This is the most informative channel about SuperYachts on RUclips. I cannot imagine the time involved gathering information. Thumbs Up
Thanks, it's nice to know that some appreciate how much work goes on behind the scenes!
We do really appreciate all your hard work.
Thank you for your updates. Being an ex crew member of yachts in the '90s, it is good to see what is going on. Was interested to see the vessel I first knew as MY Stefaren that arrived in Antigua in '91 then became Maridome moored alongside at 11mins 54secs. Spent some good times on her in Greece then around the Caribbean and both sides of Mexico.
It's interesting to hear from you guys who had personal experience with these yachts. Thanks for sharing.
Another quality video - the built up network of "informers" and viewers submitting information is amazing. Keep up the good work, but watch your back.
Love your Channel cheers from Atlantic Canada👍😎🇨🇦
Am glad you are clarifying the sanctions situation to the crew of such boats. If you break the rules, you may get into trouble. I imagine many of the crew are quite young, so it is important. Thank you.
Another excellent Video.
🙋♂️THANKS TO YOU …ESYSMAN …we all know more than ever about SUPER YACHTS 😊😎🤗💚💚💚
Thanks for clarifying the statement made by "Captain Jack" You most certainly have made various videos and comments regarding the fate of crew who had been caught up by sanctions .
Half of which never know exactly who they are actually working for. This is an entirely different level of employment.
Great video! I'm quite certain that there is a few more of these, let's say, Mutually composed business ventures afoot.
What a evil web we weave, when first we practice to deceive. Thanks for the video/s.
Nice edition and hats off for making it clear to potential crew!
Always enjoy your videos no matter what the subject.
I have worked with a yacht managed by Masters. Crew seemed to always have issues with pay or issues with SEA. We had Richard on board and as crew we didn't like his attitude.
Spotters successes!
Hey eSysman SuperYachts!, thanks for the heads up!👍 I try to do my best to keep up on these very Luxurious Yachts.👍👍✌️🤔🤔
And always, best wishes (to you) coming from Phoenix, AZ
Good to see you again mate 👌
Always great information. I enjoy your channel. Toronto
I used to live in Colwyn Bay now living in Marbella Southern Spain, and the boat found in the bay empty , the 4 crew found all safe and well may be a little intoxicated in a local pub drink bear, the boat got loose from its moorings and drifted into the bay
I'm sure you ready know
Keep up your great work
Cheers
Another excellent piece!!
ty for another informative vid . also for the 3 min maritime vids
Thank you I do not understand who is allowing these super yachts to continue to sail with no country and continue to allow them to turn off the tracking systems? What is the penalty for those infractions supposed to be? Who is responsible? Thank you for your videos.
There's no obvious responsible entity for (or penalty) for being unflagged. It doesn't, for example, give any country the right to seize that vessel on the high seas. If they enter territorial waters unflagged, that country could refuse them entry. The biggest problem is probably that whatever insurance they had is almost certainly void as no insurance company would cover an unflagged vessel. So if it is damaged (or damages something else) there'd be no payout. This also means any crew onboard won't be covered by medical insurance or any other protections they might expect as part of their employment. Why you'd chose to work on an unflagged vessel ? who knows ? Must have some big bags of cash flown in every so often to keep everyone happy.
Thanks for the heads up. Praying for Peace and blessings..
Brilliant video. Great info. I'm quite happy with this one. Thank you.
changed tango to fanta , now thats funny LOL
Seems like a matter of oranges and oranges to me.
Another comment mentioned trump is tied into that too, imterestingly enough. Coincidence?
I always keep my eyes open but never seem to spot a superyacht.
By the way, Greetings from New Mexico. :) I really love the channel.
Hahaha. Me too. Southern Colorado, land locked water baby here. Love the yachts.
@@helenshea3446 I am guessing they avoid the area because the Rocky Mountains are hard on the bottom paint.
🤣 Hahaha 🤣 Exactly. I get up to Connecticut and Massachusetts every year
That's when I get to do my yacht spotting. Whales and yachts.
@@helenshea3446 My father and I used to go to the Long Beach boat show every year in the late 80s. I looked forward to that every year even though it was held in an arena. Everything there had to be brought in by truck so sizes were limited but we had tons of fun. We would spend a few days at the show and then hit Marina Del Ray before heading home.
One year we rented a Catalina 34 for a week . and sailed it over to Avalon and spent the week sailing around the California coast. Never saw a whale but we had tons of fun. My dad had had a little Catalina 25 in Elephant Butte lake. It was a great weekend boat. That was the bulk of my sailing experience.
I love boat shows. I grew up with a single mom here in Colorado. I was 10 before I saw an ocean and in my 40's before stepping foot on anything bigger then a ski boat. Fell in love with the Atlantic ocean. Like the Pacific, but love the Atlantic. Spending a week on a yacht would be a definite on my bucket list.
