- I show you the process on how we dock a super yacht in Monaco.
Captain Tristan Mortlock is an award winning Super Yacht Captain with over 15 years experience. He started his yachting career in his teens and now runs one of the most successful charter yachts in the world. Tristan is currently serving on Motor Yacht AWOL, a San Lorenzo SD122, built in 2009. AWOL is a multi award winning yacht and her crew take a lot of pride in their work.
Captain's Vlog is about educating interested parties on what happens onboard a Mega Yacht, Super Yacht and the yachting industry. To share the life of yacht crew and life at sea. The BIG shipyard refits, paint jobs and marine engineering works. To travel some of the worlds most beautiful destinations.
The first owner of the Super Yacht AWOL was non other than Mr Piero Ferrari himself. The wheel house still contains the original Captain's chair with the Ferrari emblem.

No music, No irrelevant narration, just taking in the moment; Fantastic.
just the sound of the wind is perfect. 👌
@@christophermattheys6209 would like a pop filter or mic sock though
Only thing missing is the view of command
Why did you show us what you are doing with your hands???
By coincidence I owned a Dodge Monaco.... until its gas tank fell out on the highway.... bursting into flames
I clicked on this video like I might need this info one day... lol
HAHA me too but it was cool to watch
@@ratfinkron5793 Ron! It's Tammie from Lucky Dawg! Fancy meeting you here!
Hey T i watch these videos and dream
@@ratfinkron5793 So do we Rat. So do we. Never say never though! When I win the lottery, you'll have a stateroom of your own!
@@ratfinkron5793 No need to dream Rat, you can enter our competition to win an all inclusive weeks vacation onboard. :))
great job captain.. it was an honor to watch you do that....
As a former military deck officer we'd have over a dozen men on the bridge doing what you do by yourself, and our process involved a lot of yelling and other nonsense, it took six men to handle the anchor, the list goes on. I am impressed, while your ship is a little smaller, not by much, your main engine hp is about the same but we had auxiliary turbines (45k hp) that gave us 32 knots burning 20k liters/hour.
I have problems parking my smart car in a regular spot. nice job very cool to watch
Prior to this video I watched a narrow boat on an English canal, talk about both ends of the scale!!! I loved both of them 😄
isn't it extraordinary that we are lucky enough to see such things on youtube, an experience most of us will never live but so many of us want to see
Couldn't have said it better myself. The world at our fingertips!
Barbara is a beast! ( I mean that in every wonderful way) Great Crew OUTSTANDING Captain!
So you can't come in full speed then do a handbrake turn,,,,,,,like with a car??????
@ TheLuckyOne (or not so) - Not full speed, 4 knot speed limit. Pay attention!
It’s all happening so quietly. When we dock our little pontoon party barge at the lake, there’s always lots of SHOUTING involved 😂😂😂
Wow it shows how important good communication is and the ability to trust your crew, very nicely done
All you guys have dream jobs, but especially Tristan. Soooooo cool,
Wonderful job Captain Tristan.... much respect for docking a super yacht in of all places, Monaco. Very well done!
Would be great If you give Barbara a cam and the guy in the stern another.
Nice Video !
I agree multiple cameras and angle shots would be great! But that's a lot more expensive, and harder to edit. Still, a great video. Thanks for posting, thumbs up!
And also Dron view!
Calm the fuck down, this is CZcams not a Marvels movie!
Chris Munoz we are calm. You calm the fuck down. Not every day we get see and understand how to dock a vessel of this size. Cheers to all
@@wixom01 well not so much expensive, Gopro 6 costs about300-350$. I think he can afford one or two of those.
He is the only skipper I have ever seen standing on the starboard bridge wing whilst docking the ship portside on !!
Ive looked at all the fine yachts in Monaco harbour a few times over the last 40 years, but always from the shore. Lovely to see it from a beautiful
Yacht, mooring. Thank you.
That is so intense. Honestly, my hands are starting to sweat. What a great job.
Thank you for your awesome videos.
Captain Tristan Mortlock : With the utmost respect I do appreciate that you take the time to make these videos, and at the same time I want you to know that I among others live out our dreams vicariously through these types of videos and yours is the most enjoyable to me. That being said, I wish you would think out loud all the time , let me rephrase that - THINK OUT LOUD ( unless its unsafe to do so ) don't want to confuse the crew. As for myself you can't be detailed enough in every aspect of the operation this type of yacht, although mine would only be around 80 feet. Keep these fantastic videos coming.
You make it look so easy Tristan well done
You have the second best job in the world...The owner of your vessel has the best job in the world!
Another fine example of team AWOL doing what they do best; quality work.
Never hear about any passengers you guys just drive around in a super yacht lol nice video I enjoy them
Expertly done Tristan, even I was holding my breath until you caught sight of the port side of that Sanlorenzo. LOL! .
