@@TimSmyth23 Now that we have your views. Thank You Siskel and Ebert ! There's a critic in every crowd ! Have you not heard of constructive criticism? What a freaking T O O L !
Love your channel. Not only do you show much more than others, but you provide a very good explanation and description of things. Keep up the good work.
If you needed a Captain this would be the DNA of what you'd want. Given he survived a yacht fire previously, he never wants it to happen again. Nice video, as usual.
For a fiberglass boat that is an incredible tunnel. They did a huge amount of work to put that there with all the extra reinforcing around each bulkhead opening. In the long run it must make trouble shooting an issue easier. A bit like a military boat where everything is exposed for easy repair.( but too ugly for a yacht) Cheers Warren
Hi Captain Mortlock, Catching up on some of your older vids. I appreciate the high level of detail while in a confined space. Very informative and interesting. I'm constantly amazed at your level of applied knowledge. I have an even greater respect for you. INTEGRITY at it's GREATEST! Warmest Regards from Arizona.
Hi Tristan. Terrific video showing the tunnel. Most larger cargo ships also have the same thing - called the 'Duct Keel'. And because a lot longer would probably have rails along the whole length. Thus enabling travel along using a trolley, that you'd drag yourself through.
I enjoyed that we've seen the guests quarters then crew quarters back of house as such,garage and engine room and now the services tunnel that's got to be all areas now. Very interesting and to realise it much the same as any home thats mobile with the added consideration of being at sea. I think it would be impossible to have time to be bored as there are alway so many daily,weekly inspections & safety routines. Let alone understanding of all the tech & systems on board guests,hospitality,cleaning,booked mooring,navigation,weather logistics Amazing job to you and the crew.👏👏👏👏👏👌
Reminds me of the long passageway on cruise ships that runs ALL the way from the bow to the stern, typically one deck below the lowest passenger-accessible deck and just above the waterline. For ships homeported along the U.S. East Coast (and maybe elsewhere), it's been called "I-95" on every ship and cruise line I've sailed on. :)
That was such an incredibly cool video! Thanks for going into such detail. it's so cool to see how all the different systems work and I love to hear about all of the redundancy. Thanks!!!
Thanks again Tristen for another very informative video. You give us so much knowledge about boats and their operation. It makes me feel very safe if I were ever to sail. Good thing you don’t need to label the pumps. That last one would be redundundundundunent pump. Plus or minus an dun here or there. I completely lost count of the bilge pumps.
Very good description of everything in the tunnel Tristan and they have done an amazing job cleaning and painting it. How much fresh water 💦 do the tanks hold? And yes as the others have your knowledge of that boat and your description is incredible you are a real credit to your family and teacher and to all your hard work must be applauded 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've seen how these films end - there's always an alien monster hiding in these crawl spaces lurking in the shadows to pounce when you least expect it.
Great video. 1) Would you know what the green and orange wiring is all about? .... Is this wiring only on the lower decks? .... In a home we have 3 pronged plugs. Positive , Negative and Ground prongs. Do they still have a ground prong on a yacht?
Great video! However, was wondering about water tight integrity with all that open space. Seems like there should be more water tight doors in between spaces, e.g. if hit by another vessel broad side with breached hull at water line or below? All that space full of water would put the vessel in a massive list. All the pumps running could not egress that much inflow...curious?
compared to the size of the other areas (engine room etc) that area is actually not that big. Also i don't think it would cause a list as it is smack in the middle of the vessel
Great stuff as always Tristan. I may have missed it but I couldn't see any maintained emergency lighting down there in case of electrical failure. Are there any? Or is it not a requirement?
As an imminent purchaser this is very interesting, l think I'll insist on accompanying the surveyors on inspections. I have a better idea of what to look for on a vessel, my background as a mechanic engineer should help. Great explanations, more please.😁
So its like the Jefferies Tubes on the star ship U.S.S. Enterprise just the boat version :-). New sub'er thanks for the videos very entertaining and educational.
Nice fire protection systems on board. Looks like a Honeywell Gent Vigilon marine version for your fire alarm. Do you have standard sprinklers or high pressure watermist? You never see a video where the captain shows these systems, yet they are the most important systems of all. Great Video!
A great vid. So interesting. Thank you. I was thinking of renting a super yacht for a month or two. I hope I get one with a secret tunnel. Do they come as extras?
Nice vid. will you and the owner be thinking of putting water tight doors in later? seems that if it starts to sink or a fire, there is no way of closing off those sections. Should be away to seal off each compartment for integrity of the ship.
Idk if I missed it but if I didn’t, I noticed how you were talking about how it will send a fire warning to the bridge, if you got a fire warning, when would the extinguishers be activated? Does it need multiple multiple warning before it turns it on or does it turn on immediately when there’s a warning?
I realize it isn't a military vessel, however I'm surprised there are no water tight doors below the water line. Well, other than at each end of the tunnel. I suppose those are tight hatches.
great video , but was wondering , you check the smoke detectors once a month and there has to be a zillion of them so very curious on how much time it takes to do this task and how many many detectors are there
I am always curious about security. There are pirates about and while I understand not wanting to reveal specifics, are you able to defend your guests and crew against bad guys? I suppose that tunnel could be used for hiding? I cannot imagine myself, as owner of a boat like that and being unarmed. I would have an arsenal on board.
Seeing how many different countries they have to register into carrying firearms onboard is basically not going to be possible. Same goes for all those sailing cruising channels you see traveling the world. They can't either.
They did not separate the diesel from the fresh water tanks on a 25 year old Destroyer on which I was chief engineer. One morning as I was going on watch I stopped for a sip of water from the fountain and you guessed it…got a mouth full of diesel fuel. It was not a huge issue..we shifted fresh water tanks and kept a watch on the fuel tank level for a
So, are you about to launch the new and improved AWOL? The 2 best days of owning a boat, is the day you buy her, and the day she sells. Blessed is the man with a Friend with a Superyacht.

