The Ultimate Tug Boats Working Video !

Tug Boats working is brought to you by Alfred Montaner.This video is a culmination of multiple videos in which he found a way to eventually get on a tug boat on the Miami River.

Norman and Susan Hempstead had invited him to Hempstead Marine Inc to board the Jean Ruth and Atlas tugs.

The Miami River is one of the busiest and tightest rivers to tow cargo ships in and out from.Take a look at this multi angle filmed experience and enjoy every single perspective Alfred had.

I’m a long time commercial Towboat captain, I have worked most every kind of job from large tows on the Mississippi River to harbor/fleet work and bunkering. What you have filmed here is nuts! Huge respect to those guys for handling those ships in such tight quarters, wow! Just amazing. Most ship assist work I have seen seems pretty boring, but these guys….🤯🤯🤯🤯

We had a roofing sales guy come to our house. He did this for 12 yrs. He was telling us stuff and I LOVE learning new stuff, so had to Google. THIS IS SO AWESOME! Thank you so much for sharing! I am 8 mins in and am absolutely intrigued! So amazing.

Absolutely, this is a first of it's kind video with tugs guiding a hugh ship...you did justice to the shots with your bare minimum camera. You actually jumped ships to give the viewers the best possible perspectives... great job my friend. I never knew before now that that back tug was steering the behemoth!
Thanks so much for this unique video. 👍👍🇬🇾

You do a good job with this video. As a rule conversations with the captain before departure will let you understand when questions are appropriate and when silence would be appreciated. These tug captains take a stressful job and make it look so routine! Voice over and taking your conversation off the bridge is definitely appropriate and I’m sure appreciated by the captain. Overall you did a great job while filming. Your son gets a thumbs up.

I am actually on a kirby inland marine river boat right now as an engineer. I find your enthusiasm for the industry cool, we get to see alot of neat and amazing things out here on the water. I never realized how far you could drive a tow boat in this country until i came out here. It is wild

Those guys are off the hook unbelievable absolutely no room for a mistake at all hats off to them boys

Alfred, I saw your Miami river tugs in the thunderstorms a few days ago. I can't get enough of the river tugs! I spend part of the year in Delray beach, I can't wait to get down to the Miami river and see these places in person. Thanks for the combination of information and entertainment!

awesome video! it's so cool to see these powerful boats in action. If I didn't already have my dream job as a mechanical engineer, I would definitely be a tugboat operator.

This was so cool. My 2nd graders learned about the homophone, toe/tow, today. This was the perfect way to show them what "tow" means. The enthusiasm was delightful. Thanks for sharing this cool perspective. I was so excited for you when the one captain said they wanted to take you out, I cheered! Thank you!

I've always been fascinated by tug boats too. I also have a thing for the sound monster diesel engines working. One or those tugs would have a next level whiskey throttle sound! Cool video Alfred!

[bobjohnson]

As always, great content. But I especially loved this one. Thank you for the work you do.

Great video!, 12:21 is so ridiculous, love the Detroits on the Atlas paying the bills. The father and son captains are true craftsmen in boat handling.

[benmangum]

Man you did a awesome doc. on the tugs I always was amazed with tugboats great job !!!!

[nammie]

Thats some tug piloting. Great to watch. Thanks for posting.

[loganbaileysfunwithtrains]

Wow, I never realized how narrow and congested the Miami river really was. This is like trying to kayak in a swimming pool. A very cool video

[davidcoblentz]

The skill and ease shows how amazing these tug boat pilots are.

[CTK]

I got a new respect for tugboats and the operators of them.

[garybroom]

Fabulous footage man. These guys perform this amazing choreographed dance to get the ships in and out. Unbelievable. If I lived in one of those riverside apartments I'd never get any work done! Envious here in the UK

[KnapfordMaster]

Little tugs moving big ships, just as it was meant to be. Amazing footage!
