OK so it's Question & Answer time again people! It's been a while since I did a full one, although I know you've been enjoying the 'eSysman's Bits' single subject, short videos. It was time for a full video. And have I got plenty of questions to answer today! Filmed on my road trip from Italy back to my home in the UK, I have tried to answer as many questions as possible.
The questions I could get to will be continued in an 'Overtime' video on my other channel: eTechman, link below.

What a great way to pass time on a long journey, Love your channels, keep up the good work. Stay Safe !!
Great channel. Very informative with just the right amount of information. Perfect.
Having a full-sized sailboat hoisted up on deck on your super yacht is about the most badass thing i've seen this year, love the choice though :)
I wonder where he had the ripsaw parked when I saw that myself
eSysman educating and enlightening us peons; thanks for keeping folks like me in the nautical know. 😎
Years ago, while living in St Thomas, USVI, I got invited onboard a private motor yacht by the owner's personal secretary. I was quite young at the time and was very flattered. The accommodations were very luxurious, I must say. And the young male Filipino stewards were very easy on the eyes. Memories...
yah, I know. I get a small SS USA pension from working in Hollywood in college and was "offered" a residency on a nice yacht owned by a (horny) "mature" lady. That was back in the day when I had a pretty nice "peach bum" but didn't really know it. I said NO. Today?? I'd say YES, BABY, YES.
First class superyacht reporting taken to the highest level. Keep up the good work. Would be interesting for the owners of these beautiful boats using there water toys negotiating around the Russian navy fleet for the forceable future.
Incredibly interesting video as always! The fact about the Porsche lead deciding the launch color based on Madame Gu is amazing.
Keep up the great work, this was a very fun video riding along with you and listening to questions and answers Thanks Take Care!
Abramovich's new yacht will be the last new ship leaving the Lloyd Werft in Bremerhaven, the ship yard was unable to find new contracts and is expected to close at the end of 2021. 1200 jobs will be lost.
No big deal that 1200 fine crafts men and women will lose their jobs! The keystone pipe lost with everyone involved 10,000? With the pandemic thousands have lost their jobs in the US and I'm guess millions more Worldwide? Clearly that will have NO effect on the World economy---he said VERY sarcastically!!!
That’s a real shame. I was in that shipyard for some time on a big boat. Great facility and workers.
Not to diminish the problem for the individual, but Lloyd in Bremerhaven had to cut back to 350 FTE staff in 2017 already.
The 1200 probably refers to 1/3 overall staff cutbacks announced by its owner group of shipyards (MV Werften, owned by Genting HK).
@@eSysmanSuperYachts hope you enjoyed your time in my old hometown, I moved to Canada in the 90's. Which cruise ship? Lloyd had quite the name for re-fits, first one was the SS France into NCL's Norway in the late 70's. That was quite the sight, remember stopping at the shipyard with my buddies on bikes when we picked up Bananas directly from the longshoreman when they unloaded the freighters just the dock over. Good Times back then, great way to grow up.
@@IceAce1 yeah, all contract workers now. One of my old childhood buddies and his carpentry business are affected.
Really nice format, well thought out and executed. Look forward to more. Take care.
Question: What are the most common problems you find with an owners entourage (Security, PA/EAs, Personal Staff) and what top tips would you have for these people?
If I ever build a large boat I will definitely put thought into crew comfort after seeing your videos. Being at work on a boat for weeks at a time should at the very least be rewarded with a comfortable cabin and area to relax on off hours.
Ty for these Q and A’s. So intriguing. You should do more brother.
WoW! what a great idea to answer questions in your car !!! I love you show some the scenery flying by; reminds me of my childhood car and train rides in Switzerland ; )
Great Q&A, thanks for posting. I also thought of Madame Gu when I heard the description; very distinctive color.
Have you encountered rouge or freak wave during a passage?
Just so much fun to listen to all the stories and all the insight you share with us 😅!
10:05 My few minutes of fame! Thanks for answering my question eSysman, you're a sea stud! I noticed you driving past Aosta in Italy--so beautiful. I used to live in Italy--Milano, Genova, Asti, and Varese. I miss the food and the people (the beautiful girls especially). I do not miss the humid Italian winters--the cold goes right through your clothes. Ancora parlo l'Italiano bene!
Really enjoy your content. You would make an excellent tour guide for road trips between the UK and Europe.
As a Person Born and raised in New Orleans I want to thank you for pronouncing it correctly.............lol
New ORE LEEEENs
@@PepeDeezNutz LOL
Welcome. Loved my time there.

