@Tristen, I am continually impressed with your calmness and ease of tight situations. Cheers mate. i have watched allot of other yaht vids and yours are the best out there. No Joke.
Very cool stuff.My friend worked on a privately owned Feadship...The Seneca...for 7yrs...docked in Stuart Fl...sometimes Ft.Pierce.When owner wasn't on board I was able to stay on it for weeks at a time.I loved it but it was pretty demanding when it came to your time if you were crew. When the owner wanted to go...you better be ready...fortunately she & I shared a house in Jensen Beach & she knew her dog,Stanford,was safe w me!
Even though I have an Aviation background coming from the Caribbean. St Vincent and the Grenadines . I enjoy your video Vlogs from a Captain"s Perspective ..it shows you have a positive command of your Vessel meticulous and ascertive..good command qualities . Awrsome job..
It is very interesting to watch you and crew operate such a large vessel in such tight spaces with such coordinated grace and accuracy. Would expect no less from you all but it is really cool to see it happen. Nice work and congrats to you and crew. You all seem like very respectful fun to know people.
Nice to see you learnt your lesson from your berthing in Porto Rotundo, Sardinia Tristan. Observe, Observe, Observe. Ground lines are killers if you do not observe, good job crew, teamwork.
I just finished my STCW and my day skipper and starting my Yacht masters next week, seeing what I have been taught being used in a real life situation is a great help, thanks 😊
Man, what an incredible video. 1st off. Awesome camera placements and editing. 2nd. That is a scary job coming away from the cats on port and starboard side. 3rd. The amount of engineering & electrical engineering involved in these ships is CRAZY. I can't even imagine what the blue prints look like when it's being built. The electrical engineering is like freakn NASA. I mean, a sensor on every single window that shows open/closed position? The amount of skill it must take to plan out and run the wiring on these yatchs is unreal. I could watch videos like this all day. 1st time I've ever watched one. Thank you for showing what it takes to move a yatch successfully. I'm hooked now.
Slow and steady wins the race. It is really impressive to me to watch you handle AWOL with such finesse. Especially from such a tight anchorage. Job well done Tristan
Hi. Your GoPro Head setup is priceless! Thank You so much to show us your life on board AWOL. As an AB seaman i frequently ask myself why i did not choosen to work on a yacht. But, maybe ther will be a next life to take the chance. Cheers from Cuxhaven / North See.
Just recently found your channel and am enjoying it very much. Retired after 35 years as an airline Captain and while I don't know that much about yachts, find you to be both clearly experienced and enjoying what you do, and excellent at sharing your experiences. Look forward to see many more. Cheers!
Thanks for the behind the scenes Tristan. Is your checklist commercial or something specific for awol. It was great to see you go through it. Great reminders about system checks, safety equipment and communication. We went to Bluetooth ear pieces and conference calls instead of radios. You set your phone on the binnacle have your ear piece in and talk to the crew. Handsfree. Radios are the backup. Play with it. Wind can be a little tricky.
What concentration and with great ease. But I guess the experience pushes you to the top of yachting. This video is awesome, I love seeing and reviewing new and old videos. This is how we see remarkable progress. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Capt. In a previous video you mention one of your pet hates was about privacy onboard. I can understand whilst you have guests onboard you have to sleep in your tiny cabins...but surely as captain, once you don't have guests, you and Giv could sleep in one of the guest suites??? Can't believe that you guys don't use the guest facilities during the off season. Happy sailing. Cheers from a sunny Sydney Australia. PS: You guys should think about working out of one of the many ports around the Great Barrier reef. With a very low number of Covid cases surely this would be a good option to take advantage of the many multi-millionaires in the Asia Pacific rim.
You make it look so easy! Brilliant! Oh, and what a backdrop. Croatia looks amazing. It was almost as if the church bells were ringing for your departure!
I hope you and the crew were able to visit the town and the surrounding area a little. Hvar is not only beautiful from the water. The view from the rocks behind the city is breathtaking. 👍👍👍
oh...how I have missed this channel and vlog. another masterfully created video, Capt. Love the AWOL ... such a beautiful vessel. Hvar looks awesome. Perhaps one day my wife and I will be able to visit Croatia and other Med ports. Thanks for another great video.
I would love to see more of these ‘parking’ and leaving port video’s. Seeing the technique that it takes of ‘driving’ a super yacht. Loved the video 👌🏼
awesome seamanship! not sure if its been discussed, but a video talking about navigation planning for longer crossings would be fun to hear about. ie what goes into picking a route, fuel planning, boat prep, etc. thank you..
Absolutely wonderful casting off maneuver hats up captain and crew love the team work....no fuss...great bridge management,engine room and deck hands spot on. easing out with the anchors was brilliant....question was it one or two anchors!? and where you pulling on them at the same time without stopping!? could you explain please...when you were going to port you put the rudder hard to port and stbd ahead and port astern, can you explain please the rudder position "Hard port" why?? wouldnt pivot alone with the engines ahead and stern! great great video love it thanks captain and crew keep them coming please safe sailing Ps. the cameras positions were Excellent.
