I own an av company that does Crestron and Savant systems and you did a great job with explaining how an AV system is updated!!! Good job. Love the vlogs!!

[user]

Thanks for another great Q&A. Appreciate they way you're not dismissive about topics you might think are obvious; rather, you take time to explain answers with patience and respect. Also appreciate the b-roll footage to break things up a little. Well done.

[MrGolferguy]

Funny how you talked about all your expenses being covered to & from home & also super yachts refueling @ sea… yet I still remember someone running out of fuel not to long ago 🤔🙄😜 cheers 🥃🍻 keep up the great videos 🇨🇦

[frankv]

Loved the video and the effort put in to the video, by adding timelines of what topic you speak about.
Great video, as always!

While the boat I was on was not a Super Yacht, we had a great fuel system. In the morning we transfer an estimate of what is needed for the day, run it through the fuel polishing system. From there it went into the day tank. The polishing system really works when you get fuel from places that might have dodgy fuel. With a total of 5000 gallons we could quite a few days chasing marlin and tuna. Great site, your are one of the few that, can explain boats and systems that keep them going. On anchor having crew that can keep watch to make sure the anchor is not dragging.

Thrilled to have discovered your channel. I spent my younger years working the docks on Lake Michigan. For a period of time an older gent had a 93’ Broward there that he ran alone quite often. Granted, the same dock, rarely traveled other places but regardless ran the boat alone. He brought it back from Nassau with 3 crew ( a trip i was invited to join and to my eternal regret turned down). Love following the industry and I’m in awe of the incredible craftsmanship and all that goes into making these yachts as incredible as they are. Keep up the good work.

Brilliant thanks for sharing these insights. Very very interesting. It’s no wonder the insane cost of operating these boats when you start taking in to account all of the costs. It’s like the modern day equivalent of running a palace!

Hello from Vancouver 🇨🇦

I just found your channel due to war in Ukraine. I’m very impressed with your knowledge about everything under the sun.

Answering questions in this video regarding AV equipment was spot on. I’m a retired tech and I really am interested in electronics on large vessels. Thanks for you time and effort you put into each video.

[johngauntlett]

When you do the q&a's they're always informative.

[Matlock]

Your road tripping skills are amazing. I've driven 1650 km in one day, exactly once in my lifetime...never again!!

If you change the timestamp for "Intro" in the description from 0:05 to 0:00, it will show the time stamps imbedded within the slide bar.

You make all your videos fun to watch and a joy to learn. Thank you for putting in the time!

[shanealexander]

I'm never disappointed watching these videos. Great quality and very informative. Two thumbs way up 👍🏽👍🏽

[scotttalksmoney]

Awesome video, as always! The road trip was fun to watch, too.

I handled an 84’ Princess motor yacht with my ex. Admittedly, it did feel that we were at our absolute max for size without additional crew, but it didn’t feel dangerous to me. The boat had bow and stern thrusters which made things easier.

[robertarntson]

New to the channel, but I’ve really enjoyed how informative your videos are! Thanks! A few questions if I may ask:

As solar panels become more and more efficient in their energy output capabilities, do you feel there’s a possibility for hybrid or even fully solar powered yachts in the near future?

When an owner sells a super yacht, does the new owner buy out the contracts of the crew or do they generally start from scratch and hire all new people?

Thanks for all the great content!

[Ketsuafureskit]

I will never own or be on board a superyacht, yet I find your videos strangely alluring, i guess it is the pedagogical approach that appeals to me.

[caribbeanaviator]

Same thing with brand new aircraft, there is a period of the first few flight hours where you will have to conduct maintenance here and there.
Back when I was flying corporate jets, I lost an engine due to oil pressure on the first month of operations. Of course, since everything was under warranty it was replaced for another brand new engine but as you can imagine, it took some convincing so that the owner would climb aboard again.

[HPSCH]

Already saw your new car absolutely beautiful looking forward to seeing it unwrapped anyhow as always this video was very informative, thank you
