Superyacht Deckhand Duties Series: Washing Down

more contents like this pls

Hi, my name is Alexander Pierce I am currently located in south Africa after circumstance brought me here from the united states. I was wondering if I could send you my CV and possibly get some advice or a connection for work. I've completed my (S.T.C.W) courses jet ski, powerboat level two and tender ops, vhf radio course as well as a MCA Yacht rating approved course and deckhand course. I lost the person that l loved back in the states and was not in a good place and thought that a massive relocation and adventure would be good for the soul so that's why I have spent the last three months in Cape town, SA studying. For as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by the vastness of the ocean and the allure of distant shores. The idea of waking up in a new port, surrounded by azure waters and stunning landscapes, has always been a dream of mine. And now, that dream is becoming a reality!

I love this job❤

The problem with these yachts is that we don't have a place to work there because the British rule everything; very pointless these videos 97% of these videos are only with a British crew, so yeah, not a place for our others.

Thia is very nice

Hi Matthew. question about your great video. Do you not wash the teak with a soft brush?

Why you don’t use pressure washer?

Hi sir I really want to do yachting next year after school i want to ask you,what is the chance they will accept an 18 year old? Super excited for next year

Always nice watching someone working 💪

Hello Captain, I'm about to start a career as deckhand on a 38 meter yatch. May I know how many deckhands are there usually? I'm from cruise ship thus I'm wondering?

It's called wash down because you start from the top!

Hey there.. I'm 32 and I've decided I'd like a diff career path. I'm currently working in construction. Just wondering whether you think I would struggle to find work due to me being older than everyone else?

What kind of chamois do you use? Also, how do you take care of them?

So interesting keep up sir.
I have Stcw basis training how to get job here any help

Passing your channel for everyone in the crew house in Antibes. They are amazed with the content. Thank you for all the support always

Hey! I am 19 and am about to do my STCW course and get my ENG1 medical certificate to hopefully work on a superyatch. However i am nervous i do not have enough to be accepted a job. My family are from France and live in Antibes, my uncle is a captain (worked his way up from a deckhand) and both my parents have done years of work on superyatchs when they were younger and so have majority of people in my family. I live and have been brought up in England though so i have not been exposed to this area of life as much but it still has always been a thing i planned on doing. i finished A-levels and then since then me and my boyfriend have established a cleaning and housekeeping company, we worked at a wedding venue every day throughout the summer with no days off, just us two maintaining a whole hotel, making sure it was perfect for every wedding. As well as cleaning restaurants, houses etc. some days we would be at the wedding venue for 8 hours and then go straight to clean a restaurant, so we’re used to long hard days. But i have never drove a speedboat and have no other experience that i think would be valid

Hii it's possible to Indian crew to get job on yatch as laundry steward

Inquiry: Could you be hearing some music while doing this? Could it be hear-through earphones or noise-canceling ones? Are there any reasons why you might specifically not want to hear music? Thanks! Great video

Which model vessel are you working on? I see the neighbor is a Sirena 64, I am very familiar with those vessels

Ehy Matt, just a quick update, after seeing your videos at the end of March I did my STCW on April, dockwalked and did exactly what you adviced in your videos and I got a Deckhand role on a 42 meter M/Y private/charter, we've had some problems with the crew so I've been without the first officer for weeks and I've been on my own and I used your videos so many times to understand what to do 😁 the first officer now is expecting me to washdown this yacht in one working day but if I even have to scrub the Teak with soap I'm too slow, hope to become faster soon

Do you regular water or does your water go through your filter system? Would also love to see a video how you clean sides of vessel hanging over the side?

Seems like pointless tasks tbh. Was clean before anyway lol

Well! It's time to repeat all lessons

Hi! Great video thank you! Ill be doing my basic course next month in Cyprus and then hopefully soon off i will go somewhere who would take me :) really excited and looking forward!

i’m only 14 but i really want to work as a deck hand to captain some day on a charter super yacht and these videos are very enjoyable so thankyou matthew! :]

Absolutely my favorite new series! Any info on getting water spots off of glass? Keep up the great info!

Hi even mates do deck washing is it
I thought only deckhands do it

nice

How and where do you dispose of the dirty/soapy water?

Hi there thank you for all your great video. I was wondering if you could do a video after washing the boat, how to clean ( micro fiber, chamois, etc...) to make sure they stay in a perfect condition

Hi Mathew. I actually met you briefly Loano in October 2019.
My partner and I worked as the deck/engineer and Cook/stew on MY Samba 35m Princess.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the tips, tricks and experience you share in your channel.

Can You make a video on receiving tips ? How much you can roughly make on tips working on super yachts

Very interesting to get a quick view of some deckhand duties. I'll be doing my deckhand course next month and looking forward to duties like this.

"Washdown" is a Navy thing. It's because you start at the top and work your way down.

Already watch this video at least 5 times

Thank you for the video this is the job I want to start off doing and work my way up. Can u please do a video on the sleeping quarters for the deck hands

Not a very glamorous job! Well explained.

Why don't own ceramic coat the boat to keep it clean and easier to maintain as in the automotive industry?

Goo day from India!
It was very helpful. Thank you

awesome video... I have 1 question... how many times a week you have to clean the yacht? everyday?
