I dated the nanny onboard who was the owners niece. (Back story)New guy on the boat, boss trip in 2 days. Day worked for the boat so I know all the crew. Cap say a few need to know things before they arrive one of them being "don't stare at the nanny and get in the way of them making coffee". Cool, easy. I drove the tender and ran the nanny and kids around basically all day everyday. So the nanny spend a lot of time together and hit it off. She ends up telling me that the mate would stare at her(when she was in a bikini) and make her feel uncomfortable hence the warning from El Capitan. seriously, the mate was a creepy hobbit-like dude .... Nanny and I are like 2 peas in a pod and everyone can see sparks are flying... Boss had no problem with it and actually encouraged me to go for it! But...later I learned the crew didn't like it at all because I was quickly favorited and thrust into personal time with the owners, taking care of different things around one of their houses, building playgrounds for the local hurricane relief effort, the gravy jobs basically. so that didn't do me any favors with my crew. When I was let go I asked: "moving forward what can I do better in the future?" The Captain: "Don't run around with the guests" , while standing beside the relief captain who was his friend of 20 years and started as a deckhand on the very same boat and met his wife onboard years prior... Nanny the Owners and I are still friends to this day, they sold the boat. gg

I spent 25 years on commercial vessels as a chief engineer, usually with only one female on board. I have seen it all but the absolute worst is when the captain is sleeping with the cook. She ends up cooking only to please the captain and gets away with bossing the crew around like the captains proxy. I got so bad one trip that the entire crew actually mutinied until the captain agreed to get rid of her.

I have watched a few videos of yours and have anticipated your 'gun video' and I was extremely satisfied with it.

Also what is it that you do on the yacht?

Great video! I have three questions: 1. How do Captains and Chiefs feel about "Hands-On" owners? Say an owner has taken some Coast Guard Auxiliary sailing classes, and done well and seriously at them, and wants to be an active part of the vessel's operations, not to take over but simply to learn and participate? 2. Is it better working for friendly owners who treat you like their equals, invite you to the Sky Deck after work to watch TV with them, or the more aloof owners who keep to themselves and only treat the crew as paid staff and nothing more? 3. How do crews typically deal with owners/guests who like to practice nudity in the hot tub or spa areas? Thanks so much, and fair winds!
@TrangDB9 4 жыл бұрын
The second question may also apply to a company. Better to keep a certain professional distance and not getting too personally. Also because the employees may tend to lose a certain respect towards their boss. Inviting them to a restaurant once in a while, to show gratitude for their work, is a different story.

I am amused by all these questions about being "mates" with the owners. The crew are "staff". Ask yourself this: when you go to a hotel do you treat the staff at a hotel as friends? Also outside countries like Iran, Iraq, USA etc nudity is not normally a problem with anyone.

My questions didn't get selected for the last video. I'm copying/pasting them again here: Apologies if these have already been asked, but I skimmed through the other Q&A videos and didn't find the answers. 1. Currently, AFAIK, the most advanced propulsion systems are using diesel-electric setups w/ no physical connection to the props. Where do you see propulsion technology for superyachts headed? 1a. Do you think superyachts will eventually go 100% electric? I'm talking about 'real' superyachts that are at least 50 meters LOA. 1b. What about hydrogen? You've probably seen the Aqua concept by Sinot Design. Seems like a good replacement for diesel, but there's no infrastructure. 2. I'm curious about the rotation pay schedule. Am I correct in assuming some positions will pay you year round even if you're NOT working on the yacht? If so, that sounds like the pretty good deal. 3. I understand it can be a nightmare to deal with firearms in various countries. Have you heard of any yachts that keep less lethal solutions on board, e.g., firearms that shoot rubber bullets, tasers, etc.? Thanks. Love the channel. And the 'GT2.'
@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming 4 жыл бұрын
Why would you need infrastructure? The boat is sitting on 2 parts Hydrogen, 1 part Oxygen. Just needs a simple generator to extract the Hydrogen and that's it, free fuel. I have wondered why the mega cargo ships, Warships etc don't run on hydrogen myself, they would never need any fuel, they are sitting in an endless supply of it!
@davidherholdt9579 4 жыл бұрын
I can answer question 2 for you. Positions like Chief Engineer(1) Officer(2) and Captain are mostly the ONLY positions that get rotation options. However, they only earn 25% of their wages when off the vessel. But having said this, when you earn 10k or more per month and then go home for 2 or 3 months, one earns to budget for the time you off because you have NO EXPENSES when you on board...

Q: When coming onboard for the first time does the owner walk around greeting all the crew or is it just the chiefs (captian/1st officer/chief stew) that greet the owner?
@andrecunha142 4 жыл бұрын
from my experience, yes we had like a greeting line up with guests/owners. the same at the end of the charter.

Question for next video: you mentioned the story of the crew member getting friendly with the owners wife. I'm surprised the boss wasn't upset that the entire crew knew and didn't say anything. This brings up a question: what is the typical privacy etiquette on board a yacht? If the crew know the wife, for example, is interacting with a crew member "outside of the job description" are they obligated to tell the owner? What if a quest did something unacceptable, etc? Love the channel!

Question: For larger yachts/ships/vessels do ships use ballast to maintain ship stability to maintain fuel economy? Thanks for your videos.
@blyat7276 2 жыл бұрын
yes they do but not for fuel economy but instead purely for comfort from stability. depending on the size of the yacht of course, ballast liquid could actually be ships fuel, grey (dirty sewage) water, fresh water (for shower, sinks etc), pool's /hot tub's water (when ship is moving they are drained because of stability issues they could cause also they can flow over with the usual movement of the ship) or helicopter's fuel.

When you set sail from 1 country to another say for instance Spain to USA , is there strict rules on food/drink, where you have to bin everything???
@tecwzrd 4 жыл бұрын
He has answered this in another Q&A. Basically if it doesn't leave the ship you are fine most of the time. Most countries are strict about what you bring into their country but don't care what's on the boat.

When you mentioned downtown abbey to explain the bs, I remembered afew years ago I was working in a 5 star hotel and the experience was the same. It was huge culture shock for me having come from corporate where the lines were clearlly not crossed to the hospitality industry where everything was interpersonal and blurred.

Three questions: 1. How do Captains and Chiefs feel about "Hands-On" owners? Say an owner has taken some Coast Guard Auxiliary sailing classes, and done well and seriously at them, and wants to be an active part of the vessel's operations, not to take over but simply to learn and participate? 2. Is it better working for friendly owners who treat you like their equals, invite you to the Sky Deck after work to watch TV with them, or the more aloof owners who keep to themselves and only treat the crew as paid staff and nothing more? 3. How do crews typically deal with owners/guests who like to practice nudity in the hot tub or spa areas?
