[@tomdaley9154]

Holy shit, that is THE nicest, cleanest, newest tug ive ever seen. I thought they came out of the factory banged up and rusty lol

[@tugboatwilly843]

😂🤣😂 Thank you Sir!

[@ShainAndrews]

I'm damn near 50 now. I have done a lot of things in my life. Not very often I see a job that impresses me much anymore. This is one hell of a gig. Congrats to all you have done to get to where you are. Oh and to counter a point I see below. There is a whole lot of value in silence... IE not talking. The radio chatter is all a person needs to hear to know what is being done. Their eyes are all that is needed to see how you execute the input to get the desired output. The music in the cabin, the acoustic qualities of the cabin. That is what it sounds like, that is the job, the environment. Far to many people want this finely curated distraction pumped into their brain... Zen is being in the moment.. not trying to make the moment fit them.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thank you so much!! You get it!! I truly appreciate your words and taking the time to write them!! 🫡

[@jakewillits4678]

Tell me about what youve done and learned in those 50 years old wise man

[@HarneyPhoto]

There's two awesome soundtracks happening here, the music and the sound of the motor. Sweet tunes.

[@7983jj]

Exactly! Awesome to watch this man work, but I want his playlist!

[@jedknutson8373]

pass thee herb ....pass thee herb...

[@diggydodges3826]

I like the view of the inside of your boat, its what I'd imagine a spaceship cockpit to look like

[@user-jj3tw1sr7o]

The 1-3 beat of the Reggae music in the background is very good for the nerves needed for this job.

[@MrButuz]

Wow your tug is like a starship. I have fond feeling for tugboats they saved us on a terrible storm crossing from France to uk. Thumbs up.

[@stealthypirate318]

that tug is insane, its like a space ship.

[@scizdott]

Big up on the chill reggae/dub 🇯🇲! Bless up and keep safe chief!

[@papa.mike01]

This pilot is a true craftsman. Anytime one can make a difficult job look easy is a true master. 👍👍

[@noway9880]

oh no

[@brian.7966]

its not rocket science,

[@jonasm3812]

I was in the Coast Guard, stationed at Governors Island and interacted a bunch with the tug operators, and all of them were old types. If I had seen one guy your age, I might’ve gone this way. Really cool, and thanks for posting.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thank you for your service Sir 🫡

[@stponyt]

The USCG used to visit my school on Governors Island pretty often, we had a maritime program operating vessels and scuba diving right off the pier!

[@asherperson5802]

That power from that/ those engine/s is immense. It is nice to see the perspective from the tug, beautiful work.

[@thesteef77]

I didn't really know what I started watching and at 00:22 I was like: Holy Mackerels! Is that a green sky and a pink sea at sunset??

[@lueyR]

Exactly what i thought hahah or it wqs a filter screen over the windows

[@ajones7628]

OMG me too!!! D'oh 🙄

[@brightonwhite2304]

I love that🤔 stick figure playlist and boating all day:) sign me up!

[@paulwood5803]

From an(Ex) Mariner to another, mighty fine shiphandling my friend. Take a bow.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thank you sir! Much appreciated 🫡

[@idonjohnson6999]

The bow. I see what you did there.

[@kmcdonnell83]

A bulbous bow

[@Forbidaxe]

I watch some random stuff, can't beat this though... Sunshine and water, sweet tunes and the hum of the engine, staring out the front of your starship looking bridge. Can even listen to this without watching.

[@chrissimmonds4898]

I’m a push boat pilot. Always impressed by y’all’s boats and what y’all do.

[@jimydoolittle3129]

Awesome Job 👍Little but very powerful 🚢 💪

[@Homegoki]

Алексей, спасибо за профессионализм.

[@robertsmith-fj2rx]

Nice video. I have stood on a bridge many times in the past as tugs did their job. I would really like you to make a video to explain the power plant and how you manoeuvre one of these tugs. They are so different to standard vessels.

[@dan04r1]

I’m an equipment operator and it always fascinates me to watch someone doing something completely different but still mechanical. Great video!!

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thanks for watching!

[@jeffacko465]

One i love tugs, and two , i just love the sound of big marine diesels, fn awesome

[@tugboatwilly843]

Same!!

