Different Tugs in different areas doing different things. In this episode, we spend the day with the good People at Cape Ann Towing and ride along with them as they bring a Mega Yacht in.
Going up the creek I realised how big the mega yacht business is. Then two tugs dancing like two fire fly’s round a flame. They knew exactly how far to go. The tugs both with brut power and the fineness of control. Totally different and still showing local knowledge and boat handling skills to its best. CUOTO Amacf
Thank you for watching the Drew. I have some unproduced content I shot last spring in Fort Lauderdale of a much bigger boat (Blue Sky) being towed by Cape Ann. I just haven't found the time to put it together. Stand by. CUOTO
Cape Anne might like the boom boats we have up here. Small, steel "tugs" used to push log booms together. Search YT for boom boat ballet and you can see them dancing, the only way to describe how the move when their given a direction change.
@@TimBatSea Their manoeuvrability would benefit Cape Anne Towing, being able to change direction that rapidly would help them shift a large yacht around, specially if something has gone bad in the tow.
It reminds me of when I was at the Hotel Coronado in San Diego years ago, looking out my room's window. The Navy was docking an aircraft carrier in much the same way as depicted here. But, as I recall, it took them 3-4 hours to do it.
lol don't mind me going back to a lot of your older videos. Now knowing what it's all about, I can now start to watch all of the things I have not viewed. and yes I can tell this was early tech video from back a year and more. I still think you really did a great job, even with out the new tech stuff your running in 2022. CUOTO 👍👍👍
Tim, this is awesome... I love watching you and your associates doing what you do. This one is especially fun... see, I built an RC tug that has towed me, my wife, and my daughter in our kayaks. A 35 lb, 3½ ft long tug pulling over 700 pounds. I have a video of it on my TH-cam channel, "Tugboat "Atlantic" taking the load". I kept ventilating my azipod props until I got it fixed, but so far I have measured just over 9lbs bollard pull. There's a lot more there, but I haven't had a chance to try again recently. Anyway... watching you and Cape Ann Towing maneuver this yacht is a lot of fun. Mainly because I am learning how to do the same thing with my 17ft, 300 lb kayak coming on and off the dock. I'm actually learning tricks on here of how to do it better myself!
Ah yes, The Missing Link. It nearly ran me aground on the ICW last summer as It passed under the Core Creek bridge in Beaufort, NC. Very discourteous captain.
LOL. Are you kidding? I am hoping to be drunk in a far off land with a very beautiful girl by my side that can't live with out me when I retire. LOL. Thank you for watching Chuck. CUOTO
Wow, this video "hit home"! Some day I will tell you the story of when I waited almost 7 hours for a tow one night while running a 100' Burger which went "dead" in the water off the battery. I lost all power, including the gennys, so a few panic-stricken pax called the marine police....what a mess...traumatic at the time; but really funny in retrospect!
It is always fun to watch/listen to a Captain, also appreciate another man's skills. You are truly watch something interesting. We see these whiteness pass under the Blue Water Bridge at Port Huron/ Sarnia Canada up bound for parts unknown 😀.
Wow, very different from your normal task. loved to see you and your friends! As for him... imagine, not only the pressure of the obscenely expensive yacht under tow, but also, making it look easy and perfect, and showing off for his friend (you)!
Another great video. I would like to see the tugs take the boat out. It seems like the rear tug should be facing forward and run with astern power. Going backwards makes me worry about the rear tug's fantail getting swamped.
Another grand day of tugging!😄 What I find most admirable in this profession is imagining you guys doing the same in the most adverse conditions- night, dense fog, chop, wind, and who knows what else I’m forgetting. It’s always enjoyable to watch a tradesman in top form executing finely honed skills. Thanks Tim B.
There's never any rush, as the schedule is more flexible than the bow. So just wait a spell til the conditions are right. The log entry for that is 'Wx' signifying Weatherbound
😂 Well thank you for agreeing with me... I think ...... 😂 Thank you for watching. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Awesome video Capt Tim. I sure appreciated how those two tugs finessed that large motor yacht into that narrow berth. Well done and very professional! Great teamwork too!
I always loved watching Gilligan’s Island, especially when they changed the theme song to include The Professor and Mary Ann, the instead of just saying, “and the rest”! Also, the first season was in black and white.
I tow pleasure vessels and yachts in WA state. Biggest I have towed is 51 feet. I don't have a 650 HP mini tug. Would be a luxury to have a stern tow to help keep control of "the landing"! It is said, a chimpanzee can fly a jetliner, but you need a pilot to land it. Towing is hours of boredom interspersed with moments of shear terror, usually around the landing. On this job they had a nice calm day. That yacht has a huge sail area. Then again, maybe they waited until it was calm. We schedule our tight jobs around tide changes, forecasted winds, and actual winds.
Haha... Leave it to a captain to go hang out on a boat with another captain when on vacation. :-D I have seen this taking place when down in Florida, so I found this very interesting to see how it works. That white boat is a pretty nice tub as well.... Don't scratch it!
