- Mega Transports: Superyachts | Engineering Documentary
A shuttle service for luxury yachts - across the Atlantic with the “Yacht Express”.
Transporting a ship by a ship - this becomes necessary when the super-rich want to have their super yacht available at a vacation paradise at the other end of the world, but under no circumstances want to sail it there themselves. That's when specialized companies like Sevenstar Yacht Transport come into play who take yachts across the oceans to the still so smallest islands on huge transport ships, or as a mass delivery to the Côte d'Azur. Always under the watchful eye of the owner, the luxury liners have to be handled with velved gloves, using mechanics, divers and logistics specialists attached so that they survive the trip without scratches.
This Episode of MEGA TRANSPORTS shows the Atlantic crossing of 10 highly valuable luxury yachts on a special transport ship: The Yacht Express. The cargo on the mega transporter is worth 188 million dollars in total!
Before it can begin its journey, the superyachts have to be loaded safely - by “Float on - float off” technique: the semi-submersible yacht carrier allowes the yachts to float on the submerged deck, before special divers can place special cradle systems under water, to stabilize and secure the mega yachts. They have to work with the utmost precision - and under extreme time pressure. The route from Port Everglades, Florida over the straits of Gibraltar to Genua, Italy also has many hurdles in store for the mega transport. The captain has to monitor wind, weather and waves on the route carefully, to make sure the luxury yachts arrive safely at their destination.

I was a ship agent and stevedore for them in port Everglades. Wonderfull company and professional people. I even got to unload the stars and stripes by crane as the ship could not sink deep enough. Denise conners was their all on my back. I told him if I dropped his boat I would never get into the San Diego yacht club. Wesley Clifton was my operator and did a great job. I was on board when the captain changed and he brought with him fresh hearing it was delicious and felt like a seal eating it. I thank United yacht express for believing in me and letting me represent them.
Please hire my son as crew member 💖😍🤩 I just can't stop him he Luvs da kind of journey in life thank u and bless
Every one💫💞🙏🏾
These men the captain of the ship ,the chief engineer,henry evans and others who dive deserve a huge salary and honorarium,benefits ......they have a job well done....
with 1,200 liters of fuel per hour the ship spends, imagine the amount paid for each yacht.
@@mariosamper8186 with a speed of 15knots you travel 667km/day, the distance from port to port is about 8.000km considering the ship is not traveling in a straight path you would travel lets say about 12000km (probably less than that) which will take you 18days
considering constant 1.2 tone / hour fuel consumption you would spent about 520tones of fuel which will probably cost you less than 500k$
this means each customer would have to pay an avg of 50k$ for the fuel (depending on the size of the yacht of course) which is cheap considering the big one is rented for 300k$ per week. You can afford moving your yacht for a single customer to rent. Ofc the cost is even higher cause there is not only the fuel to pay for.
The fuel is likely a very small percentage of what is paid.
@@billwhoever2830 mmm no
@@mariosamper8186 he said 200k each. But I can't imagine how much the divers company owner is making!
That has to be back breaking work to lift those square channel hull supports to stabilize the yachts- especially 10 divers and 16 yachts- both sides !!! Good job dive crew !!!
Thanks!
As a totally ignorant person these mega yachts always raised the question in me “seriously, how do they cross big angry oceans” Thank you ...... so much explained.
They generally cross the southern Atlantic where it’s not as rough, I’ve watched a few TH-cam videos made by people who work on these big yachts and they filmed crossing the Atlantic.
Most of these yatchs can easily cross on their own, but it puts a lot of wear on the engines.
It can be crossed. those other owners are just lazy or scared of doing it .
and its probably cheaper to use services like,the yacht express.
As already noted, its just easier on the boat and the crew to ship on a transport. You are saving fuel costs, crew costs, engine wear and tear (not on sailboats obviously), plus maybe saving on insurance costs... So a transport could be a break even proposition to a yacht owner. But clearly any of these yachts could do the passage on their own bottom, if they wanted to.
"A ship that ships, ships" brilliant
Rumor as it there building a ship that ship ships that ship ships.
@@beeragonewhere2819 so...a double cruiser for yachts?
@Andre Ros BRILLIANT!!!
A ship that ships ships, holy shipssss

Yeah, im extremely proud of it, Filipinos are well known for the excellence in HOSPITALITY field.... Filipinos can work slowly but sure quality outputs... Filipinos can even smile even in the midst of sorrows
The only thing better than a Filipino is a Filipina... :) Yes, my Filipina girlfriend approves of this message. :p
I am proud to hear that some of the member of the crew in this largest mega cargo transport is filipino... Go philippines ofw life
47:29 - thank god. i can sleep soundly at night knowing this
very important to know that the super rich can still have fun while the rest of the world deals with abject poverty. whoop whoop!