I quite enjoy your information, it’s very interesting, keep it up, safe trip home.
Ford uses an almost identical blue for its current Mustangs calling it Grabber Blue. Also used on Matras between 1968 and 1974 with Jackie Stewart at the wheel one or more years.
Nicely done, I enjoyed watching.
Great as always man. Can't wait to see how your fuel issue works out. Definitely agree on the fuel warning thing, mine becomes obnoxious at 50 miles to empty. The little orange/yellow light is not enough when you're deep in a podcast or vlog!
In 40 years of driving I only ever ran out of gas once, or almost, when I 1st got my license. Luckily I was at work, and just across the street from a gas station. It reminded me of how disasterous it could have been, and of the time we came very close in someone else's car, hundreds of miles from a gas station, in midwinter, on the Canadian prairie. Never even came close again after that!
Thought this was the same as the etechman QA. Happily surprised it's not 😅. Great content, sorry for not doing them in the correct order. Thanks again👍
Daamn this was a clever way to do this! 👍
Huge congrats on hitting 90k, the big 100,000k next, well deserved indeed
100,000k (100 million) would be something :-)
Hey i always wondered how the finances work on a big yacht. From the small things like groceries to fuel, marina costs, salary’s and other bills. Who pays it initially? Does the boat have a dedicated credit card and accountant. Hope you could give us some insight.
A large boat will have a full time provision worker on the boat and likely someone else managing finances from an office on land as well. The on boat worker checks inventories on the fly all day and figures out what needs constant ordering like food, shampoo, teak cleaner, oil, and so on. And those on land might mange the salaries and negotiate fueling and other things to alleviate the captain. Even a smaller yacht or private boat might have a small company or local company help manage the asset. Especially for the first year or two.
A superyacht basically burns bags of money every day. Hell every minute. Wasteful spending can explode out of control very quickly.
Very enjoyable & informative video!! Thank you!
A few days ago a video popped up in TH-cam recommend and it was a burial at sea. It was a USN veteran who's family had requested he be buried at sea and it was done with full military honours, I think it was on an aircraft carrier with the Captain doing the eulogy. I would imagine the USN are the exception as I can't imagine the RN or Carnival cruises offering that service 😁
Enjoyed the format
Hope you picked up some good Champagne in or around Reims. I saw the solar eclipse around there in 1999.
Q: Do refurbishment yards have outlets or second hand markets? What a new owner thinks is the wrong color of marble and replaces might be just right for me :-)
When you leave the Yacht and go home, who pays for your flights, and do you fly business class or cattle class ?
I spat my coffee everywhere when you came out of the tunnel!!! You sounded like crash bandicoot ( video game character ) 😂 , would have to agree with you on Octopus being ( still ) one of the nicest yachts out there, keep up the great work Sir, hoping to get down to the Monaco show in September ( fingers crossed ) will be driving from Dublin
That is a really great voice for the nav. A++
For a Super Yacht like Octopus, does the helicopter pilot travel with the yacht. And if so what is that persons rate on board?
If someone is choppering off and on a lot then yes the pilots live on the yacht. They will usually have their own areas of the crew quarters. Sometimes even situated near the helicopter pad or storage. Octopus is even more crazy in that there are not only full time chopper pilots that might live on board but full time engineers and operators for the submersible units.
That Montana cowboy that moors THREE yachts in N. Vanouver at Cates Tug (His dad bought it in the eighties for less than 100 million; chump change) flies his OWN Italian chopper off his newest yacht. I've seen him take off, briefcase and all.
Love the channel man cheers from Honduras..
I like this format very much. Do more videos like this if you can. Obviously I will se the other video.
Interesting. Thanks for posting
Its usually the other way around, boat owners (usually older guys) want a young, liberated woman who is easy on the eyes to come and be their live in partner for cruising and full time adventuring. A fairly common going on, sometimes it ends up in marriage but it seems to more often than not end when some younger guy who is richer and has a nicer boat makes them a beter offer.
Always wait for eSysman!...glad to see ya......
The fishing seat in one of your other videos made me wonder ... what kind of 'ordinary' hobbies might some super yacht owners have (while on board)?
1. what does it feel like going back and forth between seeing how the uber rich are living and your own - in terms of e.g. finances I´d guess middle of the road - life style. Isn´t it sometimes mind blowing?
2. If you had the kind of money your employers have: would you have a super yacht, too? (for example, I think that if I were filthy rich, I´d rather have some kind of expedition boat than a luxury yacht, and search the Mediterranean for antique ship wrecks, just for s&g.)
