Tug Captain Gets Panic Call Over Radio ! "Come Get Me Hurry!" (Tug Boat Series )

[@mrfofff]

Thank you, Tugboat captains, for taking us all along.

[@JohnCollins-o2l]

Great video what professional captains. And his daughter just a s cool Alfred keep up the great work thank you

[@TheHemiphil81]

I build boats all day for a living then I come home from work and watch a great video about moving bigger boats. 😂❤

[@kendramiddletonwilliams]

When you were asking captain Chris about his experience and the incident when they got the radio call - he went to answer you but you didn’t really let him. I was really interested to hear what he had to say and I found myself hoping that he would follow up with, “well, a few years ago we were towing an 80 meter motor yacht and…” type of story. I bet those two have a thousand incredible and crazy stories.

[@JERRY-xb6vy]

You generate tension with the questions and occupying their concentration slow down.😊

[@nicholasperusina6849]

Wow...these tug Captains have incredible skill indeed! Thank You Alfred, these River videos are great.

[@BoWallenUSA]

Captain Courtney and his crew are excellent. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⚓

[@gunghoadventures871]

Courtney is the best of the best - Mark - Boatworx - sv Wild Justice

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

This is fantastic stuff! It would be really informative if you could cut in a shot of a map every 10-15 minutes with a *We Are Here* arrow and direction of travel. Many viewers probably don't realize just how "downtown" the majority of the Miami River and New River actually are. Thank you Alfred!

[@louskunt9798]

What an awesome idea!✌️

[@ChrisShultis]

Map? Really they are charts

[@moo4boy]

@@chiccamille There are a number of reasons, including that their props would kick up a lot of silt, and that could interfere with their engine cooling. Another reason is that Captain Courtny does this sort of thing every day, while a yacht, they might only do this once a week at most.

[@kendramiddletonwilliams]

Oh man, that is a GREAT IDEA!! I didn’t know I wanted it until you suggested it - now I’m thinking, that would be fantastic!!

[@markweixler115]

Alfred!! Thank you and the all 3 Cape Ann Tugboat Captains for this experience!!! SO Amazing! I’ve been a boater for 63 years… growing up boat on all kinds and sizes of boats on the Ohio River from Louisville KY, and then on the gulf coast of FL in Sarasota. Now, in Los Angeles CA. I’ve seen all kinds of good situations go bad in a hurry, and bite inexperienced people in the behind. This was the BEST Video I’ve seen about a good crew handling a delicate fit situation… and then a quick turnaround (potential fire) problem like it was no big deal. Such a great experience to be a ride along!!! Many Thanks to All!! Great Job!!! 👍👏👏👏

[@HoosierPete69.]

Captain Courtney and his crew are excellent, they get the job done like it's a walk in a park.

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

loving the Tug Boat Series Alfred .....great shows!

[@timmiller5170]

the best looking tow boat captain that I have ever seen, is that what she wants to do for work

[@alphaone101]

WOW............Fantastic video......possibly your best ever. Thanks to the Captain and his crew for raking us along and of course you for videoing it all.

[@g0s2355]

Good to see a Bruins fan leading the charge! Awesome training his daughter. I have 3 and would be proud.

[@chucksmalfus9623]

Excellent boat handling, can’t help but notice no one ever touched the helm, that’s twin screw magic😊

[@potatolew4495]

When engaged in such maneuvers or just returning to port. On a twin screw vessel, a neutral rudder should be maintained. Only the main engines and thrusters should be used to manipulate the vessel in close quarters. I have worked in the commercial marine industry for 27 years as an engineer and captain. I could go on for weeks about the blunders and major catastrophes that I witnessed over the years. Most were caused by the "boater" syarting to panic, sheer incompetence, or being under the influence. The most nerve-racking part of a trip for me is not the weeks at sea. It is the first and last 10 miles leaving and returning to port.

[@douglascurry415]

WOW Alfred. You outdid yourself on this one. So freaking outstanding work. One of the most educational videos I have seen in a long long time. Thank you so, so much for sharing.