Brilliant Video Tristan. One of your very best. Excellent, interesting content and well edited. Many more like this please. Especially as the season will soon be over and ship handling videos will no longer be possible.
Videos like these give an invaluable insight for aspiring yacht captains! Loving the slick formatting and flow the videos have now - Thank you for keeping us with you throughout : P
@@robertstancer4469 Slow IS definitely pro, anyone who manoeuvres a vessel approaching a dock at any speed but slow is despite having all the observation provided by their own eyes and other assigned crew a complete and utter numpty. It doesn't matter how much observation is taking place because the faster you go the less time you have to react to unexpected issues that can crop up . I never was a yachtsman only a lowly harbour pilot.
@@keithmny This is the type of boating cliche that should be avoided. I fact avoid them at all costs. In the the UK we call what Mr Keithmany posts above as 'stating the bleedin obvious'. Wots wrong with berthing 'stern to' at 15knots heh! Keith baby?, perleese. As a rear admiral, (so i out rank you), it does not matter how slow you are going, if you don't see it, you'll hit it. For an example see Cpt Tristans video berthing a Porto Rodondo, Sardinia and his groundline incident.....all done at VERY LOW speed AND he says he had lookouts posted. If you are going to give out advice Mr Keithmany please make it of value. The 'pros' i know just laugh at this type of nautical nonsense. Hey, he's some you might like; Breast is best! Or, Hair of the Dog!........
Nice job... nice quiet morning to leave with no one else out and getting in the way, haha. I'd need a MUCH larger coffee mug if you tried to wake me at that hour - that little cup was like two and a half sips, haha... I STILL want to know if those glasses are from the channel you were advertising and which MODEL they are if so... but I may never get Tristen to answer that one. 😐 Thanks for the "working" vid - I like these. 👍
perfectly done and thanks for letting us know all small steps of controll and precheck . it was very impressive and gives an idea what to do all... as well as captian of an private sailboat i can take some small things whith me in the daily work.
I am a new subscriber and have to say, absolutely fantastic insight and explanation of what you do. I absolutely love what you are doing and appreciate your efforts to inform, educate and the opportunity to be a fly on the wall to witness. Thank you!!!
If I ever get so lucky to be onboard AWOL, I’ll ask permission to be up at 0530 and help with any maneuver. Beatiful places you share with us. Thank you.
I’m considering a 130-140’ but if I make the move that preparation checklist I’ll insist on. Have an 80’ now but never seen my captain use any list. Thank you for sharing !
So I heard someone once say that aircraft pilots LOVE their checklists (which you are carefully and dutifully going thru 👍👍👍) but long before pilots discovered them, submariners invented them. To this day, I am a huge fan of checklists from my submarine days. I have one for my 21 foot boat which pales in comparison to yours but is no less important than the checklist you are going thru. I only hope that other boat owners can learn from this video, the importance of an organized and thought out checklist!
That's good you have check lists and is using them. I been on some ship's where they don't use them and try to remember the checks by heart and wonder why something goes bad! I have a 1st Engineer's Unlimited Lic's for larger ship's.
Tristan i know you hate sail-yachts but man the skill you used to depart without engines is what you would use when sailing. me i love using not using the iron sails on arrival and departure using just enough sails to keep the boat under control and underway. so yeah you impressed me with that departure big time.
HEY Tristan, I agree with so many of your audience, MORE OF THIS ! It's really incredible the amount of crew coordination and communication that you are blessed with. Really quite interesting ! Is that a Resco watch you have there ? Cool video! Warmest Regards from Arizona
Great video Tristan! More of these procedural ones please. One question: I didn’t see anyone on the dock helping to let go your stern lines, so how did that work if your lines have loops on the end?
One of the best technical videos ever. Love the explanation of it all great camera work. What was the aft camera and how did you pan it? Is that a post production thing? Loved every bit of it.
I go through a similar process when I am starting my John Deer 1010 gas tractor and then moving it from the parking space out onto the drive. I could detail it for you if you’d like!
I am always amazed at how far the anchor is out from the boat. What is the depth/distance ratio? I guess my concern is running over it or are the ground lines doing th eholding and the anchor is just for docking and security? [I never go close in front of another anchored boat.] If there was a storm, do you 'tension' it up a bit to stop the stern hitting, or do the ground ropes do that? great channel of course blah blah....:-))
I like how as captain you run your crew..you treat them like the pros they are ..while not a ship captain i run a work crew. ..people are usually hard on workers ..im with these guys all day everyday ...i can be busting balls ..all day. I just had one quick talk with all of them ...told them ..you know your job and what you have to do .were all men with families. ..ive done each and every job and would never ask you to do anything i wouldn't do or haven't done ...

