Travelling into Monaco today I noticed on Marine Traffic that Madame Gu, a 99 metre SupertYacht was also heading (at speed) to Monaco. So all of a sudden it became a race to see if I could get there before the yacht so I could film it hopefully docking. And here is that video. Enjoy

The annotations really help in understanding what's going on. Thanks!
One of the most beautiful yachts I have ever seen. The lines, colors, and various highlights, like the fins wrapping around the stern.
She is a stunner (and the reason why Porsche introduced a new colour on the 992 GT3!)
Madame Gu is such a beauty. The sleek lines, the bright color, the speedy profile...
Yacht perfection.
Owner is Andrey Scoch - famous russian mafia leader, mass murderer.
Great video, no background music, no drama. I want to hear the sound of the sea and of the work being done. Awesome. Your comments are much appreciated though,I wonder what the water depth in the marina is?
@Lino Andrade I second that.....
Third!
Precisely couldn't agree with you more and great vid eSysman!
Agree wholeheartedly. Why TH-camrs think they must add the most inane music to videos is beyond me. Nat sound, folks. Let the action speak for itself.
Agreed. Can’t stand music videos.
Didn't know there were fixed positions for ropes on the marina bottom, cool!
Right?!?? Would be cool to see a video on these
They're not. They manually place the anchors because the alternative (placing them from Madame Gu) would not be as easy.
Absolutely love and injoy your videos especially the one's like this, there filled with so much information. Thank you kindly for sharing and keep up the awesome work. Cheers 🍻
Wow for someone who really doesnt have much experience with yachting(me) that was very interesting. Job well done it appears the crew did an amazing job. Love your vids. This one especially. Thank You
I honestly think your videos are the most well explained on yachting packed full of information but yet doesn't feel like it's too much keep up the great work
One of our most iconic projects, thanks for the video !
She is just a stunning yacht, love her colour.
tbh, I don't really like her. Not my sort of yacht at all. Wouldn't mind being a guest though : )
I don't know about anyone else but, I am way more interested in the operations of Superyachts. Thank you again for another great video.
I worked on Madame Gu for 8 months. This video was very interesting. Looks less impressive than I remember. I'm sure the crew were well reminded to look professional at all times.
That was Awesome ! I like the slideout bridgewing! like I said before, "Your always in the right place at the right time!" eSyaman crew, Good work for today!
That was impressive skilful work buy the Capitan and all the other crew involved! It is lovely to watch a video like this and thank you for doing it too!
I have to say, I really love the annotations, E - Very useful to have both explanatory text and the little pointers. Definitely a feature to keep in future videos!
Check out Najiba video same style.
@@YachtReport Yeah, I remember that video - Najiba is lovely... I don't know what they call that style, with the rounded overhangs, but they have similar styling on things like the Swift Trawlers and the new Nomad SUV range (I adore those).
THX. It is very interesting to see the docking procedure from beginning to end. Including the description!! Great work!!
Great video. Loved how the whole proceedure was explained in detail.
Learned something new again. About the number of additional lines needed after a certain lenght of the vessel. Would have thought 4 total would be enough. Your always teaching me something new.
Thankyou for the video.
P.S. heard you laugh in the background when one the lines tossed got hung up. Lol
Great work by the crew and yourself.
Definitely a good video. Haven't watched one in awhile; so I like his new technique.
"Below Deck" is a TV series about life as a crew member on a yacht like that.
Absolute best series on TV.
One of your best vids, well done. It is a beautiful ship
Thank you Sensei! As always,... informative, insightful, engaging, and drool worthy. I can’t wait to hire you as a consultant when I commission my super yacht. After the small issue of winning the lottery
Fabulous to see one other than 100% white!!
White, white, white, white, white!
Could there be a more drab color than white?
White is the worst.
Great job with this video!
Nice, nice, nice job!!
So many people I know turn up their noses at any yacht that isn't all white. They're the same people who wouldn't have a Ferrari that wasn't red but a red Mercedes for instance? "Blasphemy!" they'd cry.
People are followers. It's our pleasure to lead them.
Felice Graziano you are correct - the masses are followers.
And that’s largely the problem with today’s world. The blind leading the blind; the stupid leading the stupid.
One of the best yet, love the ambient sounds
Notice at 7:10 the linesman “dipped” the line by bringing it through the eye of the other mooring line. By doing this either line can be released first.
I noticed that too. Still, releasing the lower line would be a pain
I saw it too, thinking “fat chance Atlantis II leaves her berth, but best be on the safe side” LOL
standard practise
The stern port line went into the water. Poor control, guys.
