Kudos for you for posting what is clearly an emotional and tragic video. I commend your comment about learning from this, but have a word of caution.

Your comment about us all learning from this is well made, but, I feel, not have any effect for the following reason. When accidents happen, people examine the facts of that particular case and then convince themselves that they would not have taken the same actions. This, however, is missing the point. They generally fail to understand the risks, as you so rightly pointed out, and rely instead on their experience to enable them to take good, safe decisions.

Unfortunately, this is flawed. Anyone interested in marine safety should check out the website for Mario Vittone, an ex USGC rescue diver, now running a marine & helicopter safety consultancy. In particular, his podcast on the topic of experience posted here:

https://www.59-north.com/onthewindpodcast/2014/8/2/59-north-podcast-ret-uscg-rescue-swimmer-mario-vittone

I also worry that we will all think of this as an isolated incident. Sadly, it is more likely indicative of a poor safety culture in the industry.

Having spent over 35 years working in shipbuilding and heavy construction around the world, I have had many challenges dealing with poor embedded safety cultures. I have tried many approaches to deal with this. The one which used to give me greatest feeling of accomplishment was firing people. It took me a while to realize that this didn't impact the culture of those remaining. The legal system in France needs to do whatever to deal with the Captain under French law, but the question is how to address the safety culture of those left in the industry. The SCV code is very detailed in how it expects crew to act, the rules for speed in the anchorage were known, yet the skipper of Vision still chose to ignore them all. What's needed is what is referred-to as "behavioral safety" (getting people to want to behave safely) and has been proven to be the most effective technique. I believe that through his career, that skipper would have been taking risky decisions and not challenged by his superiors, peers and perhaps owners. Just reading the comments from others below about boats speeding through anchorages shows this. I can't count the number of times while sailing miles out to sea and being the stand-on vessel, a large power yacht, trailing a wake the size on an SUV has wizzed by maybe only 100 meters away with no regard for our safety.

The question is, how can we change the safety culture?

I have the utmost respect for you. Your willingness to discuss this tragedy and take steps to help ensure that something similar doesn’t happen again is, in my opinion, the hallmark of a true captain. Thank you.

I’m so confused. How was this a good review of the incident? Nothing was disturbing. I’m a transport attorney (aviation) and saw nothing close to disturbing. Just neglect. Saw no reviews on preventing something similar. Maybe people should see the photos btw
That’s how they learn. Not by talking about it.

I see so many reckless boat operators tearing at high speed through anchorages. We keep a bull horn onboard so we can scream at them to slow down and move away. It's usually smaller boats and jetskis rather than superyachts but a small vessel would have a devastating effect if it hit a swimmer or somebody on a kayak or paddleboard.

At our cottage, we had to put out buoys by the shore because boats would come through at high speeds. We even have two massive stone and concrete docks on either side of us and they would come in past their ends. It was really shallow with huge boulders that you could stand on waist-deep more than 20m from shore, and some boats would pass between those hidden boulders and shore. No boats ever fully crashed, but I bet a few went home with damaged propellers. Our neighbour had to have rocks cleared so he could get his yacht into his marina

Reminds me of the reckless captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship that resulted in deaths & injuries just to impress someone. As the master of any vessel or mode of transportation it is he or she’s #1 responsibly to keep all safe & put one’s bravado aside for the upmost of safe operation. Thanks Tristan for a compassionate review of this tragic totally preventative accident. Both guests & crew of each yacht will remember this sad event for the rest of their lives.

This story both infuriates me and saddens me at the same time. I’m just amazed at how fast he was traveling in the Pershing. Even if he would’ve had a successful pass by, the amount of wake he was throwing would’ve rocked that Princess around and likely injured people on board. I’ve never ever thought of passing a friends boat at anchor while running my Princess at more than idle speed. Thats just complete negligence and the captain will likely get convicted of manslaughter at the least.

"high speed close pass" thats just a term that i feel unfortunately is pretty much synonymous with "hold my beer and watch this".. So much that can go wrong when trying this, and you can have weird effects when 2 boats pass that can catch even experienced captains out..
Actually that could make a good video, stuff like "squat" in shallow water, how boats passing near can be "sucked" together, or a single boat can be pulled towards walls in ports as the props push water out behind and create a "vacuum" further forward..

@Lloyd De Jay II Yes Lloyd, well spoken. We had our share of idiots on pwc on the Gold Coast in Queensland. one of which hit the side of a yacht where a teenage girl was asleep. Both were killed.

