I love how the ship isn't your standard super yacht. It has so much personality.

My kind of boat. No flim-flam and poncing around, just a well thought-out seaboat.

I am impressed with these crew spaces, especially that laundry room. Love that the engineer has that space by the bridge, instead of stuffed below decks in the engine room. Private being not leased I assume. I imagine the stress levels are lower not having to cater to unknown guests all the time. I glad to see you afloat again. I love your perspective and how you share your knowledge.

Thanks Tristan for the look around. Great seeing you in a captain's roll again.

This is a boater's boat! I absolutely love it. Your pride and passion for all things boating is infectious. These detailed walk-throughs are great, looking forward to the next one.

Would love to hear what each crew's role is on a yacht of this size

This vessel deserves high respect for beauty and function. Most importantly, she was built rock solid and has safely transported souls on journeys others wouldn’t venture.

In a recent video, you referred us to MY Loon. I watched one of her videos, and was surprised at the wide pillars between her wheelhouse windows, which significantly restrict the watchkeepers' visibility. The pillars would not have been a problem in the days when the only seat in the wheelhouse (of merchant ships and warships) was the Captain's chair, reserved solely for his use. Watchkeepers stood throughout their watches, and by standing close to one or other of the windows, they achieved unrestricted forward visibility. Because they were on their feet, they would tend to move around, facilitating the all-round lookout that is required. Indeed, OOWs were taught as cadets to move around to achieve this, particularly when masts, derricks, cranes and other parts of the ship's structure obstructed visibility, especially astern. The problem is exacerbated when watchkeepers are seated. The obstructions caused by the pillars between bridge windows mean that another vessel closing on a steady bearing (i.e. collision course) can be hidden from a stationary watchkeeper by one of these pillars until it is very close. It seems that yacht designers are oblivious to this danger. Radar has improved, but is still no substitute for looking out of the window: Collision Regulations still require a proper lookout to be kept by sight.

Love it when Tristan opened the cupboard full of tea towels. You could tell he genuinely didn't know what was in there until he opened it.

Thank you. Your one section at a time is working great for me. Looking forward to the next.

This was very informative, thanks for these type of videos. One thing that struck me is that you mentioned there's only 4 of you crewing the boat. It seems like such a small number based on all the tasks and jobs I would imagine you all have to do every day and how jobs and workloads are shared. Could you please do a future video where you break down crew allocation per vessel and how crew numbers are determined, based on size of the ship or whatever other criteria.

As a 62 yr old female, this was very interesting! Probably many comments otherwise came from men who wouldn’t know an iron from a soda maker!

I actually find this yacht to be more fascinating than AWOL....some may not agree with me...but I love the look of this yacht. This one has a real ship look to it with class....

it's good to see you happy and excited again.

You are a captain. With such an eye for details and putting function over design speaks volumes. I love it how you approach things. Continue please i have fun a longs side you

Being a long term follower, he has had a very successful career in the Charter yacht business and was duly recognized for that effort. However, I am sure that is a very demanding business keeping the guests happy and pleased enough that they want to be a repeat client. The statement "follow the people, not the boat" speaks volumes to me. I am sure that this is a well-educated decision and can't wait to see what the future brings!!

A proper little ship.

Like the galley layout. Everything seems to be within a few steps to get. The refrigerator doors seals may need cleaning or service. There should not be condensation around the door edges. That is lost energy. Enjoying the videos welcome back.

Nice boat. Kind of fun watching this and Loon at the same time.

So great to see you back on board of a yacht and that happy!

The only gadget I love more than my laminating machine is my label maker 😍

I'm loving this for you, and happy to follow along once more

teasing me with engine room at the end of reveal . as a life long engineer and generator specialist . show me the generators , great to have you back . Cheers Ade

Interesting , Thank You .A fine tour . looks well designed , usable and Seaworthy

We need a great adeventure! South pole visit, Iceland etc!

This video is SO excellent!! Wow. Love it. What an excellently designed boat... thanks for posting like this.

Thanks for the tour and looking forward to the next.

Good to have you back Tristan doing what gives you passion. Can share where & what Giv is doing these days? Thanks🙏🇨🇦👍

I love this boat. Very cool! I’m excited to see where you take her!

Like the classic woodwork. Gives it a real explorer yacht feel. Two things stood out in this video. There is a lot of condensation on the refrigerator and freezer doors. Leaky seals? Not all lights where working on the stairs.

Nicely done,,great private yacht,,enjoy your time..😊thanks for sharing.😊

An empty beer-can in the Fridge! You have to talk to your Crew!🤣🤣🤣

Very impressed by the laundry area. I've seen many tours of bigger yachts where laundry machines were jammed directly in the crew mess so you would hear them and smell them whenever you sat at the crew mess table. Although Espiritu Santo has a big amount of storage space for its size, it was clear in your tour that virtually every storage locker in the galley and laundry area were jammed full. So storage space is pretty much maxxed out. I think the precautions for offshore conditions in the galley and elsewhere were superb. I often wonder how well some "expedition" yachts with huge open salon areas and elaborate dining areas work out in rough conditions . Not enough handholds.

Not a bad laundry room at all. My laundry was in the engine room on my first boat. 😢

Using every spare inch of space efficiently. Well built

Another great video Tristan. Been a subscriber for years and its great to see you back onboard another yacht, particularly with this one being very different to AWOL. Looking forward to the engine room tour, and meeting the rest of the crew.

Excellent Video! You did it again! Thank you for sharing. Let the boss know we appreciate him allowing you to make the videos on his boat?!

What a lovely yacht! Love the laundry too.

Great episode! Thanks for sharing, Tristan! Stay safe and keep rolling to crew and passengers! 👍👍

I'm enjoying these videos and love this boat.

