You're one of the only channels that I watch all of the video almost ever time you put one up. For a couple years.
Awesome! Great to hear. 🙂
same
Me too..
and the only channel I click like before I have even watched the video :-)
Same! Love this channel.
There are so many unnecessarily luxurious boats that cost way much more. This one is absolutely amazing. Her owner deserves an applause.
Outstanding yacht - obviously the owner is hard core scuba diver and adventurer. When the zombie apocalypse comes this is what you want :)
How would you get fuel in a zombie apocalypse?
Very, very carefully…
Definitely not built for partying. 😂
Ultimate fantasy boat. Imagine being the owner and going to the Capt. and saying 'let's plan a year long round the world trip'. That would be amazing.
I'd settle for piloting her myself😊
The best presentation of an Arksen. In addition to the redundancy of important systems, the presence of passive safety systems at every step, the utility of things put before luxury makes the lackluster yacht one of the most beautiful ships ever presented and seen!
I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
The go ANYWHERE adventure boat - so long as the destination is full of water.
Strong. Utilitarian. And still lovely and comfy feeling.
What a boat ! ! !
Thanks for the tour, boat owners and Nick for the video chaperone.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Aww, and I wanted to take one to the Pyramids :(
True luxury is the ability to go anywhere in comfort and security. You can keep your marble bath, give me a silent anchorage on solar power with the flopper-stoppers ( new word) calming the movement of my securely anchored boat. Great tour. Thanks Nick
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
WOW !! I understand now why your tour was 2 hours ! I'm speechless ! That is a battleship ! I truly LOVE that greenish/blue color inside ! LOVE the helm section and the inward wind screens. I'm still trying to process all this. May have to rewatch this ! Definitely a year end favorite !! Going to be very difficult to top this !! Thank you Nick !!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much! 🙂
I'm from Russia. I am always happy to watch your films shot from one take. It's like I'm walking on yachts next to you. I'm waiting for new movies. Keep making us happy. Thank you and good luck to you and your loved ones.
Thank you very much, I'm glad you're enjoying them 🙂
Я всё понимаю, но данное судно - списание денег или для получения страховой выплаты...
Nick…this is an absolutely breathtaking yacht. The dichotomy between the exterior and interior is unreal. Thank you for taking us on a 40 minute journey through this masterpiece!
My pleasure!
Tribute to the legendary Steve Dashew. Taking his idea to another level that is more suitable to clients.
You know Nick is excited when we get 10+ minutes of the engine room! That is an impressive boat. I think my favorite part is actually the water tight doors! 😆
If the bombs fall, I want to be on this boat! Cheers, Nick!
My new favourite term: Flopper Stoppers! I aim to squeeze it into as many conversations as possible this week! Love this boat.. and a great tour as usual.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Isn't that what a bra is called? Sorry couldn't resist.
Quite possibly my favorite Yacht that I've seen thus far. If you were to take an "off grid" property and put it on the water, this would be it, and on a serious scale. The builders of this know how to do it, and do it right!
I forgot what is it made out of again?
The perfect all rounder, go anywhere transatlantic cruiser yacht, with an abundance of redundancy as standard built in to her hull. This is probably the best yacht you've featured on "Aquaholic " in a long time, it's an amazing concept nick. I wonder if they(arksen) will ever build a 24 metre yacht so that we can all have a chance of piloting this fantastic aluminium masterpiece nick.
It's a 85 foot craft with all the features of an 85m boat.
Much love.
%100 the best tour of an Arksen on the internet. You deserve an award.
You're very kind 🙂
What an amazing yact. This is built for serious travel. You can travel to the far distant part of the earth and have fuel to spare. I really enjoyed this very thorough tour.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Fantastic yacht complimented by your thoroughly enjoyable tour. What this tour says is, you have the chops to present the yacht in the best way possible, and you have earned the respect of the owners / builders to be given a 2 hour tour prior to making this video. Additionally I suspect the dozens of cutesy less serious pretend presenters would never be given access to a yacht of this caliber. Your years of hard work has put you in the pantheon of a very elite group of mariners who are invited to present these yachts. Bravo!
You're very kind, thank you 🙂
This ship looks beat up but in such a beautiful way.
I would explore every part of the world in this beauty.
The one thing that threw me was the wheel. Was I the only one expecting a big wooden wheel in the helm?
7000 NM ! 7000 ! Holy smokes!
What a beauty.
Cozy not gaudy. Beautiful and tough. Just incredible. This may be my favorite of all of the ships/boats/yachts you have showed.
Instantaneous boiling hot water 'Font'.