1. You become accustomed to the quality provided quickly. The expensive toys become work, the expensive decorations fade into the background.
2. If you worked/lived on a boat you wouldn't buy a boat. "A hole in the water into which you throw money."
It changes your baseline in terms of what is good quality that’s for sure.
For your next Q & A: what permanent staff members do the yacht owners bring on board with them? For instance, do the yacht owners bring with them hairdressers; secretaries, personal trainers, makeup artists, ladies' maids, valets, bodyguards and so on?
Personal trainers or hairdressers, massage, salon, those will all also be stewardesses who can do laundry or serve food. Same with deckhands and engineers and even the captain. A captain might literally help with laundry or food service if necessary. If someone on board can give massages or cut hair they can also serve food or clean rooms. Gotta be as efficient as possible. Like during provisioning the entire crew will help load or offload from stewardesses to even the captain if a lot of stuff is moving and they want to get the boat off quickly.
Bodyguards will help with the ship as well if they are familiar with it and will not get in the way of other staff. The fact is that even a $200million superyacht does not have unlimited space for crew. Everyone is doubling up on some type of work at some point during the week. Even the captain.
Hi, love your stuff, very interesting, have a question for your Q&A vids. ( please forgive my terminology as I’m just an interested land lubber ) Is there a calculation or rule of thumb when building a super yacht that decides the total fuel holding capacity, I assume the owner can do as he pleases but I was interested if there was a general rule, does nautical miles come into it at all ?
Q: Most super yachts seem to be motor vessels. While there are plenty of beautiful sailing yachts
Hello Captain , i see your driving from the right hand side of the vehicle on the right hand side of the road . do you change highway styles of driving easily , right vs left ? Enjoy your channel .
He said it's his car from the UK in the last long video
For people that do it often it's usually quite easy to adapt.
Reminds me of the Bahamas. So many cars there are from the US and it is a ex British colony so they don’t drive on the right side of the road.
I remember Palladium's 100 inch televisions in the master suite and main saloon. Impressive, but doubtless outdated now. Must be quite the job to replace those.
I loved the information; everyone had such great questions but also, that scenery was stunning.
Just to clarify, sorry esysman, I am referring to the mountains rather than your good self.
I agree about the scenery.
Funny you worked on a Carnival cruise ship. That was my one and only cruises in December 1996. We made a stop in New Orleans...the day or two before a freighter had lost power and crashed into the port!
Agreed on the haircut, a Sjt Major could stand on the end of your hair! 🤣
Serious question: What was the best yacht you have worked on and what area do you enjoy working the most, ie Med, Caribbean etc?
Question: How do you transport smaller boats across the ocean, for
example from Europe to the USA or any other far distance countries, if
they don't have enough range to do that by themself?
Thank you!
Selma Hayek 😍
Ese chica es una mamacita!
@@eSysmanSuperYachts There ya go! Now we're talking!!! Salma est tu Mamacita!!! Yupper!!
Interesting Videos... what was your trade in the RAF?... was this a grounding for your current occupation?
Question: Using Sirena 88 as an example, it has 3 beds for crew, so how is there enough room for captain, engineer, chef, deckhand(s), maid, etc.
Great channel BTW!!
They either sleep in shifts or 2 to one bed. 😂
There are mechanical refits also. Engines, transmissions, gensets, water makers, cranes, stabilizers, etc. Also hull or major structural modifications. Could be major electronics replacements. The list is endless. That kind of stuff tends to interest me more than the "eye candy". I like the engineering and capability aspects of a boat. I tend to like the explorer type yachts. Although that is a term that is often stretched a bit.
Fascinating🤩
What is the basic organigram of staff on a 80 plus yacht staff compliment - captain, staff captain, chief engineer, housekeepers, deckhands, room stewards, motorman, etc
10:27 exactly the way i reacted when i saw the Mont Blanc for the first time
Hahah
i agree. Octopus docs by the shopping centre at the time.
Question: What habits do you notice that the billionaires have?
Great channel!
they're never more than 5 minutes away from a Bloomberg Terminal
They prefer lions to cats.
have you ever stayed at Hotel Beatus in Cambrai ?? - great place
Question! Do you eat better when on the yacht or when at home?
Moving right along
very top gear-esq, making yourself into a little tv personality lol
Right after you played the audio recording that led to this video's title, TH-cam decided to play a commercial... It started with "Only pay for what you want to use".
