This boat was commissioned by my father's company, Trawler Cat Marine AF built the boat for us. I was there when this boat was built, we launched the 60 and 45 foot versions both at the same time. It has fuel cells running across the main deck and gravity feed into the engines . They are baffled to stop slop and originally was designed as a world cruising boat with a range of 3.000NM. The engines for each boat are specific as the boat are custom built I can not remember what we put in this boat. I however remember the bow down problem we had on launch day and the boat yard scrambling to get lead to be placed in the stern of the boat, so we could take all the dignitaries and people that had been invited to the launch. We then added Bulbous bows to help with this problem and added them to each boat built after that. The interior of this boat was fully customised by the owners wife, who used her interior designer. The original owner had a ships captain, hence the twin single berths, and he mainly used the boat to go fishing in the Bahamas. He would fly in, spend a few days having fun and fly back in his private jet. Some people have the life.
I really wish they were still being made. This looks fantastic but with a layout I would have done differently just because of family and use differences, if I had the chance to get one built from scratch.
Makes more sense for the design....perfect for that use...just hang around the Bahamas, cheaper than a house in the Bahamas...and move your house around American coasts...
I love how utilitarian the boat is and how humble the home it’s docked by is. Every other yacht video is all polished gold and pop up big screen TVs. If I had yacht money I’d struggle to find one that wasn’t gaudy and vulgar.
When talking about power boats please be certain to include the range of the boat. How much fuel it can carry and how far it will go are ultra important .
@@TheOverproof151 very true and Nordhavn is a wonderful boat. I do like the layout of this cat I think you could reduce the size of the engines and add tankage and she would be a great boat.
I'm always surprised to see how much room there is in these pleasure vessels. I spent 12 years on a 140' crab boat in Alaska, and every cubic inch of her was utilitarian; Parts for everything mechanical & electric. Hydraulic parts & hoses, welding equipment, etc. So to see how comfortable & well-equipped this beauty is, at ½ the length, is impressive
and for the stuff he glossed over... It's fiberglass, twin Cummins 370hp engines. AF Therio in NS specalizes in custom boats, often commercial boats and even though they do yachts, they are no-frills yachts, like some other manufacturers. He says it's over-built, but I would say it was built for the conditions a expedition yacht is likely to encounter.
As others have mentioned fuel capacity and range are very important when talking about any power boat. Other than that this was a great tour and I'm sure I'll be dreaming about this vessel whether I'm asleep or awake. Talk about a home on the water that you could take pretty much anywhere it's range would support...
I really like the idea of the way you're presenting your video, so I will spend time writing to you. I have a few items. Expedition ship? It's more of a power cat, parked in a residential area. What example locations and long-distance runs has she made? It doesn't present itself as a 'Go anywhere ship'. More like a super super fun yacht for a surf and fishing trip. Which is great! Does seem very used and not cared for in the mechanical areas? Or maybe it needs a good cleaning. either way for near a million dollars, or as you put it, 'something you spend twenty years saving up for', I would like to see the attention to upkeep. Frills are not necessary for a great long distant boat security is. Expedition Ship - 3000 NMiles Range? Heavy Large Seas??? What's the weight? It's not a displacement boat so it won't go through waves, it has to go over waves. Can it outrun a storm? How many hours on the engine and gen-sets, can it handle ice, simply a few more tech questions would be good.
Don't misunderstand me, your videos are good and this boat is pretty good but you have to make sure you understand what are you talking about. An expedition yacht can be broadly described as a vessel which has been purpose built, or converted, to enable long-distance cruising to remote areas of the world. To "qualify" for that description, I think the range of the vessel should at least exceed 1,500 miles at a reasonable speed between 8 and 10 knots. So, the first thing you had to cover in your video was that data, including capacity of fuel and water tanks, water making capabilities, refrigeration storage and emergency equipment. Then, if the owner claims the boat is is a sturdy "expedition yacht" the anchor windlass, anchor and chain should be much more sturdier. Same goes foe the access doors to the pilot house. Which brings me to another subject, that is not a flybridge, it is a pilothouse. Flybridge is something that boat does not have over the pilothouse but maybe it should have. At least I found most of the information in the seller's website but even there, the boat is described as a trawler. Although the boat needs a lot of tender loving care, the price seems to be OK. The advantage of Cat hulls is that they can normally reach 18 kts speed burning about 35 gph, which is pretty good for a boat that size. A mono hull trawler of about 60-ft will burn 50-60 gph at same speed although they normally do not go past 9 kts and burn 8-gph combined, plus generator. After a quick research I found that the boat has a tank capacity of 300 gallons of water and 1,200 gallons of diesel for two engines and a Generator. I would say that to cross oceans it would need more water storage and maybe another 500 gallons of fuel tankage. And maybe another generator.
