I only came across this brilliant youtuber last month and I can not stop watching. I don't even like sailing I get sea sick but absolutely love the videos.
I prefer reviews of older boats - not many experienced reviewers are doing them, but, realistically, they are more inline with most people's budgets than new boats....
Except to say, don't be misguided in just looking at the price tag when judging affordability and budgets...The reason that these type of boats (age & size) appear to be so cheap and such good value is simply supply and demand...anyone that can afford to properly run a boat like this can afford to buy a brand new one...and so they do buy new (or much newer). Those that can just about afford the price tag certainly can NOT afford to run a boat like this. A good rule of thumb for running costs is up to 10% of the new build cost. So in this case well over £100k per year - and that is honestly realistic once you look at mooring, lifting, antifoul, engine/genset/watermaker/thrusters/other servicing, as well as general upgrades and upkeep of a boat this size and age. Conversely, looking at new boats can often be much cheaper!! I've seen first hand several cases of clients buying boats like this brand new, seriously screwing down the price and getting a ton of extras, running it for 18 months or so with virtual nil running cost, and then selling for similar to purchase price. That is more in line with most peoples budgets. Admittedly you need a couple mil in cash in first place. But this 2001 boat could well cost you a lot more. In 2 years you could easily spend anywhere between £100k and £200k (depending on how lucky/unlucky you are) and then end up having to take £250k to get it sold. Now that IS expensive!!
@@aquacruisedb Thats not true at all. We purchased a 52' hatteras from 1996, used. There is no way we can afford a new Hatteras in that size (2.5m+) yet we can still afford the maintenance, storage, and money aside for major repairs.
@@blewyd Please read what I said more carefully, I never said that people who couldn't afford new couldn't afford to run used! And my comment is based on my 30 years of owning both brand new and 20 yr old motor boats from 40'-65'. I would also add that the Hatteras is a relatively low maintenance boat (i.e. a good boat!) you cannot compare it to a V65 in terms of maintenance costs
I do not happen to agree with the 10% rule and nether does this channel if you have a look through it you will find a video in witch he totally debunked the 10% theory It is simply fantastic that a normal person could spend 120.000£ a year on this boat only if you are Abramovich with a Captain on 60.000$ a year is it possible 30.000 for mornings in an exclusive marina 20.000 running costs 20.000 fuel ⛽ It could just as easy be 7.000£ for marina in a nice location and 5000 on fuel, i used to have a 19 Mt boat and run it for 15.000 a year doing the work myself However this doesn't look so much like fun it does seem a bit big. For me now
I'm probably never going to buy a boat like the ones this guy reviews, but the way he does the review is so intriguing. I watch all his videos as soon as they are posted.
Oh man, I'm in love with this. Many models in this price range I would not buy even if they were 150-200k cheaper. For this one I would even pay 200k more than the owner wants! For me the most beautiful boat you have shown us under 500k. Magnificent!!!
As a family boat on the med, I love the fact that the cockpit is a full wet area, so everyone could come in out of the sea and have lunch, it's a much better use of the space. If my numbers ever came in, this would be the perfect set up to enjoy the sun and sea. Great tour BTW
Your excitement is well founded on this one. This boat screams "all for one and one for all," with that open cockpit area. When you first mentioned crew cabin I thought you meant throw a blanket over the sun pad and bunk down there. What a surprise to see a work room (no reason to make a mess inside the goodness of the living area's), a washing machine and stand up engine room, and a real crew cabin too. Such a great "older" yacht, with the below deck saloon / galley unique from today (unless you have a much, much larger boat). I really love the new boat designs and features but my heart still pounds for some things of the past and this is one of those, well done finding it.
Hi Nick, yeah I’m with you on the galley & saloon set up - absolutely love this boat! Cabins are for sleeping in... the rest of boat is for boating in !... aaand the high gloss cherry is to die for !
