Good life lesson in this video that we can all take away. “There’s always someone with a bigger boat” stay humble

As a retired Boeing 747 captain I have to say that was a thing of beauty! That is an art form that few can appreciate. Well done captain and crew!!!

He's been in Portofino for years and is a legend in the RIBS. He's almost iconic to the town i'd say.

As owner of a Rodman 38 I am in awe of your berthing skills. I get nervous with my tiny boat on the Hamble, can’t imagine the pressures of berthing AWOL! Great to see the teamwork in action. Vote submitted. Great vids. Thank you.

I have been binge watching this week and the video production quality has increased greatly since the early vlogs. As Tristan says, always learning, always improving...

That was hilarious when he contacted the Marina and started speaking English with an Italian accent, reminded me of An Italian man went to Malta

I am a British expat and have lived in Italy for 17 years. I find that if I pronounce English words with an Italian accent I am much more easily understood.

What an absolutely stunning little port! Nice job Captain and Crew getting AWOL into her berth! Cheers Guys! 👍😎

This was the best docking video so far! The drone footage was a big help in showing what was going on! I also enjoyed all the explanations by Barbara. All of the different cameras and explanations made a great video.

I do enjoy watching the teamwork as you slip in and out of those tight spaces. The camaraderie of the staff makes your videos fun to watch, and I imagine, the work more pleasant! What an enchanting city. Beautiful!

Thanks for adding the other camera angles. It was good to see what's happening at the stern of the ship while you are maneuvering. The spectacular drone footage shows how beautiful the AWOL is.

Jealous at the beautiful places they get to see..awesome..the reward for their work, is to enjoy the beautiful places they travel to.

I have watched this video video several times and still amazed as to how Tristan turns AWOL like he does. Experienced captain.

Nice job captain. No rush, no fuss just professional. Andy UK

Spectacular... simply spectacular docking. This why I love watching this channel and the entire crew aboard AWOL.

Well done all of you. Great team effort for sure. Simply put...Loved this vid. Just fantastic.👍

Very beautiful views of docking AWOL. What a professional captain and crew. Once again the drone view brought the whole sequence together. A plus video!

Nerves of Steel. Awesome. We’re going to spin around & back right in. No Problem. Nice. 2nd time of watched this one. Thnx, CJ

That was one of the best videos you have done. Just a beautiful place and great shots. Thank you sir for sharing that with us.

Loved this!!!! I was in Portofino in August!!! It was so cool to see it from this perspective.

Wow AWOL is a huge yacht and yet she looks so small next to Wedge Too

I've watched this video several times, and each time the beauty of Porto Fino almost makes me cry. This skipper's ability to bring a MV into this port and display the highest skills of seamanship and professionalism is exceptional and inspiring. Well done. Again..lol

Amazing channel, really good content, stunning locations and filming from all the right angles - great job Tristan et al.

Well done captain. Yes tiny space but lack of streams and winds, so the manoeuvring is nice and easy.

Very skilful docking in a tight space .. the overhead shots were super!

Tristan you’re the man. You seem like a good dude to just chill with even.

Another great video Captain. Loved that the crew explained what they were doing and why. Always waiting impatiently for the next one!!

Your best video yet Tristan.. fantastic footage in a beautiful setting... you are living the dream thanks for sharing your life with us 👍

That was excellent many thanks for all your effort in making it for your audience.

Really great coverage! The combination of on-board views with the overhead view gives a very clear visual explanation of exactly what is going on. Gave the feeling of being there. Hope you continue to use this technique in future projects. Well done!

I have to say that you & the crew operate like the mechanism of a fine Swiss watch. Great viewing as always.

Agree! Here I am watching a video of what I thought was a superyacht then I see that freiking ocean liner he was parking next to. WAY too much wealth out there, unreal how big they get. Too think What I saw at Newport harbor was big is nothing compared to other world destinations.

Spectacular moves! Best docking video by far! Nice work captain and crew!

