New Sunseeker 76 Yacht Docking & Manoeuvring - Captains View of this £3.8m GBP Luxury Yacht

Join James Lumley from Sunseeker Southampton on a behind the scenes experience of close quarters manoeuvring a brand new Sunseeker 76 flybridge motor yacht. Sunseeker Southampton (a part of the Sunseeker London Group) - 41 offices across 20 countries, we are the largest Sunseeker distributor in the world, covering the majority of the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Africa.
I am often asked what yachts are like to handle in close quarters, so took this opportunity to demonstrate how they can be positioned in tight spots, with minimal effort. We have a knowledgable team of training captains, who can take you from novice to expert aboard your own boat, so don't be put off by the daunting stories of how hard they are to drive!
A yacht such as this is a real proposition for those still wanting to maintain an owner-operator style of boating, with just 2 people onboard. She is equally at home with a full-time professional crew of 3, so the choice is yours!!

Excellent finally a Yacht channel that actually teaches you something instead of just opening drawers and cupboards and waving at yourself in the mirror.

[@wesleyfoster3545]

That's pretty unfair on Aquaholic which is who you're obviously aiming this comment at. Nick's whole MO is purely to showcase the design and functionality of vessels rather than giving people tutorials on how to drive.

[@justininvestor]

@@wesleyfoster3545 he opens drawers and closets and waves at himself . He actually tells u next to nothing about the boat.

[@wesleyfoster3545]

@@justininvestor Yes, because that's what he does and specialises in. He also tells you a lot about the boat? I don't get it? He details the engines, the interiors, exteriors.. you're judging his channel by expecting different content to what he makes?

[@MrSamrobz]

Make no mistake what he just did looks easy but it most definitely is not. Super impressive skills, all while remaining calm.

[@ricciodrake]

This dude is a smooth operator

[@pekka75]

Best you tube channel on boat's for sure! And the only Chanel that actually drive the boat's he is reviewing, yes I know he is a professional sales man, but I love it regardless.

[@pekka75]

Sorry for my bad English 😬

[@FlyWithMe_666]

Like in all activities, sports etc - when professionals do it, it looks so smooth and easy! Impressive.

[@photos28801]

There's taking a boat out and TAKING A BOAT OUT. Not only driving but narrating. Well done.

[@GeoffreyWBlee]

Well now, here is a fellow that knows what he’s doing. It was a short trip but I learned a lot thank you. I never realised those big boats are so touchy .

[@rossrosco9423]

I’d love to see more vids like this James.

[@EhTeamAustralia]

I second this. As much as I like watching the walk throughs I like seeing them in action too.

[@glennstroud6932]

Agree, these are fantastic and provide a real insight into what it would be like to own of the these (or dream about!!). Keep them coming James!

[@tomerik1716]

Skipper know his boat👍 Great driving🥇

[@admiralsadventures]

Love these types of videos showing you the whole start up and manoeuvre of large vessels. You make it look so easy and would love to see you set up the nav etc and take a boat out to show you how easy it can be done solo (if possible) Another couple of things I’d love to see is the process of how you go about speccing and buying your boat, also how the handover of a boat should be done from dealer to customer on delivery day (if there is such a thing) I know many owners wouldn’t want to be on KZbin but perhaps a mock up of a boat handover? Great video again and looking forward to your next one whatever it may be 😃

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Some great ideas here and something I will work towards doing in the future for sure.

[@garrenhightower2737]

Check out my son's docking skills thanks

[@shanesanko1408]

Awesome driving

[@breikali846]

Marvellous, calm and well eloquently explained. Salute.

[@ridermak4111]

I’m retired and have never owned a boat of any size, but I sure do enjoy watching any master of his craft. Outstanding ! 😎

[@mikecall2057]

What a skilled boat driver! Thanks for the in depth narration and simple walk thru! I’d love lessons from someone like you!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you James for this maneuvering this yacht in the dock area. That was really nice to showing potential purchasing clients and enthusiastic people how to handle your yacht in very tough spots.

[@vmegaro]

That looks easy. Try docking a 30’ without power thrusters and six drunks aboard. Not so easy. :). Great skills James.

[@kohrsthomas]

Vielen Dank. That was just great to watch

[@kevmas]

You made that look very easy James.. modern technology don’t you just love it !