Thoroughly enjoy your informative videos.
Very nicely done, no running, no shouting, no panic.
Funny.....Rub Your Balls With Grease! Easy to remember! Favorite past time!
One of the most informative operational yacht video ice seen, thank you

Thanks Alan, All the best
@@SuperYachtCaptain You are welcome Tristen. !
Thanks for sharing !
Loved the video and most importantly the description of the maneuver. Keep it coming!
I loved that you showed the controls, what they do and you using them. This really interests me. More of that please.

the precision from human skills of the sea and modern technology is amazing to see
I would love to see and hear those Caterpillar V12 beauties start up. Could you film that sometime if possible, Tristan?
Nice to see you learnt your lesson from your berthing in Porto Rotundo, Sardinia Tristan. Observe, Observe, Observe. Ground lines are killers if you do not observe, good job crew, teamwork.
I just finished my STCW and my day skipper and starting my Yacht masters next week, seeing what I have been taught being used in a real life situation is a great help, thanks 😊
Best of luck on your yacht masters. Tristan does have lots of great tips.

I love how it’s so early the crew are tired and even the camera doesn’t have enough light to focus, BUT The Captain is sharp. Comforting

Loved watching your manovoring. I'm new to all of this but I hope that I will catch on to how things work. Thanks for your wonderful video.
Not only very informative, but I felt calm. thank you.

Look forward to see many more. Cheers!
Really great to see all the detail of departure. You’re clearly a pro - no bow thruster needed, full control of every aspect of the vessel 👍
Organised, calm, professional and very impressive departure from Port of Hvar. Great video Tristan.
Thanks for the behind the scenes Tristan. Is your checklist commercial or something specific for awol. It was great to see you go through it. Great reminders about system checks, safety equipment and communication. We went to Bluetooth ear pieces and conference calls instead of radios. You set your phone on the binnacle have your ear piece in and talk to the crew. Handsfree. Radios are the backup. Play with it. Wind can be a little tricky.
Thanks, good to know.
What concentration and with great ease. But I guess the experience pushes you to the top of yachting. This video is awesome, I love seeing and reviewing new and old videos. This is how we see remarkable progress. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Capt.
In a previous video you mention one of your pet hates was about privacy onboard. I can understand whilst you have guests onboard you have to sleep in your tiny cabins...but surely as captain, once you don't have guests, you and Giv could sleep in one of the guest suites??? Can't believe that you guys don't use the guest facilities during the off season. Happy sailing.
Cheers from a sunny Sydney Australia.
PS: You guys should think about working out of one of the many ports around the Great Barrier reef. With a very low number of Covid cases surely this would be a good option to take advantage of the many multi-millionaires in the Asia Pacific rim.
You make it look so easy! Brilliant!
Oh, and what a backdrop. Croatia looks amazing. It was almost as if the church bells were ringing for your departure!
Takes me back to my days at sea. The manoeuvring in and out of port was often a delicate process.
I hope you and the crew were able to visit the town and the surrounding area a little.
Hvar is not only beautiful from the water.
The view from the rocks behind the city is breathtaking.
👍👍👍
Greatest vlog on TH-cam

The sound of that anchor chair is some pretty incredible ASMR... :D
The bell's in the back ground are way cool, Nice wake up. :) You all be safe.
Great video. Nice, calm and controlled. Gently does it. 👍👍
Absolutely wonderful casting off maneuver
hats up captain and crew
love the team work....no fuss...great bridge management,engine room and deck hands spot on.
easing out with the anchors was brilliant....question was it one or two anchors!? and where you pulling on them at the same time without stopping!?
could you explain please...when you were going to port you put the rudder hard to port and stbd ahead and port astern, can you explain please the rudder position "Hard port" why?? wouldnt pivot alone with the engines ahead and stern!

keep them coming please
safe sailing

the cameras positions were Excellent.

what a great video on leaving the berth. boat under total control nothing rushed all smooth👏👏
Videos like these give an invaluable insight for aspiring yacht captains! Loving the slick formatting and flow the videos have now - Thank you for keeping us with you throughout : P
You've just proven what I was told many years ago, "Slow Is Pro" that was perfection.
Absolutely 💯
The first time I sat at the helm as a boy the first bit of advice given was, "neutral is your friend".
I have passed on that sound tip ever since.
Sorry, no Keith you are wrong, slow is NOT pro. Observation, or lookout is pro. I can only conclude you are not a pro yachtsman. Keep learning.
@@robertstancer4469 Slow IS definitely pro, anyone who manoeuvres a vessel approaching a dock at any speed but slow is despite having all the observation provided by their own eyes and other assigned crew a complete and utter numpty.

