Keep in mind that it is 15yrs old. It's the thing you can't see, electrical, plumbing, through bungs, that will cause problems. Like an old car with great paint and exterior. But under the hood plastic and rubber items are worn because of age. How much pounding has the hull taken? Etc etc.
It's funny how we never really "feel" like we're getting old, because my reaction is similar, "2006, that's pretty new . . . wait that's 15 years ago!" I don't feel old enough to think something 14-15 years old is new. I blame my kids.
In 2006 Sunseeker built one of the best boats available - for 2021 - a timeless creation. No kidding, this beauty boat is as contemporary as a clever Reddit posting, yet built 15 years ago. Quality is ageless - literally, if the builder is Sunseeker. I'll bet the lit up name on the back would light up "Smugglers Blues" even brighter. THIS is it, Nick.
Thank you for this amazing visit. The idea of making real a 75 y old man's dream, of living aboard much of his remaining time is being constantly blocked by greedy considerations (age makes dreams an extravagant thing...), but some examples are unavoidable temptations. This one is. Absolutely.
This popped up while I was at work, I had to spend the rest of the day knowing it was there whilst being unable to watch it. Thanks for keeping them coming.
Now that is a beautiful boat in immaculate condition. Amazing accommodation for its size and a testament to Sunseeker’s quality of build, fit and finish. Thanks Nick for a fab review.
“Not in the market at the moment” walks to the sales office and cry’s that he’s not bought it🤣 after the passion in that review I’m sure it won’t take long to sell Nick. Lovely boat.
Hi Nick. This is definitely a contender, beautiful wood, in good condition. Sporty looks, 700hp 40 knots is lightning fast. Lovely boat. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊
This boat is in awesome condition and great job in showing this smaller, more affordable motor Yacht. I have watched Nautistyles channel and they look down on smaller and make condescending comments in my opinion. When someone constantly says oh this little area is so cute and you wouldn’t be embarrassed at all to have your friends over for the weekend by owning this boat. 👎🏻👎🏻 smaller boat let upkeep and more affordable.
Firstly. What a beautiful well looked after boat. So impressed. Someone has cherished it. Secondly who the hell disliked this video? Mind boggles. Thirdly Nick you need this boat. I’ll make you a promise. If I win the lottery tonight she’s yours. Fantastic tour. Have a great weekend Nick.
Just so you know, there are some trolls who spend their whole time clicking the dislike button on any and all videos. They think they're rebels and rad where they're just knobs. It doesn't actually mean anything.
I can really appreciate how much content Nick gives us and the Motoholic channel considering the lockdown of the past year. Always out and fighting to give us boating enthusiasts content. Aquaholic is one of the only ones still putting out quality content, not that I watch the others lol. I certainly do marvel the lengths Nick, Jack and Maggie go through to gives us our fix. Thanks Aquaholic.
Always loved Sunseakers, this for me gives you the perfect balance between a usable family and sports boat. Also a great size, large enough to cope and give you space, small enough to have some fun with and enough HP to do so. Thumbs up in every respect for this one.
This is my favourite Aquaholic - that boat is immaculate, stylish and just about obtainable. I can see myself and the kids enjoying something like this hugely. Fantastic and just the thing to let you dream. Polished cherry wood mmm...
I've always loved these walkthroughs, have made me absolutely fall in love with the idea of boating and even being a live-aboard. And seeing beautiful boats like this make me even think that it might even be something I can afford one day, putting the idea squarely in the realm of 'possible. Excellent as always, Nick!
Nick. You are always positive and full of energy. But there was a little extra bounce in your step on this one. Could easily tell you were excited. When you stepped down into the salon, wow, nice. Beautiful woodwork. I certainly agree on this one. What a lovely boat.
