Professional routine not so special, done 10,000 times a day round the world . But still a perfect job . Do not forget these yachts have a double prop and a stern and bow thruster .
Triston, Thank you for the amazing content you post! I've been following you for quite some time. My wife and I are owner/operators of a 2008 Lazzara 75 LSX similar to Lizzy. For personal and privacy reason, we have always operated our boats ourselves, without onboard crew. We do have what we refer to as a "dockside captain" and his team who care for the boat while at our dock, but it is just the two of us while cruising. For the most part, we cruise Florida waters and The Bahamas. Over the past 30 or more years, we have owned and operated several yachts ranging in size from 37' to 75'. Even with that experience, I never stop learning new things and your channel has certainly added to that education. All that to say thank you and keep up the great work!
Man, I’m really impressed, nailed it perfectly!!! And that folks is why I’m enjoying this channel. He shows us all aspects of various jobs on the yacht.
I know it is nowhere close to the league of this kind of sailoring, and professionism, but Tristan says in the video something like slow makes a pro. Literally the same I got when I maneuvered a tour-canoe to shore in flood-currents on the Danube in Hungary for the first time. This made me relive this memory, related to a good man, canoing on the other end of the rainbow for many years now. Thank you
WOW! Tristan, you make this very difficult maneuver look so easy. As a boat owner, 29ft Chaparral 276ssx, docking is by far the hardest thing to do when boating, I couldn't imagine trying to dock a superyacht like this. I'd like to think it is a little easier with twin screws and a bow thruster though. Well done! I enjoy all your content, and you seem like a gentleman. cheers from the U.S.
A big thumbs up for your videos AND for your English. It is perfect understandable for people which are not native speaker English. Like me, from The Netherlands....
A 180° change in the wind is a great classic of the Mediterranean, I've seen this kind of reversing in fraction of hour. Regarding Portoferrario I remember few decades ago we stayed there for 2 or 3 days with my parent's sail boat. There was no fresh water available on tap in these times in this harbour and the water was delivered some days in the week with a tanker truck. And in these times there was no fresh water making units on boats, we only relied on our tanks. About the fenders on a such low dock: you can attach them on both sides and put them horizontaly, it will increase their surface in contact with the dock. And generaly, how to dock? "Hit the cheapest thing as slow as possible"
A couple of years ago I was bringing the boat we'd hired in to dock after a good day's fishing with my brother. I'm a better boatman than angler, so I was glad to show off my docking skills, based on the "half the speed you think reasonable" adage and anticipating the effect of the swell to the inch. Compliments from the docking official, and even the bro said well done. Then I stumbled as soon as I stepped onto the dock and fell into the official's arms. Hard to maintain an air of easy superiority after that :-)
On trip to Alaska in Prince Rupert we got to see a very good Captain land a 130 foot boat to the dock beside us. The boat had a crew of 2 and a female captain who was around 30. She came into dock at a good speed put boat in reverse then pushed boat into dock with thrusters. The dock was about 2 feet above the water. In 5 minutes with no shore assistance boat was docked and tied. Then they all went to the pub at the end of the dock. Next day they passed us going south. She was very good. Called us and told us she putting out 12 foot waves and would slow as she went by us. She said she had to be in Vancouver in a day thus need for speed. We also have seen captains who yell at crew and bang dock. One damaged his swim platform and bent the railing around it.
Still can’t believe how calm you remain with the obstruction and the angle needed to avoid it. The inertia of your yacht would make me extremely cautious and I think I would have taken 2 to 3 times as long. Very impressive docking.
Great maneuver captain , love your commentary while maneuvering and describing what are you doing in relation between the engines and the vessel movements while docking. great job captain keep them coming
Have to say Tristan if I had a superyacht I would want you as my captain cause making it look that easy is a sign of being a master of your craft :) Another great video keep them coming :)
Great video, that pier is so low, could easily see the fenders popping up on top and not providing adequate protection for the hull. The starboard ground line is a life saver. Well done!
Feels like a briefing and going over the mission! Love it! Makes sense that with this size vessel you treat it in a military way. Failure is not an option. Makes me wanna suit up and hit the decks to help! Thanks Captain T and rest of crew. We all love this by the looks of comments. No need for fluffy fake drama. This is real! Cheers from Maine! 🍻 And btw AWOL will fit in Portland Harbor, we get cruise ships all the time! Mon ovah bub!
Love to watch these videos , so interesting and get to travel through you . Your talent is over the top ! You make it look easy and I know it is anything but . Great job and great videos !
I love your content Capt. Morlock.. It has given me great prospective of what you do. I subscribed early on because I love watching a RUclips Channel with content I like grow. Keep up the great content and thank you.
Great video Think about buying a deadcat mic cover for the outside POV the audio quality will be upgraded a lot since all the wind will be blocked out. They are really cheap aswell :)
Low docks are always a problem. I've been through the Kiel Canal a few times and the floating pontoon there is really just railway sleepers floating six inches clear of the water. Our technique there is to lower the fenders until they are floating horizontally and reducing the risk of them riding up above the dock and having a scrape on the hull.
Brilliant, just to let you know. Listening to you keep your cool while docking a super yacht, has given me so much more confidence maneuvering my little boat. Thanks for your videos 👍
Excellent commentary - thank you! Very interesting to see how a large yacht is handled. Good crew communications. Watching from the beautiful mountains of Colorado, USA.
Nice video. Brings back memories of sailing with my Dad in my med (also a master mariner and boat handler par excellance). Great to watch calm boat handling made to look easy like this.
Thankyou so much for this great video. Love the way you stayed so cool & calm during this docking, communicating with your crew & the port assistants at the same time giving us such interesting commentary. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia
Very interesting vlog Tristan. Most ppl couldn’t back their cars into a garage so effortlessly & all this while doing a narrative on a GoPro. Once you get a new larger vessel to captain your learning curve will have to increase accordingly.👍
Great Video Tristan. One of your best. Great to know your engine, wheel and bow thruster movements and why you are doing them. Thanks for posting and look forward to more like this. Very instructional as well as entertaining.
I saw the video on the Fan install the side of the fan where the label Doesn't move that's always the Exit side of any fan that size just a tech guy that knows that info always spin your fans by hand before install check the label side the label that spins is the back of the fan always remember that just giving a tip Love the Videos supper Yacht Captain you do such a great job on the videos keep up the great work
Thanks as always for your great videos. I don’t remember past videos having so much camera movement, roller coaster style. It seems like you used to catch more of the scenery in frame, for long enough to appreciate it, with less looking down. If you’re wearing a camera on your head I can understand all of the erratic movements. No problem, I don’t mind just listening to it like a podcast. Thanks again!
Yes he is wearing a go pro on his head (hence the reversed baseball cap). And while I agree that cinematographically the jerky movements are not ideal, I really like how it shows me where he is looking and by association what he is concentrating on at that moment. Also gives a very first person view of the action. So for videos like this one I actually prefer it to a perfect steady camera work.
JayZee: I definitely appreciate the value of that camera perspective, but a fixed camera behind and slightly above him would have been a better placement. Glad I wasn’t the only one who mentioned it. Like I said, I would just listen like it was a podcast.
Very nicely done. You mentioned that you wanted to make sure that your stabilizes didn't get caught on the adjacent boat's ground line. Are your stabilizer s not retractable? And if they are retractable, why do you need them while going so slow during docking?
Very nice and controlled docking. Three words on the approach, BRM - Bridge Resource Management. Lots of distractions, no deck officer or deck hand to assist...
Nice and easy. One dumb question regarding bridge setup. Why you don’t install a VHF repeater on the front console or overhead console? That way you don’t need to walk away from the steering position to use the VHF.
The true talent here is how easy the captain makes it look...
Nice work 👍