Just came across this vlog, I used to be the First Officer on Motor Yacht ' Empress Of Cannes' operating out of Cannes, this brings back a lot of memories.
Fantastic boat handling skills.
Brought back great memories. Thank you for posting. I’m retired now from an 86 meter Lurssen.
I had been waiting for this one to come out now I know how to dock my super yacht in Monaco
Excellent approach angle
just smooth as it can be
great job captain.
Well done captain 👩✈️
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You back this boat better than most large jet pilots do their landings! No pressure!
GREAT JOB CAPTAIN AND CREW‼️🛳🚢⛴ Vinny 🇺🇸
Wow impressive, you really know what you are doing
Nice and easy approaching. Smooth manoeuvre proofs a skilled captain and a good team. Thanks for the video. Marinos Super Yacht captain.
Absolute perfection Tristan!
The idea to put the go-pro from your view,brilliant !!!!!!
I am learning by watching, little commentary needed. Picture worth 1000 words. Your videos answer so many questions I have. Thank You.
A $99.99 1080p camera kit will be handy here for that reverse approach.
"Dilbar" was in on the huge mooring at the entrance when we where there in March..it was huge, made all the other yachts look relatively small.
One of the largest yachts owned pretty sure
Another great job skipper. Been to Monaco a dozen times and never tire of seeing the sights.
That's intense lol gets the heart going
lion heart is beautiful ,great skills btw very informative with your manoeuvres helped me get a grip of parking my small 12m I haven't had long .
Thanks!, Now I know how to dock my super yacht
6 minutes in M/Y Skyfall off the starboard beam [I love the Bond films].
when you first began this, i didnt hear you mention rudder controls. just bow thrusters and engines. maybe you did mention this, but i missed it Captain Morelock, but you handled it like a champ. award winning indeed. thank you.
At this size of the yacht i would have guessed, that the Harbour/Port Pilot comes on board and gives guidance
I was there last week, cool video same yachts still there. keep up the good work....
Fantastic. Very impressed. Kool Calm and collected
You have to respect the great job the Captain did after watching the video from the Captain's point of view. I know the Captain has a crew and trusts them, but to not be able to see anything more than the starboard side of the boat and still guide it into it's slip is amazing. I don't know if they make RF remote controls for yachts, but if they don't, they should! This should be something the Captain can do while walking anywhere around the boat. It would be easier (I assume) and safer (again, I assume) if the Captain could move to the stern of the boat to dock it the last few meters. Nonetheless, amazing job - top shelf!
Yes, remotes exist. But so do interferences. And thus, they aren't really used that much. The only thing the captain needs to know precisely is the alignment respective to the dock and neighbouring yachts. And that information he can gather by himself from the side. The rest is simply a matter of distance from the dock. He has people aft and astern to be his eyes. He doesn't need anything else.
Great video again, professionals make things look easy, that's why those of us who aren't view with enjoyment. Thanks for sharing the daily activities of the Super Yacht AWOL.
Love Skyfall and Wedge Too, yacht heaven
I ve been in Love with Monaco pretty much my Entire Life, It's my place of lifetime residence, God Bless you guys!!!
A video of line handling would be prime . Thanx
Much experience proves to all it cannot be replaced. Good job by you and the crew. BTW, AWOL is a toy compared to many you passed or at berth.
What would be nice when you can is to show us when you put the anchors out after berthing.
No anchors used since this berth used fixed lines. Look at the neighbouring vessels
No busy marina within the mediterranean will use anchors.
You made it look it easy...excellent work!
because it is
Very well done
Good job Tristan now I am going to try that on my boat simulator on my computer
Simple fascinating, Tristan.
I am glad to handle my Princess 43, but this size is slightly a 'bit' different 😊
Well done,
It's too bad you cant have a drone up in the air giving feed of your distances and line up for docking..
And if the winds are high.. at least have cameras angled at your blind spots for maneuvering showing on monitors in the bridge...
You still have deck crew calling out distances etc.. but this might help in aiding you with more difficult spots..
Great videos Tristan... love learning more about all aspects of super yachting and seeing how jobs and procedures are done with you and the crew..
Keep up the awesome work..👍
Brilliant!!!! always wanted To Go to Monaco And The f1 or Historic/car Or Rally but Capt ** you've Just done all In a couple Of Vlogs Thanks haha at 63yrs old I probably wont get theit But thanks Tc uk liverpool
I thought landing. An airplane was intense for the first time. Beautiful 👍😎✈️🛳
Very confident parking! I would have darted through the helm to see what was on the port side several times during the reverse and be asking a lot more questions over the radio. Why I'm not a boat boss.
