Super Yacht Captain CABIN TOUR | Life As A Crew Member On A Yacht When You're No. 1

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Does this make you want to work your way up the ranks more quickly??? I look forward to hearing your thoughts...

[@zachschultz5049]

Brilliant video as always. Double bed is certainly good motivation to work your way up the rank quickly. :)

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

@Zach Schultz Thank you Zach. As you can see, I'm very excited about the idea of a double bed!

[@frankv4271]

I have a curiosity question. When crew leave the yacht any of the following reasons, vacation leave, rotation, fired or quit. Do they leave with the yacht provided uniforms?

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

@Frank V Good question! The uniform remains the property of the yacht, and must be returned on termination of the contract.

[@CaptainCamAdderley]

🤣🤣😂. The bed scene really made my day. I am sure it’s a double shower too.

[@raynold3351]

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am looking forward to watching a video one day of you announcing that you are Captain. I enjoy your videos. Stay safe.

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Thanks Raynold. I shall make the announcement from my double bed! Wishing you a very Happy New Year!

[@lindadoerr7919]

Great videos. I enjoy your humorous descriptions and facial expressions! Thanks for the informative fun. I sub'd!!

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Thank you, Linda. I really appreciate your kind feedback, and welcome to the channel!

[@jamesmatthews291]

Happy New Year. Love the tip about the Capt's windows! Got a feeling that's a lesson learned the hard way... 🙂

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Happy New Year James! You're absolutely right! I've even worked for a Captain who required that not a single drop of water be dripped on the teak whilst cleaning the windows.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Matthew, you must have the nicest Captain in the world 🗺 with an incredible sense of humor!

I shall tell him you said that! 😇

I'm pretty sure you'll get your own double bed soon. Matt the stewardess has done good work on the glass in the shower.

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Thanks SailorYuki! I promise it really was the chief stewardess that cleaned the shower, and not one of the many Matthews! Wishing you a very Happy New Year.

Happy New Years, Matthew! Looks like someone got sent to the Captains Office hey! Witty and clever as usual, with so little material at your disposal, but you manage to make it, well, big. Loved your video as usual. Two thumbs up.

Thanks Frank! Glad you liked this one; I had a lot of fun making it. Wishing you a very happy and healthy 2021!

@Frank V Hello Frank! I just wanted to let you know that this weekend's video has been delayed; but, all is well and it will be up tomorrow afternoon.

[@frankv4271]

@@WorkonaSuperyacht Thank you for letting me know, I greatly appreciate the heads up and knowing all is good with you, I feel special! :) LOL PS Thinking out loud here. What about creating a very short video just to say something like sorry for the delay, work and life got in the way of the releasing of the weekly video. Make it like an Emergency Broadcast were you advise when you you believe the release will be. I think this would be hilarious :) LOL

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

@Frank V That would be hilarious! Although I wonder if taking the time to do that may end up delaying the actual video even further! What I really need to do is start using the community tab, because I think that's the only way to send out a single message to all subscribers. It's on the to-do list for 2021!

Thanks Alex! It still hasn't grown, but at least the mattress was dry by the time I went to bed!

[@MarceauD]

Hi Matt, I had somewhat of a strange question for you which might make for an interesting video topic(?) Could you perhaps talk on protecting/maintaining your skin? I just started my superyacht deckhand course and all of my instructors are either super tanned(and burnt) or have very leathery skin from what I assume is prolonged exposure over the years. Was just wondering if you had any tips on how to prevent that? Although I am sure sunscreen is good place to start haha. Thank you so much for your wonderful insights!

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Hello Marceau. This is a really interesting topic, and one which I had never considered doing a video on before now. You're right that it's a big problem, and chapter 3.7 of the Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seafarers deals with this specifically. Sun cream is definitely a good start, but the best way to protect your skin is to shade it completely. If you have been exposed to the sun, a good quality after sun will help re-hydrate your skin, as will drinking plenty of water. Yachts should provide you with all of these products, and you should receive a cap as part of your uniform to help protect your head and face. You'll want to make sure that you keep a bottle of sun cream in the wash locker, tender, down on the swim platform, or wherever else you might be spending a lot of time, for reapplication throughout the day. I shall have a look at how I can incorporate this information into a future video. Thank you for commenting, and for supporting the channel!

[@lisalane7648]

What does the entire inside of the Super Black Pearl Look like? I can't seem to find the video??

[@dunnkenny]

Are all first mates in such nice shape?

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

That's very kind of you to say! The first mate role is pretty active on a yacht of this size, so it's likely that most of us are in fairly good shape.

[@johneasleyusa]

Happy New Year Rob, and welcome to the channel! The yacht is private, and unfortunately I'm not able to disclose much information. I can tell you that she is 40 metres in length, and was built in the UK. I show what I can, and I hope you will be able to find lots of value in the channel.

[@nicholaspappas9712]

Please define the difference between Captain and Ships Master.

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Great question! I often use the terms interchangeably, but after a little research I see that there is in fact a difference! From what I understand, Captain is a general term used to describe someone acting in the capacity of Master on a ship; however, it is not a rank (unless you're talking about naval ships). Master is a rank on board, and in any official documentation you will only ever find the word Master used; for example, "Call the Master". Master is also a qualification; we have qualifications such as Master 3000 or Master Unlimited, but never Captain Unlimited. As a result, there can only be one Captain on a ship at a time, and one Master of that ship, but there could be more than one Master holding Master's qualifications. This is getting complicated! Here's a link to the article where I found this information: gcaptain.com/call-captain-not/#:~:text=Captain%20is%20a%20general%20and,state%20of%20command%20or%20authority.&text=In%20commercial%20shipping%2C%20master%20has,meaning%20while%20captain%20does%20not.

[@joshuamiles2746]

Are you allowed to have long hair as a deckhand?

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

Hello Joshua. Generally speaking, you will be required to have a short and tidy haircut; however, this might be relaxed for current crew during periods of downtime. I certainly wouldn't recommend trying to look for a job with long hair.

As a retired media producer I concure with Sylvie. Your delivery is way too jumpy (think Captian Kirk), just slow down and talk normally it will transmit much smoother to the camera. Camera work is nicely done and well lit!

[@reeseworkshop7889]

I do not work on yachts. I agree the captain’s windows are important but the owner can fire you.

[@WorkonaSuperyacht]

That's very true! I highlight the captain's windows because they are more likely to be overlooked. If it happens repeatedly it can start to raise questions in the captain's mind about how effective the deckhands are at doing their job.
