Anyone can drive a boat, but it takes a real pro to maintain a winning team. A good Captain is always calm, in control, and never raises his voice. Tristan Mortlock is an inspiration.

[@LEGOpachinko]

Agree, but the "anyone can drive a boat" might need an "if" or "when" :)

[@Breenild]

I'm absolutely sure, you really need to be an EXPERIENCED captain to dock such a boat like the AWOL without any crashes.

[@niranthbanks3595]

I’ve watched from nearly the beginning and he has always been thus. It took your listing of the qualities for me to realize they fit for so many leadership roles.

[@JCrook1028]

Hmm but his team has changed many times so........you're saying he's not a "real pro"?

[@Slonge92]

I’ve watched all the videos and convinced myself that I can do everything Captain Tristen does, as long as the boat is under 25 feet! Of course with an Engineer, Deck Hands, Cook, etc., I may have exceeded the capacity of the boat.

[@jamesgurney6576]

Very interesting, from a retired ship’s Captain. I remember having to depart at times when people where not available to let go lines ashore, but we would do this is bring the mooring line eye aboard with the bite of the line around the bit and the eye splice around a mooring bit on the ship. When letting go these lines would let go last on the ship and the line would slide around the mooring bit ashore and back aboard.

[@johngauntlett4915]

It's always so interesting to watch true professionals at work.

[@lj9503]

Hey, you're docking next to Silver Wind! That yacht was recently featured by eSysman! Thanks for your great videos, Tristan!

[@zedhead2864]

I've watched you guys dock AWOL dozens of times. Still sooo interesting to see.

[@sergetatarinov2851]

Same 😂😂

[@ChrisDraussen]

Yeah dozens of times.....

[@tobiasryser7746]

So true 😂

[@Fitzwillyfl]

As a retired Industrial Engineer I love to see efficiency and purpose when people are doing their job. Bravo!

[@JP_94]

brother what a dream ! love the channel love your work. good job captain and crew as well!!!

[@dan-m05]

I always find your videos so relaxing, thank you for the awesome content! :)

[@markstowe3087]

Glad you’re back … always love your videos!!!

[@mikemurel1917]

Never gets old!! Great work. Small boat captains take notice. Learn, implement, succeed.

[@cpl_0503]

Always great stuff. I love the teamwork and the exotic ports. Makes a guy dream. Thanks for sharing the life.

[@gudfarfar]

Nice to see the whole trip from departure all the way to docked. Good video.

[@ijfba]

I love all the different angles just to see how everyone works together to dock that beast!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your great travels...

[@blewyd]

I really enjoy these videos about the docking and departure procedures of AWOL. Thank you for making this unique content. Good to see these procedures from both captain and deckhands.

[@toolbox-gua]

Appreciate the technical videos, docking, undocking, mantainance and crew chores. All is good and very much appreciated. As a side "dish" they are entertainment.

[@cheata8901]

I would be really interested in seeing you docking the Yacht in very windy conditions, that would be great to see ;) Love your vids

[@Slonge92]

A much more pleasurable video to watch than the previous one, with the POV camera on your hat. Thanks for your great content and hard work. Why you videos aren’t a TV show on BBC, Channel 4, or even Dave, is a mystery.

[@jackieheckathorn5095]

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[@craigroosa9321]

Always enjoy watching you and hearing your commentary !!

[@josephstevens3357]

Always fun watching you operate!

[@adrianhobbins1230]

I really appreciate these docking and departure videos Tristan, they make excellent viewing and I love all of the different camera angles too - great job! My question of the day is: What knot do you use to attach the throwing line to the loop of the stern line? Is it just a bowline or is there some other special knot?

[@poprostuadas]

I'd guess it's some variation of sheet Bend knot. But I hope Trist will tell us what knot it is ;)

[@piersbarrow686]

I use a round turn and two half hitches, tied near the splice so the heaving line doesn’t get trapped by the securing object

[@cmvelo1]

Thanks for this video (and the other ones you do as well) - still constantly amazed and impressed at your docking skill! 💯🙌👍👏👏

[@TradeWindgng]

great docking captain lovely crew collaboration, keep those maneuver videos coming as they are so much of a joy to watch.

[@welfordxxx]

A great team that makes it look so easy. Just a superb job.

[@stevebennett282]

Awesome fun, watching a professional crew make everything look easy..!!👍😎👍

[@nickmuller6317]

Well done Captain! Very nice video. I like the different perspectives!! Appreciate your time for making these videos.

[@lewiscowden9731]

I absolutely love all your videos. I wish you had the time to make more vlogs per week. Absolutely fantastic video again 👏👌👏👌

[@sunsetsandboats2983]

Cool video, great to see the old format back, more like this please.

[@michaelgarlickmovies]

Always great videos. You have so much knowledge and experience to share Thank you.

