Nick I’ve been watching for a while now but just wanna say it’s so refreshing to see videos of boats with no editing and no obnoxious music, just a genuine person with a genuine interest making funny videos with the jokes left in whilst being educational at the same time. Thank you.

@@AQUAHOLIC Not only kind but more importantly he's RIGHT. One could watch any of your videos and not only be entertained but well informed too no matter what level of boater he/she is. Of course this leads to some repetition like the famous 'little ship feelnig', the 'proverbial good book' or the mirror-waves, but those things are funny. To make it clear: I do not want to 'brownnose' you, I don't know you, there's nothing in it for me, but from time to time praise has to be heaped upon persons... 👍

I’ve never been on a yacht. Never considered owning one. But ever since the KZread algorithm recommended an Aquaholics video I must have watched in excess of 50 yacht tours and owning one now features prominently in my lotto dream wish list. Great content for people of all budgets (and none), maybe one day.

Same here. Being a complete townie, I was totally ignorant of the boating community but thanks to this channel I feel the need to go boating.

I know we keep on saying that, but I cannot shake the feeling, that this would make a great retirement get-out-and-stay-out boat for Marianne and you. You can post a video once a week, first tour the UK, then go across to France and into the rivers down to the med. Must get back to work and stop dreaming. Thank you for the coffee break.

Golly that boat is cavernous on the inside! Raising the helm to that ‘mid flybridge’ position allows for a huge uninterrupted saloon while still giving a more than adequate cockpit. This ticks a LOT of boxes, great find Nick, spot on! 😃👋🏻

My thoughts exactly. What a MASSIVE interior living space!

I love when you show "lived in" boats, and I particularly like the layout of this one. It's cozy, kinda of like a cottage on the sea.

You wouldn’t think this boat is over ten years old, just shows you how well made these Brooms are, well put together boat. Great tour as always

how many miles would it cover say at 7knots?

I was not expecting that 3rd cabin. Looks to be a really nice boat with good use of space and plenty of amenities. As you suggested Nick, looks ideal for the grey nomads to spend some time on her and enjoy her. Indeed would suit more than just the grey nomads.

Brooms build quality really is something else! More of a gentlemans cruiser. They seem much happier taking it chill than going flat out. Makes me miss my Dads Broom 50. Even for a 2001 model it looked modern! Think it had a pair of 660bhp Caterpillars...29 knots with a clean hull. Quite surprising for such a big boat.

Another great video. These aft cabin layouts like the Dale Nelson and the Aquastar are super practical. I love the trademark, "This is... pauses to open and make sure... storage." That's become a bit of a catch phrase in our house.

I can't be the only one who waves back at you everytime you wave in the mirror lol. ;-)

Now _that_ I am very taken with. Broom wasn't a manufacturer I was familiar with before I began watching Aquaholic, but their aft cabin boats are rapidly moving up my fantasy vessel list (A Nordhavn 55 still resides at No.1). Spending a couple of months enjoying the French waterways, then ending up in the Med sounds like an excellent idea. One day ...

I do like theses Broom’s. The aft cabin, and single upper helm leave so much more interior space. Excellent boat

Very similar to the Searay 505. Do you think you could find one of those and review it Nick PLEASE!!!

She is a gorgeous boat. I do like that layout as it gives you so much more space. That single armchair i was expecting you to say Nick you would sit there with a good book. Thank you for showing us around

It's not surprising that a Broom has just swept me off my feet. That's what Brooms are for. As ever , Nice Nick

Your vids re-introduced me more into boats&yachts (didn’t think if it much beforehand) and now I’m a born-again boating lover. -I’m from NorthAmerica & Nicks tours are simply the best, no others can compare!

Two months ago I was into buying a new car. After finding your channel I am into buying a used boat. Cheers from Athens.

Nick your a great presenter & I enjoy watching your videos , after a long day at work. Your very informative & knowledgable person. I find it relaxing just watching your tours.

Lovely place , been many times , as mother in law lives in Paignton. Keep up the great content 👍🏻

That's a great boat for the money, it's vast inside and as always brilliantly explained on the walk through by you, Nick.

Always love the armchair on a yacht!

Got to be my favourite boat so far so much room 3 cabins no need for extra cockpit

As part of your tours, you can really see the stark difference in how various people care for the yachts they own. This one has obviously had a very fastidious owner. Incredible condition for a 2010 boat.

