Believe it or not I have become a better boat handler watching your videos. "Slow is pro" I tell myself every time I tie up or get in close proximity to other boats. Keep up the great shows.

@@johnbyrne3831 Schoolboy stuff .. :) 1/2MV2 ... Increase your speed from 1knot to 2 knots means you hit the dock with four times the force. Tristan's best remarks were his explanation on why to leave the fenders out until outside and clear. Plan every action well ahead of time. Brief your crew. Drive the boat and make it do what you want it to do. Reacting to events means something is not going well and you are not quite in control.

I'm sitting in my office in Canada just watching the beautiful blue water and warm air in this video. If only.

It’s days like this where you just have to love your job! So beautiful!

The whole experience is beautiful! Love seeing the boats you passed, especially that mono haul at the end 🤙✌️

Hello crew, it's always nice to see how relaxed everyone is and how conscientiously everyone works. In addition, the relaxed acoustic background of the cicadas. Wonderful !

Good to see a competent captain in action. Having worked on these yachts myself, the disposition of the helm can make all the difference!

This is great. Really like the voiceover providing great background and info. You’re doing great! Keep it up, your content is greatly appreciated

Great seeing you and the crew working together letting go and departing port.

Beautiful! Gonna miss your videos. They take me away from my mundane, everyday life. Escapism at its best. Godspeed crew.

Thank you so much for sharing all of these “behind the scenes” excellent videos!

Thanks for the running commentary. It's so much more interesting if we know why you make the moves you do. I really enjoyed this. Please do more like this!

Great to see the departure as 2 years ago i followed (and commented) on the arrival with Barbara

A really excellent demo of a tip top skipper who knows exactly what he’s doing and is exceptionally good with his crew.

Perfection. You and your crew Tristan are so focused on every detail.

Although it looks like watching “paint dry” or “grass grow” 👀 hearing your play by play commentary makes it interesting & informative 👍🏽👍🏽

I like these type of vlogs. Very interesting! Well done, Tristan and thank you!

I wish I had thought of doing something like this when I was younger. It was just one of those things that never even crossed my mind as a career. I know I would have loved it, and excelled at it. Oh well, thanks for sharing the video, and nice job to the captain and deck crew. Well done!

Thanks for yet another wonderful video showing your expertise as well as that of your crew. Well done, Captain!!

Fantastic location, professional work in every way. It's kind of amazing how tight these ports are. It's hard to imagine a wealthy owner being happy with a yacht 2 feet away on each side. Especially if he has 1ft itis. Another take on "slow is pro" is "reverse is your friend". Great video. A captain should always be willing to learn new tricks.

Dear Tristan enjoyed watching your video. As being for long time Master of mega container ship I appreciate your smooth and professional maneuvre and procedures including those related to fenders. No matter the size, good seamanship is same for your beautiful little lady and for 220 k tons vessel. Wishing you always good luck & 7 feet!

Fabulous vid Tristan. I was absolutely there during the departure and the commentary thing is great. Very clear information. Thanks a million.

6:45 More chain also helps with the scope of the anchor chain which results in the anchor dragging less because it isn’t being pulled “up” as much as compared to an anchor that has less chain out.

Anchor calculation works the same way in small boats too, generally release the chain 3 or 4 times the depth so the anchoring is more secure. Great video, very nice to watch 😊 Also good news that no one anchored on top of your anchor 😁😁

I love these videos. The skill, the teamwork, and of course the incredible exotic ports and locations just take me to places I will never have the luck to experience. The Captain always has a smile (and I would too if I had that much amazing machinery to handle) making it even more pleasant. Great Job and thanks for showing off your astonishing talents.

Stunning videography, the 360 camera is spot on! Your videos are just so relaxing but at the same, like this one I get to refresh my info on boat docking and anchorage, alltough im not a superyacht captain but a charter sailboat (50ft).

You have an amazing job. However I do appreciate how much training you had to do and have a massive responsibility for the boat, crew and the guests 👍

Great job, nice to see a superyacht handled smoothly and calmly if the conditions allow it. Also good to move out slowly, nice move for all the anchored yachts so they dont get tossed around.

Thanks for the vid Tristan - I really like the maneuvering vids for some reason - I couldnt dock a dinghy in that port - man you have a great job! Good on ya man!

It's always a pleasure to watch you, and your crew maneuver AWOL in a professional manner.

Thank you for professional approach trough going out of marine ...Great class, captain! Thank you.

Thank you Tristan, enjoyed that video whilst having my breakfast in a fresh Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺, beautiful departure (like always), stunning setting, stay safe !

Not often i comment but have to say that i love ur channel, its really fun to see everything that is going around on a yacht

Kia Ora from New Zealand Loving your VLogs from way down in the South Pacific! Have been having major withdrawals between each videos. With not being able to travel overseas watching you, Giv and the crew gives us some hope. Your informative narration, great crew interaction and of course the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean makes for fantastic viewing. Please keep up the great work. So excited for you and your next life phase hopefully full of adventure, fun and more great videos! Ciao! 😎🌞⛴🗺

Great teamwork you have built a strong team. Thanks for sharing the video with us.

I'm new to boating and learned a lot from your departure video. Though my vessel is only 23 ft, my anxieties, procedures and frustrations are very similar whenever I pull out of our slip. Going slow, learning what how your boat handles, dealing with wind and other rude or straight up dangerous boaters are all things that come to mind. Nice to see that even experienced captains on a super yacht worry a little too. Thanks for posting.

I've mostly driven speedboats under 30ft with no bow thruster..we have a lot less control over the boat in comparison with twin screw boats with bow and aft thrusters or nowadays IPS pods too...

That was fascinating. Thank you for the glimpse onboard!