The wonders of unfettered capitalism
@@AlltakenblaAnd is it their fault?
@@herbertnatanael objectively, yes.
I worked once for welding the yachts supports on those big ships in 1999 in Toulon France, that was a very impressive experience.
Dutch, Russian, Filipinos crew as usual.
Mostly russian employees to?
Do they really weld and cut welding for each loading? Why are there not rows of rails with series of holes to fix the supports?
@@rif42 cheap, positioning on demand, strong, rustless, .....
The Dutch are thrown out a while ago. 😢.
@@bas6983 Why? How do you mean? Ben ook Nederlands trouwens
happy to heard that there are Filipino Seaman who was there! God bless you all SIR!
To heard??, anyways it's English not Tagalog 😂😂
That’s cool and all but are they getting their fair share?
@@demitrahawkins5457 does it matter? as long as it's understandable
If it sinks, each crewmember gets their own luxury lifeboat
I doubt
@@Lauramv1 why doubt? It's a fact.
@@tomthecat268 it’s not really a fact because the people who bought the yachts will really want it. (The yacht)
😀 negative people
@@Lauramv1 pretty certain it was a joke
Thanks to FREE DOCUMENTARY for bringing such incredible episodes for us..😍
Thanks for this. The owner of company I work for has a Princess 95 yacht - in summer it is in Miami, winter he transports it to Singapore or Phuket. In spring/fall, it is berthed in the Mediterranean. His family travels by private charter to all these destinations. They do not want the hours on the yacht and risk deep ocean crossings.
Great documentary. Impressive how they get all the yachts lined up and secured, without any of them wanting to tip over. Difficult job to the divers working in low visiable water
Flat Out Neat... Thanks Much
Nice to see such passionate people doing their work very well
30 years is not the limit for a professional diver..im 61 and been doing for 40 years and still going strong,
I love the father/Son bond. That his son just wants his father to know that the company that he father created many year ago is in good hands. Wants his father to retire and enjoy life. That's what any child wants for there parents.
I know his parents. Proud to call them my friends. You've never met a more generous and loving couple.
So glad that rich people can get their luxury yacht on time. I would not want them to waste their valuable time.
jealous?
Thank you for sharing this information. I now learn something new about the affective of the passing cargo ship 🚢 near by other objects that flows in the water. Watching from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Shipping yachts worth over 30 million you should have weight sensors scales under all supports. The smartest thing I did was to buy scales that were connected to all points of my trailer that told me tongue and axle weights at all times. Automatic hydronic roller stands could be made so that divers didn't have to be fitting stands for the hulls. That way no stress would be placed as long as you could control the water intake and evacuation by instruments. It would make loading fast.
Oooh maan Bowie was in the water for 10 hours nonstop woooow good job well done team.
AWOL made a video crossing to Florida from the " passenger" perspective. nice to see the operation from the ships perspective. there is so much that goes into offloading and so much more loading.
Captain Tristan did a great job of video documenting that crossing for both his ship(AWOL) plus the transport ship as well. Very much worth checking out on youtube.
Yakht express captain is doing a very special job as does the whole crew members ,fascinating job no easier than carrying containers 👍
Very well put together documentary, and the narration was easy to listen to. Cheers Australia
Great doc with super shots... very good job! I really enjoy watching!
Greetings from Gisborne, New Zealand 🇳🇿. Love your videos. They are very well presented, especially in 4K. How lucky you are to see the lake ships coming into your city. We live in a port city as well, but we only have logging ,container boats, and naval vessels, up to a maximum LOA of 200 meters. Thank you again, and I wish 9:54 you a prosperous new year. 🎉🎉
Never seen a ship like this before, what a fantastic vessel, brilliant job everyone, to everyone involved in the making of this video thank you, that was so interesting, i was hooked all the way through, thanks for sharing,👍
Thank you for your kind words!
First time coming across this channel, wow that's brilliant stuff, hearts off to all those who make this video possible, and to the men making all those difficult jobs a success,this is amazing!!
what a fantastic ship and its operations..... really wonderful.
Wow filipino seaman on that yacth express...MABUHAY KABAYAN!!
Filipino person entered the chat XD HI FROM THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
Narator: "1 liter of water excess will be disastrous and could be the end of the world". So dramatic. Im sure the captain and crews are so relax and been doing these for several times now.
Also this job is insured if not over insured, so riches sleep like a babies because they have 0 risk for their boats.
