lol, I don't even own a rubber duck, but I keep watching these. Its interesting and they show a life so different to mine
I don't even have a tub to skipper!
Its a life we can do without. But its interesting to see how the rich live. So much needed for this life style even winning a huge win would not cut it lol
The sea is in us, no matter how far from it we are.
I'm a fish biologist, and discovered your channel recently... Your fondness for M/Y Octopus and its incredible exploration capabilities is something I can sooooo get behind ❤️🐙
I would be the happiest person alive if I could spend the rest of my days on that vessel, exploring every corner of the sea.
You'd need a lot more than a week to figure out what killed Yogi, however. Just because you have the coordinates of the sinking doesn't mean you have the coordinates of the wreck itself. It'd take a *LOT* of work. (N=1, but I'd be sooooo in)
It's so true when you were talking about "on my last boat we did things....." nothing worse a new guy can do is is talk about prior employment...just shut up and do things you are told to do...and learn...there is always 10 different ways to do the same job...the correct way is the way your employer or boss tells you to do it...love the channel..
For us land lovers, the same rule applies!
With that thinking, improvements are unlikely to spread. If someone tells me a better way to do something, I'm just happy to learn.
Spot on and I’m still with my first boat gig employer 3years down the line
Ive seen many come and go through the door and heard so much difference of ways to use a product. What’s best when rinsing say a 51ft powercat. Nozzle or no nozzle, which displaces salt better?
also...some of those "things" we did were supposed to be kept secret.
Funny way of doing your job. In my job it's considered good practice and in some cases companies that refuse to accept input can go bankrupt real quick. I join a company to make it better, not to make the same mistakes they have been making for 10 years. If my suggestion isn't better or their way of doing it is better, we'll have had a nice discussion and at least one of us will have learned something.
I really enjoyed your responses and insights. Thank you.
This is great...Your Q&A is so honest and forthright... Love the insight into a world so incredibly interesting.
Another wonderful video and all the wonderful questions that were asked and your honest answers. Great job, as always.
On the average private megayacht, how long each year does the owner use it (onboard)?
Enjoyed that, not rushed at all. Questions were more interesting this time I think. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks
Love these Q&A videos. What’s the strangest/ weirdest moment whilst being on a yacht?
Are there certain captains that have a following i.e. reputation that makes them either desirable or undesirable to work for? Describe your best and worst captain that you have ever worked for? Love your channel and your content! I cannot wait to watch each new video, you are a class act!
I just decided to listen to some of your old posts; this one is extremely interesting about what goes on at sea....thank you!
Great and interesting video about the real live of below deck. Always appreciate it and hope you will continue a long time
Love your videos. Thanks for the insights into a world most know nothing about.
I have a couple of questions:
1. How are you able to get such good drone footage from marinas? Are marinas OK with flying drones? I would think that extremely rich people would be rather paranoid about their privacy.
2. Relationships between crew members. Have you ever had instances of a huge problems on board a yacht, after one crew member has ended a relationship with another and then started a new one, or more? People tend not to like being "dumped" and being that all the people involved are all living in such close proximity, I can see it potentially being a problem. Not everyone can act "professionally".
Another great video...keep ‘em coming and so pleased you are back working. Super yachts and everything about them have evolved immensely over the years... longer yachts, larger gross tonnage, they now have more toys onboard, submersibles and many more have support vessels... how do you think they will evolve over the next decade or so?
This was great! Thanks for doing this.
THANKS FOR A FASCINATING Q & A on a pertinent range of issues.
Concerning the boss sending the crew somewhere - Many moons ago when I worked on a yacht for a woman named Joan Kroc she would send us on her private jet as a treat. She sent us to the Grand Canyon once, with a helicopter ride and a nice meal looking over the canyon. She also sent us to Reno once for skiing and gambling.
It pretty much comes down to the boss and how they treat employees.
Ted Clark you left out the most interesting part..... Joan Kroc was the widow of Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s. When she died she left 1 billion dollars to the Salvation Army.... at the time, the single biggest charitable donation in human history.
Unless your story is about some other super rich woman also named Joan Kroc.