Green with envy Tristan... :) What a great life... Thanks for sharing this one; really nice to see Portofino via drone... Well done team, great job...

Truly such an amazingly beautiful little marina, who's beauty caught by the drone footage.

What a wonderful video. Thank you so much for taking the time to post. I so enjoy everyone you post. What a great Captain and crew. You all work so good together.

Beautiful. Great job parking the yacht and with the video.

работа профессионала всегда вызывает уважение.неважно ,он плотник,водитель,кузнец или летчик.прекрасная работа

Amazing footage and what a beautiful little port. Awesome docking skills. The one thing I'm learning for mooring my little tug is slow and calm wins the day. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent boat skills and calm, slow and collected as it should be, Remember: always approach a dock at the speed your prepared to hit it at and there’s always someone with a bigger one! ⛵💨

You got my vote AWOL, the drone pilot also deserves credit, awesome video and team work.

Its amazing to see the size of the ship next to you, thanks for sharing. Charles

What a great find this channel is.. I look forward to each episode. I happily voted for you!

The casual cyclist that assists with the rope on the jetty , and then just cycles away is amazing , what a life !

Excellent manoeuvring, relaxed and fully in control. Everything first time right. Nice camera work and last but not least : a beautiful place. Well done!

Big yacht owner: Why are they parking that canoe next to my boat? haha

I learn so much about yacht operations watching your videos thank you

AWOL is a Toy compared to Wedge Too at 65m! But, hey AWOL is super nice. Great job Tristan and crew. The drone gives a great perspective of Portofino and the cramped space to dock. Love your work and always look forward to your videos.

Thanks very much for this one AWOL crew. I miss that beautiful port - been a long time. Interesting, I’ve always backed all the way in. I thought I heard the Capitanerie call for a port hook and I was thinking ‘no, that’s wrong, the crew have it right’. But the Portofino marineros know that bottom, yeah? Never once had to have a diver to get out. Well done guys!

THIS MOMENT when ya thought the Awol is big, and then it get berth beside a yacht twice as big 🙏❤️ Grate captures. Thx for showing up all this.

Do you mean three to four times the size😂

Really well done. Each video gets better than the previous one. It's great to see your crew participating like they are!

Fantastic job! Barbara is awesome in explaining what's going on forward. Drone ending was terrific! You must be looking directly into the windows of your neighbors - so close!

Dang, I thought AWOL was a good sized yacht, and then you back in next to Mr. Fares,... boom, rickshaw. 😉

There is always a Ferrari faster than your one. There is always a luxury yacht bigger than your one. There is no more beautiful and classy place that the Italian Riviera. Portofino, Santa Margherita, San Fruttuoso, Rapallo, Zoagli, Remo....... Unforgetable places. Thanks for posting !

A good way for me to see Portofino again! Smooth and careful ship handling. It pays to employ an experienced captain and crew.

another great day at the office! Bravo....love Portofino quiet evening harbor. ciao

Great job, reminds me of my trip 3 years when i was on my friends boat and we stayed there as well, great location and you nearly did that docking as good our skipper.

absolutely loved this video. I felt I was actually there. Great footage. Keep it up. We travel with you.

Another great video thanks Tristan. Wow, Awol looks like a skiff next to the behemoth "Wedge Too". Lol

Captain you make that look easy. You and your crew are very deserving of my vote, best wishes to you all.

This video brings back great memories I remember going to Porto Fino we would always reverse in from the entrance to the dock You guys turn pretty much turn inside to the dock great job👍

Your style of showing what it is like to be a super yacht ships captain make me feel like I am on board. Very enjoyable watching you work as well as your magnificent crew. I enjoy the fact that you do not ask us to look through your face to see behind you. Many vlogs I watched early on the captain shoved the cameras right in his face. Keep up the excellent work

As always: absolute boss boat handling Captain. Thank you so much for sharing this. What you are doing, is what I was supposed to do, if I didn't screw up my life... Love your channel my friend:-)

Absolutely beautiful! A lot of skills, wonderful view and nice filming

I'm adding a star for the 1 legged dock hand! I never realized how the anchor was used to both help the ship turn in spot as a drag, and to secure the bow as a counter to the stern lines. It makes sense, I just never saw that before.

