I've worked from home for 15 years reading blueprints for contractors. My wife's work with the state shut their offices down during the pandemic and then decided she could work from home fulltime. It has been 2 years now and after her mental transition of working at home and not being out and about every day, we worked on our rolls and space for the work day. I have found that I adore having her home with me and we've gotten along swimmingly. We both are near retirement and us being home together until then will smooth us into our golden years together.
You make a really beautiful couple. The fact that you are still together after eight years working and living in confined conditions shows that you are the real deal. You are both genuine and down to earth and that is something I value. Xx
Nice video Tristan, good to have an owner that understands that this can work. My wife and I worked together for the first 10 years of our marriage, the 14th of this month was our 34th anniversary and she is still my best friend. Wish you both all the love, peace and happiness life has to give.
Ahhhhhhh, how wonderful it is to be young. Two beautiful people living their life as they see it. May you keep finding happiness in everything and in everywhere turn.
Mad respect you both. I have been married for 36 years.BUT if my wife and I was around each other 24/7 and in close quarters like this...I would be thrown overboard.Great video thank you for sharing
This for me has been the best "BLOG". to date.....As a Dad and Grandad and a total boat person.... The personal aspect given by you two regarding how you handle personal and job situations in what is a very close call situation...And the fact that Tristan is Captain of the vessel speaks volumes for the approach you both have and the respect given by the crew....I am sure your vessel and the way it is run will be the envy of many Captains/owners alike.. Hats off to you guys.....
Hi Tristan, I'm embarrassed to say that before your channel my only exposure to yacht crews was the reality show Below Deck. My opinion was that I would never surround myself with people like that. It is so refreshing to see what a real yacht crew is like. I have learned a lot from your channel on how I plan on running my own boat. Even though it is not to your scale as an airline captain for 35 yrs. I appreciate the attention to detail and the organization that you have on AWOL. You are a lucky man in many ways. You are doing what you love and you have a wonderful partner to share that lifestyle with. Giverny is obviously beautiful, but every time she speaks her inner beauty and intelligence comes pouring out. You compliment each other very well. You are obviously both intelligent, driven people that take pride in both your personal and professional lives. Bravo on your success both on AWOL and in your relationship. It didn't happen by luck, you are both very special people. Much love and respect to you and Giverny, Paul
Delighted that you are such a happy couple in circumstances that cannot always be easy. Making your lives in a beautifully appointed shoebox must take real commitment.
As mentioned by Johnnyllad, you make a beatiful couple. I love your humility and gratefulness. What you have built is of not from happenchance. You take care of your loving relationship, your team and your connection to your boss just like you take care of a garden (leadership): you plant the seed, you water it and pull out the weeds (drama) as soon as they appear. Your boss obviously does the same. All the best.
The best video yet. Congratulations, I never knew about you guys. Answered my question about where the Captains cabin was and more. Real informative. She is right about having diferent workings hours along with diferent responsabilities does help the relationship. I now look at you Tristin in a new way. This video took you from being just a boss to just a regular guy with a job. A good thing. Was married once so can relate to the bathroom and closet space lol. Its the same for all couples :). Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work. And many more years of happiness together . you guys make a lovely couple.
MHB 75 their basically like butlers on a yacht that caters to rich people. So a person rents out the boat and usually has people with them. So their job it’s too feed them, provide entertainment, etc.
TechMeOut JR he’s not a butler, he’s the captain of the yacht. The clues in the channel name / on his t-shirt / in the video title. Giv is chief stewardess I believe.
Great to see and hear your "inside story" for which many thanks. You are blessed to have each other. Living and working together isn't easy, but you both obviously make the effort and gain the rewards. Best wishes to you both. And when Tristan wants a break from the captain's vlog, let's see more from Giv about the work of chief steward.
You 2 are great, I can totally appreciate your situation as I drove a big rig for ten years from Canada to the States and my wife (girlfriend at the time) came with me everywhere! We have 3 children now and are absolutely living live to the fullest! Cheers guys and am loving your video's
What a fantastic video guys, sharing your relationships with us all! It sounds complicated but at the same time exciting! Thank you for sharing this, you truly are the 0.1%!
I've enjoyed your videos so much. I remember seeing this video when I first started following you, but it is a treat to see it again now that I've been following the videos. Nice to see you as a couple, how working different hours helps coping with your being together in limited space 24/7 365. Keep up the great work and the enjoyable videos. I wish you both the best in your relationship and wonderful careers!