@@O13x11ahhhhhh the insurance of cores who doesn't. Even the movers who move your apartment in to another apartment have insurance, if they scratch your TV you get a new one, that sort of thing.
Thanks for posting this. Never knew the amount of work involved transporting my luxury yacht across the Atlantic. I won't complain as much next time.
Hi✋
Hi there 😊😀😀😀👋😊
you wish, lol.
Yeah what about your Carbon footprint dude?
I had served on a similar ship. Actually it was a war/landship of Hellenic (Greek) Navy Forces, that carried on it, small marine vessels. "Δ/Π ΝΑΥΚΡΑΤΟΥΣΑ, L-153" (ex SS-MAIDAN)
“The divers are soaked”……..I would have never guessed.
Plus add to that the difficulty of swimming in circles from missing a fin.
I caught that too. 🤦♂️
Who wouldve thought 😂😂
A Somalian pirates dream
Hhhh but true
Fortunately not a lot of Somali pirates going from Ft Lauderdale to Genoa
big boi michelle jackson Do u even know where somalia is??
A somalian pirate`s dream would be food for his village, money to pay for protection and not risking his and his friends life to make sure their families eat and have to use guns to protect themselves from rivals.
stupid
In the late 1960s, my supervisor's son had a sailing ship captain's license at 21. This kid had been sailing all his life practically. He would deliver your sailing yacht or pick your new yacht up and do a shakedown cruise for it. His Dad told me that this kid sent him money. The rest of his highly educated kids with snobbery jobs (note to siblings: Dad is not too impressed with your MBA and fancy job title) were always borrowing money.
But anyway, a very interesting video.
I want what Bowie’s on! So relaxed and positive
I think Aleksandrs Price, the Rider and Henry Evans, the Loading Master are related by blood... They're both handsome! Regards to all the Filipino crews on board.
Their so rich they can take a flight and deliver their own yachts
and once there they're theirs no stopping them !
Y cuál es el problema? Mientras no sean políticos, que disfruten su dinero.
Bet they can even use "they`re" correctly..
@@afrog2666 Hahhahhahahhahhah
lo
I'm very proud of the best technology development and pop in for the world
I would say being on a boat like that you have your pick of the luxury lifeboats if needed.
loading the cargo and palce the metzl support, was tense, great work guys.
nice documentary
Documentary makers can't live without drama I guess 😋
But then it isn't a documentary, it's (mindless) entertainment.
250 K is cheap compared to what it would cost to take the yacht across the Atlantic, they will easily use 250 K liters of fuel on that on the crossing, and the owner has to pay for the crew on top of that. Not to mention, that is they hit rough weather, things, expensive things may like interior for millions of dollars may break underway and also the engines will be able to boast 500+ hours of additional engine hours, that's a lot of money too. You said these Yachts total to millions of dollars, that must be the understatement of the century, that yacht freighter can easily transport several billion dollars worth of super and mega yachts. Oh and the Sky Fall mega yacht you mentioned, its 300 K dollars plus expenses to charter pr. week. PS oops, I should have watched on and not checked it for myself, you are spot on on that one.
A yacht the size of Skyfall would use a lot less than 250,000 litres to cross the Atlantic. That's nearly 2000 litres per day for a 14 day passage!
Super yachts routinely cross oceans.
Shout out to all Filipino crew 😍
This was very interesting, thank you.
Now that is focus I like how the captain does not want to be disturbed during that time
Excellent Documentary very insightful ❤
So much skill and knowledge to do this task 👏👏
That was just a superb documentary even though it was just one big advertisement.
I am pretty sure Captain Andre is an Alien !
🤣🤣🤣 I was thinking the same
Good to know that filipinos work here a huge & expensive work... good salary awaits... good job guys
Most ships have Filipino Crew.
@@TeamPhilippines No, usually the ships with filipino crew has almost 100% filipino, and others will sail 3-6 months with filipino crew, then 3-6 with russian/polish crew, for example. This has many practical advantages, for example flying the crews in or out, and not having any language barrier. Source: I have done consultant work for a major tanker line.
hi congratulations to all of crew ship and captains,, godbless u all and godstrengh to all crews
This is so sick!
Why do they always narrate these videos, as if everything are life threatening dangerous ?
This is these peoples daily job.
And YES, things can happen, but it don't, every fckn time.
Don't they know how to make a common documentary ? Have they all worked in the horror movie buisniss ?
Haven't we all had a few co-workers going around with a pocket nuke, wild lions comes running, wood spontaneous explode, whole team get's dementia and lego bricks is covering the floor on work? I want a narrator when I'm at work sounding like I might start the computer, I might start the nuke I, for some reason, have just next to it.
