Another comment request , another delivery! This is the Super Yacht Bridge / Wheelhouse tour. Thank you for your suggestions and comments. Series starts soon. Also I am headed to the Cape Town International Boat show shortly so follow me on Instagram and come with me. Chat soon!
Much love - Jared
I love these videos . For me it brings back wonderful memories of working on boats 40 years ago. I used to look like Jared and in my job I also had lost of different uniforms - some were really expensive. To work on a boat you need to be really fit and look good and be young. I made quite a lot of money working on boats and when I was 30 I went ashore and and bought a hotel which I still run in Edinburgh , Scotland - 40 years later.
Thanks again Jared
I love how you explain everything. Lots of other videos on TH-cam use very technical terms that not everyone can understand... thanks
Yeah, well... my boat has a pull cord to start it up. And a handle to steer.
Yeah, thats nothing, my boat bobs up and down in the bath.
Yeah well, my boat you need two arms to start and drive and a pump to basically call it a boat!
My boat has a pull start also other boat has paddles .other boat shoves barges.
My boat has a paddle.
Dude, im 14 now but when i grow up this is probs my favourite job! Always loved boats!
Exactly wat I wanted to see. Great vid
Amazing!! Thank you Hamish
What a fantastic video! The most in depth bridge tour of any superyacht i've seen. Very much appreciated. One small thing that you missed - that would be cool to see - is all the manual backup (i.e. paper charts, log book, etc.). I'm sure that you are keeping track of everything manually during a passage at the same time you're using all of the electronics. Would be cool to see some of that on one of your future videos. Thanks for all of the great content and I'm looking forward to what's to come.
Ha congratulations Jared on completing your long journey. You sound so happy in this video. Love the enthusiasm.
I have watched about 15 of your videos so far and this one is my favourite so far! Love the detail like the video of the fins u see water to show how they keep it stable when you talk about them.
My favourite TH-camr right now hands down! Awesome video! Can’t wait to see what’s next..
Doug! I can’t tell you how much comments like that make my day man! Thank you 🙌🏼
I think that was the most awesome video if you’re new into boats/yacht that I’ve ever watched thank you so much wishing you the very best Jan Michaels
This was again, one of your best videos ever! But all your videos are great fun to watch. This video was just a bit more educational and informative for those of us who may never wind up in a yacht wheelhouse. Thanks.
What a difference from when I sailed destroyers in the Canadian Navy back in the 80's and 90's! Everything was analog, and yes, we 'darkened ship' at 1900 hrs every day with red light. The entire ship was awash with red light, and it was actually easy to get used to, after about 1/2 hr. Great video! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing mike! Do you miss it?
@@jaredwatney every waking moment! I plan to get my own mono-hull soon. While I'm disabled from the waist down now, I think I can still pull it off with a good crew :)
Thanks for sharing. That was very educational for those of us who are land bound. Yacht life looks fascinating.
Thanks Chris 🙌🏼
Things have improved a heck of lot since I worked on ships, but was a long, long, long time ago! At least I can spend time just sitting back and watching someone else going through it, lol. Have fun on your new ship Jared. Have a wonderful time and enjoy every moment, you are soooooooo lucky! Take it from me, I know. (PS Brilliant vids, keep them going/coming. Excellent camera work under the conditions etc you have.)
very nice and simple helm. Very nice. love it ! would preffer furunos or simrad, but is great anyway ... You can tell it is a new boat (for me new is less than 10 years old) because the kind of instruments and how neat the layout is ....
Thanks for this video.It is really interesting!! I now feel confident that I could captain a rowboat!!!! Captaining a yacht,way over my head! Love from Vermont
Jared, great work on all these, my son will be going to the school in Ft Lauderdale, and showed me a few of these videos..very informative, anytime you wanna come out I will show you the workings of an A10... , so nice to see youngsters that are actually enthused about their work !!!
Even underwater cams! What an informative and cool video!
Red light doesn't affect your night vision. Good to know. That's why all BMW are red gauges and red LED ambient light to see your hand when there close to the dash (on my 2008 X3).
It's actually amber orange on traditional Bimmers. New ones are white
I’ve been sailing for twenty seven years, what we use on the bridge for monitor screens is custom fitted plexiglass with Velcro to keep them in place
One word, touchscreens.
Is your job with this particular boat done for good or just the season? Why and what’s the plan moving forward? Dig your videos!
