Proud of our Dutch boat builder Contest who has been building beautiful ships for decades. Incidentally, all Contest boats are double hulled and therefore condensation-free and very strong. I've been enjoying my Contest for years and don't want anything else.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a scheduled passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur that was shot down on 17 July 2014 while flying over eastern Ukraine. All 283 passengers and 15 crew were killed. Igor Ivanovich (Garik) Sukachov - a proud owner of this boat, is a strong supporter of occupation and war in Donbas, which led, among other things, to this mass murder (68% of the passengers were Dutch). So.... it is ok for a Dutch company to provide luxury goods to the supporter of this crime? Or is it "just business, nothing personal"? Is it "money doesn't smell"? Still a proud Dutchman?

Whether you like sailing yachts or not, the outstanding quality is more than obvious. Awesome tour, Nick!

I was very surprised when I saw the owner’s name on the plate and it turnes out to be russian old-school rock musician Garik Sukachev! And then I was almost equally surprised to learn that he owns a custom made matching Bentley :) Very nice Mr. Sukachev!👌

What a beautiful sailing yacht, the craftsmanship is 2nd to none… thanks Nick for sharing!

What an absolutely fresh design and insanely beautiful craftsmanship. This feels like a totally bespoke boat and its so nice to see something so original.

Your editing is fantastic. I really like how you were able to smoothly transition from the men walking down the steps to showing your sponsors right before walking up the stairs yourself. Such a gorgeous, gorgeous boat. I could tell you greatly enjoyed this tour and that enthusiasm came through with this. As always, thank you for showing us high end boating!

Im not usually into sailing yachts but oh my, this yacht is beautiful

I can almost feel you itching to say "More storage" and open some cupboards and lockers. What a fantastic boat. You can see where the big price tag comes from.

Wow! I was about to pass by without watching the video as soon as I noticed it was a sailboat. I am very glad that I decided to do otherwise. I never imagined that I would be seeing a boat with Bentley materials, workmanship, and quality. Thank you for sharing and continuing to bring content to us of all types!

Imagine that, a beautiful red Bentley with matching Yacht...wowser!

Great tour Nick..thanks. what I like the most is the combination of the colors. Working with red is difficult, however the transition to wood and to the chocolate floor..not the mention the details thru out the entire boat. Excellent color matching.

An exquisite boat indeed. Thanks once again for the tour Nick. Hope you're having a restful Sunday.

Stunning yacht interior that shows what can be achieved with master craftsman. One thing I did note with a wry smile was as more of the big motor yachts have moved to have their crew accommodation up to or close to the owner & guest accommodation level. On this yacht their is a distinct difference between the them!

Wow, just wow, also love the tall ship in the background

Very pretty yacht. I love the round chairs in the salon. Thank you Nick. Keep bringing us such awesome yachts.

And thank you Nick for this very nice The Contest 59CS Bentley Edition a very nice sailboat with a lot of space I like the flush deck and the hydrolic system on board good when you not very experienced sailer like me a great show from you again Nick I can hardly wait what you will bring us coming week thanks again

You're very welcome

I keep thinking that you’ve found another gem and wonder how you’ll outdo it, and then you find something like this. Just fantastic. Thanks for the great tour.

That really is something special. They say money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy a yacht like this which is pretty close!

This is one of my favorites. Beautiful lines, colors. Definitely one I would spend more time waxing then sailing. If it got scratched I'd have to sell it.

A very beautiful yacht with some great craftsmanship and finishes. I like how you can completely furl and unfurl the sails just at the touch of a button very ingenious. Great tour as always, thankyou Nick.

Nick , A paint shop painted my 1981 Honda Prelude with a Rolls Royce Blue gray color . It got the attention of the Honda dealer . I added Italian mag wheels with Wide Pirelli tires a size larger . I had the Trunk done in a Color scheme Carpet to inhance the Cars paint scheme

I guess you know you've made it in life when your yacht is matched to your Bentley. Almost like having your stairs built by a luxury yacht carpenter... To be honest I was expecting to to be a completely taste-free zone but was pleasantly surprised how restrained it was!

There is a contest 45cs called Sophie from Southampton in royal quays. Marina really neat Yatch

Using words like wrought Nick, you are getting posh, great tour as always, saiing mono hulls not my thing, but a lovely boat, wrought perfectly dare i say.

That is so tastefully done.Kudos to the owners and designers,not to mention the craftsman who assembled it.Wow.Thank you to them,and you of course,for sharing such a beautiful ship.

Global reach in style and comfort! Magnificent!

WOW ! Beautiful sailing yacht . Love the design, layout & luxury "Bentley" finishes . Must have taken a lot of self control to hold back opening doors . Mark (Toronto) 👍💙

So this is what you can afford when you're a successful chansonnier in Russia. Impressive. Thanks for the tour, Nick!

What a lovely craft. Contest or Discovery 🤔. The stitching on your E400 is nearly as good 😜

A lovely sailing boat and you can definitely see the Bentley design element which is very pleasant and very nice to look at. Thanks Nick!

