What an impressively "tidy" utility boat. So flexible in potential uses, from a boating "white van" service vessel to a stout floating fishing shanty or a miniature yacht for those able to visualize their own reality. BTW - it's Feb 18, 2022 and I'm seeing vids of that horrible UK storm. Floods pushing boats into docks at Heathrow and 747's forced to moore without operational passerelles - it's a mess. No more joking about it - I / we are wishing you all safety and warm, dry lodging until it all passes. Keep your powder dry...
I stepped onboard this myself at the boat show as I was interested in looking at it, really liked it, thought it was a nice simple no fuss and practical boat, what’s not to like 👍
seems over priced for what you get ......
@@sickofthestupid1067 All boats are over-priced unless you buy used!
@@DrCrabfingers and then most of the time something is just up with it
I like how aquaholic always responds to his comments
That's a great weekend fishing boat. I'd probably opt for the 27 in the UK climate, having that little extra indoor seating area would be a winner! I appreciate it when you bring us boats that are reasonably affordable to most viewers. Thanks agin.
Yeah 150k is totally "reasonably affordable to most viewers." LOL
@@jwhofer in terms of boating, yeah.
@@jwhofer Some people buy a Porsche, some people buy a boat. I certainly can't afford one, but I know I might someday. It's not like a 5 million yacht... I know I will never be able to buy one of those
Dreams of doing a full season of Orcadian Island Hopping on this beautiful machine!
Thanks for the dreams Nick!
Nice boat there! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍👊👊🛥🛥
Thanks for watching! 🙂
For a very seaworthy craft designed for Category B and "is capable of meeting MCA commercial craft requirements with little modification", this is not so overpriced, folks.
In any case, lovely little vessel with a hot water heater tucked away nicely! A horizontal bar (or other design) in front of the passenger seat would be a nice addition.
I would also like to see the 27 reviewed, if possible!
Thanks again, Nick!
I love it! The perfect boat for a weekend's diving or fishing. How fab. Loads of space for fishing or diving gear...nice lounge if the weather turns foul....open roof for when the sun shines, a galley for cooking simple meals and most importantly a head with shower! What is not to like! How fabulous!! Thanks for showing us this boat Nick....hope you're having fun there in Southampton even though there is a hurricane blowing through....!
now this is the one! extremely practical and affordable with everything you need to get out on the weekends with any types of company. Wow
And thank you Nick for this great show of this Orkney Pilot House 25 a very nice boat this one with evrything in it for a nice weekend or short vacation I hope you will show us also the bigger one day thanks again Nick on a very windy Fryday
Thanks for the tour Nick and Maggie! Seems like a great boat for so many different activities. Very versatile and ready for any weather!
I just love these basic designs and the toughness and rigid look of them! No frills but comfortable 😌 For me it just needs trebling the size without losing what we have! Surprised you didn't make yourself a brew and have a dunk when you found those cookies lol 😆
Great video Nick.
i did not think that type of boats were made anymore.
As a child, I was out fishing in that type of boat in Norway some summers
It was great to pick cod, saithe and mackerel.
memories that live forever
Happy to see this.. I was very busy, and was unable to watch your videos when you post them. bless you
These smaller boats are always my favorite!
Hi Nick. 2 models to suit all tastes. Reminiscent of a nelson. Very practical. Great tour thanks 😊
My pleasure!
That is my type of boat exactly, almost. Enough space to live aboard for a week or so and a nice turn of speed should one want to go more than 6 knots. Looks like a quality build, too.
Strange thing to say but that Yanmar engine is beautiful. Looks solid.
Great small, practical boat to get out and do some fishing. I’d opt for the outboards to free up more space. Thanks as always Nick for sharing!
Now , that's a fishing boat !!!
nice yacht with your amazing explanation
You had me at nice, practical motor cruiser.
The Pet Shop Boys that's a band I remember from when I was a kid and still listened to today
Classic!
@@AQUAHOLIC The only reason why we got the Pet Shop Boys on the radio in this area is because of our heavy military roots a lot of our service personnel have been living in Europe before so they get inundated with European culture and European music
I kinda like the way that the table and seating in the bow connect to the helm area. Great boat that I’m sure has decent sea keeping capabilities for its size. Thanks for the tour Nick and particularly how you pointed out the difference between the 25 and the 27.
What a great little overnighter that has a myriad of uses. Keeps you out of the weather and space for outdoor fun. Nice tour.
Cheers
Quite like this one. I’d like to see the 27. With a cabin, it’d make a great summer home for me🤔
Great tour of a great little boat in whatever version suits. Thoroughly enjoyable as always.
