Engine and Pre-Departure Checks on a Luxury Yacht

[@Puzzoozoo]

I've never set foot on a boat in my life, but I now I know how to check it out and then what to do before I start her up. 😁

Deep cleaning weekend, loads of contractors onboard - owner arrives on Wednesday (b'day bash) but I'm now sitting back and relaxing with our favorite super yacht Captain/Owner 🏅🎖🏅

Great to hear from you hope your season is going great. Are you preparing anything special for the Boss' birthday?

I would love to cook for you, Nick, Tristan, Jared, Victoria, Nico and few others one day - (that would be my thing)

You were right Amanda. Right up my alley. Just a bit of a workout every time you head out. I’d never even thought of cigarettes being a problem, but you certainly wouldn’t want that running through your system. I’d almost be tempted to set cameras up on the water strainers for that pre check.

Great video Im thinking of buying the same yacht so your video are cool and informative

[@lusoyachting36]

Thanks for watching!

[@TR4zest]

Great video. Having seen reminders at the helm on several boats, I think checking your seacocks are open is something to be certain of, also.

Awesome vog as always, hey stay safe ,have a great weekend,

[@bobt3374]

Good morning young lady what a beautiful day there. This was excellent to see what you have to do before you start your day. Take care & have a good week. 😎

[@gordyrampling7632]

Great channel. Came here from the aquaholic channel and these vlogs are excellent insights into the day to day operations. Really good content. Cheers for sharing.

[@lusoyachting36]

Thanks Gordy

[@ianjackson1192]

Great video always wondered about what you had to do before you set off 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻

[@darrenh20102]

Fantastic vid again, thanks! It seems that you know my questions before I've even asked them, and then you add a little bit more knowledge 🤔. Never knew there was a gauge that showed the rudder position. It's like being back at school, except that I'm actually interested in the subject 👍😂😂. Please keep the vids coming in droves, I've missed you over winter xx

[@lusoyachting36]

Thanks Darren. much more to come this summer.

[@remraf72]

Excellent video ! Thank you for all of the explanations of your checklists. Love your channel. Warmest Regards from Arizona

[@ilpostino321]

Very educational. Thanks

[@paterson00]

Good video

[@bunksunbound5785]

Many thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

[@stephenscott963]

New to channel and good job! If possible could you please try to show more of a close up of things like fuse panel etc? It’s great for us newbies to see what all exactly you have on and off pre departure and when you return? Just a humble suggestion! Thank you!

[@lusoyachting36]

Ok will do

[@luisj10298]

I see many yachts have a dinghy garage and some even have pumps to fill the air on the tube, but i have always been curious on how to fuel the dinghy, can you fuel it from the yacht main tank, or you have to take it out of the garage and to the fue dock separate from your main boat? Ps: great videos, keep it up👌👌👌

[@lusoyachting36]

Luis we usually just open the garage while we are at the fuel dock and fuel it there although the new Yamaha sport tender I bought last year has a removable 25 litre fuel tank so you could just take it to the gas station in the car.

[@luisj10298]

@@lusoyachting36 ohhhh, thanks for the answer, i still have no where near enough money saved up to buy me a yacht (but im working on it) and your videos help to live the experience 💪👌👌👌

[@aggelos.d8314]

May I ask, why dont you have the battery chargers on from the control panel. Is it just because they were full?

[@lusoyachting36]

Yes, the emergency systems like bilge pumps are on standby so it is not drawing any current. I'm not a fan of constantly cooking off he batteries with the charger 24/7.
