I've noticed that once these boats get bigger and bigger, they seem to become less clever in utilizing the space. The solutions are pretty straight forward. Not saying the boats are ugly, FAR from it! My personal love in seeing these videos is the solutions they come up with. That's why the Galeon 640 is without a doubt my favorite boat on Aquaholic's channel. So many amazing features and innovative solutions.
@@DanielC__ Yeah I noticed that. But considering how they are always open for customizing to their customers, I am sure they could perhaps come up with something to increases the tanks?
@@Schnitz13 : I also don't care for boats with the galley beside the helm. It's just a strange place to put it. There are certainly other boats in this size range that I much prefer over this one.
Exactly the same thing i was going to write. I like the design that goes into maximizing space and the Galeon 640 is my top pick if i were to get a owner-operated boat!
Your joy and enthusiasm showing this super yacht is contagious. I found myself smiling and laughing with you. What a beautiful yacht. I certainly wouldn't turn one down if someone wanted to give me one!
As an aside, just wanted to say, the first person perspective on all your videos is hands down the best format. So easy to follow the layout and see exactly what you're telling us about. Many other channels go for a more "professional" camera person and presenter style and they're rubbish by comparison.
Other channel's videos are usually an overproduced mess. The camera speeds up and slows down randomly (speed ramping it's called; I call it what it really is; lowest common denominator, mouth breather MTV editing). I absolutely hate that "effect". It's basically not showing off the boat as if you, the viewer, were a buyer, but as if you were some moron gawping "oMg bIG bOaT mE cLaP mY hAnDs yAy!!1" Those videos aren't interested in selling the boat, but in selling a "lifestyle" which may or may not exist. Social media addled hype. Pathetic. Nick's videos do use subtle editing, but it's so seamless you can't tell it's there, and that's much harder to pull off. But it sells the boat and, fittingly, the lifestyle associated with it, much better than those instaface bait videos ever could.
@@visionist7 Indeed, these videos looks more personal, it's just like that Nick is someone you know from daily live 🙂. Other channels are often too professional, like a big ad on TV. I watch them only if there are real exceptional boats/yachts.
I really like NautiStyles as well, though I think that works better than some others as they seem to be having fun doing it, and both Victoria and Rico take turns presenting/filming
After a long and excruciatingly difficult week at work, and the mental anguish we all get from life, AQUAHOLIC is my go to place. Thank you Nick for helping separate my the mental frustration by delivering some amazing videos, you have inadvertently help me relax, smile and think positive. By showing us these amazingly crafted objects, (that the majority of us dream off) always places a smile and dream in all our minds. Thank you so much!
@@AQUAHOLIC : Nick, it looks like you have a young American counterpart/competition. I just came across his channel today & I think he has been watching your channel & taking notes. Almost identical right down to having a backpack sitting on the seat while he is filming his tours. Lol They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Hi Nick . Your enthusiasm, excitement & joy looking at yachts jumps out right through the computer screen . I love boats & your videos (which are the best on RUclips) are always inspiring, informative & keep me going every week . This has to be the most beautiful Sunseeker yacht . The space & layout makes it look much bigger than 88' . God bless . Mark (Toronto) 💦💦💦
Now that's a great yacht. Its nice to see a show pony. Love these big yachts. Its gorgeous. You have the best life Nick. Thank you for showing us this beautiful yacht.
I can’t quite put my finger on exactly why, but this boat strikes me as a Charter boat, more than an owner boat. Still lovely, and would be a great way to cruise around the Med, or perhaps the Caribbean. Glad you got the chance to show us this one, with an always excellent Aquaholic Tour!
Agreed, and you have to figure that manufacturers know the percentage of their customers who are going to buy these boats primarily to charter so they can afford their 4-6 weeks or so each year. Designing and manufacturing floorplans that cater to the charter market is just good business, really -- though I much prefer boats that are owner-centric.
It was definitely a little surprising, but it does seem practical. If you're an owner operator, it would allow you to get up and make a snack while you're underway, and if you have a crew it puts them in one big area instead of a bunch of little isolated rooms throughout the boat
Someone in the galley getting out a blender would be a problem for the person or people trying to drive the boat. That's the worst location for a galley I have ever seen.
