As a carpenter I estimate 200 gallons of gloss wood varnish went into the refurbishment of this boat, assuming at least 3 hand-rubbed coats to really get the gloss to shine.

You must be the best presenter on KZread! When I see the thumbnails, I always know that this is either a style of boat I like or not. This particular one is not the style of yacht that interests me, but I still like to watch just because I know it will be entertaining. Then, by the end, I find myself liking the yacht because you've done such a great tour!

This is an amazing boat She is 23 years old but she is a real glamourous boat with all that beautiful wood. The space is great, the furniture speaks of an older time with good sized rooms. The staff cabins are very good, nicely finished and the kitchen is modern with that marble. She looks like an old fashioned boat with modern equipment. Nick likes the engine room.. Thanks Nick for finding another interesting boat.

The 'I'll edit that out later' is on par with the mirror wave! Always adds to the natural charm of your videos Nick. Thanks for the tour of this excellent example of a 20+ year boat.

Thanks Nick, I love these older classic boats, they just have that understated class about them whereas the more modern boats tend to be more brash than class.

Knowing that this magnificent boat is floating about on the World's oceans - I find reassuring. Imagine the number of people working in harmony to conceive, construct, fit out (and maintain this yacht for TWENTY THREE YEARS). Look what "we" (humans) are capable of producing. Sure lots of money was involved, but to see the fit and finish EVERYWHERE throughout this yacht is to know money was not the motivator - it was pure craft. Thank you to all involved and Nick for sharing it.

I love seeing boats that look lived in. It's so well mantained but you can tell people have clearly enjoyed staying on that boat.

Wow I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Lovely wood finishes and spacious rooms and the saloon layout is absolutely gorgeous!

Thank you for the tour Nick. Not really my style but not bad at all for a 23 year old yacht. It has been taken care of very well.

LOL...always fun to see you in Ft Lauderdale, which is very close to where my family has traditionally had condo homes.. I have been up the New River many times over the years, as one of my family's favorite activities in Florida has always been the Jungle Queen Riverboat tour. We love looking at the amazing boats and houses, and even enjoy the touristy elements of the small zoo and snack bar...though I am not sure how my fond memories of that match up with the current status of the boat and tour. It is fun to think that since the boat you are on is old enough, perhaps I have even seen it myself or even photographed it on one of my past tours in the 2000s. 😁

🇦🇺 WOW. For a 20 something year old vessel, it stands ahead of its time. Love the internal finish. Thanks Nick. Pity you don’t need a cable gal for your gig 🤣

The more I see high gloss woodwork, the more I like it. It may be a bit harder to keep spotless, but I wouldn't be the one cleaning it! I like all the curves like a Marilyn Monroe on the high seas. Many newer boats can be a bit stark and remember, yachts can be like people, it's not what's on the outside, but what's on the inside.

Yeah I also got "a thing" for this style of split level owners cabin... just looks nice.

What a time warp. Soooooo much timber, not to my taste at all but I'm sure someone would love it. Hasn't window design and technology changed these boats so much. Even in boats with a modern refresh or restoration the small windows especially in the cabins, only portholes effectively, make them so dark by comparison with modern boats which have hull windows and massive salon windows.

Simply lovely superyacht.. Design interior is beutifull and looks like good old times . Beutifull craftsmanship.. .thanks for the Tour Nick..

That's how ya do it - Get the wave in early! You can tell it's the Master cabin, if it has an actual bath 😉 Crew space isn't bad. They could do with a little lounge, perhaps. The helm console looks like something out of Star Trek Next Generation. I approve!

There's some lovely details in that boat, thank you for showing us. 😍 ❤

Nick after watching this video the second time I think you’re not liking this boat because you skipped past or didn’t take the time out to mention how absolutely beautiful the master suite was with all that cherry wood in what appears to be gleaming and beautifully constructed. Now nick let me tell you that this is not something that you rush through! Please nick this could and should have been a better video and I think you have done this boat a disservice because it’s magnificent…okay my grammar isn’t great but you get it. This one has much more detail but now we’ll never know. I’m sure there’s a reason why you ran though this boat but much has been missed I’m pissed off .

Woooow.... now that is IT! That's it! The best boat for the money I've ever seen on your channel or any other. This is the kind of ship I'd be after if I ever had the means (which of course I never will but it's nice to fantasize). Yep this is the one for me.

