I join a company to make it better, not to make the same mistakes they have been making for 10 years. If my suggestion isn't better or their way of doing it is better, we'll have had a nice discussion and at least one of us will have learned something.

Your fondness for M/Y Octopus and its incredible exploration capabilities is something I can sooooo get behind ❤️🐙 I would be the happiest person alive if I could spend the rest of my days on that vessel, exploring every corner of the sea. You'd need a lot more than a week to figure out what killed Yogi, however. Just because you have the coordinates of the sinking doesn't mean you have the coordinates of the wreck itself. It'd take a *LOT* of work. (N=1, but I'd be sooooo in)

@TedClark805 4 года назад

Concerning the boss sending the crew somewhere - Many moons ago when I worked on a yacht for a woman named Joan Kroc she would send us on her private jet as a treat. She sent us to the Grand Canyon once, with a helicopter ride and a nice meal looking over the canyon. She also sent us to Reno once for skiing and gambling. It pretty much comes down to the boss and how they treat employees.

Ted Clark you left out the most interesting part..... Joan Kroc was the widow of Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s.

@leeinnes7127 4 года назад

Love your videos. Thanks for the insights into a world most know nothing about. I have a couple of questions: 1. How are you able to get such good drone footage from marinas? Are marinas OK with flying drones? I would think that extremely rich people would be rather paranoid about their privacy. 2. Relationships between crew members. Have you ever had instances of a huge problems on board a yacht, after one crew member has ended a relationship with another and then started a new one, or more? People tend not to like being "dumped" and being that all the people involved are all living in such close proximity, I can see it potentially being a problem. Not everyone can act "professionally".

@bahoonies Год назад

I didn't see any questions about guests and how they treat staff. So here's a story about that. Two of my nieces worked on superyachts. One niece told a story of a famous American actor who hired her vessel for a holiday. On learning who was hiring the ship my niece bought a few of his films for the library. He was very pleased about that and was very pleasant to my niece when he found out it was her idea. Chatting to him at one stage she told him she was going to America next holiday. So he said that if she was in New York to contact his children who were about her age and they'd show her the sights. He gave her a phone number and when she was in NY she rang. They were delighted to hear from her as their father had told them about her. They met up and she was treated royally and had a wonderful time for the couple of days she was there.

Q&A Besides hiring armored guards when crossing pirate infested waters, is there any other ways to defend yourself against them? Does having money ready to give away really work? Is there a certain distance offshore and Pirates won't go out that far? Where can I find an up-to-date map with all pirate encounters.

Pirates can operate hundreds of miles out into international waters, because they have support ships to fuel smaller attack boats. This is at least the case with Somali pirates, but not exclusively.

Question! You mentioned rotations, and opposites. 1. Can you please describe in detail how that works from a staffing perspective? 2. For full rotation, does the owner need to employ fully 2 of everyone? 3. [captain, first mate: is that an exception? (you mentioned the first mate is in charge when captain is on leave)]? 3. Do super yachts also frequently work with less than full rotation? 4. How does this work - Does this mean fewer crew are required? Thanks for a detailed explanation! 🙏🏼

After a (VERY seasick) week aboard a RN frigate (age 17, combined cadet force, 1977) in a steady force 8 in the North Sea then English Channel, my mate and I took the train back to his family's home (1 1/2hrs or so during which we felt fine with the motion of the train), BUT followed by a mile walk from the station - we both had trouble walking in a straight line and increasing nausea. We were unable to eat much of our supper that evening and both stumbled going up or down stairs that evening! We were pretty much recovered by the middle of the following day though.

I'm sure there's always some staff on board just to help maintain and secure it. I would also imagine there needs to be some warning from the owner to give the crew a chance to properly prepare the boat for going to sea because I doubt it's kept fully ready to go anywhere 24/7.

@stevenverola5281 4 года назад

how many weeks a year are most owners on the boat , and when they are on the boat do they bring their own staff like butler and chef

@alexanderkruse5715 4 года назад

That depends on what boat, sometimes owners live onboard them for the summer months, and then leaves it during winter, some owners are live on board owners (I assume its pretty rare as i have only heard of a few) and some just use them when ever they have the time. So overall thats very hard to say, but for the most its when they have time. Some do, some brings nannies butlers and security. But a yacht is fitted with its own butler(s) and chef(s) so it really depends on size and what owners.