José. I am so bummed. The girl I was going to see has had her daughter test positive for covid-19. So i will not be seeing her. Can you please cancel my reservation for me? We will do it after she gets out of quarantine. CUOTO
That was a blast! So neat to see the aft tug actually in forward gear, pulling against the load. Loved it when he dropped one line; you could “feel” the pivot! Thanks SO much, everyone! Fascinating to see that done without touching the wheel! You’ve inspired me to try playing my engines against each other to steer.
There's lots of "fun" to be had playing with twin screws. Once that gets old hat for you throw the rudder(s) in and you'll start "laughing" at tides, currents, and "parallel parking". THEN you can start all over again with a single screw when you're ready to downsize... Life IS good!
We have a 37 footer and without a bow thruster, that’s just how you dock. My husband is the captain, but I am learning this year as I am the first mate, lol.
You all are terrific professionals, we can all learn regardless of your profession when you watch someone who is really good at what they do. A suggestion - spend a day on a fireboat, preferably the newest one in FDNY
Another great video Tim. Good to see you spectating on a very different tug. All done single-handed andjust using the enginesand bot the wheel. Your friend is just so composed .....years of experience
Very interesting video Capt, I’m probably good for a substantial bit of finds for that yacht since I love his product (especially with beer) LOL. Please keep your productions coming and be safe and healthy.
I found you channel about 2 weeks ago. I'm 64 now and live in NY but you bring me back to my childhood when my father use to a captain for the the Red Stack Tugboat in California. And going out with him on the tug to pull out The Queen Elizabeth and other ships from port. Thank you Scott W.
I lived in Boca Raton for a couple of years and loved watching the activity in Port Everglades and Ft. Lauderdale. I really liked watching the activity that revolves around the super yacht industry. It was impressive watching all the tugs position the yachts for FLIBS, the boat show. Great video!
Tim, this is why I keep looking forward to your videos. You always find a way to change-it-up and keep things so interesting! What an example and display of seriously serious boat handling outside of your normal experience and expertise on the tugs. I’ve done some things here-and-there on the water but don’t even own a boat and yet here I am.... watching with absolute fascination!
Wow what an interesting video! I love watching this kinda close quarter maneuvering whether it's you doin it or something new like this. Thanks for keeping me entertained, Cap!
Oh wow! It's the actual Captain Chris! Welcome to the channel and a big big thank you for taking me along. As you can see in the comments, your incredible skills are being appreciated by the masses. Hope to see you on the 20th. CUOTO
Another excellent video from Capt. Tim!! As the old saying goes "Know what you know, Know what you DON'T know even better" Your explanations of what Cape Ann's tugs were doing made perfect sense and like you said each specialty has its own tricks.
Nice little job, although I really can’t see why the captain of the super yacht just doesn’t take a pilot (if there’s one for the area) and go up under her own steam, I would think she’s nearly as manoeuvrable as the tugs...I guess money is know object! Also, just a little thing I noticed, we normally cross our towing gear over which give you a slightly better angle... I guess with twin screw engines and big power they don’t worry too much, we do work like this with single screw boats so we need all the help we can get! Another great video anyway and looks like you had a great day for it, it’s normally blowing a bastard for us with rain...
Thank you for watching. I believe a pilot would cost much more than the two tugs on this job. And besides, having to stop for traffic or a problem in those areas would not be a good situation without tugs. And lastly, as Captain Day stated, it is so shallow that this ships propellers could stir up things off the bottom that could easily clog the intakes. CUOTO
Looks like that childhood island produced at least 2 very talented Captains! Thoroughly enjoyed this alternative look at another part of the industry. CUOTO!
Really enjoyed interview with captain Chuck, wish I could hear more of this stuff. Spent twenty two years on ships mostly tankers, last eight on harbour tugs.
Fun look into the world of the rich and famous! Way back in the 70’s when I was in the Coast Guard in New London, we got a call from the Captain of the Yacht owned by the owner of Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas. They were going to dock at Mystic Seaport but were unfamiliar with the Mystic river and bridges. The Yacht was about 125 feet, so it was a challenge. I volunteered to ride along on my own time as a pilot. That was quite a fun trip. Barely inches to spare getting through the RT. 1 bridge. The yacht was incredible, and so were some of the young ladies aboard!
Cool stuff, Tim! Those guys know what they're doing, that's for sure. It helps that those boats steer that easy with just the props. Sort of a skidsteer on the water. Nice!
Tim, Like the video? I loved it! Well done Cpt Courtney & Chris easing them in with "Soapsuds and a shoehorn" dont scratch that "White Boat Chamois Shine" With out mentioning names that Particular White Boat name rings a bell Im sure ive seen her in the Queensland Game Fishing Circus ......i mean Circles! CUOTO Scotty
Thank you for watching Zach. If you are new to the channel, Welcome. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. I am working on another Cape Ann Towing video of them towing a 160 foot mega yacht down the New River. CUOTO
Thanks for this content, Tim! I shudder to think how many grogs went down at the end of the day with a lifelong friend in a warm, tropical port. Two Monhegan miscreants jus’ havin’ fun...! Third cut to separate the engine spaces from the Golden Wreck is finally under way here. So far, pollution leaking out appears minimal but that could change rapidly if the cutting chains rip through tanks or pipes. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Dick. We did have a great time together. Courtney's sister Zoe was with us too, so we all reminisced about growing up and living on the island. CUOTO
Very interesting and unique video. Never seen a mega yacht tow video with this amount of detail and good camerawork. Both tug helmsman did a great job. I did not realize how big the yacht was until you got off of the tug. Looks like it takes a LOT of experience to do what they are doing. Thanks for making great content!
