Some of the best KZread content I've ever seen. You and to tug/tow captains should get an award for this. Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

My brother and I lived aboard, crossed oceans on Proust Cats and raised families for 30+ years. We did some home schooling and we spent some school years in paradise. Our kids went to school in Saint Maarten, the Bahamas, France, Spain, Panama and Greece. The outcome, 2 Doctors and a Experimental Physics PhD.(I always worried he had a small black hole bouncing around in the bilge) Life is short, experience is priceless. People like you give me a glimmer of hope. BTW My son, the Surgeon, died last August, complications from Cancer. Life offers no guarantees, extract every ounce of happiness from every breath you take. The pride we felt when the kids stood their first midnight watch alone, watching them make friends with kids from totally different backgrounds and colors, learning to prosper wherever they might end up is the greatest joy of our life.

This is fascinating to learn how these tugboat drivers perform their job and how necessary they really are. For someone way out here in Arizona we never really think about these tugboats or how important they are. This has been Soo much fun and informative to watch. Thanks Alfred for taking us along with you!!! Much love, take care!!! 👍😊❤️❤️❤️

Please allow me to correct your statement. These guys are Tug Captains.

I have never felt so poor as I do seeing all of these huge boats! It's really hard to fathom that so many people have this kind of crazy money to afford these yachts and waterfront homes, but yet there are so many souls who are homeless and living below poverty in this country! I just hope and pray that these extremely wealthy, lucky human beings are as generous with their donations and charities. Thank you for the video, it's awfully humbling!

Fun fact, 90% of these yachts you see in this video are owned by corporations, not individuals. Many are foreign corporations from places like Germany, England, the Middle East, etc... For the most part they are here as charter operations for individuals than can afford to drop a couple hundred thousand for a one week trip to the Caribbean, but can't afford to buy and operate the boat full time. So you probably are not as poor as you think, lol.

These guys are so cool taking Alferd and us along for this. When I get my mega yacht, I want them to tow it, )

We loved the Jungle Queen. It has shows and dinner on their island. It's a beautiful ferry ride through all the waterways.

Huge Shout out to Captain Courtney L Day, Captain Ozzy and Captain John for such an amazing experience!!!! I have to Say Alfred, as much as I love a good Chit Show this by far is one of the top three videos I have ever seen you do! Thank you for bringing us diverse entertaining and interesting content!!!! 👊

9 used to live in lauderdale working on Yachts and could never express its beauty from boot on the ground like this! This episode deserves an award!! BRAVO Alfred & team!!!!

LOVE your tug series! Ozzy is such a nice guy and skilled operator, too.

Alfred your excitement is great to listen to

Excellent camera work and narration. Best tour of Ft Lauderdale I have ever taken. Thank you again.👍👍👍👍👍

Both captains are truly professionals and are very down to earth! Communication is a must! From at work to being at home! If you want it to work, like a well oiled machine. You have to have communication! 💯 Awesome video and thank you!

Absolutely love this video. The Long format with no cuts was perfect for this. And super impressed with these drivers. Well done Alfred 🤙🏼👊🏼👏🏼

good job Alfred ! great bunch of tugboat captain's! they can sure handle things!

You outdid yourself Alfred! Amazing journey!!

I found your videos on KZread by searching "boats", and the boat launch videos popped up. They are great fun but this trip through Miami to Ft. Lauderdale is fascinating. My husband was captain on U S tuna purse seiners for many years (out of American Samoa}. He also worked as captain on research vessels and tugs in California. During those years I developed a great interest in boats...all kinds of boats. Now, I'm in my 80's and due to health issues, I'm pretty much confined to home. Finding things to keep busy and content is not always easy. Your channel has opened up a whole new area of fun for me. Without even stepping outdoors, I can enjoy the water and the boats in your videos. This trip on the tugs through Miami to Ft. Lauderdale was like a trip of a lifetime to me. I enjoyed every minute of it. You and your tug captains covered just about everything on the trip on the river taking the Pipe Dream to a new location. Your videos took me to a place I'd never been...Florida. It is amazing. The conversations were so interesting, and the surroundings of the river are extraordinary. So thank you for opening up a new "hobby" for me...watching the craziness of your Chit Show and your "special trips" on the river. Well done! This video is the best I've seen so far. Thanks again and shout out a big hi to Fred for me. He's one monster crocodile...Take good care and keep up the good work. I've subscribed today! (Can't wait to see all your videos.) 😄

Great video Alfred, thank you to you and Cape Ann towing for showing us this interesting side to the industry.

Absolutely outstanding video. I had to watch the whole two hours, amazing .. Kudos to the Captains and Alfred for an very educational experience.👍👍👍👍👍.

