Excellent! As a "hardware" lover this is way better than a yacht tour. I know I'm in the minority, but this is what I'd rather see on "Below Deck" - I can completely do without knowing anything regarding the crews' love lives. Love seeing how a yacht is outfitted and how it runs, well done!

One of the most beautiful engine rooms I've seen. The chief engineer has a lot to be proud of. Incredible how clean the whole thing is given the age. Fantastic! Thanks for the great tour!

I'm sure that engineering team must drill regularly. Fire drills, system break down drills, basic systems drills. Man the amount of work necessary just to keep that place in a steady state alone must be immense.

As a UK Cat employee it is so nice to see such a purrfect engine room not a spec of Cat litter. Seriously a great video more please!!

Wow Captain Tristan... what a wonderful tour of the engine room of Laurel with Chief Engineer Ross. Beautifully designed engine room and so impressive. You could practically serve and eat dinner in the immaculate engine room.

Finally an engine room that has a washer , dryer , a lathe and I am sure many other tools and equipment. Not to mention a personal tour by the Chief Engineer . So wise , thank You

I remember when Laurel was launched, she was a strictly private use only yacht and there was not one photo available of her interior. The interest in her was immense but it was not until she was sold and made available for charter that her stats and photos of her were made public. She is a stunning yacht to this day.

Jeepers- for a yacht that's one hell of an engine room! Beautiful and immaculately kept too. Thanks to the Chief and you too, Captain.

Wow! What an amazing and immaculate engine room! With that level of maintenance and care, I bet they rarely get any machinery break down issues

The amount of knowledge required to run all that is astounding. Fantastic engine room and workshop, well maintained. Credit to Ross for keeping it in such good order

Wow! Thank you Ross for such a great tour! What a privilege. Delta and all involved can be very proud of that work of art!

That was just so fantastic to see the level of skill required to run that engine room! Please thank all the crew involved and Laurel the chief Engineer, for giving that tour! Plus of course you too! Thank you very much!

I am a former shipbuilder and I am very impressed with the layout and design of this SuperYacht! Thank You for sharing this tour with us!

Immaculately clean engine room, best on the entire You Tube. Congratulations.😮 😮😊

Thanks Tristan for another great vid, and a very special thanks to Chief Engineer Ross for the tour of his immaculate engine room. The design of the engine room really does seem to be topline.

Yo can tell that's a big boat from that engine room! Thanks for the tour.

Pioneer crew here,good to see you again laurel.

Hats off to Ross, he knows his stuff and has the place looking clean as a whistle. Obviously a Kiwi. :):)

It's amazing that the chief knows every nut bolt valve pipe wire in that tub. fun video.

Excellent tour. Very surprised that they would give an in depth tour of that scale. Not that common these days. Every owner/captain seems to be very secretive about their propulsion systems. Well done. Thanks. 👍

As a aircraft engineer I love the cleanness of the engine room and the Snap-on tools in the workshop tops it off

Love it. Always interesting to be shown around by someone thoroughly knowledgeable!

I really enjoy your engine room videos. Wonderful looking engine spaces.

beautiful and extremely clean, well done to that crew for keeping it so well maintained

i have a picture of the boat in my files from years ago. glad to see it is still around

What a dream job.. chief engineer, super clean main spaces. Thank you for sharing..nuts and bolts guy here as well..16cl cats are huge..tore a few down

Tristan, UNBELIEVABLE TOUR! Did I really hear piped-in music in the background of the engine room? As I've told you before, I worked for Teakdecking Systems in Sarasota back in the 90's, primarily in the cruise ship division when not working in the shop trimming yacht decks and interiors. One thing I've always regretted was not being able to do a tour of an engine room on a cruise ship. I'm more of a Finish and Marine Carpenter than mechanic but it is always amazed me with the technology that goes into powering something that big.

I give you a like because i was part of that great crew, and the captain, chief and chef are legends. Mad respect.

The engine room layout is like a Fedship, lots of room, everything is accessible.

Ditto to all that said what a beautiful ER that is, and I have never seen a cleaner work bench was? That says pride all day! Thanks for the tour CE and SYC.

That is a big place, well laid out too.

Thanks so much for a GREAT engine room tour. Loved it

Hey! We saw Laurel years ago in Castine Maine! I think she was still privately owned at the time. Amazing to see in that tiny harbor.

Wow! What a great tour of the engine room. I really enjoyed it.

OMG, thats just huge. Thank you so much for touring something that we almost never see 😀

Absolutely beautiful what a engine room !

That engine room is INTENSE😮

Good show guys . Totally incredible amount of technology and wealth inside those yachts . Thank you .

Just amazing, thanks for posting

Amazing - as really nice as the yacht itself is, and it is REALLY nice, this is by far the most interesting part of the whole boat. Love it!

I have had to do all maintenance on all systems of my own 48 ft. Ocean cruising sailboat. We also ran charters. So is a very mini version of this. No stabilizers but most of the basic equipment as here. This is a thousand times more complex! I cant’t even comprehend what goes into this vessel. Wow.

sensational tour - Thanks!

