Irelandscapes | Superyacht Scout at Belfast Harbour - Brief Technical Analysis @Irelandscapes | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
A RARE AND WELCOME SIGHT
This is the first superyacht we have taken a close up look at in Belfast Harbour. Most are usually moored at sea, further East in Belfast Lough, off the City Of Bangor. So this was a great opportunity to get a closer look at one of these amazing vessels.
The discreet owner and his partner are philanthropists and animal lovers. That would make them very popular here in N Ireland where pet ownership and concern for animals is very high. The ship itself is designed with the owners' dogs very much in mind.
SECRECY
We normally like to do a brief interview with a working, hands member of crew on a boat or ship. However, this was not possible as the S African second officer from Durban advised us that he was sworn to secrecy and therefore could not discuss any of his seafaring career to date. S Africa exports quite a lot of young people as private ship's crew - some are working on this yacht. These are the post Apartheid, pro-diversity generation making their mark on the high seas.
'WHO GOES THERE?!'
Alas beautiful Scout was fenced off portside with event wire screens normally seen at concerts - which made filming a little more difficult. This was possibly due to a June incident (linked below) in port at Cork which must have been a traumatic experience for the young crew? Let's hope they recover from this incident. Perhaps the days of the 3 shift watch and dedicated maritime security operators may return to the world of superyachts visiting Westerly shores?

COME BACK SOON!
Bon voyage to James Berwind, Kevin Clark and crew when they depart Belfast. Their Yacht really is a fabulous modern reminder of those glamorous and tech laden early Bond films of master writer Ian Fleming. Perhaps we'll get to film this yacht at sea next time...