Incredible video! I may be landlocked in Texas but your channel inspires great dreams. Thank you, Tristan!

Great video, nice work team. AWOL have my vote 👍

Very nice mate! I am glad KZread recommended your channel. That was a Yuge Yatch you parked beside. I have been on many Cruise Ship bridges...it is nice to see how a Captain of a smaller ship.Thank You for taking your time to video this.Just beautiful .

I enjoyed that! Beautiful display of skill, and expertise of yourself and your crew👍

This is a really good video and you make it look so easy, I love the side by side comparison to the other yacht which dwarf's AWOL incredible.

Tristan, from day 1 I am following your vlog its great to see where you and your team started from and where you are now. Happy too seeing a new vlog every time big thumbs up. Happily voted for ⚓ A W O L ⚓

Very impressive Captain, I feel the love for your skill in your trade as I do. Only worlds apart I watch your channel and I don’t even boat. I will even vote for you as it must be a incredible experience aboard your vessel as the passion show through.

Definitely enjoyed the multi camera angles and crew explanations during the procedure. Great job guys! Looking forward to the next one.

Super yacht with super crew. I knew AWOL was big, but it was dwarfed by Wedge II.

Nice work Tristan .. but that yacht next to you .. holy mother of god thats big.

Thank you for sharing this Captain. I really love Portofino! =) Cheers from Brasil

omg the yacht beside you makes AWOL look like a tender...

If you've a Mediterranean choice for a port in a bad storm, Marina di Portofino is magical indeed, true Old World charm.

WOW all I can say is what a great job docking. Complements to you and your crew. The Marina di Portofino is very beautiful !!! Love your channel.

Great video! All the cameras makes it a joy to watch. Only downside is after a long hard day at work I wish it was longer ^_^

This brought back so many great memories of arriving in Portofino albeit on a somewhat smaller 50 odd footer. We could only get a berth for a single night and moved to the marina at Rapallo where by pure chance we got to meet the owner, the legendary Carlo Riva.

your crew make that look so easy. speaks well for your training

Voted! Good luck - and thank you for the info on the inner workings of a 500T yacht

Capt. great video, really nice drone shot at the end/music! Keep em' coming

Truly appreciate all your videos, very informative and great for learning what needs to be done by a yacht crew. Thank you.

The yacht looked so huge...until they backed in.

Love this channel, hope it will keep on going with Awol for sale.. Thank you guys for showing us this : ) And the ship next is just too mutch ; ) Love Awol, fantastic ship with fantastic crew

Docking done to perfection. Love the drone footage and seeing what everyone does when pulling into port.

Great to see truly professional people do a very hard job. I have a 28 ft. and that's all I can do.

Stunning: amazing, astonishing, astounding, blindsiding, dumbfounding, eye-opening, flabbergasting, jarring, jaw-dropping, jolting, shocking, startling, stupefying, surprising. I believe that says it all.

What a fantastic job visting all the different places meeting people and living life on board a beautiful boat freedom of the sea fantastic video keep up the good work 👍

beautiful port. Love the drone footage. Keep up the great videos.

That was AWESOME. The drone really added to showing the complexity (for a landlubber who has only spent time on fireworks barges) of that maneuver. Laughed when the 2nd line was tossed to shore and it landed perfectly. Guy must play horseshoes professionally. :) Every video it gets better and better. Adding in the rest of the crew has really brought your channel to new heights.

Tristan you have my dream job ! Like I tell my wife , who gives me a hard time when I dock our boat at a "cautious pace". Slow is pro ! Nice job Captain !