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Yes. Modern techkgy why chef came oucjk up miden techgy

[@kvinteractive8981]

Feck this was one of the most nerve wracking videos I've seen in a while. That reversing out of the berth had me clenching. Amazing. Just got yourself a new sub.

[@Dobermanator]

Fantastic how you make it near impossible for someone to rule out owner / operator. Well done Captain James Video!

[@siroboo9471]

It’s amazing how you were able to film and maneuver at the same time, wow 😮 😅

[@patrickleahy770]

Very informative... thanks for the video!

[@peterhassack]

Thank you for another enjoyable and informative video James. It is clear from the ease in which you performed the tricky manoeuvres, shows a confidence obviously gained from several years of handling motor yachts. As a land-lubber who has never been on-board a yacht of this size, much less piloted one, it was nothing short of amazing to me that a 76ft motor yacht could be handled so easily with only small adjustments to the throttles and thrusters. I look forward to your next video.

[@edsbloggingcom]

It all looks so easy 👍😀

[@darylpike8547]

I'd love to do that for a living. I haven't driven a yacht since I done my helmsman course.

[@basilreardon5783]

What a beautiful toy 👍 After watching you use the bow and stern thrusters undocking out of that tight slip, this gave me the necessary thumbs up to do this myself . Nice job young man 👍

[@royowens2869]

Lovely boat control

[@se1mase]

Awesome maneuvering 👍

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Thanks ✌️

[@joerobilotta2199]

This is a cool video

[@Unitedflyier]

Well done with that maneuver. I just finished my RYA level 2 at that marina and was doing turns in those finger channels in a RIB like you had in your video. The fact that you did that in a 76 yacht I can only aspire to your level of skill. Well done. 👍

[@smurf9857]

Impressive skills!

[@russellhopwood661]

wow you make it look so easy i was sweating just watching

[@myleslant4301]

Great skills James....You make it look so easy!!!! The art of a good skipper.

[@jibguy2003]

you make it look easy!

[@whitestar0284]

Fantastic boat handling James

[@pekoyrabino5335]

Thank you captain

[@MR_BJH]

Another lovely boat James, love the specification and the fact how simple it is to get in and out of your docking area!

[@richardsimpson2599]

MOT

[@TradeWindgng]

Brilliant Job Captain Love those maneuver and docking videos you bring. That was tight slip.....raising the Hat . Keep them coming please.

[@justincase5272]

Very well done!

[@legin999]

A class act demonstrating some seriously superb seamanship and close-quarter manoeuvres. A fine example of planning and the benefit of dead slow at all times.

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Thanks!

[@mattpurcy7504]

Very well done mate.

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@CFazz]

Nicely done.

[@titane22]

That was absolutly facinating! You made it look so easy. GREAT video, thanks.

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

Excellent skills again James,i appreciate that you show the movements on the throttles,very smooth

[@adamfaizey9393]

Great Video James . That looked tight and you made look so easy to manoeuvre out of a tricky situation. 👍👍

[@richardwoodward6702]

Fantastic video

[@ReedStephan]

Brilliant and well presented!

[@lukieboy549]

Excellent job well done skip !

[@regpug8295]

Nice job 👍

[@magiscichoam]

Superb boat handling with a comprehensive and precise description of all aspects of your maneuvering. An exceptional presentation. Bravo!

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertmeader10]

Absolutely amazing to watch. Thank you for this.

[@ianbriden7907]

You make it look so easy

[@JD-pe4vg]

Wow! Great job backing that thing out

[@ianrkav]

Is James the manoeuvre master or what? Impressive stuff:-)

[@jaimelopez3991]

Very instructional video!! Thanks captain!

[@ronen160]

Like a Master!

[@johnhuntington9509]

Well done cap. Impressive

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

Capital job and a great instructional video. 👍

[@jaffaholland4039]

Great video love that you show all aspect of boating

[@charliehyett1574]

This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

Awesome video 😎👍

[@ejr5480]

Good job! Nice explaining as you go! Make some more videos. Perhaps start up, leave marina and go on a 30-40 minute ocean trip and then arriving and docking at new marina.

[@chrish2996]

Hi James. Well done manoeuvre. Great video thanks 😊

[@memorylane1980s]

Fascinating! thx

[@steveross2908]

Looks like a beautiful place! Pretty hairy , good thing it wasn’t an 80! Great job, Captain!