Good video. I spent over a decade as a truck driver living out of my truck. I am quite used to living in confined spaces. The layout seems really god, and a lot better than some of the other crew quarters I’ve seen. So appreciate you guys, and so happy for you that you can make it work. That’s one of the reasons I like you channel is that you’re so open about the day to day life aboard a super yacht. One thing I’ve been meaning to ask, what’s under the stairs leading up out of the crew area. E
Geez, and I bare boat-chartered a 40 foot sailboat and was one part of three couples aboard for a mere week. By the end of day six, all three couples were ready to kill each other, and nobody was getting along with anybody. Could not WAIT to get off that boat! High praise for Tristan and Giverny, about whom I had some faint suspicion! Cheers and best wishes. And I really enjoy your videos.
They’re obviously incredibly wealthy as most people don’t have personal staff, nor do they have personal chefs but it’s very nice are they should share their life with us in this way and I’m pleased that they enjoy their beautiful home with us on here thankyou xx
Just came across your blog. For what one thinks of as such a “prestigious” job, you and Giv seem to be the most normal, down to earth people!!! Am enjoying watching!
My cousin was doings exactly what you are doing she was chief stewardess he was the captain and after many happy years and tax free wages they now live in ibiza with 2 beautiful daughters all the best guys x
now i think the captains cabin would be bigger and more plush i never been on a yacht so thank you for showing part of your life...and what a cute couple you two
Thank you for sharing that. Is eight years together on a superyacht the equivalent of 25 years married? You seem to be so harmonious together, it's delightful to observe, you must feel lucky that you have found each other.
Thank you Tristan for all you amazing videos. i was waiting for a long, a video about the crew quarters. So what a beautiful couplIe you are making. It’s really a treat to follow you on your superyacht"s life. Love from France.
Hello from a retired mariner after 40 years of the water. I just ran across your TH-cam channel. It is very interesting, keep up the good work. I have been binge watching you channel and stay safe.
Jeeze! You live with less clothes and personal gack than I take on an overnight trip! Love the commitment to saving plastic. i work in the film industry. We have the SAME problem where if we aren't careful we can blow through that many plastic water bottles on a small shoot as well in even less time!!! We actually saved $ recently buying the crew and clients aluminum water bottles (non-insulated) at $3.50 each and a water station to refill them. It IS SO doable to save plastic - and save it for really important things like medicine, food safety, etc. Will check out the org even though it's a different industry. Rock on!
Great video from you both....you make a great couple, and if I were in the market for a SuperYacht charter I would have every confidence in your ability to try your hardest to make my holiday memorable. Cool, calm and confident....great team!
Tristan, I'M jealous. The two of you are such a happy couple, but the main factor is that even you have your own schedules, you always know that your life partner is only a shout away. What a privelage!!!!!!! You are on a working holiday!!!! And for me, after all these years, me and my fiance are also 24/7 in each others company because she is working with me. That is an absolete great privelage. It's making everything so much easy. You are a beautiful couple!!!!!
Tristan, love your videos. I love Harleys and boats and always been captivated by big yachts. Your vids are really cool. Your lady Giv is absolutely adorable. Happy for you both, and I can imagine it must get crazy at times. Looking forward to your next video. Maybe can do an exclusive on the power plants in that bad boy and your engineer,Im a big motor head.
For several years i worked at an office where everyone worked extremely cohesively, we were firing on all cylinders and it was great. So enjoy that atmosphere while it last. It only take one person to knock everything out of whack. Great video and a very fine yacht I might add.
“LOVE IS IN THE AIR”...... Thank’s to both of you Tristan and Giverny(sorry if I spelled your name wrong) another “lovely” video from....... “ THE LOVE BOAT “ all the best to you guy,s and of course also to the rest of the crew. Look forward to the next video..and the next.....;)
Great Vid Tristan The first Lady looks and sounds lovely I'm an72 year OLD sea dog that Sailed you know wind boat lol for a while and just Found your posts Fantastic I've joined 4ocens YES we the world HAVE To clean up our seas xox
Thanks guys, glad your so happy. Maybe brighten up your cabin with some beautiful original paintings. They take you out of your tiny space and let your imagination flow. I'm sure you can afford them on a super yacht Captain's cheque. What I would also do is buy a Bluetooth speaker (even if you have to play it quietly). Live life, love music! I don't mean to be patronizing but I am currently locked down in a small condo in Bangkok and I'd have gone mad without music and art.
Tristan, I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching all day. Just from my short exposure to your life (which I truly thank you for sharing), I have come to see a true satisfaction of one's life. It is amazing. Think of it...You are living the life that many, many of us mortals can only dream of... You are a ships "master"... A position or earned respect!!! (Be Very Proud of your Accomplishments). Maybe not where you planned... but thru the years you have earned every Gold Braid. I also hope you realize just how lucky you are to have found a beautiful, compatible, smart and loving partner for your life's adventures. Truly... you are blessed!!! I wish the both of you peace and happiness, I would love to be able to book a week of living out the fantasy of the blessed on the beautiful AWOL, but alas.. It is not to be. I will watch and enjoy thru you vlogs. Thanks, Captain!!! Much Respect. Salute!.