Well done, Captain. You made a tricky maneuver look easy. Good teamwork with your crew. Mrs. Captain looking glorious as per usual.
@Super Yacht Captain▪️ I don't deal with fake accounts from Mumbai. I just report them.
You made that look easy - in spite of the distraction from the other boat.
It’s all about the briefing and communication. Tremendous clarity from the skipper.
No ambiguity. Calm and clear
Man, I’m really impressed, nailed it perfectly!!! And that folks is why I’m enjoying this channel. He shows us all aspects of various jobs on the yacht.
Smooth as silk. A clear sign of a good captain and crew.
Time for one more wash down before the storm.
I know it is nowhere close to the league of this kind of sailoring, and professionism, but Tristan says in the video something like slow makes a pro.

Excellent shiphandling!
Amazing how easy you make it look.
Very professional of you to ignore the rude boat to port for not moving their tender.
@Super Yacht Captain▪️ fake account. Report it. And gone after being reported.
WOW! Tristan, you make this very difficult maneuver look so easy. As a boat owner, 29ft Chaparral 276ssx, docking is by far the hardest thing to do when boating, I couldn't imagine trying to dock a superyacht like this.

Yes, you do make it look easy. That’s a sign of a great captain! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Like a boss… not just referring to the docking, but also the backward baseball cap and sunglasses 😎
Should be Admiral of a Super yacht. This guys really good!!! Nice job 👍
I’m a captain myself running a 90ft vessel, but love the docking videos 👍🏻👨🏻✈️
There's no room for error. Your owner must be thankful for having a skilled, professional Captain.
Thank you 🙏

02:00 I like how his eyes permanently "radar" the area in front of the boat while he is speaking. :)
Really professional captain and crew. So calm what great leadership.
"Slow is pro." Yes, indeed!

I am always impressed, the calm in the maneuver of the Awol. Me watching the video, I stress. Thank you Tristan for this sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
My heart rate actually sped up, great job.
Very nicely done. You can tell a very experienced Captain by the way they dock, and that was spot on.
How easy do you make that look!

keep them coming
Awesome captain, just love the technical stuff. thank you.
Have to say Tristan if I had a superyacht I would want you as my captain cause making it look that easy is a sign of being a master of your craft :) Another great video keep them coming :)
That was very impressive, plus a man who can multi task lol. Good job done.
calmly done! Very professional.
Sir always enjoy watching yourself and crew working as a team. So enjoy your channel hopefully for many many months down the road 👍
Fast but smooth and slick, well done
Another great class of how to dock.
Thanks captain.

