How Yacht Crew Treat TEAK Quickly 

"How to Guides for Yachting" VS "Just cool Yacht videos showing you different parts of a boat and daily life". What's your prefered video type that I post?

I never thought I’d be coming back after 5years to an OG JW vid for some potential job training. What a long way we’ve come. I can’t wait to name drop my RU-vid homie JW when I get the job.

Would love to have you on my yacht. Would also love to own a yacht.

Who knew cleaning could be made interesting.. Nice video mate! 🙂

Dude, just stumbled on your channel last night & glad RU-vid recommended it to me. Great content. Nice to see a fellow South African doing his thing. Well played! Keep it up.

Jared amazing job, thanks for the videos. I'm starting my STCW in 1 month time and I can't stop watching all your videos to get as much info as I can! Looking forward to see myself working in one of this yatch soon

Curious why don't you oil it after all that prep work? Watco Teak Oil or Exterior Oil or Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector would work wonders and only require a quarterly reapplication. They don't get slick when wet either.

Thanks for the awesome video! I captain a 75' Fleming and we have Teak for days!!!!

Hey man from another yachtie glad to see someone making videos of what life’s really like onboard !!!

Hi Jared, loving the videos! Question: have you ever thought about using Odie’s Oil? It’s not only designed for every wood, but it’s especially great on exotics like Teak and it would prevent oil spots from ever occurring. You would only need to use vinegar and water to clean periodically. As a wood worker, I can attest to it’s unbelievable properties. If you ever want any more details, let me know!

That was really informative! Thanks!

Thanks mate, always wondered how you keep all that Teak clean. Love all your videos. Keep it up. Cheers from Adelaide.

i’ll give you credit, it’s vey smart that you marketed it as just a price of a beer. smart guy smart guy

Purchased. Thanks for the insider info man! Wish I had discovered Yachting years ago, I'm super antsy about wanting to get into it.

Love your content keep up the mad vids ✌️✌️✌️

Have to be honest, I like the every day life aboard the yacht, for those whose job it is to really take care of the yacht. A ride at sea being shown hiw the boat is steered /driven, how crew actually crew! That’d be fun. I enjoyed this vid. Thank you.

Keep up the good work and amazing vids! You're awesome! Greetings from Croatia!

We used Linseed oil after washing teak to seal it in my Canadian Navy days.

Awesome Video Man! Keep it up!

Really entertaining and unique content. Would love to see what you get up to in your free time on the boat. Keep it up brother !

I was a big fan of Captain Wrong Way Peter Peachfuzz on the Rocky and Bullwinkle Cartoons, so I am especially enjoying your videos. :)

I love these shipyard videos!

Just discovered your channel and I’m loving all the videos!! Just wanted to mention that you were scrubbing “across the grain”. “Against the grain” is where you pick up splinters as you mentioned. And “with the grain” is parallel to it, but in the direction that doesn’t pick up splinters. Sorry, I’m a carpenter and just wanted to clarify in case anyone was confused. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good stuff.

I really love your videos! So interesting and well done!

Time for a teak patio table now that I know how to clean it, thanks!

Hillarious. Thank you.

Thank you for an informative and awesome video ^_^

That looks amazing. Nice techniques and video. Thumb's up.

A mix of videos between guides and just really nice travel videos would be cool

How often do you do the teak deck?

Yo you are growing so fast!

doing great on the map

that was a good tip on teak hard work though good video jared

Great videos

Hit that table with teak oil my friend. A little oil will hide most any stains. Great job by the way!

Do you need to condition the teak because it's very dry after washing it down.

Hey Jared thanks for the Video !! Great as always ! Just bought a beer :D

Interesting!!! Love from Vermont

Hey howsit man, Can you make please a video about your personal story with the yachts? How you got into it, age you started, what courses you did etc. Thinking of going into super yachts as a deckhand next year and just interested to know your story and perspective.

Make a video about the dinghy!!! Or do you have to call it a rib? Or just a rubber boat? Anyway, plssz make a vid about it! And maybe the other water toys onboard!

Isn't there a surface coating that would prevent those stains? Some kind of teak oil?

Would you clean the teak deck the same way, including the last step of vinegar?

Is there an updated link for the beginners guide?

When you protect a teal table on land, I use teal oil however on board you obviously strip all the oil out, how does this not leave the teak vulnerable to the elements

Doing a great job mate especially for people who wants to enter in yachting industry. Let’s meet at Blue Lady 😉

Love these videos! Not because I want to work on a yacht but I pretend that I own one :)

I was working on a boat and we just cleaned the team and shit you not 30 minutes later our fuel overflowed through the vents and we had to do the teak all over

Forgive me for my novice answer but why not rest the wood with sealer? Again I know nothing just interestedly in and like your videos!!! Thanks!

Hi Jared, great channel, would love to see how you drop anchor

Washing detergent is generally basic, btw. But right line of thinking

I can’t believe I just spent 10 minutes watching a guy clean the table. 🤣😂🤣

How often you clean teak?