This boat hits the sweet spot for me. Not too big not too small. Your boat is fantastic as well. These are my two favorites. Yours has the single engine which I like. Better fuel economy, maintenance costs, and still big enough. Greetings from the U.S.A. Love your channel.
@@AQUAHOLIC How about the classic Sunseeker manhattan 48. Similar price, flybridge, 3 cabins, reliable caterpillar engine. Lot of boat for little money.
Wow!!!! 15 years or so old & looks superb still just love the craftsmanship in Sunseekers & really like the use of space for the 2nd cabin. Been watching these fantastic films for just over a year now I was wondering Nick what is in store for this year. I really like the canal/longboat vids & love the interiors of the yachts. I would like to see more trawlers & Scandinavian boats if you get the chance. Thanks again Nick for taking the time to make & share these great videos....
Do it ! You know you want to, in the same way that you'd knock down doors to have it, I'm sure there would be a substantial queue to knock down your door to be the next proud owner of smugglers blues 2. Love your channel and I keep buying those tickets lol.
Presumably a larger, more expensive, more complicated 2006 is more of a risk/liability than a simpler 2006 boat. I'd always be worried I was buying a 15 year old money pit! Great video nick!
I’m so tired of 2020 and also 2021 so far. I can see myself setting off into the sunset on this with a few good friends for a few weeks! Sun, water and a relaxing time! And of course cocktails 🍹!
I started watching your vlogs about a week ago and they have me hooked, just love watching them and really makes me want to learn how to drive a boat. Cannot afford a boat but so want to learn, amazing video you're a great inspiration. Kind of find these video calming, rewarding, well done and keep up your amazing videos...even if some of us cannot afford a boat we can watch these vids and makes us believe we are on them with you.. amazing...
This is a fabulous little yacht. And that price is akin to thievery....thievery I tell you!! Sunseeker did themselves proud with the fit and finish; reminding the owner they hadn't merely bought a small yacht, they'd bought a Sunseeker. And this isn't Smuggler's Blues III, Nick. No. This is Smuggler's Blues III's tender!
Another lovely "affordable" boat Mr Burnham. It will look right at home cruising up and down the English Riviera. If you bought it you could always rename it by adding the letter N and word Very and name it after your favourite phrase... cheaper than calling it Smugglers Blues 3. Keep them coming Nick !
Immaculate condition for 15years old. Owners have certainly taken good care of this.. gotta be a contender for Smugglers Blues III. 😉..Another great video as always Nick.. 🛥️🛥️
Great video; I so enjoy these ''affordable'' boat tours up to about £500k, especially the older 2nd hand boats; and if you could edit in some shots of the boat sailing even better- old advertising material maybe - so we can see the lines away from the jetty? Really enjoy your work, I try and watch before starting my work in the mornings!!
I'm starting to think Jaques has a better life than me at the moment! This is a beautiful boat clearly well loved by it's owners. Have a great weekend, Nick.
This Yacht pushed me over the edge, and I finally hit the subscribe button!!! I really love the living space and not one, but two state rooms!!! I can see traveling up and down the west coast, from Vancouver to Monterey, to Del Mar to Mexico. I'm impressed!!
i never see any hate in the comments or on this channel, amazing job nick creating a great community to relax and escape everyday bs
We don't allow nasty people to join our special club! 😄
This a dream channel
Probably because there are almost no childs (although not mentally) here. They're not interested in something like this. Keep it like that 😁.
@@denjo3131 lol ima kid haha but ik what ur saying
@@peterlafrance5392 well, sometimes, mentally I'm also still a kid 😉. And physically, I'm non that old, in my twenties.
I keep having to remind myself that 2006 was 15 years ago. This boat looks like it has been fantastically taken care of!
@covid 19 bulshitt Probably around 350-400k. Nice name by the way.
@covid 19 bulshitt Yes I do and fully agree with you. Nice to meet you!