Lovely vessel, congrats, a real ocean going boat.

I really like this yacht - it suits you.

That looks like a great vessel Tristan. Crew mess, galley and laundry are good, plenty of booze aboard. Plenty of storage too

Thanks for a great video, yet again.

Love the video! Thanks

Which do you prefer, being captain of a private yacht or a charter yacht, i would imagine there are a lot of differences? Love the new series, more informative, gets into the nitty gritty of the ship.

"It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it." I've seen much, much larger yachts that are poorly set up, while this looks to be well thought out. As I said on a tiny house video: anyone can design a 300 square meter house, but a 30 square meter home requires more thought and, specifically, dedication. Looking forward to the next video!

Tristan I have been following you since you took command of AWOL and has been enjoying you videos and nice narrative since the beginning. As I’m residing on the lake of Geneva I might come down and have a beer. I’m a retired officer in the reserve of the royal swedish navy, mine sweeping. Anyway I enjoy your work!

I get the sense that the owner is an adventurer and explorer. I'm expecting one video to feature the submarine!

Love it!👌🏻😃

Brilliant 👏👍✌️

i realy like the yatch design, imagine owning thaat :o

She's a beautiful yacht ❤❤❤

Starlink is the bomb! Luv Luv Luv it... Got it on my boat!

The galley and the laundry are fine! The wine store is large enough to be useful.

Nice little boat!

Love this boat. How about a video explaining what the 4 crew members duties are.

We know what you look like; record the boat. :) :) Love your videos.

Your comment about the limited washer/dryer capacity caught my attention. One washer and dryer for up to 12 people inadequate? US nuclear submarines have one washer and one dryer for 140 crew members.

good video

Great to see you onboarad again Tristan. Nice video about the boat. A question about the galley? I inly saw a microwave oven, no other oven? Looking foward to more videos. Maybe some crew interviews.

That feels like it might be very tight for the crew. What kind of schedule do you work. I presume she isn't home ported near your private residence, so there must be a lot of away time. The life of a sailor has never been easy I guess. Thanks for taking us along.

Just a few things i notice Tristan one you may want to blur out phone numbers you never know whos going to call Ricardo and the worse i notice a unsecured beer in the frig i can secure that for you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 be no trouble at all

The boat looks fantastic. So way did you get back in to captain a vessel

7:53 Twinnings English Breakfast - yup, You have only best supplies

Just read through all the comments - and understand that all will be answered on Sunday - but hope there is "room" for your wife on your boat.

One thing I would love to learn about is the things taken for granted. Like the engine room is cool and I want to see, but what about fresh, gray, and black water systems? If the range is 4500 nautical miles, what about those things that you may need in week 4 being away from port? These are amazing machines but how well do they travel.

Tristan, any idea what type of wood is that down below? Looks like African Mahogany. Fair winds and following seas.

That Grant's scotch whiskey. I would have expected to see top shelf on that vessel...

You might want to check the seal on the fridge.

With only 4 crew how are the roles/responsibilities split? You have a Captain, Engineer, Chef and then the 4th person is deckhand/stew? or chef and engineer are also deckhands?

I’m excited for you. I think being a captain is your calling. Curious if you’re solo or is your wife contracted to be onboard as well. Your both awesome 😎

@1:02 no Gibernator :( Nice tour though!

The wine is right next to the washer? Hope it doesn't get warm with every laundry cycle, it won't be too good. I used to keep wine in a cabinet next to a dishwasher. Brought some friends were over and we opened a bottle, it was terrible. Thought that was weird, tried another one, just as bad. After going through about 10 bottles we concluded the 'dishwasher stock' had a unique taste no matter the brand! lol

I'm starting to like this boat. What is the difference in gross tonnage to AWOL?

👍

You did mention a couple of times that the yacht was not used for charter. On average, how many days per year would the owner and guests be on board? In which areas? Med/Caribbean? Enjoy the experience.

Are we going to ever get to meet the crew?

Why does it roll so much? I note that in your videos? Doesn't it have stabilizers?

I think this boat soon is for sale,Tristan and the owner are designing a new bigger one.... soon to be reveled... 😉

Does the boat have its own dedicated chef? Or does one of the crew pull double duty on the cooking?

She really does roll at anchor 😢

Did you manage to rendezvous with Capt Paul from Loon? I see they were recently in Napoli.

Hello

Capt. Tristan , pls show the correct way to dump the rubbish / food waste at sea ?

@9:13 I see the owner (or someone) is a Grant's man. 🥃

What a simple boat.😅

Have you got a meet the crew video planned I hope

Is the wine storage area down below always kept at 18C max?

and Ricardo is changing his number

Hey skipper, I am really interested to know how you make 4 crew work. I am looking at buying a 27 metre yacht for charter, but having worked for years on bigger boats, if you have 8-10 guests in 4/5 cabins, you need a Captain/Engineer (in your case you are separate) chef, deck hand(s) interior crew etc. With hours of rest etc (a complete fiction in my experience) how can 4 crew take care of 10 guests and the boat is immaculate as they always are? Do you still have your charter and management company?

Are four crew enough when you have a charter? Do you hire a chef when you out on charter? Who tends to the needs of the guests?

Is there scope for a "meet the owner" vlog?

Tristan, is this now your new boat?

Very interesting video. I'm just wondering, a crew of four big enough? That's a lot of work.

What kind of charters would this ship be used for? Would this be used more for scientific expeditions or for leisure cruises?

When are you back at sea ?

nice tour - but I think Ricardo might get upset with you for showing his phone number

I'm curious why you're back at the captains helm. I thought you retired from this line of work when you left awol.