Another Great video Nick! I agree the downstairs saloon is wonderful. I can imagine being down there on a bit of a stormy night sinking a few tumblers. For me, this style of layout is the best I’ve seen on your channel. Keep up the good work.
This is my favorite boat so far of the videos I've watched. Absolutely love the upper deck/cockpit layout and the hangout area underneath. You can tell this boat is made for people to hang out in
Hi Nick another great tour, whilst the multi million pounds superyachts you have kindly shown us round are amazing craft and a fantasy, there's something even more fascinating and intriguing looking around a beautiful pre owned boat like this, I love that large saloon downstairs, brilliant, and that polished wood everywhere, gorgeous, keep these videos coming squire, love 'em!! 🙂
Another great video Nick 👍It's interesting to see older boats for sale and you pointing out how things have been updated on the newer version of that same boat. 😊
I do have to agree with you, this has a very nice layout. I’m personally not a fan of fly bridges, they often make a boat look rather high and visually unbalanced, but also fly bridge boats have too many sections for my liking. As you were walking through, I thought exactly what you said, you only sleep in a cabin. Obviously you can see how design has changed, but as for a layout, I like this a lot.
Actually I have to disagree as the flybridge on my 62 Squadron is truly the most used part on the boat as it is the best way to embrace your surroundings and enjoy the sunny weather with all of your guests; also it is alot more fun to operate the boat from the flybridge as you feel included with whats going on. I only use the lower helm when cruising in bad weather or at night.
We seem to have similar thoughts, I would love something like the Whitehaven 6000 Sunbridge or the Belize day bridge 66, the only ones imo that have that balance between height and length within my budget and still use the bow area for the sun-lounging and general "chill" area unlike the otherwise beautiful Palm Beach 70
Nick , Keep up your Deep Warmth and Afection in giving your Reviews on what you enjoy doing . It really Shows that this is what your Love is all about . Cheers
Wow, what a great layout. After watching so many of your videos I had no idea that this was how a yacht could be, why on earth have they gone away from this design, it’s fantastic
Wow Nick when i saw the main deck was open i thought no i dont like a 65 foot boat thats not an enclosed saloon and galley but once you went below wow! WOW i love this yacht! Only change i would do is have a pop up tv on the kitchen bar so you can all watch the big game and have a lowering table for the saloon seating! Im with you this is a great great layout! Warm days upstairs and cold days downstairs! MAGNIFICENT boat and good old Nick finds and films! Thats my saying for your channel! Finds n Films 😊! Cheers Nick
I love watching your videos showing all the details about every Yacht your show. I'm quite learning a lot about how these very expensive luxury transports are designed and function. Hope to see more modern Yacht designs.
I just stumbled upon this Video of you at 1:08 am . I woke up and to do a errand in my Apartment . Nick I see that you were doing these during our World Lockdown . Your a Champion Nick and will always be the Very Best in Yacht Reviews on the internet on your Private Aquaholic Channel
I love the layout of this boat more than the modern aft galley boats. A lot more social space. Cabins are for sleeping so I wouldn't want unnecessary space wasted in the cabins. Excellent video as normal. Update. Nick I just said the same thing almost. We know Nick would never say anything negative about any boat on his channel but I think he prefers these layouts over the more modern.
I am with you on this one. Love the more classic layout with the galley downstairs. Better for entertaining when it gets dark or for a family to sit together
I know it’s not that old, but it’s certainly different from modern boats. Watching this tour for the second time, I’m falling in love with this for its retro style.
I like the layout of this older boat. The saloon area looks inviting for the size. Congrats on the 25k subscribers! It was just a month or so ago you celebrated 10k.
It is amazing how far the boating concepts have matured over the past 20 years. However, I quite like this older style Princess and would be just as happy owning this charming vessel.
Nice video Nick, what a lovely old school yacht, v65 with loads of power, very nice, can’t wait for your review of the new f65 with flybridge as discussed in a previous discussion. I absolutely love your passion & in-depth knowledge of these crafts, it makes me smile when I hear you “ nerd “ on about the attention to detail, but your so spot on. Love it.
