- A proper 'little ship' yet well under 60ft - this one was well worth a closer look.

This boat is 20years old and the engine room as well as rest of the boat looks like made yesterday.
Someone loved this boat.
Had dough too....
Mmh, It’s nicely upheld but the design is clearly out of a different time
@@tistarrak242
A Timeless design
My dad built the engineroom, good to see it still looks great.
Much prefer this type of boat to the boring mega yachts. The sort of boat you could have adventures on. Brilliant, more please xxx
Absolutely
Agreed. This boat is much more practical, compared to the mega-yachts. Feels much more inviting.
AT least it doesn't look like a floating tupperware like so many of the modern design boats do
Never mind the multi-million pound megayachts you do tours of, this one is definitely my favourite so far!
Malcolm, I know. I saw this and thought, THAT is the way to build a yacht!
Mine too.
Your favorite with a 6mm thick steel hull??? Really??? You need a fuckin shrink dude. At sea Alum tin foil is more sturdy than a 6mm steel hull. Nobody sane would buy that demanding high maintenance mess up.
The price isn't bad. Though there are more modern boats that I would take over this one. You can find modern examples which still offer tremendous range (though perhaps not 5k miles) while being faster and which also offer better/more spacious interior layouts and engine rooms that aren't designed for 'little people'. Of course they also have higher price tags. I'd have to pass on this one.
Thanks that you let me have the superyachts
5000 mile range is just incredible for a vessel of this size. With a steel hull what more could one desire.
Maybe some inflatable yellow kayaks.
antony ward maybe some more freezer space? 5000 knots, at 5 knots is over 41 days. I don’t see anyway you could provision this boat for a trip like that.
@@barryfields2964 Freeze-dried meals? That should make a long passage seem even longer!
Better sharpen those fishing skills.🎣
@@simonhopkins3867 lol ! !
At sea fresh fruit & vegetables replenishment.
It seems almost ownable. The workbench sold me.
Also an ironing board ! Nobody ever buys an ironing board but everybody's got one, how does that work?
andy elliott: Ask your significant other. This day and age we’re not allowed to call them wives....
@@PhilbyFavourites Yes we are, I'm not falling for all that left wing snowflake B/S. I've been around too long for that, I've raced cars ( and survived), brought up children (and survived) and now have three grown up children and four grandchildren ( number 5 on the way). So being told what to call things by snowflakes who've never lived is something I'll happily ignore.Cheers Phil.
All yachts need a workbench.
andy elliott well said
I have been watching hundreds of yacht videos. I have never seen a boat that I instantly fell in love with as I have with this one.
The new Nordhavn 41 is the only other boat that I instantly fell in love with. I’m guessing the 41 would be cheaper to operate regarding fuel and maintenance.
Same!
If I was a multi millionaire, I would probably still opt for this boat. It's got the range I would want and is something I think I could handle without a crew if I desired.
if you want range and crewless maintenance just get a silent yacht
But you are not
@@roberthoos8556 that why he said "if i was",i reckon you cant comprehend shit
These tours are my favorite. I love trawlerboats like this one and Nordhavens and even Nordic Tugs. This whole idea of traveling the world is fascinating.
Thank you for this great tour!
Greetings from the Netherlands 👋🏻
Berrus81 I second that!
Hey there the Netherlands! :)
At 5 knots cruise speed, you’ll need lots of time. Seriously, that’s just too slow.
vondahe Good point, but if you’re going like 20 knots through the water you’re gonna be constantly stressed about everything. It just depends on what reason you want the boat
@@vondahe that's for max range... You're completely ignorant
Long time since I've seen her. Last time was probably when my dad took it from Guernsey back to the shipyard. Really bad weather, but she took it like a champ.
What a fantastic piece of engineering.
The range of 5000NM is simply amazing and I would rather be in this boat in bad conditions than a lot of the yachts you review on this channel.
Great Video as always thanks Nick!
It would be awesome if you could make a special about the Frisian/Dutch steel boat industry. We owned a Grouwster Vlet before moving to the UK and it was an incredible boat. This Altena shows how excellent Dutch smaller ships/boats are - a lot of focus goes to the superyachts, but the sector below is far more interesting in my opinion!
Thank you for finally telling me that what round window thing was! I have wondered for years what it was!
Same here.
They also use these on CNC machine to see inside while coolant splashes everywhere.
Seriously didn't know what a clear screen was
Yep. This is the one. It has the range, the looks, its not too expensive, it's the proper size... Great video of this stunning boat!
That's my kind of boat, forget the plastic gin palaces, this is the boat I want when the weather is shit!! And a good price!