Thank you Nick. Quite the coup. Special boat, special tour, special presenter. No matter who I see presenting a boat any more there is always in the back of my mind, that’s not how Nick would do it. They are really trying to set the bar here. Great design and layout. Very functional. That rear feature is truly a transformer section. Multiple uses out of the same piece. Well done Sunseeker
What a beautiful boat. I can't even imagine how wonderful the experience of travelling this way on a regular basis must be. Thanks for such a wonderful tour - I feel like I was there with you as you went through that magnificent yacht.
My god. That is truly beautiful. I’ve missed your super yacht tours Nick. What an awesome machine. A lot of beautiful design touches. Always nice to see how the other half live. Thanks for the tour.
I cannot hold myself on this one, I must express my appreciation for such beauty, it totally exquisite. I'm totally blown away. I find VIP cabin very special though. The door way from dining area to the wheel house it amazing. When you do boat of this calibre it when you talk my language Mr Nick love your work please keep those videos coming
It is nice that you were not bothered by other people on the vessel with you. Usually when you are filming larger vessels you have people on there at the same time as you are and we miss all the 'places like this' for the bits and pieces. Love the pocket doors, and I wish they would do more of them, especially when it involves the en suite. The swinging door right into the loo is a not so good idea. I was, however, surprised at the galley on this one and was expecting something larger. But as always, thank you for all of your hard work showing us these fabulous 'kits'.
That is a really beautiful yacht with a great layout and stylish look. Very sleek design. Like that innovative rear seating mechanism. Unusual having a galley right alongside the lower helm. Thanks for the tour Nick 😊
Just been browsing some older videos on the channel and a notification appeared that another beauty has been uploaded! Thanks Nick really love the tours - wishing you a happy weekend!
Beautiful job of showing these amazing yachts to us. I have watched a few different shows with a underwhelming feeling and experience. You have become my preferred page to watch! Keep up the great work I truly enjoy them!
You are my very favorite Yacht tour guide in all videos I have seen. I love that you do not miss a thing of interest when show them off thanks from a friend and FAN .
Sold! Now I gotta come up with 35K per month for 15 years at 1.9% interest. And that doesn’t include the crew. Oh boy I may have spoke too soon... Lovely vessel Nick! Just wow! 😳 Cheers my across the pond friend! 🍻
The gentleman does a fantastic job of walk through and reviews. I started following when my significant other and I started shopping for a yacht. We like the ability to see which manufacturers have layouts that we fill would fit our family best. I stay subscribed because I like seeing whats new now on the market.
Not big fan of boats this size, but that transforming sunbathing at the back is super smart. Imagine the space you could add with that to smaller boats whoever thought of that needs a raise.
Such a great presentation by Nick, and almost spur of the moment, without a lot of prep time. As always well done Nick. The only time I ever set foot on a super yacht is with your camera....
Wasn’t paying attention at the start, so it wasn’t until the end until I saw the length. That is one impressive 88ft yacht! Sunseeker seem to be up there with the best in the business, and perhaps above most. And built in UK - well done. Great review - just waiting for the inevitable “Classic Sunseeker” :)
Sunseeker have really upped their game recently, that X-tend door is a fabulous idea. The Sunseeker 100 looks like it will be an amazing boat, I hope you get a tour of that one! So great to see both Princess and Sunseeker doing so well for UK yachting.
Been waiting for another super yacht, was excited to see this posted today! Glad they gave you the opportunity to check it out and thanks as always Nick!
Haha, I get into seeing the design ingenuity of smaller models, then long for a super yacht tour. When that’s been met, I want to return to the more modest ones. Great channel, Nick. So engaging!
Hey Nick another beauty from Sunseeker I love the eucalyptus/chrome in the saloon, I had to pause the video and stare at it just to take it all in and the multi use sun pad is pure genius I could go on but instead I will say I hope you have a great day bud
Nick, you have done it again. I viewed this just now while on my lunch break. I totally agree with your sentiments regarding this new edition tithe Sunseeker line. I was surprised by the galley placement at first, but it grew on me as you went further into your exploration if this absolutely stunning boat... er ship. The finishes, styles and design are spot on for a yacht of this class. Sunseeker has done it again. Now, I'll await your actual sea trial video to view you at the helm.