I don’t think I’ve seen this brand of boat before, and I’m quite pleased; it seems like they build lovely little boats that a weekend on would be brilliant! Lovely tour thanks Nick!
What a cracking little boat 🚢. All the Essentials that you are likely to need . Unbelievable value really and I bet they are great on the water. Nice one Nick
Love these pilot house boats
Quite a relevant picture for todays weather 😅
Really nice little cruiser. This price justifies what you get for your money in my opinion. A lovely, utilitarian day boat for good boating fun!
Looks like a good boat for fishing 👍
Perfect one to be out a full day fishing.
Fantastic boat for fishing trips - thanks for sharing Nick :)
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Another brief but great tour, love the shout out to the PSB!
Very nice little boat!
Very nice looking boat. 🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'd love to see the 27 too!
Very well executed utility boat! Not for long leisure cruises but if you need to get somewhere this is absolutely perfect! Thanks for the tour!
Our pleasure!
Nice little day boat
Cracking wee boat.
I quite like this boat, it has enough for a weekend away.
Nice little cruiser. 👍
A cute little Fishing boat here for a nice day trip out catching fishes
Just watched the Pilot House 27 video you made on Motor Boat and Yachting site, from back in 2014.
That was a breezy day!
Congratulations Nick, Aquaholic expertise is now being acknowledged on Nautistyles!
It is? I've not seen that.
@@AQUAHOLIC about 24 mins into todays review of Kelly Ann
@@MrRnipperBrockleBroadcasting Ha, cool, thanks! 😄
@@AQUAHOLIC no worries,
I'm disappointed Nick. I was certain we'd hear a 'get attable' comment when you opened that engine bay hatch. 🤣🤣 On the other hand - great little tour Nick, of what I think would be a very nice weekender. I'd love to see it perform in some slightly rugged seas, as it it were ferrying a pilot out to an inbound ship.
thank you uncle Aquaholic. in Vietnam we have lots of river but not many boat. but thank to you i know lots of boat and.. motorhome :)) keep moving forward, Uncle A
So nice of you 🙂
Looks like a great fun wee boat. Would love to see it out on test. Thanks again Nick.
Here you go - the 27 version! ruclips.net/video/b49vq17_Oas/видео.html
This would be perfect for me and the 592 made me laugh, on one of my dog walks I keep admiring a 592 on a swing mooring but I never knew what it was until now. 😁👍❤️🇬🇧
Looks like a nice little open water fishing boat... packaged nicely, but seems like a lot of price tag for a basic little boat.
Who are the pet shop boys 😀😀 nice little boat
Another lovely presentation. Aside from another terrific tour, I/we often get a tad glimpse of your wrist watch on camera (I'm a time piece enthusiast personally so do take notice of these things), and always wondering "what is Nick wearing on today's Aquaholic video"? Wouldn't it also be lovely if you stopped for a moment, as you do to acknowledge Maggie the baggie or Jack the sack, let us into your watch wearing choices too :-) lol
All the best!
~Alex from Canada
I think those not into watches might find that a bit too much like boasting. 🙂
A super little boat, think I’d go for the 27 though as I’m not very lucky when it comes to fishing 😆
Small and cute Nick Sir... Bas very handy boat... And Sweet as always Sir 🙂
Great boat. Great video
Waitrose flap jacks & no Marmite on board, good taste👍
Nice boat with a good engine choice. 👌 I love Yanmars. Very reliable engines. 👏
It’s a nice looking boat 🚤🛥⛵️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love little boats like this! As much as I enjoy the tours of the top of the line sports cruisers and yachts (which is A LOT, don't get me wrong) boats like this are always really interesting!
I'm going to selfishly ask about the next aft cabin layout tour, those never cease to amaze me...
This should be a tender for an explorer yacht. ;)
Nick, I was wondering how many boats you’ve helped sell as a result of your great vids?
A few apparently 🙂
@Jeffry Pierce Thanks for asking a question I’ve pondered myself. I’m sure not surprised at Nick’s impact on sales though.
Very nice, no frills boat.
Perfect for Loch Lomond and suchlike.
Be nice to see the 27 as well.
Here you go: ruclips.net/video/b49vq17_Oas/видео.html
All-Weather boats are my favourites, all that style nonsense is excessive and you need to plan out carefully when you want to go yachting. I really like the idea of being safe in every situation, and maybe losing some knots of speed. Personally, I am comfortable with cruising at 5-7 knots, because I would know, that my boat could do that in any weather.