The one sense that is obviously sadly missing from these tours is the luxurious smell. All that quality wood and leather . Awesome 👏

Just thunking of what it would be like to sleep on passage on this yacht. Like I see some videos of people crossing oceans in their small little 30 ft sailboat and they sleep on the couch with a net on the other side 😂. Meanwhile these people have an entire bed the size of one in a hotel, i think thats so awesome!

This boat is just perfectly exquisite. The fit finishes inside for such a low price is rather interesting. It sure seems like the yacht should be another M more.

Had the pleasure of taking a tour. Favorite at the Southampton Boat show last year.

What an absolutely stunning vessel! WOW... The detail and craftsmanship that has gone into that interior is breathtaking!

Great, now I've got a boat AND a Bentley on my wish list!

Completely stunning! Alas a nice dream.

Feels like Bentley did the minimal amount of work to have their name on the boat. They picked some colors. Wrapped things in leather and did some "fancy" stitching. The rest of the boat was built by the main company.

Like a mini Dubois masterpiece, you should do a series about the brothers and their magnificent creations although most of them are a little bit bigger and more expensive than the standard Aquaholic yachts. You have done some big motor yachts bordering on super yacht so why not...

Hey Nick wow it's crazy cool that you could single hand a yacht that size and I love the leather I'll bet it smells lovely inside and then we see a snapshot of the car with the same leather wowsers, have a great Sunday bud

Really liking my yachts lately , roomy , ability to cross oceans with all the relative comforts of home .

She’s just wow! But give me 4 wheels on this and we got a deal! Lovely yacht Nick, would never see this if it weren’t for you! Cheers!

Something special indeed, Nick. Somewhat different to the Contessa 32 I learnt to sail on. You need to go home and open some cupboards to relax now.

Awesome yacht Nick,that Bentley style ,amazing,hey stay safe,

This is a proper yacht.

Déclic socks Nick; they have been my sole (pardon the pun) sock choice since 2007! Suits the Bentley fit-out.

Love the bar area with two seats and space for the whiskey. Perfection 💯

Never mind the sailing gin palaces, what we need is a trip round the ship rigged two master in the background. It may not have the luxury but is a true sailing vessel.

Do more sailing yatchs!

Great video Nick. I dont know what to say about this boat, except from WOW. WOW. WOW Never ever have i seen so much style and class put in to a sail boat.

A boat to match your car. Clever. wouldn't mind being his guest on a trip.

It isn't the nicest looking sail boat but it seems quite practical. Thanks for featuring sail boats!

Fantastic Sailing Yacht. !!!! Thanks for showing this Boat to us Nick. .I had a Classic car painted by a Jaguar dealer once . They did a great job for me. .

I'm going out on a limb here and saying just because aspects of this yacht match the owner's Bentley, doesn't actually mean a lot to me. Plus I've always had a problem with the pinky-red brown colour combination. I think you've shown us far more interesting yachts than this one, as lovely as it is ..

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I wholeheartedly agree with you. A touch too garish for my tastes but extremely well executed by Bentley and Contest. That price tag though...

Bentley and Boats! What's not to love!

My parents used to own a contest, just stunning boats all around. Nice to see soe of the known features. Great vid thanks

Simply fabulous

That’s a stunner

2.1 mill? Right, I’m saving up!! Should have that by, um, stardate 3150!!😎

Maggie the Baggie is swanking it on this sailboat. Natural lighting is amazing! I never know how to feel about a sailing boat: I lack the sewing and splicing and other roping skills. I'd just be a poseur as an owner of this item. I can hear a club member from years ago muttering about 'stink pots.'

Gorgeous yacht stunning

Stunning mix of materials and lighting. Just gorgeous!

I think we might just have seen Smuugler's Blues 3.5? You kept that very quiet Nick!

Clearly built for someone that’s not expecting many guests

Absolutely stunning

Wow! Very special boat. So true on the Bentley quality through out. Stunning.

Stunning . . .

For a sailboat it is stunningly beautiful inside and out, the rigging is my kind of affair automagic, lol... the leather work is brilliantly woven throughout. I don't say this lightly, she absolutely stunning all around. Have a great week Nick...

Wow, this is absolutely beautiful!

Quiet quality indeed. Lovely boat. You were itching to open those cupboards thanks for the tour!

Beautiful boat. I can almost feel myself saying "James... the Bahamas" 😬

Hi Nick. Pleased the owner let you tour this yacht. Would be a global cruiser. Cool boat thanks 😊

That’s absolutely on a different level

Hi Nick very impressive , you would have to be very nimble to get in and out of that crew cabin when you under sail . Unless your on good terms with the those in the guest cabin . 🤣👍👍👍

Pretty boat

Its great to see a few Yachts in the real sense of the word, not that I don't like luxuries cruisers, but isn't it a dream to have something that can be crewed and the owner travel worldwide with total luxury? 🙂 Maybe its just my dream, but I very much enjoy watching AQUAHOLIC to do just that... fulfill my dreams.

Nice looking boat. Thanks for the video. Hope you're having a great weekend.

Nice Job.

Now that's an outstanding boat. Beautiful customisation indeed. Seems you can have money and taste (just kidding). The colours work really well. Lucky owner.
