A few people have asked whether there's a tour of the big blue one next to it? The answer is, yes of course. It's a Princess S65 and you can watch my full tour of one right here: ruclips.net/video/86t44i-XPs0/видео.html
Who would have thought there was such a useable cabin in that tiny hull! Thanks for showing smaller, less expensive boats. I love seeing all price ranges and not just the multi-million dollar dream boats.
The patchwork of teak decking at the cockpit really messes with my OCD! Great boat. Really love these sub 200k reviews. Makes it feel within touching distance for the average person
Excellent little boat. I’d need more refrigeration space for a weekends worth of provisions/beer. I always like an external grill, so when I’m cooking, I won’t smell up the boat. My RV’s internal kitchen has never been used. I only use the outside kitchen rain or shine. Loved the video Nick
Here in Asia, we always use internal kitchens (or galleys) of any kind to only boil/steam rice, prepare cornflakes and instant ramen. All the serious cooking (and smells) have to happen outside regardless the weather! 🤣🤣
You could probably get a little propane grill or butane cooktop for something like this. I don't really see an obvious spot where they could have added a grill
Nice boat, looks to me as a more "bare bone" version of the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095, for a lot less money. Day boat, weekend boat, fishing trip, does it all. Nice find Nick!
looks like a fine and proper boat for the money and nd a good mix between a sports boat and a cruiser. I would love to see or try this on the open water how it preforms Only the aft deck looks like a jigsaw puzzle with seams between that are begging to be cleaned with a toothbrush at the end of every visit.
Another versatile and rugged little boat with a monster V8 donk to push it around like a jet ski, love it, I think I want one. 😎 Very cool, great tour, thank you. 👍👍👍⛴🛳☠🛥🚤🏴☠️⛵🚢⚓😎
Thanks for a nice vid. Great boat, would prefer a diesel engine. I noticed one thing. 0:06 The outlet for self-draining-pipe-thingy comes out under the waterline. in my book that is not a good thing, especially during winter season....
Very interesting boat! quite a unique but fresh design. I would rather have a dark floor under the teak because with all the hatches it looks a bit fussy.
Absolutely love these boats, they got that little ship vibe to it, very impressed with the amount of storage provided by the OEM, not an inch wasted, the 360 view from inside is simply fantastic, what a little gem, and does 40 kts, only thing I would spec mine would be a bigger fridge or a second one, maybe a bbq in the bridge somewhere ? Lovely find Nick cheers !
I like these boats. Awesome first boat/small boat. Their slightly smaller versions are cool too, just smaller cockpit if I remember. Great tour as always Nick, thank you 👍
Versatility is the name of the game with this boat. What the owner needs on a day out this boat can do. Small boat with a big heart. I like the way you're reviewing such a variety of boats from small boats to super yacht.
Definitely also getting a bit of a Merry Fisher vibe with this one. Stainless steel chain instead of ropes on that anchor too. Pretty good value for the asking price!
Mate I love these videos, thank you for sharing other vessels. You are a class act to the industry. Others could learn so much from you from showmanship to integrity to presentation. Well done!
Hi Nick. It looks great, a mini explorer yacht with plenty comforts and practicality. Bit of a puzzle with the deck but nice styled hull. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
Very clever design. Packed a lot in. The price is amazing. I still prefer the more luxurious side of boating but this boat would still be lovely to own. Great vid Nick.
What an interesting weekender. There’s no one thing that stands out, but everything just works. Lovely. Of course an Aquaholic Tour, always adds to it.