Having a sailboat myself, I feel the same way, and I really enjoy the slow cruising - I am gonna sound cliché, but: it is really more about the travel than the destination.
Nice boat but expected a tad lower price to be honest.
Hello. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good ol tour nick. Love the videos!
Glad you like them!
Love it 😀
Seems very expensive for what it is
Might sound daft but as we approach our 'pension lump sum years' this looks like a very viable alternative to a camper van
I see you’re getting a terrible storm in your area! 😳🥴
At least you’re boat isn’t in the water. 👍🏻
Hopefully the damage is minimal.
Stay safe.
I hope so too!
wow. amazing for a 25
A fine boat, for Northern Europe. Where it can be a little rough, in the winter. Nick are people allowed to fish from your boat, It can sometimes leave a mess, I mean. Thx for a fine tour, can't wait to see what you will show next.
No one fishes from my boat! 😄
A proper boat review as always Nick. Thank you. Do you ever venture Stateside? We’ve got a few shows coming up in Florida. Heading to the West Palm Beach show in March. Cheers!
I have done, but not recently for obvious reasons. Hoping to be able to again soon.
👍 all way around
Yes Nick! Loving it :)
Nick I for one hope your boat is safe where she is, hope no damage as been done to her.
Me too..! I'll go and check once things calm down.
Nice boat, hoping you are going to compare to the Viknes
Nice vid aqua👌🏻👌🏻🇩🇿🇩🇿✌🏻
Many thanks! 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC 🙂🙂🙂👍🏻
What would you say is the best starter boat/motoryacht for the budget conscious enthusiast right now? I'm torn between Axopar and Orkney, any advances on those?
Very nice but it does seem quite a lot of money for the amount of boat.
2:51 Can we see the other version?
Where is the exhaust ? The quick scan of the turbo exhaust housing looked like there was nothing connected to it ?
Great little cruiser! I'd definitely take the version with the larger interior, twin engines and I'd find room for a 3.5-5 kw generator. That brings up a question. If you decided down the line you wanted to upgrade to a 2 engine boat, how do you go about it? Is it something the manufacturer would need to do or are there aftermarket companies who can do these kinds of upgrades? Are they practical meaning, would it be worth doing or should I just live with it until I'm in a position to buy another boat? For a company who offer a boat in a 1 or 2 engine configuration...are they different moldings and would they be unique in the engine compartment or is the hull generic making it easier to reposition the existing motor and add a second? Anyway...just rambling. Great little boat.
My gokart has a Yanmar in it. Have a great day
no trip to the bow?
Not much too it is there. Very solid boat but I’d want a little more for my money
Nice 👍
Is this a 25 feet boat for around 170K USD? Yes, we have inflation. And there is not even a "high low platform" :)
Can you make a video on the 27 version
Sure, here you go: ruclips.net/video/b49vq17_Oas/видео.html
@@AQUAHOLIC thank you!!
But the price!??
I'm a boating novice and I have watched HUNDREDS of Nick's videos. I have a couple questions.... do the electrical items run on voltage from the engine when the engine is running just like in a car? If so, I assume that the engine recharges the batteries while the engine is running? How long will the batteries last if the engine is stopped? I would hope their would be enough batteries to give you several hours of lights while anchored somewhere while you are cooking, etc. Also, is there a separate starter battery to re-start the engine that can not run down while using the lights. I'm just curious about power management because Nick didn't mention anything about a generator....Greetings from Texas.... John B.
It depends on the boat, most have two battery banks, one dedicated for engine starting. Batteries last a long time especially with modern LED lighting which will run for days. We use lighting overnight and leave the fridge running overnight no problem. Charging is from engine alternator like a car, plus often there is 240v shore power with charging for when you are plugged in at a marina.
@@AQUAHOLIC Oh, I never took notice of an alternator on those engines. Thanks...
So far this is my favorite boat I only wish I had the funds to buy it . Maybe a few more years if inflation doesn't get any worse .
Good for fishing if that's what u like.....Biloxi ms out
Hi @AQUAHOLIC, just wondering with the prices on the videos, are they specified as New, Current valuation or last sold? Love the videos! Thanks
If it's a new boat it's the new price. If it's a used boat it will have the year in the title and be the price of that used boat at the time it was filmed.
@@AQUAHOLIC Nice, thanks for the clarity!
nice, would love to see some older boats as well, like the 70s hatteras boats... you can get 53' late 70s Hatteras yachts for around 100k USD which is a great deal for a boat like that. Has detroit diesels too
