CAPTAIN MANOEUVRING A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR LUXURY SUPER YACHT OUT OF AN EXTREMELY TIGHT BERTH.

Motor Yacht AWOL is docked in the port of Hvar, we go through our pre departure process in detail before finally casting off and manoeuvring the vessel with extreme caution out of the berth whilst at the same time recovering the starboard anchor. Not only do we have vessels on both sides to consider but also the grounds lines coming out forward of both vessels.

Very nicely done, no running, no shouting, no panic.

[@mikefendel]

Just recently found your channel and am enjoying it very much. Retired after 35 years as an airline Captain and while I don't know that much about yachts, find you to be both clearly experienced and enjoying what you do, and excellent at sharing your experiences. Look forward to see many more. Cheers!

[@lucianosantucci108]

I love how it’s so early the crew are tired and even the camera doesn’t have enough light to focus, BUT The Captain is sharp. Comforting

[@GTIracerr]

I would love to see and hear those Caterpillar V12 beauties start up. Could you film that sometime if possible, Tristan?

[@alanblasczyk1779]

@Tristen, I am continually impressed with your calmness and ease of tight situations. Cheers mate. i have watched allot of other yaht vids and yours are the best out there. No Joke.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Thanks Alan, All the best

[@alanblasczyk1779]

@@SuperYachtCaptain You are welcome Tristen. !

[@keithmny]

You've just proven what I was told many years ago, "Slow Is Pro" that was perfection.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Absolutely 💯

[@adolf-8834]

The first time I sat at the helm as a boy the first bit of advice given was, "neutral is your friend". I have passed on that sound tip ever since.

[@robertstancer4469]

Sorry, no Keith you are wrong, slow is NOT pro. Observation, or lookout is pro. I can only conclude you are not a pro yachtsman. Keep learning.

[@keithmny]

@@robertstancer4469 Slow IS definitely pro, anyone who manoeuvres a vessel approaching a dock at any speed but slow is despite having all the observation provided by their own eyes and other assigned crew a complete and utter numpty. It doesn't matter how much observation is taking place because the faster you go the less time you have to react to unexpected issues that can crop up . I never was a yachtsman only a lowly harbour pilot.

[@robertstancer4469]

@@keithmny This is the type of boating cliche that should be avoided. I fact avoid them at all costs. In the the UK we call what Mr Keithmany posts above as 'stating the bleedin obvious'. Wots wrong with berthing 'stern to' at 15knots heh! Keith baby?, perleese. As a rear admiral, (so i out rank you), it does not matter how slow you are going, if you don't see it, you'll hit it. For an example see Cpt Tristans video berthing a Porto Rodondo, Sardinia and his groundline incident.....all done at VERY LOW speed AND he says he had lookouts posted. If you are going to give out advice Mr Keithmany please make it of value. The 'pros' i know just laugh at this type of nautical nonsense. Hey, he's some you might like; Breast is best! Or, Hair of the Dog!........

[@drewblessing8418]

Really great to see all the detail of departure. You’re clearly a pro - no bow thruster needed, full control of every aspect of the vessel 👍

[@braedenmathieson9250]

I loved that you showed the controls, what they do and you using them. This really interests me. More of that please.

[@kevinkraus4819]

One of the most informative operational yacht video ice seen, thank you

[@mylesanthony8672]

Videos like these give an invaluable insight for aspiring yacht captains! Loving the slick formatting and flow the videos have now - Thank you for keeping us with you throughout : P

[@johnpeel6601]

Organised, calm, professional and very impressive departure from Port of Hvar. Great video Tristan.

[@johneasleyusa]

Well done, sir. Great explanation and walk through. Love these "How to..." videos.

[@BuddhaAfterDark]

The sound of that anchor chair is some pretty incredible ASMR... :D

[@michaelbastin9851]

Not only very informative, but I felt calm. thank you.

[@realmaxpower]

I like these types of videos. Thanks! 👍🏼

[@wmellor87]

That was cool! Really enjoyed it. Thanks!

[@davidcaesar1913]

As always, brilliant content. Thank you again Captn’ for taking the time to publish these vids.

[@sikmik77]

Such a calm and beautiful video. And those bells in the background were perfect!

[@bobuncle8704]

Slow and steady wins the race. It is really impressive to me to watch you handle AWOL with such finesse. Especially from such a tight anchorage. Job well done Tristan

[@AgentRafa]

I LOVE videos like this. Great job Captain.

[@TheGamer-ux2lr]

Easy peasy! Nice to see you folks back to work.

[@koenhonkbal]

I would love to see more of these ‘parking’ and leaving port video’s. Seeing the technique that it takes of ‘driving’ a super yacht. Loved the video 👌🏼

[@gofer1971]

You make it look so easy! Brilliant! Oh, and what a backdrop. Croatia looks amazing. It was almost as if the church bells were ringing for your departure!

[@williammoody7958]

Great content, thanks for walking us through the maneuver.

[@OldManGibb]

The bell's in the back ground are way cool, Nice wake up. :) You all be safe.

[@adolf-8834]

Splendid go thru. Thanks

[@iainmacinnes1660]

Takes me back to my days at sea. The manoeuvring in and out of port was often a delicate process.

[@amaranthinecomics3974]

Great job Tristen. This vid had me glued.

[@sailingmandyneel5180]

perfectly done and thanks for letting us know all small steps of controll and precheck . it was very impressive and gives an idea what to do all... as well as captian of an private sailboat i can take some small things whith me in the daily work.

