£1M Princess V58 - We circumnavigated Mallorca, living onboard with our kids. What could go wrong?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
James tests this Princess V58 and lives onboard whilst circumnavigating Mallorca with his family. Once back at base, James gives the boat his boat-tour treatment going into the nitty-gritty of what is great and what could be improved on this impressive boat.

Brilliant real world run. Knowing the fuel burn would be an interesting number and a look at the engine room is a must. More out on the water videos are always a treat.
Absolutely loved this honest video. Thank you for sharing such a private time with us and giving the bad with the good. Keep them coming.

Along with Nick from Aquaholic, your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I liked after "What could possibly go wrong?" - not enough character in boating videos generally but yours especially (and NIcks) are! Bravo!

Again...spot on …Lovely lovely video those passage video makes the channel so dynamic and you just cant stop watching and you want to know what's next! missed the marina maneuvering clips "going along side and casting off" hope to see them in the next video! explaining the dashboard is great going through the pros & cons of the boat is great showing the plumbing for the waste tank is a bonus. showing the intended passage plan is enlightening and make you relate to it. All in all brilliant please keep them coming stay safe

An interestimg video for a potential boat owner... Just one small point though the actual name of the boat you were on, is "Buenas" ( Spanish and pronounced as BWAY-NAS)meaning "Good"..No wonder there was a little confusion with the port authorities..!! Jajaja
Great video but I would have liked to see more of when you docked and the lifestyle around this type of trip.

Could be wrong but on our motor yacht the two markers on the fuel is not actual and what it thinks, its the Red is your portside tank and green starboard tank level. Love the trip, we have done a few trips to the islands. I would recommend formentera ! We done a few videos of it on the channel

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’m really interested in buying something . But I’m not sure if I’m confident enough in handling it myself . Your a great guy and I’m wondering if you would take us for two weeks on one of your boats just to see if it’s for me and the family . What do you think ? 😂