Look out WEEKENDS - we are going BOATING. Rain or shine. Foul or fair. There'll be no reason not to go "out" EVERY weekend. Think about it - for less than the cost of an exotic auto you can go places a car can't (it's a tough go to make a hot soup and sandwich lunch while motoring down the highway). Plus, this is the class of boat that's suited for an outboard. And in fair weather, two families could have a jolly good time with the multiple, "convertible" spaces. Ticks all the boxes for a fun, practical, proper, pocket yacht - thanks Nick.
Looks like a good mix between fun and relaxation. I like seeing a functional swim platform on an outboard. Pretty nice for the price and a good step up from a 20ft bow rider. Thank you @Nick
Sweet can-do-all boat! Looks very high quality, for sure. Great for a fishing day with the mates, great for a weekend with the wife. Not every boat can do those very well. Cheers!
In a way, outboard engines are better then inboard engines on those smaller boats. It gives more space for people and storage when the engine hang om the back of the boat. And on small boats as this, that can make quite a difference.
That seems like very good value for money - not that I have that much money. Great utility boat. I think the hob was a Wallas diesel one. You can fit a lid on it which blows hot air across the hot plate and into the cabin and acts as a heater. Very clever and surprisingly effective.
What a superb boat. Just about everything you could ever want in a leisure craft. I wonder if it's towable...if it is, that would open up a raft of new horizons. Great tour - thank you Nick
nice boat. i'm starting to like the boats with the anchor controls and such below a deck panel. makes it sleek and less likely to stub a toe lol. good vid
Cute little boat Nick. They could perhaps have been a little bit more imaginative with the cabin & I’m not sure I’m a fan of the ‘crazy paved’ Flexiteek cockpit flooring! Yes I know it’s got lots of lockers but... Oh well at this price can’t grumble too much!!! 😃
Hi Nick, great boat, only issue is the sleeping fir a family of 4. It's a shame that they have not managed to make the second sleeping area a bit wider and higher. I would get rid of one or two of the lockers to get that extra space. Have a long locker on the side you access the boat for paddle board ect. That was 2 young children and 2 adults could go out and stay out for a few nights very easily. Outside of that it's an excellent boat with a lot of kit for the money.
Like Antares and Merry Fisher, you could lower the dinette table, fit a cushion and sleep a (non basketball playing) child. There's also canopy available for the cockpit, so you could sleep people there. A more fundamental issue, is lack of ventilation down below. Especially in the heads.Whomever decided to install a clear window, so anyone can see inside, but NO opening port light nor hatch, would seem to have been huffing a bit much of the result of that.......
Parker do slightly smaller boats too, and some of their second-hand boats are very affordable indeed. Worth checking out the many listings for them. Their Monaco 110 (more expensive than this it must be said) looks very classy indeed.
Princesses are stunning, aren't they! Even when covered up with tarp and out of the water, they still have a rather commanding presence just like that S65, I feel.
Needs more fridge, more water, solar and and a generator. Good news is there's lots of space for it. I think for $50K more it could be a great live-aboard.
hello from Seychelles. that looks like an amazing boat for our waters. a 300 engine is great. a 350 will push it better. looks like a great multi functional private boat
I quite like this boat for the size you get quite alot for your money ,deffo a boat you could just go away for a nice long weekend trip along the coast .Drop anchor sit and chill or even a nice bit of snorkeling weather permitting that is .
This video reminded me of what might have been the biggest mistake of my life so far. Years ago I was offered a interview for a job in boat sales and being a dumb kid, I declined because I didn't want to commute or move. If I had known how much they cost and how much I could have made in commission, I absolutely would have accepted the offer.