[@richardgiles2484]

Like how you make it look so easy 👏👏

[@martinimweb559]

I like you comments and explanations in the off / voice-over. Good job, very interesting!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Awesome video! thanks for sharing!

[@rudideghelt]

What to say ? Simply as usual, a superb video in content and quality. I could spend hours watching your videos. Many thanks Tristan.👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@sneakyninjassn9948]

Great to see the daily routines again :)

[@GastonSWE]

@Super Yacht Captain , I really enjoy these relaxed everyday videos, nothing manufactured about them. When you think - Haven't we showed enough docking yet? Please, ask yourself, is there two dockings the same ever? Please keep the videos coming ! Thanks for the pervious ones!

[@TheRemyRomano]

Nice job. Love these videos!

[@stephenwilson9497]

Another great video. The explanation voice is helpful.

[@hendriksprikdesign]

Great video Tristan, very educational thanks, keep it up!

[@sheepdog1102]

Smooth operation!

[@danielpickett8560]

BRAVO! Another great video.

[@ronhuffman7973]

Well done! Great teamwork.

[@AndyCutright]

Love these process videos.

[@TheOUboy]

Great Video/ Wonderful handling of the vessel and such a great crew.

[@morrishardy8257]

You and your crew do an amazing job. From the videos, it appears that everyone gets along great. Any chance you could film a crew meeting about the day. I only can assume that you give the crew praise and positive correction when needed. Thank you!

[@Donald_Shaw]

Beautifully done Captain Tristan and crew. Love your videos aboard AWOL.

[@45searay]

Always interesting ! Thanks !

[@davevanbeers6944]

I would have loved to have seen more of the journey, that would have been awesome.

[@dam1108]

Good morning. New to your channel. Love your videos, very informative. I was a boat owner for several years, had a 35' Viking Sport Fish. Miss the boating life.

[@dorkflassbury1164]

I love that you actually look at your watch to realize it is July. That is funny.

[@joannebrown2392]

Hi from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Oh how I wish we had your weather 🌦 We are currently getting lows of -4°C and highs of 9°C ❄🥶 Enjoyed your video as usual. Watching you and your crew working so well together as a team is a credit to you. Stay 😎🤙

[@hamishesslemont3705]

You have a good team Tristan 😊👍

[@fredericp2740]

Très bien !!

[@danielcookeb90]

excellent seamanship.

[@ianseville]

you made that look so easy

[@stevenzobel4517]

Interesting as always Tristan

[@modmod392]

As ever, slow is pro.

[@thx113868]

Your videos are super cool.

[@larrymayberry2312]

I always enjoy your videos. One day maybe I'll be able to take a trip on a super yacht.

[@walterclaycooke]

very professional

[@badboysfpv1724]

thats a cool parking spot you got everything you need

[@josefelipe789]

Beautiful work capitain.. I'm a Brazilian 🇧🇷 TV viewer, hug ⚓🙋🏻‍♂️🇧🇷

[@jw0001]

Like the new point of view of the go pro above the bow. Good view of the Captain controlling AWOL.

[@Silvervwolfee]

Will that boat pop a wheelie? Floor it man! :-)

[@trentonpaul598]

Please send some of that rain our way.... California Central Valley farmers... cheers wink.

[@Renegade040]

Now that brings back some memories of my stay on my friend boat, not quite in the super yacht class as your boat, 28 metre. When I was there, we were moored about 5 berths to your starboard side, when a quite serve storm hit with very strong winds which pushed in a lot of water into this marina, and what a marina it is, just fantastic. Now the problem with this marina was a very large super yacht, similar size to yours, in the same berth you were in was getting pushed hard against the concrete siding and with the increased tide, well not really a tide, all the fenders were popping out threatening to crash the hull against the concrete, even witnessed the crew trying to push this massive boat off by hand, of course to no avail. They were starting to panic a little, as they couldn't simply drive out, but I'm sure some of the crew on the vessels to his starboard side throw some lines to this vessel and together winched him of the concrete enough to get some tyres and fenders down lower enough to save a lot of damage to the hull. Now, my other question which I did ask our skipper the same question, why don't you use return lines to your vessel, in this case I think it would have worked fine in this case, may not in all marinas. Also with the cost of these berths, surely there should be some sort of protection fitted to this concrete, thank you for another great video.

[@californigirl]

🎼Docking in the the rain...docking in the rain..... into that slip you go... with all engines low... if that stern gets loose and swings, your job don't won't mean a thing. Docking in the rain- yyyeaaahhhhh...🎶

[@calumshaw7905]

Your vlog's are becoming more and more professional every day, I thoroughly enjoy every one!! And yes, congratulations to the owners (and Kevin Bonnie) on the sale of AWOL last month. Has your owner chosen the replacement yacht? I assume he's had his eyes on particular vessel for some time but most importantly will he consent to a continuation of "Super Yacht Captain"?

