Here it is, the technical tour of the yacht Virtuosity. We split the video as it would have been 40 minutes if we hadn't.
Some issues with the audio in the engine room so we added subtitles to help out when needed.

This has been one of the most comprehensive video tours of any modern Superyacht Engine Room with an onboard ships Engineer describing in minute detail with great pride all the functions of all the Yachts Engineering facilities
I am impressed with the fire extinguishing systems. 11:41
ship's Engineer
My Nephew
That engineer did a BANG-up job, showing and explaining it all. I am SO impressed, and I can't believe he has to do that very often. Seeing the crew quarters is good to convince or dissuade anyone from taking on such jobs. Thanks so much all of you for letting us peek into a world we'd never get a chance to see.
Fantastic tour. Thanks so much to you and the yachts crew.
Wow, what an astounding video of the engine room. I was glued to my computer screen for the entire tour. Now I understand why super yachts are so outrageously expensive... there's a lot of engineering and technology that goes into the building of a yacht. Thanks so much for for showing us around and a big thank you to the second engineer, Timothy, for explaining the workings of the engine room. Great video!!!!
Thanks for such a comprehensive tour. Mind boggling for those who have never seen engineering spaces on a vessel. Thanks.🙏🇨🇦👍
Terrific video of the technical aspects of Virtuosity. The 2nd Engineer is a wonderful guide. Would love to know where/how he attended school to learn all this.
I wondered that as well. In today's workforce it seems people will only take a job if they can look at tiktok on their phones all day. Very encouraging to see there are young professionals like this....I wondered what his academic credentials were (BS EE?) and then it seems there must be loads of tests to get certified for this particular type of ship.
Ee up sysman you did this one so well was so interesting seeing how complex it gets downstairs, really liked your respect for the crews personal space and working environment top job, also good seeing your interaction with our guide who did such nice work for us
Big thanks to the owner & crew for supporting your making a video of this. Hopefully your great job, and the positive feedback in the comments provides comfort to other owners to permit you to do more of these, as this is one of my favorite videos of yours. Great work.
Best one yet... Love the seeing the technical aspects of ships 👍🏼👍🏼
THANK TIM FOR SACRIFICING HIS SNACK AND GIVING A GREAT TOUR,.. AND THANK YOU FOR SACRIFICING YOUR 🦶 FEET FOR THE TOUR 😅💚💚💚
Brilliant !!! - so nice to see the real workings of a vessel, not just the guest areas. And a huge shout out to the Engineer - what a pleasant and informative guy - just goes to show how much is going on and is needed to keep these yachts functioning.
The bridge is gorgeous. If they don't, they could easily put a red filter (effectively, electronically) on those screens, or just take the illumination on them way down, or make it white on black, a night mode with very low total lumens output.
The mechanicals are beautifully finished, even in the 'backstage' mooring station.
Thanks, Tim, you could do radio or TV with that voice of yours. :-) Or the deep bass for an a Capella group. So what do you do for fire suppression when you run out of seawater? Yeah, a hinged water door like that would make me a bit nervous. Get some water depth on the hinged (opening) side, and you'd never get it open.
I enjoyed the almost instantaneous antiphonal laugh on your personal alcohol storage area comment. Took Tim a second, but he got there. Tim was transmitting, probably thinking about what he was going to say next, so understandable. Was it the chef behind you, by any chance?
"Zero speed stabilization". I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. That would be an interesting control loop.
"Missing the 14 for sure". I bought a set recently that included an 18mm, which I have never used in my entire life, and no 17mm, which is pretty common in places like automotive suspensions. Weird. It seems like the next most used to the 14 in automotive work is the 12mm, and the 10 fairly frequently on accessories and body panel bolts and the like.
You can tell the wiring that was afterthought, hanging out of most of the ties on those pretty cable runs. I see that they color code, which is a good thing.
"I don't know how much more detail you want to go into". Personally, my vote is for A LOT, one aspect being more discussion on the main engines. That starter is a beast! It would take a whole pile of BTUs to cool that place. Waste heat off that motor and to a much lesser extent some of that other equipment, is just a bit significant. Can I assume that the exhaust is water jacketed? Yeah, tie two generators directly out of phase and you don't get much out.