@@visionist7 Actually, once the tension is released from the line, it comes off very easy.
Educational for sure, several things I did not know, now I do! Thanks so much...
Super video production, I love Madame Gu!!!
That was very nice. To see the crew doing their job to get their yacht in tor perfect docking. Of course every one else in the harbour is looking at them. Hehehe!! I laughed a little.
Makes me dream about loosing 40 yrs in age and go work on one of these honey's. Love the vid. TY
At 59 i had the same thoughts.
You made good notes with text explanations during video and it''s let other people to understand what is going on there. I didnt know that luxury yahts used to use anchors for moorings too. With kind regards, Capt.RA.
Great video and very informative, and a MAJOR plus that it did not contain music to drown out the sounds of harbour. Made this Icelandic fishing village boy miss the sea now that i am livin far inland in Finnish arctic.
I spent 4 months of summer 2020 watching her from a distance in Bodrum. She is a gorgeous yacht.
Greetings from Colorado! This's PERFECT timing on a Friday eve to help with my chilling out after a lovely Colorado SunTAStic day...Greetings, indeed, and many thanks for your beautiful, passionate, insightful work. And-Oh! In case you can't tell, I like it too. xo, friend
Friday eve Here it's Saturday afternoon 3.46 pm The World is amazing
Luv to see a luxury yacht in dry-dock
These are extremely educational & enjoyable to watch 🖤
Very relaxing watching it all
I loved working on that project!
it's like a Lamborghini with Louis 14 interiors...
very Bling Bling
:-)
Like a neo-rococo with loads of mirrored surfaces?
Can you tell me what stops a yacht drifting backwards into the dock? I understand the anchor chain lies on the sea floor, is it's weight sufficient to prevent that drift?
Another interesting Video Thank You
Nicely done video - smooth, informative and with great angles.
That boat is wicked tzight!
Nice....Teamwork makes the Dream work !!
Wow! Amazing the amount of work necessary to dock a ship. I've been on lots of very large cruise ships, up to 900 footers. As a passenger, I always took docking those behemoths for granted. I guess there is more to it than meets the eye.
"5 times stronger than rope". Rope is not a material, ropes can be made from almost anything, e.g. nylon.
I wonder what the large black/dark grey plastic thing on top of the stern is. Some kind of protection when the hatch is lowered? It would look nicer without it...
That’s why it says ‘natural fibre’ which is what rope is traditionally made from.
Dude you have a great show! I love the places you are and the industry knowledge you have cheers from Seattle!
Notice how at 7:03 he threads the line through the line from the adjacent boat. That way, either line can be removed at any time. If he had just looped the line over the other one, the other line could not be removed without removing Madame Gu's. If that makes any sense lol.
stunning yacht and great video!
I’m an F1 fan too. Always wanted to see this.
This was great! Thanks for sharing the step by step operational.
My experience working on the water ways? we did not stop. We loaded and un loaded all needs running, they just tied up besides us even small stores for us crew. The cooks ? never had better food in all my life and never a shortage of any thing, it was a feast at all 3 meals with left overs in between. We worked 12 hours on and 12 off 7 days a week all month long, out side, rain, sun shine or snow.
Stellar operator no mistakes!
Suuuper awesome editing sir! Thanks for posting! All these yacht videos are so inspiring for me.
Dying of curiosity here. I had never heard of divers fixing bow lines. BUT.... my question is.... to what?
Are there fixed eyes on the bottom? Are they just scattered in a grid? Or do they fix anchors at the end of the lines? Very curious how that works. Thanks, the video is so interesting. I've always wondered how these large yachts manage to squeeze in so tightly in harbors. The anchoring and tie off was very interesting as well.
since I don't own a yacht I didn't realize how much went in to just docking it.and btw great video.no dumb voice overs or music
“Cooper what are you doing?”
“Docking!”
This is one of my favorite yachts she is stunning.
Yeah she has great lines.
Superb and precise docking...
Very impressive... and thanks so much for the video of Madame Gu. Great job as always.
I love the color on it.!
FEADSHIP. Made with love in Holland.🇱🇺
Also a lot of Love from the UK, I did some of the interior work on this Yacht 🏴
What a terrific video. You have outdone yourself with Madame Gu. I have been following you for quite a while now, and this is the best of many, many interesting videos. Thanx.
Great job thank you.
Staggering waste of money. Beautiful
Great video once again. I just walked the port this morning and she is still tied snuggly in place.