She's a definite Go Anywhere, fabulous little ship.
Great treat, many thanks Nick.
My pleasure!
I admire the owner. Something that looks so understated yet has all of the amenities and can go anywhere. Superb! Presentation from Nick entertaining as ever.
That is a amazing ship , very much like a Royal Navy ship . I can say out of all the 1000s of boats you have videoed this is the one for me 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That is an absolutely stunning vessel, in my opinion better than any sunseeker.
Flopper Stoppers brilliant. That is going to take some beating, will need to drop that into convo now.
Wow 7,000 nautical miles. World cruise here I come. Just incredible. The idea of being able to fully customize the layout is a great feature. No two boats are the same interior wise. I was expecting to see more refrigeration and cold storage than we saw. I thought we would of seen a walk in one.
Every system has back ups, the back ups have back ups. For distance this is going to take some beating.
Thank you so much Nick for showing us around her. Every tour you bring us brightens my day . flopper stoppers and all
You're very welcome! 🙂
What a yacht I think I’ve fallen in love.
This is an amazing non-nonsense type of vessel. Brillian tour, Nick! Thank you for sharing this with us.
My pleasure!
I had already watched a couple of tours of this boat, so I wasn't going to watch again, but you are definitely the gold standard for boat tours. Great tour once again.
You're very kind 🙂
Engine room is awesome! Love the space they gave the heart of the yacht! 👍👍
That is now my favourite explorer. I thought the Bering 79 was special but this is amazing and British built.
Fantastic yacht but I still reckon Nordhavns are somewhat superior. 😊
@@pageant1fdAren’t Nordhavens made of Plastic? That ain’t bad, but for this type of Boat some might prefer a metal hull…
I’m sure this has been said before, but you my friend are the David Attenborough of boating. Never miss a video - I am not even a boater and this is my favorite channel!
That's lovely to hear, thank you 🙂
CLEARLY this owner is preparing for something!!! I have been waiting/ searching for a tour like this. Practicality before luxury in an unstable world!
Thanks so much for sharing and educating!!!!!
Blessings
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
That is a very interesting boat. Totally practical and not a floating gin Palace. Love the mini helm in the saloon. Have wondered why you don't see that more often.
Another incredible video of a remarkable no nonsense power yacht from the world’s number one and best yacht review channel AQUAHOLIC..!!! 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, what a boat. Loved every bit of that engine room! Would love to see an owner configuration for a softer look to compare. Great tour Nick as always.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
"Take my breath away..." incredible tour Nick, well done for remembering all the facts.
Thank you! 🙂
I must say, this boat is really well thought out, a lot of work been put into it.
Wow! I thought Nordhavns' were amazing explorer yachts but this takes it to another level.
You said at the end a incredible boat and it truly is. Amazing.
Superb, one of the absolute best yet. The build is very similar to the 27metre windcats that I used to travel on. The solid bare alloy outside and plush inside. This boat is a phenomenal piece of kit. You could easily travel the world in comfort. I'm truly impressed, well done Nick, you just keep raising the game.👍🏴
Thank you very much!
Incredible boat. Love the 100% redundancy - all back up systems. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic boat nick and excellent video 🛥🚤⛵️👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
I’ve had a “love it/hate it” attraction to this yacht ever since it was first announced some years back. Still do after seeing the finished product…I *want* to like this, and I generally do…but…for $10mil+, I don’t want to see weld seams and what looks like an interior from IKEA. I know it’s owner spec, but I think he went a bit overboard on “tuna trawler chic”. A lot of this, however, can be overlooked when I consider “New York to Buenos Aires with fuel left over”. Excellent tour as always!
One question…given the range and potential time it mechanically be away from dock, can it carry enough provisions to support this?
Thanks!
Beautiful boat,love the colour schemes and layout,one would feel very safe on that magnificent ship
I have been waiting for this video since I saw the first drawing of the ship !! Beautiful inside and out 😍
Hope you enjoyed it!
Have seen this one pop up on a few other channels. Glad to see you covering her too
An Arksen! I hoped to see one up close one day - and now I have (well second best thing really). Amazing concept and perfect execution. Sometimes you see a review of a house or a car or a yacht and think, who would spend so much on this? But not here. If I could I would happily spend 10 M pounds on it and more for what has to be the ultimate freedom machine.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go re-watch this video.
That range is impressive. It would do LA to Sydney with fuel to spare!
Best of both worlds. Durable outside and luxurious inside. Great video. Excellent owners spec. 🇦🇺 😊
Thank you! 👍
It's a lovely boat ruined by a lack of paint outside and some challenging colours on furniture and walls. What do I know though. The biggest boat I have owned fits in my bathtub.