[@mrt3976]

Impressive boat handling 👍

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Thanks 👍

[@chrisjones9115]

Imagine doing that without the joystick! VERY, VERY WELL DONE !! I thought if I was ever fortunate enough to own my own yacht it would be between 60’ and 100’. Small enough I could run it myself. After watching this dude I can assure you if I ever do own one I’m gonna have to hire a captain and few crew!

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

You'd be amazed how quickly you'd get to grips with it, although something much bigger than this would sure be nice to have at least one crew for general cleaning/maintenance/hauling lines etc.

[@matthewatkinson1482]

James, that was great! Good job! I enjoyed that video & your explanations were awesome ... thank you!

[@garrenhightower2737]

Check out my 9 year old son docking my 41 ft boat thanks

[@gerfly]

Great video, you make it luck so easy!

[@richardsimpson2599]

Would love to hear what you said when you realized there was a boat parked in the way, ha ha.

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Haha it wasn't quite as bad as you'd think, but it did take me by surprise!

[@jpduarte5080]

well done and well handled, very helpful

[@gb3496]

More like this!

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Stay tuned for some more to come!

[@antonoat]

Nicely done!

[@julianmead9157]

I know Swanwick Marina well, we collected our Princess 56 from there before shipping it to Portugal. Congratulations, that was a seriously tight berth and an exceptional manoeuver, even more so with a GoPro in one hand!

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Thanks! Congrats on the P56, they are a lovely boat.

[@blackmamba5380]

I would have crush definetely!!!!!

[@BrawndoQC]

I about to take possession of an Azimut Atlantis 50, and while I sailed a Hunter 410 for years, 50 with a 55 LOA makes me a bit intimidated at the dock. That was very useful. Thanks!

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

No worries at all and good luck with your new boat.

[@adys6115]

Superb buddy, really well done.

[@elvistosku6241]

Good job well done…i would like to see another camera on the throttle…will be perfect 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Thanks! Yup I have started doing this on my more recent tours and think it gives a good perspective.

[@vibeflyer]

I'm amazed at how simple you made that look.

[@jamiefrost3338]

Excellent video showing your superb boat control James and the fact Stuart just leaves you to it and doesn’t give you any guidance or direction shows the mutual confidence. I would want someone on each corner telling me all is good 🤣😎

[@JamesSmith-bj9vk]

That was a very interesting video. Thanks for sharing!

[@bryanlogue8035]

Yeah well done - as you say slow & steady wins the race. Top job !

[@deanmacka4975]

Great stuff mate. I liked that video pretty cool stuff mate

[@steveSmith-pd4st]

Excellent! Thanks James 👍

[@ianjackson1192]

Another great video james thanks for sharing 😀👍🏻

[@Sander044]

I was wondering if you could next time do the docking and manoeuvring by joystick? Would be nice to see that also one time for a large Sunseeker yacht.

[@gsmith207]

Fantastic tutorial! Feel like I could almost do it after a few crashes! Ha! Thanks for this. Great handling of that vessel! Cheers! 🍻

[@bluegrasskid4835]

That dude can manuever a boat better than many can a car.

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Yes he dise

[@markfischer2118]

That was cool

[@Countryboy246]

Ty sir I planning on charter a yacht this video was big heal ill subscribe sir

[@davidsneddon8508]

Very informative

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Glad you liked it

[@MrFlyingguy]

superb driving skills, do more of this please. cracking stuff

[@nimrodcap]

Very interesting and most enjoyable to watch. Please film every time you move a boat as it is makes for some of the best videos on here. Thank you for posting great content on here.

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Will do!

[@dalefountain9269]

Very good video James. I very much enjoy seeing the Sunseeker boats.

[@ianlawrence92]

That looked so easy and simple. Coming out of that birth I would have been kacking it. Very very impressive.

[@xrplover2785]

Fantastic real world video! Thanks so much.

[@ZoliAkiApa]

Nerves of steel, blood of ice 😁

[@dotconnector1746]

Now these are some serious skills! I had no idea how you would maneuver this huge yacht out of the narrow berth, but hey, there you go! Great video 😀

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Jet druve bow seen Thayer 60 foot sunset jets

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Thanks James!

[@chris281063]

awesome work James, looks like I was doing that manoeuvre but behind the screen, loved the way you handle

[@TheVirtualYachtBroker]

Glad you enjoyed it
