Zombie apocalypse: You have a giant yacht.. would you help people?

I would only allow on as many people as I need.

So a team of boat mechanics to keep the yacht well-maintained.

A team of kitchen staff to feed us all.

A team of security guards to protect the yacht against zombies.

A medical team.

My friends and family.

Nobody else. I mean what's the point of buying a yacht if not to get away from the poor?
 
Yes, what good is a world with no people. I would try and make sure we get a few doctors and dentists on board.
 
No I'm going to need all that space for my greenhouses.

As a professional mariner...

You need a crew to run a boat/ship/whatever

Even if all I did with said well equipped megayacht was anchor out somewhere and chill to take advantage of all yacht stuff...where I'm pretty sure can't happen anywhere...storms, ice, hurricanes....ect...

You need fuckers on watch to make sure shit is good...and any good sailor will tell you "more the merrier" so get enough people to reduce watch times...both engineering and deck side...but not so much you can't sustain without sending shore parties to fight zombies, cannibals and random shitty humans...

i think the bigger threat to you, than the zombies is the people you bring on board. In any end of world scenario, the other humans will be the biggest threat.

As the owner/leader they may decide to toss you over board and take the yacht as their own.

So, ya women only or families with young kids and only men, you knew very well, to try and make it less likely there is a power grab.

The zombie apocalypse just started.... you have a very large yacht that's very well stocked with food and supplies, desalination system and runs on solar. It's a boat designed to survive any type of endgame scenario.

Would you take in as many people as possible?

No.
I would take some competent co workers, friends and families
 
Take a limited amount. You need people to watch your back. It's a mega yacht so you can't run it alone.
 
No. Maybe invite afew people incase I need to eat them. And obviously a few chicks to ra I mean cuddle with
 
You gonna want to be selective about who you let into your tribe ....but human survival is a team sport and you aren't going to last long alone.

Yep that's why I'd make sure I'm the only motherfucker on that ship who can run that ship.

With very much respect to the dude who said he'd let me on his crew based on my knowlege and experience, I appreciate, but would caution:

It's the apocalypse and I'm now the most experienced mariner on your boat.. your options are:

(Note, this is not about me flexing or going egotistical, it's about human behavior and leadership...I'm a dumbass with a nice uniform, keep me happy and fed....)

A) cede control over the day to day operations. We're running shit my way, you do whatever...but look at me.. I'm the captain now. Eventually I'd be disagreed with, but now I've proven to everyone I run this shit...so trying to take the power back if you chafe under my authority...good luck

B) I work for you, but am well compensated...like a movie or rock star that needs to be spoiled for the benefit of management...I better get whatever I want and you'll get what you want.. problem is power resides not with the millionaire/rockstar/pro athlete, but the one who pays them...eventually in an Apocalyptic world where knowlege now really is power...the skilled will probably rebel over the rich...and possibly win...

C) I work for you...but am not (in my mind) appriciated: mutiny. I make myself indispensable to as many as possible, get them on my side, and when the moment is right...seize power. Probably get rid of the former leader and his loyalists..


Moral of the story...if it's an Apocalyptic free for all, make sure you're the one who's the expert...and don't let a motherfucker in who's more expert than you.
 
Nope. I wouldn’t help me either. Any type of post apocalyptic world is not where I want to live. So I’d put a bullet in each of my pets, then my wife, then in me. Game over.
 
Id take a bunch of doctors and surgeons, a bunch of chefs, a bunch of engineers, marine biologists, IT experts and last but not least a bunch of hot milfs with big old titties.

"... A team of security guards to protect the yacht against zombies...."

^ those are the ones you would need to fear more than the zombies.

Why would a group of 'tough people', need to keep a person in place who is only there, in their eyes, due to some prior privilege and who then feels he is the boss of them?
 
Nope. I think I'll cap it at 30 people max for a yacht the size in OP, preferably lower number assuming I know the extend of their capabilities. People with engineering skills, medical care knowledge is more important than any buff dudes that can defend against potential zombies. Politicians, philosophers can fuck off.
1:5 ratio for male to female.

As many has mentioned, human attempting to overtake you is the bigger risk when you are in a safe area. I'm taking people I know well and those that I know can help. I don't care if you are my extended family member, if I know you will be leeching, I won't be taking you

Definitely some animals, like Cats, some big ass bird of preys that hunts fish that we can attempt to train. No Dogs unless we can be sure food supply won't be depleted and probably only Terrier because they can hunt rats.

I'll also bring some sniper rifles or cannons. Any other ship/yacht that attempts to approach us will be shot down regardless of reason other than my own decision. Of course warnings will be given for them to not come close.

You're right. I'd better use child soldiers.