Easy to spec something different if that is your preference. 🙂
Indeed. The point I failed comprehensively to make with any clarity was that taste is subjective and just because I don't like it doesn't mean nobody likes it and if the owner likes it then that's all that matters.@@AQUAHOLIC
The engine room was amazing and the best part of this yacht. The redundancy on this rig is outstanding. High Praise & Well Done to the Engineers!
Finally I’ve found a channel where the host has great knowledge, shows all of the features and small details that actually matter to most viewers!! Awesome review of this boat 👍🏼👍🏼 I can’t afford one yet but I think once Powerball hits I’ll buy an Explorer type boat 🛥️ Best of all worlds. Gotta dream big!! Thank you from Australia 🇦🇺
Welcome aboard! 🙂
That Ship is epic..the owner must be very happy with it 👏🏻👏🏻
Another great tour Nick! I watched both of the Charter's again that you had with Paul & Victoria. So much fun! I also love Ham & Cheese!!
Awesome, glad you enjoyed them! Some of the happiest times of my life. 🙂
Thats it. Im calling it. Dream boat. Amazing find Nick.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Agreed, the perfect boat for a serious world cruiser.
Out of all the explorer yachts you've shown.
This is by far my favorite.
Now, I just need to hit tonights big lottery to buy it.
Truly a very capable and beautiful boat. The Arksen designers may not like to admit it, but it clearly draws inspiration from the pioneering designs of Steve Dashew and his FPB range of explorers.
They are pretty silent about it, which is a shame, it's a good pedigree that would add value, but I guess they want someone else's credit.
If by “draws inspiration from” you mean directly copy, then I agree with you. Unfortunately, this boat is not nearly as fast as the FPB’s.
Finally a decent Walk through
I knew I'd manage one eventually! 😄
Presume you mean for this model of boat as never seen a bad walk through from Nick
Really ❤ this vessel for what it is designed to do. The interior is a total surprise and just really ❤ the colors chosen. As ever thank you for the best tours -- and I really mean that! Cheers! 🍷
You're very kind, and you're very welcome 🙂
It's certainly built with safety in mind, it's amazing
This yacht is stunning from all sides, which ever way you look at it or walks of life you’re from.
I do wiring on boats and cars etc and to just put it all on paper to be designed, every system is mind boggling! 😮
Imagine doing the hand over to the customer….
All I can say is I love the hard/commercial outside of it and then you go inside and it’s almost calming and soft interior welcomes you….
Stunning and well done Nick for the tour, must’ve been almost a mental overload remembering all the key facts!!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
My all time favorite! Where do you want to go today? AMAZING!!!!!!!
Dang, this is one hell of a boat. I thought Nordhavn and my favourite Numarine 37XP were impressive. 7knm range (wow)! This is truly a go anywhere yacht. Yes, it is not a plush as some other yachts, but who needs that when you just show off in the med or Caribbean. This is a REAL boat. I really like this one. They have made it to really perform. Thank you Nick for the great tour as always !
I'm very glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Such an amazing tour, and I’d pick this over the luxury super yachts any day!
Holy cow, what a boat. I think I would definitely paint it, and re-config the interior a bit. Love the aluminum hull. Love the detail of making a strong dependable boat, which I think should be everyone's first priority. 7000 NM!!!
How nice to see a boat that takes economy seriously.
By far my favourite tour and taught to date
Interesting factoid, 80% of aluminum used in the US is recycled. The percentages are a bit higher in other Western Countries. So when manufacturers brag about their aluminum being mostly recycled, that’s pretty much just standard operating procedure.
Great ship and very interesting tour!
Many thanks!
It's good to see you cranking out content. Moving on 101, that's how you do it son.
As for this boat, as much as I love the super yachts and weekend pleasure craft, this is what really impresses me. A serious mini-ship with a more proper bridge than many supers, excellent creature comfort and facilities, a decent amount of leisure space, and surprisingly stylish, given it's no nonsense exterior finish, and almost any contingency covered.
It had me at formal navigator station. Make it so, Lt...
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Beautiful, impressive vessel. We're privileged to be taken aboard for your interesting tour. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very commercial, yet full of luxury. Amazing boat!!! My only issue, SCANNIA engines??? Not bashing SCANIA by any means, but, If you need world wide support I would choose CAT first, then MTU/VOLVO/Cummins/JD... Excellent review!!! Insane boat!!! Thx Nick!!!