Yes I always wonder that too. I think it is almost disrespectful to make everything sound very dangerous. Most dangerous things are relatively safe because people who do them (and desing technology etc.) are competent and skilled. They make it sound like every ship is constantly in grave danger. It would be horrible if that would be the reality. There are obviously lots of potential dangers but when people know what they are doing the risk for the accident is low. But these document-makers would make a librarians work to sound like they are operating extremely unstable Russian designed nuclear reactor made in China in an Indian toilet (nothing against librarians; not all jobs need to be dangerous :D).
But if you don't others want to know that so why not?
@@Zomeone Complaint is not about the narration but the style. I want to know but I don't like if something that is not dangerous in reality (when people know what they are doing) is narrated like it is.
😂😂
Captain Andrey is intense!!
Men managing the physics. ...in a WOW way!
Cool episode!
Amazing documentary I'd love to work on this mega ship
@47:30 "thanks to this mega transporter, luxury yachts are available to the super-rich in every corner of the seven seas whenever they want".....because without this mega transporter the mega rich will surely suffer??
in every ship that travels around the world for sure there will be 1 or more Filipino crew..
So?
Nope sailed and still do at vessels without any filipino.
@@bas6983 are the Filipino's aware that such a ship exists... LOL.
@@mpeugeot 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw this ship in St Lucia. Was awesome!
The Russian guy is so Яussian )))
Da!

Electric job can possibly company please give me job please give me job I have password I have short period I have sir
good documentary film 👍🏼
At least if it sinks they have plenty of escape options 👍
Beautiful video
Thank you
I don't think most people realize that a lot yachts, especially those made of GRP, can't get across the Atlantic on their own. They don't have the fuel range, the provisioning capability or the crew necessary to do it. So these yachts get transported across with either a captain or some crew aboard. They carry out repairs or other jobs. Other yachts, the owners don't want the hours on the engines and generators. Once the yachts get where they are going, the captains have to pilot the yachts out, and the crews of those yachts meet the yachts there on the other side. They get paid for it too.
Logic.
Oh no they have the range capability to do the crossing
Everyone of these yachts can go across the Atlantic on its own easily, except maybe that really small one. However, fuel and a full crew costs make it more expensive than 250k and they get to maintain the yachts on dry dock.
They have a nordhaven crossing that goes from FLA to Bermuda to the azores then to Europe. The smallest was a 40’
Nonsense. Of course grp boats can cross the Atlantic. I've done it myself.
Keep to what you know.
great!
I can see Tom Hanks playing the Loading Master character.
Cheers to that !
Very good job. Thanks for sharing.
Gosh! never imagined a Ship is built to carry the Ships !!
A ship that ships ships...love it!😂😂
Watching from the PH🇵🇭
Great documentary.
"a backstory before he became a hitman"
Or maybe this is his disguise for next rich people mission 😂
i was also thinking the same 😁
Süper video thank you so much
Now I know how those yachts is delivered and travelled for thousands of miles from it's home origin.Please do your next video about transporting cars.Especially supercars as I'm wondered how the world's most expensive cars like Lamborghini and Ferraris are distributed to each of its showroom all over the world
Handy Wijaya umm planes!!!
Great video guys!!!!
Very fascinating to watch. Thanks a lot !
Salute to the filipino crew member
Finally a ship that you would not care if it wrecks!
Why turn an interesting documentary to a freaking thriller??? I simply don't get it. Sound tracks at every step of the documentary give me chills. And literally everything is dangerous.

Wowww this is soooooo fascinating I'm in awe
I liked the information.
01:20 AGENT 47!!!
Loadmaster kool cat. Good looking out as much as you can.
Really interesting doco and i am more interested in clients as a large % of people and crews i have meet over the years spend more time traveling than actually with the owner being on the boat.
Although i must say there are some crazy super yachts out there with systems close or as good as military grade :)
🎉ayos ang ganda ng paka plano pasalamatan natin ang Dyos na espiritu Amin amin amin
37:54 im happy to hear that filipino is on list😂😂😂 so proud that they are among to the crews
Excellent very good by Afzal bajwa motivational speaker u tube channel and love for all from Pakistan and good wishes for you reader and listeners
Salute Captain and his members for the good job they have done💪🤘...🇳🇦🇳🇦
Amazing guut 💪🙏🙏🙏👍❤❤❤❤
This is not a particularly big Float-on/ Float-off ship. It is pretty fast for its stype. The design is based on the Dock Express ships