mean to say that Princess S65 been up for sale for over 18 months and the tub is just over 4 years old that's shocking
Is that a custom colour on that blue boat? I've not seen that style of boat in that colour before. It looks really good.
The one that you referenced has a white hull and yet this one is blue.... I confused...
I knew blue 🚤 it's beautiful 😳 WOW
@@FLGurl They make them in different colours.
"Parker?"
"Yes, m'lady?"
"Prepare the Explorer. I want to go for a swim."
"At once, m'lady."
Yes "M" Lady is a popular name for these boats. My 800 is called that!
My lady, it will be ready to depart by 9:20 A.M.
That is a great weekender with lots of versatility.
Who would have thought there was such a useable cabin in that tiny hull! Thanks for showing smaller, less expensive boats. I love seeing all price ranges and not just the multi-million dollar dream boats.
Thanks for watching!
i'm a simple guy, I see a new post by Aquaholic, i click.
Great tour and a lovely boat reminds me a bit about the Merry fisher 695.
A fair bit bigger though
Glad you enjoyed it
The patchwork of teak decking at the cockpit really messes with my OCD! Great boat. Really love these sub 200k reviews. Makes it feel within touching distance for the average person

Nice find Nick!
Yup. Definitely has that kind of vibe, doesn't it?
Pretty similar. I do like the larger deck area and a slightly smaller pilot house, hopefully you are spending more time outside than inside.
The 1095 has 3 cabins and 2 heads, but the 895 is pretty much like this one. Definitely a boat I’d like to think I might afford (used) in a few years.
looks like a fine and proper boat for the money and nd a good mix between a sports boat and a cruiser. I would love to see or try this on the open water how it preforms
Only the aft deck looks like a jigsaw puzzle with seams between that are begging to be cleaned with a toothbrush at the end of every visit.
Last time I was this early I didn't have an original comment either.
Have a nice day, Nick.
You too!
great little boat
Another versatile and rugged little boat with a monster V8 donk to push it around like a jet ski, love it, I think I want one. 😎
Very cool, great tour, thank you. 👍👍👍⛴🛳☠🛥🚤🏴☠️⛵🚢⚓😎

A great catch all multi purpose boat that looks like a jake of all trades and master of many.
Very interesting boat! quite a unique but fresh design. I would rather have a dark floor under the teak because with all the hatches it looks a bit fussy.
Totally agree!
Yeah, I thought exactly the same
Lots of joints for dirt to gather in too.
Style is quite standard here in Finland, nothing new.
That is a very neat boat at a really good price.
40 kts that is very impressive and versatile vessel too.
Love it. They look great with the forward raked windscreen and brow. It really makes the best of what could be quite a small pilothouse.
what a lovely boat......anfd I watch that princess review as well! 2 in a day!!!
Your genuine enthusiasm for the boats you tour is very pleasant to listen to and watch.
You're very kind :)
He would be a great sat nav voice, although no matter the destination you enter you'll aleays end up at a marina somewhere 😆👍
Thanks for continuing to bring us great boats Nick. All of our boat shows have been canceled this year, so you are my virtual boat show!
My pleasure!
Is a nice basic boat very practical and quick, thanks again Nick

Nice bit of kit for the weekend!!
I like these boats. Awesome first boat/small boat. Their slightly smaller versions are cool too, just smaller cockpit if I remember.
Great tour as always Nick, thank you 👍
See you changed your Rolex to and omega sea master great art piece nick 👍🏼

Much appreciated :)
What a great multi function boat, very well thought out. Great tour as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent starter boat just need to start saving now.
Great tour as always Nick 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Love it, A few small extras like the add on outside grill and larger fridge and weekend sorted. What a great boat.
I really like this show. Sir, you do a wonderful job at presentations. Love the wave in the mirror every time 😀
Thank you kindly
Hi Nick. It looks great, a mini explorer yacht with plenty comforts and practicality. Bit of a puzzle with the deck but nice styled hull. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
Great video! Unique boat!
Great boat! So many interesting choices out there...
Another great boat! All you need for a couple days away and a lot of speed to get some distance from home.
Everything on this boat seems very practical. I love it.
Great boat to start with loved it cheers Nick for showing us round.
Glad you enjoyed it
Seriously good value at that price!
Can we have more videos on these size of boats?
I like this boat a lot. I can easily see the whole family on this one
Very clever design. Packed a lot in. The price is amazing. I still prefer the more luxurious side of boating but this boat would still be lovely to own. Great vid Nick.
I was thinking it is very utilitarian as well. I can't find anything particularly wrong with it, but it just lacks the sex appeal.
And you would be correct. That is a great boat!!!
What an interesting weekender. There’s no one thing that stands out, but everything just works. Lovely. Of course an Aquaholic Tour, always adds to it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Small and compact with lots of storage Nick Sir... They used and every stop on ship... Looking stunning in Whites Sir
Looks like a good mix between fun and relaxation. I like seeing a functional swim platform on an outboard. Pretty nice for the price and a good step up from a 20ft bow rider. Thank you @Nick
Wonderful starter boat with an excellent layout. I’d love to have it. Thanks Nick!
Glad you like it!
Sweet can-do-all boat! Looks very high quality, for sure. Great for a fishing day with the mates, great for a weekend with the wife. Not every boat can do those very well. Cheers!