3y↑7

Dare I say a PWC/JetSki move..? I'm pretty sure that we can all guess and agree on the Captain's/Skipper's feelings on how those are very often operated. The time to "learn the boat" is not when others(the public) are anywhere near it.

Sad, frustrating, incomprehensible, stupid, idiotic, and unprofessional decision and action that led to a very life-altering event for many, even those that were not involved. One of the hallmarks of being a true professional is knowing when to "stop".

I hope and pray that somehow all that are and were affected by this will find peace.

This breaks my heart. Jake was just a few years older than one of my sons. I see him and know how much of a wonderful life he had in front of him. This incident (not accident) occurred because every decision leading up to it was a bad one. I do not have sympathy for the captain, but I do have some empathy for the incredible grief he must suffer and the ending of his career and a peaceful life. RIP Jake.

Well done, that report must have been very difficult to read, thank you for handling it so professionally.
It would be good to know the result of the trial of Vision's "Captain". This tragic incident should be used as an example in the curricula of Masters' License courses - it is so important to know how to be able to diplomatically handle the unrealistic demands of partying wealthy persons who have no conception of, or regard for, safety at sea and the tragic consequences of defying safety regulations.

@Ken Lee This girl learns from watching other people make mistakes. And I am "sort of" in the business as a Pier Agent with a top rated cruise line company. I just go by the rule of keeping it professional at all times. Be truthful, be fair, because at the end of the day you are responsible for your actions. Saying no to outside influence is ok. It is easier to keep your nose clean than allow it to get dirty.

So true sir, we are told to not become personal with guests on charter yachts as well , and besides drug related incidents and bad decisions made due to pressure after becoming 'FRIENDS' with the guests, some decisions made not from PROFESSIONAL STAND-POINT , these things can impair your professional judgement easily , well said my friend, are you in the marine or similar industry (aviation) by any chance?

Tail end Charlie comment. Hello Capt. Mortlock, firstly many thanks for posting this vid, (and running a terrific YTchannel). What a sorry tale with a fatal ending. My thoughts on this incident Tristan, Pershing’s utilise surface drives, and I suspect by ‘givin’ it the beans’ the skipper likely didn’t have auto trim on, if so and then he hit a manual trim control late, panicked - with a collision speed of 33knts - the bow could have veered wrong direction, the helm correction then coming too late and to no affect. I am a yacht Capt. too and never allow crew to play with guests while on duty/charter. We are on-board solely for their safety and 5 star care. Hopefully this particular skipper is no longer viable for a commercial command position. Finally, sincere condolences to Jake’s family.

Thank you for the presentation. Head injuries are scary. Recovery time is variable and full results may take up to two years to maximum improvement. It is unfortunate the gentleman did not have head protection and the captain did not act responsibility to declare himself incompetent to operate such a large powerful craft. I cringe!

My father had a 5.8 meter boat 60 hp and a basic cabin. Docking at a dock available to the public the approach was slow and no drugs involved on the boat. Two meters from the dock an inebriated man chose to dive towards the boat, fortunately because of the deep bow the man was pushed to the side and thus missed the prop. Everyone around offered their names as witnesses. The owner barred the diver fromsing the dock and from using the resort and not to come back. The RCMP arrested the inebriate with much applause. Oh yes a few if the toughs administered some quick punishment. All in all a good afternoon; the drunk arrested and removed, excitement for all present and relief from boredom, dad continued to pollute the air with his curses, and I, a 12 year old, had much education about handling watercraft, much stressing the meed to watchfor people diving towards us. Great memories from a small Albertan lake - Pine Lake.and pride in dad’s actions.

I saw this yacht with the crushed forequarter in Cannes new port when we were provisioning and thought that it had hit a dock or something like that maybe. I didn't know that it was involved in a fatal accident, and perhaps was impounded whilst inquiries were on going. Sadly, everyone thinks that yachting is all glamour, but for crews it is often very hard work for weeks at a time, with no days off and long hours, no matter what the MCA determine should be hours of rest.