Great vid, always wanted to know how these big yachts navigate. Surprisingly not that much different then a very small one (~15m). Funny to see that I knew 90% of the navigation instruments, beside the radars. Keep it up!
Thank you Peter. Ye same really as most yachts but as you get to the 50m size you’ll see heaps of additional extras. Thanks for the support
Thanks Jared, I enjoy your video's very informative.
I'm writing a book and there is a yacht in a small segment of the story. I have yet to go on a yacht so your videos are just what I need to help me with some of my research. Your videos are really enriching my story. Thanks for posting. Keep them coming.
Speaking of red lights we used to have red light in US Army A/C for night ops but it was discovered that the red light created glare and we couldn't read the contour lines on our tactical maps. We went to a blueish light and the difference was really appreciated by the aviators.
Excellent video. Answered a lot of questions I'd had for a long time.
im glad i found this channel, these videos are great. keep up the good work :-)
Excellent. I really wanted to see something like this. I know you are leaving this boat but I would love to see a day in the life video of the Captain. Especially docking and stuff like that. I can only watch you cleaning glass so much. :)))))
I could stare and listen to Jared all day.
Nice vlog once again Jared, your editing skills are growing by the vlog! keep 'm coming!
Thank you so much man! I try to better my skills on every upload! Thanks once again man
Yeah ! Me too.
There is so much to learn !
Great stuff J. Your videos are really interesting. I had myself yesterday sitting at the V&A yacht watching.
All your vids are fantastic. I usually wait until you make a next one. Even though I have the notification bell on I still check everyday I go on TH-cam just to make sure I didn’t miss the notification.
I've just found your videos, they are great! Lovely editing and as a Yachtie it's very interesting content. Thank you!
Jared - Great video, have you done one that describes your vlogging system? Favorite camera, future set up, etc. Maybe what you have learned being at sea, what equipment is nice but not necessary? Thanks again.
Really cool video. I haven’t watched all of your videos so I’m curious what training you may have needed for your job on that yacht. Or was it “learn as you go”? Looks like it was an amazing time you had. Thanks.
Merci pour le tour. J’ai énormément appris. Continue à nous faire voyager
Who needs TV/Cable, this show is GOLD!
Yh it quite hard to go sideways with no stern thruster, but it can be done. All is done is, if you want to go to the port side you will put the rudders to the starboard and then put the starboard engine in forward then put the port engine in reverse and you will be going to the port side.The same applies if you want to go to starboard just switch the thrust from each engine. The starboard engine will then go in reverse and port engine will go in forward and you’ll be going to the starboard side
Lekker video! Thank you. This novice boater (26’ 1992 Bayliner) has learnt so much. Will you ever be in Seattle?
Nice video! All the navigation knowledge will help a ton with the helicopter license you said you wanted to do. Where you planning on doing your license?
nice to see videos that a from a different point of view of the yacht. Looking forward how your (possible) career as vlogger/ing is going to turn out. But first, the next video :)
Regards from Slovenia (next to Croatia :))
Good video, always wondered what all the controls were for. Kind of like a spaceship.
Thank you very much. Not so complicated hey.
Great video, thanks. Could you maybe also post a video of a engine room tour? I‘m often in the south of France in terms of holiday and I think I saw the yacht you were working on in real life.
Are you gonna try get on another super yatch, becuase your videos of yatchs are the only ones i prefer
Great video. Could you do an engine/ machinary room one? Just an FYI Sludge tank is a tank for waste oil, fuel, bilge water ect. Blackwater is human waste and waste from showers where as grey water is just sink water and dishwasher water.
Great video, love learning about the different areas. What is the difference between the two radar units? Thanks for sharing. Are you and Becca planning on returning next season? Cheers.
Regarding not using the wheel. With our 1978 Catalina 25', it was tiller steering, so very hands up. We also had a 2007 Catalina 28' with wheel steering, but also autopilot. With autopilot and GPS, you basically just press buttons to steer, even though the wheel is right there. Crazy how different it was sailing those two sailboats and it's an interesting contrast to a huge yacht like the one you are in, but interesting that it's kind of a similar experience, steering via buttons. :)
Have you tried putting a filter over the screens? I don’t know how badly a red filter would affect the screens but it could help. It might be a pain to take on and off but you could probably make it easier
I have Raymarine on my boat as well and no red backlight option is terrible when underway at night!!