Quite the shipyard, in Nova Scotia Canada. In business since 1938. They build fire boats, fishing boats, trawlers, ferries, pilot boats, barges, patrol boats, and yachts. Look to be solid, heavy duty, commercial grade construction.
I agree with the other comments, in a power cruiser, the fuel bunkerage, and cruising range at cruising speed, is really the most important facts that need to be conveyed about the boat, otherwise really great review.
Wow this boat is amazing. Lots of room and luxury throughout. And I imagine that hull provides a smooth ride as well. The helm is very well designed with the 360° view.
Wonder if you could rent her as apt, in the off season to cover the cost... "Not a question, a thought" Us average folks, may never get to ride her😅 Until after 😢 Another 20 year's guys, I'll share, "maybe..."
Wow, in the details this is definitely a Canadian boat built by a buider who does commercial work. Nicer than the Novi-built commercial fishing boats I've worked on. Heavy, heavy built, hand-laid by the look, older, certainly. Shallow draft, finishes are nice but off the shelf for ease of maintenance. The joinery is well done. The bridge layout is familiar to anyone who has run a ferry or a commercial boat. Big beefy tall console, built for ease of repair and maintenance. I had to laugh at the commenter who wanted to see an integrated steering system in the chair like a z-drive tug's $40,000 throne. You can stick an arm in the cabinet to get at wiring where a pleasure boat won't let a screwdriver pass. The electronics are definitely original to the boat, robust but elderly and could use updating, but if it ain't broke what's the hurry? I didn't see an SSB radio or a Fireboy system- perhaps I missed it. I'm a big fan of mechanical controls and would have liked a view of the dash. What a boat, though. Really, it just needs a bit of on/off and a scrub, with some redecorating to be ready for a large family.
>>You can stick an arm in the cabinet to get at wiring where a pleasure boat won't let a screwdriver pass. This DOES depend on the pleasure-boat yard, some of them have great access to the components including wiring.
Stuff I like: Overbuilt, tons of comfort and storage, a pretty great platform for adventure seekers and divers in the Caribbean, the Med, or?? Stuff I like less: High windage, Hi CG. I suspect this would be difficult to handle in heavy weather and would probably move around a lot at anchor so you need a lot of swinging room.
An alternative solution to shipboard life and one that I might be persuaded by! I do have one concern though and it may not be an obvious one. My concern is with the high windage of the craft which is simply a function of the design. The problem with high windage is that it could adversely affect security of anchoring. I would definitely be looking for at least two extra heavy duty anchors with chains to match. Possibly even a stern anchor.
Love the stairway lifting up to the standup engine room. Thats about the limit to my budget. Unbelievable, looks like you could take that pretty boat to Antarctica. Man i need one.
20 gph with a range of 1000nm according to one listing 1200 gallon capacity you are not crossing oceans with this vessel. I do agree with you I prefer a simpler less gaudy design.
A 60' boat takes on a whole new meaning when the beam is almost 50 percent of the length. For me this may be the only type Cat. I would consider. I think it would appeal to those that prefer traditional boat design over the newer euro crap with the elliptical everything as design criteria.
One difference between Americans and Europeans and American boats vs European boats is European boats are hugely popular in the USA. But GOOD LUCK selling US boats in the EU.
@@miketee2444 Agreed, what I don't get is why I wrote that post. I think I was replying to someone who then deleted their comment. But yes you're right there are some excellent US brands that can compete on the global level. GB and CC are definitely up there. Boston Whalers are internationally popular too, very rugged beasts.
This is something I would want, Solid commercial quality that can go any place. I do not care for a 3 story wine cooler or custom Persian curtains etc. I'm all about function. I would think with all that extra surface area, I would cover it with solar and maybe diesel electric engines etc. but if I had that kind of money to afforded that, I'm thinking fuel would not be an issue...