[@leonard7736]

Thank you Cape Ann, Captain Courtney hats off to you sir.. Alfred thanks for another great video. Hailey and Chris thanks for your input. From Arizona City, Az.

[@claire-d1e]

Alfred, Awesome documentation, praise all captains and crew, hopefully the yacht will be straightened out and can continue their cruise, Thanks Alfred, Keep up the great work!

[@kirk467]

I did a welding job on a sea tug that was converted to a dredge pushing tug, out of Galveston! Dredging the Galveston channel and dumping out in the Gulf of Mexico, it was pretty exciting and we worked day and night! Two guys during the day and two guys working at night! It was kinda sketchy at night because when the dredge would go out to sea to dump, we had to quit welding because the Gulf of Mexico would get kinda rough and we were welding right on the edge of the tug! Welding huge schieves that the cable would go through from the huge winches on to the dredge! I could tell you a lot about the sea tugs and they were towing a 720 foot container and truck trailer barge that goes from Lake Charles to Puerto Rico and Hati! So I’ve seen all of this before years ago, Alfred! Thanks for sharing bro! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼🙋🏼🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯💯💯💯

[@kirk467]

The company that our company was working for was Crowley Maritime and Towing, based out of San Francisco and they should have a company in Florida because they shut the operation down in Lake Charles in 1989! Our company worked for them for 13 years and we would go out there every day and sometimes 7 days a week! It’s whenever the shipment was expected to arrive! Weekday or weekend!

[@me-William]

I rented boats for the family. It was fun driving around but leaving and coming back was so stressful. I can't believe they are so chilled. Great video Alfred.

[@jonigarner-hale4457]

Loved every minute of this and you asked the Captain all the questions I was wondering! thank you!

[@drumminsonlive9199]

Top notch video Alfred I really enjoyed it and the tug boat operators were so accommodating this was as good as it gets. Thanks bro…

[@AlfredMontaner]

Glad you enjoyed it Drum

[@rp1645]

So so glad you double camera the pull off.

[@larrycarr2171]

Watching Alfred from Columbus Ohio and getting my saltwater fix. Love it. Thanks

[@navalrvdream9463]

Absolutely awesome video! Courtney is one skilled captain! Great content Alfred!!

[@josephvalentjr7677]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks Alfred and The Tug Crew

[@maxjones9139]

I enjoy the whole vibe of Florida. Thank you Alfred!

[@jaywylde]

Amazing skills and experience on display!

[@fernandorodriguez8420]

Best red tug boat documentary Alfred ☠️

[@maltaluxuryhomes]

Wow.... Alfred they make it look so easy !!!! Just like a Boss

[@MrBennyrick77]

I'm just getting my boat licence then will start on various commercial coxswain(captain) licences... seeing this was a great insight into a potential job area for me as we have tugs at the local port. Thankyou for this, it was perfectly timed for me to see at this new point in my life. Cheers!

[@ahroncoates1589]

I see Bruins hat and name of Company is Cape Ann. They must be from North Shore of Massachusetts. Great video.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for getting the opportunity to go with these MASTERS of assist small TUG Boats.😊😊😊❤😊 The wheel on that Tug your riding is just so BIG and amazing rudder control. A back story. Was on a ST small 45 foot US Army tug. The ship controller was a on are FMS field maintenance barge. He put us on side of FMS and had the 65 foot also called a small Tug by Army lingo. We just about got tipped over. We were on are SIDE as the 65 foot Tug powered up. We had an igloo cooler on back deck. That was for are food supplies as we had no gallery. It got thrown overboard. We got it back after we were able to right are self THANKFULLY. We retrieve the cooler and It had not opened and NO saltwater got inside. A amazing cooler.😊😊

[@bscorax]

Went to google maps to see more of this spot. Actually found the ship you where towing in that yard on streetview (or canalview?) and, even better - two Cape Ann-Tugboats and I think Chris on them. The world is small and the internet is crazy. ^^ Greetings from the other side of the pond.