Ive found your videos a few months ago now and have been watching them, they are great for someone that has been looking into getting into this industry for awhile (life got in the way but I'm free to chase my dreams now). I Will actually be going down to South Africa to take my Yacht Masters and hope to be able to find a job right on a yacht right after I get my certificate. More how to guides would be awesome. Also I see this looks more like a private yacht and isn't chartered, do you have experience with boats that do charters? And if so, what are the main differences you have seen? I Have heard that you work abit harder with charters with the turnover of guests, but normally a good sized tip for the weeks charter would make up for the extra effort of always having guests on board.

What watch do you wear while working? Do you have any recommendations for time keeping on the seas as you go through time zones. Great vid!

Never use a high pressure spray to clean teak, it’s hardwood but it’s actually pretty soft. You will slowly break the teak with. Very nice video though, keep it up!

Hey Jared, great vid and I love the tip with the vinegar, will keep that at the back of my head. Just a quick one, I will be 21 at the end of the month and still got 2 years left in my degree. After I’m done I would be keen to give the white boats a shot. But would 23-24 year be a bit old to start? I don’t have any qualifications but I work part time on a ferry for the past few years and I do know I will need my STCW which I will get after uni. Keep on living the dream my man🤙🤙

Wonder how much rainforest was dessimated to furnish all these boats

no teak oil?

Why not apply teak oil?

Hope your doing well Jared!

The washing powder has pumice in it. Hawai’i”s largest export, pumice. Bam!

Hi Jared, what's the name of your intro music? Or which provider do you use? Thanks in advance.

What is the best way to clean the salt marks on the hull ? Thanks mate 😊

My question about teak on boats, why does it have to be teak? Why not PVC or fiberglass flooring?

In an earlier video you said against the grain and I was dumbfounded. I wondered why and how because almost always, when doing anything to wood, its with the grain. Anywho, in this video you explained it perfectly, thank you! :)

Wait what? I'm so confused. Wouldn't a teak deck contain some kind of varnish sealer? Or are most boats out there with teak decks sitting with raw exposed wood?

Great video! With all that scrubbing on the teak how long will a deck last before it has to be replaced?

Great Video as always. Did you apply for your job with water sports skills? I heard that would help you to get a job.

Do you like teak when its all grayed out or when its cleaned and oiled ?

I like to use K2r on the yacht I work on

Why don’t you apply teak oil?

Why do you want your wood all dried out like that? My friends have a nice teak patio set and the keep it oiled and its gorgeous.

bought the guide

Hey mate, are purchases of cleaning products the responsibility of crew? probably a silly question.

why dont you oil the teak?

Jared, why don’t they treat teak with a sealant?

Great story telling, editing, and content.....how bout the cost of maintaining a super yacht....

why isn't the teak finished with linseed or other oils/finishes?

Nothing better than cleaning up sunscreen on the sun deck then being told a glass of red has been dropped on deck!

Thanks for the comment about the boat behind you being the same as yours. I thought it looked familiar.

your South African accent is sick (at least i think thats a SA accent)

What about all this "Elena" on the end goes to ocean/sea?

You don't oil it after? We have a Teak table at home and we oil it with a special Teak Oil after we clean it. Makes it dark and shiny. :-)

Best youtuber

Hey Jared! Would love to have you on my 180ft motor yacht BLCK. It’s located right by Del Perro pier in Los Santos. Let me know.

and of course I assume you didn't wash the phosphates and vinegar into the marina water?

Where does it all drain?

Do you put Teak oil or sealer afterwards or do you just clean the teak so often that you'd strip it away every time?

Hey man, I asked this question some weeks back you might have missed it. Which is the best place to go get my training at here in South Africa. Looking at ultimately an officer position so a good training foundation to set me up for that

1st video im seeing of yours Are you South African?

"The price of a beer?" What are we talking? Schlitz cans? King Cobra bottles? St. Pauli Girl? A craft beer found in Vermont only during autumn craft fairs? We need to know this!!!

Refer them to the video you have already done on how to get a job in Super/Mega Yachting.

Do you ever oil the teak?

Malaysia Berunai like adventure yacht from you

U looks like Tom cruise ok by way when it going to buy yrs luxury yacht 👍👍

is the teak left unfinished for a reason? it seems like there would be something applied to it that would seal it and protect it.

You should start a webshop with all kind of cleaning products for yachts ;-) If you need any help let me know :)

whats your opinion on the new fiberglass that looks and feels like wood ? wouldnt it be better and easier to deal with ? will it look different ?

Hello Jarad, I know you posted this quite a while ago. But, why don't you use natural tung oil? The Chinese have used it since at least 400BC. It's fantastic for teak on boats (where it was originally used). With a zinc additive, it is good against UV rays (where I've seen damages on some of the yachts in not only your videos)... stops that graying of the wood. it's good against oil & food staining (Wait till you have to get red wine out of untreated teak). It stops salt water from soaking in also. Lastly, it's food-safe, and leaves the teak looking and feeling natural, the same as the day it was installed. Plus, unlike other finishes, you keep the non-slick surface you need on boat decking. And, how you showed cleaning of teak in this video, does not change. It just needs a freshening every few years.