Every time I see your walk-through tours I am amazed at the complexity of your vessel.

I have several questions from you tour... Do you have crew that inspect these spaces on a regular schedule both at sea or in port? You mentioned that the bilge pump valves remain shut until needed. Do they have a "fail safe" like do they fail open? Could you remember to say what an acronym stands for? You used ISM inspection and was wondering what that means. And this is just a little poke at you for fun because you guys are so incredibly meticulous; just wondering when you were going to replace that part that said "replace on 2/28/2018?" Thank you for these great videos!
Most interesting, thank you. Towards the end of the video, whilst you were making your way away from the engine room, you twice said you were going aft. I guess that was a slip of the tongue? When you climbed up out of the tunnel into the crew quarters, the hatch in the deck was already open but there was no safety rail around the opening to protect others from falling down into the tunnel.
I wish hotels were safe and clean as that. Behind the scenes. Looks more like the inside of the space station. Very interesting
You know exactly what you are doing and everything about the craft you are in charge of. Respect to you.
It is quite obvious how proud of the vessel you and your crew are.
this mans attention to detail and preperation for passengers and skill in handeling the boat is fantastic and so is the blog
Your knowledge of this vessle is impressive and I'd have no problem setting sail with you as Captain. Outstanding and informative.
Absolute respect of your wealth of knowledge and attention to detail. If I was the owner if this vessel, I would hold you and your crew in the highest regard. I am in awe.
Now that was some detail. The owner should be very proud of you. And pay you accordingly.....

You have a very safe Yacht, am amazed that your's has so many back up systems. This is really great to see. Thank you for showing this.

Cool, I am writing this before I write this. This should be awesome. This is the kind of behind the scenes stuff I love !
I simply cannot believe how clean that is!! Could you send the crew over to look at my basement???

Nice tour, I like how there are so many fire detection and prevention systems down there.
There is a lot going on down there. It's impressive that you literally know what every single thing does.
Opening the hatch and looking down the tunnel reminds on a submarine
I thought it was the brigg.
Passages on a submarine aren't that big.
That was such an incredibly cool video! Thanks for going into such detail. it's so cool to see how all the different systems work and I love to hear about all of the redundancy. Thanks!!!

Thank you,TristanVery nice video,as usual.
Great video. She looks like she is ready for splash day
It reminds me far less of a secret tunnel and a lot more of a Jefferies tube from Star Trek. I think Jordi would be pleased.
Fascinating thank you.
This is so Star Trek. Yep, nerd here. Fascinating video.
yeah, Jefferies tube.
Thanks Tristan. That has answered another load of questions and thoughts that I had.
Very instructive. Thankyou
Very informative video. Your knowledge of the ship is quite impressive. Always look forward to seeing more of your content.
Very interesting.

