You are awesome. I've learned so much about these yachts. Long story short, I live in Abilene, Texas. I'm almost 66 and live way below the poverty level. I make it work! That being said, during this lockdown, it's just me and my dog. No visitors. No hugs. No human contact. What got me through is shopping for a yacht on TH-cam. Now I know I can't buy one but my dreams can't be taken away. You, esysman and others gave me something to focus on. Thank you for all your hard work. Thank you for helping keep this grandmother sane!
Tristan, without a doubt, your channel is by far the best and most informative. You take the time necessary to clearly explain all the areas anyone would be interested in. The idea of sailing a multi-million dollar motor yacht around the world is so fascinating. I have learned so much about the necessity of making sure everything is squared away. I've been a pilot for 40 years and being thorough concerning your craft and mine and keeping both engines and the avionics in tip top shape makes sure we both get back to our family every night. At 75 years old I'm glad I took the time to attend to all items concerning each flight but you too have the same responsibility as well. Congratulations, my friend. Dave in Phoenix, Arizona USA.
Im sitting in my room right now late at night alone dreaming of owning a nice 70footer anchored away from this world in utter peace! I wish my dream was more attainable! I play tatslotto you never no!!
Also, I love seeing the engine room and how clean & shiney it is. You commented that all is looking good. I'd say that all is looking Exceeds Exceptional. I would feel safe eating off any of those surfaces, lol.
Agreed, it's really nice. Pretty much one of a kind content, since pretty much no owners would allow it. So we have to keep thanking the awesome owner too. :)
😂😂😂 'At scholl they used to say to me I would never be paid for looking out the window - Look who's laughing now!' I sincerely hope your teachers have seen this video 😉 You have done EVERYTHING right me lad, carry on!
"No one's going to pay you to look out a window." Laughed so loudly at this that I woke up the cat sleeping on my bed. I do have a question about the previous video, though. The difference in RPMs between engines? Is that a common occurance?
I'm a newcomer and I find this all very interesting. The yacht looks immaculate and I have a great deal of respect for what it is that you do. In past videos you've asked that we vote AWOL as Charter of the Year, which I have to say yet again, how very impressed I am with your yacht. I'm happy to help you out, but honestly I have reservations about the Charter of the Year criteria for choosing winners. If people like me can make a difference I don't see how that sets your vessel apart from others, in the long run.
Our skipper/crew will do the same as you have shown Tristan. Most interesting and educational for me and will know what to look for when we have the 100 delivered.
Great tour around the ship whilst it's at sea and a very interesting insight of a captains job/checklist, details around anchoring, alarms, etc. Would be good to see your daily schedule if you haven't done one already. What age is too late to become a super yacht captain, I'm sure all of us are thinking this never came to mind when picking my GCSE's. Lol.
Thanks for that wee tour. I’m interested in charter yacht work, and as an aircraft engineer I’d be looking in the engineering field so your engine room tour was really informative as to what kind of systems your boat has.
Just got back from a Med cruise on NCL. I’d give anything to cruise on a super yacht. Would be so much more fun to not be held to a corporate schedule. Especially with Tristan and his crew. 🎉
I loved your tour, thanks very interesting! I envy you your job, looks very interesting to me. Missed everything you said on the engine room tour, too bad, that's always my favorite place
Great video. Suggest a night cam or headlight for filming the darker areas of the boat. Perhaps a mic near your mouth would pick up your voice better in the engine room or windy areas of filming. And, just in case, I think and feel that your videos are absolutely wonderful!
I don't intend to be mean or snarky, but I expected a walk-through of the boat's galley too -- I mean everything was logical and perfectly drawn out for rounds starting stern, then up / down, then forward checks, bridge checks, engine control and room checks, and back up...but it seems important to walk through the galley, too. I don't own yachts, but have owned land yachts called motor coaches (40-45') and in 2012 a coach caught on fire at night in a service bay at Camper Corral in Madison, MS -- investigators found the cause was the residential refrigerator and an electrical short. It burned the entire place down. Because I was only 3 miles away in my own coach, I was very curious as to the fire and was told it is not uncommon for that to happen where residential units in motor coaches catch fire. That was an eye-brow raise moment! Now that was 6 years ago...so I would assume all that stuff's been straightened out by manufacturer's by now...but it did happen, Google searches will back me up...I'm not here typing to fib or tell stories, when I'm at home I NEVER think about my appliances as hazards in any way...but in my motor home I'm very wary of every single thing as a possible problem, even my washer/dryer. Okay, I've got chatty fingers tonight typing a lot...sorry. Just saying, in the walk-through rounds, it may be best to also include the galley and the crew mess before starting the route all over again...basically, check anyplace where appliances operate.
Good luck on the rest of the charter, your guests should have a marvelous time despite the weather (coming from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, I never let rain ruin a vacation).
My dad just sold his princess 75v which he used to charter and was docked at St Tropez. Has a custom one which we use as a private one until we get our new custom one is being made over 50 meters so it should be quite nice. Have to wait over 3 to 5 years though.
Excellent video! Suggestion: in coming vids, where in the engine room, it might be good to have subtitles while near running engines. I would have loved to hear all that you were saying around the generator but couldn't hear a thing.
@@SuperYachtCaptain Usually you can change in the settings from 50 to 60 hz (and back). When configured correctly, the shutter speed syncs with the AC speed of the lights. When incorrect, you get this 10 Hz flickering in the videos. But: tis works only if the lights are very exactly on 50 (or 60) Hz. I do not know how precise the frequency is maintained in those small generators (small as compared with an on shore power plant :-) ); you will have to test. A flicker of 1-2 Hz will be even worse...
@@JohnnyMotel99 well he can use flicker-free video (googleit) and it yes Hero 5 and Hero 6 and 7 go pro let you do it. So its a Euro boat. So at 30 fps, he is looking at a speed of 1/100, 1/50, 1/33.3 sec to get rid of it. at 48 fps he is looking at 1/100, 1/50 sec . Also he needs to change his iso at night and day to make it look better.
so when ur speaking of destinations paper charts are at least in my opinion would help paint the picture of what ur talking about, having said i really enjoy your content i am a land luber that loves boats and yachts. thank u and ur crew for ur time happy mothers day to ur family
In a previous episode, you mentioned some safety device that sounded an alarm if there was not movement in the wheelhouse after a fixed period of time. How long is that because you did your safety tour of the boat and it didn't trip the alarm. Thanks for a great Vlog. Alan
Two questions. How much does it cost to run a vessel like that on an annual basis? I mean everything including crew wages etc. Second question. Sea water converted to drinking water. Does it have a different taste to normal water once filtered?
Good work captain, I just did France from top to bottom. I didn't lime Monaco other then the harbor (concrete jungle in town) other then that good stuff..
Tristan , thought it was against heath and safety to work alone at night ,what i"m getting at is who"s going to save you if you fall over board ,everyone"s a sleep
To the Captain, is piracy a problem and about vessel security issues. I was a second on a corp.yacht, with time also Military Sea Lift and Bulk Carriers on Great lakes. Curious about how there matters are addressed. On the Corp.Yacht we only flew American Flag. And smaller Company Ensign. And we were armed.
@Katie Rae I was hit by pirate's during a yacht delivery in the panama canal from North Carolina to Catalina Island,April 88.We were ready.And better shots. We got a nice bonus.
How do you get enough sound insulation to the quest are not bothered by the noise of the generator running all night long? It just seems so noisy. Keep up the great videos.
I am truly surprised after watching your video on the five things that you hate about your job I was very surprised to hear that you being the captain that you did not have your own cabin or your own quarters that was a large surprise to me that you had to Bunk with the rest of the crew in cramp crew quarters every superyacht mega yacht or whatever you might want to call it the captain is always had his own cabin so this came as quite a surprise to me however I'm sure that after being with the owner of this Yacht for so many years you have probably got a few perks so I'm sure that you like the job more than you dislike it anyway I hope that everything goes your way God bless you continued success in your endeavors.
I think it is the Sunseeker 131 that has a fantastic captain's quarter's. That yacht, the Wider 165, and almost any explorer yacht are my absolute favorites
Great Video Tristan :) I'm looking forward to following your Charter season. Just out of interest how many crew do you have on board excluding yourself to run this yacht? Cheers and happy sailing.