Hi Jared,
I came across your channel by accident and I was surprised how good you are in content creation and polish of your finished vlogs. I reply to your question regarding what content I would like more yachting and aviation and more dockside like the towns visit when you get shore leave.
Keep uploading and I will follow on instagram.
Great video Jared...have you ever encountered pirates or any sketchy encounters on your travels?
Absolutely love your videos Jared. This may have been asked before but in your intro there’s that “yo, where you at? I’m already down here” dialogue. Can you share where that’s from? Keep up the excellent work. Looking forward to whatever it is that you do. Good luck in the future.
Thanks for posting this very educational video! I was expecting to see something that show how deep the water is. How can you tell if the water is shallow enough to cause problems for the vessel?
My man. I really can't wait to complete my training . Then complete the required 3 years to do the OOW COURSES. Jared you have been and continue to be an inspiration to me. Next time you back home in South Africa I owe you a beer
Love the show, looking forward to the new challenges up ahead. Keep it up!
That boat is amazing
Good one. Am refitting the entire bridge during the conversion & upgrade. Want to go high tech, curved screens etc etc so will definitely get red back lit screens done by Samsung. All the engine stuff, fuel etc will not be or changed as mine will be our new tech which is magnetic /silent drive so no fuel, no solor /batteries etc. Any other suggestions you would think required to be the best/high tech, practical, clean and comfortable design, is love to hear your thoughts or your captains?
Watched just one vlog. And immediately followed your channel. Keep up this good work. There is surely a lot the people want to know. Even if it’s the daily life on board.
Awesome video Jared, a boater myself I knew most of these instruments, though we have Garmin monitors that have red backlit screens. I am very surprised that you guys don't have a stern thruster, your captain is obviously great at parking. Our family still sometimes struggles to get our 40ft cruiser with bow and stern thruster into our berth. Do you know any details of the next yacht you will crew on?
Yet another banger 👌👌👌👌 so keen for what has to come keep up the good work bro
Thank you so much for the support!!
Glad you made this video, I assumed what would logically be on the screens and controls, but wanted to learn from someone that actually could point the main things out. Similar to he glass panel cockpits in a boeing 757 (just like that, only completely different) Cheers
Thank you for another video! :D It´s awesome! I hope you enjoyed that beer! :D
I definitely did. Thank you man! Much appreciated
excellent job, very professional. I see you at the helm someday!
Thanks Jared! Another great video!
If you don't mind answering, how reliable is all this equipment generally? How about the engines and generators etc. ?
Good video. Now we know more than we did fifteen minutes ago. Thank you.
Nice work. Right to the point!
Gotta love seeing another great video pop up in your feed :)
I love AIS Marine traffic app is great, I have a front line house overlooking the Solent (UK area which has the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth in it) and am always seeing what boats are about, virtually all privates boats have it as well and they all use it ( have it on) I also have a Villa in Menorca and am surprised that so many boats don’t have it, and the ships that have it don’t bother to switch it on, did you notice in the Med how many ships didn’t have it switched on ?
That s a nice cozy pilot house. I like the seat. A couple of questions from a professional mariner. Why 3 hour watches, usually on a port a starboard rotation watches are 6 on 6 off. Allowing better almost proper rest between watches. Second, whats with adjusting the autopilot, do you not send it a route frombthe ECDIS? It should be capable of keeping you on a route without cross track error. Maybe i missed it, but the most useful display of ais is on the elctronic chart. I almost never look at the actual ais display list.i only access it to change my own status and destination.
Always amazing! Keep it up!
Thank you man
Hey buddy, you probably answered this question but I just subscribed so here goes. What is the price of this yacht?
Wow Jared interesting we use red light in our PD Patrol cars at night too. You will make a great captain. You explain things well and simple. Shit i fell like i can sail one of these by the end of the vid lol.
😂 thank you man. Means the world
One of the most interesting videos to date! Great job!
extremely watchable and informative !
Another great video Jared!
Sludge tank is normally oily water from the bilge. Sewage is normally called "Black Water".
MrMikewr Indeed, I reacted on that too. Guess they have some other system on yachts than on ships?
I have Raymarine on my boat and have been in discussion with Raymarine about night mode. They tell me it will be available in a future update.
So cool. Most yacht videos that show the interior of a yacht show the main salon, the guest areas, the sky lounge, blah! Who cares? Show the bridge, the crew quarters and the engine room. That's what I want to see, not another boring video of an gaudy owners deck. This video hit the spot on the bridge, and I thank you for it.