I am a full time cruiser in a 34ft sailboat. Sometimes I have to dock or depart on my own (solo) but thankfully rarely in harbors this busy. Having bow thrusters and a crew is such a different world! My respect.

It's a huge job in the 30-40ft bracket where you're expected to do it all! Even more so in later boats with no joystick or skyhook and coming into a marina with some wind, needs nerves of steel

Perfect departure from a very lovely location. Wish we were back there now, but perhaps next year.

Fascinating. Love all the detailed explanations.

Hi Tristan. Glad to see you back. Greetings to All Crew. Hi From Caribbean Island Of Trinidad 🇹🇹

I really hope the next chapter for you and your crew (if you can stay together) will continue these types of videos!!!

Finally!! I have been looking for such a tutorial for soo long. I want more 😊

Thank you so much for this amazing and highly interesting vid, Tristan 👍😎 Btw, I do leave all fenders out myself until having completely left the port, even our boat is only 50 ft 😁

That was incredibly informal. First time I've seen a boat leave a dock like that. Keep them coming. 👍

nice vid I love the fact that you comment everything keep doing this things its just amazing

Great video and I look forward to seeing more of your travels and perspective! Thanks

Amazing vídeo! Great skill, great leadership! Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks Tristan for this new video. Can't wait for the next one. 🙏🙏👍👍

Well done Cpt and thanks for giving us a great view !

What a beautiful marina! I love learning about how you maneuver.

Very cool to watch a pro do something like that. It's a very similar procedure to getting my 20 ft starcraft out of our marina. Well, except for the crew, harbor master escort, windlass, bow thrusters, and the captian never reached overboard to push himself off. Other than that, same same!

I work at a marina in Michigan, USA. I operate the equipment and get to dock the 40'-45' boat we store and launch every year. I love standing at the helm and would enjoy your job so much. Lol This is my first video I've watch of yours but you earned my subscription

Greetings form Switzerland and a Happy Sunday to all of the Super Yacht Captain fans! Tristan, we're all happy to see your new videos and as for myself it gets more tens as we all know that you and Rebeca are facing a new future. We're all feeling concerned, even if we know that the future belongs to both of you. Celebrating 50 years of having my but on all sorts of embarkations and sailing on several seas, you both mean a lot to me. We all want you on KZread, after this season. Much love, me.

Good stuff. Well done (the video, narration, team work, and ship handling) 👍

Thank you for a great video...pure professionals at work.....well done !!!...are we living !!!!

That looks like a beautiful place the water is so clear

Very interesting vlog Tris.Loving the work nice and steady

Really glad I came across your channel, I've been binge-watching!

Crazy, when I depart with my Doral, it’s a little pull on the anchor, looking left and right, a sip of Corona Extra and off I go. Handling a ship your size is real work!

Great work by a coordinated crew. Consise directions and no questions. Getting down to the precious few on AWOL.

Very interesting video, I'm pretty fascinated with the details of moving these huge boats safely

Coming in and out of port is where the captain really earns his money, having a competent crew makes all the difference!

We never get bored of your arrivals/departures, Tristan. Keep um coming! I have to admit, I'm jonesing a bit, wondering what next season will bring.

Super cool..Christian. I was waiting for the normal engines to kick in when anker had lifted and you had used your starboard bow thruster to get strait. That would have been a sick sight man. Moving away, seeing it from the back. All new CAMs are such an upgrade. More of those VLOGs wanted😁🙏😎

I just love maneuvering in and out of tight spots but my biggest was only a 60 footer. Looking forward to seeing you maneuver with a cross-wind.

I find this type of video very interesting and educational. Thank you!

The real kudos for backing into the dock in the first place!

You must have confidence in the captain! You seem to be in control. And what a place to cruise.

Great Captain and fully thinking! Thanks Tristen!

KZread(YT) first took me to Haulover Inlet videos which I think are awesome and I'm guessing because I watch enough of those they directed me to this video. Such a difference in the pace of the videos. This is actually the first every video of a superyacht departure I've seen and actually learned quite a bit. Such as the length of anchor they drop. I always thought the anchor had to be taught but, he said it is the weight of the chain more then the anchor itself that keeps it in place. They were halfway out the harbor before they had it pulled in completely. Crazy how much you can learn on YT.

That was wonderful to watch and the way you all work together! It is really interesting to see the different cameras you have but then, when you think about it? You would need them really! Thanks for showing that magical port!

Love these departure clips thanks for sharing!

Great video as always Tristan, nice to have up to date news of AWOL & her crew, keep them coming l can only dream 🇬🇧

Great manoeuvering and explanation for exiting the port

Perfect launch , Thank you for the beautiful views!

hello Steven, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. I just found your picture attractive, hope you don’t mind us chatting sometimes to get to know each other.

Thanks, Tristan, glad to see you out and about. How many times have I seen fenders bobbing along as their owners speed around? Too many, me thinks. Looking forward to your next video. John

One can see your passion and love for your work - or better - profession. I desperatly wait for every of your new videos - due to their yachting content, your filming-style and your commentary-skills. Can't think of you doing anything else but captaining. Therefor I will not quote on your opinion-poll 😉

Tristan thanks for the vids. I am typing this from my new 60ft yacht on the cote d’azure. Your vids have taught me a lot on managing a boat etc and especially stern mooring. Not sure I would have got here and upgraded from my 37ft on the Thames without getting the confidence from your vids and other vloggers. Many thanks and hope to see AWOL in Monaco soon. Cheers

Slow is best with fenders out and enough flow - I have twin jet yactch and I need to remind myself counter intuitively sometimes I need higher rmp to go slower for more maneuverability. Great channel

It’s wild how far the anchor chain gets dropped way out in the middle of the marina. Really surprised they don’t get tangled up with other chains more often.