[@Davebsuk]

Finally back to the good stuff. Nice vid. Thanks

[@timwoods603]

Outstanding vlog Captain. Felt like I was there. What a way to start the day.

[@ivavossi]

It is very interesting to watch you and crew operate such a large vessel in such tight spaces with such coordinated grace and accuracy. Would expect no less from you all but it is really cool to see it happen. Nice work and congrats to you and crew. You all seem like very respectful fun to know people.

[@65stang98]

the precision from human skills of the sea and modern technology is amazing to see

[@willjones1421]

I just finished my STCW and my day skipper and starting my Yacht masters next week, seeing what I have been taught being used in a real life situation is a great help, thanks 😊

[@peskycitizen7582]

Best of luck on your yacht masters. Tristan does have lots of great tips.

[@richardharrison6993]

Great video. Nice, calm and controlled. Gently does it. 👍👍

[@ngreed]

Really enjoy these types of video's!

[@josefbry]

Great. More videos like this. Navigation, route planing and so on

[@wwrite]

Great job guys!

[@johnpenson8801]

Brilliant Video Tristan. One of your very best. Excellent, interesting content and well edited. Many more like this please. Especially as the season will soon be over and ship handling videos will no longer be possible.

[@charlesmaguire8836]

Thoroughly enjoy your informative videos.

[@jimkoster5882]

Loved the video and most importantly the description of the maneuver. Keep it coming!

[@winky32174]

Best video yet. Nice departure, by the book!!!

[@BAND-MAID-USA]

Man, what an incredible video. 1st off. Awesome camera placements and editing. 2nd. That is a scary job coming away from the cats on port and starboard side. 3rd. The amount of engineering & electrical engineering involved in these ships is CRAZY. I can't even imagine what the blue prints look like when it's being built. The electrical engineering is like freakn NASA. I mean, a sensor on every single window that shows open/closed position? The amount of skill it must take to plan out and run the wiring on these yatchs is unreal. I could watch videos like this all day. 1st time I've ever watched one. Thank you for showing what it takes to move a yatch successfully. I'm hooked now.

[@josephferrer698]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@stu2355]

what a great video on leaving the berth. boat under total control nothing rushed all smooth👏👏

[@matom03]

Soo jealous of the crew and guests on AWOL. The places you are going we can only dream of during Covid.

[@daniellauper8115]

I hope you and the crew were able to visit the town and the surrounding area a little. Hvar is not only beautiful from the water. The view from the rocks behind the city is breathtaking. 👍👍👍

[@tacticalblind4345]

WOW! Incredible views! So peaceful!

[@rudideghelt]

What concentration and with great ease. But I guess the experience pushes you to the top of yachting. This video is awesome, I love seeing and reviewing new and old videos. This is how we see remarkable progress. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheOUboy]

Great job on both the video and the driving of AWOL.

[@criaan]

That was wicked interesting thanks!

[@Cookie-kf3xn]

Hi. Your GoPro Head setup is priceless! Thank You so much to show us your life on board AWOL. As an AB seaman i frequently ask myself why i did not choosen to work on a yacht. But, maybe ther will be a next life to take the chance. Cheers from Cuxhaven / North See.

[@adriansrealm]

Any crew that labels the anchor chain Rub Your Balls With Grease sounds like a fun group to sail with.

[@nigeldewallens1115]

That was just gorgeous to watch you all but well done to your handling of that wonderful yacht! Oh if only I could be on it with you guys! sigh!!

[@philmoredennie526]

Even though I have an Aviation background coming from the Caribbean. St Vincent and the Grenadines . I enjoy your video Vlogs from a Captain"s Perspective ..it shows you have a positive command of your Vessel meticulous and ascertive..good command qualities . Awrsome job..

[@ah244895]

Very interesting video. One of your best. The kinds of details o like. Going through the same checks that pilots perform.

[@captainrick9379]

When they assigned you that berth, Did it come with a tube of Vaseline? LOL! 🤣⚓👍

[@kenlee-97]

Or a barrel of K.Y.jelly ,considering how many females it attracts!

[@Silvervwolfee]

Funny.....Rub Your Balls With Grease! Easy to remember! Favorite past time!

[@BDCALLAIS]

Very nice!

[@bethmulligan2588]

Very cool stuff.My friend worked on a privately owned Feadship...The Seneca...for 7yrs...docked in Stuart Fl...sometimes Ft.Pierce.When owner wasn't on board I was able to stay on it for weeks at a time.I loved it but it was pretty demanding when it came to your time if you were crew. When the owner wanted to go...you better be ready...fortunately she & I shared a house in Jensen Beach & she knew her dog,Stanford,was safe w me!

[@craigefc]

Enjoyed that. Need to buy a Super Yacht now.

[@alainrule9907]

Would love to see footage of the departure out to sea... outside... so peaceful and love the gentle rumble of the main engines... 😉🥃

[@d14551]

So very interesting to see and hear in such detail how you prepare for and then commence departure.

[@christopher3342]

You are gorgeous! And amazingly calm and professional.

[@ckmurphy1]

Really amazingly beautiful and interesting

[@slobmarley9070]

great insight in this video, really enjoyed it

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Awesome, thank you!

[@robertstancer4469]

Nice to see you learnt your lesson from your berthing in Porto Rotundo, Sardinia Tristan. Observe, Observe, Observe. Ground lines are killers if you do not observe, good job crew, teamwork.

[@AndrewMccravy]

awesome seamanship! not sure if its been discussed, but a video talking about navigation planning for longer crossings would be fun to hear about. ie what goes into picking a route, fuel planning, boat prep, etc. thank you..