@@carpediem6431 Same woman, though I wasn't working for her when she died. She put the boat up for sale while we were in Florida, I left to come back to the west coast. Spent 4 years on her boat, 1989-1993. She called me pumpkin, never remembered my name. She was good people.
What a neat experience. Just from what I’ve read, it sounded like she was a good person. Nice to see that perception was real.
Depends on your employer definitely spot on
Thanks for answering my question, appreciate your time :)
I should be working right now.. but here I am, watching your videos, one after the other. Great content.
30 years old, and I only really started taking an interest in yachts over the past few days.
With my severely limited knowledge, I must say that I've taken a keen interest to "explorer" yachts.
Love watching this program!
Thank you for a wonderful presentation, I always enjoy your content and keep up the fantastic work. Look forward to more. God Bless and stay safe.
My interest in boats/ships goes as far as wanting to own a narrowboat and be a full time cruiser. I have no idea why I find your channel so bloody interesting lol. I guess stumbling upon it during furlough gave me great content to watch on days when I vegitated in front of the tv/pc.
Just found your channel. I absolutely love your content. I look forward to consuming all of your content.
... lovely intro with Estella ... & thanks too, for the mention of Epidemic Sound ... relaxed, wonderful informative & fun .. hilarious 'Hank' to Henry ... thanks so much ...
Excellent! I LOVE your videos! Especially the Q&As :)
Damn! Great Q&A! You're a living reference book. Thanks for TH-cam's most qualitative channel about superyacht.
Hands down!
Thanks this should be a television show . You've got the look the world can trust . Keep up the great work .
Thank you, love the channel... Stay safe... Steve...
Good job as always!!
Extremely informative. You make the difficult sound easy. Do take care. I look forward to your next video.
Great video. Discovered your channel today and I’ve already watched 4 videos. Looking forward to incorporating your videos into my nightly routine.
Very informative, excellent video
Great Q & A 👍😎
I've watched several of your videos and really like your style. Very informative, and interesting.
Keep up the most excellent work as I'm hitting subscribe!
Just found and have been sorting through.. AMAZING channel... THANKS SOOOOO much
That was good, enjoyed that.
Great Q&A. Thank you
Very interesting! Thank you for posting.
Excellent video!
After a (VERY seasick) week aboard a RN frigate (age 17, combined cadet force, 1977) in a steady force 8 in the North Sea then English Channel, my mate and I took the train back to his family's home (1 1/2hrs or so during which we felt fine with the motion of the train), BUT followed by a mile walk from the station - we both had trouble walking in a straight line and increasing nausea. We were unable to eat much of our supper that evening and both stumbled going up or down stairs that evening! We were pretty much recovered by the middle of the following day though.
THAT killed any ideas of following my father's footsteps into the Royal Navy for good!

...my pa in Royal Navy ...
I live in land locked Colorado and I watch all of your videos. I work running power plants, there is a lot of similarities I notice. Take care!
Thank you so much. Continued success to you.
Q&A: Glad to see the beard is still there. What is the typical career length? While I imagine the captains and engineers can potentially have several decades, what about interior staff or deckhands?
Very nicely done sir!
That was really interesting, thank you.
Fascinating. Thank you.
Great videos, and M/Y Octopus is my favorite as well....
Watched a number of your vids over the past few days which have provided interesting insight into the Super Yacht world. "Interesting" because of your frankness!. Some of it exactly as I expected, some of it a bit surprising, great infotainment!.
After being at sea on a 50 foot sailboat crossing Atlantic and being stuck in a couple tropical storms, I was land sick for more than 24 hours, so yes you can definitely be land sick. The crossing was New York - Accores-Gibraltar and we were 4 to crew the boat.
Secondly, no such thing as illegal for crossings but you do need to get special insurance for the crossing. Anyway, I enjoy your videos. Thank you
Passenger vessels have rules.
Makes total sense.
love these Q & A's. I have learned an enormous amt from just the 2 I have watched.
Great again, thanks!
Hello e, enjoyed your Q&A vids. Been watching for some time, only very recently found these. Amazing, this super yachting world. I had no idea that there were so many; especially the size of some of these. Best Wishes, C
Great Q & A love it 👍🏼
After the news, I usually watch a good amount of time watching Dodo. I happened on this guy tonight. I really like him. So grounded, humans, engaging and brilliant. What a good man he is.
