We jump aboard a 5,400HP Sydney Harbour tug to meet the crew who help move giant tankers, cruise ships and other floating apartment blocks through one of the busiest waterways in the world. With twin Caterpillar V12 engines, 360-degree azimuth drives and enough grunt to bully an oil tanker into place, this is about as far from your average trailer boat as it gets. There’s no live bait tank. No outriggers. But it still might just be one of the best tugs of our lives.