I'm not even in the market for a boat and this somehow became one of my favourite channels. Now I am considering buying something like this.
You don't usually skip the galley, Nick, but this time you just pointed to it and that is all!! But still, great boat.
Definitely one of your most classic episodes.
Watching your straightforward pleasant presentations is already part of the voyage
That's the type of vessel I would own. Sturdy, nice interior but not gaudy! I love the layout too. I really like having the salon open to the helm so everyone can enjoy the goings on!
Very nice presentation!
SHe appears to be a no-excuses, flawlessly maintained world cruiser. It really is lovely to see something as immaculate as that, considering the use to which it is put. A true expedition-class vessel for a discerning buyer.
As expected, Dutch made boats are one of my favorites. What I do like most is this real ship like feeling you have for long distance cruising. 5000 miles on a boat like this makes you feel safe no matter the weather conditions you will encounter on the way 👍👍👍
I must admit to having one hell of a soft spot for off-shore-capable "little ships". This is definately a very nice example of the breed. I really like the fact that they managed to squeeze in four seemingly comfortable single berths in addition to the owners cabin on a boat like this thats "only" 50 feet. Of course, bunk beds might be a tad off-putting for the older, less mobile, potential guests, but thats not nesseserly a bad thing depending on ones relationship with the in-laws.... :D
I can definately see myself selling the house and living onboard something like this when I retire and have more time to cruise around at 5 knots. (not that the cruising speed 7,5 on my current boat is particularly fast either :) )
That's a great boat! Of course, Nick is one of the few people that could do it justice. Great tour!
The only thing I like more in this than the Nordhavn 57 is that it has a laundry. But you can always instal those in the huge engine room of the Nordhavn 57. All in all I love the original interior, it's so relaxing and explorer type! Love the vid Nick thanks again!
Appreciate your wearing socks. So many hi-end $, rude brokers traipse around in their ugly "bare feet." Thanks for the tour.
This is my favorite tour so far. This is a boat made to be used and not just staying in the harbor looking pretty. I would love to have something like this to travel up and down the coast.
6mm steel that boat.. WHAT. 200m ship are made from 8mm for ice condition.. That is really survivors boat.
ThePuliUkko when it capsize it won’t matter
@@martinkulik9466 Hristos
@@martinkulik9466 it's built like a lifeboat; all the weight is down low and the watertight hatches above keep the air in. It naturally wants to return upright every time
Felice Graziano yeah but you have to remember to only ship with the doors closed hahaha
@Gavin Claassen But you have to remember that freighter is being stressed by having so much weight put into it.
This is pretty much empty, outside of a party of 1000pound women get together with food enough to feed them, 🤪🤔
I was an intern at the company where they made these. Amazing craftsmanship
I really like the redundancy capabilities of having that wing engine and its own separate shaft and propeller. Reminds me of my work years ago in the engineering spaces of Navy ships (we had backups of almost every system). Another Fantastic tour, Nick! Thanks!
I wonder. A lot of smaller workboats built this way have twin keels with two mains. Each main would have less HP than the single used here but they could probably get the boat going a knot or two faster than this 'wing' engine without needing the rudder as much to keep things lined up. With the higher HP on the 'spare' main you can run a big alternator making most all of your power needs as well. Two identical mains would reduce the spares inventory and you only need to know how to service one type of engine. That Cat engine is great but any serious issues would need a qualified CAT mechanic, engines like the John Deere are designed to be serviced by farmers, rugged but simple. I have more than a little experience running real ships with only one screw turning and they can be as nasty as twin engine aircraft under the same situation.
@@henryostman5740 Good point on only having to know one type of engine if twins were installed. I think the wing engine idea has its merits to, even if a completely different system. Considering it is a "get me home" engine, it would probably have much fewer operational hours on it and thus be reliable when needed. Also, it takes up less space in a smaller vessel as compared to twin engines of a larger size. Also significant is that the wing engine has its own driveshaft and propeller that can come into play if there is damage to the main shafting and prop. It would be a fuel miser too as compared to twins (plus if twins were installed you'd want to carry more fuel probably resulting in a lessening of cabin or other space onboard). Despite some drawbacks like overhaul knowledge and spare parts I am still a fan. There is nothing quite so reassuring as a second, independent system ready to go--especially offshore. Nick has brought us another fantastic tour, as always!
Sensible practical & unpretentious just what I would be looking for if I could afford it.
Like this style and engineering a lot. Nice mini ship, comfortable and no goofy stuff to break, no bizarre artwork, just functional comfort. I’d probably just hang off the coast for weeks at a time with that range. But then again I can only afford a mid range canoe!