@@DashcamCCTVfootage I agree, both on the price and the name. LOL
For a 35-footer, SUNSEEKER hit a home run with this, as specified. The interior finishing and the layout is OUTSTANDING!
By far the best looking 35 foot boat I’ve ever seen. Awesome layout ,beautiful woodwork.
Great boat. Such a nice guy too.
I've gone from not watching any of his videos to around 20 in 2 days. Brilliant. I really want a boat now.
What a brilliant first boat. Once again Nick you have done us proud. Thank you very much
This boat reminded me very much about my brothers sunseeker boat,nothing better then sitting on a boat like this and enjoy a sunny day boating
This is a fantastic boat. The inside is better than a lot of modern boats in terms of sleeping. This is one of the better ones you have shown us.
Easily the nicest, and most timeless older boat you've shown. Brilliant.

I love your enthusiasm. It's really easy to watch someone talking with passion.
This popped up while I was at work, I had to spend the rest of the day knowing it was there whilst being unable to watch it. Thanks for keeping them coming.
Hope you enjoyed it!
That is a splendidly designed boat. And the blue/white color scheme is timeless.
I LOVE your videos. You seem to be very thorough. And your little waves in the mirrors make it even better and make me smile every time I see it
Thank you so much!
I love the big ships, but as a small town guy I appreciate small boats like these. Keep it up, love what you do!
Thanks, will do!
Two boats in one Nick. Modern look on the outside. Classic Sunseeker wood finishes down below. Can't go wrong. 👍👍
Wow, definitely was not expecting that level of comfort and style in the cabin! Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love looking at these smaller boats. The creative use of limited space is incredible
Now that is a beautiful boat in immaculate condition. Amazing accommodation for its size and a testament to Sunseeker’s quality of build, fit and finish. Thanks Nick for a fab review.
You're welcome! :)

This boat looks perfect! The interior still looks brand new! I wasn't expecting her to be able to go 40 knots, this is a real speed machine!
Just get her, Nick! She's got your name written all over it!
Just the one small issue... 😄
@@AQUAHOLIC I would consider it a smart investment.
Time to start a GoFundMe page for SBIII
Get it Nick... how many people can say they own a Sunseeker??
“Not in the market...”. Come on Nick. It’s time and you know it. Let go of some of that $$$ in your wallet.
I am really surprised I can't find someone in the U.S. doing what you are doing. I have learned so much about the different boats from you.
Firstly. What a beautiful well looked after boat. So impressed. Someone has cherished it. Secondly who the hell disliked this video? Mind boggles. Thirdly Nick you need this boat. I’ll make you a promise. If I win the lottery tonight she’s yours. Fantastic tour. Have a great weekend Nick.

Love how they managed to fit a reasonably spacious and well laid out guest cabin in there. Sunseeker really did a good job on this one!
The "small" boats tours are the best!
Love that 2nd cabin, almost rather be down there than in the master!
Always loved Sunseakers, this for me gives you the perfect balance between a usable family and sports boat.
Also a great size, large enough to cope and give you space, small enough to have some fun with and enough HP to do so.
Thumbs up in every respect for this one.
cracking boat love classic sunseekers defo got Smuggler's Blues 3 written all over it Nick keep up the good work Greg.
What a lovely blend of sports styling and accommodation. The sympathetic upgrades really work! Nice!
This is my favourite Aquaholic - that boat is immaculate, stylish and just about obtainable. I can see myself and the kids enjoying something like this hugely. Fantastic and just the thing to let you dream. Polished cherry wood mmm...
Im addicted to these videos, its amazing how they can get so much room out of such a smallish boat. 💪👏

Glad you like them!
Watched two dozen of your videos this weekend and this is the most impressive boat yet. Two cabins? Unbelievable.
Okay this is a beautiful boat Nick so much room for her size be perfect new smugglers and great tour as always mate thanks 👍🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
Nick. You are always positive and full of energy. But there was a little extra bounce in your step on this one. Could easily tell you were excited. When you stepped down into the salon, wow, nice. Beautiful woodwork. I certainly agree on this one. What a lovely boat.
I like this boat.
This boat is very spacious, cozy.
The type of boat I will buy-in 2-3 years tops.
Just by his presentation, I'm sold,
it's been 3 years. we're dying to know, did you buy it?
What a lot of boat for a 35 footer,classic design without being out of date,loved the cabin. Great tour,thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
That's a really nice boat for 15yrs old. Love the two cabin layout.
That boat is drop dead gorgeous. I'm in love. I really hope you can make this one Smugglers Blues III so we can see more.
Not too big not too small just the perfect size. And it's a flying machine 10/10 👍
This boat hits the sweet spot for me. Not too big not too small. Your boat is fantastic as well. These are my two favorites. Yours has the single engine which I like. Better fuel economy, maintenance costs, and still big enough. Greetings from the U.S.A. Love your channel.
*Shows a Sunseeker"

*Shows a Princess"
Nick: "CLASSIC Princess!"
*Shows a Nordhavn"
Nick: "CLASSIC Nordhavn!"
Lovely
Only the classic ones though...
but you did see the official Sunseeker utensils.
For me this is classic aquaholic
@@AQUAHOLIC How about the classic Sunseeker manhattan 48. Similar price, flybridge, 3 cabins, reliable caterpillar engine. Lot of boat for little money.
CLASSIC NICK!
Nice Nick, a great getaway weekender boat for a couple and friends. love it.