Love this type of video
Excellent video. This seems analogous to working for a legitimate business owned by the Mafia. Merely being an employee is not a crime. Helping them cook the books is a crime. Once you participate in illegal acts, you expose yourself to legal jeopardy; and you being a regular person become the weakest link for the Prosecutors to target. It sounds best to avoid working on such Yachts until this matter has been resolved.
Ive spoken to an ex worker of a super yacht which he couldnt say which, when i spoke to him of this channel and could hold a convo about the subject, we did enjoy a convo around his work without saying anything to who or which yacht, but was obvious it was simple, it all ended sudden and he needed to find work elsewhere, done, gone, move on, it must be hard but it was a career change and not worth the exposure to breaking the law.
Im still enjoying the channel.
You are literally the only person that I've found that has reported on how the crew is directly affected by the sanctions. I haven't heard any major news outlet saying anything about it. Maybe Captain Jack should refer his complaints to CNN, BBC, FOX News, Alibaba, Reuters, etc, etc..
Super Sleuth eSysman! He always gets the story. Great community of viewers who contribute intelligence reports, too. Top-shelf content, production and presentation as usual. Cheers.
Spotted M/Y Nord, I won't spoil the surprise.
I often wondered how the crew of a sactioned yacht were considered legally. This is good info, but probably needs some further legal opinion.
Hahaaa. I love how my small screen subtitles interprets your pronunciation of Anchor as Wanker. Hahaaa.
Keep up the great reporting.
I didn't know, but should have known, and maybe have even forgotten, that the British are not referred to as citizens, but instead as subjects. Very educational.
That is interesting. I wonder if it applies to all people of the Commonwealth?
@@JointerMark Maybe it's just the American in me but due to my age the word "subject" is almost akin to the word "slave".
@@Dan-oj4iq I actually looked this up, in 1946 Canada passed laws making Canadians citizens not subjects. These laws were then again modified in 1977 affirming the citizen status of Canadians.
A British citizen is what you thought it was. If you're born in the UK, to UK parents, then you're likely a citizen, just like anyone would expect. Being a British subject is not the same as being a British citizen.
Your informative and interesting news videos are seen and enjoyed around the world. You and your staff (friends?) should be proud.
A Masters class in getting Tango'd!!!
😅Yes, it is. I wonder if it still takes two.
I’m new to this channel and was a crew member of MY BOB BARKER… (a sea shepherd ship).. last I heard of her she was in Hobart… does anyone know if she got refitted or what has happened to her?..
I’ve lost touch with my old crew mates and was just wondering about her… she was a great ship to serve on.. I’d like to take my kids onboard to show them if it’s still available… (we used to do public tours when in port.. to raise awareness and support)
please and thank you in advance for any information..
The vessel was broken up in November last year. She was 72 years old!
@@YachtReport I knew her age and heritage… but I didn’t know she’d been scrapped…. That is so sad… another piece of history lost… I guess I’ll always have my memories…. Thank you for the sad information…
Very interesting video 2x👍
Thank you Mr. eSysman. Always enjoy your uploads.
M/Y Plan B still looks like a navy vessel. Probably my favorite so far.
So these people have a broken moral compass!! Ugh! You know I love your videos - just these people are so despicable. Great job. Thanks as always. 🤗🌱🌱
I smiled when I heard news of Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska and his recent entanglement with the American FBI as he attempted to skirt sanctions. Straight away I knew the name of his super yacht Clio and his fortune from the aluminum industry - all information I've gleaned from watching ESysman and his fascinating channel here.
Yay
Another great Video! So is "Chris" or "Captain Jack" the number 1 fan now?
Definitely Chris!
They should have a race to see who is fastest up the rigging.
My FAVORITE M/Y NOOOOOOORRRRRRD, is too awesome!! Y’all CANT CATCH NORD! 👊🏾
You've been Tangoed! lol
Good to see you
Thanks for the info and explanation of all this goings on. Take care
Should have gone with "Cash" as a name for a "Tango & Cash" reference. Much more obscure 🙂
As stated in a prior video, a management company does the hiring, firing, payroll, expenses payouts etc of the vessel they are managing, is it possible they could've instructed the crew to use the name Fanta instead of Tango?
This would give the Captain and other officers plausible deniability if any legal issues arose, of which, they did.
If someone gives you an order to do something that is illegal, you can still be responsible. They were told only to change the name on paper, so they knew it was fake.
@@YachtReport Valid point! I'd go with the 'I'm the new guy' defense :)
Great video! Thanks for putting it together and sharing!
I Was watching "A Place In The Sun" recently as was sure I saw Sailing Yacht A in the background.