Fantastic. Love this. No tacky decorating. Clean and practical. ❤ thanks Nick.
My pleasure!
Now THIS is my kind of dream boat! (And I'm guessing Nick's too considering he really took his time on this boat ;)
Owner: "Make my yacht look like an oil tanker".
someone doesn't understand what an expedition yacht is.
That is truly a thing of beauty. Love so much about it. Thanks for the tour Nick!!!!
My pleasure 🙂
That’s some serious ship!
Just seeing how enthusiastic you were while filming the video says it all! As usual, great boat and magnificent video!!
Thank you very much!
Welding aluminum is challenging. It was well done. Cheers to the welders.
This could be my favourite boat you’ve ever done! 😍Ultimate self sufficiency. Are the owners preppers by any chance? Range, energy, water, safety. The whole set up is just top class all while looking beautiful! 👏👏👏
Beautiful boat! I have seen an extensive video on thos boat that Arksen did a few months back and it is on of the best designed boats in the world today hands down.
Thank you for the great tour Nick 😊
My pleasure!
Sadly I've been too busy to allow time to watch, just finished £9.5 Million Explorer Yacht, really I think its absolutely perfect, great value for money, the owner has great taste, what a yacht to make a trip from St Katherine's Dock in London to say I dunno, Sydney in that beautiful country Australia with that range just three fuel stops, now that would be an expedition and a half, thank you to the owner and Aquaholic.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
If I had one of these, I would pack my earthly belonging on it, cast off, and never come back again. 100%. Loved the video, thanks!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Super spectacular and my kind of yacht. I don't need to have six bars doing 35 knots; I want a cozy space that will get me a quarter of the way around the planet! Thanks so much to you and Arksen for the wonderful tour!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
I guess I am in the minority here, the negatives : the interiors to me look straight out of an IKEA catalogue. For a warm climate boat I am not so sure a bare aluminum deck is the best idea in the world. Maybe I missed it in the video, or Nick didn't show it, but was there only 1 fridge ?, for a boat that has a 32 day sailing range a single full size fridge looks like a good way to run out of food 1/3 of the way into the trip.
The engine space is impressive for sure and I really do appreciate the double everything and plenty of space to work. Sorry to be negative, especially for a Southampton based boat builder, but, the owner paid for it, I hope he is happy, that is the opinion that counts.
Nick, thank you sir - superb work as always!
I would be on the small group of spoiled customers - who don’t like the aluminum boat at this video. (not that anyone cares for my opinion)
However great the interior is, the exterior left the feel of dirty or not clean surfaces everywhere, low quality finishes, and overall below subpar look and feel for very expensive boat.
Had a Chance to be on princess x85 this weekend - incomparable creatures. Can’t imagine anyone picking this aluminum patchwork over flawless princess.
The Princess is a great boat, but it won't cross the Atlantic and just keep on going.
Well done on sneaking a ‘thusly’ in, Nick. Good work.
I love this yacht, watched the sea trials about 5 months back, it is really a go anywhere yacht.
Externally, it's not exactly a thing of beauty - opinions can be divisive, I know. In warmer climes, that unpainted aluminium is going to get hot.
Holy cow, A rich person with taste. That is a cool yacht!
Nick you are the man. This is an awesome tour.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂
What an outstanding serious-owner boat! The perfect dose of understated but definitive luxury incorporated in absolute functionality rather than the other way around. Love.
Looks like you've divorced Maggie and replaced her with a newer younger model. So I've actually started using Squiggie, I guess now I'll be referring to my wife's braziers as Flopper Stoppers. I love the aluminum build, the solar, and the range is awesome, but it's just too commercial or industrial feeling for me. I don't need something that can survive in Antarctica when I have no desire to ever go there or to ever be cold again. Great in-depth video, and congrats on remembering so much of the technical stuff. Thanks Nick.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Wow! I've not seen anything this impressive since the Disco Volante.
This vessel is amazing in so many ways. The range is spectacular. For me, it has always been about getting there rather than the destination itself. One of the many interesting things in the engine room was that the engines themselves took up so little space. But everything was so "getatable". We all know that equipment is more likely to be serviced and maintained if it's easily getaaible.
What a magnificent machine, top tier design
That delivers incredible range and comfort.
This has raised the technical bar for me and pushed the yachting frontier pleasantly forward. Like multiple wing stations and a passive stabilization system that does not consume power.
I’d love to go on a Caribbean tour with this baby and maybe hit the top of South America
Most excellent tour Nick
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Up there with Bering. Nice TRUE explorer. Great tour Nick - thanks!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂
Best yet Nick what fantastic boat