An oldie but goodie as they say. This particular layout I think is my favourite of this series of Princess of V yachts - a real sleek and stylish classic. Huge cockpit all on one level just makes sense... and that saloon is to die for. Why bother with massive cabins as you're not in them all day, they're just for sleeping. I'd rather have more space dedicated to socializing and entertaining, and one can do that in spades with this design. What a comfy and classy boat, yet sporty as well. This is something one can spend several weeks away on.
Very cool boat. Love the lower galley/bar. Unusual design, that is not seen today on newer boats, but works really well. Thanks Nick for showing us this 😊
Beautiful yacht for an amazing price! I agree with your statement about the glossy cherry, looks classy and amazing. In my opinion, more new yachts need more woods, both glossy and matte. Too many whites and greys I feel on new yachts.
For the price, size, and layout, I actually very like this boat, the lower saloon is really nice, and I think either bedroom could be an owner, I did think for a shared ownership option, this boat would be perfect, or even as a kinda starter boat, thanks Nick!!!.
I thought from my first viewings you were promoting boats in excess of 1 mill, but this is a great one for more of a budget centred watercraft, it certainly beats my first experience of dinghy sailing on the solent! I have to say I really like your informative style and that you never really have anything bad to say about any floating home or sport craft, you always seem to find a positive slant, even when it's not ideal! Personally, I am considering something that I can live and work on, but there again, I am in Thailand now, not at all close to the UK! Do you ever do any vid's in Thailand or Asia? By the elite standards, my budget will be somewhat more modest than most, but just a few quid (or Thai Baht) more than this one!
Revisiting this great review in search of a Princess 61 review. I must say the below deck saloon is very nice, and the overall layout is interesting. Great tour, by a Nick thats just starting to get the nicks of things 😜
Always look forward to your comprehensive reviews and I have enjoyed every one of them, so please keep them coming. I am hoping you might review the MKII V65 and a circa 2004 V70 someday plus please add the Overmarine Mangusta 80 to that little list. A boy can dream!
I like how he presents all the yachts. I am glad that current yachts are more practical. With 45degree in the med I am quite happy to have a closed salon with ac. I would feel trapped in that crew area.
Funnily enough I have a 2001 V65 which I absolutely love and is moored in the Med. we kept the two tender garages and only use the crew cabin for storage as it is pretty claustrophobic and I wouldn’t want to submit anyone to staying in it. You are absolutely correct however when you say that although you trade off the size of bedrooms for the saloon it is ok because you spend more time (when awake) in the saloon. I did really like the enhanced cockpit canvas cover which your reviewed boat had and think that is really useful for off season use. We have two 1300 MAN engines and although thirsty, we still get 38 knots top speed and the boat is such a classic - I think of it as the E Type Jag of the sea. Lovely review and thank you for all of your reviews - really enjoyable channel
Certainly an excellent boat given its price, It’s a lot of boat for the cost. A very lax and convenient outside area design. And the best thing, in my opinion, The high gloss cherry interior is gorgeous, Certainly remains my favourite interior of any boat you’ve shown. If by any stretch of the imagination, I manage to win the lottery, This boat would be the first thing I would buy!
There is a side of me that prefers less master bedroom vs more living space...lovely craft, wish you did more tours like this of various high end models.
Congrats on the 25K subs Nick! I love the second hand boat reviews, they are closer to our budget, keep these videos coming! In this one i would make the VIP my own, i think it's the best cabin.
I doubt I''ll ever afford any of the boats on this channel unless I opt to live on one instead of buying a house but I still love watching every single walk around
Buying an older boat can mean massive bargains. There’s a couple of things I’d change, but what a fabulous boat. Love the saloon and leaving the cockpit open like that. That’s a lot of boat for the money
Still a great boat despite its age. For the price of a current Lamborghini, one could invest and buy one of these lol. Thank you Nick for giving us more slightly more affordable boats, do more of these!