These are why I subscribed to your channel! These 30+ minutes felt like 5. Loved that question about your pay, did they miss your porsche 😜
Q: do the 60m+ yachts miss out on a lot of Mediterranean ports or is everything "tenderable"? Solution?
60 meter yachts fit in most desirable harbours, you can go into Monaco, Portofino, Cannes, Calvi and Bonifacio (to name a few) and there are less desirable harbours which they also can visit if need be. Then there are harbours such as St Tropez, Porto Cervo and many others which i do not belive can fit such large vessels. I believe St Tropez has 2-3 spots for a 60 meter, and for the rest its a max of 45-55 meters (depending on where in the harbour) Now for the rest of the harbours, a boat of that size would most likely have a nice tender which would be able to enter.
I have no connection to the world of the sea or yachts. But I find you extremely interesting and entertaining. And thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. 😊👍👍
Question! You mentioned rotations, and opposites. 1. Can you please describe in detail how that works from a staffing perspective? 2. For full rotation, does the owner need to employ fully 2 of everyone? 3. [captain, first mate: is that an exception? (you mentioned the first mate is in charge when captain is on leave)]? 3. Do super yachts also frequently work with less than full rotation? 4. How does this work - Does this mean fewer crew are required?
Thanks for a detailed explanation! 🙏🏼
Love the opening, it’s like a scene from Hannibal (the tv show). Though being in lockdown for 6 months makes quality coffee a distant memory, so thanks for that.
I loved that show!!!!
Great video.
Thanks.
Love the Q&A vids!
Great Q and A! What is the most used ship Managment System? Or one you like?
Very informative and interesting video. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
These Q&A videos are excellent. When a yacht is at sea and the weather is very rough is there any damage ever done to the interior such as pictures coming off walls or ornaments crashing off tables etc... Thanks.
Love your videos.. when I have a Super Yacht, I will be looking for guys like you mate :D
Glad you are back at sea.
I did it for 5 years and money is crazy good. Depending on which country you are resident. But I didn’t have to pay taxes. So it is straight cash. You can save money very fast. But they call this industry ‘golden handcuffs’. It’s difficult to leave the trap.
Sounds awesome just stack cash. Shame I have zero experience..
There's no like, rent cost. At least when you're working. So that's just like money in your pocket.
Have you never heard of Nordhavn? All but one are less than 100 feet. They are typically operated by just a couple and have circumnavigated numerous times. One such is M/V Dirona.
I think the owner of n120 aurora didn't take delivery so it's probably owned nordhavan
@@karandev01 He didn't but Aurora was sold to another party and is now for sale. Nordhavn listed it for awhile but now it is listed by Northrop & Johnson
Nordhavn’s are not superyachts.
I haven’t been at sea in 30 years and my inner ear will still give bouts of underway.
Really fascinating Q*A session, thanks. Also, question at 11:43, good old Bob still manages to sneak a gun reference in there.
Excellent video sir.
As for crossing the oceans, the Nordhavn (PAE) did the round the world on there Category A Ocean certification 40' (12.2M) yacht. Not a super yacht by far but the N40's cross the ocean all the time. Personally, I did it in a 24M 76' Nordhavn.
Great Q&A sessions...
Only issue I picked up on: That Chef impersonation needs a lot of work!!!
Q&A
Besides hiring armored guards when crossing pirate infested waters, is there any other ways to defend yourself against them? Does having money ready to give away really work? Is there a certain distance offshore and Pirates won't go out that far? Where can I find an up-to-date map with all pirate encounters.
Pirates can operate hundreds of miles out into international waters, because they have support ships to fuel smaller attack boats. This is at least the case with Somali pirates, but not exclusively.
Scary
@@OpticalFetish scary
I always look forward to your videos and I appreciate your wealth of information, so I thank you for that. I would love to know how many Monaco GP's you have seen in person from a yacht if you have, thanks again.
Always enjoy your vlogs. Stay safe & healthy. Question...how is the pandemic changing procedures on board for crew & guest
Thank you so much, very informative..❤️
Great video,
Great content. Thank you.
