LOL. Are you kidding? I am hoping to be drunk in a far off land with a very beautiful girl by my side that can't live with out me when I retire. LOL. Thank you for watching Chuck. CUOTO
Tim, this is awesome... I love watching you and your associates doing what you do. This one is especially fun... see, I built an RC tug that has towed me, my wife, and my daughter in our kayaks. A 35 lb, 3½ ft long tug pulling over 700 pounds. I have a video of it on my RUclips channel, "Tugboat "Atlantic" taking the load". I kept ventilating my azipod props until I got it fixed, but so far I have measured just over 9lbs bollard pull. There's a lot more there, but I haven't had a chance to try again recently. Anyway... watching you and Cape Ann Towing maneuver this yacht is a lot of fun. Mainly because I am learning how to do the same thing with my 17ft, 300 lb kayak coming on and off the dock. I'm actually learning tricks on here of how to do it better myself!
I found you channel about 2 weeks ago. I'm 64 now and live in NY but you bring me back to my childhood when my father use to a captain for the the Red Stack Tugboat in California. And going out with him on the tug to pull out The Queen Elizabeth and other ships from port. Thank you Scott W.
Wow, very different from your normal task. loved to see you and your friends! As for him... imagine, not only the pressure of the obscenely expensive yacht under tow, but also, making it look easy and perfect, and showing off for his friend (you)!
Another grand day of tugging!😄 What I find most admirable in this profession is imagining you guys doing the same in the most adverse conditions- night, dense fog, chop, wind, and who knows what else I’m forgetting. It’s always enjoyable to watch a tradesman in top form executing finely honed skills. Thanks Tim B.
There's never any rush, as the schedule is more flexible than the bow. So just wait a spell til the conditions are right. The log entry for that is 'Wx' signifying Weatherbound
It reminds me of when I was at the Hotel Coronado in San Diego years ago, looking out my room's window. The Navy was docking an aircraft carrier in much the same way as depicted here. But, as I recall, it took them 3-4 hours to do it.
Great video and very skillful boat handling. Did the yacht use a bow thruster to assist moving the fwd end to the dock? Can't even imagine how much money is floating in the water down there but it employs many people to service all the rich folks toys. Noticed that the yacht is registered in the Caymen Islands, avoiding some US taxes I assume. Thanks for another great video and to Cape Ann towing.
I lived in Boca Raton for a couple of years and loved watching the activity in Port Everglades and Ft. Lauderdale. I really liked watching the activity that revolves around the super yacht industry. It was impressive watching all the tugs position the yachts for FLIBS, the boat show. Great video!
Fun look into the world of the rich and famous! Way back in the 70’s when I was in the Coast Guard in New London, we got a call from the Captain of the Yacht owned by the owner of Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas. They were going to dock at Mystic Seaport but were unfamiliar with the Mystic river and bridges. The Yacht was about 125 feet, so it was a challenge. I volunteered to ride along on my own time as a pilot. That was quite a fun trip. Barely inches to spare getting through the RT. 1 bridge. The yacht was incredible, and so were some of the young ladies aboard!
Awesome video Capt Tim. I sure appreciated how those two tugs finessed that large motor yacht into that narrow berth. Well done and very professional! Great teamwork too!
That was a blast! So neat to see the aft tug actually in forward gear, pulling against the load. Loved it when he dropped one line; you could “feel” the pivot! Thanks SO much, everyone! Fascinating to see that done without touching the wheel! You’ve inspired me to try playing my engines against each other to steer.
There's lots of "fun" to be had playing with twin screws. Once that gets old hat for you throw the rudder(s) in and you'll start "laughing" at tides, currents, and "parallel parking". THEN you can start all over again with a single screw when you're ready to downsize... Life IS good!
We have a 37 footer and without a bow thruster, that’s just how you dock. My husband is the captain, but I am learning this year as I am the first mate, lol.
You all are terrific professionals, we can all learn regardless of your profession when you watch someone who is really good at what they do. A suggestion - spend a day on a fireboat, preferably the newest one in FDNY
Wow, this video "hit home"! Some day I will tell you the story of when I waited almost 7 hours for a tow one night while running a 100' Burger which went "dead" in the water off the battery. I lost all power, including the gennys, so a few panic-stricken pax called the marine police....what a mess...traumatic at the time; but really funny in retrospect!
Haha... Leave it to a captain to go hang out on a boat with another captain when on vacation. :-D I have seen this taking place when down in Florida, so I found this very interesting to see how it works. That white boat is a pretty nice tub as well.... Don't scratch it!
Looks like that childhood island produced at least 2 very talented Captains! Thoroughly enjoyed this alternative look at another part of the industry. CUOTO!
lol don't mind me going back to a lot of your older videos. Now knowing what it's all about, I can now start to watch all of the things I have not viewed. and yes I can tell this was early tech video from back a year and more. I still think you really did a great job, even with out the new tech stuff your running in 2022. CUOTO 👍👍👍
What????? That's amazing. Very Cool. David B and I grew up together. Love the old Laura B. Jimmy used to take me down in the morning in the engine room and I would unscrew the grease caps an hand them to him while he would fill them with grease and I would put them back on the shaft. Cool Taylor, thanks for checking in. CUOTO
Very interesting video Capt, I’m probably good for a substantial bit of finds for that yacht since I love his product (especially with beer) LOL. Please keep your productions coming and be safe and healthy.
