There is another channel, "Superyacht Captain" where he accompanies a superyacht from the Mediterranean to Florida; several videos listed in his "Playlists". A fair bit of detail in the prep of the transport ship as well as the work done after the yachts are loaded. A lot of the cribbing is installed by divers. He also includes a full tour of the transport ship. Worth viewing if interested in this stuff.

I actually said out loud, "HOLY CRAP!" when Courtney scooted out backwards, like it was nothing at all, through that tight gap between the two yachts. That was bloody impressive boat handling!! Even if I was trying that bow first, I would have been as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! I can only imagine that if you so much as touched the paint on one of those yachts, the crews would have a bit of anxiety. Well Done!

At both sides of the transporter ship there is a corridor what runs from the stern to bow. Engineers generally use a bike/scooter to travel down the corridor, basically when it’s at sea in a bit of weather you can see the far end move. The ship is designed to flex Every single yacht connects to the transporter and has electric and running water,

I'm not sure why, but I do know that because they were purposely built to be under the 26 foot minimum for towing vessels that then require Sub chapter M inspections and more, they operate more as private vessels.

I cannot count the amount of times I wondered how these yacht transports managed doing this submerged. The ones I saw concentrated on the divers fixing the hull support and skipped over the yacht loading. There are a handful of videos showing the loading managed by crane on Dockwise transports. Awesome educational video Tim. When he headed in with that second yacht, I was skeptical he could extract himself. Superb boat handling Captain Courtney. Kudos and many safe passages.

The amount of skill and work that goes into an operation like this is amazing, plans have to be all made well before any boats start moving , before the deck is awash with water the blocks all have to be placed and secured so they won't be moved at all by the prop wash that hits them, all the graving plans are needed so those block are placed correctly, float all the boats into place and then as they life the deck up slowly they must have divers watching each keel meet its blocking, and then they have to secure the boat in place against all directions of possible movement, in the rough seas that they may encounter on the trip. I would hate to have to pay the bill to have one moved. but then again the owners of those type of boats don't blink at the cost. thanks for the vid capt. I'll CUOTO

I highly doubt any of those yachts have the fuel to make it from the East coast of the US to Gibraltar. Maybe a few of the larger ones could do it if they stopped at Bermuda, then the Azores, but certainly not the entire 2,500nm across the Atlantic in one shot. Something S/V Paquita has over all these very expensive motor yachts.

Amazing. Would have been great to see the ship rise out of the sea and the boats tethered.

Yes. Agreed. I would have loved to see that myself. Thank you for watching Mark. CUOTO

A great video Tim. I have seen these carrier vessels in various locations with and without their payloads so it was a pleasure to see how they were loaded. Courtney makes it look so easy. CUOTO

Another great video, Tim. I love watching those guys work the New River when I am in town. If you want to get a glimpse of what it's like crossing the pond on one of these Dockwise ships, Superyacht Captain did a nice video about it. Sorry we're missing you in FL, but we are making tracks north. We're offshore today, but yesterday inside Hilton Head we passed a company tug with a tank barge on the head, the first commercial traffic we've seen since Stuart. You guys are *everywhere*. And yes, I saw him on the one ;)

Tim your buddy is a boat driver...Single Screw tug with wind right between 2 super yachts and 15 cameras. He knows his tug. That had to be pretty cool loading that ship.
