive - but also because it gives me moments of peace, meditation and stillness. ...
the sense of order on a boat, where everything has a place and a function, and it's possible to make everything shipshape.
This is obviously one of the best videos about yachting, business, human relations, etc.
That’s so epic to hear. Thank you man. I sincerely appreciate that
Wow, I am really impressed by the owner! I have never had the pleasure of working for someone with such morale values, appreciation of his captain and crew. He deserves all that he has acquired and will acquire because of the type of person he is. He could teach many business owners how to do the right things and prosper and have a crew that will work so much harder for a man of his stature and beliefs.
Awesome video Jared! Thanks for bringing this Q & A to us.
My absolute pleasure! Appreciate the comment and appreciation my friend.
This owner is sooooo humble; sho!! God bless his heart, staff and family.
You clearly don't know what the word "humble" actually means.
As if wealthy people are mean...those are also just normal people. You can talk to them like anybody else
@@2011blueman In what way is he not humble? He's open about the fact that he's 3rd generation wealthy and not self made, admits how incredibly fortunate he is and shows respect to his employees and those less fortunate than him. That fits quite neatly into the definition of humble.
@@ddandymann I don't think you know what humble means.
@@2011blueman Definition of humble:
'having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's importance.'
Everything I said above fits into this definition.
Where is the crew to give Chris a refilll?
that was the funniest shit fuck
LMFAO HAHAAAA
the first fill took over most the bottle with that mega glass size
What I thought!
Right
Wow... 5% of charter income and a bonus!?! This is the type of person who makes you WANT to work for them; not HAVE to work for them. Great guy!
You must be digging for something 🤣
This guy knows the basics. Take care of your crew and they will take care of you. This is the key to success in all business and life! Nice to see there are still some people with character left in this world.
Keeping the wealth beyond the third generation speaks volumes about how hard and smart this guy works. Lots of lessons to learn here
True. If you can actually manage money effectively AND keep a job at the same time, you'll be alright financially. Just look at all the videos of people who became millionaires by winning the lottery and went broke in only 2 years. The biggest fool was Andrew Whittaker Jr, who LOST a whopping $300 million! Wow, that has to be the most compulsive, reckless spender ever...
All the respect to the owner for stressing the importance of staying humble and sharing your blessings with others! Hats off to you! From a Tampa boater on a much smaller scale!
Amazing interview, Jared! Chris seems like such a cool down-to-earth guy, appreciate this insight 🙌🏽
My absolute pleasure Savanna
Hi Jared,
I enjoyed watching the video. Chris seems like a very down to earth guy. He was obviously given a leg up in life, but definitely appreciates everything he's been given and instead of settling for what he had has worked hard to maintain and grow his lifestyle. He really seems to appreciate not only his family and friends, but also the people that work for him. I see a lot of those same qualities in you. I see how far you have come in a short period of time. You have a strong work ethic and the respect you give to everyone around you whether a yacht owner or one of your viewers just starting out will serve you well. As Wilson Mizner said, "Be nice to people on the way up because you'll meet them on the way down".
I have no doubt I will be watching someone interviewing you someday to find out the secret of your success. Keep up the good work. Love ya brother.
He wasn’t “given” a leg up. He earned it
That was a great interview. Well done. What he says about mutual respect goes a long way in all facets of life as well, not just as a boat owner or business owner, just treating people anywhere with mutual respect.
Very nice of him to do this interview with you. Thank you both.
Very, very interesting.
That's very difficult to have an owner giving answers on camera.
I can't imagine a better way to sell a yacht.
Great video.
Now we want to see the yacht!
Speaking as an 80 year old former business owner, I see the truth in what this man says. There are many routes to wealth and many pitfalls. During my years in business I found that I really didn't want to work enough to be rich; I just wanted to make enough and I enjoyed helping my customers.
Well Jared what a fantastic interview. As a tradie I found it best working with long term crew. They are lucky to have an owner like him. Great stuff. Realy enjoying you work. Thanks.
Been binge watching your videos recently. Cannot get enough. Keep it up mate!
Thank you so much man! More coming
This man appears to be awesome. Good to his crew/employees and willing to answer these questions. Great interview for sure.
Thank you Grant! Appreciate the kind words
His family invented aerosol, oh he got money money 😂
Great interview. I see your happiness. For everyone reading this. Read law of attraction. I am an eighth grade dropout. I am an ex felon. Totally changed my life years ago and own several businesses now. You can do and have whatever you want in life. I don’t care if you are sweeping floors. Start your own business, if you are good at it and take pride in what you do , you will be successful. I’m telling you , it’s not as hard as everyone thinks it is. You just have to do it. If everyone reading this , put just twenty hours a week into their own business, they would make ten times what they make now. If you don’t believe me , try it for 6 months. You just have to do it. It’s not that hard. Trust me. Thanks for the vid. Keep it up. Thank you.