Another great scoop for the channel. I think its because Sunseeker (and Princess etc) see you as a serious journalist who loves the skill and artistry behind these creations as well as the practical aspects of "boating" rather than a "lifestyles of the rich and famous type" reviewer which other channels offer. Heres to more sneak peeks!
I always enjoy your clips and appreciate your knowledge of Boats. Your presentations and descriptions are second to none. I like Sunseeker, but I go back from time to time and look at the 2004 87ft Johnson and dream. I have never seen a yacht of that size with so much Luxury.
No disrespect to Hugo, but I really hoped you'd do your magic on this boat, and I'm not disappointed. Not a boat I'd care to own, but a typically Sunseeker tour de force, and your video does it justice.
Really good to see you doing a sunseeker tour of the 88 always really enjoyable to watch you give the tour I watch a tour of a 76 but your tours are alway amazing
Such an amazing boat. If only I had this kind of loose change lying around to buy one. I can but dream. The only thing I wasn't keen on was the crew area. It felt kind of tacked on to me. As if they had finished then realised they hadn't got any crew area. Thank you so much for brightening my day Nick with that gorgeous boat
WOW - I'll take two please. Thanks for sharing another very impressive floating hotel Nick. Perfectly delivered as always with a nice level of personal excitement.
Wow! You were definitely in the right place at the right time with this tour nick, what a beautiful boat! Definitely out of our price range, but oh what if? I loved the excellent tour of this British built super yacht though!
Jim davidson would absolutely love this yacht . I watched your interview with Jim on his boat. This is super impressive well you can only dream can't you.
Great to see you back doing what you do best, love watching your super yacht tours and wow what a tour, this boat is on another level, what refinement and quality. Amazing tour.
A superior exercise in modern yacht design with no boringly plain surfaces and an exciting use of fabrics - but why oh why does the eating area remind me of a 1970's works canteen? I would very much hope this is an owner option. It would be good to see the different lighting settings, interior as well as exterior, in the night-time but then ho-hum I suppose not everything is possible... All in all a jolly good 'sneak peak' - maybe we will be treated with a view of the sea trials?
OMG Nick... FABULOUS!!! 🤭 The detailing is superb & she just looks, well... ‘balanced’! I’m guessing the wall covering is a kind of water-silk, gorgeous & as for the eucalyptus, superb! As others, not 100% taken with galley position but all-in-all what a super, super yacht!!! Thanks Nick 👍🏻
I think the idea was to make a "superyacht" (salon and dining table behind it, no visibility of the helm position and *seperate galley*) on a relative short length boat.
Imagine boiling a pot of water and fogging up the front while cruising around 😂 I hope they offer different floor plans to fix this flaw on their other builds
@@oelruof5816 oh course it would get used a lot! People have to eat and grab drinks for the cruise! My personal preference is the galley towards the rear of the boat, so you can just walk in the sliders and grab yourself a refreshment. Would be a pain if you have a big gathering and you have to navigate all the way to the front of the boat for a snack or drink. But that’s just my opinion, I bet there are people out there who love to cruise and grab a snack at the same time 😁
its alot better for the service to have it like that so that the people serviing the people can cook right their and then serve the family or people the food without them having to watch them make the food and its jsut for conviency not really for anything else tbh
Just love how enthusiastic you are nick over these yachts, great video and another great yacht from Sunseaker, just love it but still can't get my head around the galley being so close to the windscreen and helm...👍👍👍 10/10
Brilliant tour and absolutely stunning yacht, I think I caught a glimpse of this on Motor Boat and Yachting but they did miss a couple of parts including the master heads. Great to see AQUAHOLIC’s take on a tour which is always brilliant and great to see a beautifully finished boat! Thanks Nick!
That is a lot of vessel for under 6 million Nick. Sunseeker never fail to amaze me. The build quality is superb. The Sunseker 131 is my favourite Sunseeker, in the range.