Love 💕 your videos
A great update regarding events and shocked that " Captain Jack" places crew wages and impact of the war Putin choose with all long range weapons targeting civilian above all! That is crime within itself as is dodging santions imposed on assets such as super yachts. Keep up the great work and thank you.
@@geetee2694 You sound so desperate and like your gonna cry rolling names in desperation around to give substance to your soggy nappy half wit comments . Bye and wish well =)
@@geetee2694 Ive eaten in all youve metioned whilst you talk from you dreams
@@geetee2694 I think I can smell Pee Pee as the boys leaking
@@geetee2694 come on you can do better than that surely as border line pathetic and are starting to sound like a Russiam Chicken boy with Wagner in the back of your pants?
@@geetee2694 I like others I have no idea what you are talking about as is complete rambling nonsense? With your grasp of English clearly appalling and you need to start taking your Meds.
I’ve seen Motor Yacht A off the coast of Santa Barbara.
"Captain Jack will get you by tonight..."
Hope it's not a copyright strike to put lyrics in the comments
Another great show . They have been tangoed in this episode . Long live the channel .
Great video! Keep up the great work.
When the US DoJ requests you’re deportation to the United States you are potentially looking at some serious ‘jail time!’ 🥴
For anyone wondering about the 2018 and 2019 dates mentioned, Vekselberg was one of a couple dozen Russians sanctioned in 2018 for reasons related to Russia's annexation of Crimea, way before the 2022 invasion of the rest of Ukraine. The US was keeping watch on him for other reasons like he or his private jet being in interesting places believed related to Trump, Manafort, Ukraine, and other things. V was sanctioned the month after Mueller's team investigating Trump, interviewed V at a US airport. In 2022, additional sanctions were specifically placed against one of his private jets (an Airbus) and his superyacht Tango.
He's the guy who owns 15 Faberge eggs. He seems very into art, including getting art/historic pieces back to their places of origin, so in that sense he is a bit of a philanthropist. For instance, he got some Russian bells returned to Russia from Harvard, by paying through the nose and also having replacements made. So, he's a multi-faceted guy, but like all Russian oligarchs, one very big facet is doing whatever is needed to keep Putin happy with him.
I guess if superyacht crews stick to seafaring duties that's one thing, and if they get involved in covering up for a sanctioned oligarch using his resources to conduct tasks/meetings to help Putin's Ukraine agenda, that is a different thing.
Anything to do with tRump turns to sh#t
@@MikeCris unless you live under a rock you’ll have heard of Trump and his Russian connection. He openly vows his admiration for Putin and obviously in Putin’s pocket.
Tango is a carbonated orange beverage owned by Britvic the PepsiCo bottler, while Fanta as you rightly said is the Coca-Cola company carbonated orange drink… And you are right, Tango is primarily sold in the UK.
The dock space in Ushuaia is limited and must be reserved, hence MY Octopus time at the dock was for a set period.
I’m going down there in 2 weeks and will keep an eye out for her.
Really interesting today. 👍👏👏👏
We need a taste test.....Tango vs Fanta vs ?.....
I've watched a few of your videos and enjoy them, but I still don't know what you do on a yacht. What is your job on a yacht? Captain? Engineer? Deck hand? Tried to look at other videos to find out, but can't seem to find what you do.
Sanctions Are made to punish an aggressor who broke agreements NOT to invade another country. The oligarchs themselves made most of their billions illegally and care not about the resulting carnage. We must all unite against them. Simply put, it’s good over evil. (And please, no comments about being naive. It’s a matter of ethics.)
Thank you for this clear headed video.
Have you told us about length of Tango and number of crew.?
What crew member would be crazy enough to TAKE a job that’s on a yacht under sanctions? I mean anyone still on a yacht under sanctions is running a huge risk of the money running out and not getting paid
Cant wait.....
I am somewhat in doubt, the reported dates of correspondence date back to 2018 & 2019 respectively, how would this have any influence over the conflict in The Crimea which occurred a number of years later?
Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
To those writers who write 'James Bond' flix...... watch this channel!
@ timestamp 12:34, is that M/Y Venus, Steve Jobs' boat, just off starboard bow of Fanta (née Tango)?
Those people sticking their necks out to help a sanctioned oligarch must do it outta fear and/or greed. Either way, the price of admission is much too much for this guy. Excellent reporting as usual, thank you eSysman team. If "Captain Jack" thinks that there are more in-depth stories to be told in regard to crew members losing their jobs maybe Capt. Jack ought to do it. With all the hard work that goes into each episode, the captain thinks you need more and they feel they have the authority to assign that work to eSysman? Heh, heh, heh...sure buddy.
Wow, your videos are so informative. Would love to know what lead you to start this channel. That would be a great video 👍.