I love this boat. In fact I love a fair number of these. As soon as you walked in I'm WOW I love it. I seem to be old. I'm always really curious about the background of things. When I looked this boat up it's builders are both Destiny and Delta Marine. Did Delta build this for Destiny? Is Destiny a brand of Delta Marine? The same with the engines: Detroit Diesel used to be made by GM, but now they seem to be owned by MTU. If you look up Detroit Diesel they only make truck engines.

Beautiful boat. Love that style of main deck cabin with the lower level closets and head. If you wanted, it would be relatively simple ($$$) to convert the lower "owner's" cabin in to 2 separate cabins. Hard part is alreadydone with 2 heads. I think I could happily live on this, given the money.

Nice boat but I'd prefer a Fleming 58 for that money. Thank you for the tour as always.

2.5 and around 500k for upgrades should do it!

She's pretty nice, but I'm not big on that decor. Oh well. Better than any yacht I'll ever own

Nice. Just nice. I like the layout - the main deck master is great as is the ensuite however there's a lot of wasted space there for my taste. I reckon it needs a bit of an upgrade - the gloss is full on, the bathrooms could do with a revitalise, the crew space is OLD omg! The space though is impressive; open and airy which is great. Awesome tour as ever, thanks Nick!

A floor plan or map would be handy on these larger boats.

I've seen boats with a similar finish who didn't feel half as "heavy and oppressive" as this one. Still very impressive, but an overhaul would do wonders.

Hi Nick, I’m watching this while drinking a coffee on my sofa watching you tour around this opulent monstrosity, I’m also watching sky Tv in the background with the Water Aid advertisement staling that little Natalia is having to drink filthy water because as the advertisement points out “ they have no choice” somehow the built in refrigerator and compactor next to the twin e suit appears less appealing. I admire you and your obvious love for the subject matter and the total respect and integrity you show in your presentations but sometimes one can’t help wonder about the perverse priorities of the human race.

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but considering that raised pilot house style yachts aren't my preferred you've got to appreciate the amount of boat you get for the money. I like the wood work but for the rest of it it needs taking to Setag Yachts and let them do their magic for a good updating all around. I liked the toy storage racking idea although I would have thought it would have been better to have the tender on top, I don't know perhaps that's just me.

Nickolas: Is that Burl Wood "laminate / panel / or solid? There is some hidden quality details on this one. Ex. engraving on the 2nd owner's suite entrance door.. The space is outstanding! Storage / world class...(if it has some range). [ I always comment on the fly, rather than after seeing your entire video.] What a shame regarding the range. 800 miles won't do for a Super Yacht.

No, same one.

I had bought it in my head by 1:30 .... My Bank Manager said NO 2 seconds later ...

Beautiful except for the fact that I'm not a fan of high gloss on the wood. Not only does it show every single little greasy fingerprint, all the Reflections in the wood inhibit being able to see all the natural elements of the wood. You're not able to view an entire piece all together without having some of it being obstructed by glare from the lights.

I noticed some judder on this and your latest video which I’ve never seen in your high quality productions before. Investigating further is see these latest 2 are rendered in 24fps and all your previous are 25fps. Not sure what you’ve changed in your video production? I’m wondering if you changed the FPS on the camera to avoid lights flickering on the American 60hz power? In which case rendering in 24fps would cause that if you shot in 30 or 60fps (solution would be to shoot in 30 or 60fps and render in 30fps). In Europe (and other 50hz mains countries) shoot in 25 or 50fps and render in 25fps as I’m guessing you normally do and get no judder.

@AQUAHOLIC

Жыл бұрын

I normally shoot in 25fps (I think!)

Жыл бұрын

@@AQUAHOLIC maybe you were shooting in 25fps but somehow your video editing software has been changed to 24fps. That would explain the juddering as it’s having to drop a frame every second. Definitely check your cameras and video editing software are all using the same fps is all I can suggest, and don’t mix different fps in a single video 👍 As I suggested about, the only time to change your settings are if shooting mains powered lights on 60hz when you’d change your whole workflow to 30fps (camera and editing software/render) as it’s divisible by 60 so avoids flicker (just as 25 is divisible by 50hz on European mains power).

It looks a nice boat but it seems it may need money spent on it. Small things, like the storage light, the hydraulics on the flybridge, may indicate a number of potential failures. It would need a very thorough check, including on the engines, before I would risk money.

Wait, is that the New River in Florida or is it a new, as in recently built river in Florida??? Do they build rivers in America?