1735mike Ditto
I'm happy you're out there ballin' but unfortunately not everyone can come up with a great idea. I think that's the toughest part, to come up with an idea that will allow you to make a lot of money...
1735mike Yeah but do your businesses afford you a yacht. Ok, thanks.
@@albertledesma5173 gotta start somewhere.
Start with freedom
1735mike sx
What has kept this guy humble is hard work and the products which he sells.
Sooooooo freaking awesome!!!
This is a first time a Mega yacht owner speaks on camera 😀
Yuck Foutube That is so mean! Why project your bitterness onto this businessman/yacht owner who cares about his crew?
Excellent interview and video Jared, as a younger guy who owns a successful contracting business on a much smaller scale than being able to purchase a yacht I agree 100%. Much of success is hard work, determination, and never giving up or excepting no as an answer. The rest is being in the right place at the right time and creating the right contacts .
Love the concept of being able to interview an “owner”! Think it was hugely successful.
Someone else who follows Richard Branson's ethos 'Take care of your staff and your staff will take care of your business' So very true.
@@ludwigwittgenstein2422 What are you on about?
@@caolanjames2498 He is saying Branson is a scumbag... which he is.
good to see an owner do something like this, he understands its a benefit for him in terms of getting people to view his yacht and hes also helping out old Jared
Thank you, Chris! I’m sure viewers with visions of crewing or owning learned a lot. And it was fun! Well done, Jared!
Thank you! I hope so as well. Lots to see and learn from in this video
Chris is a cool guy. It doesn't just apply to yachting but to all aspects of business that employers should value and appreciate the staff they employ and I try to do that in all of my busnesses.
We have had the same crew on our yacht for the last 5 years and they are on full time contracts where they are paid even out of season. So many other yachts struggle to keep good crew for extended periods. You cannot keep people on what amount to temporary contracts and expect them to remain on standby for you, they have lives of their own to live.
Great video
true Amanda we have 25 employnees for 8years now same crew
In 1949, Edward H. Seymour, of Sycamore, added paint to existing spray can technology at his wife Bonnie's suggestion. It was initially designed to demonstrate an aluminum paint he developed.His patent was awarded in 1951
fabulous interview with Chris, owner of Yacht, very informative and his crew is important to him. Awesome interview by Jared
for people asking about the wine glass.
the wine glass is a self control device. A) it keeps him from being over expressive and exposing his position. B) the wine glass covers his genitals keeping him from feeling over exposed on camera.
5:50 to 7:00 answering the question about his inherited wealth made him extremely uncomfortable. double shoulder shrugs are a dead give away.
the constant right hand finger tapping during the reading of questions shows nervousness, as it is timed with the foot taps. Chris was anxious about the questions.
despite the fear and anxiety he answers every question with integrity and honesty, Chris is definitely a stand up guy.
James GoesOff holy shit James you went off
@@Vohmz nice....nice.
What utter crap, you have no clue how he responds to other types of questions
Very down to earth conversation you both are very sincere my hat is off to Chris for even doing the interview and being so open great guy in my opinion rich but not higher than any one else
This was an awesome video. Chris was ridiculously humble and seems to appreciate the opportunity he was given. Great Q&A session. And as someone else pointed out, Chris needed a refill!
This owner is amazing! Listing ro him say that he takes in consideration the rest time of the crew and the fact they have families...my owner is the exact opposite
Excellent. Most informative, helped by an engaging and open owner. The interviewer was reasonably at ease too.
Great interview , and the best part when he says he doesn't micro-manage , I'm not into boats , I'm into airplanes but it's kinda the same when your boss micro-manages the thing and then things keep going wrong
Great info
Great questions
Great inside scoop on family, business, very HUMBLE yacht owner - MUCH MUCH respect for that !!!
Now fill that wine glass up !!! and bring on the ladies !!
Great job scoring this interview! Keep up the great work Jared!
Thanks so much
Great job man, you have that confident, well thought-out, upfront respect and charisma that is unique to South Africans (you know what I mean). This made it a really good interview, and not one which panders to the owner. Coupled with the owner's ubuntu, this made this a treat to watch. Well played sir. Well played.
This was an AMAZING interview!!! What a great opportunity and what a great humble down to earth man he is!! Thank you so much for doing this Jared! I really enjoy your videos!
Super interesting for sure - just gives you a different perspective - when I first started watching your channel it was behind the scenes day to day about you and now you get to see so many different views. Excellent interview - can’t wait for the tour and what’s next !! Almost to 50k bro !!!
