The only problem I have now is getting my son over here to replace the left rear outside door handle. Runs like a big dog and handles like a dream. Beautiful Vanilla paint and Saddle Brown upholstery. The only thing I don't like is it won't pass a gas station.

I think I went broke just looking at that engine room. Nice.

When you do more of these in the future can you try to show the crew areas? I think the crew mess and cabins are some of the most interesting parts of these boats ( don't get me wrong the bridge, engine rooms and technical spaces are exceeding cool!). Passenger areas are cool but showing how the crew lives on these boats is super interesting. Especially since they have to make do with so much less but usually spend more time on the boats than the owners ever do. Well that and the only way I'd ever exp any of these boats would be as crew so it's cool to see how they live on these boats. The areas they hide crew compartments on 40-60ish boats are amazing IMO. Like secret compartments on the boat you'd never know where there. lol.

Great show of the Support Vessel just watching this I felt like a kid in a candy shop thanks Tristan !

Thank You Capt.Wonderful toy hauler.Keep the great videos coming

I love the idea of a support yacht. I could have all types of toys on it, like an Icon A5, mini subs, cars, atv’s, tinders, speed boat, helicopter and anything else.

I did always wonder if this was a thing. Mega yachts are basically just portable private hotels and the more tours you see the less room they have for toys. This obviously fits with those that want to take their yacht away from the mooring and actually have fun. For me I'd prefer the support Yacht.

You need that stairmaster, because if you went up and down those stairs right next to them over and over, neighbouring observers would think you're crazy.

I think those tank boats are going to be the next big thing for big boat owners. Perfect for secluded coves.

Basically bringing super yachting into the upper middle class range. If u buy yacht in a tier u can rent bigger or smaller yacht from same corp in your tier level. 3 diff tier budget, luxury or premier class tier. Super yachts r premier class by definition. Mega yachts r class ultra on their own.

I started requiring that of my race crew and passengers in 2015. We would provision drinking water and require them to bring a water battle and tumbler for cocktails. So no red cups either. Thank You for supporting this cause.

If you have to ask the price you can’t afford it!! Great accommodations and toys!!

Wow! Hard to comprehend. ….plus four engines

I know nothing about this stuff but when i heard support vessel i thought storage and crew. Food. Linens. Toilet paper. Seasonal stuff. Overflow of these supplies. And then room for a little bigger crew cabins so they could spread out a little. Possibly a medical bay and or quarantine area! Putting all that stuff on a support vessel would then free up more of the mega yacht for fancy stuff for the guests.

Great vid Captain! Next time you’re in Ft. Lauderdale at Dania/LMC/Dereckt or up in W Palm at Rybo, give Revay Coating Consultants, Inc. a call. We provide corrosion assessments inside and out, as well as provide Coating surveys. I’d be more than happy to offer one free survey, as well as meet and share how we can support, the support vessels 👍🏼 safe travels sir!

Good idea Kevin. I’ll see what I can do.

Very impressive support vehicle, Captain. I’m wondering if you have made a decision as to whether you will be acquiring a support vessel for A W O L? I’m sure it would be quite an expensive acquisition, yet it will separate A W O L from its competition, for sure. Love your videos. Keep up the great work!...Ed

Most ppl don't own helo & employ pilots they rent them in area they r at, same idea w/mass produced support vessels for pushing or side car work. Not many yachts can handle 2 chopper push prop cost & operation , but they save a ton moving ppl not boat to a fro. Rent them w/support vessel or when u need them as needed.

This is a likely to be a multi charter yacht support vessel. A day or half a day with up to two charters at any time. Toys will be in the water when guests arrive. With this in mind a guest can charter a smaller charter and take a half day or several days with this support vessel. Several charters can transfer guests through a day and the charter can move off to make room for others.

55m just for support! I don’t have enough friends to want to do that lol

As someone who never learned to swim, having a support boat follow would make me much more comfortable. I know in the worst case that the boat I was on sank, I'd just be floating in the water on a lifeboat or a life vest (swimming wouldn't come into play), but it would be nice to know I'd be picked up quickly--I don't like being in the water.

Thanks for another great vlog. How wish I was mega rich.

Looking nice...

Very cool. Thank you !!

Stuff the yacht, I’ll have this instead. Stunning.

Wow excellent video. Been searching a while about yatch world and recently discovered the suppourt vessels; off course i needed to know the inside design and working, and this video is just perfect for that. Any more information, or channel, or website to keep learning is wellcomed. Thanks again!!

