- Becoming a superyacht deck crew member will require you to work in a certain way. This may sometimes feel a bit unnecessary, but it's important to ensure the smooth running of the deck. In this video, I take a detailed look at how to store a water hose, which will be part of your superyacht deckhand training once you get on board.
Even if you're only doing yacht day work, looking after the equipment and making sure it's ready for the next person will increase your chances of being offered a permanent contract.
Yacht crew duties like this are not limited to the deck department, and even as a yacht stew you'll sometimes find yourself being asked to do things that might seem a bit pointless. This is all part of working on board a super yacht in the junior ranks, so make sure you're happy performing these tasks on a regular basis before choosing it as your next career.
Now that you know how to coil a hose properly, please check out the rest of my superyacht deckhand duties playlist at the following link:

Thank you for watching, and remember:
Work on a superyacht, move up through the ranks, and maximise YOUR potential!
Would you be happy to work in this way, or does it all seem a bit pointless? The answer might just help you to understand if yachting is right for you! I look forward to hearing your thoughts...
Amazing video as always thank you by any chance could you do a video how to keep chamois clean and tidy, micro fiber, brushes and ropes …. That will be amazing
@Eco Africa & Abroad Thank you!
@Antony Carmelo Marzano Thank you for this video idea! I was keeping the mooring ropes tidy last weekend, and I'll be sure to cover the other items in future videos.
Please don’t ever think or listen to anyone that possibly says this is patronizing, this is great for any boat, yacht, RV etc!! Thank you, keep up the great videos!
I never considered that this information would have so many applications! Thank you, Stephen.
My father was a firefighter for 27 years. You think *you're* obsessive about storing hoses in the correct manner? 😆
Haha, I bet he could teach me a thing or two!
One of the most frustrating things is to be tangled up in a wet heavy construction hose because it hasn’t been taken care of; I totally can relate Matthew…
Everything in its place, and everything done a certain way makes life easier for everyone they just don’t know it yet.
"They just don't know it yet". This is so true! Thanks Tony.
Thank you for this advice, Matthew. Winding the hose, or electric cords, in the wrong direction or a speedy twist really gets my shorts in a bunch. I’m passing this along to my wife and son!
Thanks Rick. It seems that the information shared here is relevant to more people than I first thought!
It takes some life experience to understand that the smallest details make the biggest difference. Well done is not perfect.
I learn so much every day, thanks also to you.
It doesn't matter what you do, the many aspects of life always lead to the same wisdom.
👍👍👍
It's all about the details! Thank you, Daniel 👍👍.
Explaining the logic and benefits of keeping things organized, clean and tidy, should result in a better understanding and hopefully willful cooperation. Details regardless of size, big or small they all matter. Great video as usual Matthew, keep them coming.
It's great to see so much enthusiasm for the smaller details. As you say, they all contribute to the smooth running of the yacht. I have many more video ideas on similar topics!
In-depth subject analysis, fabulous delivery and video editing, awesome scene selection. Matthew, you are a natural. Teaching Mr. Average Boater new hacks to look like a professional.
Great video! Orderly and regimented all the way!
You make coiling a hose look easy. I always mess it up. Good video.
I've had a lot of practice! But it also helps that this hose is well trained, and the temperature is warm. When the hose gets cold, the material becomes rigid and difficult to work with.
Your basics and tutorials are my favorite videos) Looking forward your 10k subs soon!
Thanks Caio. I set a goal of 10k subs by November. I'm confident we can make it!
Neat and tidy with everything where it belongs so that I don't have to look for it next time I need it. Organisation is key for me. Unfortunately, my husband is the opposite- shove everything in the closet or sweep it under a rug like no one will notice.
"Neat and tidy with everything where it belongs". This is music to my ears! 😃
All your videos are so great! I really enjoy your style and your attention to detail. Details do matter.
Thanks, DJ Hannah. It's great to hear that you've been enjoying the videos, and I really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for a great video, keep them coming.
Thank you, Tingeling. There's plenty more to come!
Nice one!
Great video Matthew !
Thanks, kobdublin!
Amazing as always, thank you.
Thanks, Jamie!
As always, a great instructive video
Thanks Alex! These tips and tricks should be very useful to you this summer!
