The tender is the ship the motorboat is hoisted onto, not the yacht itself. The tender is the less glam companion to the superyacht, with supplies, auxillary craft like the motorboat, jetskis and other toys, and probably a large diesel reserve for the yacht.
Oh, Yes the navy does it all the time. The Amphibious fleet does it as a matter of routine. Launching and recovery of assault craft and rescue craft of all kinds, its what they do. I was stationed @ Little Creek Amphib Base in ACB-2; ACU-2; HCU-2; Craft Masters School. What their doing just takes training and lot's of practice..ChiefD
My thought exactly. To be honest if you have that kind of money would it not just be less hassle to charter a nice tender every time the yacht gets to a new destination ?
@@MSROnline001 In this particular region of the world you'd be totally correct. However, it is an explorer yacht which presumably means it will end up in isolated locales around the globe with less advantageous support infrastructure. In those particular cases, the boat would need to have its own equipment and tender(s).
Pretty interesting. The scale of the boat and the operations is crazy. I just can’t imagine having all that happen so I can enjoy a few days on the water. Obviously I’m a pleb.
Did you know that those Seven marine outboards are the most powerfull outboards available. They need an oil change Every 50 hours! And they need Special race oil.
Toy recovery was interesting. Thanks for being there to film it. I guess they have a stand on the bow to anchor it too. I guess the next drone flight would answer that question so when I buy a monster yacht like that and put a toy like that on the bow......... Yeah right! Lol. Fantastic job Sir. Thanks
Incredible. I cant wait to see them do U21 while coordinating the two cranes. I heard they had to drain the fuel tanks of u21 every time they lift it out of the water, because of the weight, then fill them back up when they drop it back in the water. Can you confirm that?
That is just so damn cool! What an amazing yacht. Even the tenders are amazing. That is such fascinating footage to watch. I really love this kind of content. Thanks so much for this!!!
That is the 53 ft suenos model actually.The beam of Andromeda is 59ft and the tender is definitely not as long as it is wide.Link to it hcbyachts.com/suenos/
Very amateurish, had the crew extended the boom of the crane before starting the lift they wouldnt have almost smacked into the side of the ship. How many people did it take to load one boat? I like other yachts that have garage doors on the sides or back of the ship for loading. I am glad these types of worries are above my pay grade.
Four anchor bolts, one on each corner of the tender, would be a better way for recovery. This method shown here, is a way to increase accidents and maintenance costs.
this tender boat is worth about $2 million and it is a boat many would long to have just this the ultimate center console 65 foot boat . perfect for going to the Bahamas from Florida for the day , which is why it was built
Wow what an effort that is. How many people are involved in this? 10? And that in calm waters. What is the chain of approval to let a boat to water if half the crew is involved in, wearing helmets, safety gear, a canoe, plastic swim platform, etc, etc.
I wonder if the super yacht had to transfer some ballast or fuel to starboard side - the hull didn't lean to port at ALL that I could see, despite the weight that must be.
Fyi that hcb yacht was the 42 ft siesta . The 65 has 5 seven marine 627 .plus the crane was only a 30 ton one. The 65 load weight is at 75k. The outboard take regular oil motor oil it a base on a ls motor
i remember you saying some of these super yachts were over 300 meters long.An aircraft carrier built and campainged in the 50s and campainged thru the 90s was just over 1000 ft long.do the math.Thats gotta be frickin massive for a private cruiser.
Amazing... my goal in life is to own and live on a super yatch. Maybe one day I will build a 1 billion dollar exploration yatch... hard work and determination you couldn't achieve so much.
Hey, love the channel. Just a suggestion here...just for fun why don't you do an annual vlog of mega-yachts (90 meters or more) "rumored" or officially for sale currently. Cheers!
My younger cousin is a naval architect from University of Michigan. He helped design that boat. He goes around the world teaching new owners how to operate it.
Impressive. I think I’d rather stick to the configuration I’ve used in the past for lifting large tenders - just a lot more robust and reliable. Plus, using two cranes for the lift gives you more versatility. And they’ve got the cranes for it (they use both for lifting the monster cat). Could be the cradle layout on the foredeck limits them to a single crane.
I saw Andromeda out in the Caribbean last year - photographed it from 2 miles distance with a superzoom camera, then identified it. It belongs to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook
Great capture and very interesting to see actual practical things of such an XXL explorer. Stuff yachting mags don't know, or do not write about (dito many websites) But....it all looks a bit awkward and embarrassing to me...the kayaks, the floating inflatable small pontoon....with wind / waves /current they might not even make an attempt.....must be easier ways to retrieve such a tender, but they will eat up inside space of the ship I think
That's a 14 m "Limo RIB" tender designed by ACMarine Design (acmarine.design/14m-cabin-tender ) and built by NAIAD (naiad.co.nz ), both based in New Zealand, home country of Andromeda's original owner Graeme Hart. The red tender behind it would presumably be a SOLAS rescue boat for man-overboard situations.
Blofeld and Bond are laughing their a$$es off at this. For a Bond style recovery of a tender that size the stern of the Andromeda would open and there would be a roller equipped ramp at the very least for the speedboat to be hauled up and inside.
Definitely not James Bond style. That must be the new female version with Jane Bond ... always finds the hard, slow and painful way. She will then take another two hours to get her shopping out the boat and another hour getting lost trying to find her cabin because her GPS is upside down.
Ah, isn't that the 53' footer Suenos? The 65' Estrella has 5 engines, not four. But still, it's mad to have a Suenos as a tender. Lovely, but mad. I'm jealous.
Adromeda's beam is 59 ft. and if you look at HCB CC Yacht is clearly shorter than beam of the ship, while docked on the stern of Adromeda at 0:12 Yes, the tender is HCB 53' Suenos Center Console Yacht & not the 65' Estrella.
What a faff , imagine trying to recover that in a lumpy sea , dangerous and the boat would be smashing into the side of the yacht . At the least it should be lifted via hard points built into the boat and preferably into a garage via a ramp or minimum an overhead garage crane .
If it was James Bond, the tender would have driven into a garage on the yacht where bond would have stepped off whilst buttoning his jacket
Yes or at least a ramp to get launched or come back. This has existee on rescue boats for decades now and it's quick.
The tender is the ship the motorboat is hoisted onto, not the yacht itself. The tender is the less glam companion to the superyacht, with supplies, auxillary craft like the motorboat, jetskis and other toys, and probably a large diesel reserve for the yacht.
Well if this guy had the octopus 🐙 super yacht.. he could of done just that..😁
That was my thought too. I'll bet the owner is pi**ed this got posted
The big catamaran - yes that is part of the boat ! Goes up through the back. More James Bondish ...
Love the Andromeda coverage. It is my favorite Super Yacht! THANKS
This is what makes your channel great. Thank you for showing us the day to day world of these yachts. Much appreciated.
Hundreds of millions of dollars and that’s the best idea they could come up with?
No way they could do that in open water.