Don’t forget it’s also where the hero hides and waits, then slowly kills the pirates one by one who took over earlier!

Capt, great videos, very informative, after 36 years working in shipyards I can tell you know your stuff.
Another great vid, thank you
Very nicely done.
great videos bud! i'm hooked

the scuba diver in me kept thinking wow that would make a really cool swim true on a shipwreck lol (hope it never happens!!!)
Border Control thank you for revealing the “secret stash place”
Good work finding and removing that rag. (Pumping hazard)
Thanks, Off camera I wasn't happy about that.
Looks like a good spot to "get away for a minute" 😏
thats a lot of thinking in the design there ,, very clean . just oozes expense.
thanks for the very interesting video. Am i correct in saying that at the end you were moving to the Forward area of the boat, not aft as mentioned?
cool as usual cappy.
Amazing.
Great video, absolutely fascinating. Do you have self-powered emergency lighting in there?
this is very very interesting
Great stuff as always Tristan. I may have missed it but I couldn't see any maintained emergency lighting down there in case of electrical failure. Are there any? Or is it not a requirement?
LOL, somebody drew a "Happy Face" at 2:43 in the upper right corner between the grey hot and cold lines!
Secret door with a massive chrome handle on it ,very discreet 😂
This makes my back hurt just looking at it
😂😂😂 it hurts my back watching it again 🤣
As an imminent purchaser this is very interesting, l think I'll insist on accompanying the surveyors on inspections.
I have a better idea of what to look for on a vessel, my background as a mechanic engineer should help.
Great explanations, more please.😁
So its like the Jefferies Tubes on the star ship U.S.S. Enterprise just the boat version :-).
New sub'er thanks for the videos very entertaining and educational.
and if all those backup on backup bilge pumps fail there is always a bucket lol
Nice fire protection systems on board. Looks like a Honeywell Gent Vigilon marine version for your fire alarm. Do you have standard sprinklers or high pressure watermist? You never see a video where the captain shows these systems, yet they are the most important systems of all. Great Video!
Where do you put the chase boat during crossings?
A great vid. So interesting. Thank you. I was thinking of renting a super yacht for a month or two. I hope I get one with a secret tunnel. Do they come as extras?
Nice vid. will you and the owner be thinking of putting water tight doors in later? seems that if it starts to sink or a fire, there is no way of closing off those sections. Should be away to seal off each compartment for integrity of the ship.
Can you make a video of the crews quarters? Love your videos keep up the good work. Thanks
There is a video touring the boat and I'm pretty sure he did all the crew quarters in that as well.
Do you have the capability to make fresh water. On board?
Idk if I missed it but if I didn’t, I noticed how you were talking about how it will send a fire warning to the bridge, if you got a fire warning, when would the extinguishers be activated? Does it need multiple multiple warning before it turns it on or does it turn on immediately when there’s a warning?
I realize it isn't a military vessel, however I'm surprised there are no water tight doors below the water line.
Well, other than at each end of the tunnel. I suppose those are tight hatches.
Is there an enclosed space entry procedure for that area?
Seems crazy
Yep hosing the electric board down with (must assume) saltwater will do the trick.
So you point out all the redundant safety systems yet in episode 40 your boat and 4 (?) others where lost. Is there something amiss?
At 5:20 the recycle valve is throttled. Why?
New sub here, thx. for sharing. What happened to AWOL?
Hi Tristan I was wondering how thick hull is. I hard some1 say 7 inches thick is that true?
great video , but was wondering , you check the smoke detectors once a month and there has to be a zillion of them so very curious on how much time it takes to do this task and how many many detectors are there
At the end you said "Aft". Did you mean forward?
Probably 😉
@@SuperYachtCaptain It's all good, was just getting turned around down there 😊
Seeing the preview, I expected the title to be "Transitioning from super yacht captain to submarine captain."
Good thing there is ventilation in there.

How many gallons or Liters per minute are the bilge pumps rated at? And if necessary can all the pumps be used at the same time?
I would think the deck in the tunnel and engine room areas would be painted with non-skid !
How often do you clean and paint the tunnel?

Do you ever dump your holding tanks while out to sea?
They are in the Med. No blackwater dumping allowed by any commercial vessel.
Wow. Veeeeeery interesting, and great boat design btw.
How do you get rid of grey and black water?
Thanks and regards.