Same process as mooring small yachts and motorboats in the Med. Stern to quay. Anchor or lazy lines. Just ropes and fenders much bigger and wind has less effect on these huge heavy superyachts.
She really is a show stopper! That colour seems to be perfect for the design. I think if it were on any other yacht it would look awfull.
Great vid as per usual!
Some marinas have fixed lines that stay on the bottom and are attached to the dock with thin lines. So you can pull them off the bottom without a diver.
Beautiful yacht!
Great video and I didn’t know just how many crew. it took just to dock .Stunning vessel too.
I didn't know they dropped the anchor whilst docking. I presume it's to secure the bow without paying for the divers to rig the bow lines to the bed.
Edit: just saw them rig those lines anyway. What a pulava! Imagine doing all this in the morning and casting off again that evening. Megayacht, Megapain!
Beautiful Super Yacht. Sharp crew.
I worked for the Niarchos family in the 80's, who owned the yacht 'Atlantis II' on her starboard side. ;)
i' ve always wanted one of those, I think I will buy that one.
Why not just have parking sensors and a few cameras at the back with some aerial drones to help parking,hardly expensive today?
Since there are 36 crew anyway, cheaper to just use them. More hands makes lighter work
Retractable wing stations! First time I have seen that.
Super cool video!!! The bow lines that the diver secures... I presume those are connected to permanent anchors on the harbor bottom, yes? What exactly is going on under the water there? Madame Gu is a gorgeous yacht! Wildest thing about her, though, is that she has four main engines with a total of nearly 20k horsepower!
usually its a chain to a massive lump of cement on the harbor bottom, SOME harbors have them drilled into the bedrock but not so common
Yes fixed points for lines.
So where do the additional bow lines come from? Are there cement pilings on the marina floor that the diver hooks the lines up to?
Very well done and very informative.
I liked it.
Could you explain the flags on the mast, never get bored watching this video
When you see whats available in most cars these days, you'd think that a boat like that would have advanced sensors / cameras to assist with docking
It’s not a car. Very different docking a ship versus parking a car.
You need skilled people to handle all the lines. A car doesn't (usually) need tying up
Super vidéos mercii ! Je les vue hier a monaco aussi
A million viewers can't be wrong, and they all can subscribe.
Got a couple of questions why the 2 little cross lines, and why as of my viewing the one dislike.
I liked the the giggle when the line was thrown over the beam.
Stops vessel turning either way. One dislike is my ex!
Very interesting thank you.
One question, why would you have the gangway taken out during the manouver looks dangerous and useless? Specially with that crane in the way
Very good looking. Nice.
Brilliant vid Citroen!
Great commentary on the process!
I've seen many lyxury yacht videos and havent heard once about furniture and decorations in rough seas. Are they bolted down? Are sofas and mirrors crashing all over the place or does the crew have to hold it all down?
Fantastic Video and very good use of terminology. I was wondering what did you do with the anchor. Did you retrieve after you put the lines from the bottom?
No anchor stays in place
Great video.
Nice paint job.
Very well detailed about docking thanks for that and well filmed
Since you seem to know a lot about yachts ... as they got rid of waste etc. how can I imagine that with the owner? Is he still onboard while this all is happening or do you think he left earlier and this was just an empty ride? I imagine most yachts are also just like toys that are barely used, and most of the time the crew is just on a stand-by. Could you give me more insights / opinions in that?
The owner was onboard during this. He wouldn’t see anything of that going on. Once set up it’s not noticeable.
Last year in Sardinia we waited behind Madame Gu on the fuel dock, whilst she took on 50,000 litres of fuel and the fuel line was like a fire hose!
Great job like only you can do!
Just curious but do you have a cold? So used to you narrating your videos.
Thinking laryngitis maybe.
I see Fly Me To The Moon is in Monaco. Owned by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou who also owns Strangers in the Night yacht.
No I’m fine. Just like to do these videos sometimes. Yes I saw him sitting on the aft deck of his yacht.
Is this used as a charter. If not and the owner is not and the owner is not on board does it just stay in monaco ?
Very nice and v informative. I liked v much the red arrows explaining in each stage who does what!
Great video! Thank you!
loved the video. Thanks, Sysman. They are always great.
Where the guy put the mooring line on the same post (7:06) as the other ship, how can that other ship leave?
Great video as always.
Why does she drop anchor and not use the divers to attach linest o the sunken moorings?
Great Vid
No reverse cameras yet or reverse sensors..?