Quick question: on some of these boats I see the entrance to the crew area is under seats/steps. That’s all good for space saving but what happens if the crew can’t out as someone is sat on the hatch? Does this limit the number of times they can transit to their chill area/home and work?
Nick, great video, as always. You brought it to the point. I never understood the sense of all these big midship owners cabins. You only go there to sleep.
AmaInf layout. It’s a bit boring the standard setup each time, this is lovely. It’s nice seeing one lived in too, you can see where the real storage is!
I only came across this brilliant youtuber last month and I can not stop watching. I don't even like sailing I get sea sick but absolutely love the videos.
Louise sawyer well, you need a sail to sail, but fair enough
It's great to have you along Louise! :)
@soren schjodt Welcome aboard! :)
I've started buy more lottery tickets ,since I've started watching this channel lol
Forgotten to say ,really good channel

It is simply fantastic that a normal person could spend 120.000£ a year on this boat only if you are Abramovich with a Captain on 60.000$ a year is it possible
30.000 for mornings in an exclusive marina 20.000 running costs 20.000 fuel ⛽
It could just as easy be 7.000£ for marina in a nice location and 5000 on fuel, i used to have a 19 Mt boat and run it for 15.000 a year doing the work myself
However this doesn't look so much like fun it does seem a bit big.
For me now
Never clicked a video that fast in my life. Love looking at boats I can never afford. Thanks for paying attention to the small details.
That's lovely to hear :)
Yeah, I love looking at boats I can't afford either :D Fun hobby hey!
I'm sure you could rent for a day or two 😊
@@angelikalaser7778 Yes, that is always an option :D
Angelika Lirgendwas Probably yes, but not own.
This layout makes so much sense to me. I would love to see modern boats with this sort of layout.
I'm probably never going to buy a boat like the ones this guy reviews, but the way he does the review is so intriguing. I watch all his videos as soon as they are posted.
In these times of quarantine, I am going through these older vids, and there are some awesome content here
Need more of good value second hand boats Keep it up
Got a couple of lovely ones lined up, keep watching! :)

Currently binging on all these older more affordable boats! keep em coming ill be running out soon!

Beautiful yacht for an amazing price! I agree with your statement about the glossy cherry, looks classy and amazing. In my opinion, more new yachts need more woods, both glossy and matte. Too many whites and greys I feel on new yachts.
I was truly stunned when I saw the saloon. I was also stunned to see how well this review was done:)
The access to the crew area is something else! WOW!
My kinda boat! Is this the most addictive channel on YT? Yes. Yes it is.
It's aquaholic! :D Thanks for watching Bryan. :)
Such an interesting and well spoken professional person.
Very nice boat one of the best fits you have showed good job
My favorite part is always the crew area. So cool the entrance is hidden.
This channel is one of my new favs, keep up the quality vids and never change your style
Thanks HG, will do!
For the price, size, and layout, I actually very like this boat, the lower saloon is really nice, and I think either bedroom could be an owner, I did think for a shared ownership option, this boat would be perfect, or even as a kinda starter boat, thanks Nick!!!.
Very interesting layout. Very similar to a sail boat.
Great job on the video. Always looking for the next one.
I thought from my first viewings you were promoting boats in excess of 1 mill, but this is a great one for more of a budget centred watercraft, it certainly beats my first experience of dinghy sailing on the solent! I have to say I really like your informative style and that you never really have anything bad to say about any floating home or sport craft, you always seem to find a positive slant, even when it's not ideal! Personally, I am considering something that I can live and work on, but there again, I am in Thailand now, not at all close to the UK! Do you ever do any vid's in Thailand or Asia? By the elite standards, my budget will be somewhat more modest than most, but just a few quid (or Thai Baht) more than this one!
Sadly not, but hopefully my videos will give you a taste of some of the European offerings.
The VIP cabin under the bow gets all the rocking and rolling. The stern berths are so much more comfortable under way.