You gave away another line here that makes me think you are an engineer. Do you know which one? Hint: It was six words long. LOL, right after that, another more obvious one, same length. Now you're just giving it away for free! :-) Great tour, I really enjoy these tech tours, and that second engineer took a lot of his time and gave a very good and extensive one. Amazing the differences in responses you get from different boats, isn't it? I expect it reflects their owner's, in many cases, or just someone further down with a fiefdom/holding onto what little power they've got, complex. That type of person gets tiresome in a hurry.
Have a lot more appreciation for this yacht.... that'a a lot of equipment working to care for the guests.
i cannot completely express how phenomenally brilliant this episode has been. thank you so much for arranging and for shooting this fantastic tour.
it's so easy for the technical brilliance of these vessels, and the deep professionalism of the crews, to be glossed-over by the luxury and the glamour visible from dockside. thank you. -C
E-Man...holy smokes dude...this is soooo interesting....coupla things....your engineering officer guide...super intelligent guy..for a young guy, humbly he exudes knowledge and confidence of every CM on this ship. Also, my bad old nickname in the navy was "buss-tie baker" because back in the 80's we (Vietnam era destoyers) we were three abreast on shorepower and I was the duty Electrician (the worse electrician ever in the Navy 🤣🤪🤓) I incorrectly flipped the bus-tie breaker and killed power to all three ships. It took almost 3 hours for the boilers to fire up so we could start the generators....TOTAL FAIL...but, what I really wanted to say was how IMMACULATE all of those engineering spaces were....Amazing tour E-Man! Thank you so much!
Fantastic tour. Thank you and thanks to the owner and crew for so generously sharing their time and space. You can see they take pride in their work for good reason.
crew of the Virtuosity, Thank you for a great tour.
Excellent video, great technical review. thank you
very very nice , well done by the engineer , be sure to thank them , and all involved . and thank you for that series
I had to put tape over the LED on my bedroom smoke detector because it was bright enough for me to notice it blink on with my eyes closed.
The engineer did a very good job explaining everything.
The tour of the engine area was fantastic, thankyou to that engineer! Most tours get a cursory "These are the engines, this is how much power they have" - so something a little more in depth was very interesting
Thank you to the crew and owner for allowing you to film all this behind the scenes. So interesting. Thanks sir ❤
That was great. Thanks to the crew and owner for allowing this.
Engine room tour was beyond cool. I'll never have the opportunity to see something like that any where else besides RUclips most likely. Very cool.
That was an amazing tour! What a privilege to get the tour from the engineer!!
Needless to say, an awesome tour. One of the best yet.
The kitchens, pantries, engine rooms are my favorite parts of the boat. If i owned a yacht that large, i would still probably hang out in those areas, and annoy the crew.
We used voice powered phones exclusively aboard ship in the Navy back in the 60s. I don't recall them having any kind of crank, and I think they were open to all terminals at the same time.
That is a large engineering space.
Loved the tour, especially a treat with crew part!
This is probably one of the best tours i have ever seen and down to specific for every working system on a SY.
I never knew it was that involved , but like i have said in other comments i have made , like 2 years ago i never gave a rats ass about SY's but now i find them very interesting .
Thanx eSysman
Very very interesting..such a complicated system, literally like running a small city and this kid did a really good job explaining the system to idiots like me👍
Esysman great vids. I want to see a MY with large portions of the hull made of glass. Everyone loves looking at what is under water. Make it so.
What a site that must be. Endless hours of entertainment. People want more nature.@@MXYZPTLK..
I would love to see some pictures of the high end examples@@MXYZPTLK..
I would watch that little octopus for hours@@MXYZPTLK..
They gave you the warm welcome you deserve. PLC=Programmable Logic Controller. That's a good field to get into for young people entering the work place. Pays good with good increases as your experience increases.
Another great video!
Loved the engine room tour. Amazing plumbing and electrics. Well done as usual.
Very interesting! Thanks!
Excellent video. And many thanks to the crew of this vessel
Far more interesting than the usual marble toilets and other golden pretentious mermaid sculptures in the staircase.
👍
Thanks for sharing this video . I've always loved M/Y space architecture and this one is really nice one .
Great explanation about the phase synchronization in paralleling. It is a real problem, and one of the reasons why it takes a lot of time to get a power plant back on-line after it tripped.
