Dramatic docking of €23,000,000 superyacht in Saint Tropez. Sqeezing in! Watch to the end!!! 

Amazing comments thank you. Would be great for you to share.

@@SuperyachtVideo You're welcome

Why always expecting dramas?

@@tasmangirl Why click baiting with a dramatic headline and not delivering anything?

they say in the title@@tasmangirl

Let's see you do it then. The deal is that you pay for all necessary repairs.

You have the all the confidence of someone with no responsibility my friend.

Clickbate! But nicely done captain! Did I hear some dutch from the crew at the end??😂

Drama is the girls on the boat picking fenders up, not doing anything with them , running around stressed while it's not about them, not knowing how to throw a heaving line, guy running up and down the passerelle, also no reason for that...and yes I worked on yacht for over 10 years, docked 45 m motorjacht and 28 m sailing yachts multiple years...no bow thruster no stern thruster, never shouting, ...but, other than that, nice docking tho..have seen worse..

The girls did a perfect job, no stress from them, and they had to lift the fenders out because they couldn’t pass the other yacht fenders, and then the gap was too tight, hardly a case of not knowing what to do. The heaving lines were thrown perfectly first time. Mate was doing as instructed to get the passerelle over the dock. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Thank you so much. Team did great onboard, as always.

Thank you. Job well done by the team makes the job easier

Thank you for that , yes there is a difference, and glad you appreciated the video of the controls

Thank you for your comments

Dat lijkt me niet iets om trots op te zijn.

Ik had meer het Idee dat het de gasten waren die Nederlands spraken. Niet de bemanning.

Thank you so much for the comments. Yes it’s the prime place on that quay for sure.

Thank you so much, a big team effort

Very different from most owners. We are very lucky.

Harley fest is still one of the best days there for sure

@@SuperyachtVideo Hi 👋, thank you for your reply, Some very interesting Yachts 🛥️ and Boats, being built now days, can virtually turn on their own axis, I have been watching a couple over the last 2/3 weeks sail across the Atlantic, I think they have docked somewhere in Portugal, but have not heard from the best part of five days now, so I presume they are enjoying themselves, As for Harley Davidson bikes, I’m hoping to buy a secondhand one later in this year, I do not have the money like I used to when I was working doing Barn conversions, making specialist doors and windows, now in my early 70s, but still reasonably fit, because of my problems with my ex partner, I’ve lost a lot of money, because of her, , at present I am struggling, especially as I have got storm damage on my property which normally I would be up there on it sorting it out, it has got very old asbestos tiles on the roof because of that I’ve got to get a special listen to remove them, believe it or not, that is more than the price of a bike, then on top of that I’ve got to pay for the tiles and installation and everything else that goes with it, I’ve been to St Tropez twice as I think I said the ride down from the UK with about 20 other Harley riders was is a bit hectic, The main thing is, we will all ride safe and sound, And riding over the Pyrenees and the Alps is always amazing, Thank you for the chat , not sure whether you are located, but hopefully I’ll be in St Tropez later this year or next all being well, I am looking 👀 for a secondhand, Softail Deuce , and they seem to have gone up in value quite a bit, Stay Safe, Phil from the moulin France.

Hi, if the crew is alert they will see the dock guys preparing, but normally the ports don’t come knocking to warn you, but it would be nice if they did so you can prepare better.

That’s what the owner thought 😂

Exactly

Is a good point

Very true. St Tropez not a common destination for this yacht. 2022 it did Sweden, Denmark and then Norway, the latter in particular we didn’t see another yacht.

That’s shallot of drama

Effectively an old fishing port made famous by Bridget Bardot, but not much bigger now than then. Space is a premium . New marinas are built with more space in mind. Saying that, in Europe. Car parking spaces haven’t changed size, but the average car is probably 50%bigger

Use of rudder makes engine use much more effective.

@@SuperyachtVideo Boat not going fast enough for rudders to work quickly---using the transmissions makes adjustments fast and accurate---and lets not forget the bow thrusters and a boat that size probably has thrusters in the stern!!!

@@normanhowe-gl2tq Actually rudders have a massive effect, but not by forward motion. They are used by using prop wash on turned rudders, which results in thrust. For example , turning the rudder to starboard, and engaging port ahead momentarily , will give a blast of water against the port rudder. This is deflected to starboard, and the resultant is in effect a thrust to port of the stern. It is a very powerful effect. It is how single screw vessels have to handled.

@@SuperyachtVideo The screws and rudder are a long way from the longitudinal centre of mass of the boat - I presume that makes the steering adjustments quite delicate.

@@SuperyachtVideo It must be very gratifying to get all this wonderful free advice in the comments!

I think the crew did an excellent job of getting the lines on quickly, safely , and without need for winching on the stern, and hence no stoppers required. This saves a lot of time and effort. Thank you for your comments though .

Not a large crew at all, but thanks for you comment.

And little space to anchor also with the sea grass restrictions, and not enough buoys. Pampalone is a car park now

We put kiddy protection netting around the yacht so they are safe, and don’t open the balcony. Is good.

For the owners it was dramatic.

No stern thruster used there. Only the smallest amount of bow thruster too. Good use of rudder initially, and having the yacht lined up perfectly for the entry.