That engine room layout is the best feature of that boat, it's great to see headroom as well as a well thought out work space.
I worked for caterpillar and those engines are rock solid units !! What a engine room too, make my cabin half the size and increase the engine room !! Great vid as usual buddy
Thanks Stuart! :)
I was actually kinda thinking the same thing, except run the draft deeper so that I can stand up straight in the engine room.
why I am addicted to watching these boat tours, I cant stop watching
That's one heck of a boat! I really love the older style look it has. And that range, wow, that's amazing!
Of all the boats I've seen so far, this one is my favorite.
I love this little workbench in the engine compartment. Really cute.
Update the electronics and put in safelight TV and quality internet capabilities and you have something you could never get tired of.
The woodwork with round and gentle corners everywhere, No Space is wasted, Towel-heater, A Heating-System which really deserves the Title, Workbench in the Engineroom, ....Love it, but to be honest - the last presented Nordhavn with the Bedroom behind the Brigde was or is at last my favorite Expedition Trawler Yacht from your Chanel - Good Video and also a fine Yacht!
A superb tour, what a wonderful old lady. Thank you
These heavy duty explorer yachts are built exactly for what I would want a yacht for. Specially those nordhavens. Got to love the little ships.
Hey, I love your boat tours, and I share your excitement when you showed us the engine room, I was the same “check this out, what a beauty!” I loved the salty looks and the seaworthy capabilities. I just loved it. Well done, you actually made me drool over this boat!
I believe you have shown us a boat with a major interior/electronics update! The ensuites look to be contemporary today. AND I found this ship well worth a second look. Taste without 'Flash.' 'Boaty' boat woodwork. Plenty of room to work on things under way. Splendid! THIS ONE IS ON MY REPLAY LIST!
I assume you can update/ upgrade autopilot and steering?
This is 1 of my favorites that you have shown so far.Great video,great little ship.You can get the live aboard vibe on this one.it has an around the world vibe.
Not bad. Can very well see its a safe offshore boat. Very sturdy. Like a small Nordhavan. Good for a couple or family with kids.
Nice video. Thankyou.
Cracking boat and range. I don't know much about boat prices but this seems great value for 445k.
That is a real boat. I would wander the globe and enjoy every moment with this beauty.
My absolute favorite boat..
The multimillion dollar yachts are always nice to look at, but something about traveling the world in this seems so appealing.
This is easily now my favourite channel! Thanks for the regular uploads Nick, you're doing a fantastic job, I never miss an upload. Please keep them coming!
Thanks Richard, that's very kind of you
Absolutely loved it!! I've often wondered how these boats guard against RUST and wow 14 anodes does it also have a galvanic isolator fitted for when moored up near other steel boats. Serious little boat for the true enthusiast.
That is a really cool engine room. Like a yachtsman's garden shed. Brilliant
Would love to see a more modern version of this kind of boat. The possibilities really spur the imagination
I keep coming back and watching it again. I have daydreams about owning this boat!
I love your videos, Nick. You have stirred up an interest for boats in me that I never even knew I had. I’ve noticed that your channel is growing steadily too. Keep up the good work!
Thanks :)
After watching this video I started calculating my journey to Brisbane Australia. I realized it would be possible to make this trip with the proper stopping points with plenty of fuel to spare in case we ran into issues on the way...
Wow! What a nice and strong boat! Still more than I could afford but that 6mm steel hull is something else!
I feel more secure in that boat than I do in my house.
Maybe if your house was on dry land...?
@@tedthesailor172 actually it's in a cave.
@mike force You got that right and you are definitely clairvoyant , locust.
foforce Nearly? I'm not even close if I'm replying to your comments, Clair.
@Igor M Seriously dude?
That was a fantastic look, insight, into a real gem of a boat, loved the engine room. Thank you.
I really love the deep run sea faring boats.. a lot of thought going into traversing long stretches of the globe.. clever ways to deal with survivable utility yet squeezing technology to achieve comfort in challenging conditions. A marvelous vessel.
I love the vibe of a trawler it gives you with some of the design elements. Also the computer area is very nice.
what immaculate condition.! so nice to see a boat thats been well looked after . the only negative for me is lack of direct access into the saloon area from the rear deck
This guy is to boating what Murray walker was to formula one.........Excellent as usual.
Far and away my favorite style of boat. I would charter one of the big sports cruisers, but to own... I’d want a long range expedition style cruiser.
My favourite boat you've reviewed so far.
First boat I’ve seen with a boiler with forced draught burner on it! Love it
In the engine room? I didn't notice it.
Is it just for central heating?