Love the multi position sun lounger! What an awesome yacht! I like how the kitchen has been moved forward giving more space to the guests. This will make someone really happy but I’m thinking would be a good one for starting your own charter company. Not too big but big enough to make it stand out from the rest of the yachts in the marina and for holding more sea toys. Would defo add the hot tub to the fly bridge. Not sure if it would be better with the massive main cabin or go for the additional 2 doubles though?
For charter, definitely have the extra cabin. Maybe even explore a Pullman berth option for those cabins if available. That would give the boat 12 berths, the maximum for charter. The dining table would have to grow though (it looks like it does maybe split and expand).
The kitchen/bridge in 1 is a little funky, but you need creativity like that when you fit so much into such a small boat. Sun Seeker never fails to disappoint
Time for today's aquaholic bingo! 1. Home from Home stuff. 2. Classic Sunseeker. 3. Tuck yourself away. 4. VIP cabin is arguably the master cabin. 5. Proper superyacht stuff BINGO
re: aquaholic bingo: You could always rely on Nick, that every time he said "stern-to berthing..." he would add "...in the med," but he seems to have stopped doing that one!
I wanted to watch this immediately when I saw that you uploaded it, but I made myself wait until after I finished my school work so that I would have something to look forward to. I love that transom sun pad design, very cool! Great video as always Nick! Thanks for the tour!
James did post up a (really good) review of this boat a couple of weeks ago, but it disappeared after a couple of hours. Love the reviews that both James and Nick create; subtly different approaches, but both provide a fantastic insight into each boat and convey real passion for the subject.
@@stevesmythe3288 thank you, I must have missed that. But see it your way: both James and Nick do excellent videos. I actually think, that they would make a great team for a joint production one day.
Interesting idea with the galley/helm combo. Wonder how that will be in practice. I can imagine great and not so great reasons. Nice to see something different though. I realize this is going to be a crewed boat but I mean interesting for a crew as well.
Wow this one huge Nick Sir.. Gosh.. It's look like a home.. Full size... Interior is great... Mind blowing Boat Nick Sir.. and as always looking great and dashing..
I expected a wave in the dayheads' mirror =( Got one in the VIP =) The galley in the wheelhouse means you can't cook if underway at night, which would seriously put me off. If you've got a crew the idea is you can make passage after dark as well and they'll take care of it. But meanwhile everyone goes hungry on this boat. Unless they conn from the flybridge which might not be practical in winter (yes I paid for the boat so I'll use it in winter too lol). IMO it isn't a real superyacht if you can't access the flybridge/sundeck from the inside stairwell. It looks like they could even have managed it here. Fold down balconies would be nice either side of the dining area. The TV in the forward VIP could be mounted on the centreline with a slight redesign. Much better for viewing from the berth. I'd like to see someone introduce an invisible trackless system for combining twin single berths; just put the track under the berth itself and have it slide along itself. The bow searchlight is aimed inboard for a spot of navel gazing. Or lighting a porn shoot, whichever comes naturally.
Nice Vlog 👍and nice looking boat, even in unfinished form! The converting sunbed area is a really neat standout feature! Congrats on getting in for an advanced preview of this Yacht! 👏
Beautiful boat and another great review as usual Nick. 👍 The only critique that I have (and it's just personal preference)is, I don't like the galley overlooking the helm, as I just feel it's the wrong place for it.
What amazes me is at some point a guy said to himself I fancy starting a boat building business and after many year this is what they can accomplish just amazing amount of design thought going on here special very special
Wow that one was incredible 👏 the standard of the finish is stunning very impressive, I dream of mine ,thank you nick that was fantastic to see, a true Rolls Royce of the sea brilliant 👏👍🛥
The equivalent Riva Argo really shows what beauty is ! The 90 Argo smokes this like a cheap cigar. And this boat is a very beautiful boat ~ but is is not a RIVA !
The galley is with the helm as this is a charter boat (or if private, still crewed). It's not intended for owner-operator. Just as the largest Princesses are legally owner-operator but in "reality" (as the Princess guy said) it's crewed.