Well done Tristan for sharing the report of the two vessel collision I don't think is was a easy task as there was a fatality onsite.
Its probably quite a common request from chartered guests to ask for such daring ship maneuvering. I've witnessed a nearly similar scenario once back in my youth work experience on a super yacht commercial chartered vessel when a captain pulled a stunt like that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by listening to the report on the skipper of Vision it sounds like he didn't have alot of sea time on that particular vessel at the time. But not only that, not even experience captains would perform maneuvering of that magnitude due to the severity of sudden changes in the environmental condition at that time. A harsh lesson was learned and probably one that would haunt him for years to come and I cannot imagine the severity of his judgment on commercial skippering. It is unfortunate and tragic that a new member of the crew lost his life on board, my condolences goes out to his family and friends in this unforeseen circumstances. Again thankyou Tristan for your time in sharing this report, take care and stay safe ✌😎✌.

Incidents like these remind me of this quote from the late Howard Chapelle, who was a traditional shipbuilder, but his words apply to captains and really anyone else undertaking dangerous work:

On your decision depend the lives and property of men. This is the real responsibility of the men who design and build [or captain] ships. The price of errors in judgement, ignorance, stupidity, or dishonesty on the part of these men can be read in the terse comments in the shipping news: "Lost at sea with all hands." Every naval architect or shipbuilder [or captain] worth his salt, from ancient to modern times, realizes that this is the judgement of a court from which there is no appeal. No excuses will serve the craftsman [or captain] if loss results from his acts.
- Howard I. Chapelle, 1935

Chapelle was considered "old school" when he wrote that in 1935, but it applied then, it applies now, and it will apply forever.

If i'm on a Charter as Capt, there are no beers, or otherwise , until i step foot ashore, and the vessel is moored up and all crew off, and of course it's hard not to get swept up in festivities, you can still mingle if you have time, but always remember if something happens you have to be on top of your game as possible.

Thank you for sharing and I was feeling your emotion watching the video. Terrible tragedy but I struggle to accept describing this using the words accident, this was caused by the horrendous actions of the Captain who was not only breaking speed limits and not keeping sensible distances from other vessels, he was also under the influence of cannabis. Do you know if any charges has been brought against the Captain as this could be considered manslaughter.
My thoughts and condolences go out to Jake and his family for this terrible loss that should never have been allowed to happen.

A Big Pershing with MTU engines ( This boat) and surface drives are made for speed. It is hard to drive a Ferrari slow. Your ego gets really big when you drive anything that is made to go fast. Tristan did a great job with this video.

@Jj Jones i concur

Jj Jones

No ego when ur being paid as a captain my man he’s at work !!!

And your correct about the drives but I guarantee he was trying I soak them with water of the flume from the drives and the difference between this and Ferrari is 88 tonnes . These are amazing machines and I love mine but like anything serious there not toys and people even owners let alone captains have responsibilities. It’s the same as a 747 pilot with people on board trying to do an air show and loop the loop just wouldn’t happen as no one would be that stupid

A question that I cannot clarify, I hope it is not out of place, do you think that someone willing to make a career in the industry and become a yacht captain, could get a job having a tattoo on his elbow? .. Thank you! 🛥

holistic therapist

Generally speaking it's possible however it's a good idea to place a plaster patch over the tattoo or hide it with a long shirt
I boat and i know it's the same in aviation - once you can cover the tattoo up then i am of the professional understanding that it's a non issue

Even though I am not a "captain" I do drive a big boat atleast one day a week. Good to know I am not the only one finding this report nauseating.

Such a sad and tragic thing to happen to a young man on his first day on the job.

Thanks Tristen, spoken like a true captain very sad

How fast do the hydraulics on such large surface drives respond? I imagine it's possible even such an experienced captain didn't have much experience slaloming such a large vessel at speed and proximity where the response latency actually mattered as much as the turn rate.

That was a hard one to watch. I spent a lot of time in the railroad industry where they have a simply massive rule book. New hires are taught that every one of those rules was written in blood and you learn that bad shit happens when folks don’t follow rules. This accident could have been avoided or dramatically less severe if the skipper had just adhered to the slower speed on the pass by and then planned an acceleration after passing by.

A former 1Sgt from years ago used to tell the company during the safety brief for the weekend, stay alert, stay alive. I’m not saying this would have saved the young man’s life, but, it’s a good idea to keep your head on a swivel and be aware of what’s going on around you.

I am absolutely heartbroken to hear about the loss of life. Beyond offering my deepest condolences, I simply have no words.

Truth to what you said. But one must be attentive to the task at had.

I think that the sheer simplicity of steering and negotiating waterways at close quarters to both moored and navigating vessels .
Can make this feel like something anyone can do .
People even sober overestimate their skills .
Only when such tragedies occur do people realise the speed and crowded waterways are dangerous .
