[@WasNotWas999]

The true talent here is how easy the captain makes it look...

[@lucianosantucci108]

Nice work 👍

[@zasde35]

Professional routine not so special, done 10,000 times a day round the world . But still a perfect job . Do not forget these yachts have a double prop and a stern and bow thruster .

[@crew005]

Yes, you do make it look easy. That’s a sign of a great captain! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@gredarthd5292]

Have to say Tristan if I had a superyacht I would want you as my captain cause making it look that easy is a sign of being a master of your craft :) Another great video keep them coming :)

[@KW-yf8nm]

Triston, Thank you for the amazing content you post! I've been following you for quite some time. My wife and I are owner/operators of a 2008 Lazzara 75 LSX similar to Lizzy. For personal and privacy reason, we have always operated our boats ourselves, without onboard crew. We do have what we refer to as a "dockside captain" and his team who care for the boat while at our dock, but it is just the two of us while cruising. For the most part, we cruise Florida waters and The Bahamas. Over the past 30 or more years, we have owned and operated several yachts ranging in size from 37' to 75'. Even with that experience, I never stop learning new things and your channel has certainly added to that education. All that to say thank you and keep up the great work!

[@maxflight777]

It’s all about the briefing and communication. Tremendous clarity from the skipper. No ambiguity. Calm and clear

[@CAUSELESSREBEL]

Well done, Captain. You made a tricky maneuver look easy. Good teamwork with your crew. Mrs. Captain looking glorious as per usual.

[@CAUSELESSREBEL]

@Super Yacht Captain▪️ I don't deal with fake accounts from Mumbai. I just report them.

[@livinglifeat212]

Like a boss… not just referring to the docking, but also the backward baseball cap and sunglasses 😎

[@phillipsiviter2024]

You made that look easy - in spite of the distraction from the other boat.

[@janlul2308]

A big thumbs up for your videos AND for your English. It is perfect understandable for people which are not native speaker English. Like me, from The Netherlands....

[@martinsassenberg9420]

02:00 I like how his eyes permanently "radar" the area in front of the boat while he is speaking. :)

[@FLH3official]

A 180° change in the wind is a great classic of the Mediterranean, I've seen this kind of reversing in fraction of hour. Regarding Portoferrario I remember few decades ago we stayed there for 2 or 3 days with my parent's sail boat. There was no fresh water available on tap in these times in this harbour and the water was delivered some days in the week with a tanker truck. And in these times there was no fresh water making units on boats, we only relied on our tanks. About the fenders on a such low dock: you can attach them on both sides and put them horizontaly, it will increase their surface in contact with the dock. And generaly, how to dock? "Hit the cheapest thing as slow as possible"

[@assassinlexx1993]

Smooth as silk. A clear sign of a good captain and crew. Time for one more wash down before the storm.

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Man, I’m really impressed, nailed it perfectly!!! And that folks is why I’m enjoying this channel. He shows us all aspects of various jobs on the yacht.

[@Dmate89]

I know it is nowhere close to the league of this kind of sailoring, and professionism, but Tristan says in the video something like slow makes a pro. Literally the same I got when I maneuvered a tour-canoe to shore in flood-currents on the Danube in Hungary for the first time. This made me relive this memory, related to a good man, canoing on the other end of the rainbow for many years now. Thank you

[@edmyers6919]

Fast but smooth and slick, well done

[@JayFreezeBoston]

WOW! Tristan, you make this very difficult maneuver look so easy. As a boat owner, 29ft Chaparral 276ssx, docking is by far the hardest thing to do when boating, I couldn't imagine trying to dock a superyacht like this. I'd like to think it is a little easier with twin screws and a bow thruster though. Well done! I enjoy all your content, and you seem like a gentleman. cheers from the U.S.

[@bobconaway]

"Slow is pro." Yes, indeed!

[@tlstechtalk]

I get nervous parallel parking my Subaru. A boat this size, Tremendous job!

[@ralphcrawford8331]

Excellent shiphandling! Amazing how easy you make it look. Very professional of you to ignore the rude boat to port for not moving their tender.

[@CAUSELESSREBEL]

@Super Yacht Captain▪️ fake account. Report it. And gone after being reported.

[@RayM53]

Low docks are always a problem. I've been through the Kiel Canal a few times and the floating pontoon there is really just railway sleepers floating six inches clear of the water. Our technique there is to lower the fenders until they are floating horizontally and reducing the risk of them riding up above the dock and having a scrape on the hull.

[@collenwoods361]

My heart rate actually sped up, great job.

[@jemano14]

I’m a captain myself running a 90ft vessel, but love the docking videos 👍🏻👨🏻‍✈️

[@gsmith207]

Feels like a briefing and going over the mission! Love it! Makes sense that with this size vessel you treat it in a military way. Failure is not an option. Makes me wanna suit up and hit the decks to help! Thanks Captain T and rest of crew. We all love this by the looks of comments. No need for fluffy fake drama. This is real! Cheers from Maine! 🍻 And btw AWOL will fit in Portland Harbor, we get cruise ships all the time! Mon ovah bub!