Thank you Joe! The reason I didn’t simply just go back to another boat was because I saw the potential in creating a variety of behind the scenes content. Happy to see someone like you appreciating it! Thank you man
You know you are suave when you just hold an empty wine glass for an interview.
"You are so fucking suave!" - Frank Booth 😎
Or, you're a drunk.
Boofer T. Washington Yeah but you're a drunk with money, sounds amazing
Kinda like hint hint wink wink smack smack
He seems very down to earth nd really quite nice to hang out with.
The owner is Chris he owns Seymour of sycamore paints $35million a year turn over
Bru, you were very calm cool and collected with some good questions. Well done! I know talking to these people can be very nerve wrecking sometimes.
Chris seems like such a down to earth guy. Love the interview. Good stuff there
The owner of the luxury yacht looks very honest and it is seen that he has achieved his goals with effort and to get ahead I believe that dreams are pursued and achieved but thanks for the words of a person like the one who helps a lot to have goals and achieve them it's never too late congratulations
Thank you, both you and Chris for this and especially the owner for his openness. This is, on top of simply interesting and fascinating, a very helpfull video for understanding and respect amongst and across all layers of society (I know it sounds really pompous but really, you know what I mean). If I ever reach the relevant level of financial wealth I will consider his, whichever it is by that time, families yacht first for chartering. He deserves the business :)
Thank you so much for the comment and appreciation. I’m sure Chris will read these comments!
That's something a lot of people no matter what their status in life is, money and looks can all be gone in the blink of an eye. Be greatfull for what you have, especially at this level.
Once again goolly good show! What a brilliant interview and look into the mind of a yacht owner! great work!
" Wife...… Walk naked around yacht at sea not at the dock!" EPIC quote! Enjoying your work in Richahstan USA!!!! aka Palm Beach
Such a sad story about Lazzara Yachts in Tampa.....In college my neighbor did modeling for that Yacht co.. great yachts until the economic downturn took them down the tubes.. Really too bad. They were a awesome American Yacht builders and a terrific family from Tampa!
This guy is amazing, i mean the way he's open n humble. I would love to work for this guy
Thanks Jared, you’re the only one I’ve seen do such a video. Very interesting to here from an owner! Wow, I never thought I would get that chance.
Honest open interview and fascinating ,thank you both.
Super amazing video!!! Chris is a cool guy for sharing this info with the world!
His open spirit contributes to his success!!
Well now I want to work for this man! He sounds so down to earth, experienced and seems to be treating his crew with such great respect.
"I haven't read any of them myself" .... "There were some interesting ones, a couple of them asked.."
Great owner and human being ... good values underpins his success.
Great interview, interesting questions and enjoyed Chris' candor. Pro-tip/suggestion for (hopefully) future AASYOA, improve the audio (perhaps lav mics? less echo) and find an equally nice interviewee. The latter may be the toughest part. ;)
Fantastic video! Great info for those of us who live vicariously through these clips and plan to be yacht owners after we win mega-millions!
Most people would find success if they came from where he does but he does seem down to earth . Good for him.
Not really. He's not living off a trust fund, he's running the business. It's a million miles apart and you can't just sit still and watch the money come in when you're the boss. You need the skills to keep things going and improving.
the best time on my boat was when i was alone and not having to entertain or clean up after anyone
For a man coming from wealth (no offense) he is very down to earth, has some great advice but also was asked the right questions, btw have subbed to your channel, great video content & beautiful video quality, cheers from down under.
Chris, first rate, you are the kind of person I would love to work for. I wish you and your family the best.
Chris is the owner. Not the captain. Some of you aren’t getting that.
Captain of his own Destiny !
Sassy Mouth I got it.
He used to be the Captain, lol.
Really great interview... Seems like such a grounded, normal owner... And as you said, very nice for him to be so considerate of the crew! Maybe it was the service side of me, but that empty glass he was holding for 20 minutes was killing me... I was desperate to top it up with something! :D
Awesome Interview Jared! Chris is an amazing person, very humble, love the part when he treats his crew as family. Its very rare to see owners like these. Great content Jared! Keep up the good work! God speed!
Brought me to tears when Chris talked about humility, beautiful man & hope he and his family have plenty more beautiful memories on that wonderful yacht.
This is the owner all crew dream of 🤙🏻
Money talks, you can be nice to your crew and under pay them.....
Yacht owners are the nicest people in the world till you need money ....
They take that very personally....
Yacht owners did not buy or build yachts giving away all their money..
Yacht owners are cheap bastards...
@@thebutler7284 idk, why would you buy a yacht (basically a toy) and cheap out on a few thousands worth of wages
@@user-hs2hd7wp9g You dont buy a yacht with wages, you buy with good investments.
If you think about or are worried about money forget buying a yacht
Money is large numbers on paper only....
