Let me sail across the Atlantic anytime over Ryan Air.

One thing I can honestly say is true in life, people who snore fall asleep faster than those who don't.

I don't think you realise how good you are at what you do, interesting, informative, and without exception, always make me smile. Thank you.

Adam and Khiara, 🙏 It's amazing that in back to back episodes you have covered two of my favorite places in the world. Places where I have walked the same streets and witnessed the same sights only my time was decades ago. It's nice to see that some things haven't changed much and others have. Glad to see that Neptune still guards the harbor and doesn't appear to have aged much. Many a day trip was loosely planned at his feet and many a last beer drank under his gaze before returning to our home in the harbor. Best Wishes from the Northern Gulf of Mexico 💚

That boat looks like a nightmare with that many people on it. Better you than me.

"A sailor knows precisely where they are at all times" absolutley, you're here... the real question is where everything else is :-)!

Ah Naples! “Don’t forget to sew up your pockets”! 😂😂

Too funny. You make me smile. Seeing Naples from a cemetery? What an amazing job with the production this week. Congrats!

Great video. Highlight being the tour of derelict graves and abandoned roof tops! All done with a smile from Khitai (on camera anyway!). Love Adams subtle critique of the Beneteau’s set up!

You two are so much fun! I wish I could be there with you!

Khiara still had her smile on even while Adam trekked her through some completely bizarre areas!

You can really tell the old saying , "You get what you pay for!" shines through in build quality and sound deadening with the Kraken over the mass produced charter boat market model Beneteau 48 .

When most channels are not sailing, they fill in with a lot on this and that. What I like about you guys you fill in with O-! this way or that way and find the most interesting places.. Jovel romp around dead people, best line was "Good thing we didn't land at night" ~ Kodos on the edit.. carry-on

Italy is so beautiful. Can’t wait to see the next episode of sailing around the coastline.

I"ve missed you two. What a wonderful area to explore! Thank you for the filming and editing. I got hooked on your adventures and binged up to this. I live near Seattle where boating is much colder.

good stuff

I would like to express my ultimate gratitude for sharing your latest adventures, first Turkey and now Italy! I am not sure if I have seen these sights on any other channels that I follow, this is amazing! Thank you and I am definitely enjoying your travels! Based on your latest Instagram post it may be too late but are you sure you wan to head back to the caribean??

Enjoying this new adventure in the Med. Love Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. 3 years since we were there last and missing it. Maybe next year.

A charter with friends is fun - a charter with strangers is ____________________. In the next episode do we find out the reason John invited you? Maybe Kihara does all the cooking for ten people and Adam needs to do boat maintenance? 😜

You two have more fun than anyone else on youtube !!

Nice home video.

The waterfront walk was pretty neat! And pretty safe..

Thanks for the great video guys

Love the compare between the Beneteau and the Kraken. Hip holds are important.

My bad, despite what I said about the engine noise in the two different boats, it wasn't my intention to compare the Kraken vs the Beneteau. They are build for different things with wayy different price brackets! @zack worrel said it very well!

Interesting trip. Good view of charter sa boats.

That was a fun video. Liked the one actual nautical task Khiara did at the end with putting the fender over the side. I captain chartered a jenneau in st martin with 7 friends. Le Herge which is on the bottom of oyster bay after the storm then 20 years ago. I slept on the settee. Bob slept outside and the girls all had the cabins. it was fun. never showed up for the heinekin regatta but had some good times in nevis.

Naples has a rough edge to it be careful walking around looking like tourists... Spent a few months there about 20 years or so ago and it probably is only rougher lol :) be safe you two and keep adventuring!

How fun guys! I’m so jealous.

Beautiful city!

It could look like we're comparing the two boat brands against each other but I'm glad that you took away from it that they're designed for two different things... so there is no comparison! A sailboat is a sailboat, same as a car is a car but a Nissan Micra (city car) is designed to different things to a Land Rover (4WD off roader) and each excels at their own things.

My daughters Kieana, & looks so much like you. We got lost in the back streets of Tokyo trying to find AirB&B. Was so much fun & great icebreaker to meet locals for directions. How many beds did the boys make?

Re: Kraken. FYI, there is an expansion team playing its first season of ice hockey in the National Hockey League, the professional league with teams in Canada and the USA,. The team is called the Seattle Kraken. Yeah, the owners of this team playing in the city off Seattle, in the State of Washington, in the USA has named the team Kraken. :¬) Webhead USA

Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe said 'See Naples and die' but I believe he meant it in a positive way.