The thing is, finding someone to stay out of your way when it's a bad day, cause ultimately, you are responsible for everybody that sets a foot on your yacht, including the owner, cause you are the captain. You're lucky to have found Giv and to have stayed together so long, but of course, she knows you well enough by now that there are good days and bad and when to stay low key or to speak up. Top marks for giving Barbara your masters cabin so you and Giv can have your own space.
Guys they live in the beautiful South of France and spend all summer visiting the most beautiful places in Europe. Did you really think he would propose in a 4m X 3m box at work? I'm sure he has more class than that. LOL.
@@amandaashton5444 Of course, I completely agree with you Amanda. Not knowing how a proposal video could have ended, it was either of i) he gently guides her to the top deck where under a full moon and twinkling stars they gaze into each other's eyes, or ii) they show us viewers the laundry room whereby he gets down on one knee before the iron and pops the blessed question. True love...............
I’ve recently turned a corner mentally and feel a wave of ambition washing over me. I spend every morning having a coffee at Sanctuary Cove Marina, looking at the yachts and dreaming. I really want to enter the yacht space, as a crew member or in sales, and one day as an owner!
Your very professional and accountable in everything you do Captain. She's beautiful and very professional as well. The two of you make a great team. Both of you are very blessed.
Great to see you too together. I didn’t know you were married and working with your wife!! So happy for you too. It’s rare that a captain gets to be with their spouse.
Thank you for sharing your life and experiences on board AWOL it is very interesting. Thank you also for all the videos so well and professionally presented Tristan.
@@inconnu4042 There is hope. Microturbine generators have only recently become approved by Lloyds for use in yachts. They burn diesel much much cleaner than piston engines ever will. Combined in a hybrid electric setup this will make diesel powered yachts extremely clean and quiet. Also, there seems to be a large amount of capital going into producing synthetic fuels in places with excess renewable energy. This kind of diesel will be CO2 neutral in addition to being without sulphur and other harmful stuff. Pure battery-electric yachts will have low speeds and very short ranges for decades to come. Hydrogen has potential, but I don't trust those high pressure tanks anymore after reading about the accidents that have happened.
Hello there, I was not sure whether I wanted to watch this VLOG, so pleased I did, what a great relationship you pair must have, it came over on the camera that it was genuine, full marks to the both of you, good luck to the both of you for the future. P.S. yes I agree with a previous response, time for a 'ring' as you apear to have something very special. Best regards
My now ex-wide and I used to work closely together at a resort...I was a sauteed chef, she was a hostess, we made it work for 10 years, and it was fantastic.. until she changed careers and we lost that closeness, and then she found someone who had the same schedule...And now we're history...It's all good !!
Good video mate, nice to see just a normal couple making a living on super yachts Not having a good day today, my boat is still out of the water. Being a English man you can appreciate a bank holiday weekend with weather in the 30s ,I should be taking advantage of it But your video has cheered me up 👍
Great video. Always interesting to see how the real living conditions are. Great that you guys can get along so well together in a confined space like that. I’d be interested in seeing a video about how many different uniforms you have and when you wear each uniform?
E.g. the black one is for the evening/night. Tristan mentioned that once in his previous vlogs. Not sure about the others. But expect, that during heavy work they will have special clothes. Or are wearing the white shirts,..
What a fantastic couple thank you for the insight to your private life of living onboard. I also thought a ring was in the offering lol. I started watching as a boater myself it’s only a 7mtr Rib these days and not a 43 ketch that I used to own. it would be great to see you keep the videos up no matter what boat you guys are on. 👍👍
I've always wondered about how good of an investment it would be for me to buy my own yacht and captain it myself and take charters. As Captain I would assume you have a pretty good idea of what kind of profits the yacte brings in considering the insurance, cost of crew, upkeep etc compared to the charter income. I'd be interested to know what the owners end up with over the life of the yacht.
It truly is A Way Of Life. If I was a yacht owner, I'd be tempted to have 2 of each crew, 2 captains, engineers and so on. So crew can have family time.
Congratulations on the another fantastic video you keep pulling them out of the bag, enjoyed seeing you both on it, you will soon have 60K subscriber's . Thanks for the insite on how you both spend your time and it's obvious how much you are in love with her put a ring on her finger soon . Cheers Ty .
Hey Thank you for this great tour on the Super Yacht!!! Is great to have so many information and inputs from your time and live on AWOL. See you in the next video. Regards Mathias
Beautiful young lady. I was a photographer on cruise ships. I met my wife who was a hairdresser. We recently had our 38th anniversary, and been together 41 years