The galley locale is well explained by @Darth KEK... The steps up to the VIP Cabin afford a much larger footprint for the room. The hull slopes in severely, and thusly, the room would be a good 2-3 feet smaller on EACH side without raising the floor level.
@@BucsFTW it would probably be impossible to get her up on the plane until the tank is empty, so it would be a long range displacement speed tank only, turning into a semi displacement boat as the tank empties and the bow lightens. Bit like a plane that flies higher and higher as it burns off fuel. Maybe I just spoke a load of pseudo physics, lol. Who knows
I'm pleased that you managed to get a look around to show off a boat that's still very new and not fully released or completed to the level a customer would have it. The boat not being fully ready only makes it more interesting and novel to see a tour of. Before we've seen boats that are still getting their structure and fittings done during the initial assembly, through various ages of operational boats, all the way to ones over twenty years old; and I enjoy the variety. Seeing this sort of behind-the-scenes peek of how they prepare these wonderful vehicles is very interesting and I hope you continue to snag opportunities like this if they come up again.
I was just thinking the same thing, if I were wealthy, I think I would be up for taking a couple years to live on such a beautiful yacht traveling the world, going from one country to another
I've noticed that once these boats get bigger and bigger, they seem to become less clever in utilizing the space. The solutions are pretty straight forward. Not saying the boats are ugly, FAR from it! My personal love in seeing these videos is the solutions they come up with.
That's why the Galeon 640 is without a doubt my favorite boat on Aquaholic's channel. So many amazing features and innovative solutions.
I agree, and on this boat I found two things somewhat odd: the TV screen in the saloon doesn't disappear, and the galley right beside the helm??
@@DanielC__ Yeah I noticed that. But considering how they are always open for customizing to their customers, I am sure they could perhaps come up with something to increases the tanks?

Most tours would stop at 17:00, but Nick takes us the extra mile, showing us the crew and engineering areas.
Best yacht channel on YT by far!
Thank you!
Agreed
Completey argree
A proper crew area is important... If anything it shows if the owner has real class or not.
@@jesperrasmussen510 I agree, less classy owners would squeeze the crew accommodation so they can have a gym they barely use.

Definitely a charter boat, no personalisation, although it was said that it's not quite finished yet, so who knows, still a lovely yacht
The galley being in the bridge is a head scratcher for me.
Absolutely stunning is this one. Just not sure about the position of the Galley, but everything else is truly amazing. Cheers.

I used to work for Sunseeker in Poole factory, and i know how good thier Superyachts are, God bless you all at Sunseeker.
Hey Nick another beauty from Sunseeker I love the eucalyptus/chrome in the saloon, I had to pause the video and stare at it just to take it all in and the multi use sun pad is pure genius I could go on but instead I will say I hope you have a great day bud
Awesome thank you! You too.
Nick, you have done it again. I viewed this just now while on my lunch break. I totally agree with your sentiments regarding this new edition tithe Sunseeker line. I was surprised by the galley placement at first, but it grew on me as you went further into your exploration if this absolutely stunning boat... er ship. The finishes, styles and design are spot on for a yacht of this class. Sunseeker has done it again. Now, I'll await your actual sea trial video to view you at the helm.
Another great scoop for the channel. I think its because Sunseeker (and Princess etc) see you as a serious journalist who loves the skill and artistry behind these creations as well as the practical aspects of "boating" rather than a "lifestyles of the rich and famous type" reviewer which other channels offer. Heres to more sneak peeks!
I always enjoy your clips and appreciate your knowledge of Boats. Your presentations and descriptions are second to none. I like Sunseeker, but I go back from time to time and look at the 2004 87ft Johnson and dream. I have never seen a yacht of that size with so much Luxury.
No disrespect to Hugo, but I really hoped you'd do your magic on this boat, and I'm not disappointed. Not a boat I'd care to own, but a typically Sunseeker tour de force, and your video does it justice.
Really good to see you doing a sunseeker tour of the 88 always really enjoyable to watch you give the tour I watch a tour of a 76 but your tours are alway amazing
Glad you enjoy them :)
Such an amazing boat. If only I had this kind of loose change lying around to buy one. I can but dream.
