“I think that Kiko definitely had room for improvement, but I kind of saw that from the start,” Hannah explained. “I feel like when you’re used to working on a private boat, you’re used to the same guests, and you’re used to the same tastes over and over. So working on a charter boat with American guests is just a whole different ballgame. So I don’t think [Kiko] quite knew what he was in for when he signed up for the job.”