I would feel like a sardine packed in a tin with tomato sauce.

I'm really excited to see how you guys feel this boat holds up. I don't harbor (get it!?) ambitions to circumnavigate the globe or taking on harsh conditions, but a year or two island hopping and fair weather sailing feels within reach of my modest sailing abilities. I think this is a more likely aspiration for many but a lot of the informed opinions are divided into two camps - "Blue Water Badass, I'm YOLOing RTW if the boat cant hit an iceberg and survive its rubbish" or "Plastic Fantastic is all you need!" (for a weekend or taken to places it was never designed to go). I'd really, really appreciate your no-nonsense opinion of this boat (and others like it) for something longer than a 5 day charter (months preferably) but less than transoceanic passages. I guess what I'm asking for specifically, what do you think are the realistic limits of a boat like this?

@JCrook1028

They're going on the boat for a short cruise and you're asking for an in depth opinion of it's worthiness as a long term vessel? Think for just a minute about what you're asking and then realize there is no way they could honestly do that.

@SailingMillennialFalcon

2 жыл бұрын

I think @JC1028 hit the nail on the head. unless we sell our own boat to live for months on this boat then we're not going to know the in depth knowledge of what it's like to live on a boat like this. What I hope comes across in the vid is that (in my opinion) boats are designed for specific purposes. THIS Beneteau was designed for the charter business (sailing no more than 1-2 weeks away from the charter company and then back again). For what it sound like you want to do with the boat (island hopping and fair weather sailing), this fits the design purpose of a Beneteau and should be suitable to what you want to do with it. As for maintenance and longevity, whilst I don't think its as solidly built as some other boats (understandable considering the price of one), if you look after it like any other, it'll stand up to whatever challenges you put it through. Hope this helps!

@@SailingMillennialFalcon Thanks for the answer, it actually helps quite a bit. When you're awash in opinions and information, sometimes hearing it from the right source helps crystallise some understanding. I think you guys sell yourselves a little short, the experience and knowledge you have give you a whole different lense to view these things through compared to someone like me who only has lake and a little off shore sailing experience. I've never spent weeks or months on ANY boat, there are things I'd never anticipate and problems I fore see that probably aren't real, your opinion even if not based on actual hands on experience has value to someone like me. Especially as you guys are just a lot more straight talking than a lot of sources on the internet (or my local marina for that matter!)

What a nice video. Sweet. Now you visited Naples (Greek: Nea Polis - new city) you'll have noticed how harbors along the coast are along all sorts of historic places. While the Greek did not originate from near the sea, once they inhabited today's Greece and started to sail the world they quickly developed all sorts of deep insights. The Romans, also did not originate from coastal regions, missed a few things, like sea currents and sedimentation. So harbor places founded by the Greek have their harbors stay naturally open. Rome's old harbor "Ostia" (called Ostia Antica today) is now several kilometers from the coast line.

you were in the Cimitero di Poggioreale it seems to be very old, on a web search for images there were picture of crumbling tombs and even bones and bits of clothing in open sided ( due to damage ) graves.....maybe that is why the strange looks from the locals

🙏🏻...

only question I have is, why ? why is John anywhere near a Beneteau ? LOLOL.......and you guys for that matter :) ....after the Kraken, it must seem a HUGE comedown....... OnWard.....

I know that Adam considers flip-flops to be legitimate footwear, but that city did not look like an area I'd want semi-bare feet in.

Ten people on a charter boat......you guys are still young.

So relieved you are not leaving Millie, watch another coupe that were on a sailboat much smaller than Millie. They are now on a huge full keel yacht & it is not the same. Well could relate to the poor boy operation, even if would like to relate to a Kraken. The family got kicked out of the UK about 1660 & we have been poor indentured servant's ever since.

What year Beneteau was it?? I follow Expedition Evens YT channel who have a 2008 Beneteau 49' they repaired and now sail... I ask as theirs does not have that big arch just ahead of the helm. Wondering if it's a function model year or length... or a charter edition versus private owner. Never mind... the Evan's boat is a "Sea Pass 49'" model and the charter was a Oceanis 48 of model year xxxx... so the model is the difference.

He liked chartering the Beneteaus as they're a bit of fun, speedy and manoeuvred easily. Mind you, I haven't heard him say a bad thing about any boat though!
