Out of my Way ! (Yacht Vs Tug )

Its a given sexy people will be on my channel but today we see a tug vs Yacht scenerio.My name is Alfred Montaner host of the boat ramp Chit Show.Im in the Fort Lauderdale New River filming some of the best boats and yachts in all of South Florida.
Its very different from the Miami River and has a really cool appeal.
Lets check out these boats and Mega Yachts

Captain , this happens all day every day . The yacht Capt and tug Capt are Professionals. It’s like You went to NewYork at rush hour. Every day this happens

Cape Ann Towing was started by Capt. Ellis , he retired and sold the company to Capt. Cory. I had the privilege to crew with Capt Ellis on a rear tug .They really are amazing captains with ice water running through their veins . Total respect for their skills .

[@Hockeyfan9884]

Man -0- Man , that is amazing. Those tugboat Captains sure are experts and true professionals as to what they do. Thanks for sharing Dude .

[@jeffburnham6611]

They always have a tug/tow boat at the stern for larger vessels to prevent the stern from swinging too far wide. The lead boat pulls and starts the turn, the aft boat then pulls in the opposite direction. Hats off to the crews of those tugs/tows very making it look so simple.

[@cappyjpadgett]

That’s because it is very simple….much easier than pushing several hundred feet of barges on the river.

Great video, I live on the new river and it never ceases to amaze me the size of the boats just getting bigger and bigger. The CarrieB is a flat bottom and when she is on the move, she is hard to stop. That flotilla probably corresponds to a bridge opening.

[@jimrusswilloughby9903]

I had worked on the New River and watch the tugboats do their stuff with the large Yachts going into yard and out to sea. At the turnaround of the part called Florida Peninsula and a new River is most amazing watching the tugs do their stuff. The captains on the Tugs do have some help with the computer systems however do have the ability to override and adjust. And also you get the crazy Critters out there that think they have the right away just because

My dad was a tug boat captain after 25 years in the Navy, he drove a ferry here in Galveston then he got to be a tug captain his tug could pull 360 degrees and it had a chair that would swivel with controls.

[@pamooconnor8154]

My father and brother in law worked on the water doing similar work and the knowledge one has to have, like these tug boat captains, gives them a pride that allows them to do work such as this. Most people who own yachts like this wouldn’t know the bow from the stern or how to tie the line that holds it to the deck, so they need the captains who get these boats from point A to point B. I think it gives them a sense of pride that’s worth more than the biggest ship out there.

AW! The perils and hardships of being rich and famous.🗽👍⚓

[@PanzerDave]

What a fun video! It certainly was rather busy, and it is interesting to see the different levels of attention by the boats. One minor note: 4:03 You mention right of way. Technically there is no right of way except for inland water ways, and then only if a vessel is heading down river. There are however stand on and give way vessels. In this case (Rule 18) the tugs are the stand on vessels since they are "limited in their ability to maneuver." The only higher priority would be a vessel not under command. Thanks for a fun video!

[@theofficialdiamondlou2418]

I was tripping until I saw the drag boat. Under tow they have the right of way PERIOD !

[@lt1nut]

It swings that way too??🤣

[@gfroese4799]

A vessel under tow always has the right of way .

Not completely correct. There are more rules aplied, one of them done here: vessels going downstream go first….

[@tmdawson2]

@ you obviously do know maritime laws. The tug’s (plural) have the right of way. The tugs are towing a 170’ yacht…….What scenario does any other boat have the right of way?

@@tmdawson2 ehm, first of all, is this marine port or river? You asked which law apply here? The one I already mentioned: wessel going downstream direction go first. I’m little bit confused: are you suggesting tug captain and passenger boat captain as well, doesn’t know rules and did it completelly wrong? Come on :-)

[@tmdawson2]

@ Please don’t regurgitate B.S. There is no maritime LAW overriding a vessel under tow….upstream, downstream, or whatever direction you believe the current is flowing. Damn, learn TRUE maritime laws. If you refute this, please do so with maritime law’s from the U.S. Intercostal waterways. I really don’t want to pull up the laws, HOWEVER I WILL. Do you even own a boat over 40’ in length? Just curious.

I'm taking it back. Since I'm not U.S. intercoastal waterways certified (I'm European - so I'm IALA "A" certified) I'm frankly asking you to point law you mentioned. I'd love to learn more. Thank you

You ain't seen nothing until you've seen a full size Great Lakes Freighter makings it's way up the Manistee River in MI under its own power. The river is all of maybe 300 yards or so across is all. And, there's a bend in the river at a draw bridge not too far inland from Lake Michigan. The freighters actually have to use a big bundle of pilings set up on the inside of the bend to pivot the ship around in order to make the turn. Amazing to watch.
