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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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!
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...
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
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.
The 1-3 beat of the Reggae music in the background is very good for the nerves needed for this job.
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,
My absolute dream job. Greeting from Switzerland.
Hey now! Greetings from NYC! Thanks for watching 🤙
One i love tugs, and two , i just love the sound of big marine diesels, fn awesome
Same!!
Big up on the chill reggae/dub 🇯🇲! Bless up and keep safe chief!
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!

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 tug is insane, its like a space ship.
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 a push boat pilot. Always impressed by y’all’s boats and what y’all do.
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!
Wow your tug is like a starship
🖖
I love that🤔 stick figure playlist and boating all day:) sign me up!
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 🙄
Awesome Job 👍Little but very powerful 🚢 💪
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 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.
Very Cool, good job.
I am blown away! Driving such giant ships!
That's one cool pilot house..thanks for sharing man. 👍👍👍
Алексей, спасибо за профессионализм.
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.
That was fascinating. The talent needed is just incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video man, love these full length job videos. Love the camera angle too, keep it up man.
Awesome, thank you!
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.
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 like the design of that bridge and I like the tunes!!!
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.
Wow, what a fun video! That is a sweet boat.
Love your work love your life. Keep it up bro
Great to find, more piloting to understand. Love it! It would be fantastic to have concurrent drone footage.
I enjoyed that more then I thought, great video :)
I like your playlist 😂 Good vibes…
What a brilliant channel. Thanks for sharing your awesome skills 🤘
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Dont know how i come here, but ... impressive. Thats a Spaceship man
Really good stuff. Enjoyed it a lot.
I had no idea how cool these tugboats are. Very impressive.
this is amazing what a job cant wait to see more
God that's such a beautiful fuggin' wheelhouse. It's like you're flying a space ship! Subbed!
This looks like a spaceship cockpit. I love it
I see where inspiration for some of these spaceship cockpits come from.
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
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.
Thanks for the efforts!
What a cool profession. Great video!
From the port of Hampton Roads Norfolk VA I see this often and my hats off to you my man fine job 😎👍🏾
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
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!
unless im mistaken this is the interior of a tugboat. such cool "little boats" so much fun watching them zip around
Thanks for the ride cpt.
Now *that* is a helm station. Very, very cool.
Wow, fascinating stuff. Never been on board a tug before and now I have thanks to you! Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool video! Very calming. I like the way you are handling everything. Greeting from Germany, Hannover.
Thank you very much Sir!
Super interesting, never seen this point of view before. Really cool..started looking at a career change! lol
Like the cockpit of the constellation, just struts everywhere
Very cool to watch, nice job buddy
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.
Worked for McAllister and Moran as a mate back in the Local 333 days. Good memories
Slighty stoopid! Love the music
great vids and background tunes brother
Nice content, Will. Something I haven't seen before.
Finally type of content I was looking for!
First video Ive watch from ya, youtube recommended yiur video and Im definitely interested in your content!
Can you do a tour of your tug? Would love a look around and especially the engine compartment :)
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.
Nice Job
and a "Moin" from Hamburg Germany
First time on your channel. Cool video and thanks for sharing. New subscriber. Hopefully, I'll find a video about your tug.
Damn thats one hell of an office🤠
Looks like that would be a cool job.
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 🫡
Keep at it fellas!! Blue collar life !💪
That swinging radio in front of my face all the time would make me crazy.
Smooth Docking and sailing, hell of a lot better than old singel screw boats and twin screw tugs !
What a great "office" view!
great video my friend
Gr8 work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
good job and nice soundtrack!
Fantastic video
nice office 👍
2:33 That looks so Space Ship-esque. Really cool
Very Cool
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!
Those ships are monstrous
Awesome!
Enjoyed the seeing things from your perspective. If allowed, you might want to consider a lapel microphone.
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
Always great to find another Stick Figure enjoyer😀
I’m more of a Chet Hanks fan myself
Крутая работа чувак👍💪 Респект буксиристам💪
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
Love your video!👌🏻😃 And really love the sound of your engines! What type of engines are they? Beautiful 🤩
Great Vid Loved it !!
skills! good stuff!
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.
Ship assist. WAY better than a video game.
Touché!
Now here's an idea for a simulator video game:
Assisting a large spaceships out of a dock in orbit with a small tug.