[@eaunan]

G Smith "...Makes me wanna suit up and hit the decks to help!..." I had the exact same thought while watching this video!

[@dionlindsay2]

A couple of years ago I was bringing the boat we'd hired in to dock after a good day's fishing with my brother. I'm a better boatman than angler, so I was glad to show off my docking skills, based on the "half the speed you think reasonable" adage and anticipating the effect of the swell to the inch. Compliments from the docking official, and even the bro said well done. Then I stumbled as soon as I stepped onto the dock and fell into the official's arms. Hard to maintain an air of easy superiority after that :-)

[@rexpayne7836]

There's no room for error. Your owner must be thankful for having a skilled, professional Captain.

[@SuperYachtCaptain]

Thank you 🙏

[@thomasthomas001]

Shout out to "Bullet" last minute fender adjustment to protect gelcoat!!, one bad Bullet!!

[@geek360]

Absolute masterclass and cool as a cucumber throughout despite the fact that the slightest error could result in hundreds of thousands of damage!

[@attaat]

You made that look easy, good crew.

[@keithdoyle2613]

Love this channel......addictive

[@wildqtip6482]

Should be Admiral of a Super yacht. This guys really good!!! Nice job 👍

[@danielcookeb90]

calmly done! Very professional.

[@hinnomura]

Still can’t believe how calm you remain with the obstruction and the angle needed to avoid it. The inertia of your yacht would make me extremely cautious and I think I would have taken 2 to 3 times as long. Very impressive docking.

[@rudideghelt]

I am always impressed, the calm in the maneuver of the Awol. Me watching the video, I stress. Thank you Tristan for this sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TankIOW]

That was very impressive, plus a man who can multi task lol. Good job done.

[@denispronovost4690]

Nicely done as usual !

[@byrd203]

I saw the video on the Fan install the side of the fan where the label Doesn't move that's always the Exit side of any fan that size just a tech guy that knows that info always spin your fans by hand before install check the label side the label that spins is the back of the fan always remember that just giving a tip Love the Videos supper Yacht Captain you do such a great job on the videos keep up the great work

[@spaceboyrust]

Great video Think about buying a deadcat mic cover for the outside POV the audio quality will be upgraded a lot since all the wind will be blocked out. They are really cheap aswell :)

[@DrAlexMore]

Amwesoms!!! More more technical videos!

[@sashad8204]

Really professional captain and crew. So calm what great leadership.

[@normbond8888]

Very interesting vlog Tristan. Most ppl couldn’t back their cars into a garage so effortlessly & all this while doing a narrative on a GoPro. Once you get a new larger vessel to captain your learning curve will have to increase accordingly.👍

[@eileenreay7021]

I am in awe, like a well oiled machine 🤩

[@Donald_Shaw]

Well done Captain Tristan and crew. Great job as always.

[@norbertogorini9750]

Nice job, Captain,,,ty for the videos

[@davidhaskell7564]

Very nicely done. You can tell a very experienced Captain by the way they dock, and that was spot on.

[@irishkristoff1691]

ABSOLUTELY amazing to watch the professional team work . Amazing to me. 🗽👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@davidrobertson606]

On trip to Alaska in Prince Rupert we got to see a very good Captain land a 130 foot boat to the dock beside us. The boat had a crew of 2 and a female captain who was around 30. She came into dock at a good speed put boat in reverse then pushed boat into dock with thrusters. The dock was about 2 feet above the water. In 5 minutes with no shore assistance boat was docked and tied. Then they all went to the pub at the end of the dock. Next day they passed us going south. She was very good. Called us and told us she putting out 12 foot waves and would slow as she went by us. She said she had to be in Vancouver in a day thus need for speed. We also have seen captains who yell at crew and bang dock. One damaged his swim platform and bent the railing around it.

[@Slonge92]

Thanks as always for your great videos. I don’t remember past videos having so much camera movement, roller coaster style. It seems like you used to catch more of the scenery in frame, for long enough to appreciate it, with less looking down. If you’re wearing a camera on your head I can understand all of the erratic movements. No problem, I don’t mind just listening to it like a podcast. Thanks again!

[@SierraLimaOscar]

Yes he is wearing a go pro on his head (hence the reversed baseball cap). And while I agree that cinematographically the jerky movements are not ideal, I really like how it shows me where he is looking and by association what he is concentrating on at that moment. Also gives a very first person view of the action. So for videos like this one I actually prefer it to a perfect steady camera work.

[@Slonge92]

JayZee: I definitely appreciate the value of that camera perspective, but a fixed camera behind and slightly above him would have been a better placement. Glad I wasn’t the only one who mentioned it. Like I said, I would just listen like it was a podcast.

[@dm1927]

Sir always enjoy watching yourself and crew working as a team. So enjoy your channel hopefully for many many months down the road 👍

[@raymayes6639]

Nice driving.