Fascinating. Excellent insight into the ‘below decks’ operations. Thank you.
Excellent miniature complete systems for living. Quite like every modern city infrastructure in the world. Fully the world in a bottle. Great video.
THANKS ESYSMAN,FOR A GREAT TOUR…IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HILARIOUS…IF THAT WAS THE DAYHEAD 😮😅💚💚💚
I really enjoyed hearing from crew and seeing how they live although would have been nice to see their cabins. Having served on a submarine the accomodations on the boat is amazing.
Love to hear from an owner, I've been watching for yrs and don't remember hearing their side, can't be all roses.
Thanks for your work.
5 Star tour!! A real treat especial!!!
Impressive. I greatly appreciate the viewing. Thank you.
That was an absolutely brilliant tour! I didn't know that you were so tall.
Amazing video. The complexity of these machines. One of your best VLOG’s!!
I watch all of your posts; this is my first-time commenting. I really enjoyed seeing behind the scenes. Very interesting.
an incredible insight into behind the scenes, great presentation, thank you.
THAT was AWESOME!! Thank you for sharing.
Great tour of the yacht, what is the average range of a yacht ?
I enjoy tours, especially yours, many thanks
Sweet. Beautiful inside and out!!
Wonderful episode! Thank you so much!!
And love how you started immediately With the bridge, that's the best.
I love these tech vids - eng spaces were always my favorite.
We had to watch a spinning phase meter before throwing the breaker to parallel power. There was a delay in the breaker closing so they said close the switch at 9 o’clock so the breaker would actually close at 12 o’clock position which is 0 phase differential. A trainee thought they meant the actual clock instead of the phase meter so he threw the breaker almost 180 out of phase damaging the breaker 😅😅😅
50 million and you still need tape 😂
All the best to everyone
Thank you for this incredible tour. Amazing to realize just how much goes into building one of these yachets.
Excellent video, so much information. Thank you.
Great tour, so indepth...never too long by the way👋👋👍
Fantastic. Thanks for this.
Mr eSysman you are awesome
awesome... gonna be on Koningsdam to San Diego soon and just may take a similar tour - between rest breaks. thanks for sharing, enjoy
I love this video - and indeed, it is truly one of a kind, and genuinely appreciated. Just one critical addition however - specifically, the actual reason for inverted glass on the bridge (Note tugboats, etc., where they are definitely NOT concerned about creature comforts on the bridge!), is that it eliminates the sunlight glare, especially on the water itself, with sunrise in particular. Keep the great educational videos like this one coming it does more good for the industry itself than may be realized. Geoff Rohde
I don't think I said the reason they make the windows on the bridge is for the crew, I said that one of the effects is that it is cooler. This also helps the equipment as it's often hard to keep it cool.
@@eSysmanSuperYachts With all respect to you, eSysman - I do understand your point, but I have to tell you that historically, inverted glass on bridges has been around since a LONG time before electronics et-al, with the (certainly original) reason for it being, that it completely prevents glare on the bridge glass. It may as well be noted that it is still in use to this day, and indeed, far more commonly among commercial boats of all sizes (i.e. check out the Galveston Texas "Mosquito Fleet", including circa 15 meter boats) than among anything in the yacht world. I do also wish to say that I do sincerely appreciate all that you do, and even ,more so, your response herein. Thanks again, Geoff Rohde
Really enjoyed this tour. Gee the crew facilities look not only small but very minimalistic. Thank you.
Fascinating. Thanks.
Thanks for the good fun !! : )
Excellent video .... well done .
Unbelievable technical stuff.
Thank for a unique and outstanding tour! One. Big. W O W.
.
Mr. Sysman, I have been enjoying your videos for a very long time, and I must say that this is one of my favorites. Brilliant idea of yours to make this technical tour video. I really enjoyed it. That kind engineer did a fantastic job as well, generously showing us the inner workings of that magnificent yacht. Thank you for this!
Great video and tour of the systems. It's mind boggling to me with all the engineering, safety systems, and protocols, that you still occasionally have to report on accidents and fires aboard vessels. By the way, if you can't fit that 4th Super Model on the bed just send her my way, I'll be happy to lighten that burden, lol.
Wow! Very interesting.