[@kingk13osideaudits70]

A sedative is definitely needed. Wow Al that was an epic ride. When you got to the drop-off point and didn't discuss the emergency procedure my gut said ohhh no mechanical failure. Absolutely Amazing all the tight clearances

[@zapperguy1]

You should hear the radio traffic on the Mississippi... they call that an RV 😄😄

[@lyndseymarieburke1834]

Nice video Alfred as you always do very educational and very interesting love every minute of it

[@davidradke5170]

Love the working person serise Everywhere you go it's a chit show

[@markhavingfun]

Man that yatch/ship to the port at time 1:49:27 is crazy! One heck of a center console somewhat. Lol

[@P.Rack25]

WOW!!! Not even a "pole of faith" touch. Great series Alfred.

[@jamesfiore3029]

Alfred,you threw the curse on the Lady Beth. Just kidding. Another great video Alfred.

[@dalethornton1113]

Thanks Alfred, many inside the marine industries aren't seen by us landlubbers and we appreciate your version of insight.

[@juanseijas9794]

The best video chicho

[@timkearns4728]

Great video!

[@craigroberson8757]

Incredible very well choreographed dance. How come your sweating, Courtney is towing several hundred million dollar yachts.😆

[@billdillard885]

Great Vid!! Amazing Calm from Tug Captain and Crew…

[@marklowsley8558]

Thank’s for your quick reply to my comment Alfred, point taken re- mute button. No problem with the excellent camera work, so maybe

[@mikem7799]

Great vid…….that’s what I like…the workings on the waterways of people making a living on it 👍👍👍

[@LilianePoirier-pm3ii]

wow I loved this video, very impressive, thank you Alfred❤

[@JaneofArc]

Really enjoyed this. It would be fun to have a counter in the corner of video for everytime you said 'EXPERIENCE'. Thank you Courtney, Chris and Hailey for showing us the ropes and enduring. Thanks Alfred AKA Chit Chat. Say hi to Fred for me.

[@yamahaphazer1234]

That Yacht is usually docked in my home town in Canada I know the owner he’s good shit

[@raybrdjr]

LOVE THIS SERIES! THAT LOOKS LIKE A SKIFF TO ME!

[@kirk467]

Good thing, Captain Courtney already got paid for this tow ahead of time! Now it’s going to cost them again once the yacht is repaired! Then it starts all over again!

[@rbecerra321]

Yes, this video was stressful. Edge of your seat. What an awesome video. RB

[@judywright459]

These tug boats are amazing

[@mikegruber3888]

Great video Alfred. Mad respect to the skill of these captains.

[@stevenbowron1287]

Good morning from Reno

[@misermike1171]

Another great vlog Alfred from Lighthouse Cove Ontario, Canada.

[@fernandorodriguez8420]

Action always follows you around Alfred thank you for being their to do play by play

[@MrBillius46]

Alfred, you have posted many great videos, but this one may well be the best. Very interesting!

[@AlfredMontaner]

Thanks William !

[@DmMass-m7n]

Fantastic video Alfred !!!! How ironic you captured a possible meltdown.

[@patriciacrosbie6029]

Well you got your moneys worth on this tow show. Great job by all!

[@WarrenDanner-n2i]

Thankyou , you all do an amazing job

[@forrestshadow]

This has been very interesting. Good show, Alfred, nicely done. We're ready to go exploring on the inflatable again now. Where have I heard it before, it's all good until it ain't.

[@bobj151]

Another awesome video Alfred , Thank You !!

[@TcSearch]

Enjoyed so very much. Thanks.

[@georgestiebler4201]

Montaner You are great I've been watching you for a long time I love Freddy at the docks Do good job I've been watching you Over year 2

[@AlfredMontaner]

Thanks for the support George !

[@spruceville660]

Great series! Keep jumping from working boats in Florida. There’s got to be all kinds of different work boats in the area.

