“Suffice to say they’re out” what a great lady.

The three Amigos having a wonderful time, brilliant

Days like that are why we boat Nick. Makes the cost's, the repairs, the often dodgy weather, fade from memory... You don't just do boat reviews, you share a bit of your life and your contagious passion and enthusiasm for what you do with us too Nick. Hope you're okay. Cannes done now, Southampton next no doubt. Be well 👍🛥

Thanks for sharing yet another relaxing day spent as well as can be. Long may you reign as the most wonderful companion to my morning coffee, Nick.

This was like the taste of a home grown tomato - nothing compares to that bought! The flavour of being on the water, the unexpected companionship of friends and the sociability of those one passes by on the river. Smugglers was as ever perfect in her nature environment and as you put it just ‘Bliss’. Thank you for taking us along.

Can’t wait for the spring 2024 🙂

Thank you for the great video. Wonderful escapism, I look forward to every one of these type of videos. Whatever your trials and tribulations Mr Aqua, you're always a treasure. Glad you didn't sell the boat! Keep boating, and we're with you always. 😊

Thank you very much!

The oldest paddle steamer operating in the UK Nick is the “Waverley” which operates on a number of routes along the Clyde Coast, the Bristol Channel and the South coast.

The Waverley has been giving tours around the isle of Wight this summer. She trundled across Sandown Bay a few weeks ago while we were there having lunch.

Pure bliss of a day that, a day on the water is a tonic for everybody. Thanks for sharing Nick.

Great to see you out and enjoying yourself again. Real friends, a good boat, and a fair wind. It's all we really need...

Ultimate Day Nick… “inflatables”, paddle board , good company and a swim!! Totally jealous!!😆😆👍👍🙏🙏❤️🇦🇺

Good Morning my time. Thank you for sharing the yacht/boat scene with yours. Very nice. ☺

A very nice boating adventure with your very best friends (I adore them)😊The scenery, playfulness, the pure friendship and love of life is truely heartwarming 🙏 Thanks 😀

Hi Nick. Now that was a very pleasant day on the water & am impressed with Greg & the board.

Those are sometimes the best sort of days, when you go out with no ambitions nor expectations. Fantastic Nick, thankyou

What a lovely second-hand excursion this was. Perfect antidote to a busy day in the salt mines!

Was pondering about the temperature of that water. Your reaction when you jumped in is all the answer I needed 😅

I love it when you take us out in your boat with you. Thank you!

That was great Nick. Bit of everything. Just proves that pottering around in boats is relaxation....its not all about great journeys. The paddle steamer was beautiful Dancing Star was looking nice anchored in the entrance of the Dart! Boating people are always happy to lend a hand, unlike life in general

Don't forget the "Waverley paddle steamer" had the pleasure of a Southend-on-Sea to London tower bridge trip last year, She would make a very good boat tour and I'm sure they would appreciate the extra publicity, she is an amazing pece of classics kit 👍 and they are currently down south doing trips as she normally lives in Scotland..

Love the Airplane and Police Squad references! 😂 As always, thank you for taking us along with you! That Lursson…..SB3? 🤣 Have great weekends one and all and Thanks again Nick!

What a lovely day out Nick. Nice Yacht in the bay...no wonder there was a lot more traffic it seemed. Thanks for having us along.

What a fabulous way to spend the day Nick, friends, boats, calm seas.

Hi Nick, And thank you for this show with the Smugglers Blues out again for a nice relax day on the sea with some frends Sally and Greg both with a Jeanneau 805 looks great together then on the end sailing back very slow to your dock that was nice and relaxing also for us Thanks again Nick that is a nice show

Always a pleasure to be with you on a boat trip👍

Lovely video Nick. Really nice SuperYacht on the Dart. Cheers thanks as always.

growing up near the detroit river where it meets lake Erie, this is about every weekend for us during the summer. It was the best of times.

Thank you for sharing your day on your channel. We only want you and I am glad you have good friends around you. Off to Southampton tomorrow to dream. Take care looking forward to your next video.

I'm becoming a big fan of Nick

A different video to what I normally watch on your channel, and beautiful. Seeing super yachts is one thing, but to see the adventure and enjoyment that boating brings is on another level. Thank you for sharing your adventure 😊 x

Beautiful display of the boating life! It's so much more appreciated when you can relate to it but I hope everyone gets a grasp of its nature.

Outstanding! Love this kind of content. Nick, please give us more of this. Thanks

I suspect we all share the same feeling about boating…the rejuvenation and semi-isolation from the rigors of the world where our problems are eclipsed at least for a moment or two. The salt-air tonic that helps us breathe again. All the best.

Great stuff Nick, once again you’ve captured and portrayed the essence and emotion of boating. Stunning conditions and scenery.

"Suffice to say, they're out." Lol, great way to start the day )

Glad you enjoyed it ❤️ Have a great day Nick

Love the “super yacht “ vids you do…..but this is what proper boating is all about!🇬🇧🤓

With nearly 500k subscribers you’re doing a great job. My favourite channel, hands down. Only got 15yrs before I can retire and buy my first boat. 😂

Clutch of 805's , great boats. 4 weeks without one was tough, especially as September's weather started so well, luckily the new boat collection from Plymouth to Solent went well last week, we did wave as we went past Dartmouth, honest!

Awesome Nick! Thanks as always. Yours and Greg's 805's looked superb together 👍

Great to see so many people out enjoying the water.

Nick I love your boat you look so happy out on the water that’s what it’s all about 😊👍

Thanks for sharing your boating with us.

