Australian stewardess Natalya Scudder has worked on some of the world’s most extravagant superyachts.
But the 26-year-old, who stars in Bravo’s Below Deck Mediterranean, is now making more money as a Playboy model than ever on the high seas.
Speaking to Chron Australia, the brunette boatwoman says she has now left the yachting industry behind and can enjoy a life of luxury thanks to her income from the Playboy creator app, which is touted as a “classier” alternative to OnlyFans.
“It gives me the financial freedom to travel, which is unreal!” I can work from my phone while traveling the world and visiting exotic destinations. I pinch myself every day. I feel very blessed!’ she gushed.
Natalya started working in sailing at the age of 18 and slowly worked her way up until she became a chief stewardess.

“My first salary was minimum wage, but I didn’t complain – I was just happy traveling around the world on a $121 million yacht,” she said.
“As I continued my career in the yachting industry, my salary as Chief Stew steadily increased, but now that I’m on the Playboy platform, I can afford to work as a full-time content creator,” she continued.
“It has allowed me to leave the yachting industry completely and live a comfortable lifestyle while traveling around the world. “I’m so grateful!”
Unlike OnlyFans, Playboy doesn’t allow pornographic content – but Natalya insists her content is anything but ordinary.
“As far as I’m concerned, I’m really cheeky.” I love putting together a playlist full of energy and unwinding! “It makes me feel super sexy and confident,” she exclaimed.

The reality star even admitted that she gets Below Deck fans to sign up to her site to get “inside gossip” about the popular series.
Natalya isn’t afraid to flaunt her lavish life as a Playboy Bunny on social media.
In recent posts, the Perth-born beauty can be seen flying first class and boarding private planes.
She is also seen partying with former Nickelodeon star Madisyn Shipman, who has also joined Playboy.

Models on the Playboy app must be personally approved by the brand, unlike OnlyFans, where anyone can sign up and create content.
Since Natalya joined the app, Below Deck Season 10 star Hayley De Sola Pinto has followed in her footsteps and signed up.
“Many of my colleagues have inquired about joining, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more Below Deck cast members soon!” Natalya teased.
Natalya can now be seen alongside Captain Sandy Yawn in the eighth season of Below Deck Mediterranean.
Speaking to Chron Australia about the new season earlier this month, Captain Sandy, 58, said she was trying to stay clear of the “crazy” drama this year.

Captain Sandy recently told Chron Australia that she was often “overwhelmed” by the drama on Below Deck
“I just stay above the fray, and that’s easy when you’re on the bridge and not below deck!” she said.
“I’m always surprised when I rewatch the show.” I’m actually floored when I see it. And then it makes sense why the crew comes up and is upset, angry or sad – it just makes sense,” she continued.
“Because as a captain, I don’t know what they’re talking about below deck until I watch the show. But then I understand a lot more about the personalities and why they behave the way they do when they come up.”
The latest series of Below Deck Mediterranean began with one of the most disastrous starts of the entire series, as two crew members – Kyle Viljoen and Tumi Mhlongo – were unable to board due to visa delays.
The drama scored high ratings when it premiered, with the yachting series scoring higher ratings than “Southern Charm” and “The Real Housewives of New York City.”