The difference between a normal SuperYacht an a really huge boat like 110+ in the Engine room is significant... :)
I laugh at a memory working on a commercial self unloader. The Captain constantly wanted more RPMs from the engine than the Chief Engineer thought prudent. The solution was simple; the Chief Engineer tweeked the rev counter on the bridge to show 10% more revs solely on the bridge deck - Solutions for both the Captain and the Chief !
Great tour
Nice yacht chan!
Thanks for the very excellent in detail tour.....l enjoyed it very very much❣....Thanks again my friend and i sure do like your channel with a lot of great content 👍
Old Flying Shoe🇺🇸
Fine point about the commonly poor lighting in the bridge.
Fascinating
Really great video! Do they ever run engines under maximum power? Always wondered if that was just a regular size boat thing or if applies to all?
Bright indicator lights around the bridge at night are a pain. Normally build specs require all lights to be dimmable, but the yard has no control over COTS equipment. Smoked glass doors over the panels can help or I used to hang a blackout curtain at night. Then peak in occasionally to make sure everything was still working.
Vertical bridge windows are good, forward sloping is even better. Have been on some where the "dashboard" area is 64C (149F) with AC running max chat. Good tour of the system by the 2nd Engr.
Great episode. Please make similar about 60/70th Feadships 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would like to know the number of skilled trades that are involved in creating such a beautiful yacht and the organization of all of the complex pieces of equipment that work in harmony. Technically this is beautiful piece of engineering. Very impressive video. Nice documentation
Just imagining what a tour like this would look like on my canoe...
I'm surprised the night vision problems with lights is an issue in this day and age. I remember back in the day when I ran BMWs in the 1980s and 90s, they had red/orange lighting on the dashboard because it was known that light at the red end of the spectrum did not interfere with night vision, and some of the audio equipment suppliers like Blaupunkt had switchable green or red colours on their displays to fit in with the car dashboard, which I thought was a good idea. The general lighting in submarines switched to red when the captain wanted to use the periscope at night, for the same reason. You would think the high end superyacht builders would have thought of this, but apparently not. Captain Sticky Tape on the bridge!
I installed photo resistor to control some led indicator lights I installed. Darker the cabin, darker the led. Really simple thing to do, and super cheap to do. 2:45
I likt to see the crew area because it shows what the owner thinks of his crew.
Your best ever
Virtuosity must be bargain priced for its size, yet 12 crew seems a bit light for a superyacht.
Nice video! I was wondering how does the crew get these jobs?
There are a number of videos about the process. They take classes on the position plus first aid and then a certain number of hours learning the position. Then move up to the next one and start the process again. Not sure if Esysman has covered it or not. I think he has but not sure.
man Ill tellya that I have never seen such clean engine rooms on a ship like those on SY's, from motor sailers and cargos to millitary ships I been on and sometimes crewed would normally have lube oil, dust and moisture around.
Riveting tour. If your channel was all this, it would be awesome. I realize there are other channels that do just this though. The time went by so quickly, then it was over.
It was great to be able to see the crew quarters. Any engineering spaces
That engineer just inspiredme to become one
There must be Millions of Dollars in the engineering part of this yacht, because everything has to be so involved with incredible numbers of systems required whether it is 50, 75 or 100 meters long. The systems are the same, they would just be larger with bigger pipes and tanks. I wouldn't want to be the one who has to polish all of that stainless steel on the engineering deck, especially since there are windows for the passengers to see all of that gleaming shine even on the exhaust system and railings.
And all this for just 10 passengers,
Rather overwhelming
You're thinking like a cruise ship, rather than a home at sea. And most of this is required by regulations.
Would like to see the machinery closer next tour plz...thanks Eman
Great tour by you and the 2nd. Engineer! Why is there a disk brake on the shaft? Thank you.
A marine engineer's dream: a brand new boat. ❤
The only use for the crank on the sound powered phones is to cause the other phones on the circuit to ring. They need no power at all in order for you to talk and hear.
Thanks for a great tour. The lack of headroom in the ER is terrible and surely impairs maintenance. This is just poor engineering by the shipyard as the increased cost for headroom is minimal given the overall cost of the yacht. This also suggests that there may be further maintenance challenges with insufficient working space when a motor or filter is installed. It is easy to ignore working space when trying to cram in equipment. As the hull number increases on a new design, the shipyard can start to recognize their errors (like bridge lights that are too bright. )
