- We go through the Chief engineers, pre departure checks onboard a super yacht.
Tristan Mortlock is an award winning Super Yacht Captain with over 15 years experience. He started his yachting career in his teens and now runs one of the most successful charter yachts in the world. Tristan is currently serving on Motor Yacht AWOL, a San Lorenzo SD122, built in 2009. AWOL is a multi award winning yacht and her crew take a lot of pride in their work.
Captain's Vlog is about educating interested parties on what happens onboard a Mega Yacht, Super Yacht and the yachting industry. To share the life of yacht crew and life at sea. The BIG shipyard refits, paint jobs and marine engineering works. To travel some of the worlds most beautiful destinations.
The first owner of the Super Yacht AWOL was non other than Mr Piero Ferrari himself. The wheel house still contains the original Captain's chair with the Ferrari emblem.

The engine room is spotless. You ca neat your food of that floor or those engines. A man who is obviously proud of his profession.
The engine rooms on these boats are insane. So clean and neat.
As a former freighter and tugboat engineer for nearly 30 years, I thought I had it together. But the level of detail you maintain in your engine room would put even an operating room to shame. From all I've seen of you on Tristen's youtube, you are one of the best Maritime Engineers in the business - and there isn't even any lint on your oil rag.
Hearing the "transfer switches" in action. Shore power to OB generator! Super!
This is what I prefer. Videos about the day to day ops, from the bridge to the engine room to the dining room, etc. I want to hear the radio comms, your interaction with the crew while you’re at sea, etc. I especially like the docking and setting sail segments where we see how it’s done, conversations and all, from beginning to end, real time! Thanks!!
Thank you Slaven and Captain Mortlock for another brilliant video. Although it's nice to see the fluffy and comfortable areas where passengers hang out, I love the behind the scenes showing what goes on in different areas. Now I know it's not about pulling the shore plug, letting of the hand brake and putting your foot down. Keep up the fantastic videos!
He's awesome reminds me of Boris with that accent! The sign of a great engineer is that engine room....you can eat off the floor, comb your hair in the chrome and use the oil as perfume! Even his rags he uses to check oil, look like they would smell like roses!
I cruised a 42' ketch for a dozen years, just maintaining a single diesel propulsion engine and genset along with watermaker, frig/freezer, etc, etc. I can see how having a full time engineer on a yacht like this is absolutely essential to maintain and run it all.
this was really facinating seeing the insight of what the engineer has to do on a pre-departure of your vessel. Thank you to Slav for allowing us into his world as enginner. Thank you capt :)
Would of loved to see main engines start up and bridge checks to see full start up procedures.
No wonder you have a full time Engineer. AWOL is obviously quite a complex boat. Would love to see a day in Barbara’s life on board sometime.
Fascinating. The first ship I was on I was a 16 year old cadet training on a coastal trader. Before starting the main engine (a big old thumper of a thing) someone had to pump up the oil pressure before the engine could be started. This was done by pumping a long lever back and forth which pumped up pressure and circulated oil through the engine before it could be started otherwise bearings could be dry of oil. The chief engineer told me to yell out when the pressure gauge showed minimum pressure. Half an hour later I am still pumping like crazy with the gauge moving but not much. My 16 year old skinny arms were burning but eventually I pumped enough for the engine to be started. The Chief Engineer thought my mad pumping was hilarious........apparently there was an easier way to do it but he liked to torture the new boys. Thankfully most of this voyage was spent on the bridge as apprentice co-navigator. Pencil and parallel ruler were kinder to my arms than that damn pump.
Slavin, is an excellent engineer! He makes everything seem simple, the real hallmark of an expert.
Fantastic. Slaven is a top guy and gives a great insight into below deck life :-)
It was amazing when you open the door how loud the generator was and then when you went inside and close the door how quiet it became totally amazing.
I'm enjoying this channel. The behind the scenes look is fresh and interesting. Captain TM just keeps pouring on the info and I keep watching.
I love engineering, the onboard systems, how they work, why the work... never enough back patting for us guys-lol especially when your sitting dead in the water and its up to YOU...to figure it out and determine a solution,,, love it
not even a light flicker when switching land pwr to gen pwr. Nice system
I am in absolute awe of how clean that engine room is.
Thank you Slaven and Captain Mortlock, Engineering is both knowledge and application.
