I love the 3 camera angles, all synced up perfectly.  Really helps people understand what is being done.  Thanks for posting.

This is exactly the kind of “how to dock” content I think YouTube is missing! Thank you. The views were perfect. I think this helps make people more comfortable with buying these kinds of boats. Appreciate you taking the time to make this.

Old school really. Much respect captain but try a single screw docking a yacht on the Hudson River in New York City. With current.

Shifting in and out of gear that quickly and that often is a great way to destroy the transmission couplers and transmissions

Your how-to-dock videos are very helpful, and you have a very straight-forward way of explaining it as opposed to other YouTubers who are just endlessly waffling. In other words, it is much appreciated!

You are doing it the right way---throttles at idle and use the transmissions only---works everytime---got my training the hard way ---by trial and error, but I will say that operating large excavators( think 40ton) helped me a lot!!! Just as I would do it on my 34 Sea Ray sedan bridge!!!!

nicely done! there should be more old-school docking videos like this out there. really cool 3-view camera shots- from the dock, birdseye and on your hands. great work!

Wow, totally impressive, I couldn't find another video of this nature recorded the way you have.  I have to say not many have the skill set you have with a yacht of this type.  I've watched so many dock this type of yacht and not one has performed as you have.

Don’t shift so quickly you can damage the transmission by not letting it fully go into gear. If you need a minor correction hold the shift just long enough to feel a bump in the props and let go. Not allowing the transmission to fully grab could harm the trans and shift solenoid also

Watching you dock this vessel makes me want to go old school.  You make it look so easy.  What you were doing was very intuitive.  Thx.  another great video.

Excellent video pulling away and docking. Thank you.

He’s done that before !!! Awesome to watch.

I prefer to do a little longer but fewer bursts even if many short bursts would be beneficial for maneuvering. I'm thinking that each time I engage the clutch is one step closer to a big expensive rebuild of the gearboxes and that's something I'd like to take as many years as possible before it needs to be done.

Superb video.   Nice, calm voice and clear explanation of everything.  Probably the best berthing astern video I’ve seen anywhere.

The angles at the end were incredible. I felt like I was watching video game content. Keep it up!

Excellent job, Cap'n! Used to run my grandfather's Viking 58' (1994 same year as this beauty) and you're absolutely correct in stating it's a different beast vs today's boats with thrusters, and joysticks. Like this one, he had twin controls which I actually prefer vs the Palm Beach controls. Her big props and the ridiculous amounts of torque from 1400hp MAN's, very little need for throttle.

Being able to walk her laterally port/starboard into a parallel dock was one of the coolest things I learned from him. Old salts would ask if we had thrusters, and when they found out we didn't, they were rather impressed.

Sure do miss that ol' girl! Something about that view up on the bridge with wind and salt in the air! My current center console just can't measure up to that feeling. Oh well, gotta enjoy what ya got, and hope those PowerBall numbers hit!

I just subscribed to you. You taught me a lot of what I really needed to know. I’m buying my first boat with two engines and it’s very interesting. I mean I have the concept that you’re doing but watching you definitely helps a lot more. Thank you.

This is great, thank you.  I’m usually fine when there is little wind in a similar size boat with a little more windage.  What would be really cool is show the steps of the crew in this case.  When to step off, when and which cleat to tie off midship line, how much line to leave, etc.  My wife has done well learning this process with me but still is unsure without direction.  

My view from bridge helm is limited and rely on her to advise my distance and speed to finger via headset.  She learns by seeing and doing and if there was more about the crew responsibilities would go a long way in boosting both of our confidence.  Sailed for 50 years and am confident docking a sailboat in pretty much any conditions, but this behemoth makes my heart do interesting beats if the wind gets up over 7 or 8 knots off the finger.

Appreciate your videos, thank you.

The aerial view is very helpful. 🇨🇦