People get charged or fined for violating sanctions even when they DON'T know they are doing it. It's on the people to avoid participating in it. That said if someone is telling you hide the name of the boat take a hint!
Maybe the hint is the British should keep their nose out of other countries business and not seize property that doesn't belong to them.
Thanks, you should have a rest on weekends. It’s never worth to work too hard 😅
You mentioned many times how the sanctions were affecting crews.
"Business cooperation or whatever you want to call it" - um, kickbacks/commission/small affiliate fees.
Where’s the Pacific video?
I would have changed it to Ting...
I sure do miss it in the USA.
Any news on the two yachts which were under sanction in Sardinia and were busted out just recently?
Captain Jack: I know who you are. While unfortunate that crew loses their jobs, this is the reality of working on shifty yachts. I'm sure staff across the industry see some fairly illegal behaviour. This is very much part of that.
Capt. Jack, I don’t like to see crew hurt by the sanctions however, I would never have associated with any Russian business or Oligarch while Putin was/is running Russia. A lot of people drop their moral compasses to chase the money. Their decision to associate with Oligarchs.
Yes Nord is moored right this moment just off the small island of Surf close to ????????????????
Which boat is Jay Z on ? , and how about Lewis Hamilton ?
We did two videos about Lewis!
Won't Somebody Please Think of the -Children- Super Yacht Crews ! ! ! :-(((
#WarIsHell
Thailand?
The quality of your videos is getting much better. Whatever you did with your editing make for a nice viewing entertainment experience. The Mission Impossible editing was very well done.
This is great information and something I've had in my thoughts regarding crew and sanctioned yachts. The crews have a difficult decisions to make regardless of who owns the yachts there working on. There knowingly covering up for there owners it's a risk there taking. At the end of the day they have families to feed back home. I would think some crew members are fed lies and kept in the dark unknowingly to them. Its them I feel sorry for. Great informative video as ever. Keep up the good work 👍
Those politicians aren't going to pay for your family's food & winter heat like how your career won't be beside you on your death bed.
Is it possible in the Octopus video that either Lewis Hamilton or Shaun White are running sprints on deck?
It's absurd for anybody to think that because you are not directly targeted by sanctions, that you won't be held liable for helping or working for somebody who is. If your boss runs afoul of the law, it is your responsibility to turn your boss in, or at least immediately quit and disassociate yourself from him/her.
Or at least inform them you demand a 10x raise or the govt gonna hear bout them lol.
Does anyone else think esysman might actually be a super yacht owner himself? I don’t know for sure but I just a vibe that he might!
Is the lesson to be learned from this saga that the ultra rich would be better renting / leasing property like this rather than ownership, even concealed via various corps and trusts?
Actually, that’s exactly what many of them do! Including existing yacht owners who wish to cruise anonymously to some locations.
No!!! british are so well known for following the rules.... #londonsburg #jersey #guernsey #iom #bermuda
The blurred image of ‘Captain Jack’ looked kind of like Tristan in uniform… I hope not🙈!, watch both of y’all’s channels… LOL 😝
Haha, it certainly is not.
@@YachtReport I didn’t seriously think so.. He’s mentioned you & your channel several times. Always in a positive light, recommending your channel for information he doesn’t dive deeply into. Cheers 🍻 mate! 😃
Love the channel! Thank you. I have been capturing video of Infinity in Fort Pearce Florida for the past week, I have some beautiful content. I have Marine Traffic app. Do you have any info on how to know when the yacht will be departing fort Pearce? I really want to get it leaving. I will send you some video soon.
We can always use footage of yachts. It might not be in the news right now but at some point it could be. We may also use it for our new spotted section. You can send via wetransfer.com to news@esysman.co.uk
I really enjoy your videos especially when you address these sanctions and the way the Russians try to avoid them
A little correction. this yacht does not belong to russian person, owner of the yacht is a Jewish man who was born in Ukraine.
How do actions performed in 2016-19 affect the current situation? Is it because it continued or were the crew actions illegal anyway? Sorry if I missed something in the video but I'm a bit confused on the pre-sanctions charges. Thank you.
If someone was sanctioned it means they are no longer allowed to operate in the US. Regardless of when those sanctions were applied. By doing the things they are have alleged to have done, it means they broke those sanctions rules.
Whow! Either that captain was a complete idiot for nailing himself by sending emails around about protecting Vekselberg OR he had been given A LOT of money and felt like he was safe.
Captain Jack has an interest, likely, in the big business of yachting. He realizes this war won't last forever, and wants to be looked upon as Russian friendly when that time comes so he can reap the benefits.😁😎👍✌
Motor yacht Fanta 🤣🤣🤣
Man really tried Fanta 😅😅😅