Not the least interesting part: kayak logistics.
2:32 A tender to leave the tender :D

@@nolenhughes2464 Yeah - you call that a Cruise Ship...
@@tullochgorum6323 That's the joke!
We’re all plebs. (I run a software company)
If more people would realise that, we’d make better voting décisions.
What that needed was another miniature crane on the speedboat to launch and retrieve the kayak in same fashion.
Where is the massive operation recovering the Kayak 😜
For such a big and costly yacht I’m surprised the recover operation is so basic but great video and insight it gives 👍👍👍👍
You really put her size into perspective with this video. She is HUGE!!!! Thanks for the video. Stay safe brother!!
That tender looks like a midnight express! It´s a beast of a boat with lots of power. I love this ship man
Watching this made me relive my time in the Navy making lifts on & off ships with my cranes ChiefD
Wow, well, 4/5 down, one to go! I want to see that catamaran get loaded. Thanks for catching this one! Cheers, 🍺👍😎
Q would have never approved of that shitshow.
Did you know that those Seven marine outboards are the most powerfull outboards available. They need an oil change Every 50 hours! And they need Special race oil.
They are monsters !
Theres only four mate
Bung Holio yep 627hp x 4 = 2408hp but who's counting
Wups! Not me!!! 2508hp! Time for another drink
Crazy. I wonder how much that boat even gets used given they haven't even bothered antifouling it
Never a dull moment on this channel.
Some Of These Tenders are like dream boats for us.
Toy recovery was interesting. Thanks for being there to film it. I guess they have a stand on the bow to anchor it too. I guess the next drone flight would answer that question so when I buy a monster yacht like that and put a toy like that on the bow......... Yeah right! Lol. Fantastic job Sir. Thanks
Would have loved to have flown the drone but it was in the flight path for Nice airport runway 04L so no fly zone.
Incredible. I cant wait to see them do U21 while coordinating the two cranes. I heard they had to drain the fuel tanks of u21 every time they lift it out of the water, because of the weight, then fill them back up when they drop it back in the water. Can you confirm that?
Definitely my favorite yacht right now. My friend saw it off the coast of Italy a few weeks ago. Awesome videos keep em coming
It would be a dream just to be able to purchase that speed boat.
I prefer the solution on M/Y Yade in the background of video. It has a drive-in tender garage, so you don't need a crane and ten crew to get it in.
That is just so damn cool! What an amazing yacht. Even the tenders are amazing. That is such fascinating footage to watch. I really love this kind of content. Thanks so much for this!!!
Saw Ulysses bring up the Princess motoryacht here in Miami, I bit all my nails off in the process
Just awesome to see these Deckhand operations. Please do more! Thanks
Love to see the engineering on the lift fixture/ spreader bar frame .... they’re breaking three basic rigging / hoisting rules.
That is just wild,,,, whole bunch of weight/cash dangling in the air. 👍👍

