I'm damn near 50 now. I have done a lot of things in my life. Not very often I see a job that impresses me much anymore. This is one hell of a gig. Congrats to all you have done to get to where you are. Oh and to counter a point I see below. There is a whole lot of value in silence... IE not talking. The radio chatter is all a person needs to hear to know what is being done. Their eyes are all that is needed to see how you execute the input to get the desired output. The music in the cabin, the acoustic qualities of the cabin. That is what it sounds like, that is the job, the environment. Far to many people want this finely curated distraction pumped into their brain... Zen is being in the moment.. not trying to make the moment fit them.
I was in the Coast Guard, stationed at Governors Island and interacted a bunch with the tug operators, and all of them were old types. If I had seen one guy your age, I might’ve gone this way. Really cool, and thanks for posting.
Nice video. I have stood on a bridge many times in the past as tugs did their job. I would really like you to make a video to explain the power plant and how you manoeuvre one of these tugs. They are so different to standard vessels.
I watch some random stuff, can't beat this though... Sunshine and water, sweet tunes and the hum of the engine, staring out the front of your starship looking bridge. Can even listen to this without watching.
I love it when he picks a spot and keeps on it. Watch something inside like one of the wiper bits and compare it to where it stays in relation to the ship.
Love the music choice! Being a younger guy and the top dog i can only imagine how hard you have worked over the years to achieve that position. I am a equipment operator and the controls and engine compartment seem so interesting to me. If you ever get a chance that would be cool to see how the controls work and what size engine and all that stuff.
Great video. Love to hear brief explanations of what's going on, but not too much. I felt like i got to pull up a chair and join you. Really enjoyed it.
Such a cool angle to watch this finesse! But hey, a headset mic with a PTT on one of the helm controls would seem to be a major improvement to a swinging CB mic from "Convoy"?? OVER
Thanks for sharing your office with us! I would never have seen something like this had I not come upon your video! How did you end up in your position? Was your family in maritime growing up? Looks like an interesting job! Thanks again!
Holy hell times have changed i used to work at the dry dock at pearl harbor, Hawaii than at Pier 21 and all i did was repair tug boats being at peir 21 thats all we did. The captains seat did not look like this. Look like the captain was going to war lol this is sweet aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾wait is that reggea music i hear lol yeah you we jammin
Another awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along. One question: who is giving the direction to you during the operation? Is it coming from the pilot on board the ship or is it coming from a lead tug? Looking forward to more of these and also a tour of the technical spaces. Thanks for making such awesome content!
Great content and fascinating job. One tip, use a lapel mic maybe a rode wireless go II so we can hear your voice it will make the video pop. Sound is everything.
Mad respect for the work you do. It’s very interesting how tugs work. I wish you had more camera angles to show the process. A couple of GoPros outside would make for some good angles
How can I get a job like yours? I love tug boats! I live in SE Alaska, I’ve been on. Couple tugs, ran my uncles seiner a few seasons. I’ve been all over Prince of Wales, Sitka, Petersburg etc in my boat. This looks really fun!
0.57 i thought this was a huge ship simulator and the graphics were glitching out. But in other note. Im very jealous of your job! May the sea be your friend!
I enjoyed your video very much, I wanted to work on tugs when I was a young man but a distraction came before my dream but I enjoyed my career path all the same. I would like to make a few suggestions if I can? 1) As the video goes can you explain what you are doing in real time? 2) Can you turn off the music it's a distraction, You know what you are doing but we don't that is why we are watching you, I have never seen the inside or the operation of a Tiger tug I find it VERY INTERESTING. 3) What Harbor are you working out of? I would also find that interesting, I wish you well, and thanks for the video. PS Speak up you are hard to hear and It's not me I have perfect hearing,
Thanks for your input sir! I’ll work on the sound and be more detailed while doing the job. This is NYC Harbor. Enjoy the day! Thanks again for watching!!
Holy shit, that is THE nicest, cleanest, newest tug ive ever seen. I thought they came out of the factory banged up and rusty lol
😂🤣😂 Thank you Sir!
I like the view of the inside of your boat, its what I'd imagine a spaceship cockpit to look like

Thank you so much!! You get it!! I truly appreciate your words and taking the time to write them!! 🫡
Tell me about what youve done and learned in those 50 years old wise man
There's two awesome soundtracks happening here, the music and the sound of the motor. Sweet tunes.
Exactly! Awesome to watch this man work, but I want his playlist!
pass thee herb ....pass thee herb...
The 1-3 beat of the Reggae music in the background is very good for the nerves needed for this job.