Out of the few thousand boats I've seen its still my favorite boat of all
Wow wonderful Nick Sir.. It's elegant and wood work is awesome.... Used small places very well..
LOOKING ELEGANT NICK Sir...
Do it ! You know you want to, in the same way that you'd knock down doors to have it, I'm sure there would be a substantial queue to knock down your door to be the next proud owner of smugglers blues 2. Love your channel and I keep buying those tickets lol.
Just amazed by the clever use of space inside and the quality
Presumably a larger, more expensive, more complicated 2006 is more of a risk/liability than a simpler 2006 boat.
I'd always be worried I was buying a 15 year old money pit! Great video nick!
That's the trade off against the higher price of a newer boat
How did I miss this one? Absolutely wonderful. Your boat tours are fantastic, Nick. I love this one. 🙌🙌
Thanks so much!
A year later even, this one had passed me by, and Nick's videos usually pop up quickly for me. This 35ft boat has seriously impressed me. Bob. 👍🤔
Thank you for the tour Nick, quite the impressive vessel!
Glad you enjoyed it
Lovely boat, very good job Nick! Touching my heart because I saw the same boat in Mgarr Gozo last year. Thanks!
Yes!!!! Cant wait for a purchase and indepth review on this one Nick! Go for it mate.
you've fallen in love with this one Nick............not surprised
I’m in love, what a absolutely stunning and beautiful boat, and the price has certainly got me thinking more seriously then ever before.
I’m so tired of 2020 and also 2021 so far. I can see myself setting off into the sunset on this with a few good friends for a few weeks! Sun, water and a relaxing time! And of course cocktails 🍹!
I love watching these tours but at 6' 7" I think I'm doomed not own one. Love your channel and always fun to watch.
That interior is just gorgeous!!
A brand new cool tour, thank you Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the first boat of this size that I've actually liked. especially how the forward cabin has its own door. As Nick would say, "Excellent".

Lovely boat! Like the cabin, very classy!
Beautiful, so much more space down below than I expected.
My family had 06’ portofino 46. Loved it. Now rocking with 08’ predator 62
Lovely !
Great boat, did love that middle cabin ❤️ thx for nice video
Thanks for watching
Lovely, looks well loved and cared for. That would be a great week-ender!
Great vid as always, glad to see you're doing well! Love the boat.
Thanks 👍
Very well maintained, looks great. Thanks again Nick for the review.
My pleasure!
They look so small from the outside but when you get inside, they are amazing
This is a fabulous little yacht. And that price is akin to thievery....thievery I tell you!!

And this isn't Smuggler's Blues III, Nick. No. This is Smuggler's Blues III's tender!
As always, a fantastic tour! I think that the design of this is amazing, especially the inclusion of the second cabin! Brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it!

40 kts ‼️ geez. very nice Nick. Have a good weekend 👍
Thanks, you too!
This is the only person who makes reading a book sound fun ha ha. All that tuck yourself away with a good book just sells it ha ha
Thanks Nick..great boat.
Nice little sporty weekender.
So, hopefully next season, we will be seeing you and Marianne enjoy one like this :-)
Currently June of 2023. I sure wish you has bought this boat 2 years ago. It’d be really fun for us followers to watch you two enjoy it.
Oh yeah its smugglers clue 3 for sure. Thank you Nick. Stay safe out there.
Thanks, you too!
Can’t wait to see smugglers blues 3, great tour Nick I love these videos! It’s something I could see myself buying in the future as well!
This boat is so much you Nick! This is your next step I believe. Someone should sponsor you with it
Good morning Nick! Have a beautiful day!
You too!