[@philipjesse2271]

Love videos like this great work . Not many videos of tugs moving ships from the cab .

[@tugboatwilly843]

Much appreciated 🤙

[@Tandemdesigns]

This is so much fun to watch and also super relaxing. When the Channel grows more it would be cool to see a 360 camera outside.

[@user-jd6nd9fj1j]

Actually I was on the bridge at that time. It’s quite a special experience to see our ship from this angle thanks for the video

[@73roen]

I like your playlist 😂 Good vibes…

[@henryravu1859]

That's one cool pilot house..thanks for sharing man. 👍👍👍

[@kentwarnick5435]

Wow, what a fun video! That is a sweet boat.

[@elhnston6589]

I enjoyed that more then I thought, great video :)

[@kavorka8855]

I am blown away! Driving such giant ships!

[@Marvin-hp4ki]

Dont know how i come here, but ... impressive. Thats a Spaceship man

[@cpl_0503]

That was fascinating. The talent needed is just incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@AFowkingPanda]

God that's such a beautiful fuggin' wheelhouse. It's like you're flying a space ship! Subbed!

[@MegaRetr]

Wow your tug is like a starship

[@tugboatwilly843]

🖖

[@richardcasey4439]

I had no idea how cool these tugboats are. Very impressive.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Very Cool, good job.

[@notsure984]

I like the design of that bridge and I like the tunes!!!

[@Propaneo-insaneo]

Love your work love your life. Keep it up bro

[@jafo326]

I have had the opportunity of going on pilot boats and tag along with pilots and watch them at work. You guys on the tugs ROCK !! Love the vid

[@biohazardjuicd8513]

this is amazing what a job cant wait to see more

[@charlieinsingapore]

Wow, fascinating stuff. Never been on board a tug before and now I have thanks to you! Cheers!

[@tugboatwilly843]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-jj3tw1sr7o]

As a boat owner for a few years and one of my primary goals is not to run into another boat, it is really cool watching someone do it on purpose.

[@ewicander9045]

Great video. Love to hear brief explanations of what's going on, but not too much. I felt like i got to pull up a chair and join you. Really enjoyed it.

[@-lnelyphnknaut-319]

Finally type of content I was looking for!

[@TeachMeTheGuitar]

I see where inspiration for some of these spaceship cockpits come from.

[@allenanthony9798]

From the port of Hampton Roads Norfolk VA I see this often and my hats off to you my man fine job 😎👍🏾

[@lifeguard92646]

What a cool profession. Great video!

[@Mark-me8uj]

I love it when he picks a spot and keeps on it. Watch something inside like one of the wiper bits and compare it to where it stays in relation to the ship.

[@lekoman]

Now *that* is a helm station. Very, very cool.

[@hazel-vf7on]

This looks like a spaceship cockpit. I love it

[@RoFiHan]

Cool video! Very calming. I like the way you are handling everything. Greeting from Germany, Hannover.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thank you very much Sir!

[@flyingcheff]

Great to find, more piloting to understand. Love it! It would be fantastic to have concurrent drone footage.

[@Ryan-hi6zg]

Slighty stoopid! Love the music

[@GlennWheelerDrone]

Really good stuff. Enjoyed it a lot.

[@SourBogBubble]

Thanks for the efforts!

[@princezsshorts3209]

unless im mistaken this is the interior of a tugboat. such cool "little boats" so much fun watching them zip around

[@boatmanbenjamin]

What a brilliant channel. Thanks for sharing your awesome skills 🤘

[@tugboatwilly843]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@onelegmexican]

My man playing some tropidelic! Love the music styling of this man. Will come out to Ohio in August for everwild!

[@onelegmexican]

Also you are doing some technically awesome work my man!

[@michaelcowan1750]

Fantastic..... I always thought being a Tug Captain would be an exciting job!! Mike.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thanks Mike!!

[@brian.7966]

trouble is your told what to do all the time.

[@gazrayt]

@@brian.7966be kinda pointless if you just went out pushing stuff around of your own accord

[@Propaneo-insaneo]

@@gazrayt😂

[@Propaneo-insaneo]

@@brian.7966do you really want to freelance tugging a 100 bil ship

[@rogerbartley2225]

Very cool to watch, nice job buddy

[@matthewrogers94mr]

First video Ive watch from ya, youtube recommended yiur video and Im definitely interested in your content!