Wow your tug is like a starship. I have fond feeling for tugboats they saved us on a terrible storm crossing from France to uk. Thumbs up.
Big up on the chill reggae/dub 🇯🇲! Bless up and keep safe chief!
My absolute dream job. Greeting from Switzerland.
Hey now! Greetings from NYC! Thanks for watching 🤙
that tug is insane, its like a space ship.
This pilot is a true craftsman. Anytime one can make a difficult job look easy is a true master. 👍👍
oh no
its not rocket science,
oh my god this is some cool stuff right there, i LOVE tugboats! it would be nice if there were multiple camera angles of your tugboat doing its thing.
I’ll do my best! Thanks for watching!
I didn't really know what I started watching and at 00:22 I was like: Holy Mackerels! Is that a green sky and a pink sea at sunset??
Exactly what i thought hahah or it wqs a filter screen over the windows
OMG me too!!! D'oh 🙄
One i love tugs, and two , i just love the sound of big marine diesels, fn awesome
Same!!
I was in the Coast Guard, stationed at Governors Island and interacted a bunch with the tug operators, and all of them were old types. If I had seen one guy your age, I might’ve gone this way. Really cool, and thanks for posting.
Thank you for your service Sir 🫡
The USCG used to visit my school on Governors Island pretty often, we had a maritime program operating vessels and scuba diving right off the pier!
That power from that/ those engine/s is immense. It is nice to see the perspective from the tug, beautiful work.
Love videos like this great work . Not many videos of tugs moving ships from the cab .
Much appreciated 🤙
I’m an equipment operator and it always fascinates me to watch someone doing something completely different but still mechanical. Great video!!
Thanks for watching!
I love that🤔 stick figure playlist and boating all day:) sign me up!
Wow your tug is like a starship
🖖
From an(Ex) Mariner to another, mighty fine shiphandling my friend. Take a bow.
Thank you sir! Much appreciated 🫡
The bow. I see what you did there.
A bulbous bow
I’m a push boat pilot. Always impressed by y’all’s boats and what y’all do.
Very Cool, good job.
Awesome Job 👍Little but very powerful 🚢 💪

This is so much fun to watch and also super relaxing. When the
Channel grows more it would be cool to see a 360 camera outside.
Алексей, спасибо за профессионализм.
Awesome video man, love these full length job videos. Love the camera angle too, keep it up man.
Awesome, thank you!
I love it when he picks a spot and keeps on it. Watch something inside like one of the wiper bits and compare it to where it stays in relation to the ship.
Dont know how i come here, but ... impressive. Thats a Spaceship man
God that's such a beautiful fuggin' wheelhouse. It's like you're flying a space ship! Subbed!
Actually I was on the bridge at that time. It’s quite a special experience to see our ship from this angle thanks for the video
I am blown away! Driving such giant ships!
That's one cool pilot house..thanks for sharing man. 👍👍👍
I'm amazed he doesn't have handsfree radio... but then again it's not like he's texting and tugging... which would be weird in a few different ways.
Fantastic..... I always thought being a Tug Captain would be an exciting job!! Mike.
Thanks Mike!!
trouble is your told what to do all the time.
@@brian.7966be kinda pointless if you just went out pushing stuff around of your own accord
@@gazrayt😂
@@brian.7966do you really want to freelance tugging a 100 bil ship
As a boat owner for a few years and one of my primary goals is not to run into another boat, it is really cool watching someone do it on purpose.
From the port of Hampton Roads Norfolk VA I see this often and my hats off to you my man fine job 😎👍🏾
Love the music choice! Being a younger guy and the top dog i can only imagine how hard you have worked over the years to achieve that position. I am a equipment operator and the controls and engine compartment seem so interesting to me. If you ever get a chance that would be cool to see how the controls work and what size engine and all that stuff.
I like your playlist 😂 Good vibes…
My man playing some tropidelic! Love the music styling of this man. Will come out to Ohio in August for everwild!
Also you are doing some technically awesome work my man!
I see where inspiration for some of these spaceship cockpits come from.
I like the design of that bridge and I like the tunes!!!
Very coordinated work and super smooth. Well done sir. What is the cost for the service of just one tug?
Great to find, more piloting to understand. Love it! It would be fantastic to have concurrent drone footage.
That was fascinating. The talent needed is just incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Love to hear brief explanations of what's going on, but not too much. I felt like i got to pull up a chair and join you. Really enjoyed it.
unless im mistaken this is the interior of a tugboat. such cool "little boats" so much fun watching them zip around
Slighty stoopid! Love the music
Like the cockpit of the constellation, just struts everywhere
Such a cool angle to watch this finesse!
