If it was James Bond, the tender would have driven into a garage on the yacht where bond would have stepped off whilst buttoning his jacket

Love the Andromeda coverage. It is my favorite Super Yacht! THANKS

This is what makes your channel great. Thank you for showing us the day to day world of these yachts. Much appreciated.

What that needed was another miniature crane on the speedboat to launch and retrieve the kayak in same fashion.

2:32 A tender to leave the tender :D

Not the least interesting part: kayak logistics.

Pretty interesting. The scale of the boat and the operations is crazy. I just can’t imagine having all that happen so I can enjoy a few days on the water. Obviously I’m a pleb.

Hundreds of millions of dollars and that’s the best idea they could come up with? No way they could do that in open water.

For such a big and costly yacht I’m surprised the recover operation is so basic but great video and insight it gives 👍👍👍👍

Watching this made me relive my time in the Navy making lifts on & off ships with my cranes ChiefD

Where is the massive operation recovering the Kayak 😜

Wow, well, 4/5 down, one to go! I want to see that catamaran get loaded. Thanks for catching this one! Cheers, 🍺👍😎

Did you know that those Seven marine outboards are the most powerfull outboards available. They need an oil change Every 50 hours! And they need Special race oil.

That tender looks like a midnight express! It´s a beast of a boat with lots of power. I love this ship man

You really put her size into perspective with this video. She is HUGE!!!! Thanks for the video. Stay safe brother!!

What the heck...I’d be happy with that tender. Thumbs up as always!!!

It would be a dream just to be able to purchase that speed boat.

Q would have never approved of that shitshow.

Definitely my favorite yacht right now. My friend saw it off the coast of Italy a few weeks ago. Awesome videos keep em coming

I prefer the solution on M/Y Yade in the background of video. It has a drive-in tender garage, so you don't need a crane and ten crew to get it in.

Never a dull moment on this channel.

Toy recovery was interesting. Thanks for being there to film it. I guess they have a stand on the bow to anchor it too. I guess the next drone flight would answer that question so when I buy a monster yacht like that and put a toy like that on the bow......... Yeah right! Lol. Fantastic job Sir. Thanks

Some Of These Tenders are like dream boats for us.

That is not a 70’ speed boat it is a 53’ Suenos by HCB

That is the 53 ft suenos model actually.The beam of Andromeda is 59ft and the tender is definitely not as long as it is wide.Link to it hcbyachts.com/suenos/

Love to see the engineering on the lift fixture/ spreader bar frame .... they’re breaking three basic rigging / hoisting rules.

Incredible. I cant wait to see them do U21 while coordinating the two cranes. I heard they had to drain the fuel tanks of u21 every time they lift it out of the water, because of the weight, then fill them back up when they drop it back in the water. Can you confirm that?

That is just so damn cool! What an amazing yacht. Even the tenders are amazing. That is such fascinating footage to watch. I really love this kind of content. Thanks so much for this!!!

Saw Ulysses bring up the Princess motoryacht here in Miami, I bit all my nails off in the process

Very amateurish, had the crew extended the boom of the crane before starting the lift they wouldnt have almost smacked into the side of the ship. How many people did it take to load one boat? I like other yachts that have garage doors on the sides or back of the ship for loading. I am glad these types of worries are above my pay grade.

I believe that’s the 53’ HCB not the big 65’

My younger cousin is a naval architect from University of Michigan. He helped design that boat. He goes around the world teaching new owners how to operate it.

That is just wild,,,, whole bunch of weight/cash dangling in the air. 👍👍

this tender boat is worth about $2 million and it is a boat many would long to have just this the ultimate center console 65 foot boat . perfect for going to the Bahamas from Florida for the day , which is why it was built

Liked video before watching as I know it's gonna be great. Love this channel 👍

Just awesome to see these Deckhand operations. Please do more! Thanks

Four anchor bolts, one on each corner of the tender, would be a better way for recovery. This method shown here, is a way to increase accidents and maintenance costs.

Wow what an effort that is. How many people are involved in this? 10? And that in calm waters. What is the chain of approval to let a boat to water if half the crew is involved in, wearing helmets, safety gear, a canoe, plastic swim platform, etc, etc.

Bond like? He would have jumped the stern and on the 2nd pass landed props up in the beach club . Great channel ⛴️!

Amazing... my goal in life is to own and live on a super yatch. Maybe one day I will build a 1 billion dollar exploration yatch... hard work and determination you couldn't achieve so much.

i remember you saying some of these super yachts were over 300 meters long.An aircraft carrier built and campainged in the 50s and campainged thru the 90s was just over 1000 ft long.do the math.Thats gotta be frickin massive for a private cruiser.

That's how you know that yacht is freaking huge because I thought that boat was like 25 feet long, not 65 feet plus long. Wow.

Would love to watch the big cat being taken aboard as well....

I wonder if the super yacht had to transfer some ballast or fuel to starboard side - the hull didn't lean to port at ALL that I could see, despite the weight that must be.

