I’m glad you recognize that yes, there are surprisingly many boaters, new and old who could use some pointers and refresh. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Very well done ! This reminded me of when I was between 10 till 16 years old. Our parents had a sail boat on the lake. No engine. If the wind was wrong you had to push and pull, use ropes and the reap hook, and all you needed to get on your way. There were people who paddled 20, 30 maybe 50 meters before they hoisted the sails to be safe out of the harbor. When they came back this went the same way in return. I never ever needed to do that. My father learned me from day one how to it. How to read the wind, make use of it. It could be chaotic and noisy with a lot of sail flapping around. And it never went wrong. We pushed the boat out of the berth and pushed it around with the reap hook and we were off sailing. Within a few weeks I did this solo. It was so satisfying do be able to do such things. Best memories with my father.
It really does give the captain more options and ability to be in multiple places at once. It takes a little bit to get used to being able to maneuver a boat from anywhere other than at the helm but once you get used to it, it’s huge. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Very helpful! Thank you for the instruction. Docking a 65’ solo is my goal. It’s fun watching you stay ahead of the boat and whatever’s about to happen. Getting the fenders prepped while the wind pushed you toward your dock was a nice takeaway for me. All the best!
Wow, that is a very kind and humbling statement. I really appreciate that. I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words 🙌🏼
Getting better and better Dan, Fantastic video, I could imagine I was the new owner and you were giving me a quick refresher course on how to handle my new boat. If I were the new owner I'm not sure I'd put much trust in that remote and ask how hard it would be to install a port and starboard stern control stations ?, these days they're all fly by wire anyways aren't they. Thanks Dan and keep em coming.
I’m very happy you can see and appreciate some improvement! Thank you for the encouragement and feedback as always. These vessels can have a cockpit docking station and typically do have one ordered with it but the original owner who had this one built, did not select that option. The boat had just come out of storage, so possibly the remote needed a little more charging or maybe there are settings that can be edited. Either way, This is why I don’t usually rely on those types of features. Cheers!
Man you get A+ from me my captain Friend 😊😊😊. The walk through of the PANAL was excellent 👍👍👍. You are showing how to get a big vessel up and running from start( what to do to disconnect) shore power. There is a learning curve. For me personally have seen so many boaters operate there vessels like a car. Totally different. A boater MUST have someone like you that walks them through the START up. I am going to watch your video. Even though I had only a 24 footer. I had a professional operator ( class) do all the things you did. The amazing thing with him. Is he showed me the moving of my 24 at low speed for turning and docking. Something so many NEW boaters need TRAINING on. There is an ART to moving a vessel at slower speeds. ❤😊❤😊
Wow! Looks so easy to do all these solo...video, explaining + focusing the to-do in details. Like your work Dan. Keep it going. Cheers from Sarawak here.
Merci pour cette vidéo !!! Je suis un passionné de yachts et j'ai beaucoup apprécié toutes ces manœuvres. C'est inédit. J'espère qu'il y en aura d'autres avec des yachts plus gros de façon a se rendre compte de la complexité des manœuvres que cela nécessite.

This was I credibly helpful! As someone who would like to buy a yacht one day but doesn’t know how to operate one, this was the first YT video I’ve seen that explains how to do this! Thanks!
This is wonderful to hear! Thank you very much for watching and for sharing your feedback! Love being able to help boaters enjoy the water and learn in the process. When you’re ready to start the vessel search, feel free to reach out! As a broker, I’d be happy to help in the process 🙌🏼
That was without doubt, the best video I have seen on motorboat handling bar none. I've not handled anything that big before, but it's my plan for retirement.
Wow, that is such a kind and humbling comment! Thank you very much for watching and sharing your feedback. I’m super happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers 🙌🏼

Yes, things have definitely evolved a lot recently. Boating industry is always a few more years behind the innovation of the auto industry, but we’re catching up in a great way lately. Really helps bring boating to a broader audience and help grow the industry, which is a beautiful thing! Thank you very much for watching and for your kind words! Cheers! 🙌🏼

Great job. You had plenty of work to do and technology really helps. Just being able to hold a boat on station while handling the lines relaxes the grey cells. 👍
@@ElevateYacht Absolutely, and that fact can translate into having more fun. Although I'm not so sure Mega boat owners are primarily interested in 'fun'.