How's the outbreak treating you?
Jajajajajajaaj 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But she’ll throw you a rafter 😆😆😆

WOW, thank you Barry for your very kind words. much appreciated.

Am I the only that thought it was their boat by the title? 😂
I am here
Lmao I’m still lost wtf they do??
MHB 75 their basically like butlers on a yacht that caters to rich people. So a person rents out the boat and usually has people with them. So their job it’s too feed them, provide entertainment, etc.
That's what I thought too I thought they owned the boat

Till a certain point in the video i tought you were the owners.........
haha me too, then i started worrying what would happen if one day one of the wealthy guests decides to make a move on the lady.
Good fun! ahah
no just look on the room lmao if your the owner of super yacht why will you drive your own yatch do you even have time to do that stuff? lol
lol same..
haha me too..
Incredibly nice of you to share a bit of your personal life with all of us! The best to both of you and your crew! Thank you for the great content!
Another great video, Capt. Rather gentlemanly and professional to give up your cabin. Am sure the sacrifice is appreciated.

What a beautiful couple, long may you flourish together
What a great insight to not only how the crew lives on board but also into your personnel life. You guys are adorable, Thank You for sharing.
Thanks Steve. :)
If I’m ever in a position to charter a yacht- it would be AWOL, or any other you are Captain of. Great insight... and a lovely couple.
Thank you Clive, very kind of you.
@@SuperYachtCaptain So ... stupid question but YOU are the Captain? What job does your wife do?
Isn't there a spacious, specific cabin for the Captain off the bridge or wheel house?
Ralph Bender the bridge 🙃
Award winning chef here..only doing private yacht work now.
Hats off to you! Chartering is THE toughest program. Really enjoying your channel.
Lovely to see a bit more of givinator and how you cope on a super yacht as a couple
Just came across your blog. For what one thinks of as such a “prestigious” job, you and Giv seem to be the most normal, down to earth people!!! Am enjoying watching!
My cousin was doings exactly what you are doing she was chief stewardess he was the captain and after many happy years and tax free wages they now live in ibiza with 2 beautiful daughters all the best guys x
Captain/ stew couples always seem to have daughters when they have kids. Never boys. Strange hey
now i think the captains cabin would be bigger and more plush i never been on a yacht so thank you for showing part of your life...and what a cute couple you two
1:18- 1:28 The light off the water was perfect for showing off her amazingly beautiful blue eyes.
Thank you for sharing that. Is eight years together on a superyacht the equivalent of 25 years married? You seem to be so harmonious together, it's delightful to observe, you must feel lucky that you have found each other.