Great episode! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

A great piece of engineering marvel. The best video I have seen pertaining to yachts.

Bloody Charter the Yacht . To work in engine room (palace). Well done

Extraordinary video! I learned so much, and it was very very interesting! Thank you so much for this amazing video! Love from Vermont

Great tour!

wow thats a well run ship !

Very professional Engineering crew !!!!!

SYC - really enjoy these TOUR videos but it would be helpful if you used the ship model in the title! Love the tours, Please these videos coming!

Seems like it could of been a little cleaner... LOL That thing is unbelievable. Thanks for the tour!

Interesting, most of the equipment in this yacht's engine room are the same on the OSVs I worked on in the Gulf. Even the engine's are the same, just all yellow instead of chrome. Also that is the most well organized and thought out engine room I have ever been in! If only commercial boats were made this way!

Pretty amazing machinery.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing…

Great tour very interesting Tristan. Thanks.👍🇨🇦👌

As an unlimited first assistant motors engineer I really appreciate these videos. What is the work schedule like, the pay/benefits, etc? Looks like a nice gig.

What a really interesting video 👏👏

Awesome stuff

Before I moved up to 46 yacht I started with a small dinghy, I truly believe I had more fun with my dinghy than the yacht

The Jones brothers build outstanding vessels; hope to see them at the Seattle show

It’s always been my dream to have a yacht with a walk-in engine room

crazy cool !

As a retired central utility plant supervisor from a hospital, it is nice to see a well-kept mechanical space. I would rather see all the mechanical systems over all the glitzy stuff.

That's very similar to ones I've worked in on 65/75m yachts, except for all the computer stuff. Our engines were 3600hp each and only V12s with air-start, not those tiny batteries, I was a bit shocked by that. Cheers Tris, enjoyed that a lot.

Cool!! I would have liked to hear about history with the boat, has he been there since it was built, how did he get into this line of work, etc.

Best video i have seen on yt, love seeing the business end of the boat.

Nice thank you

3 Squeakie clean! If you had to replace an engine, is there a small door/hatch on the side of the ship or hoist it up vertically through a small opening through the decks 😎

Excellent

Hi Very good Vlog; how about one for the Bridge pointing out what the different people do. A larger ship than previous hence more individual jobs.

I was setting up a computer based maintenance tracking system for my employer's boats in 2008, the project was cancelled when the economy tanked. A real pity, as I was really enjoying doing the program.

This was enjoyable. If you ever have more time, a more indepth look at all the services run through the vessel would be awseome!

Hello, thank you for this very informative tour. My question on these boats is what about heating. Is it done by the hot water tanks or is it a part of the ac system.

dream job ❤

Very interesting

i love this videooo

Sometimes when I'm fiddling about with my outboard I wish I had a second & third engineer to give me a hand

Perfect raft for my business meetings...

loved it.....

Lovely work environment, so as a commercial operation, under 6000 kW does the chief need a first class motor certification or second class is sufficient?

Shipshape and Bristol fashion!

Transformers for harmonics is amazing. Oil refineries worth several billion dollars don’t have those.

Not something you see too often on a yacht is a combo lathe/mill unit. I'd probably be down there making swarf on a daily basis. LOL.

Interesting, first time on your videos that someone finally referred to air-conditioned garbage. I know when we take a weeklong trip on our sailboat, garbage is one of my main concerns. We don’t air conditioner it But we double bag it and get rid of it as soon as we get to Port. Please more garbage videos and how crews deal with it . Thanks.

How many people does it take to keep that engine room so spotless?

Very nice vlog capt Tristen. As chief engineer my self Inside commercial fleet with long time experience behind me I got confused over couple things on the video. First one is transformer for harmonics, transformer primary duty is to transform electrical power, can be step up, step down on inline power transformer .Modern type transformers or so called LLC transformers can be with installed harmonic filters but primary duty of transformer is still power transforming, so I'm bit confused of explanation from chief here of equipment you have on board. Secondly please correct me if I'm wrong but did I see you walking in just socks on your feet inside engine room compartment? I see both of you not suitably dressed in order to enter engine room space, (as per commercial fleet rules)is this normal with inn superyacht industry and are you not getting problems from insurance companies? I have couple more question regarding planned maintenence if you findsome free time for chat.

Just curious…do you make your engineers draw, or commit to memory every pipe and line for the systems of the ship?

The sea my second home.

"It might have been the Captains mission but it sure as shit was the cheif's boat...."

Watching from Christchurch, New Zealand... Ross has to be a Kiwi right (based on accent!) ??

I’m starting to realize what goes into the insane prices of these yachts 😂. This thing has all the systems of a floating city 😂

Thanks,guys,Keith,🤠 France m🍷🍷

How long can this yacht run on generators at anchor before running out of fuel?

Batteries together?

What are those big cylinders at 9:25 wrapped in the silver blankets?

No FR clothing, eye protection, and/or head gear in a super yacht engineering room?

50' 000 gallons fuel. For perspective, the average in ground pool big enough for a diving board is half that .

whats a lathe?

Could a building engineer get a job on a yacht looks similar to what we do everyday? .We do PMs everyday