Tristan, hats off to you and the ship's owner for allowing the world to see such a fine vessel at work; thank you. Bravo!
12:56 Green light, thats running well. Quickly cover red light on right hand side up with pipe so nobody notices lol
Wow! Could barely hear a thing in the engine room. Those decks have incredible noise isolation.
I can't imagine anything more calming than being on a yacht at night...
Im sitting in my room right now late at night alone dreaming of owning a nice 70footer anchored away from this world in utter peace! I wish my dream was more attainable! I play tatslotto you never no!!
@@baddazzgarage2953 keep the dream alive my friend..soon ..soon
@@robolinoschmidt8676 thankyou Robolino! If i win its people like you id take on trips! I hope all your dreams come true to! ⚓🛥

Very well done Tristan... You provide so much information that's so interesting to me as well as other. Great job and have a wonderful charter season.
Agreed, it's really nice. Pretty much one of a kind content, since pretty much no owners would allow it. So we have to keep thanking the awesome owner too. :)
Thanks for taking us along for the ride man it's a lot of fun probably as close to a superyacht is all I ever get thank you
Great video :-) "Look who is laughing now!" LOL.
yeh, I did laugh at that 😀
This video was awesome! I love these “behind the sceens showing the screens” videos.
Great insight into your watch duties and technological capabilities. Thanks for the night tour!
Great videos mate. Subtitles would be good when in the engine room.
Great video. the engine room and controls are top-notch. thank you
Really interesting! I had NO idea how complex these ships really are.
Your engine room looks like an operating theatre . Amazing
😂😂😂 'At scholl they used to say to me I would never be paid for looking out the window - Look who's laughing now!'
I sincerely hope your teachers have seen this video 😉 You have done EVERYTHING right me lad, carry on!
This was so interesting. You have an amazing job.
Cool seen a lot of video's finally see where the spiral stairs fit into the picture :)
I'm sure you heard you weren't heard mostly in the engine room....if we read lips it was fabulous......it was still a great shot to day and life.....
"No one's going to pay you to look out a window."
Laughed so loudly at this that I woke up the cat sleeping on my bed.
I do have a question about the previous video, though. The difference in RPMs between engines? Is that a common occurance?
Im a navigator on a cruise ship, awkwardly enough I make the same joke to the passengers..
And probably paid more than the person whom said that to him 🤦🏻♂️🤣😁👍👍👍
With the rpms with twin engines,one prop spins the other way I believe the difference in rpms is to counter the other prop
Stephanie Gough The different RPM’s May have been to counter ocean currents or winds.
So did I
3 a.m. and watching the vlog...
Wish you all a safe journey