Bond like? He would have jumped the stern and on the 2nd pass landed props up in the beach club . Great channel ⛴️!
That is not a 70’ speed boat it is a 53’ Suenos by HCB
Nice try, but it's an estrella. Which is 65'
@@hall2jc 53' suenos
Fascinating.
I wonder if the super yacht had to transfer some ballast or fuel to starboard side - the hull didn't lean to port at ALL that I could see, despite the weight that must be.
Nice center console, where do you store it? Glad you asked. LOL
:DDDD
The drive-in, drainable (or pump out if you prefer) garage on Octopus is James Bond style. Paul Allen built a very serious expedition class yacht.
Agreed. Best boat out there

BETTER MAKE SURE YOU...GET IT RIGHT...BOYS!!!
it never. ceases to amaze me what people waste their money on.
2:35 There are people working hard and then there are these too enjoying a little kayaking... jk 🤣
they picked a good name, everything is huge
If they could pull that off with my Truck-Boat-Truck then we're talkin', Baae-bee!
Great vid thanks
Would love to watch the big cat being taken aboard as well....
wonder how long before some one builds a yacht with a well deck LPD style

Ok, highly impressed! That boat weights 45,000 plus.

How does it recover the bigger 2 or 3 deck tender in the back?
interesting winch for a luxury ship
Where does it stow the bigger 2 storey tender?
It's a babushka boat! Do they finish up with a bath toy tug?
I think the tenders should have been thought about more in the design, this is so high and complicated and also the time taken
That's how you know that yacht is freaking huge because I thought that boat was like 25 feet long, not 65 feet plus long. Wow.
venom5809 it’s not a 65 ft estrella like he says. It’s a 53ft
Where’s m/y kiss? We were just in Nice with them.
You could have have us a heads up at 5:02 iv got headphones on
I saw Andromeda out in the Caribbean last year - photographed it from 2 miles distance with a superzoom camera, then identified it. It belongs to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook
No he doesn’t own it. That was a popular story at the time this vessel sold but it’s untrue.
53' Suenos
A 3 million dollar tender! Fuck me! Must be nice!
Wow...just wow...some ppl got it like that
How do they recover or where do they put the tender boat?
Bet his next ship has the aforementioned “drive-in slip” in the rear, where the tenders, sub and other toys can be easily accessed and stored
Great capture and very interesting to see actual practical things of such an XXL explorer. Stuff yachting mags don't know, or do not write about (dito many websites)

BTW is that a Scout?
4 giant outboard engines seems like some kind of over kill Jeremy Clarkson would do :-)
53’ suenos not the larger Estrella?
Excellant
Very interesting process for watching.
Haste makes waste.
When does it continue?
This is all a bit of a flaff for a rather unsexy tender. Rather more impressed with size of anchor. Hello from London ; - )
It’s a Hydrasport 53 Suenos as the 65 Estrella has 5 outboards.
No it doesnt
Looks like they also have a Botnia Targa midships on the port side. Would that be an emergency vessel?
That's a 14 m "Limo RIB" tender designed by ACMarine Design (acmarine.design/14m-cabin-tender ) and built by NAIAD (naiad.co.nz ), both based in New Zealand, home country of Andromeda's original owner Graeme Hart.

How does one lose a 75 foot tender? I am seriously asking for the rest of us. Please explain.
You get to a point with a yacht where you’re that far from the water you might as well have just got a seaside property with a boat ramp
Thank you - I'll stand corrected, having seen the profile, Geoff rohde
That's an interesting way to do it !
Can you make a video where you explain how air con works on boats?
I'm no expert, but why would it work differently than in say a house?
Marine AC compressors are typically water cooled rather than air cooled like residential AC compressors/heat exchangers.
Wow! A crane omg

"Bond style"? We have different definitions, LOL. Cool stuff to see though. I wish we could see on deck where that thing goes/fits.
Love reading the comments by people who probably don,t even own a rubber raft.
James Bond would drive it straight in not muck around for ages with a crane.
Wow just Wow

That 65ft boat has over 2500 bhp.
It's 4 corvette z06 engines lol.
Not the new corvette the old c7 z06.
Rich Kiwi fella 🕶
He was the original owner. He owns Ulysses now.
@@YachtReport not bad for someone who used to be a tow truck driver hey.
It would have been much cooler if there had beeen a hatch in the back of the yacht that the speedboat could have entered.
What a faff , imagine trying to recover that in a lumpy sea , dangerous and the boat would be smashing into the side of the yacht . At the least it should be lifted via hard points built into the boat and preferably into a garage via a ramp or minimum an overhead garage crane .
It seems stupid that the chase boat is not equipped with lifting lugs. That would be much better for security.
Is having an onboard crane a selling point ??
All yachts that launch tenders have cranes, theirs is just more obvious. You need to be able to recover your tenders, jet skis etc.
