Super Yacht docking next to another Super Yacht, Captain's view!!! (Captain's Vlog 68)

Docking Motor Yacht AWOL in Genova (Italy) through the eyes of the Captain

Captain Tristan Mortlock is an award winning Super Yacht Captain with over 15 years experience. He started his yachting career in his teens and now runs one of the most successful charter yachts in the world. Tristan is currently serving on Motor Yacht AWOL, a San Lorenzo SD122, built in 2009. AWOL is a multi award winning yacht and her crew take a lot of pride in their work.

Captain's Vlog is about educating interested parties on what happens onboard a Mega Yacht, Super Yacht and the yachting industry. To share the life of yacht crew and life at sea. The BIG shipyard refits, paint jobs and marine engineering works. To travel some of the worlds most beautiful destinations.

The first owner of the Super Yacht AWOL was non other than Mr Piero Ferrari himself. The wheel house still contains the original Captain's chair with the Ferrari emblem.

I was just accepted for my Masters 150 gt in ladysmith b.c. just want to thank you. Wouldn't have got up the courage to do so if it wasn't for you. Your a real inspiration.

My friend your vlogs are by far the best here in the USA we need such wonderful times with you and crew 👍

I would imagine the Captain was hyper focused just out of the yards. It's called a entertainment video, not a tutorial. He's the one with the four bars on his shoulders.
Aye aye, Captain

Nothing beats calmness when berthing. No shouting and no panic. Awesome.

You’ve got this video making off to a them, keep them coming.

[scarletbegonias]

You weren't kidding, they really do press you in the Med. Outstanding job.

Another great video Tristan! Loving the “Captain’s eye view”. I am not sure how many cameras you have, but I would have loved to see at least one of the following views cut into your view: 1- Barbara picking up and securing a ground line, 2- Your hands operating the controls on wing unit, 3- Whoever was working on the stern passing and securing the stern lines to the dock. This concept has probably moved from vlog to documentary with a film crew, but you have created such an appetite for us viewing more and more of you and your crew’s incredibly interesting world.

Amazing skills captain! Guys from the other yacht didn't trust them! I was sure you're gonna dock on the right side of it, not the left! Respect given!

Music is totally unneeded in this amazing video.

Handling 300+ tons with the precision of a dentist. Kudos!!!

[kevingoza]

You and your crew are so good, Tristian! Great fun to watch!

[benhoskins]

[vulture]

Thank you for showing us how to dock your yacht Captain, amazed that you could get AWOL into such a small space, especially as you have just had the paintwork done - thank goodness for the large bouncy fenders.

[augustine.palmer]

Hats of to you captain your amazing at what you do keep giving us content plzzz

[RobertJohnson-jetx]

Enjoyed the docking. Two videos in one day, outstanding. The crew of Audacia looked very calm with you getting so close 😀.

[Donald_Shaw]

Sweet job docking that mammoth yacht. Great job as always. You make it look so smooth and easy.

[garyartzmd]

They couldn't let you dock on the other side? There was barely enough room there from your angle. Great job captain.
