Loved it! Really picked me up on a grey morning with all this bad news. Smallest I’ve crossed was on Seadream II, so I fully get how magical those days in mid Atlantic are. Nice one! 👍😎
Great fun video! I'm a sailor so watching a super yacht cross the atlantic is like a vegan sneaking in a big mac! Looks like you guys had a blast! But wow does that ship ever plough the water....super nose heavy! The waterline looked a bit better upon arrival, perhaps something to do with the weight distribution og all that diesel?
Fuel tanks go right up to the bow pretty much, so when full for an extended crossing, she does tend to plough. We drain those ones first though, so it’s gets a little better underway.
I am in agreement with the other comments. Well done video and very interesting but I would have liked if you had some interaction. Tell us how the crew deals with days on the open seas. Introducing the crew and their rolls. How long it takes, how much fuel is used, the average knots you ran, and over all yacht life during this crossing.
This is a very good video but guys please next time add more details like how long it took, how many pax it can take, the cost of sailing mainly in terms of cliet payments, can the payment be split amongst a group, what's the menu on the water way, do you cook on your own, how is the weather like in the atlantic, how does it feel for first timers, how do you go about the laundry etc. I don't see this as a waste of time unlike the first comment states all i can say is use the 14 minutes adequately on your next yatching video, thanks guys 👏👍
Fairly routine. We’d cross the Atlantic twice a year on that boat. Florida-Med around March and the other direction mid-October. Probably did that trip 12 or so times…
Best vlogs are the ones made by the owners where you see the real details of Journey these people are just the staff trying to show that they are having fun
😂 Owners don’t make their own vids- a crew member might collect some of the guest footage and add it to crew-captured footage from drones/go-pros etc then edit it into a holiday video for the guests. Not sure what you mean by “real details”? FYI- crew do have fun, we’re only working 8hrs a day so there’s plenty of time to fill on a delivery/crossing.
It’s my job. And don’t ever offer to work for free for a superyacht- they’re not short of cash. You might get passage on a smaller, privately owned yacht in exchange for crewing/cooking etc. Try some sailboat forums maybe?
Dude- any answer i give you will be completely irrelevant as your consumption will depend on size, number and fuel efficiency of your main engines and generator(s), type and displacement of your hull etc etc You’d beed to work out your own fuel consumption on some shorter trips and go from there.
@@InvisibleIncStudio Question, you're in the middle of your trip... Yacht breaks down in the middle of the ocean. Do they have tow yachts that can pick you up? What happens?
@toddblack8029 It's funny you should say that! Exactly one year later on the same route, we lost function of both main engines 3 days out from Gran Canaria. A tug was dispatched from the Canary Islands but would take 5 days to reach us. The Chief Eng an d I had a stressful 36hrs fault finding and ended up making one of the engines function using parts from both. We turned around and met the tug which shadowed us back to port.
We are the crew. The boat is our home for most of the year so it’s unreasonable to expect us not to use the gym and hot tub when there are no guests on board. Besides, it’s usually better to keep equipment in regular use, than mothball it for months at a time.
I'll take a nice smaller slower sailboat any day. Nice and silent, having to work for your power, having to actually sail the boat, not just sit in a luxury apartment as you cross. I agree, it would've been much better is you had shown the engines, talked about fuel consumption, time it takes, your speed, ANYTHING but that non stop music and the people holding their arms up like they actually did something to get across the ocean.
As I’ve already mentioned, MisterBee- this isn’t an educational video made for your benefit. This is our place of work, not a free ride. I was one of the engineers on this boat and I can assure you that my days were full of maintenance and repairs on the crossing, but I’m not about to film myself servicing a generator. Much in the same way if I went on a business trip to Barcelona, I’d film the city and activities not the office work. Instead of complaining about what this video didn’t offer- why not put all the things you want to see when YOU sail the Atlantic in a video of your own. Don’t forget to include some footage of you grafting- you don’t want anyone to think you had it too easy, with the wind doing most of the work...
@@itsMe_TheHerpesI find the insinuation that we sit in luxury or wave our arms in the air for two weeks low-key insulting tbh.We work hard at what we do. And complaining that there’s not the information you would like to see in a video that wasn’t made for you just seems a bit picky, don’t you think?
@@InvisibleIncStudio yes there is a lot of work volume when it comes to ships like this. idk, it's hard working in closed spaces like that, so i will put this on the count of you being stressed. maybe this is how you vent here while keeping it real on board ? idk. but your reply just made you seem pugnacious. i really hope you are not the pugnacious type, because the easily offended and pugnacious should not work in this domain. i really hope you are not like that with your colleagues because it takes a special sort to do this job, qualities which are hard to find in humans these days, so it would be a shame for you to be rude because of minor misunderstandings. it's always good to think about the other person's point of view too, before you decide to get upset. sometimes people want to insult you, but most of the times you either misunderstood their intentions or... it's a harmless sarcastic jokes. i apologize if this message indisposed you, i can asuure you it's not my intention to do so. so... reply as you wish, i will take no offense in it.
@@itsMe_TheHerpes No worries - I’m actually pretty chill irl. I just don’t get why, with all the viewing options on youtube, somebody would bother criticising a video for not including info they wanted. Anyway, peace out ✌🏻
This is the best thing I've watched this year. So enjoyable. And, I downloaded all the songs used. Thank you. Very refreshing.
I want to thank all of you for inviting me to come along on this crossing, i can honestly say i had a once in a lifetime experience... Thank you......
Would love to do a trip like that. Actually did the trip many times but on a submarine so didn’t see much until we got there.
As did I, SSN-678 boat here.
For the Royal Navy or the US navy?