@alexanderkruse5715 4 года назад

60 meter yachts fit in most desirable harbours, you can go into Monaco, Portofino, Cannes, Calvi and Bonifacio (to name a few) and there are less desirable harbours which they also can visit if need be. Then there are harbours such as St Tropez, Porto Cervo and many others which i do not belive can fit such large vessels. I believe St Tropez has 2-3 spots for a 60 meter, and for the rest its a max of 45-55 meters (depending on where in the harbour) Now for the rest of the harbours, a boat of that size would most likely have a nice tender which would be able to enter.

@livinglifeat212 4 года назад

I watch aquaholic show those 50-100 foot owner driven yachts, with small crew cabins for like 2, sometimes a few more. How does that work? You get crew for a few weeks/month from an agency? Rotate that crew every time? Who hires and manages them? Would they know to stay out of an owners way? Can owners expect top skills in the kitchen? Are crew /owner relations still That professional distance you talk about? At what point does it become more like what you usually talk about?

@slupot 16 дней назад

To answer the question about mail in remote areas/at sea. In my experience in SE Alaska, you can have items shipped to a few different outfits that will get it to you. Either you order it, have it shipped to the office, or an employee will run and get it in the nearest city. (Juneau in my experience) most of the time float plane charters will accept packages or delivery, and fly it out to the remote port or Anchorage. I don't work on yachts, but work in a remote port. I have seen an owner order PIZZA for his crew, and had it flown to his boat. It's 600$ to charter a flight for something like that. 40 minute flight in a float plane. I also had a lodge owner who's daughters puppy got mauled by a bear. He had a float plane come in to pick it up, and take to Juneau. Problem is, no one was available to fly with the dog. I hadn't met him yet, as I was brand new to town, but I told him I'd do it. 5 min later a plane lands, and I get on it, holding the puppy together, as it was tore up, and somone was waiting at the airport to pick me and the dog up. I was able to keep the dog alive until the vet took over. A storm blew in and I got stuck in Juneau for a week before I could fly back home.

Enjoy the Q&A's. If the owner needed to get out of a port fast, how quickly could a Super Yacht get underway from a cold start with half the crew ashore?

@jfbeam 4 года назад

I'd say it depends on a number of things... how motivated are you to get out of Dodge? If the boat's fueled, and you show up with the necessary crew to operate it (or they're still onboard), it could physically be under way in minutes. (this isn't a WWII era battleship that takes hours to fire up boilers, and build steam.) Charter crews can take hours to ready a boat for a cruise, but then, they're preparing for a cruise. This would be an interesting question / exercise to put to them. :-)

Regarding the crewing of Yachts, you said you had a "double" who rotates with you... Is this the case with the entire crew ? So does the average superyacht employ 2 complete crews, both on full pay to rotate during the year or are some of the crew just sent on break when the Yacht isnt being used by the owner and not replaced?

@WorkonaSuperyacht 4 года назад

Rotation is something that is slowly but surely coming across to superyachts from the commercial sector. On the largest yachts (over 3000GT) it is likely that all deck and engineering officers will be on rotation. They will be paid a yearly salary but in light of the fact that they are only on board for 6 months of the year, it will be less than if they were not on rotation. For yachts under 3000GT, rotation is becoming more common for the engineering department and to a lesser extent deck officers. Junior members of crew may also be offered some form of rotation but it won't be time for time; 3 months on and one month off would be considered very good at this level. The vast majority of yacht crew still earn holiday in the normal fashion (3 days holiday earned per month worked, for example) and this will be taken during periods when the yacht isn't busy.

Do you know much about residential cruise ships such as the World? are they popular with the wealthy? people living permanently on them/timeshare? amount of passengers and crew? are they considered sort of the wealthy poor man's alternative?

The red ensign is British civil colour flown by passenger and merchant shipping, while the airforce is light or sky blue with a tricolour target, the Navy is a St George cross and Union Jack in the top left corner.

Yachts in the 30 m range are quite capable of and do make ocean crossings fairly frequently. Yachts 15 m make transoceanic crossings. Believe it or not, the length of a yacht has little to do with how seaworthy it is. It all has to do with the shape of the hull and a few hundred other factors. There are 10 m yachts that I would have no problem crossing an ocean on while there are 70-80 m and larger yachts I would not take out of sight of land.

Passenger yachts have different rules to small yachts and must adhere to different rules. That’s what I was referring to in this video.

@judettejamila4756 4 года назад

What do you think about those yachts smaller than 60 meters and are owner operated crossing all oceans, usually couples or family on an adventure? Do yachts with sails are seaworthy or ocean capable than the motor yachts such as the Horizon FD 80 or the solar powered Silent 80 Yacht?

