I'm damn near 50 now. I have done a lot of things in my life. Not very often I see a job that impresses me much anymore. This is one hell of a gig. Congrats to all you have done to get to where you are. Oh and to counter a point I see below. There is a whole lot of value in silence... IE not talking. The radio chatter is all a person needs to hear to know what is being done. Their eyes are all that is needed to see how you execute the input to get the desired output. The music in the cabin, the acoustic qualities of the cabin. That is what it sounds like, that is the job, the environment. Far to many people want this finely curated distraction pumped into their brain... Zen is being in the moment.. not trying to make the moment fit them.

Tell me about what youve done and learned in those 50 years old wise man

I like the view of the inside of your boat, its what I'd imagine a spaceship cockpit to look like

The 1-3 beat of the Reggae music in the background is very good for the nerves needed for this job.

that tug is insane, its like a space ship.

Wow your tug is like a starship. I have fond feeling for tugboats they saved us on a terrible storm crossing from France to uk. Thumbs up.

Big up on the chill reggae/dub 🇯🇲! Bless up and keep safe chief!

This pilot is a true craftsman. Anytime one can make a difficult job look easy is a true master. 👍👍

its not rocket science,

That power from that/ those engine/s is immense. It is nice to see the perspective from the tug, beautiful work.

I was in the Coast Guard, stationed at Governors Island and interacted a bunch with the tug operators, and all of them were old types. If I had seen one guy your age, I might’ve gone this way. Really cool, and thanks for posting.

The USCG used to visit my school on Governors Island pretty often, we had a maritime program operating vessels and scuba diving right off the pier!

oh my god this is some cool stuff right there, i LOVE tugboats! it would be nice if there were multiple camera angles of your tugboat doing its thing.

I watch some random stuff, can't beat this though... Sunshine and water, sweet tunes and the hum of the engine, staring out the front of your starship looking bridge. Can even listen to this without watching.

I’m a push boat pilot. Always impressed by y’all’s boats and what y’all do.

Nice video. I have stood on a bridge many times in the past as tugs did their job. I would really like you to make a video to explain the power plant and how you manoeuvre one of these tugs. They are so different to standard vessels.

Awesome Job 👍Little but very powerful 🚢 💪

I’m an equipment operator and it always fascinates me to watch someone doing something completely different but still mechanical. Great video!!

Actually I was on the bridge at that time. It’s quite a special experience to see our ship from this angle thanks for the video

nice office 👍

That was fascinating. The talent needed is just incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Dont know how i come here, but ... impressive. Thats a Spaceship man

Wow, what a fun video! That is a sweet boat.

I see where inspiration for some of these spaceship cockpits come from.

I am blown away! Driving such giant ships!

From the port of Hampton Roads Norfolk VA I see this often and my hats off to you my man fine job 😎👍🏾

Slighty stoopid! Love the music

Great to find, more piloting to understand. Love it! It would be fantastic to have concurrent drone footage.

I enjoyed that more then I thought, great video :)

Very Cool, good job.

I have had the opportunity of going on pilot boats and tag along with pilots and watch them at work. You guys on the tugs ROCK !! Love the vid

I like the design of that bridge and I like the tunes!!!

Great video. Love to hear brief explanations of what's going on, but not too much. I felt like i got to pull up a chair and join you. Really enjoyed it.

I had no idea how cool these tugboats are. Very impressive.

I love it when he picks a spot and keeps on it. Watch something inside like one of the wiper bits and compare it to where it stays in relation to the ship.

God that's such a beautiful fuggin' wheelhouse. It's like you're flying a space ship! Subbed!

What a cool profession. Great video!

As a boat owner for a few years and one of my primary goals is not to run into another boat, it is really cool watching someone do it on purpose.

Now *that* is a helm station. Very, very cool.

this is amazing what a job cant wait to see more

Love your work love your life. Keep it up bro

This looks like a spaceship cockpit. I love it

Worked for McAllister and Moran as a mate back in the Local 333 days. Good memories

unless im mistaken this is the interior of a tugboat. such cool "little boats" so much fun watching them zip around

First video Ive watch from ya, youtube recommended yiur video and Im definitely interested in your content!

Nice content, Will. Something I haven't seen before.

Nice Job and a "Moin" from Hamburg Germany

Like the cockpit of the constellation, just struts everywhere

Really good stuff. Enjoyed it a lot.

Have to say you have skills to do that job with schotelles would much rather have the power of voith behind me so well done captain

Love the music choice! Being a younger guy and the top dog i can only imagine how hard you have worked over the years to achieve that position. I am a equipment operator and the controls and engine compartment seem so interesting to me. If you ever get a chance that would be cool to see how the controls work and what size engine and all that stuff.

Can you do a tour of your tug? Would love a look around and especially the engine compartment :)

Such a cool angle to watch this finesse! But hey, a headset mic with a PTT on one of the helm controls would seem to be a major improvement to a swinging CB mic from "Convoy"?? OVER

Awesome!

Damn thats one hell of an office🤠

Super interesting, never seen this point of view before. Really cool..started looking at a career change! lol

Fantastic..... I always thought being a Tug Captain would be an exciting job!! Mike.

Smooth Docking and sailing, hell of a lot better than old singel screw boats and twin screw tugs !

I don't blame the tug driver for lowering the blinds. That sun was getting a bit Reggie Dwight!!!!