G Smith "...Makes me wanna suit up and hit the decks to help!..." I had the exact same thought while watching this video!

Great piloting of the yacht and a pro as always. Thanks for sharing.
ABSOLUTELY amazing to watch the professional team work . Amazing to me. 🗽👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great video
Think about buying a deadcat mic cover for the outside POV the audio quality will be upgraded a lot since all the wind will be blocked out. They are really cheap aswell :)
You made that look easy, good crew.
I am in awe, like a well oiled machine 🤩
Highly skilled captain.
I get nervous parallel parking my Subaru. A boat this size, Tremendous job!
Absolute masterclass and cool as a cucumber throughout despite the fact that the slightest error could result in hundreds of thousands of damage!

Our technique there is to lower the fenders until they are floating horizontally and reducing the risk of them riding up above the dock and having a scrape on the hull.
Great content with added history lesson! Keep up the great work!!

Excellent commentary - thank you! Very interesting to see how a large yacht is handled. Good crew communications. Watching from the beautiful mountains of Colorado, USA.
My Colorado mountains down here in the SW corner are pretty dry. Wish it would rain for 40 days and 40 nights.
@@Aereaux Totally agree - your part of the state is very dry. We desperately need rain.
Nice video. Brings back memories of sailing with my Dad in my med (also a master mariner and boat handler par excellance). Great to watch calm boat handling made to look easy like this.
Well done Captain Tristan and crew. Great job as always.
Love this channel......addictive
Thankyou so much for this great video. Love the way you stayed so cool & calm during this docking, communicating with your crew & the port assistants at the same time giving us such interesting commentary. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia
A pitty the other boat didn't move their tender, especially as they were on deck. Great video all.
@Super Yacht Captain▪️ what boat are you moving to afyer awol
Very interesting vlog Tristan. Most ppl couldn’t back their cars into a garage so effortlessly & all this while doing a narrative on a GoPro. Once you get a new larger vessel to captain your learning curve will have to increase accordingly.👍
So cool! I love watching you dock and pull out of port too.
You make it look so simple
Bet you can also parallel park in the city.
Good job!
Made that look way too easy.. guess I’m used to gusting winds and 12’ tides here in the Pacific NW..!!
Well done!👍😎👍
Shout out to "Bullet" last minute fender adjustment to protect gelcoat!!, one bad Bullet!!
Great Video Tristan. One of your best. Great to know your engine, wheel and bow thruster movements and why you are doing them. Thanks for posting and look forward to more like this. Very instructional as well as entertaining.
This is sooooo cool. Thank you for educating us.
I am no expert, but that looked pretty good.
No wind and current make it a pleasure.
beautiful smooth manouvre!
Brilliant video, love watching the skill & professionalism docking a boat that size, great job, great content, well done 👍
Nice job, Captain,,,ty for the videos
Love these types of videos. Thanks for sharing.
I saw the video on the Fan install the side of the fan where the label Doesn't move that's always the Exit side of any fan that size just a tech guy that knows that info always spin your fans by hand before install check the label side the label that spins is the back of the fan always remember that just giving a tip Love the Videos supper Yacht Captain you do such a great job on the videos keep up the great work
Excellent video. Loved seeing the precision with which you and crew handled AWOL. Keep up the awesome work Captain.
Wonderful, so smooth.
Fabulous video, thank you!
Beautifully done.

Beautiful scenery. Would love to be there.
Nicely done Captain! Your situational awareness was spot on. Slow is pro👍
I like the video before i even watch it 😂 just his positive energy is enough 😁😁 thank you
Amwesoms!!! More more technical videos!
Very nicely done. Would some natural coir rope fenders help in this situation as they don’t float?
Very nicely done. You mentioned that you wanted to make sure that your stabilizes didn't get caught on the adjacent boat's ground line. Are your stabilizer s not retractable? And if they are retractable, why do you need them while going so slow during docking?
Wow. That was incredible. Nice job.
Very nice and controlled docking. Three words on the approach, BRM - Bridge Resource Management.
Lots of distractions, no deck officer or deck hand to assist...
omg that is so stressful well done
Well done Captain.
Well executed , Captial. Captain 😎👍🤸🏿♀️
Nice! Yes, it WAS a low docking.
Captain that was GREAT! I hope you are in charge of another yacht when you leave AWOL.
Perfect docking😍
Wise sailor once told me "when approaching a dock slow to a speed you think is acceptable then cut that speed in half".
And when ur reverse is not working triple that. :D
I learned that you should approach at a speed you wouldnt mind colliding at :p
Great Video!!! Looking forward to what the future holds for you and the crew.
A Great maneuver, Captain !! Exselent,
Awesome, great precision 👍
Nice and easy. One dumb question regarding bridge setup. Why you don’t install a VHF repeater on the front console or overhead console? That way you don’t need to walk away from the steering position to use the VHF.
Really enjoyed this video, what we expect from you Tristan
Nicely done as usual !
Nice driving.
You make it seem so easy. Great video!