Superyachts and cruisers are different categories.....try Trawler yachts ..ie Nordhavn yachts...anywhere between 42 and 120 feet....based on deep sea trawler design and they passage around the world...and they go 4 people (husband and wife; a skipper and 1 crew....These boats go anywhere....4000 - 5000 miles range but slow..7 - 9 knots cruise speed

Is there a superyacht owner who likes to spend time on the bridge? Perhaps even captain for a while?

@Sandhoeflyerhome 4 года назад

Sure..they are human..but at a certain stage you may as well let the professionals get on with it

@phredphlintstone6455 3 года назад

...if the owner crashes it, they can't really yell at the captain can they. And I'd think there would be some kind of relationship between captain and owner.

Really depends on the boat, but it would not be a normal thing. Usually that would be a nono, But on some bigger vessels they have their own. I heard a rumor that M/Y Dilbar even had a crews cinema.

Alexander Kruse what is the Internet incredibly slow? How would you be able to watch a movie if not for Netflix and possibly RU-vid?

@alexanderkruse5715 3 года назад

@@gu3sswh075 Really depends how much you exactly want to spend, but in general its alright. Watching netflix and youtube is no biggie over all, but if you go 10 miles off a coast, it can get slightly tricky and connection will worsen. Also when you do long crossings you can go without cell signal and internet for long periods of time. So overall, internet is no challange.

@alferret1969 4 года назад

Whatever money is left from the charter fee. After all fuel, food etc is paid for. IE: Charter costs 100k, actual bills = 90k the 10k left get shared. Or thats how I understand it.

@scruffyTV 4 года назад

@@alferret1969 I asked because my research indicates that it is usually a 5-15% rate of the base charter price.

@YachtReport 4 года назад

The charter cost is purely for the charter of the boat. Everything else is extra. Food, fuel, incidentals etc. Whatever is left over from that money is what I was talking about.

Enjoy your videos. Find your Q&A answers insightful and realistic. Pretty hard to imagine Paul Allen did not know about the currency exchange rate difference between U.S. dollars and Euros. Last time I checked, that move would have given the crew a 25% raise. If he didn't know it upfront, I am sure he noticed it after the fact!

@@phredphlintstone6455 Well, the ones where you live are not the gulls in the video that I said only hang out by the sea, That's why I stated "But those Gulls", meaning the ones in the video that was in question. If you happen to live somewhere in their migration path, then the ones you get are just taking a break before heading on to their salt water destination.

Nordhavn's as small as 40ft have crossed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Routes are determined by location of ports to stop for fuel.

G'day eSysman absolutely love your channel and have been a long time subscriber ,always looking forward to your next vid. Just a question for your next Q&A do crew get held accountable for any damage that might happen to the vessel if that damage was caused by bad operating and/or could have been avoided,does it just get put down to wear and tear that needs to be repaired at the next available opportunity/port and payed for by insurance. As myself and a team of painter polishers have been flown to various ports to repair damage that looks like it could have been avoided which is not a cheap exercise cheers

How does crew rotation work on a long voyage, like an around the world trip and how often do yacht owners take long trips?

@calvinh.8882 4 года назад

You're doing it right by not telling everyone your where you work and job description. The internet is a very screwed up place to put your personal business out on because there are way too many crazy people out here that may stock you or try and cause you issues.

@alferret1969 4 года назад

I would guess, 40+ minutes actual record time then re-watch and cut out stuff that shouldnt be said, say about an hour for that, then its add other graphics, txt, layers, music maybe 45-60 min. Then encode (dont count that time) re-watch 34 min to make sure your happy then wang up onto the t'interweb (dont count that time either) so my guess it 3hr 15min excluding encode and upload.

@cimarronperformancewerks6611 3 года назад

Perhaps a subculture but I’ve sailed to Hawaii and Australia from the west coast of the US on my SV Morgan 50 (15.5 m). Proper planning and some luck and you have a great adventure. Also there are numerous qualified sailors willing to share workload and expenses to get there. My ex wouldn’t go on the reposition sail and would meet me at the destination. Long ago, much younger, and way more affluent, days. On a unique separate note, I was responsible for a time, for oversight of Mr Paul Allen’s aircraft, which he had several, including two large Boeing used for various sporting team activities. They ground crew told me many stories about the MVs, the helicopters, and other toys. The one that sticks out was at one time he had four large Yachts positioned at specific locations around the globe so that he or his guests would not have to wait very long for the repositioning at the desired destination. Too much money….
