@@jamesmarkley1860 I generally refrain from engaging in discussions like this on YT. But simply put I enjoy it because historically and statistically African Americans don't own yachts . In all my years around boats up and down the east coast I can count on one hand how many yacht owners of color I have met or seen. So to see someone who looks like me purchase something I see as aspirational gives me joy ....
Great response. What IS believable is the selective indignation of YT folks who have such a big problem with Black folks asserting our Black identity when it comes to things that show a level of success. As long as we assert our Blackness in areas that they view as either OUR PLACE or are demonstrative of things they view as negative, we can be BLICKETY BLACK for all they care....
I don't want nor do I need a boat of this size, BUT for YOU my brother I am jumping for joy at your purchase. All of us crabs are not pulling at the coat tails to remain in the bucket, but some of us are pushing for our fellow brothers and sisters to be enlightened and excel. As for me, happy and excited for you brother and many blessings to you and your family.
Congratulations brother! I plan on buying a yacht once I retire in a couple years. I’ve watched dozens of yachting RUclipsrs over the past few years and yes you are the first brother I’ve come across to have a RUclips channel dedicated to yachting. Subscribed! One of the most important things you’ve shown in your video that I haven’t seen anyone else do is film the learning process of getting to know your yacht’s functions. That eliminates a lot of questions many viewers would have as well as not know to ask about. Thank you and perhaps we’ll run into each other sometime in the future.
@Black Boater - Sincere congratulation, dear sir! My wife and I are looking at a yacht. Hope to have the privilege in meeting you and family in the near future. Happy sailing!
All the way from Stony Creek Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 I just wanted to say that this was refreshing to see!!! Congratulations on your purchase and I just subscribed!
Your video came across my feed and I just had to subscribe!!! This is what my husband and I aspire to achieve as well!!! 5 year plan- rent our house out, move out of Atlanta, head to FL build a home and have a boat 😊
Congratulations, you are an inspiration! I’m considering buying (as a single woman) a used 36 or 40 footer this winter. The research I’ve done so far show the best deals seem to be in Florida. If you have any tips to share about what to look for in a used boat, please do. You are an inspiration🙏🏽
Congratulations my brother I know the feeling, purchased my first boat 8 months ago, 38 footer and we are enjoying it Not a yacht but very close Be safe and enjoy yourselves
I was just telling my guy u don’t see no brothers with boats just Hispanics and or course yt folk. This is phenomenal plus u giving me the extras. I’m out here in Baltimore , but I’m always in Annapolis n DC U see the same shit yt folk n Hispanics. I love how your breaking it all down Congrats!!!
Thanks for watching. I have some friends who boat in the Annapolis area. In Annapolis, there are quite a few Black boaters there who have raftups all the time. Baltimore even has a group of Black Boaters. You can look them up on FB. Seem to be real good people.
Congtrats. Man I’m jealous. I live in s. Fl on the water. The first shot of the boat running is right near my place. Working up to a 50+. It’s like a whole Apartment on the water. Where is home for you?
Thank you for this video. This inspires me I am aimimg towards getting a boat. I am certainly going to reach out and join your group before I get one. Thank you!!!!!!!!!
congratulations, beautiful boat. Hopefully you're an experienced operator, the pods are great for control and performance, but they have no protection so a log or even a soft grounding could rip one off and sink the boat. Just a word of caution, in no way wishing anything bad. Enjoy her, nothing better than traveling by water, most all boaters are friendly, good people.
Congrats! She's a beautiful yacht. Nothing like cruise in nice climate controlled helm when you need it. 3 State rooms in a 50' range is also a huge plus.
@@BlackBoater I have bro. You're living my dream for sure! I was looking at the blackfin 25 foot boat for when I retire! Golf and boating is hopefully in my future.
Congratulations on your new boat.. she really looks nice...I have a nice cruiser...but envious of you at the moment.. LOL.. enjoy...hope to hook up with you all when you head to the Bahamas the next time...
Well the big holes in the hull filled with glass are critical design flaws for me. ( the big windows into the staterooms below decks ) So, not to my taste but if it works for you, great.
As the son of a retired career Marine my family has always been involved in boating. Our first boat was a 15 ft wooden hull boat with a 50 horsepower outboard engine. Fast forward some 20 years and my father purchased a 1966 36 ft Chris Craft with twin gas engines that we spent several years restoring. Many years later we purchased another Chris Craft (project boat) this one a 46 ft with twin diesels. However work and other obligations did not allow us to renovate this particular vessel so we sold her. Fast forward another 8 to 10 years and we purchased a 30 ft Sea Ray cabin cruiser with twin gasoline engines but unfortunately this boat was destroyed (along with our entire Marina)in a hurricane. We eventually downsized to a 17 ft center console with a 90 horse Yamaha on the back. However due to health concerns we were no longer able to enjoy boating as we used to so we passed the boat along to another family member. So I know the joys headaches and hardships that come with the boating lifestyle and I'm proud to see others like me enjoying it too... Fair winds and following seas...🤙🏽
This is a great channel. I’m starting a channel called White Scuba Diver. Because race is very important as it applies to our hobbies and recreational activities.
as a black man that grew up with boats in the low 20 foot range with aspiration of buying a yacht like this, this makes me unbelievably happy to see
Same here.
I find it very interesting how you prefous this with "As a black man ".What does the color of your skin have to do with boating? Unbelievable!

Congrats are in order. It's nice to see an African American boat owner. Looking forward to viewing your future videos!
Why can't we get back to saying Black American ?
@@armanitransport2604 ...or Foundation Black American.
@@armanitransport2604why do we need to have labels period why it just can't be Americans?
Great question. I think the answer is that when everyone is TREATED the same, then we can ALL BE AMERICANS
@@BlackBoater Well said.
