What happens when you lose your 9–5, hit rock bottom, and end up backpacking the world? For Hugo Ortega (Below Deck Season 12), that moment became the spark that changed everything. Inside a hostel in Thailand, Hugo met a yacht deckhand who showed him photos of life in the Bahamas and the Mediterranean — jet skis, crystal-clear waters, and freedom at sea. Until that moment, Hugo didn’t even know the job existed. That chance meeting set him on the path to becoming a yachtie, rising from deckhand to bosun to superyacht captain, and eventually creating Superyacht Sunday School to help others do the same. 🎙️ Hear his full story on Salty Podcast #71 — from burnout ➝ backpacking ➝ yachtie life, and how the lessons he learned can apply to YOUR sailing journey or even launching your own charter business. 👉 🎙️ Full episode Podlink: https://tinyurl.com/SaltyPodcastHugo #SaltyAbandon #SaltyPodcast #BelowDeck #Sailing #superyachts What would you do if you lost your 9–5 job, hit rock bottom, and found yourself backpacking across the world? For Hugo Ortega, bosun on Below Deck Season 12 and founder of Superyacht Sunday School, that moment became the turning point that launched him into the superyacht industry. In this episode of the Salty Podcast, Hugo shares how being laid off led him to a hostel in Thailand, where he met a yacht deckhand who showed him a life he never knew existed — the yachtie lifestyle. From deckhand to bosun to superyacht captain, Hugo explains how he built a career at sea, what yacht crew life is really like, and how the skills learned in the yachting industry can apply to sailing around the world, starting a charter business, or simply gaining more freedom on the water. We also talk about Hugo’s work with Superyacht Sunday School, where he’s trained over 300 aspiring yacht crew members and helped them break into the yacht industry. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to work on a yacht, live the yacht crew lifestyle, or transition from backpacking to boating, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new world. 👉 🎙️ Full episode Podlink: https://tinyurl.com/SaltyPodcastHugo