[@jjosephm7539]

Worked for McAllister and Moran as a mate back in the Local 333 days. Good memories

[@ukman9797]

Awesome!

[@nickfrumusa7705]

Love the music choice! Being a younger guy and the top dog i can only imagine how hard you have worked over the years to achieve that position. I am a equipment operator and the controls and engine compartment seem so interesting to me. If you ever get a chance that would be cool to see how the controls work and what size engine and all that stuff.

[@RettSan6911]

Nice Job and a "Moin" from Hamburg Germany

[@CantWheelieBro]

Awesome video man, love these full length job videos. Love the camera angle too, keep it up man.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Awesome, thank you!

[@CaptainTripps107]

great vids and background tunes brother

[@goodss2730]

Like the cockpit of the constellation, just struts everywhere

[@Sy-Con]

Keep at it fellas!! Blue collar life !💪

[@trustinthemachine]

What a great "office" view!

[@JasonWh]

Nice content, Will. Something I haven't seen before.

[@saafan]

Gr8 work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dferrantiJfr]

Thanks for the ride cpt.

[@tecwzrd]

Can you do a tour of your tug? Would love a look around and especially the engine compartment :)

[@ChrisEpler]

Thanks for sharing your office with us! I would never have seen something like this had I not come upon your video! How did you end up in your position? Was your family in maritime growing up? Looks like an interesting job! Thanks again!

[@framfull]

Damn thats one hell of an office🤠

[@johns8771]

Enjoyed the seeing things from your perspective. If allowed, you might want to consider a lapel microphone.

[@chadgdry3938]

2:33 That looks so Space Ship-esque. Really cool

[@WilliamLee-bv4tv]

Always great to find another Stick Figure enjoyer😀

[@bouncenerd]

I’m more of a Chet Hanks fan myself

[@terryreynolds4184]

great video my friend

[@bigpapaharambe3565]

Super interesting, never seen this point of view before. Really cool..started looking at a career change! lol

[@MyTroy1990]

Great Vid Loved it !!

[@dannycrooks8462]

Fantastic video

[@edmctug8800]

Smooth Docking and sailing, hell of a lot better than old singel screw boats and twin screw tugs !

[@thijskleijngeld681]

That swinging radio in front of my face all the time would make me crazy.

[@shippingintheuk2439]

cracking footage.. i love tug boats i am currently studying to try and become a tug skipper myself will. Take care, i will see you on the next watch.

[@tugboatwilly843]

Thank you sir! Enjoy the journey 🫡

[@jamesburnside3023]

Very Cool

[@etravix]

First time on your channel. Cool video and thanks for sharing. New subscriber. Hopefully, I'll find a video about your tug.

[@arthurcitron9774]

Spot on!👊🏻🇺🇸

[@tugboatwilly843]

💯🫡

[@magnusmyhre8540]

Love your video!👌🏻😃 And really love the sound of your engines! What type of engines are they? Beautiful 🤩

[@ballpython324]

nice office 👍

[@josh9399]

skills! good stuff!

[@cicevieira]

good job and nice soundtrack!

[@user-lp3qs7so5d]

Крутая работа чувак👍💪 Респект буксиристам💪

[@TechOttawa]

Such a cool angle to watch this finesse! But hey, a headset mic with a PTT on one of the helm controls would seem to be a major improvement to a swinging CB mic from "Convoy"?? OVER

[@bentheguru4986]

Looks like that would be a cool job.

[@stephenkibunja]

Mad respect for the work you do. It’s very interesting how tugs work. I wish you had more camera angles to show the process. A couple of GoPros outside would make for some good angles

[@FTW523.]

Those ships are monstrous

[@industrialman1]

Great content and fascinating job. One tip, use a lapel mic maybe a rode wireless go II so we can hear your voice it will make the video pop. Sound is everything.

[@KaosTheory89]

very cool

[@worwor1721]

Took me a couple seconds at 0:40 to realise that isn’t some cool digital screen showing you the horizon in different colours ... I was thinking it was something similar to thermal imaging or night vision and then realised you’re just right up against the ship