But hey, a headset mic with a PTT on one of the helm controls would seem to be a major improvement to a swinging CB mic from "Convoy"?? OVER
What a brilliant channel. Thanks for sharing your awesome skills 🤘
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
This looks like a spaceship cockpit. I love it
Wow, what a fun video! That is a sweet boat.
Enjoyed the seeing things from your perspective. If allowed, you might want to consider a lapel microphone.
I enjoyed that more then I thought, great video :)
Now *that* is a helm station. Very, very cool.
Cool video! Very calming. I like the way you are handling everything. Greeting from Germany, Hannover.
Thank you very much Sir!
First video Ive watch from ya, youtube recommended yiur video and Im definitely interested in your content!
Damn thats one hell of an office🤠
Love your work love your life. Keep it up bro
Can you do a tour of your tug? Would love a look around and especially the engine compartment :)
I had no idea how cool these tugboats are. Very impressive.
Thanks for the efforts!
Thanks for sharing your office with us! I would never have seen something like this had I not come upon your video! How did you end up in your position? Was your family in maritime growing up? Looks like an interesting job! Thanks again!
Keep at it fellas!! Blue collar life !💪
Worked for McAllister and Moran as a mate back in the Local 333 days. Good memories
I have had the opportunity of going on pilot boats and tag along with pilots and watch them at work. You guys on the tugs ROCK !! Love the vid
Very Cool
this is amazing what a job cant wait to see more
2:33 That looks so Space Ship-esque. Really cool
Holy hell times have changed i used to work at the dry dock at pearl harbor, Hawaii than at Pier 21 and all i did was repair tug boats being at peir 21 thats all we did. The captains seat did not look like this. Look like the captain was going to war lol this is sweet aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾wait is that reggea music i hear lol yeah you we jammin
Way cool! Thanks for watching!! Hell yeah that was some reggae 🤙
Wow, fascinating stuff. Never been on board a tug before and now I have thanks to you! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your video!👌🏻😃 And really love the sound of your engines! What type of engines are they? Beautiful 🤩
Finally type of content I was looking for!
Really good stuff. Enjoyed it a lot.
First time on your channel. Cool video and thanks for sharing. New subscriber. Hopefully, I'll find a video about your tug.
What a cool profession. Great video!
Super interesting, never seen this point of view before. Really cool..started looking at a career change! lol
nice office 👍
Another awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along. One question: who is giving the direction to you during the operation? Is it coming from the pilot on board the ship or is it coming from a lead tug? Looking forward to more of these and also a tour of the technical spaces. Thanks for making such awesome content!
Much appreciated! The docking pilot on the ship is giving me orders
Always great to find another Stick Figure enjoyer😀
I’m more of a Chet Hanks fan myself
Thanks for the ride cpt.
Great content and fascinating job. One tip, use a lapel mic maybe a rode wireless go II so we can hear your voice it will make the video pop. Sound is everything.
I worked on the Ohio pushing coal up and down for a while. Somehow found myself at this video and still entertained.
That thumb nail is why your video is blowing up. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
great vids and background tunes brother
Im sure you are familiar with port everglades and government cut in south florida. I kayak fish here all the time and I'm sure the tugs hate me. 🤣
Mad respect for the work you do. It’s very interesting how tugs work. I wish you had more camera angles to show the process. A couple of GoPros outside would make for some good angles
How can I get a job like yours?
I love tug boats!
I live in SE Alaska, I’ve been on. Couple tugs, ran my uncles seiner a few seasons. I’ve been all over Prince of Wales, Sitka, Petersburg etc in my boat.
This looks really fun!
0.57 i thought this was a huge ship simulator and the graphics were glitching out. But in other note. Im very jealous of your job! May the sea be your friend!
cracking footage.. i love tug boats i am currently studying to try and become a tug skipper myself will. Take care, i will see you on the next watch.
Thank you sir! Enjoy the journey 🫡
Looks like that would be a cool job.
Very cool to watch, nice job buddy
Nice content, Will. Something I haven't seen before.
Have to say you have skills to do that job with schotelles would much rather have the power of voith behind me so well done captain
Smooth Docking and sailing, hell of a lot better than old singel screw boats and twin screw tugs !
That swinging radio in front of my face all the time would make me crazy.
What a great "office" view!
I enjoyed your video very much, I wanted to work on tugs when I was a young man but a distraction came before my dream but I enjoyed my career path all the same. I would like to make a few suggestions if I can? 1) As the video goes can you explain what you are doing in real time?

I agree on all points
Thanks for your input sir! I’ll work on the sound and be more detailed while doing the job. This is NYC Harbor. Enjoy the day! Thanks again for watching!!