Hi , we will need deeper pockets , than the depth of the river , to run that one . Great to see what can be built though . Yes on days like that it is the only place to be and far from the maddening crowds , of land lubbers . Snap davits , worth their weight in gold . Thanks for the video and who played along .❤👍

Happy for you guys, excellent. SUP, certainly makes sense to try with higher pressure unless prepared to go for a better brand

Looked like a sublime day out. I could see you didn’t need the help when berthing but it’s always nice when someone offers 😀. Thanks for sharing Nick

Thanks for all your work.

Steam trains and a paddle steamer...talk about having your cake! You're enjoying yourself absolutely too much and I'm more than a bit jealous.

Thankyou for sharing that nick a lovely day out boating perfect ,what more could you wish for.

Hi Nick, I really like the blue stripe on the hull of Smugglers. It’s such a small element of design, but it suits the boat really well.

Looks absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

I'm disabled following a spinal condition and have accepted I'm unlikely to ever be able to do some things I've always wanted to. Owning a boat is one of them. Your channel, especially these videos, give me access to something I thought I'd never have. Thank you, Nick. God bless and Happy Easter.

Thank you, it really has, and thanks for taking the time to reply. I'd watched your tours previously and my little girl became a fan, wanting to get me a boat when I finally retire. Then things went wrong and I'd given up hope. But your boundless enthusiasm and the richness of the videos gave that back. You really do give an awful lot to this community and we're very grateful. Thusly... 🤣 Every blessing. 🫡

9:40 Nick laughs sympathetically at Greg's fantastic athleticism...

Lovely to watch. Originating from Plymouth but now living in the Midlands you give me my regular on the sea fix. Thank you.

It's fantastic to see your boat trips

Great episode! Stay safe and keep rolling Aquaholic team! 👍👍

Cool place to stop and water so clear .

Not the only paddle steamer Nick,there is one called the waverley which at moment going from clacton on sea pier,nice to see u out on boat again before winter

Many have mentioned the PS Waverley, berthed a few miles from my home. It matters not that maybe she was unknown to Nick, he surely knows about her now due to the number of mentions on here. This is not a criticism in any way, but rather a brilliant platform for subscribers to add knowledge and fun to what is a super channel, Nick! Indeed, so many people love your trips where you showcase your own love of simply being afloat! That's what it's all about after all, and I bet you had even more fun than the Lurssen folk! I attach this link just so the Waverley gets another view or two...Danny Wilcox has a fab channel showing the West coast of Scotland where he tours extensively in his small inflatable boats, so for those who want to experience the beauty of this area the photograpy is superb. Not a competitor for Aquaholic, just another place to see beautiful scenery from a small boat. Thank you Nick for sharing your personal experiences on your own boat...we all appreciate them, and persdonally I like them more than the tours of boats I can never afford. The joy of being afloat? You bring it to us! kzread.info/dash/bejne/aaiuqtNvf66cqbA.html

Thx for sharing that Nick. Brilliant work as always. Love the Airplane references, I actually 😂

What a way to cheer you up and make life worth living

Nick, I was so thrilled I wished to hit the like button at every cut, ( at times every frame ) but the best I could do was ride along for the entire video till the end! Thanks so for sharing our KZread friend!❤

Nice chill out day. Can’t beat a bit of me time away from everyone. Nice one Nick.

Once again Nick I really enjoyed watching that. Do you know what, as beautiful as that multi million pound super yacht is, I bet you spend more quality enjoyable time on your boat than the owner of that does. Happy boaty boating xx

What a great video - lovely day on the boat!!

Not a bad day out to an isolated cove for some fun and frolics with your friends Greg and Sally, nick in the lovely September sunshine just a perfect day.

One of the best ever Nick. I really liked that one. Gives us plebs something to work towards. And kudos to you for taking a dip without a wetsuit, whilst your compadre had one on....i think I'd be wearing a drysuit in the UK nowadays cos I'm a wuss😂. Please keep em coming, i really like your boat reviews, but seeing you enjoy the water in a (relatively) affordable boat is much more interesting....for me at least 👍👍

It's got it written on the side Not much gets past me ! 😅😅😅❤ Brilliant Nick. Have a Great Day, and an even better weekend. Bob in Wales. 👍✨️✨️✨️

Livin' the dream Nick ! 👍

What a stunning location for boating!

Best days out are always unplanned they just happen. Great to watch.

What a great pair

I thoroughly enjoyed that

Lovely trip nick

Surely the world famous Waverley paddle steamer, must be accounted for ? Summer spent on the west coast of Scotland. She used to berth over winter in Southampton. You may have seen her there ?

That looked liked it was a very nice day out Nick.

Beautifully clear water! You must try fishing, perhaps Marianne can make a proper fish & chip plate for two… have a great weekend.

Lovely video! Im going to have Hawaii 5-0 song in my head all day!

What a great day out! No plan, just going with the flow.......

You and your friends had just as much fun on Smuggler as the Superyacht owner did , guaranteed. Thanks for sharing and hope Marianne is ok (?)

Perfect day...It's been an odd year. I got into the sea last week for the first time all year...that is very unusual for me, normally I'm in from May until September. So I get this. The Spring was very odd, very late and threw a spanner in the works, Summer was a drought. For me personally this Summer was a right off, but now I'm back in the groove, wanting warmth and clear waters for snorkeling. Lovely to see people, normal people, enjoying their leisure time. The mega yacht was spectacular but at the same time slightly ostentatious and ugly? The Dart looks superb.

Would love to see a yacht tour of that boat. Nice boat nick