Thank you very much for watching. I was back down in FLL 2 weekends ago and shot Cape Ann Towing a 160 footer through the New River. Video to come. If you are new to the channel, Welcome. Please consider subscribing. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Going up the creek I realised how big the mega yacht business is. Then two tugs dancing like two fire fly’s round a flame. They knew exactly how far to go. The tugs both with brut power and the fineness of control. Totally different and still showing local knowledge and boat handling skills to its best. CUOTO Amacf
Another great video Tim. Good to see you spectating on a very different tug. All done single-handed andjust using the enginesand bot the wheel. Your friend is just so composed .....years of experience
Oh wow! It's the actual Captain Chris! Welcome to the channel and a big big thank you for taking me along. As you can see in the comments, your incredible skills are being appreciated by the masses. Hope to see you on the 20th. CUOTO
Wow what an interesting video! I love watching this kinda close quarter maneuvering whether it's you doin it or something new like this. Thanks for keeping me entertained, Cap!
I saw Courtney today!. I've been his A/C guy for a while now. I told him I've been watching your videos for a few years. We got a kick out of it. Very cool. Love your stuff Tim 👍
Another excellent video from Capt. Tim!! As the old saying goes "Know what you know, Know what you DON'T know even better" Your explanations of what Cape Ann's tugs were doing made perfect sense and like you said each specialty has its own tricks.
Really enjoyed interview with captain Chuck, wish I could hear more of this stuff. Spent twenty two years on ships mostly tankers, last eight on harbour tugs.
Cool stuff, Tim! Those guys know what they're doing, that's for sure. It helps that those boats steer that easy with just the props. Sort of a skidsteer on the water. Nice!
Tim, Like the video? I loved it! Well done Cpt Courtney & Chris easing them in with "Soapsuds and a shoehorn" dont scratch that "White Boat Chamois Shine" With out mentioning names that Particular White Boat name rings a bell Im sure ive seen her in the Queensland Game Fishing Circus ......i mean Circles! CUOTO Scotty
Always interesting video Tim. Boat handling is a master piece. And you show good examples. Including your selves. Using two engines, is great art, when you know how 👍👍👍 hope you will wisit your friend more times. Sorry for bad English 🤪 greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
Dear Sir, different skill set for that clientèle.., in my humble opinion you are a real gentleman , capable captain so......., kind regards from Holland .
Those tugs are definite tractors, almost positive drive to the water, seeing the aft tug spinning on its axis near the end at 21:36 was incredible! Hope you enjoyed Florida!
@@TimBatSea I have a 17 foot center console I need to get rid of, my wife doesn't enjoy it and its no fun by myself and boating is getting expensive down here, maybe a sailboat next time.
Another great video. I would like to see the tugs take the boat out. It seems like the rear tug should be facing forward and run with astern power. Going backwards makes me worry about the rear tug's fantail getting swamped.
It is always fun to watch/listen to a Captain, also appreciate another man's skills. You are truly watch something interesting. We see these whiteness pass under the Blue Water Bridge at Port Huron/ Sarnia Canada up bound for parts unknown 😀.
Thank you for watching the Drew. I have some unproduced content I shot last spring in Fort Lauderdale of a much bigger boat (Blue Sky) being towed by Cape Ann. I just haven't found the time to put it together. Stand by. CUOTO
Very cool!!!! You had so many great angles and views. Perfect!!! Great memories. When I was on the yachts, I never saw what was going on aboard the CAT boats (as an electronics tech, I was just trying to stay out of everyone's way). The wait for the video was well worth it. Thanks for creating awesome videos. CUOTO!
I always loved watching Gilligan’s Island, especially when they changed the theme song to include The Professor and Mary Ann, the instead of just saying, “and the rest”! Also, the first season was in black and white.
Tim, nice video. I never thought how a mega yacht moved about in a harbor area. But dog gone, you showed us how its done the proper way. Thanks to the 2 Captains to let you video. I enjoyed the heck out of this video. Not that i do not enjoy 95% of your work. Hope you are well and safe.
Very interesting and unique video. Never seen a mega yacht tow video with this amount of detail and good camerawork. Both tug helmsman did a great job. I did not realize how big the yacht was until you got off of the tug. Looks like it takes a LOT of experience to do what they are doing. Thanks for making great content!
That's cool. It must have seemed like everything was happening at lightning speed! No time to think. Speaking as a guy who spent a two years running launches and docking boats at a yacht club (albeit 40 years ago), that was a pleasure to watch!