The only thing I wasn't keen on was the crew area. It felt kind of tacked on to me. As if they had finished then realised they hadn't got any crew area. Thank you so much for brightening my day Nick with that gorgeous boat
Simply gorgeous! Love the salon lighting and colours
That was spectacular. Sunseeker have really nailed it with this boat. Really impressed with everything was the gift that just kept giving....
WOW - I'll take two please. Thanks for sharing another very impressive floating hotel Nick. Perfectly delivered as always with a nice level of personal excitement.
Wow! You were definitely in the right place at the right time with this tour nick, what a beautiful boat! Definitely out of our price range, but oh what if? I loved the excellent tour of this British built super yacht though!
Glad you enjoyed it!
SunSeeker Always sunny 👍...nice work, Nick glad they didn't turn YOU down....I want to see everything 👍
Nick, Amazing yacht ! 5.6 million seems extremely reasonable. Also, like you, I also enjoyed all the little touches that makes this yacht so special.
Wow, for a sub 100 foot boat that's astounding. Thank you for the tour as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
That is an amazing boat and as always you've done an amazing job showing her to us. THANK YOU!
Our pleasure!
Jim davidson would absolutely love this yacht .
I watched your interview with Jim on his boat.
This is super impressive well you can only dream can't you.
Nothing makes me wish I was a millionaire more than the idea of owning a SunSeeker. Spectacular! Thank you!!
Great to see you back doing what you do best, love watching your super yacht tours and wow what a tour, this boat is on another level, what refinement and quality. Amazing tour.
Many thanks!
Looks like another beautiful machine from sunseeker. Also you're creeping up to 300k subs.... Nice one Nick.
So close!
What a beautiful boat! Very, very impressive. If she were mine, that VIP suite would be the master cabin, for sure.
A superior exercise in modern yacht design with no boringly plain surfaces and an exciting use of fabrics - but why oh why does the eating area remind me of a 1970's works canteen? I would very much hope this is an owner option.
It would be good to see the different lighting settings, interior as well as exterior, in the night-time but then ho-hum I suppose not everything is possible...
All in all a jolly good 'sneak peak' - maybe we will be treated with a view of the sea trials?
Choose your own chairs.
Despite looking like folding canvas chairs, they're probably outrageously priced.
Agreed ~ the chairs do l0ok very cheap .
Looks very IKEA.
OMG Nick... FABULOUS!!! 🤭 The detailing is superb & she just looks, well... ‘balanced’! I’m guessing the wall covering is a kind of water-silk, gorgeous & as for the eucalyptus, superb! As others, not 100% taken with galley position but all-in-all what a super, super yacht!!! Thanks Nick 👍🏻
Gorgeous yacht... kitchen right next to the helm is a little weird.
Must have a Captain Cook
Yeah, its not good design.
@@iifguo8531 lol
Hahahaha fguo you nailed it!
I think the idea was to make a "superyacht" (salon and dining table behind it, no visibility of the helm position and *seperate galley*) on a relative short length boat.
Really great boat. Thanks for showing us.
I would really like to see the Sunseeker 100. It looks amazing.
Makes me wonder how greasy those front windows og beams will get from having the kitchen up front.
Imagine boiling a pot of water and fogging up the front while cruising around 😂 I hope they offer different floor plans to fix this flaw on their other builds
Would it get used much? I wouldn’t, but I completely agree if you have a chef aboard.
@@oelruof5816 oh course it would get used a lot! People have to eat and grab drinks for the cruise! My personal preference is the galley towards the rear of the boat, so you can just walk in the sliders and grab yourself a refreshment. Would be a pain if you have a big gathering and you have to navigate all the way to the front of the boat for a snack or drink. But that’s just my opinion, I bet there are people out there who love to cruise and grab a snack at the same time 😁
Exactly.
its alot better for the service to have it like that so that the people serviing the people can cook right their and then serve the family or people the food without them having to watch them make the food and its jsut for conviency not really for anything else tbh
Just love how enthusiastic you are nick over these yachts, great video and another great yacht from Sunseaker, just love it but still can't get my head around the galley being so close to the windscreen and helm...👍👍👍 10/10
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant tour and absolutely stunning yacht, I think I caught a glimpse of this on Motor Boat and Yachting but they did miss a couple of parts including the master heads. Great to see AQUAHOLIC’s take on a tour which is always brilliant and great to see a beautifully finished boat! Thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the separation of the cockpit from the stairwell down to the living quarters.