What a brilliant vessel... wow...im speechless i love every nook of this catermeran, if only kevin kosner had this boat in water world 🌎 then he would of been unstoppable 😳
I think this would make an excellent platform for a motor-sailer but, instead of mast and sails, using an automated, self flying kite. Kites have many advantages. With an attachment point low down there’s little heeling moment. For a given area they provide more lift because a), they’re operating in higher wind speeds at altitude and b), they can increase the apparent wind speed by their flight across the wind. Also, I suspect that after prototyping costs, they would be cheaper. Far fewer $10,000 winches for one thing. If she has a 3,000 mile range under power, based on my own experience with a motor sailer, I’d be surprised if you couldn’t double that.
Dive charter school boat... Unless you are serious about living at high and low latitudes and can work remotely. Nicely finished conversion of what i assume would have originally been an off shore working boat design given the Portuguese bridge.
This boat used to do flyfishing charters in the Bahamas, based out of Nassau. It’s a Slooooow boat but comfortable, stable & efficient. They carried 2 skiffs and towed a….Venture…I’m mean, what else would a boat named Sleepless Venture have for a tender?
Very cool video, very complex setup and could be a maintenance nightmare. I like a basic boat, easy to sail, shoal draft, and easy maintenance and for those reason's we purchased a 2020 Corsair 880 Sport Trimaran. It's the perfect boat for our lifestyle down here in the Florida Keys. We live in a condo in Key Largo, Florida that has a full scale marina and each condo has there own boat slip. The slips are wide enough that I don't have to fold the pontoons in and each slip come with full hookups. For only being 29 feet long it has a very spacious cabin layout, big enough for 2 people to live aboard for a weekend cruise around the Florida Keys or a long sail to the Bahamas which we are planning to do next year...
That tour was really exceptionally nice the 60 ft expedition ship thank you but one little thing that got me was the bearings in bathroom fan that i heard was terrible thats one thing i replace immediately my Broan house fan is super quiet 🤫 otherwise rest was super nice like high class apartment.
Fascinating boat. Looks like it's been on charter in the BVI. Its 22 years old and needs lots of work. New electronics and a rethink. There isn't enough cabin space to make money as a charter boat - assuming the hull bunks are for crew.
2:09)Someone will trip over the exposed anker chain. A future lawsuit. 5:44)I saw a smaller boat with lift up stairs to access the engine room. Like "The Munsters'" main stairs. 8:25)Instead of empty space in front of the bridge, why not have the bridge there and give the pilot a better view? 10:48)People sitting on the starboard bench will have little legroom. Maybe better to place storage units. 12:05)No guardrail around the stairs. Lawsuit.
They're right. Buy a 30 then you need a 40. Buy a 40 now i need a 60. What a beauty mate. But im still laughing about the bow chairs etc. Just see myself having a beer triping over the anchor line and stepping right through that FN hatch.
Im a very utilitarian kinda guy and durability and logistics make sense to me for this stuff. I feel like it would be a comfy boat to live on for a while. That said... This thing is the Liberty ship of yachts, isnt it? haha
If not planning to travel to far out to sea, this is perfect. enough space for me, the captain (hopefully with a wife who is a chef") and a couple or so crew. Only issue I can see is food storage
The is like a cruise ship. You'd need to have considerable mechanical aptitude to keep her in-line. More yacht than 2 men can handle. I guess the draft is listed. Sea Cavern would be a befitting name. Which way to the pool?
Thinking about this boat as an expedition boat and actually living aboard it also makes me think that it needs a full-beam master cabin. Unfortunately, you'd lose both staterooms because there's nowhere else to put it.
A deal breaker for me is the lifting stairway leading to the port side technical area. It appears not to be sealed. As and when the rear deck is breached in heavy following seas that waters going inside the vessel! Or am I missing something?
Only thing it doesn't have is a mast and sails. That is one my requirements due to the outrageous price of fuel right now. I bet that big girl can chug some fuel.
Who would have thought that million dollar yacht would be docked at that modest home. I'd live fulltime on the yacht and offer up the house to relatives on their visits.