Great Video! I understand the physics involved in this iteration but how it is used is much harder to grasp. The skill involved as well as the specific techniques are flat out amazing. Best wishes and a big thank you to the folks at Cape Ann Towing for taking us along. CUOTO Ed
Nothing like trying to parallel park a super yacht in a tight space. Awesome work by Captain Day of the Cape Ann. I'm curious to what vessel Capt Day skippers for his own recreation? Cheers and #CUOTO.
Thank you for watching William. I don't think he knows how to recreate. Lol. He works all the time. (Maybe he'll jump in here and answer directly). CUOTO
Tim, this is why I keep looking forward to your videos. You always find a way to change-it-up and keep things so interesting! What an example and display of seriously serious boat handling outside of your normal experience and expertise on the tugs. I’ve done some things here-and-there on the water but don’t even own a boat and yet here I am.... watching with absolute fascination!
Great job!
And an interesting viewpoint of a different type of towage.
Thanks for sharing this with us, Tim!
Best wishes.
Thank you for watching Darren. CUOTO
That was awesome Captain Tim. Neat tugs and some fine work there. Maybe a retirement gig for you when you’re done with the big tugs. CUOTO.
LOL. Are you kidding? I am hoping to be drunk in a far off land with a very beautiful girl by my side that can't live with out me when I retire. LOL. Thank you for watching Chuck. CUOTO

Thank you (i think) for watching. CUOTO
Nothing runs like a Deere. Those little tugboats are mighty strong.
They sure are! Of course they also say nothing smells like a John. LOL Only kidding. I am a huge fan! Thank you for watching Geoffrey. CUOTO

Thanks for creating awesome videos. CUOTO!
Thank you very much Kirk! And a big thank you for supporting the channel. CUOTO
Thank you. Very interesting.
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Incredible video! It’s fascinating to see an aspect of boating that’s so specialized. Thanks, Tim.
Thank you for watching! CUOTO
I always loved watching Gilligan’s Island, especially when they changed the theme song to include The Professor and Mary Ann, the instead of just saying, “and the rest”! Also, the first season was in black and white.
Thank you fir watching Mitchell. CUOTO
Super cool great video
Thank you very much Adam. CUOTO
Great video and experience!
Thank you for watching. If you are new to the channel, Welcome. I try to post new content every Tuesday. CUOTO
Tim, nice video. I never thought how a mega yacht moved about in a harbor area. But dog gone, you showed us how its done the proper way. Thanks to the 2 Captains to let you video. I enjoyed the heck out of this video. Not that i do not enjoy 95% of your work. Hope you are well and safe.
Thank you very much Gervase. I really appreciate it. CUOTO
Another fantastic video, subscribed :)
Thank you again for watching and a Bigger thank you for subscribing! CUOTO
Very interesting and unique video. Never seen a mega yacht tow video with this amount of detail and good camerawork. Both tug helmsman did a great job. I did not realize how big the yacht was until you got off of the tug. Looks like it takes a LOT of experience to do what they are doing. Thanks for making great content!
Thank you very much for watching and welcome to the channel. I try to post new content every Tuesday. Do you only have to wait 1 day now. Lol. CUOTO
That's cool. It must have seemed like everything was happening at lightning speed! No time to think. Speaking as a guy who spent a two years running launches and docking boats at a yacht club (albeit 40 years ago), that was a pleasure to watch!
Oh Yes! Those guys are masters of their craft. Thank you for watching. CUOTO
I am with you Tim I would be so stressed wow he made that look easy.
Thank you for watching Ken. Those guys are amazing aren't they? CUOTO
Amazing skills from the Cape Ann Crews. Nice to see a Pro as yourself acknowledge the work and skills of other Pros. CUOTO
Thank you for watching Frank. Those guys are certainly masters of their craft. CUOTO
Great Video! I understand the physics involved in this iteration but how it is used is much harder to grasp. The skill involved as well as the specific techniques are flat out amazing. Best wishes and a big thank you to the folks at Cape Ann Towing for taking us along. CUOTO Ed
Thank you for watching Ed! I really appreciate it. CUOTO
P. Everglades, I know my old neighborhood when I see it. Cool video Capt. Thanks.
Thank you for watching Russell. And Yes. You are correct. CUOTO
that Yacht had such shiny bitts lols , but man he did his thing with that baby tug. I would of been sweating bullets towing in such a tight spot.
Thank you for watching. Yes, me too. Those guys are so good at what they do. CUOTO
Nothing like trying to parallel park a super yacht in a tight space. Awesome work by Captain Day of the Cape Ann. I'm curious to what vessel Capt Day skippers for his own recreation? Cheers and #CUOTO.
Thank you for watching William. I don't think he knows how to recreate. Lol. He works all the time. (Maybe he'll jump in here and answer directly). CUOTO
Loved the 360 footage
Thank you for watching. CUOTO
Tim, this is why I keep looking forward to your videos. You always find a way to change-it-up and keep things so interesting! What an example and display of seriously serious boat handling outside of your normal experience and expertise on the tugs. I’ve done some things here-and-there on the water but don’t even own a boat and yet here I am.... watching with absolute fascination!
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. I really appreciate them. CUOTO