Love the interior of this. Absolutely beautiful.
This was my favorite boat you have toured so far. Something about this
That mirror finish navy blue on the hull looks superb and 5000m range at 5 knts...amazing.
Love a little ship! Please do more tours on them!
Wonderful seeing this uploaded, thanks for your efforts
Elegant tug boat.
Can't remember the kids-TV-type stuff I watched as a kid that always had very cute little tug boats that I always loved watching.
Thank you for making these dude! Entertaining good quality etc etc!
Always love seeing the small engineering areas with a workbench and proper tools, that can be a really useful thing to have in a pinch.
for very very short persons in the engine room ...look how there is no space for adult ... only for childs.....
Well i read the comments it is a matter of taste, exellent video again. This is a very beautiful boat, it has everything someone needs
This is the kind of boat that doesn’t turn All heads....ONLY those that know!!! What a beauty...lovely tour by the way AS ALWAYS, thank you
By the way...along the lines of this boat, have you ever had that chance to review the Elling E6? It’s not as big, but boy does it pack some great features for the price. And a Class A1 boat as well....so ready for some serious traveling. Would love to have your views on it sometime. Cheers and many thanks ...
Correction....LOL....I just found you actually HAVE reviewed the Elling E6....cheers
What a cruising machine!
Seems like an affordable waves terminator.
Another great video.
OMG I saw thew thumbnail and I just had to see more of that boat. I am in love!
I much prefer this traditional interior to the luxury yachts. It actually feels like you're on a boat and not a hotel.
I've probably watched this video seven times. Definitely my favorite boat on your channel. If I ever come into money this will be my first and only purchase. Who needs a house if you have a boat like this? Even if it's not on the market, in my imaginary world where I have money, I'll have an identical boat built. But since it will be the future I will have the hull made of titanium.
My favourite yet! W A N T !!!! I may not be welcome in Monaco, but I'll be smiling in the mid Atlantic :)
Abso-freakin'-lutely!
This thing is an absolute beast!
I love when I spot your white backpack. I’m going to name it. It deserves something proper ... constant companion and video bomber. Oh, and this ship is in my top 5 favorites
What an amazing little ship.It's obvious from what I saw that she's been very well taken care of and hides her age wonderfully. This is something that is rare in today's world and I say that because of her asking price. To me should would be worth every penny and I doubt I would even try to haggle on asking her price with the owner. Truly magnificent little ship as you say and it fits...
Thank you for the awesome tour...
I have seen a number of videos of Dutch working boats dating back to before me and then some and they are still working. Some originally had steam engines generally converted to diesel way back when, and the Dutch diesels last forever as well. What I'm getting at is that a tough steel hull, a stout industrial engine, and with reasonable maintenance, this sort of vessel should last forever in yacht service, it may not look fashionable but so what?
Good looking ship for a 2 decades old boat! Somehow it reminds of an earlier video you showed of a 2016 Nord 52. A lot of similarities from the wood laden deco, the wide side decks and the "carvenous" engine rooms. Both have 200+ hp main engines and a back up too. Seems like this Dutch build is a close cousin of the Nords. However with due respect I think despite only a 1 ft advantage the Altena has the edge over the Nords for cabin accommodation. I'd say overall considering the price it's worth a buy (if I have the money). Well done Nick!
What a cracking little ship...I feel safe just looking round it, even the door hinges have grease nipples on, not seen them for years.
2:25 never heard of that windscreen thing, but thanks for the info, another learning moment for me!
This man is the best in what he does!
What a beautiful wood on the interior ! And what a bargain!! It is a bit 90s inside, but I think that adds a cool nostalgia factor !
This is a proper vessel, just magnificent!
You know it'll be good when there's dutch steel in the topic
Very impressive boat reminds me of the old RN Bird Class which were a little larger and painted grey!
Great video! Great Vessel! Besides emergency get back to shore motor I do feel the smaller motor also keeps the vessel head on into the waves! Just in case the main motor fails in heavy weather!
Terrific boat and in the right hands could handle almost anything. Very impressive.
One of my favourite channels at the min.
Great content.
I hope your channel grows mate.
Thanks Tommy :)
I've noticed older boats used space so well...
A navigator area/ workstation then in the engine room a tiny workshop space etc. In newer yachts/ boats it's just put a sofa everywhere and anywhere.
agree with the other comments - this is real quality/ proper adventure / no shouty look at me styling... solid - more of these please
Superb, thanks for the tour of that wonderful vessel.
Love this both in terms of practicality and of my dutch heritage
THIS is THE boat for me . It is a REAL oceangoing explorers boat .