Great Vid, Yes I agree the monitor brightness is and has been a prolonged issue. Not sure why marine displays have not addressed this more proactively. I end up using a cover to dampen the display which is less than idea. Great job Jared
Interesting to see how much is actually in a bridge as I expected there to be so much more instruments like an aircraft cockpit. Nice video anyway!
Hey! I am in the US Navy and some ships simply put a red Plexiglas over the screens with Velcro or something and that works perfectly.
Wouldn’t help with the new touch screens though.
Love this vid, very informative! All your vids are cool. Have you arrived back in sunny SA yet? If so, welcome home!
I'm actually really surprised that you haven't hit 100k subs yet. All of your videos have been in my recommended for the past few months so I thought you'd gain a lot of subs but seems youtube hasn't recommended it to others as much.
But you'll hit 100k for sure, and hopefully relatively soon, because your videos have amazing production value.
Thanks to the owner as well for letting us see their yacht.
So is it red cellophane over the screens then? Maybe you could get those stick on magnets for it or magnetic tape
Great Video,,, so much awesome information. Thank you.
Have you tried a red colour film Don't thing that's what it's called but you could try that it may help for night navigation
Jared! So dope. I got your channel by mistake lol. Your name is close to a singer i like. Jody Watley (before your time). i often wondered what the crew cabins looked like. Thanks for sharing. Hope you had a ball on that boat while making good money. Oh btw i always wanted to know if any of the owners could operate their own Yachts if they wanted to? Or do they need a ship captains lic. to operate it? i'd want to operate my own i think. Have safe and fun travels.
Thanks so much for the comment!!! We often let the owner drive a bit BUT yachts of this size are “operated” not “driven” if that makes sense. We monitor a heading and adjust but never let the owner dock as it’s way harder than some think. FYI: I never docked it either
Love it when she says “kak”.
Hey Jared, Love your Videos mate!
Thank you Shaun!!!
Great blog!
Thank you
Great video very useful and insightful
enjoyed video once again Jared thanks
Thank you Martyn
That was fantastic.
Just a silly question. Is there nothing analogue at all anymore? What do you do if you suffer a catastrophic power issue and all the Raymarine stuff fritzes out while navigating in open water? Also, is there a big red button to hit for a report of man overboard, or is that something you just yell out on the pa system?
Love your videos!!
Thanks Robert. We can still navigate the vessel without any electronics. Remember all the instruments are just “navigational aid” as long as those engines keep going and we can see outside, we are good to go!
There is a man over board button to pin point the location. Always keeping an eye on the MOB, point and sound the general alarm for extra help.
Jared, I just happened onto your channel. Really entertaining vids! Re: Raymarine, I am running new Raymarine Axiom Pros on my Ocean Alexander MV and have found that the screen dimming feature works just great. One item of note is that the windshields on the San Lorenzo are slanted toward the helm, which tends to reflect the displays back into your face. Also, in addition to the MFD's there are so many other small lights on the panel that cast light (on my helm my Yanmar engine control casts a really harsh green light when it's engaged). I have resorted to putting sticky notes over it. Last, I agree - the harsh red lights that SL installed would make be cranky after a night shift. Keep the great videos coming!
Hit the zoom in&out buttons simultaneously on the chart plotter it sets a way point (says the land based off roader with a Lowrance on his buggy)
11:00 "Kak" 😂😂😂 her facial expression says it all!
Just subscribed. Great videos. As an seaman officer (submariner) with the RAN for 40 years and 4 months (now retired since Sept 2018), seeing the super yacht version of being at sea is a big insight. Your red light issue is bad to say the least... red lighting in a submarine control room at night is something taken very seriously... in fact there are times when "black lighting" is used - minimal lights, all dimmed right down, screened off areas. Keep up the good work with the videos.... very interesting.
Awesome video! If you had only one day in South Africa, where would you go??
One day 🧐 ummmm hike lions head with a picnic in Cape Town
jared watney Cape Town is the place to go though, right???
100% or where i am from. The garden Route
thank you and i have learned that i have you sir I'm also working on yatch this february on im onboard. im from philippines my experince cargo ship. but yatch is going to go and I'm still subscribed to you. sir and there's a lot of stuff..hehe..hehe study is pretty light just like that🤗🤗