Thank you for watching. We certainly had good conditions that day, but know that they have been bringing in these ships for more than 40 years in all kinds of different conditions. We just got a very nice day to shoot this video. CUOTO
That's cool. It must have seemed like everything was happening at lightning speed! No time to think. Speaking as a guy who spent a two years running launches and docking boats at a yacht club (albeit 40 years ago), that was a pleasure to watch!

Thank you for watching Rick. We were both very lucky to grow up there. CUOTO
Really enjoyed interview with captain Chuck, wish I could hear more of this stuff. Spent twenty two years on ships mostly tankers, last eight on harbour tugs.
Thank you for watching Ronald. CUOTO
very interesting, real professionals, enjoyed watching.
Thank you very much Kirk! CUOTO
Fun look into the world of the rich and famous!
Way back in the 70’s when I was in the Coast Guard in New London, we got a call from the Captain of the Yacht owned by the owner of Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas. They were going to dock at Mystic Seaport but were unfamiliar with the Mystic river and bridges. The Yacht was about 125 feet, so it was a challenge. I volunteered to ride along on my own time as a pilot. That was quite a fun trip. Barely inches to spare getting through the RT. 1 bridge. The yacht was incredible, and so were some of the young ladies aboard!
Lol. Thank you for watching Bill. I bet! Those boats seem to always be loaded with beautiful woman. CUOTO
Cool stuff, Tim! Those guys know what they're doing, that's for sure. It helps that those boats steer that easy with just the props. Sort of a skidsteer on the water. Nice!
Thank you for watching Ed. Yes, I think that is a fair analogy. CUOTO
Once again, I'm impressed. But, hell, I ran aground in my row boat.
Lol. 10 points! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Tim, Like the video? I loved it! Well done Cpt Courtney & Chris easing them in with "Soapsuds and a shoehorn" dont scratch that "White Boat Chamois Shine" With out mentioning names that Particular White Boat name rings a bell Im sure ive seen her in the Queensland Game Fishing Circus ......i mean Circles! CUOTO Scotty
Thank you for watching Scotty. Very could be. CUOTO
That was awesome!
Thank you for watching Zach. If you are new to the channel, Welcome. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. I am working on another Cape Ann Towing video of them towing a 160 foot mega yacht down the New River. CUOTO
@@TimBatSea Oh nice! I can't wait to see the vid! I've been subscribed for a while now! You sent me a hoodie, I can't thank you enough for that! CUOTO
Thanks for this content, Tim! I shudder to think how many grogs went down at the end of the day with a lifelong friend in a warm, tropical port. Two Monhegan miscreants jus’ havin’ fun...!
Third cut to separate the engine spaces from the Golden Wreck is finally under way here. So far, pollution leaking out appears minimal but that could change rapidly if the cutting chains rip through tanks or pipes. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Dick. We did have a great time together. Courtney's sister Zoe was with us too, so we all reminisced about growing up and living on the island. CUOTO
Another learning experience! I hadn't ever considered that tugs would maneuver yachts.
Oh yes! Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Wow that was cool!
Thank you for watching Matt!
Great job.....CUOTO
Thank you fir watching Roger. CUOTO
Very interesting and unique video. Never seen a mega yacht tow video with this amount of detail and good camerawork. Both tug helmsman did a great job. I did not realize how big the yacht was until you got off of the tug. Looks like it takes a LOT of experience to do what they are doing. Thanks for making great content!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. I try to post new content every Tuesday. Do you only have to wait 1 day now. Lol. CUOTO
I own my little cruiser 26 feet 🦶.
Loved approach, slow and steady! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you again for watching. CUOTO
Wow. That was cool. Being a flat lander this fascinates me. Fun to see what other people do for a living.
Thank you for watching Steve. If you are new to the channel, Welcome. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
small tug for small boat. Love it.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Great stuff Tim
Thank you Jonny. CUOTO
Very cool , too me looks like it’s all about leverage
Thank you for watching. Yes. Something like that. CUOTO
You wouldn't want to be doing this dance with a fresh breeze adding to the mix. The side of that yacht would definitely make a big sail.
Thank you for watching. We certainly had good conditions that day, but know that they have been bringing in these ships for more than 40 years in all kinds of different conditions. We just got a very nice day to shoot this video. CUOTO
That's cool. It must have seemed like everything was happening at lightning speed! No time to think. Speaking as a guy who spent a two years running launches and docking boats at a yacht club (albeit 40 years ago), that was a pleasure to watch!
Oh Yes! Those guys are masters of their craft. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Amazing skills from the Cape Ann Crews. Nice to see a Pro as yourself acknowledge the work and skills of other Pros. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Frank. Those guys are certainly masters of their craft. CUOTO