One of your best vids Alfred. Love all your shows & will be looking ahead to more good stuff. My best to guys at Cape Ann Towing for all the input. It was an enjoyable ride.

Too cool! 😀

Ozzy, you are a wonderful role model for young people. It warms my heart to see people like you that love their work and bust their butt to do a good job. Saaa-looot! Thank you Alfred!

Great content as always Al. This captain is awesome “ expect the right right right on repeat “ the rite is killing me lol

Watched all 2 hours of this amazingness!! Great work, Alfred!

Awesome job

Courtney took us up and down the new river on Dorothea III. Magical

New drinking game, take a sip Everytime Ozzy says "100%"

Just watching this video now, from Westport Washington where the second yacht was built.

Them guys do a great job, I myself would be stressed out how would they do it when it's real foggy!

Great video Alfred, Danny done good too!!! 😉

My first video was you going to retrieve the motor? That was my breaking point on wanting to watch you cuz I thought you guys are so cool. You even worked on the motor and stressed out somewhat. That was one of the coolest things to see you guys get it running

This is wonderful content. I’m a Marine Tracker nerd. Savannah is my port central jam. I love freighters. But seeing these tugs work! Thank You for this! Setting new sails for potential recruits. I love it.

Thanks so much for doing this. Really fascinating stuff!!

I remember going on the jungle queen 4 years ago pretty cool to see

Awesome video Alfred so glad I found your channel

Fantastic video. I've never watched anything this long. Absolutely love it

Ask Ozzie about Mr Ferguson! A must question!

Great Job!!

TREMENDOUS VIEDO- GREAT JOB ALFRED!

Great video 📹

Love the Tug video's Alfred!!!!

Awesome video bro! The skill level of these guys is off the chart.

So frickin cool!

Great video of an occupation some will never get to see in person. Why I love being a yacht insurance agent...I get to see these beautiful boats and hear the stories behind the scenes. Thank you!!!!

It was certainly a lot of fun

Very nicely done ! .. Captain Ron..

Alfred, thank you sooooo much for doing this!!! You’re right, a great office 👍🏻 The Miami River tug was great from years back but this one was very cool too. They look laidback, enjoying the job and do a great one, at that. Ron

Forgot to mention, they never use the wheel, only forward & reverse. Just goes to show you, wheels, rudders are overrated, LOL

This was awesome!!!!!!!! Great video of the Cape Ann crew!!

Love the tug videos. Been thinking about putting up my daily barge moving etc.

What an amazing video great job Alfred and Daniel!

Great video Alfred! It's funny seeing Cape Ann Towing down there in Florida. Cape Ann is where I live here in Gloucester, Ma! Best Regards, Jay

Hey Alfred. Greetings from Barbados. This vid is super interesting. What an awsome job. Little different to Black Point😂. Keep up the good work. Love your Chanel man.

That’s it I’m quitting hvac in Canada and coming to Florida with my resume boating is on another level there

Looking very nice!!😊😊

Thanks!

Great video Alfred. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Very interesting, have to be on your A game in this business. Maybe on your next tugboat video you or the captain could explain what he is doing with the levers going forward and backwards. Tia from Arizona City, Az.

You guys are awesome at what you do

Great video man cool to see a inside look of these river tug captions and what they go threw moving these multi million dollar floating houses. Crazy if you think of the amount of money that is sitting in just one of those little boat city's lol. And to think about the amount of money just in that one river makes me want to cry😂😂 lol

The best vidio you have ever done on the river that I have seen love it.

As Always Alfred. #1 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ .

Loving your content

Super vidéo thks

Awesome video Alfred, great they let you do a ride along

What blows my mind is the amount of millionaires there are in order to afford all those yachts it's like money just grows on trees

sounds like a real tug job!😀

Alfred, I really enjoyed this video. I love your content, it's always so interesting and the Black Point videos are fun. Thanks for your great videos. Watching from Livonia Mi.

This is a great video Alfred. I enjoyed this video stay cool.

I was called the Tug Captain as a teenager

So cool!

great video . super good picture quality . nice job man.

Ty guys that's so cool

OZZY! Too cool, I worked with you on the JQ!

awesome!!

Great content Alfred

Question. What type of transmission and/or reduction gear do the tugs have to be able to get in and out of gear so quickly and smoothly? Is it a type of hydrostatic set up?

Crazy never touched the steering wheel...love it...

Sorry for another question, why do these yachts like Pipe Dream need tugs when the captains do such an amazing job manuvering in and out of the tight berths

wow!!!

Curious as to the cost for a tow like this

GREAT VIDEO 😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤ YOU DO A GREAT JOB

What an awesome video.......I need to do a boat tour of that run you made
