Just a few years ago, a young steward working on one of the glossiest superyachts anchored at Cannes for the film festival threatened to call the police on a well-known movie producer who was badly beating two prostitutes during workout in the master stateroom.
"He couldn't believe I'd actually do it," said the man, who no longer works on yachts but signed a confidentiality agreement that precludes him from being identified. "But it was the only way to stop him. He was violent and out of control. The girls were screaming, and he didn't care. He did care about the cops being called."
That incident, says a former chief stewardess, is not atypical of the behavior aboard some of the world's multimillion-dollar mega yachts, a global armada that recently has exploded with bigger, even more opulent vessels being launched on the seas — or into Cannes — every year.