Great channel, really enjoy it. Have you ever been on a long passage were a number of the crew got very seasick to the point where they couldn't discharge their duties? Is there enough redundancy in the manpower?
Love your Q&A videos, just found your channel and I think it is great. Here is my question, sorry if you had already addressed it. How does yacht maintenance work from the ownership side? By that I am asking, does an Owner, after buying a boat, hire a yacht maintenance company, who provides the crew, staffing, resources to maintain the boat? How are those companies found/selected by the owner? Is that how all yachts run, by using some company, for a set monthly fee I gather, or are there other ways that owners do it? Or does the owner rely on the Captain to manage everything related to maintenance and expenses, and the owner then pays for everything ad-hoc directly?
Also, about how much, depending on the size of boat, would the maintenance cost be a month? (Crew salary, fuel, goods, supplies ect.)
Again, love your channel and your insights are fascinating to watch.
Love the channel!
Can you just walk us through a normal day at sea ? How many hours below deck, How many hours in your bunk? How much time outside? etc... Is it a lot different for you when owner is on/off board?
Thanks for answering my questions, it was appreciated
Thx for giving insight into a world I’d otherwise never known.
Hello. And thank you for cinematically sharing a life that many of us dream about.
Your qualifications and interests are quite varied. It seems that you could work in several roles in differing industries.
My question is: "What is your career goal?"
Good stuff bud.thx
Very interesting, well done.
Excellent videos. In regards to mainstream yacht builders (
I’ve done 40 yrs. on yachts and I watch this.
Thanks for sharing your experience and insights into a world that is totally foreign to me! ;-) Cheers!
For your next Q&A... What is the procedure for when the boss makes a request that requires outside assistance? Such as a food item that isn't currently on board or something in a port that you're preparing to enter
You have concierge services on land that will take it out to you. Or you send a deckhand to get it.
Thank you very much for your insights. I really enjoy them.
I luv your videos and you’re such a calm speaker,Are used to work on the Mississippi ,on the mark twain,the Commodore and the president which was where they had concerts and dances, and the captains on the small were extremely friendly and would explains so much that was on the Mississippi, all about the locks and all about the vessels that were passing well we were docked are going to opposite way, it got to the point where we started getting hit by the barge is a lot and that just wasn’t cool especially if you were doing the dinner cruise and all the food would go on the floor,the people I worked with were amazing and just really kind humans!
Great channel!
I’ve worked in Antarctica several times and everyone got along “no fighting” and I believe that was because we all knew we were stuck there and had to get along. Is it the same in your line of work?
I'd be the worst person to take there because I'd assume everyone else was John Carpenter's The Thing.
@@darthkek1953 If everyone else is The Thing then you must also be one of them (given how easily the 'infection' spread) and you just aren't aware of it.
That's why he drank the diesel
Love the Q&A, sorry I didn't get my questions in.. I have always wondered if the owners show up in the engine room when there is a problem?
Cracking video as always. I understand you're reluctant to talk about what your role is, I imagine probably as part of a confidentiality policy on the ship. I, like many i'm sure, would love to know more about what you do onboard. I also subscribe to Tristan's channel and find the description of the tasks and procedures of a captain fascinating. Would be great if you could do something along those lines even if it was just the odd bit here and there. Either way, a brilliant channel with excellent presentation and a good mix of content. Many thanks.
My guess is he is a boat owner too, but definitely a *Chef de Cuisine*
Look at E sportin' the old school Gulf hoodie!!!
"No one cares about how you did it on your last boat." This is such an old sentiment that there is an old wooden ship phrase that goes "Different ships, different long splices."
Yes indeed. I've heard that from several people over the years. It irritates everyone...its like...why don't you go back? Please go back or shut up!
Your videos are GREAT...thx
'a bit rushed' really? This has to be one of the most in-depth Q&As on TH-cam...
🤔Q: What are some of your most hilarious and difficult provisioning requests? Also, can crew request provisions (i.e they have a particularly favorite breakfast item)? Thanks!
It felt rushed as I was filming it. Looked ok on the exit though.
Another great video. I was going to ask, but I already know the answer. Not many. Cheers...
:)