That seems like very good value for money - not that I have that much money. Great utility boat.
I think the hob was a Wallas diesel one. You can fit a lid on it which blows hot air across the hot plate and into the cabin and acts as a heater. Very clever and surprisingly effective.
A nice looking boat/small yacht.
Excellent little boat that has everything that you need, just in a slightly different format. I quite liked that!
Morning from So.Cal.
Hello there!
I like this one! Very versatile and looks like great fun! Thanks Nick!
Cool boat! Very unique design, but I think it works well! Great video Nick! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
What a superb boat. Just about everything you could ever want in a leisure craft. I wonder if it's towable...if it is, that would open up a raft of new horizons. Great tour - thank you Nick
nice boat. i'm starting to like the boats with the anchor controls and such below a deck panel. makes it sleek and less likely to stub a toe lol. good vid
I never watch boat tours from any other channel this one is the best!
Wow, thanks!
I really like this, I'd take it over an axopar. It's immensely practical and has a proper head
Good looking boat.
Great tour yet again Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it
So you own a Seamaster too. Nice.
Lots of features for a 30’ . Thxs Sir Nickolas 👍
Cute little boat Nick. They could perhaps have been a little bit more imaginative with the cabin & I’m not sure I’m a fan of the ‘crazy paved’ Flexiteek cockpit flooring! Yes I know it’s got lots of lockers but... Oh well at this price can’t grumble too much!!! 😃
What a great boat with great features, surprisingly roomy and fast. Great review Nick 👍
Nice vid Nick : )
Makes that wide beam river boat seem like amazing value for money by comparison.
'I think we're going to need a bigger boat!' Nice review.
That’s a fun little boat 🚤
Surprisingly spacious, especially considering how big the cockpit is.
Neat! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
The deck floor is quite impressive for such a cheap boat. It definitely offers a lot more than its price promises.
Hi Nick, great boat, only issue is the sleeping fir a family of 4. It's a shame that they have not managed to make the second sleeping area a bit wider and higher. I would get rid of one or two of the lockers to get that extra space. Have a long locker on the side you access the boat for paddle board ect.

Nick. Great boat but you missed out that large hinged locker astern. Tut tut.
That’s a great little boat...ideal for short breaks and days out on the water 👍
Great boat. Defo be on my list if funds allowed. Quality video nick.
Much appreciated!
Everyone looking at the big blue one next to it hoping you went on that one too 👀 😀 🛥
That is a Princess S65, and there is indeed a tour of one on my channel! 🙂
Yes! Looks goooooooooooood!
Princesses are stunning, aren't they! Even when covered up with tarp and out of the water, they still have a rather commanding presence just like that S65, I feel.
I think it’s poor design to put important switches above the stove burner could be a problem over time may be but great showing as usual
I just sold my house. Should I buy this and live on it? I should introduce the girlfriend to this channel.
Needs more fridge, more water, solar and and a generator. Good news is there's lots of space for it. I think for $50K more it could be a great live-aboard.
Must be fast. love your videos
Glad you like them!
Now that is nice. More affordable (lol). More manageable.
hello from Seychelles. that looks like an amazing boat for our waters. a 300 engine is great. a 350 will push it better. looks like a great multi functional private boat
It will look like a tender to the tenders at eden Island marina
Awesome
I feel van life videos have convinced me that I could live on a boat like this even though they are a bit small
This maybe could also be a large/all-weather tender to a superyacht; it's more than enough passenger seating to be used as such. Versatile :)
Love Alexia next to you, Princess S65 😍
I quite like this boat for the size you get quite alot for your money ,deffo a boat you could just go away for a nice long weekend trip along the coast .Drop anchor sit and chill or even a nice bit of snorkeling weather permitting that is .
pretty amazing 😁 One of the few things that could almost match this at about the price are the Beneteau Antares 11 and the Jeanneau 1095 😁
Great video as ever Nick - a decent amount stuffed into 30ft there!
Congrats with a new backpack!
Interesting little boat and like you say, a good first timer but I think it needs to be half the price.
Very interesting little craft again Nick and great tour as always mate 👍🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it!
They didn't waste an inch on this one.
When you have ir small, you gotta use it all!
Cool boat

If I had known how much they cost and how much I could have made in commission, I absolutely would have accepted the offer.
I would get a jeaneau merry Fisher 1095 but this boat is brilliant
