Australian stewardess Natalya Scudder has worked on some of the most extravagant superyachts in the world.

But the 26-year-old, who stars on Bravo’s Below Deck Mediterranean, is now making more money as a Playboy model than she ever did sailing the high seas.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, the brunette boatie says that she’s now left the yachting industry behind and is able to enjoy a life of luxury thanks to her income from Playboy’s creator app, which is billed as a ‘classier’ alternative to OnlyFans.

It gives me the financial freedom to travel, which is unreal! I can work from my phone whilst traveling the world and visiting exotic destinations. I pinch myself everyday. I feel very blessed!’ she gushed. 

Natalya started working in yachting at age 18 and slowly worked her way up the ranks until she became a chief stewardess.

‘My first salary was minimum wage, but I didn’t complain – I was just happy to be traveling the world on a $121 million dollar yacht,’ she said.

‘As I continued to progress in my career in the yachting industry, my salary as chief stew grew steadily, but now that I am on the Playboy platform I can afford to work as a full time content creator,’ she continued.

‘It’s enabled me to leave the yachting industry completely and maintain a comfortable lifestyle while traveling the world. I’m so grateful!’

Unlike OnlyFans, Playboy doesn’t allow pornographic content – but Natalya insists that her content is far from vanilla.  

‘I’m really cheeky on my account. I love putting on a playlist with good energy and stripping down! It makes me feel super sexy and confident,’ she exclaimed.

The reality star even admitted that she gets Below Deck fans signing up to her page to get ‘inside gossip’ on the popular series. 

Natalya isn’t shy when it comes to flaunting her lavish life as a Playboy Bunny on social media.

In recent posts, the Perth-born beauty is pictured flying first class and boarding private planes. 

She’s also pictured partying with former Nickelodeon star Madisyn Shipman, who also joined Playboy.

Models on Playboy’s app have to be personally approved by the brand, unlike OnlyFans which allows anybody to sign up and create content. 

Since Natalya joined the app, Below Deck season 10 star Hayley De Sola Pinto has followed in her footsteps by signing up.

‘I’ve had many of my peers enquire about joining, so I’m sure you’ll see more Below Deck cast members soon!’ Natalya teased. 

Meanwhile, Natalya is currently featured on the eighth season of Below Deck Mediterranean alongside Captain Sandy Yawn.

Speaking to Daily Mail Australia about the new season earlier this month, Captain Sandy, 58, said that she’s trying to stay above the ‘crazy’ drama this year.

Captain Sandy recently told Daily Mail Australia that she’s often ‘floored’ by the drama on Below Deck 

‘I just stay above the fray, and it’s easy to do that when you’re on the bridge and you’re not below deck!’ she said. 

‘I’m always surprised when I watch the show back. I’m actually floored when I see it. And then it makes sense why the crew come upstairs and they’re mad, or angry, or sad – it just makes sense,’ she continued.

‘Because, as the 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 behave when they come upstairs.’

The latest series of Below Deck Mediterranean kicked off with one of the most catastrophic starts of the entire franchise as two crew members – Kyle Viljoen and Tumi Mhlongo – were left unable to board because of visa delays.

The drama brought in strong ratings for the premiere, with the yachting series delivering higher ratings than Southern Charm and The Real Housewives of New York City.