What bond style. That was slow. Bond would have had the back dropped down, while under speed and powered it right up.

thanks for showing this. really cool

Nice center console, where do you store it? Glad you asked. LOL

Definitely not James Bond style. That must be the new female version with Jane Bond ... always finds the hard, slow and painful way. She will then take another two hours to get her shopping out the boat and another hour getting lost trying to find her cabin because her GPS is upside down.

eSysman love😍 your vids, and your dedication, keep them coming.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

it never. ceases to amaze me what people waste their money on.

Fascinating.

The drive-in, drainable (or pump out if you prefer) garage on Octopus is James Bond style. Paul Allen built a very serious expedition class yacht.

Bet his next ship has the aforementioned “drive-in slip” in the rear, where the tenders, sub and other toys can be easily accessed and stored

Fyi that hcb yacht was the 42 ft siesta . The 65 has 5 seven marine 627 .plus the crane was only a 30 ton one. The 65 load weight is at 75k. The outboard take regular oil motor oil it a base on a ls motor

they picked a good name, everything is huge

If they could pull that off with my Truck-Boat-Truck then we're talkin', Baae-bee!

BETTER MAKE SURE YOU...GET IT RIGHT...BOYS!!!

2:35 There are people working hard and then there are these too enjoying a little kayaking... jk 🤣

Impressive. I think I’d rather stick to the configuration I’ve used in the past for lifting large tenders - just a lot more robust and reliable. Plus, using two cranes for the lift gives you more versatility. And they’ve got the cranes for it (they use both for lifting the monster cat). Could be the cradle layout on the foredeck limits them to a single crane.

I think the tenders should have been thought about more in the design, this is so high and complicated and also the time taken

Too much work for an expensive yacht

Ok, highly impressed! That boat weights 45,000 plus.

4 giant outboard engines seems like some kind of over kill Jeremy Clarkson would do :-)

You get to a point with a yacht where you’re that far from the water you might as well have just got a seaside property with a boat ramp

wonder how long before some one builds a yacht with a well deck LPD style

I saw Andromeda out in the Caribbean last year - photographed it from 2 miles distance with a superzoom camera, then identified it. It belongs to Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook

interesting winch for a luxury ship

Where’s m/y kiss? We were just in Nice with them.

A 3 million dollar tender! Fuck me! Must be nice!

Hey, love the channel. Just a suggestion here...just for fun why don't you do an annual vlog of mega-yachts (90 meters or more) "rumored" or officially for sale currently. Cheers!

53' Suenos

This is all a bit of a flaff for a rather unsexy tender. Rather more impressed with size of anchor. Hello from London ; - )

Wow...just wow...some ppl got it like that

Great capture and very interesting to see actual practical things of such an XXL explorer. Stuff yachting mags don't know, or do not write about (dito many websites) But....it all looks a bit awkward and embarrassing to me...the kayaks, the floating inflatable small pontoon....with wind / waves /current they might not even make an attempt.....must be easier ways to retrieve such a tender, but they will eat up inside space of the ship I think

Crew seemed very green.

It would have been much cooler if there had beeen a hatch in the back of the yacht that the speedboat could have entered.

It's a babushka boat! Do they finish up with a bath toy tug?

What a faff , imagine trying to recover that in a lumpy sea , dangerous and the boat would be smashing into the side of the yacht . At the least it should be lifted via hard points built into the boat and preferably into a garage via a ramp or minimum an overhead garage crane .

Blofeld and Bond are laughing their a$$es off at this. For a Bond style recovery of a tender that size the stern of the Andromeda would open and there would be a roller equipped ramp at the very least for the speedboat to be hauled up and inside.

Where does it stow the bigger 2 storey tender?

Clearly a compromise of engineering. That looks painful. Any swell and that is not happening. The procedure can work but in very limited circumstances. Is there a point when there are just too many toys on board ?

It seems stupid that the chase boat is not equipped with lifting lugs. That would be much better for security.

Great vid thanks

How does one lose a 75 foot tender? I am seriously asking for the rest of us. Please explain.

How does it recover the bigger 2 or 3 deck tender in the back?

James Bond would drive it straight in not muck around for ages with a crane.

That 65ft boat has over 2500 bhp. It's 4 corvette z06 engines lol. Not the new corvette the old c7 z06.

Thank you - I'll stand corrected, having seen the profile, Geoff rohde

Excellant

Looks like they also have a Botnia Targa midships on the port side. Would that be an emergency vessel?

"Bond style"? We have different definitions, LOL. Cool stuff to see though. I wish we could see on deck where that thing goes/fits.

Very interesting process for watching. Haste makes waste. When does it continue?

Ah, isn't that the 53' footer Suenos? The 65' Estrella has 5 engines, not four. But still, it's mad to have a Suenos as a tender. Lovely, but mad. I'm jealous.

It’s a Hydrasport 53 Suenos as the 65 Estrella has 5 outboards.

How do they recover or where do they put the tender boat?

Seems rather short sighted to me, would it not have been better to have had dedicated lifting eyes built into the toy or a submerged hydraulic platform perhaps?

53’ suenos not the larger Estrella?

The yacht looks kinda old how old is it? The exterior doesnt look as fine as some newer yachts like for example dilbar.

Wow! A crane omg

You could have have us a heads up at 5:02 iv got headphones on