Me: In what possible way is that boat “not 100%”?
Sunseeker: We haven’t set the clock on the crew galley microwave yet.
That is a lot of vessel for under 6 million Nick. Sunseeker never fail to amaze me. The build quality is superb. The Sunseker 131 is my favourite Sunseeker, in the range.
Such a beautiful boat. Great video as always Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
SPLENDID use of space and impressive interior design and decoration.
Love the multi position sun lounger! What an awesome yacht! I like how the kitchen has been moved forward giving more space to the guests. This will make someone really happy but I’m thinking would be a good one for starting your own charter company. Not too big but big enough to make it stand out from the rest of the yachts in the marina and for holding more sea toys. Would defo add the hot tub to the fly bridge. Not sure if it would be better with the massive main cabin or go for the additional 2 doubles though?
For charter, definitely have the extra cabin. Maybe even explore a Pullman berth option for those cabins if available. That would give the boat 12 berths, the maximum for charter. The dining table would have to grow though (it looks like it does maybe split and expand).
The kitchen/bridge in 1 is a little funky, but you need creativity like that when you fit so much into such a small boat. Sun Seeker never fails to disappoint
Superb, astonishing and marvelous. Hugs from Colombia.
Hey there Colombia! :)
Another 1 million plus views in no time Nick, you are the master of bringing these motor yachts to us 🥰
Amazing presenting 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Time for today's aquaholic bingo!
1. Home from Home stuff.
2. Classic Sunseeker.
3. Tuck yourself away.
4. VIP cabin is arguably the master cabin.
5. Proper superyacht stuff
BINGO
re: aquaholic bingo: You could always rely on Nick, that every time he said "stern-to berthing..." he would add "...in the med," but he seems to have stopped doing that one!
so true!
I wanted to watch this immediately when I saw that you uploaded it, but I made myself wait until after I finished my school work so that I would have something to look forward to. I love that transom sun pad design, very cool! Great video as always Nick! Thanks for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Captain Birdseye would just love this. Up at the helm and just reach over and fry up his fish fingers. (4:47)
Wow when I saw the living room I was just so amazed I love the boat it’s so cool
James @TheVirtualYachtBroker will hate you for beating him to this beauty! Stunning boat, great video.
James did post up a (really good) review of this boat a couple of weeks ago, but it disappeared after a couple of hours. Love the reviews that both James and Nick create; subtly different approaches, but both provide a fantastic insight into each boat and convey real passion for the subject.
@@stevesmythe3288 thank you, I must have missed that. But see it your way: both James and Nick do excellent videos. I actually think, that they would make a great team for a joint production one day.
Sunseeker have really outdone themselves with this. Gorgeous Yacht
Interesting idea with the galley/helm combo. Wonder how that will be in practice. I can imagine great and not so great reasons. Nice to see something different though. I realize this is going to be a crewed boat but I mean interesting for a crew as well.
I was thinking the same.
Wow this one huge Nick Sir.. Gosh.. It's look like a home.. Full size... Interior is great... Mind blowing Boat Nick Sir.. and as always looking great and dashing..
I expected a wave in the dayheads' mirror =( Got one in the VIP =)
The galley in the wheelhouse means you can't cook if underway at night, which would seriously put me off. If you've got a crew the idea is you can make passage after dark as well and they'll take care of it. But meanwhile everyone goes hungry on this boat. Unless they conn from the flybridge which might not be practical in winter (yes I paid for the boat so I'll use it in winter too lol).
IMO it isn't a real superyacht if you can't access the flybridge/sundeck from the inside stairwell. It looks like they could even have managed it here.
Fold down balconies would be nice either side of the dining area.