Wasn't President Bush Jr. making the ultimate super yacht joke: Here HE is on a 74 metre yacht with a 17 year old, and here I AM on a 17 foot boat with a 74 year old?? I forget who he was referring to, but I found it HILARIOUS.
on cruiseships you have a morgue, dont think super yachts would have, but Carnival Cruise lines had morgues on board. Next to crew bar....ideal for yellow shots...just kidding.....
what do you think the boss asks for the moment he/she arrives on yacht, do they go directly to a lounge location or do they go on a deck location to have a drink.
I love having 5.1 hooked up to my workstation but there are times when I just think, "WTF IS THAT?!", today it was blinkers. 5:28 Looks like I'm turning left.
Do you know if WHY58x38 has been completed, the owner, and favorite port? Thanks for the great vids. Big fan.
Great shows. I've watched many as i love boats. Once a deck hand myself. You of course make being poor somewhat painful. But the beauty of these yachts worth the pain. Just one question? How come so many dining rooms? Every deck . Waste of space. BonVoyage.
Great choice with latinas !!
I was looking at marine traffic what I noticed we Brits like to buy sailing yachts more than Super Yachts every one I picked on the map was a Sailing Yacht not a Super Yacht.
#ROADTRIP QUESTION: #1. Do you have a captions license for a smaller boat and will you ever have your own charter boat? #2. You mentioned you are one of the oldest guys on the boat. What will you do for your "retirement" from working on super yatchs? (These questions may be in the wrong order)
Do Super Yachts have the 'new car' smell when they are delivered to the customer?
I am pushing 30 and still... not one refit!
A lot of adjustments tho!
Love this! But wish for a bit better audio. Feel free to record it in the car but fit a better mic
I see you started with a full tank of gas.......
It was a Dilbar fill up. He's going to be on a "long cruise" home. 👌🏼 🇬🇧 😂
There's over 1,000 miles to England, he's got a full tank of gas, absolutely no cigarettes, it's light out but he doesn't have sunglasses.
Hit it!
Question: has the eSysman ever been propositioned by a super yacht guest or owner?
Are you propositioning him right now?
K.I.T.T. has got some serious questions about yachting ... : )
I like the gulf jacket
What is the financial advantage of owning a Super Yacht? Aren’t they just “a hole in the ground to throw money into?”
Just the coolest TH-cam channel!
Could the blue hull yacht not be motor yacht go?
I don’t think so, it’s more of a turquoise colour.
Have you ever sailed over by somarlia and encountered any problems with the ever popular pirates. ++ I do like enjoy the content of your vids, thanks for sharing.
Not a related question but what position do you hold on the yacht?
What is the name of your other channel? You say that the other channel is not on TH-cam the TH-cam video I just watched you mentioned you would leave the other channel, and I don't see it here course I'm an old man and can't see where the dam thank you I enjoy your Channel it's always nice to dream
Not sure IF this will get noticed, but.... There are all these super yachts, and from youtube some different designs. Are
there any yachts you are aware of where the yacht is just a really hard sell, be it different design, w/e? Thanks
Madam Gu, my favourite MY.
My yachts like flying fox nord etc... Are owned by one person or a group of people's?
Hi I have a question
What do super yacht owners do to their
Pets if if their pets want to pee or poo while their on board
Hope you enjoyed Reims pity its all closed
Love going there.
@@eSysmanSuperYachts Great champagne region...
Do you own a car or do you rent a car when you travel back to your boat or travel home?
I own a car or two. Check out my other channel, you can see my cars there. HTTPS://TH-cam.com/esysmantech
Very nice.
I really enjoy these Roadtrip Q&As. Please keep doing them in the future. I also watched the one on your other channel.
I have a question for the future. Not sure if you answered this before. How do you think Elon's new Starlink Internet is going to change life aboard ship for the passengers and crew? Also is the boat your working planning on getting it? From what I've seen other than some lag the up and down speeds are teriffic. Heck I got friends here in Saskatchewan who are getting cause they live on farms and they've never had high speed internet before. Just what you can get through their phones. So 4g with data caps.
Have I answered it? I made a whole video about it! th-cam.com/video/1u9kaKVgHLc/w-d-xo.html
Salma Hayek. Definitely yes.
A couple things that I've wondered...
1. Why are yachts cleaned every day to protect from salt water, yet cruise ships seem to never be cleaned? I've never seen passenger footage of cruise ships that catch crew members scrubbing or wiping anything down. It'll unload Sunday, then leave for another trip Monday.
2. Are crew members ever asked what meals like they so the vessel can keep particular foods/entrees on hand, or is it 'this is what the cook like to make so that's what's for dinner'?
I really enjoy the Q&A videos :)