Love the re-fit and docking vids as well as day to day stuff. Very informative. I find it hard enough to park a truck on a bay in the wind, would be a lot worse if the road also moved like the sea does nice job.
Love the video. Thank you. If there is any way for us to see more of what you are doing with the thruster, rudders and throttles that would be awesome. Cheers from Atlanta GA
Very slick
6:00 The Yacht there in the upper left-hand corner of the video is Lionheart, a 90m built by Benetti Yachts and launched in early 2016. She has a cruise speed of 15knots and is said to have cost about $150,000,000 US to build.
Damn, you need a lot of friends to go on cruise... :-)
@@Spazik86 Thing is that the owner(a British Billionaire named Phillip Green) never went for a commercial rating of any type so it still has the max legal guest accommodations of 12 people. It carries more crew than Passengers.
Awesome job putting her in
Very impressed, you did not even bother with fenders!!
Interesting
Great Job...
Very nice job Capt.
I would love to drive one of these into port and dock it.
Hey mate, big g’day. There is a vessel 2 births up on your STBD side named Princess Iluka.
She was refitted here on the Gold Coast Australia. She is a well known vessel here in Au. The transformation was amazing, if you like refits, ask the captain to show you before and after pics. nice to see she is still steaming around and looking good.
Beautiful!
Was in Monaco weekend of the E-prix. Saw some beautiful yachts. Fantastic job.
Cool to see this. Would have loved to see shots from the stern or port side during the manoeuvre as well.
Very well done Captain.............Love your channel.
Nicely done skipper and the team, and that’s why they pay you the big bucks. Great video
VERY cool !!!!
That's about the best boat Handeling Iv seen sir nice job. I work at the New Port yart club in R.I. U.S.A. so I know how tough it can be again nice docking.
He's very good at docking considering how freaking huge that yacht is. If I ever have money to take a vacation on a yacht, I'd be perfectly happy booking a cruise with him.
Nice driving Captain, probably closest I’ll ever get to Monaco on a boat....Thanks ,
You are so calmly in charge whilst cruising among billions of dollars in vessels! Cool!
fantastic videos.
Always a nice accent from the french guys 😂😂😂
This was so awesome to watch!
I love the "How to" title to this video, just like "How to sharpen a knife", "How to wash a window", "How to thread a needle... with a 37' super yacht".
Your videos are really fascinating. I have so many questions...
Does your starboard tach not work at that wing station?
If the weather is less than spectacular, i.e. pouring down rain, do you just gear-up and still use the wing station?
Is it the common courtesy of the vessels on either side of you to put out their fenders? I see that you don't have any out so as to not get tangled with the other yachts.
Did you grow up on boats and develop your interest in yachting as a career? How long did it take for you to earn your four stripes?
***EDIT*** I just found the five episodes, "How I Became An Award Winning Super Yacht Captain", which I shall watch intently! Thanx!
It would be sweet to see your lever movements synced up in the bottom corner or something. Great channel btw!
Super Yacht... the Captain, after turning to back in to a dock site, should be able to put the vessel in a holding pattern. Then transfer controls to the aft control center. Simple but you have to have a rear control station,
What for? This yacht easily has a crew of 6 or 7. You have plenty of eyes aft.
I wish Trucks had all those gadgets to get you in that truck stop parking space!!
Boss docking Captain.
So nice....
Good work..
So impressed with your seamanship I have only discovered your blog and find it absolutely incredible well done
That's how you become an "award winning super yacht captain"; by using the bow thruster! I was literally standing at the dock turning up my nose at the creaking noise of defeat! ;-)
Earned your pay for sure! Congrats on your upgraded license.
take a lot of skill to back that yacht in like that brilliant !
Great video as usual, nice one.
One of your charter competitors has brought on board a 'social bosun' crew member who, among normal duties, will also be responsible for creating original content captured for the exclusive use of their charter guests using go-pros, drones and underwater cameras. The yacht hired the guy, purchased the kit and he will apparently work with the charter guests to create and capture their bespoke on-board experiences.
Interesting how they are upping the guest experience..........technology and a great editor can be awesome.
Maybe you should consider ?
I look forward to when you and Jared connect as it would be fantastic to do a "joint" production.
Possible topic could be a discussion on charter operations...breaking down the costs, crew compliment, et.
Oh how cool was that!
Like a Boss!!! Can you teach my daughter how to park her car?
I love this docking videos! I have been following your channel since the beginning and it never gets boring! You could upload a video explaining what is your favourite boat/yacht!
Great job! I typically bounce off of at least three things whenever I pull in to the marina. (kidding! It's usually just two. :) ). What? I don't have bow thrusters. Heh!
Just came across your vlog. Really enjoying the content.
And how to go stern to in monaco.
