this is superyacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel so we've got some movements on the yachts motor yacht Garçon
and Halo as you all know if you've been watching the videos they've been
traveling from Antigua in the Caribbean and heading east we believe towards Turkey -
the vessels were effectively detained in Antigua for months as they were known to be owned by Roman
Abramovich -however they left all of a sudden last week and they've made this trip across
the Atlantic -now during that time they've been changing their destinations multiple times but
we've had some some progress m/y Halo actually docked in Iran which is in Algeria and re-fueled
obviously and is back out at sea now heading east again- now motor yacht Garçon however
has not yet stopped and it's very interesting, very impressive as well of this vessel i mean
this is a designed support vessel it's designed to be fast it's designed to be efficient so
it's very impressive Damon Yachting built this vessel- so the the they've covered (as i film this )
they're going between the south of Sicily and Malta in that stretch in the Mediterranean and
i've worked out approximately it's 4 ,200 nautical miles to that point from Antigua
the range of motor yacht Garçon according to the manufacturer's website is 4,500 nautical miles
which is interesting and what else is interesting is the current destination on AIS is Port Said
which is in Egypt -That is the place that yachts or any vessels go that wants to travel through
Suez Canal that's like the preparation area there or the waiting area should i say
but what's interesting is that to get to Port Said from their current location is another
900 nautical miles so that would be almost 5,100 nautical miles which is 600 nautical miles more
than the range of that vessel so what does that tell us -possibly that's not their destination
which is quite likely because they've changed it multiple times already or the vessels got extra
fuel storage tanks on board which is not in the documentation that's part put out for public
consumption i think it's more likely the first one that they're they're just put Port Said in at the
destination and that's not where they're going but it's regardless of that nonetheless is very
impressive range for a vessel of that size 4, 200 nautical miles and they've only got 300 nautical
mile range left now one of the things about smaller yachts like this is on- a larger yacht
like Eclipse they have ballast tanks so as they consume their fuel the vessel starts to
sit higher in the water and it's more buoyant and it has less stability so with a big yacht like
Eclipse they have ballast tanks where they are able to- as they burn their fuel- they're able to
fill the ballast tanks with water and that keeps the vessel at the same height in the water and
all of the buoyancy and everything is is intact right with the vessel this size i
i don't know if this vessel has ballast tanks on board but if it doesn't then
i would imagine the ride will be getting a bit worrying right at this point in time anyway
i'll find out i'll try and find out if you know anything about the these yachts if you
know anything about the design of these yachts please get in touch be interesting to know the
answer to that question- all right so we'll move on now more about Jeff Bezos so as you all know
his yacht was under threat of an "egging" and they moved the vessel in the last few days and they
took a different route and so they didn't have to go under the King's Harbour bridge
so a 500 million dollar yacht took a different (it was towed obviously) and the
masts of the vessel were put on barges and taken along a different route- they actually did go under
the King's Harbour bridge and since then since they got it to their location which i'll put on screen
the ocean co i've wasted no time in setting these masks- i believe it's called "setting the mast" which
is fitting the mass to the vessel and you can see from these videos here that
was sent in by subscriber -i'll put his name on the screen -that the you can see the forward mast
has a lot of electrical stuff on there has the radar antennas and it also has the VSat domes for
internet and things like that so a lot of wiring to go on there after those masks are put in place -
i believe at the time of filming this video that all 3 masks are
now in place- i think i have a photo actually i'll put it on screen if i do - so what's next for this
boat ? well the next thing i would imagine will be sea trials i mean obviously the once they
finished wiring up all of this equipment the radar antennas and stuff like that then they'll have to
go out for sea trials so i would imagine that's not that far from from now but we'll find out
soon enough right -so one other thing is in the last video right at the end of the video
if you watched the end you'll have seen this Y720 was seen leaving it was going out to sea i put
in a breaking news thing on that one because we believed at the time that the vessel was finally
leaving but i i also had a photograph in from the same person that sent me the video of
Jeff Bezos's yacht and he said the boat is back at the shipyard so they must have gone out for
sea trials or some other testing or something like that so the vessel is still at the shipyard
anyway we'll move on to the next story we have another yacht fire
so this one is a 33 meter or 108 foot motor yacht named motor yacht "Good Vibes" unfortunate name now right
so this caught fire on the 3rd of august and it was in a location in Spain called
s Freias and the this yacht was according to Boat International a very popular charter yacht
it's reported that the vessel caught fire in the engine room
and they were not able to put out the fire now the vessel at the time had the owner on board
plus guests so what happened is they transferred the guests to another yacht that was in the area
and then the owner and the captain stayed on board while they waited for assistance.
now i found this a bit odd really they waited for "salvamento marino" to come and toe the vessel
the vessel was towed into the port so that the firefighters could attack the fire on it which i
i just found that a bit strange that they would do that because it risks other vessels in the
in the port right i believe they weren't able to put out the fire and later on the vessel
capsized and the there is some footage online if the vessel capsized next to a tanker or a cargo
vessel of some sort- i just find it very strange that they would actually tow it into a into a
port where there was people and other vessels around very strange anyway that's an unfortunate
incident there and that's a 33 meter yacht so yeah and apparently full of people at the time
all right so we'll move on to the last story this is more about motor yacht A
-so we reported in a recent video that the vessel had been seen in a place called the
world in Dubai which is a man-made archipelago of in the in the sort of layout of the world
you know all the different countries each island represents a different country
and we were able to track the vessel there because of their tenders so the tenders of
of the yacht were broadcast in the AIS and so we were able to track them and we could see the
tenders going back and forth to the port also the limo is in the water which is the one that
they use for the owners so it's it seems that the owner may have been on board most likely
only other reason why they would move from being laid up to a place like that would
be because the owner's on board the vessel was seen actually i wasn't able to confirm it until
yesterday when a subscriber sent in a video of both vessels Ocean Victory on the left there
and motor yacht A on the right -Unfortunately he was too far away to be able to see if they're'
flying a flag- i suspect that they're not -not long after this video was shot the yacht left and
it was later seen back up by Raz Al Keimer but at anchor so i think it's more likely that the
vessels not reflect yet and that they just they've got permission to be able to travel back and
forth along that stretch of water but yeah very interesting that the yacht is is moving about now
i haven't been able to find any information about them being re-registered anywhere
so far all right i'm going to leave it there if you've got any information about any of the