Such a kind comment! I really appreciate that! I will do my best to bring out more docking content in the future for sure. Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers
Good job man. Being a life long boater I’ve thought about the idea of doing something like this. Always took pride in the skill of being able to dock a boat precisely.
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video and I appreciate the feedback. The hardest part of this all is the video not the docking a vessel hah. It’s a lot of work but glad it’s enjoyed by folks like you. Cheers 🙌🏼
I am not a boat person and randomly stumbled across this video. Interestingly, I found this really entertaining to watch. I subbed, liked, and commented. Lol, the trifecta!
Love this! Thank you so much for watching, commenting and subscribing! I’m glad you’re here and who knows, maybe you’ll become a boat person after all :) cheers!
Not sure that every other company is as focused on proper vessel delivery/handover but it’s definitely something we pride ourselves on. The little things matter. Thank you for watching and for your input! Cheers
Holland Michigan? Wow. That is where my Roamer Yacht was built. (Looong time ago) Big feature, to me, was the steel transom that had compound curvatures formed by explosives. Still nice to look at the ones that have survived, online. Thank you for this video!
Docking a pontoon boat is tricky, I’d be more nervous with that than this big thing ha. The bigger they get, typically, the easier they are to maneuver actually. Thank you for watching and for the kind words! Cheers 🙌🏼
Excellent job captain, your in my old sailing Waters, before I moved to South Carolina, I had a 40 foot Beneteau sailing boat where I would sail from Saint Joe up to Holland For the weekend , great place Very enjoyable in the summer.
Love those areas for sure! My first “distance deliveries” were from Pier 1000 in St Joe to Chicago and back. Great area. Thank you for watching and sharing! Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers!
It’s a used boat that had an issue with the shore pedestal and required the head to be replaced. The exposed inner wires were being corrected after my client’s purchase.
I’m very happy you enjoyed the video! Most of the learning from captain’s school doesn’t go over specific docking scenarios like this, since many focus on safety and rules of the road type stuff.

Truly amazing video, you see all these yachts but truly don't know what all is involved with skippering one! Since I can't drive the occasional pontoon boats I rent, I'm in awe of your skill and talent. Thank you for the videos! Love them.
Technology has definitely made massive improvements and is only continuing to do so. interested to see how things like video assisted docking will go over... that one might take me a bit to buy into and trust but things like that only continue to help grow the industry and bring newer boaters in, so I will support that for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers!
@@ElevateYacht No bother, I recently found your channel and thurely enjoying your content. Would love to see the process of anchoring in a future yacht video 👍
Wow...I can't begin to tell you how much fun that was to watch. This is exactly the sort of video I would have wanted to make if I had a decent sized cruiser/trawler yacht...because it is exactly the sort of video that I myself want to see....incredibly interesting to see a solo operator un moor...depart, cruise around and re moor the boat single handed. The best RUclips video I have seen in a long time. Thank you for taking the time to make this...
Thank you so very much for watching and for sharing your kind words and input. This is so nice to hear! I am really happy you enjoyed the video and are getting value from the content. Welcome to the channel! Cheers
I am so glad it’s back. It was eating at me not being able to put out new videos for you all. Plenty more videos to come soon! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers!
I really like your videos; detailed and straight to the point. My wife would like to retire on a fly bridge boat and I wasn't sure that operating such a big boat would be that fun. You make it look easy. I would like to see how you wash that beast.
There is definitely a whole lot of boat to wash here. Luckily I’ve got a wash crew team that works for me, so we can divide and conquer. Your wife has the right idea for sure! Flybridge vessels are great, lots of entertaining areas and great visibility as the captain from up top. Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words! I appreciate it! Let me know when you’re in the market for your new flybridge 😎 cheers!
That’s super cool to hear you got some value from the video and it’s worth watching again down the road. I really appreciate you watching and sharing. Cheers!

man, thats amazing. is almost impossible to find on youtube a full handover and detailed start up procedure on yachts. Great channel!