Superb tour as usual! I was thinking it and you said it, a quality boat for retirement; gentle cruising for months end 👍

This boat was my grandfathers, so it’s great to see it again because I’ve got some great memories of it! Also great to see some people applauding the ownership of it, he did take great care of it 😆

Amazing space and quality of workmanship. Very well designed boat with... well ME in mind. Thanks Nick of another great tour. You are the standard for which there is no equal.

Hi Nick. 3 cabins for a 42 ft boat. Like the upper helm and cockpit. Plenty of space in the saloon and galley. Always love a blue hull. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

Thanks, that's another great tour Nick, you have had a great mix of boat tours, well done and thanks for your insight. This could make a great little live aboard or short stay second home on the water, very nice indeed and a great use of space. It looks great and one can see that its been well looked after over the years, its not showing its age at all... Thanks Nick have a great day and looking forward to your next video tour...

Excellent no nonsense reviews with concise information exchange and no waffle. Excellent camera work for a one man band. Really useful videos. Very informative. Really enjoyed your video with John Brennan on our home cruising grounds.

Love the layout and finish of this one…. And so forth

I really like this boat. Thanks Nick

My type of boat/second home. Galley down below!!! Leaving that saloon for living in. I would convert that bunk room into an extended galley space for extended retirement cruising 😎 and the rear stateroom is ideal for extended living/cruising. Nowwwww if only the lottery comes up then I'm all set 😉 cheers Nick, DougT the Mancs pensioner.

That is a beautiful well designed boat. Love the layout.

Nice to see a boat in use! Thanks for the insight Nick, and the owner!

My favorite part was Michael Scott's flat screen TV, haha

Thanks Nick, Great video and love the layout of this.

I've seen so many of your excellent videos now that I'm waiting for the wave 👋, oh, and I always wave back!

And another lovely yacht, toured by the KZread master of yacht videos. Thank you again, Nick, for the amazing tour - as usual. LOL

Great boat! I miss the aft cabin layout that's been replaced in so many boats by the extended cockpit and the articulated swim platform. I suppose it's personal preference but I like the owner's cabin spaciousness and privacy at the sacrifice of the mini beach club stern. A sat dome! What a terrific summer live-aboard. I love it.

Great boat Nick - real world practical cruising - love the engine access for daily checks and a decent size tender - and as previously mentioned lovely condition

i do like boats ( well maintained) in that 10 to 15 year bracket...and this one fits that bill.

Now you’re talking 🙂🇬🇧 Aft cabin, twin diesel on screws is the best way….. probably an age thing, or a miserly outlook….. but you can’t get as much accommodation and living space for the money….. pottering about on a luxury floating caravan, or big crossings 🇬🇧🙂

An excellent boat, good inland or at sea. As always, thanks for a great video Nick.

I like this boat, affordable for a live-onboard. I would change back to a washer instead of extra drink fridge for longer time on it though. Very nice boat and as always a fantastic presentation.

Someone likes their beer and (gin and) tonic. Lovely boat by the way. I've got to say I love river cruising, probably more so than on the sea.

Nick, you forgot to mention range. Could I make it across the channel and through the French canals without refueling. These things are important when I'm commuting to work and dreaming of a life I can't afford. Just joking, fantastic tour as usual.

Excellent boat and excellent video Nick, what i mentioned on another video, for me this is the right way of separate toilet and separate shower

Yes yes yes, now I've warmed to sailing yachts but motors are where it's at 😉. As always, thanks for Grade A content Nick.

Lovely looking boat Nikck! A good clean en d a few upgrades and it's go!

Thank you for the tour Nick. May I please make a suggestion? Before you start filming, have a look in all the cabinets, lockers and what nots. That way you are not invading some privacy. Whoever currently owns this obviously uses it quite a bit and just seemed to have put their bits and pieces away nilly willy where ever they could find a spot. Maybe say the owner has some 'personal bits and pieces' in the cabinet. It's just a suggestion... ;-)

Had Broom and lived on it for five and half years

Aft cabins may not be the sleekest yachts, but they sure do provide a lot of space. If having a quick step down to a hi-lo bathing platform isn't a priority, then an aft cabin boat is a very smart solution! Thanks for the tour!

Another great boat Nick, thanks for sharing - great Vlog :) !