@@thebutler7284 you can't generalise them. Most of them are assholes. Some of them are very nice and down to Earth. I don't see this guy underpaying his crew.
That guy seems hella cool. He operates his life like I do. Respect and pay your employees/ crew well and everyone can have a great life. Can't wait to buy my first super yacht in about 15 years.
It is great to see and hear from a guy who is down to earth and treats staff/crew as family. It is all about staff people. Good staff makes life simple and enjoyable. Great video Jared
Thank god my years as a yacht captain are behind me. Last one was 180" , helicopter on the flight deck, the whole bit. I left the business because a doctor told me I was going to end up in either a mental hospital or a physical one.
My slogan is, live the dream ...
It has changed to, live your dream, Great video...
Nurturing the crew is number one in any business... It’s the way I have always operated with great success and longevity.
Thanks Jared!
Inspiring :) can't wait to build my first yacht. I love how respectful and appreciative he is of his crew ❤️
A yacht with a “man cave” where cigar smoking commences! Nice! 😊
Excellent job! Hope you get to do more interviews like this, you have a knack for it. Very nice of the owner to give you that kind of access/answers. Really seems like a grounded guy (family and employees) in a world where that is not the majority.
You know what fair play to the guy, he’s not arrogant and fairly humble... lucky SHIT!!!!
💯 percent props to the owner being so real, thank you so much
Very shallow draft: double-edged sword. Maybe you can get into more places but you'll be running from every storm cell and probably won't even leave harbour if the swell is too high.
This was my favorite video of yours yet !!! Very kool , I’ve been trying to figure out some of the same questions you asked it was very very kool !! Also with a plane there are new companies to charter planes also
Thank you so much. So glad it was well received
I love getting into the minds of people weather it’s a well off business man or a school teacher I love finding out what makes people do what they do and him allowing you to ask questions and then answer was very very kool .... again this was my favorite video
A big thanks to Chris for his time and great info
Chris recognising that you can work hard and still not be able to afford the finer things in life is what made this interview for me. Too often, people in his position look down on the less fortunate and bleat the old chestnut: "Work harder for it then".
Chris recognising that this is a fallacy tells me a lot about him. He seems like a guy I would happily work for!
This is a really good interview. You can tell this owner is a good dude, and doesn't let money become his life.
never been on a yacht, definitely don't know anyone who owns one, nor anyone who would charter one, nor anyone who would ever invite me onto one, but you videos are peculiarly interesting and I like them
Love it, it brings another perspective, love the music
Well done. Thanks to the owner for being so open.
Thank you very much
What a great owner. I worked on small cruise ships as chief engineer. Superintendents from the office would be a nightmare. Arrogant and dismissive. When the owner came along, I would talk to him and explain things and he was down to earth and a great guy. I was told to not mess with the A/C by the Super, but managed to get permission from the owner to make a really needed change. Passengers complained constantly about A/C, but the Super had my hands tied. I solved the problem in a couple of hours with the backing of a good owner. I respect the chain of command, but not idiots.
Wonderful vid and interview. Really enjoyed it!! Keep the good work
Owners seems honest and open. Love your channel. Cool he did the interview!
This was unusual and most interesting. I'd like to see the tour. Having crewed when I was a kid, I appreciate this type of "owner".
Tour will be out soon!
What happened to the tour?
Awesome, authentic and highly informative interview. Well done Jared!
ah great interview! Refreshing to hear a guy with so much money be so humble. I love that he really treats his crew well!
What an amazing interview with a guy that was born into money but is down to earth and is thankful for the opportunities that have been afforded him. Totally awesome guy he is. If I could afford it (and I can’t ☹️) I’d book a charter with him tomorrow. Very refreshing. Thanks Jared.
Very good interview! Chris, the owner seems to be the type of person you would hope most wealthy people are. Usually, wealthy people are thrown into a group that people vilify for no good reason, but in reality they make the world turn.
I really respect the way this owner talks, besides knowing what he does for a living. If you didn't know he really comes off like a owner of a large construction company. The boss that grabs a hard hat and works with you to get a job done. I would work for him in a second under his paint business.
That was very useful interview. I had assumed that chartering merely offset the owner's costs. Chris had good insights on the value of a good crew and the role of the capitain. I liked his approach of treating his crew like his extended family.
what i want to know is if there is any owners that are also captains of their own ships. I want to know if there is anyone out there with a sizable yacht like this but livesaboard it or pilots their ship to simply travel or explore.
Is that Korean artwork on the wall? If so, I love it. lol
That is so true...” if you’re not working hard for your dreams, you’re working hard for someone else’s dreams”. Granted today it’s a little harder to have that kind of funds to afford a major yacht . This is being written during the Coronavirus so even if you have the personal or corporate funds I’m not so sure how politically correct it would be.