[@JERRY-xb6vy]

Hey Alfred know you like to talk but come up for some air you talk much to much let's listen to the boat captain thank you😂

[@SofloTactical]

Bro same with the tow boat US videos😂 he cannot stay silent for more than 30 seconds🤣

[@nikolai502]

Yup, will se the videos, but the viewing quality would be better with less asking , more talking

[@vvdd903]

definitely talk way way to much and dramatic

[@doreendaykin6693]

I was just thinking the same thing. That “Jerry Springer style” works great at the Black Point launch drama filled area but isn’t appropriate for this very professional operation at all. No need for hype & drama here….the content & crew is all that’s needed. So much mouth gets in the way.

[@scottreich1207]

Maybe put the mic on the Capt instead of yourself. Most of what I’m interested in is what he says and does. The incessant talking about nothing is annoying to the point that I rarely watch AM videos anymore.

[@markhavingfun]

Great video! How awesome and fun would this job would be.

[@jo_rellvs..]

💯💗💯💗💯❣❣❣ WOW!! That WAS AMAZING!! I Held My Breath for Most of that!!

[@AlfredMontaner]

Go watch the night tug video on the Miami River

[@jo_rellvs..]

@@AlfredMontaner Already Watched it.. I Love ur Videos Bro!!

[@kendramiddletonwilliams]

This was so interesting!! I had no idea how delicate the work is of a tug boat captain. Small suggestion: When you create these cool videos with the working boats and captains, maybe prepare questions ahead of time and also open it up to your audience to see if they have any specific questions about the work of the various captains and boating services. I think the commenters that say you talk too much, or something of the like, possibly because you don’t seem entirely prepared with questions before you weigh anchor and throw lines. I think most of us can appreciate that some questions are going to come up as you progress through the job/trip, and that’s totally fine. I think their annoyance may come from the points when silence falls over the scene and you seem to want to fill it for the sake of disturbing the silence. I don’t mind it, and I can understand that you were not a journalism major in university and have been working in the field of journalism and communications for 30-40 years. You are a KZbinr who decided to exercise the required patience and apply the skills to catch people doing crazy/dumb/random/rude things at a boat launch. I think your content is great, and the videos showing working boats are some of my favorites. A bit of preparation ahead of time in future videos is all I can suggest.

[@CamBarry-e7k]

You should start a tug boat series since it seems its becoming a sensation !!!!!! unlimited seires

[@eddieelling4329]

Thank you for such an Amazing Videos

[@billgoodman2794]

Another great video. 2 for 2. Good job Alfred

[@terrymaine4121]

Brilliant video many thanks

[@KM.130]

Cool content. Interesting!

[@ronhager2228]

Excellent work by all, great video, very interesting. Alfred you should get a DJI mini 4 pro drone, it would have been a fantastic view pulling that yacht back into port. Great job.

[@Chris38908]

That was cool little excitement unexpectedly but it all went smooth .

[@kirk467]

The Intrecoastal Canal goes from Florida to Texas I believe, Alfred! It passes about a mile away from my house and there is a saltwater set of locks here down the road from my house! It switches from freshwater to saltwater heading west to Texas!

[@tanya334]

Amazing how they move those huge yachts !!!!

[@ericgriffin44]

At 21:14you can tell the really enormous size of lady blue when you see the 6 tall man standing on the lower transum and seeing how much height the sides of the boat is above his head and sides as it continues well above him.just imagine his viewpoint..this is a large vessel.awsome

Awesome. First timer here.

[@rp1645]

The one big Low back deak vessel with ( Gray hull) you passed as you talked about the problem with big ships moving in channel ( River) I believe in my Humble opinion that is a support vessel for super size private owners millionaire vessels. It carries all the TOYS 😊 that being helicopter or a submarine or just more smaller boats for millionaires 😊 it cruises with the mother ship, its just crazy what these millionaires do when going to sea or change ports with there private vessels.

[@GeorgeKammerer]

Can not believe how loud and much you talk while the co-pilot is trying to have a phone conversation. I would let you swim home.