4 engines that is quite impressive, but again I like the new hull w/rounded front tall axe for bad weather working ability higher front deck ht, PLUS my yachts in my world will hve a pushing support vessel or side car motor cycle design, so all the fire risk & noise is off loaded onto this working prt u mass produce, & the yacht itself just the fun pretty stuff maxing out useful prt per ft. All the cost & hasle & mechanical & supplying & resupplying & fueling is off loaded onto support vessel. The yacht owner doesn't hve to deal w/crewing or any of that cost except when using that prt right sized for distance speed & occasion. Owner just has to hve his req staff from house or houses w/him & his yacht from his own slip. Just enough engines to dock & maneuver, leaving all the boating & driving cost to the side car or pushing support vessel & all the boating head aches & cost & hassle. The support vessel along the journey can get swapped out so u hve crew that speaks & knows & lives in the area handling your yacht at all times for short time. These support push or side cars can b mass produced in common size & cost of yachting will b cut by 2/3rd easy may b more.

Wow wow wow 🤩

Tristan, great video as always, but think you really want a support vessel.. :)

What a wonderful vessel! I think I'd prefer that to the super yacht if they had a chef. LOL I'm curious about the spray pattern from the bow cutting through the water. It seemed too turbulent. P.S: That was a shaky vid. Time for your videographer to invest in a gimbal stabilizer so we don't get seasick on land here.

Very Nice, I guess there must be a market for this type of vessel. I'll bet it Very small.

I feel Tristan thinking of a larger cabin for himself. Who wouldn’t? :)

i can respect a guy who owns a support boat for his main boat, and the support boat has support boats!!! so meta. lol

Should have mentioned that this vessel and similar are adaptations of commercial offshore support vessels for oil rigs, wind parks etc.

Greetings from Colorado! This's your best video EVER! Having I'm polled several friends in Annapolis And the you but several friends in the water community of Colorado… I am sure that the new we support vessel for AWOL should be named BWOL. And depending how you rank the toys I think the defender should have a vanity plate, CWOL, the Ski Nautique stern should be DWOL...And on and on. OF COURSE You will need your larger support vessel because, otherwise, you won't have Room for the FLOATplane! The larger vessel also seems more luxurious to the extent that younger and more active guess would be comfortable and satisfied was staying on board BBWOL...No?

Love the info in this vid. Nice to see something the average dreamer could never expect to encounter. You said we could ask question so here goes..... Whats the seakeeping like on a vessel like this in rough Atlantic water? Would guests and/or support staff be comfortable on a long voyage? I see the range goes up to 75m.... what would be the largest/longest tender you could carry on the 7512? Thanks for taking the time

I too have often wondered about vessels such as these in rough weather, more specifically the "safety" of toys carried aboard the "Aft Deck" area with what seems to be rather a low freeboard. Have there been cases where rough seas have swept "toys" overboard...? With regards to the vessels' actual abilities to handle rough seas, it should be remembered that whole concept for such type of was pioneered primarily to cater for the needs of off- shore drilling platforms and as such had to be able to function in ALL weather conditions. "DAMEN" the Dutch shipyard were amongst the first to produce such vessels to service the "North Sea" platforms. Any sailor worth his salt, will confirm that "The North Sea"(the area between the northern part of The United Kingdom and Northern Europe including Scandinavia)is amongst the most treacherous stretches of ocean anywhere, notorious for the sudden development of huge storm systems including hurricane force winds. As far as "seakeeping" is concerned, I think that there is no need for concern, but for comfort of nervous passengers, prone to "Mal de Mer" such voyages might best be avoided..!!

I was most surprised that the support vessel does not carry extra fuel for the mothership. Instead of being overpowered with 4 huge engines, there should have been an additional 20,000 gal of boat juice... Just my thoughts...

Hi Tristan. Has your yacht owner ever considered buying a princess yacht? Built in Plymouth england. Clearly the world is his oyster so to speak, fortunate. Well worth a look. Multiple models, varying in size, world class quality. Aquaholic is impartial, but i think he tends to favour princess. Just a thought. Take care.

Great video Tristan....does AWOL have any plans to winter in the Caribbean at anytime??

Those bicycles are set up very similar to my primary

I could see this boat as being an independent business and revenue stream. It could be subleased out to charter yachts like AWOL and others on a need basis. Not every one of your charters is going to want ALL the toys, some may be happy with just a few, and not want to pay for things not used, others may want the extreme vacation, and want some extra friends and family to enjoy it with them, then the support vessel is a perfect match. With more than one yacht using the same support vessel, with some scheduling creativity, you could make some serious money!

I'm speechless

I'm somewhat surprised the support vessel transits from the Med to the Caribbean on its own power. Many large yachts are ferried on yacht transporters to reduce wear & tear of trans- Atlantic voyages; fuel costs/crew maintenance alone might near pay for a transporter fee.