Great story, I guess owners should start thinking of providing hard working people more space! There is sooo much space on these boats!
What a way of life you guys have, so drastic from the norm. Amazed at the perseverance you've had over the years, certainly a blessing
❤️ Love the more personal touch. Great too see you both, one can tell that you are made for each other. Take care!
Cheers Peter, All the best.
Living on board is a true test for a relationship. You guys are doing well, keep it going. Great vid
Super Yacht AWOL just got another big thumbs up. Glad you are here with a thank you for sharing, a small part of your day.!

About time we had an interview / Q&A with the owner??
Unfortunately, I don't think that going to happen.
This video is about romantic love, not about 'life on a boat'. What an amazing story and experience to share. Inspirational.
“LOVE IS IN THE AIR”......
Thank’s to both of you Tristan and Giverny(sorry if I spelled your name wrong) another “lovely” video from....... “ THE LOVE BOAT “ all the best to you guy,s and of course also to the rest of the crew. Look forward to the next video..and the next.....;)
You really love her. I watch you looking at her and it's just lovely. Thank you both for sharing your story.

You're lucky to have found Giv and to have stayed together so long, but of course, she knows you well enough by now that there are good days and bad and when to stay low key or to speak up. Top marks for giving Barbara your masters cabin so you and Giv can have your own space.
Anyone else thinking Dude was gonna put a ring on it at the end of this video ?
I was waiting for it also Ian lol
Guys they live in the beautiful South of France and spend all summer visiting the most beautiful places in Europe. Did you really think he would propose in a 4m X 3m box at work? I'm sure he has more class than that. LOL.
@@amandaashton5444 Of course, I completely agree with you Amanda. Not knowing how a proposal video could have ended, it was either of i) he gently guides her to the top deck where under a full moon and twinkling stars they gaze into each other's eyes, or ii) they show us viewers the laundry room whereby he gets down on one knee before the iron and pops the blessed question. True love...............
Hummmmmmmm .... this is turning out interesting …
Thought for sure it was going to happen.
I’ve recently turned a corner mentally and feel a wave of ambition washing over me. I spend every morning having a coffee at Sanctuary Cove Marina, looking at the yachts and dreaming. I really want to enter the yacht space, as a crew member or in sales, and one day as an owner!
Your very professional and accountable in everything you do Captain. She's beautiful and very professional as well. The two of you make a great team. Both of you are very blessed.
WOW, thank you so much James. All the best to you.
Great to see you too together. I didn’t know you were married and working with your wife!! So happy for you too. It’s rare that a captain gets to be with their spouse.
Just a couple. Not married.
A great insight to life aboard.
Thanks for sharing .
Thanks Steve
Lovely couple. The owners are fortunate to have you on board.
Your reaction to the fruit 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Thank you for sharing and props on conserving plastic!!!! 👍💯🍻
Thank you for sharing your life and experiences on board AWOL it is very interesting. Thank you also for all the videos so well and professionally presented Tristan.
It takes two very special people to five in a tiny room on a crowded boat. Congratulations on finding two special people.
You are a lucky and richly-blessed man, Tristan. Between your job and your lovely lady, you seem to have the best of all worlds.
Relationship lessons 101! We all should have this attitude even in a 10,000sq/ft home! Wonderful!!!!!
You must be two wonderful people with wonderful personalities who have a relationship on board and be in peace. God bless you both.
Very lucky indeed. What a wonderful life you have. The world is your oyster.
Another South African! There's at least one on every Super yacht channel that I follow. 🇿🇦🇿🇦
Wow you guys that is pretty shocking. You might as well be on the space station, but I guess that would be less stress. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video! Like the opening. She's a keeper Tristan, you get 20% of closet, you lucky dog. Lol. Seriously appreciate your videos.