love these videos!! please keep them up Capt!
Tristan, I'm not a cruiser, but if I ever decided to take that route, you and your crew would be my first choice.

great tour of the vessel, thanks
So many informations and a good look of what captain’s work looks like.👏🙂 you have a new subscriber
Love your videos.Great job,keep filming!
Very detailed tour of the checks. Another great video!
Great video.
Thanks very informative ... You are like a swan very slow & graceful on Top Hiding the pressure below decks .
slightly better with the earmuffs on lol. love the videos. it looks incredible
Wow !....Just WOW !!
Even at night you see the quality of the paint job.
Lots of work at night... Interesting!
I loved your tour, thanks very interesting! I envy you your job, looks very interesting to me.
Missed everything you said on the engine room tour, too bad, that's always my favorite place
Thank You Captain!
Great video, so glad i started watching...
Look at that single phase AC power running through the lights and computer screens. :)
best places , nice video thanks Super
Wooow great video big up Tristy
Super cool, thanks for that video!!
Jup.
Enjoyed this behind the scenes look hugely.
Great video. Suggest a night cam or headlight for filming the darker areas of the boat. Perhaps a mic near your mouth would pick up your voice better in the engine room or windy areas of filming. And, just in case, I think and feel that your videos are absolutely wonderful!
Very imformative
Bravo

Cant wait for the docking videos.
Numero Uno , looking forward to watching the Monaco docking procedure
Good luck on the rest of the charter, your guests should have a marvelous time despite the weather (coming from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, I never let rain ruin a vacation).
I want to see you do a video with your captain's hat on.🙂
Cheers Tristan

Cool. Couldn't understand you with the doors opened to the generators.
I couldn't make out his voice either with a generator doors open. Subtitles would be nice or maybe a voice over while in a quiet room.
would love to see cap farret/villafranche in day, great vids.
In a previous episode, you mentioned some safety device that sounded an alarm if there was not movement in the wheelhouse after a fixed period of time. How long is that because you did your safety tour of the boat and it didn't trip the alarm.

Well, in the engine room you definitely look better with the earmuffs, setting a good example.
You look like Princess Leah with those 🎧 😆🤣😂😅
need subtitles next time you're in the engine room :)
Dam clean Engine room
9:30 I'd love to know more about all the instruments and actual navigation in such a vessel!
11:30 - 12:30: say what? ^^
1am on a super yacht and everyone’s sleeping?? If I had enough $ to charter one I don’t think I would be able to sleep. 😂
Good to see what the night operations are on board. Did you ever do the video of you bunkering the fuel?
I would love to have a detailled tour of the electronics on the bridge.
lol everything you said as soon as you opened the engine cover was muffled,but strangely i understood every word
No ones every going to pay you for looking at a window .......Brilliant :)
No on the ear muffs. Yes on the glasses.
Two questions. How much does it cost to run a vessel like that on an annual basis? I mean everything including crew wages etc. Second question. Sea water converted to drinking water. Does it have a different taste to normal water once filtered?
Good work captain, I just did France from top to bottom. I didn't lime Monaco other then the harbor (concrete jungle in town) other then that good stuff..
Love the vids. It would be neat to learn how you communiucate, watch tv , internet in the middle of the ocean.
Tristan , thought it was against heath and safety to work alone at night ,what i"m getting at is who"s going to save you if you fall over board ,everyone"s a sleep
It's weird to actually see you at the helm! lol
Titanic's Captain: They don't pay me to look out windows. 0_o
Could you make a video giving recommendations of how other people can become captains similar to you I’m sure that would be a good video to do

@Katie RaeRodger that. Piracy is going to get way worse in the next 5 years.
How do you get enough sound insulation to the quest are not bothered by the noise of the generator running all night long? It just seems so noisy. Keep up the great videos.
The microphone WILL work in a noisy environment IF you shield it and speak closely, so you can try that again next time you are bored on night-watch.

Do you allow guests on the bridge while underway?
There is that box in the garage he said they were going to get rid of it before they started the charter season. He said boxes breed bugs.
Ahoj Captain's :)
Captain nice glasses . They look nice on you . What brand & model are they please ? Thank You for the tour .