[@kamuliini1084]

I was just thinking when your next video is coming, and then it comes, i was so happy 😁

[@allenhaines317]

Nice, tight video, Tristan. Love the editing. Makes for a very enjoyable video. Watch your audio crosses there at the end...

[@robweston4608]

Greetings from Australia! Love the vids, really enjoy seeing the beautiful AWOL! Can you show us more of the scenery when you are traveling and also the engine room? Cheers

[@saltyoldseadog8257]

Nice video. Great to see a small crew all working together. Interesting compared to larger Merchant vessels where there’s designated people for this that and the next.

[@alechorn1109]

I would like to see more details around catching and securing the mooring.

[@Andrew-wv7qp]

i've had similar situations docking, except with wind. One time while docking, the wind picked up 15-20k blowing across the slip, making for a pretty challenging operation, considering my boat is a single screw with no bow thruster. As soon as we had Gusto in the slip and secured, the wind dropped to a dead calm. Figures.

[@thomasthomas001]

Regards to Bullet!, love the "look", paparrazzi is a bea! :)

[@martinimweb559]

10:55 Do you notify the other yachts upon arrival? "Hey, Yachts in the habour, we are coming, get your fenders out!" ?

[@Sanyogo]

Were coming in hot.... Take cooooveeeeeeer!!

[@dnmurphy48]

They have to notify the port authorities I guess, so maybe they warn everyone?

[@paulkersey2179]

Very good video, I particularly like your repour with the crew. I would love to see a video of how you all keep the glass so nice and what products you use. Its always frustrating for me to make the it shine.

[@Breenild]

Great video! Are you ALWAYS cruising around in the Mediterranean, or do you sometimes change the area?

[@Rascallucci]

Only 2 more months to go. Let's all wish Tristan to land a new job on his next boat soon to continue this journey.

[@666antares1]

amazing as always tristan, Please can you show the proceadure for refuel please? how it happens, time, cost, etc Thanks

[@Emfines]

Hi Tristan, it would be nice to follow the captain of the chase boat for departure and typical working day with passengers using the chase boat. Thanks for all the great content!!!

[@djmarinerjosh5808]

It is called pre departure or pre arrival check list both for engine and deck...

[@davemac3081]

Really enjoying your vlogs 👍 Any news about what’s happening at the end of season when you leave AWOL?

[@Gibbs-rq4yg]

When the rain hit the lens its sounded like angry hornets :) And it looked like snow,hehe

[@laly4man]

Whatever happened to Barbara, your first officer?

[@inferring]

2:56 that yacht behind is harbor moon i saw it on my vacation lol

[@nigelha3699]

good stuff, please show the bow line pick up too please.

[@hanko219]

Would love to see the ship Under full power at sea - also can you have ease up on the shaky cam and whip Pans of your head mount - If not no worries

[@okoustrup]

I wonder about one thing -second time I see this - when I manage my ship single handed (not as big though🙂) and I have to leave shore - I take 1-2 of the lines and loop them around the pulleys, so I have the holding end on board and the other end on board. When I'm ready to leave I pull the ends onboard - no need to be ashore. With a bigger boat - I don't know, but you surely has more than one person to handle the lines Okay they most of the times get weat and has to dry for some hours

[@Aereaux]

Good morning from a semi-raining Southwest Colorado. Always great to sit down at my computer wit a cup of coffee and watch a great video showing a great captain and crew making what could be a difficult task look so very easy. I spent most of my life in a processed based management atmosphere and your attention to detail and processes shows how important this is from the legal and safety standpoints

[@stephenscott963]

I was wondering if you ever did the trip with guests that were in the raffle for free trip? Also is it true that the owner is selling AWOL and purchasing a larger vessel? If so make mode size of vessel? Keep up the great videos!!!!

[@mattcherry276]

Another excellent video thank you. It would be nice, if you were able, to have some more exterior shots whilst underway. See the mighty AWOL powering through the waves.

[@pookatim]

cool

[@destinations.sunset3345]

Got here first, like Your videos, all so interesting

[@ryanalley2446]

Interesting content on the channel. A couple of questions, why must you empty the Jacuzzi before leaving the port and why is the chase boat towed so far behind?

[@divinghippo]

Another informative video Capt, bravo! May I know the brand/model shoes Brad is wearing? They look great for on deck

[@morrispearl9981]

Great video. I was wondering how long in advance you have to contact the harbor master to be assigned a parking space, etc. Do vessels sometimes just show up unannounced?

[@johnr1066]

Great video again. Question… The render is towed quite a way back so does it have a separate AIS or does it use AWOLS?

[@whitestar0284]

When u were leaving port why did u not single up ,so you would not need deck crew on the dock?? Great video any news on ur new yacht????

[@tobiaskarlsson9771]

I was curious to see how and when the bow lines were attached, but that part sadly got skipped. While waiting for the bow lines to be attached and tensioned, do you leave the propellers giving you a bit of a thrust forward, or do you just push forward if or when needed?