Very informative video, i live in central Texas and have never been around a yacht, i saw and learned from your video, thank you. Be safe
The wireless control for this boat is awsome, you can do 2 things at a time.

I was more surprised to hear the generator but then it's always good to hear confirmation of something happeneing
Truly amazing video, you see all these yachts but truly don't know what all is involved with skippering one! Since I can't drive the occasional pontoon boats I rent, I'm in awe of your skill and talent. Thank you for the videos! Love them.
Thank you very much for your really kind words and for sharing your insight. I really appreciate you watching and commenting! Cheers!
That was extremely impressive
Wow thank you very much! I appreciate you watching and commenting! Cheers!
great video. the electronics have gotten way better on these boats. for a minute, i thought the guy in the orange was passed out.
Technology has definitely made massive improvements and is only continuing to do so. interested to see how things like video assisted docking will go over... that one might take me a bit to buy into and trust but things like that only continue to help grow the industry and bring newer boaters in, so I will support that for sure! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers!
Super cool. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙌🏼
Fantastic insight into running a big yacht single handed. Great enjoyable watch🤙
Happy to hear you liked the video! Thank you for watching and commenting. Cheers !
@@ElevateYacht No bother, I recently found your channel and thurely enjoying your content. Would love to see the process of anchoring in a future yacht video 👍
@@tonyosullivan2382 great suggestion! I can definitely do one of those!
@@ElevateYacht cool 🤙
Especially liked that you focused on throttles not thrusters
Good job

Thank you very much for watching and commenting! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏼
Great Job Captain!
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words. Cheers!
beautiful video!
Can't wait to use these skills! Just gotta clock out of my shift at McDonalds and I'll be right over at the docks.
Nice work Dan. Very educational. These videos are a nice supplement for the owner as part of the delivery package. Great service. Greg.
Thank you Greg! I appreciate the kind words and feedback! Cheers
man ... this is soooooo satisfying .. i don't know why
I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and commenting 🙌🏼
Wow...I can't begin to tell you how much fun that was to watch. This is exactly the sort of video I would have wanted to make if I had a decent sized cruiser/trawler yacht...because it is exactly the sort of video that I myself want to see....incredibly interesting to see a solo operator un moor...depart, cruise around and re moor the boat single handed. The best RUclips video I have seen in a long time. Thank you for taking the time to make this...
Thank you so very much for watching and for sharing your kind words and input. This is so nice to hear! I am really happy you enjoyed the video and are getting value from the content. Welcome to the channel! Cheers
So glad the boating season is starting. Can't wait for all of the informational and docking videos you will he putting out.
I am so glad it’s back. It was eating at me not being able to put out new videos for you all. Plenty more videos to come soon! Thank you for watching and commenting! Cheers!
I really like your videos; detailed and straight to the point. My wife would like to retire on a fly bridge boat and I wasn't sure that operating such a big boat would be that fun. You make it look easy. I would like to see how you wash that beast.
There is definitely a whole lot of boat to wash here. Luckily I’ve got a wash crew team that works for me, so we can divide and conquer.
Your wife has the right idea for sure! Flybridge vessels are great, lots of entertaining areas and great visibility as the captain from up top.
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind words! I appreciate it! Let me know when you’re in the market for your new flybridge 😎 cheers!
Thanks for the video dan..defo one for returning to for reference
That’s super cool to hear you got some value from the video and it’s worth watching again down the road. I really appreciate you watching and sharing. Cheers!