@@WorkonaSuperyacht off course!!! But I have a lot of questions 😂
This is absolutely brilliant. A bit absurd perhaps, but a terrific example of the whole world in a small action. Your rational is absolutely on point. I can't even imagine working on a super yacht. Not my dream. However, as one of four crew on a 12m catamaran I did just sail across the Pacific Ocean, and this morning on my 45' sailboat (yes, technically a yacht) I tussled with my own hose as I washed my boat. (And I just checked. Yep, clockwise. And when I was done I spent some time struggling with it to get it neatly coiled. It matters even on my boat.)
What were some of my thoughts after 7000 nm of sailing? Most of my knots were automatic, in a gale (yes tested), blindfolded. And yet my cleat hitch and fender hitch were inconsistent. Not acceptable. Curious considering I'd just done both hundreds of times. So I've been practicing them.
Your point is an important one, and not just for super yachts, one has to do things consistently, efficiently, neatly and with intention. (Neatly is where it's probably best I don't have a super yacht dream. Neatness counts, more so on a super yacht.)
Awesome Matt :)
I'm glad you liked it! 😊 Thank you for commenting, Blue Ocean.
Love the video, just wondering if this is directed to one of your colleagues on ur vessel 😆
Haha, kind of! The inspiration for this video came after we had somebody on board helping to wash down the yacht. They coiled the hose too big, and left it full of water!
I did not know what to expect here, Matthew, but I know that I’ve had it when my hose has kinks in it and both of my hoses are hung clockwise! How amazing is that? I definitely have the compulsive attitude to work in your business. Thank you for showing me the light.
My pleasure! 😊
@@WorkonaSuperyacht You are very welcome, Matthew!
Yep...! Coming from an interior perspective (jets), there are lot of the same things for us, as you mention also on the interior of the yacht. If something is not where it should be, or has not been put back properly, it absolutely boils my blood. Makes life, and work, a lot easier if everything is in its place and where it needs to be, ready for next use.
Hello Andi. I imagine that the annoyance is amplified even more on a jet because your working area is particularly compact.
Sometimes hose can be coil anticlockwise equally easy as clockwise, because it was made out of material that do not remember shape. Same goes for the lines, fire house. If someone will put back hose upside down, it looks like it was coil anticlockwise.
Method of coiling things clockwise is very important, because it is direct link to anchor stoper - you do not want to go anticlockwise there.
Even outside of boating, how many times am I annoyed because the pipes have been tidied in bad way and you sometimes get the water left in the pipes, getting out on yourself. This video is necessary inside and perhaps outside yachting👍👍👍👍👍 ( i hope my english is understandable 🙏🙏🤣🤣)
It's perfectly understandable! Thanks, Rudi. 👍😊
The small things make life easier. I should try to get back to my military training for keeping my stuff at home. Start the morning by doing your bed. Even if you have a bad day, you will have a nice bed to sleep in and that will help you have a good night.
There's a great speech by US Navy Admiral, William H McRaven on this exact subject. I presume you've watched it?
@@WorkonaSuperyacht couldn’t remember the exact reference, but you nailed it.
Aside from the water part, this is similar to handling electrical and audio cables in music studios and live venues.
Time, money and management pressures, teamwork and professional attitude will make or break your success.
The nerdier videos the better.
Haha, there's plenty more nerdiness where that came from!
👍☑️ Comercial vessels, yacht snd sail, hoses, cables and electrical wires, if you learn to coil them correctly they will be 10 times easier to use and last much longer. Tks
Oh yes, electrical cables can become particularly problematic if not coiled properly. Now I'm looking at my anchor cables and wondering if they need a video too!
Couldn't you empty the hose quicker by blowing air into it? Sort of the inverse of sucking on the hose to syphon it?
These derails are very very important
They sure are! Thank you for commenting, Nika.
Good day sir what is the work of houseman in the yatch.?
By houseman, do you mean steward?
What quick disconnect are those?
Hello Mahi Mac. The brand is Gardena.
If a job is worth doing do it right
I couldn't agree more!
Important when cooling up the cable for charging an electric car, too😂
For electric cables you'll want to use a different method. I've seen it called both French coiling, and the over under technique. This helps to prolong the life of the cable, and there are some great video tutorials about it on CZcams.
@@WorkonaSuperyacht Oh, thanks! Did not know that yet, but apparently I have to look it up now :)