I m so happy to find your chanel..i m from Québec in Canada
Would love to see footage of the departure out to sea... outside... so peaceful and love the gentle rumble of the main engines... 😉🥃
Greetings from Croatia, Pula. Nice and educational videos
I LOVE videos like this. Great job Captain.
Soo jealous of the crew and guests on AWOL. The places you are going we can only dream of during Covid.
I very much like your calm and smooth manoeuvering in habours.
Many thanks!

Outstanding vlog Captain. Felt like I was there. What a way to start the day.
Very good explanation of getting underway. Very cool and as always, slow is indeed pro.
Great job on both the video and the driving of AWOL.
As always, brilliant content. Thank you again Captn’ for taking the time to publish these vids.

I like these types of videos. Thanks! 👍🏼
Well done, sir. Great explanation and walk through. Love these "How to..." videos.
Such a calm and beautiful video. And those bells in the background were perfect!
Any crew that labels the anchor chain Rub Your Balls With Grease sounds like a fun group to sail with.
If I ever get so lucky to be onboard AWOL, I’ll ask permission to be up at 0530 and help with any maneuver. Beatiful places you share with us. Thank you.
and he'd tell you no. Insurance....

Subscribed! Thank you for this video...I loved every second. What a vessel!!
Great job, Captain Tristan... you always post a wonderful and interesting video. Thanks so much!
Love seeing these kinda videos............👌
Believe it or not; that was pretty cool! Thank you for showing us this event!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was just gorgeous to watch you all but well done to your handling of that wonderful yacht! Oh if only I could be on it with you guys! sigh!!
Best video yet. Nice departure, by the book!!!
Finally back to the good stuff. Nice vid. Thanks
When they assigned you that berth, Did it come with a tube of Vaseline? LOL! 🤣⚓👍
Or a barrel of K.Y.jelly ,considering how many females it attracts!
You are gorgeous! And amazingly calm and professional.
Great job Tristen. This vid had me glued.
Yes I enjoyed it, thank you very much for that it was very educational thanks again, you are the best!!!
Enjoyed that. Need to buy a Super Yacht now.
Well done captain great job and also on the vid one of the best thanks very much
So very interesting to see and hear in such detail how you prepare for and then commence departure.
That's good you have check lists and is using them. I been on some ship's where they don't use them and try to remember the checks by heart and wonder why something goes bad! I have a 1st Engineer's Unlimited Lic's for larger ship's.
Great content, thanks for walking us through the maneuver.
Love watching your videos. From my point of view it sure looks like the best job and the best life. 👍🏽
Thanks a lot 😇👌

I did use a bit of propulsion to stop the stern drifting to port. 👍😎
@@SuperYachtCaptain well that's just nit picking and needed because of the tight quarters you where maneuvering in.
One of the best video’s in a while! (and no obtrusive sponsors)
Nice vid as always, must've been Sunday with all them bloody bells :-)
HEY Tristan,
I agree with so many of your audience, MORE OF THIS ! It's really incredible the amount of crew coordination and communication that you are blessed with. Really quite interesting !
Is that a Resco watch you have there ?
Cool video!
Warmest Regards from Arizona
OMG that was really tight they don't give you much room do they greatVlog love to see you maneuvering the ship great job thanks
Very interesting video. One of your best. The kinds of details o like. Going through the same checks that pilots perform.
Great video Tristan! More of these procedural ones please. One question: I didn’t see anyone on the dock helping to let go your stern lines, so how did that work if your lines have loops on the end?
Thanks Adrian,
We didn’t have line handlers on the dock so we slipped the Stbd stern line.
😇
nice and calm morning
That was cool! Really enjoyed it. Thanks!
Splendid go thru. Thanks
One of the best technical videos ever. Love the explanation of it all great camera work. What was the aft camera and how did you pan it? Is that a post production thing? Loved every bit of it.
Really enjoy these types of video's!
Great stuff loved the look around. Stay safe.
WOUAOUWWW I really LIKE VERY MUCH this video! Thank you so much!!!!!
I go through a similar process when I am starting my John Deer 1010 gas tractor and then moving it from the parking space out onto the drive. I could detail it for you if you’d like!
I am always amazed at how far the anchor is out from the boat. What is the depth/distance ratio? I guess my concern is running over it or are the ground lines doing th eholding and the anchor is just for docking and security?