Good looking older yacht. The space is there for good living on the water. Nice.
£ for £, the best boat you have on your channel so far. Love it!
Couldn't believe you missed the tender garage...💁😂
As always great tour, thanks Nick
I've got another tender garage coming up on another video Neil, and we opened it! Stay tuned!
This one is officially my favorite 👍🏼
Congratulation on being creator on the rise, I know how it feels because I was in that spot yesterday 😃👍👍🎉🎉🎉 Well done!
Thank you, and same to you! :)
Revisiting this great review in search of a Princess 61 review. I must say the below deck saloon is very nice, and the overall layout is interesting. Great tour, by a Nick thats just starting to get the nicks of things 😜
I think you have found your familys new boat!! I loved it too.....
Always look forward to your comprehensive reviews and I have enjoyed every one of them, so please keep them coming.
I am hoping you might review the MKII V65 and a circa 2004 V70 someday plus please add the Overmarine Mangusta 80 to that little list. A boy can dream!
New favourite boat alert. This boat is made for me to party on. And what a price ❤
I like how he presents all the yachts.
I am glad that current yachts are more practical. With 45degree in the med I am quite happy to have a closed salon with ac.

18 years old and still gorgeous 👍👍

I doubt I''ll ever afford any of the boats on this channel unless I opt to live on one instead of buying a house
but I still love watching every single walk around
Might get one of these. Affordable huge boat perfect for my family!
pure class this yacht is
...so cool, just found your Chanel and now one after the other.... Like the way you show the Importen thiks... Go on.. This Boot is super, love it...
Loving these affordable boat reviews. Excellent
What a beautiful boat! Love all the cherry.
Amazing - we also get to see so many of your socks collection! 😉🙋♂️
Thanks Nick. Well shown thru. I agree, great value.
She may be a bit older but still a lovely yacht. Great review as always.
Buying an older boat can mean massive bargains. There’s a couple of things I’d change, but what a fabulous boat. Love the saloon and leaving the cockpit open like that. That’s a lot of boat for the money
Love the shirt and yacht of course 😊
V65 Mk I.....my new favourite layout !
Grand tour! That’s a lot of boat for the money and the mods made are great too 👍
Love the lower saloon, absolutely superb.
Great boat. Great video as always.
Love the intimate aft cabin.
Still a great boat despite its age. For the price of a current Lamborghini, one could invest and buy one of these lol. Thank you Nick for giving us more slightly more affordable boats, do more of these!
Quite nice good to see so many videos being uploaded keep them coming
This one does have a great looking crew area with the washing machine and by you walking into the engine area is nice.
This is a fantastic boat, and a great review! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Quick question: on some of these boats I see the entrance to the crew area is under seats/steps. That’s all good for space saving but what happens if the crew can’t out as someone is sat on the hatch? Does this limit the number of times they can transit to their chill area/home and work?
NICELY DONE. MR BILOXI
Hi, my name is Jacob and I'm an aquaholic.
*all together* Hi, Jacob
Keep coming back Jacob
Hi jacob
What AA (Aquaholics Anonymous) token you up to? You've got a loooooong road ahead you, lol.
You should review the old 1980s Sunseekers. XPS34, Tomahawk Thunderhawk etc. Such beauties..
I have an eighties Sunseeker Portofino 25 on my channel, have a quick search. And I agree with you, absolute classics.
This is off topic, but hopefully someday you can film one of those new solar catamarans
That would be interesting.
Again a great review, you really keep my dream alive.
A boat that's older than my ford transit and i still cant afford it
Try part exchange
Nick, great video, as always. You brought it to the point. I never understood the sense of all these big midship owners cabins. You only go there to sleep.
Thanks Stefan. :)
AmaInf layout. It’s a bit boring the standard setup each time, this is lovely. It’s nice seeing one lived in too, you can see where the real storage is!
I like this better than most of the newer boats
Awesome, I love reviews of boats under 500k, more in line with what I would be willing to look at and I think most here too haha