[@madplumpy1]

How easy do you make that look!

[@dazzler5012]

A pitty the other boat didn't move their tender, especially as they were on deck. Great video all.

[@dazzler5012]

@Super Yacht Captain▪️ what boat are you moving to afyer awol

[@craigroosa9321]

Love to watch these videos , so interesting and get to travel through you . Your talent is over the top ! You make it look easy and I know it is anything but . Great job and great videos !

[@TradeWindgng]

Great maneuver captain , love your commentary while maneuvering and describing what are you doing in relation between the engines and the vessel movements while docking. great job captain keep them coming

[@ah244895]

Bet you can also parallel park in the city. Good job!

[@dd0526]

Nice job CAP!!

[@russellrobson7632]

Very nice and controlled docking. Three words on the approach, BRM - Bridge Resource Management. Lots of distractions, no deck officer or deck hand to assist...

[@rodtrevor2315]

Awesome captain, just love the technical stuff. thank you.

[@rchuyck]

Great video, that pier is so low, could easily see the fenders popping up on top and not providing adequate protection for the hull. The starboard ground line is a life saver. Well done!

[@sergetatarinov2851]

I like the video before i even watch it 😂 just his positive energy is enough 😁😁 thank you

[@bionicsjw]

I love your content Capt. Morlock.. It has given me great prospective of what you do. I subscribed early on because I love watching a KZbin Channel with content I like grow. Keep up the great content and thank you.

[@billvs6505]

Excellent commentary - thank you! Very interesting to see how a large yacht is handled. Good crew communications. Watching from the beautiful mountains of Colorado, USA.

[@Aereaux]

My Colorado mountains down here in the SW corner are pretty dry. Wish it would rain for 40 days and 40 nights.

[@billvs6505]

@@Aereaux Totally agree - your part of the state is very dry. We desperately need rain.

[@sureshgamlath7332]

Highly skilled captain.

[@stevebennett282]

Made that look way too easy.. guess I’m used to gusting winds and 12’ tides here in the Pacific NW..!! Well done!👍😎👍

[@lgriestra]

Another great class of how to dock. Thanks captain.

[@etaburken2209]

Fabulous video, thank you!

[@04SURE]

Professional 💯

[@jennyt7612]

Thankyou so much for this great video. Love the way you stayed so cool & calm during this docking, communicating with your crew & the port assistants at the same time giving us such interesting commentary. Best wishes from Sydney, Australia

[@vajindertaak3158]

Great content with added history lesson! Keep up the great work!!

[@LtD973]

Great vid. and great skill. Really enjoyed it. Thanks.

[@TheOUboy]

Great piloting of the yacht and a pro as always. Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating!

[@wroghan]

Awesome, great precision 👍

[@toolbox-gua]

Wonderful, so smooth.

[@richardgiles2484]

You done a really good job skip 👍 You could do this for a living 🤔🤣

[@lakerfan0852]

So cool! I love watching you dock and pull out of port too.

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

Beautifully done.

[@jackieheckathorn5095]

This is sooooo cool. Thank you for educating us.

[@mossem5029]

Great content. Thank you.

[@daveygal1]

Very well done sir, and compliments to your crew also, great entertainment thank you.

[@eaunan]

Wow!! So fascinating!

[@chillee2531]

Brilliant video, love watching the skill & professionalism docking a boat that size, great job, great content, well done 👍

[@johnpenson8801]

Great Video Tristan. One of your best. Great to know your engine, wheel and bow thruster movements and why you are doing them. Thanks for posting and look forward to more like this. Very instructional as well as entertaining.

[@ColinHarvey78]

Nice video. Brings back memories of sailing with my Dad in my med (also a master mariner and boat handler par excellance). Great to watch calm boat handling made to look easy like this.

[@scottbecker5700]

You make it seem so easy. Great video!

[@joolscornwell1307]

Well executed , Captial. Captain 😎👍🤸🏿‍♀️

[@andrewleatherman4931]

Excellent video. Loved seeing the precision with which you and crew handled AWOL. Keep up the awesome work Captain.

[@6r4metroman]

Lovin this, thank you...

[@sheepdog1102]

Very interesting, thank you!

[@gregeconomeier1476]

Wise sailor once told me "when approaching a dock slow to a speed you think is acceptable then cut that speed in half".

[@juspal6773]

And when ur reverse is not working triple that. :D

[@EmilWestrum]

I learned that you should approach at a speed you wouldnt mind colliding at :p

[@paulinedavis8734]

👍...perfection

[@littleboatcaptain6962]

Brilliant, just to let you know. Listening to you keep your cool while docking a super yacht, has given me so much more confidence maneuvering my little boat. Thanks for your videos 👍

[@Toffie10]

Very interesting. Thx Tristan. You MAY!

[@dadflys-409]

Nicely done Captain! Your situational awareness was spot on. Slow is pro👍

[@A2_mgr56]

Perfect docking😍