I was always surprised just how flat calm it can sometimes get out in the ocean. We traditionally stopped for a halfway swim at the midpoint.
whats up with the ridiculous music on all these yacht videos?
It’s to show the fun-
I agree, it's pretty horrible.
Looks like a dream job to be part of the crew, I would love it!
Fantastic. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Guys u are blessed, I wish 1 day I cud do something like that hey.
Awesome video, love your work

its not an exploration yacht , with a flared high bow. more of a dock queen.
wouldn't want to tackle heavy seas with it, want a bering for that
Yeah I noticed that, thinking it was nose heavy..
Fuel tanks go right up to the bow pretty much, so when full for an extended crossing, she does tend to plough. We drain those ones first though, so it’s gets a little better underway.
Very nice video and crew.... like it. What a pity my boat cannot take a so long trip ....
Music in trips videos should be banned
WE WONNA INJOY THE NATURE SOUND DAMN 😫
Nobody gives a fuck about you. It early wasn't made for you..

Sweaty Mack my sentiments exactly
@Casas Inspiradoras That's disappointing. You figured the chef could have whipped some nice dinner or sandwich rolls real quick. LOL
WOW! Fu.k I'm jealous as right now, that would be a dream of dreams come true for me just to be able to experience an adventure like that.
You can even get paid to do it!

Spent two weeks on this boat, it has an inflatable slide that comes off the side. It was so much fun!
Lucky
it was $50-100k easy 2 weeks
Martin Kulik Bruh who are you- Bill Gates
@@journeythroughtherails5294 when you have 12 guests on board, the price isn't insanely expensive.
blewyd Well there’s not that many folk who have $20k+ per person to drop on a week’s holiday...
One of my dream 😍
Whatta awesome video. Very jealous indeed. Just a couple of mates cruising the ocean in that sick boat.
What's the fuel cost?
Was this a difficult journey?

How do you get to do this? Ive heard that you can sort of maintain the boat during the crossing, is that true?

You might get passage on a smaller, privately owned yacht in exchange for crewing/cooking etc. Try some sailboat forums maybe?
Whats the process for customs when you come into a port? And whats with all those cops everywhere harassing you?
Nice burgers 😊
They are!
I really want that boat. I know I can’t afford to even fill up the fuel tank but I still want it
About 120,000 litre fuel capacity. You do the maths!
4/4/2023..
Today I found out that a camera drone is faster than a mega motor yacht.
I am used to the videos of the La Vagabond and this is just for show. Beautiful yacht though!
What does the crossing pay?
Depends on your role, but most crew are full time rather than just delivery crew. Guide salaries can be found here:
uksa.org/superyacht-salary-guide/
music 1st song anyways kicked ass
I was expecting an inside boat tour.
The clue of what to expect is in the title of the video...
Fuel cost?
How many tons of fuel did you spend on average? i am planning to go to brazil from dakar, my fuel tank is 1.5 tons enough? i dont know.
Dude- any answer i give you will be completely irrelevant as your consumption will depend on size, number and fuel efficiency of your main engines and generator(s), type and displacement of your hull etc etc

super!

2 girls and all you guy's sausage festival!
Ever heard the expression "don't shit where you eat?"
Wow
Nice
and another video ruined with music.
Honestly trip music in videos does my head in. I just skip over that garbage immediately. Stop doing it please!
Life is cruel 😀
Is this yacht chartered or are you guys the crew? I wouldn’t like to see my crew chilling in my hot tub if I was the owner...

manofmanyminds ok. I don’t know how things work.

Thanks for your insightful comment.... but it's spelled poser.
Not one thing interesting .... ow wait one . That girl in yoga pants. She seems fit
And yet it's still more interesting than your terrible Tiesto phone-camera footage...
@@InvisibleIncStudio who cares ...... lol keep walking ;)
manofmanyminds LOL BRO 😂
Hate it u are poor
How are they poor with a ship like that?!?! And why do you hate poor people? You dumb spoiled jerk
That's a very beautiful yacht! Wish I could get on one of these.. I never sailed on the seas.
I bet you're a fun guy
You could always have a career change- I was a high school teacher before I became a yacht engineer!