I think modern diesel engines are quite clean, but correct me if I am wrong
@@cryptohouse1676 no fossil fuel is clean, even new biodiesel
@@inconnu4042 There is hope. Microturbine generators have only recently become approved by Lloyds for use in yachts. They burn diesel much much cleaner than piston engines ever will. Combined in a hybrid electric setup this will make diesel powered yachts extremely clean and quiet. Also, there seems to be a large amount of capital going into producing synthetic fuels in places with excess renewable energy. This kind of diesel will be CO2 neutral in addition to being without sulphur and other harmful stuff.
Pure battery-electric yachts will have low speeds and very short ranges for decades to come.
Hydrogen has potential, but I don't trust those high pressure tanks anymore after reading about the accidents that have happened.
@@cryptohouse1676 that’s great news
You make a great couple and superb team for the owners. Thanks for sharing the video and hope you have good times together.
Hello there, I was not sure whether I wanted to watch this VLOG, so pleased I did, what a great relationship you pair must have, it came over on the camera that it was genuine, full marks to the both of you, good luck to the both of you for the future.
P.S. yes I agree with a previous response, time for a 'ring' as you apear to have something very special.
Best regards
Not seeing each other side by side all th time I think is a plus. Good looking pair! Happy trails., Cheers!
That’s a beautiful relationship you’ve got! Nice!
Thanks Tristan, great to understand your lifestyle. What a lovely couple
Thank you Tristan for another great video. I have enjoyed watching these videos and learning about yachts.
Thanks Chris
My now ex-wide and I used to work closely together at a resort...I was a sauteed chef, she was a hostess, we made it work for 10 years, and it was fantastic.. until she changed careers and we lost that closeness, and then she found someone who had the same schedule...And now we're history...It's all good !!
Great video - thanks for answering my (and others) questions about life on AWOL
Thank you for watching :))))
Good video mate, nice to see just a normal couple making a living on super yachts
Not having a good day today, my boat is still out of the water. Being a English man you can appreciate a bank holiday weekend with weather in the 30s ,I should be taking advantage of it
But your video has cheered me up 👍
Handsome couple! Thank you for the tour. CHEERS!⚓
Thank you very much. :)))
Great video. Always interesting to see how the real living conditions are. Great that you guys can get along so well together in a confined space like that. I’d be interested in seeing a video about how many different uniforms you have and when you wear each uniform?
E.g. the black one is for the evening/night. Tristan mentioned that once in his previous vlogs.
Not sure about the others. But expect, that during heavy work they will have special clothes. Or are wearing the white shirts,..
An excellent and informative blog, absolutely wonderful.
Thank you Tristram and Trivenator (hope that’s correct) but I am not confident at all 🥴
Many thanks John. Its Givernator & Tristan but I think I prefer your way ;)))
What a fantastic couple thank you for the insight to your private life of living onboard. I also thought a ring was in the offering lol. I started watching as a boater myself it’s only a 7mtr Rib these days and not a 43 ketch that I used to own. it would be great to see you keep the videos up no matter what boat you guys are on. 👍👍
I've always wondered about how good of an investment it would be for me to buy my own yacht and captain it myself and take charters.
As Captain I would assume you have a pretty good idea of what kind of profits the yacte brings in considering the insurance, cost of crew, upkeep etc compared to the charter income.
I'd be interested to know what the owners end up with over the life of the yacht.

It truly is A Way Of Life. If I was a yacht owner, I'd be tempted to have 2 of each crew, 2 captains, engineers and so on. So crew can have family time.
Captain to chief officer: you want the captains cabin?
Chief officer suspiciously: ummmmm..... yes?

Congratulations on the another fantastic video you keep pulling them out of the bag, enjoyed seeing you both on it, you will soon have 60K subscriber's . Thanks for the insite on how you both spend your time and it's obvious how much you are in love with her put a ring on her finger soon . Cheers Ty .
😇🙏👍
Thanks for sharing a little bit of your private life. You seem to be a great couple and very much in love.
Thanks kids for showing how your relationship works and you are able to love one another too!
Hey

Regards Mathias
Thanks for the support Mathias
Beautiful young lady. I was a photographer on cruise ships. I met my wife who was a hairdresser. We recently had our 38th anniversary, and been together 41 years
Love the couples video. It’s about time. Pleas mic Giverny as she is so soft spoken it’s hard to hear. Great vid!