Is the boat a steel hull?

This is literally a utilitarian water-mansion. Way out of my league, but form follows function all over the place on this vessel, a joy to tour.
Looks like the kind of yacht research scientists would charter to dive on reefs for weeks at a times.
That boat would be my new permanent address for the rest of my life. I love that boat.

That tour was really exceptionally nice the 60 ft expedition ship thank you but one little thing that got me was the bearings in bathroom fan that i heard was terrible thats one thing i replace immediately my Broan house fan is super quiet 🤫 otherwise rest was super nice like high class apartment.
I know your a sail guy but Love the motor yachts. 😍
As far as boat tours are concerned watch a few and determine what people want to see in what sequence.
Fascinating boat. Looks like it's been on charter in the BVI. Its 22 years old and needs lots of work. New electronics and a rethink. There isn't enough cabin space to make money as a charter boat - assuming the hull bunks are for crew.
I could live on that boat! Gr8 vid Jordan! Thnx!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Interestingly named: "Slumber Venture." Sleep easy wherever one may fare?
Great Boat, needs some love.
this thing would make a great general float home.
2:09)Someone will trip over the exposed anker chain. A future lawsuit.
5:44)I saw a smaller boat with lift up stairs to access the engine room. Like "The Munsters'" main stairs.
8:25)Instead of empty space in front of the bridge, why not have the bridge there and give the pilot a better view?
10:48)People sitting on the starboard bench will have little legroom. Maybe better to place storage units.
12:05)No guardrail around the stairs. Lawsuit.
They're right. Buy a 30 then you need a 40. Buy a 40 now i need a 60. What a beauty mate. But im still laughing about the bow chairs etc. Just see myself having a beer triping over the anchor line and stepping right through that FN hatch.
A CRT in the middle of the helm station in the pilot house? How old is this boat?
Standard Furuno radar display from 2000 and earlier.
Absolutely astounding!
I was on this boat when it was under construction....first time I've seen it finished....
OK Boomer
Oh boy! Never let moisture take hold of the inside with all those seams.
Im a very utilitarian kinda guy and durability and logistics make sense to me for this stuff. I feel like it would be a comfy boat to live on for a while. That said... This thing is the Liberty ship of yachts, isnt it? haha
This is my favorite cat by far
If not planning to travel to far out to sea, this is perfect. enough space for me, the captain (hopefully with a wife who is a chef") and a couple or so crew. Only issue I can see is food storage
Great boat outstanding. Worth the price those homes that boat is berthed owning one of them helps with the up keep
Looks like a nice retirement or vacation home!
Good job, tour was great
The is like a cruise ship. You'd need to have considerable mechanical aptitude to keep her in-line. More yacht than 2 men can handle. I guess the draft is listed. Sea Cavern would be a befitting name. Which way to the pool?
Thinking about this boat as an expedition boat and actually living aboard it also makes me think that it needs a full-beam master cabin. Unfortunately, you'd lose both staterooms because there's nowhere else to put it.
WOW, great boat or Ship!!! The anchor and chain looks a little small to me.
That's what I was thinking
Excellent stuff bro
I think filming with your phone would yield a bit better video quality over the GoPro. May be worth a test run…
That engine room is so filthy, it looks like the boat sunk at one time.
Awesome vessel, love your work
For my (imaginary) million, I'd want the bridge 6-12 ft forward.
Beautiful boat
A deal breaker for me is the lifting stairway leading to the port side technical area. It appears not to be sealed. As and when the rear deck is breached in heavy following seas that waters going inside the vessel! Or am I missing something?
Dear friend. A Saloon is a BAR where whiskey is served. A Salon is everything you are calling a Saloon. Js
Only thing it doesn't have is a mast and sails. That is one my requirements due to the outrageous price of fuel right now. I bet that big girl can chug some fuel.
A CAT without a sail? No
Love it too!
That very top level up the ladder isn't where I would've chosen to keep the life boats. You think that would be easy to get to in a bad storm?
Who would have thought that million dollar yacht would be docked at that modest home. I'd live fulltime on the yacht and offer up the house to relatives on their visits.
That was incredible.
The area in front of the bridge Windows it's called a Portuguese Bridge. I don't know why but that's what it's called.
