I got curious about life on a tugboat because I write music and stories for kids. We have a song about a Tugboat Captain (who makes music, of course), and his adventures at sea. I am trying to develop the character and publish more content about him, and your vids give a great view into life on the boat. Nice work.

Yup, gotta make your bones in this career to make it up the line. The best sailors come up the hawse pipe. I did my share of coastal stuff. From the arctic to bay of Fundy. Good luck, stay safe.

You'll be on a towboat deck hands on towboats generally work alot more on deck than a tugboat deck hands with constant tow work and all. I've decked on both and have been a Captain on both throughout the years. You'll know if you can do it after a few hitches and you'll know if you want to do it for a living after a year or so.

Is your tug based in Norfolk? I spent alot of time on the waters of Norfolk on R/V's for Old Dominion University, and the local wastewater authority. Great vids. Are you going for your mate's licenses?

@JakeFilarski 3 жыл бұрын

The company is based in Norfolk but I rarely work there. I’m mostly in New York, and down south around Charleston and Florida. I currently hold a mates license but not exactly sure what the future holds for me at the moment.

Yeah I agree! Check out some of my other tugboat videos that have more of that in there. I just had a bunch of clips from one hitch that I wanted to use so this is what I came up with. I will have another video coming out soon that has more information on this.

What’s the difference in schedules between tug boats? What determines if your on the sea for weeks on end compared to a daily 12 hour shift and going home? What jobs do what?