The TV in the forward VIP could be mounted on the centreline with a slight redesign. Much better for viewing from the berth. I'd like to see someone introduce an invisible trackless system for combining twin single berths; just put the track under the berth itself and have it slide along itself.
The bow searchlight is aimed inboard for a spot of navel gazing. Or lighting a porn shoot, whichever comes naturally.
"A light porn shoot" you've been on one of Nicks boats before haven't you 🤣
Nailed it..Galley location is too much of a compromise to find more lounge space.
Maybe Smuggler's Blues 27? 😂 Absolutely gorgeous boat, and a fantastic tour as always, Nick!! Thank you once again.
Great tour of an interesting boat Nick, but shouldn’t such a “preview” event warrant a peek at an Aquaholic pillow or some bespoke socks?
Nice Vlog 👍and nice looking boat, even in unfinished form! The converting sunbed area is a really neat standout feature! Congrats on getting in for an advanced preview of this Yacht! 👏
Beautiful boat and another great review as usual Nick. 👍
The only critique that I have (and it's just personal preference)is, I don't like the galley overlooking the helm, as I just feel it's the wrong place for it.
What amazes me is at some point a guy said to himself I fancy starting a boat building business and after many year this is what they can accomplish just amazing amount of design thought going on here special very special
Wow that one was incredible 👏 the standard of the finish is stunning very impressive, I dream of mine ,thank you nick that was fantastic to see, a true Rolls Royce of the sea brilliant 👏👍🛥
Glad you liked it!
The equivalent Riva Argo really shows what beauty is ! The 90 Argo smokes this like a cheap cigar. And this boat is a very beautiful boat ~ but is is not a RIVA !
I saw another video touring this same boat, but your's is 10 times better. Keep them coming O'chap......Well Done !!!!!!
Thanks, will do!
Lovely. Not sure about having the kitchen right up front. Why are there steps up to the VIP cabin?
The galley is with the helm as this is a charter boat (or if private, still crewed). It's not intended for owner-operator. Just as the largest Princesses are legally owner-operator but in "reality" (as the Princess guy said) it's crewed.
The galley locale is well explained by @Darth KEK... The steps up to the VIP Cabin afford a much larger footprint for the room. The hull slopes in severely, and thusly, the room would be a good 2-3 feet smaller on EACH side without raising the floor level.
@@BucsFTW could they use the space under the VIP for storage or a trimmable extra fuel tank?
@@visionist7 now THAT is forward thinking! Quite honestly, I'm not sure - but I like the concept. Maybe she'd be truly trans-Atlantic then as well?
@@BucsFTW it would probably be impossible to get her up on the plane until the tank is empty, so it would be a long range displacement speed tank only, turning into a semi displacement boat as the tank empties and the bow lightens. Bit like a plane that flies higher and higher as it burns off fuel.
Maybe I just spoke a load of pseudo physics, lol. Who knows
I'm pleased that you managed to get a look around to show off a boat that's still very new and not fully released or completed to the level a customer would have it.
The boat not being fully ready only makes it more interesting and novel to see a tour of.
Before we've seen boats that are still getting their structure and fittings done during the initial assembly, through various ages of operational boats, all the way to ones over twenty years old; and I enjoy the variety.
Seeing this sort of behind-the-scenes peek of how they prepare these wonderful vehicles is very interesting and I hope you continue to snag opportunities like this if they come up again.
Lovely video as always Nick
Glad you enjoyed it
We Have A Lot Of Respect For The Excellent Work You Do Thank You Nick.
Love this boat, truly amazing boat.
Another superb tour and good to see a new boat that is still in production. What a superb luxury yacht, so much space.
Would you not love to live in something like this travelling the world? That’s be amazing
I was just thinking the same thing, if I were wealthy, I think I would be up for taking a couple years to live on such a beautiful yacht traveling the world, going from one country to another
@@MyName-sk8wl absolutely, living in utter luxury regardless of where you are in the world!
What a credit to Sunseeker.. they’ve raised the bar again! Great boat ... got everything. Thanks Nick👍👍👍👏👏👏🇦🇺
My pleasure!
