@Navy1977 I don’t like the offset deck salon/ helm part, it’s higher priced than most similar boats I’ve looked at. They haven’t used the space in a way that I like. It just feels and looks like they could have done better with what they had, but then it’s only my opinion and what suits me does not suit everybody,
@@paulstephens5229 Please point me to a 43 ft boat with 3 staterooms, 2 heads and a flybridge for less than this boat. I'm not talking used, I mean a new boat, with the same spec, that's less money. Either the boats you're talking about are used, or they are not similar. This boat is a BARGAIN for what you're getting.
Versatile ! By creating convertible spaces that are never used at the same time, the boat is able to serve many different tasks and activities and still maintain a user friendly boat- all at just under 40 feet - SWEET. Fast paced singles, newly weds, starter families, teenagers in tow and retired folks with each group able see advantages and features that appear to be made just for them. Beneteau never ceases to impress. Thanks to all for the tour. I want an Aquaholic shirt with "I'll edit that out later"
Its a nice boat, well thought out. I think I would prefer diesel inboard/s , the thoughts of a couple of large tanks of petrol on board is a bit unnerving. The squeaky door had my two dogs up pretty sharpish. I think they thought there was a new toy in the offing. 😄
Jeanneau and Beneteau are part of the same company. MF129 and A12 do have some similarities but are actually quite different in person. I look at a both boats a FLIBS and the have learned a lot from the MF1295 that makes this much better in my opinion.
They have a bit more work to do to get it to prime-time. That Port salon back rest, when adjusted to look to the stern...they should put a pop-up foot rest there or who ever is sitting there will be constantly thrown aft. The other forward Port back-rest, when adjusted to look forward, rides up against the table. Put a big person there, either the leather will rip or the table may tilt. Also, not sure that was a high-low TV. Also, since the Starboard deck is wider, most may want to moor up on that side as much as possible. With that nice drop-down, you probably wouldn't use it much inport as it would block people on the dock. Definitely would be nice at anchor. Just a couple thoughts 🙂 Nice tour though, thanks!
Another great tour Nick. Is the tv a hi-lo or easily removable? If not, I’m thinking it presents quite a block on window viewing if the weather is a bit nippy and people are inside.
Hi Nick...... lovely boat and loved the tour....... but...... does this mean if you've only got the two hundreds you've got a couple of ZOOs ? Haha...... Think i'd stick with the triple cows! Cheers S
Are these manufacturers not feeling any pricing pressure from tightening credit markets? I suppose if your customer is buying a $750k boat, they don’t need to finance it. It just seems like the prices keep inflating and unlike the housing market, I’d think boat buyers would have more options.
lol I'm sorry, but the design of putting a TV directly behind both the stovetop and the oven is just wildly irresponsible. Obviously you're not supposed to have it up when cooking, but even stored away, that heat from both devices is going to effect the TV. I wouldn't expect that thing to be usable after more than a year.
just rewatching a lot these vlogs and noticed something about this boat wouldn't you moor forward to get the engines out the water then all that stuff on the front everyone can see you from the dock but great from anchor that's a lot cushion to store asp in uk boating if not needed
@Navy1977Beneteau group for their outboards (so Beneteau and Jeanneau) price their boats in the EU without motors for some reason. Hence the perceived huge "extras"
Yeah for some reason they list the price of the boat without the motors. Not sure why - maybe because different options for motors (2x v10 vs 3x v8) but I can say they keep the options to being real OPTIONS (at least in the US) as the base boat is pretty well spec'd.
L'utilizzo di motori fuoribordo gia' di per se' mi piace, mi alletta e mi stuzzica. Bellissima barca, a me piace. Mio modestissimo parere , mio gusto ( soggettivo )😊
Something different with unique options. They are all out of my price range & living more inland owning a boat is not so practical unless you can trailer it. I do love watching & living vicariously through Nick’s videos while exercising during our winter months though. Thanks Nick.🙏🇨🇦👍
Cracking little boat. Great spec. In the boat world Nick how quickly and much do the boats depreciate in cost. Obviously in cars it is quite significant. Great tour btw.
So many variables but approx 30% in 5 years and 50% in 10 years. They then tend to hit a bit of a plateau and slowly trickle down to the floor price. A boat of this size and spec I can't envisage ever dropping below £90k regardless of age.
Very nice, complete boat with lots of flexibility for seating options. 3/4 of a million Euros seems high, but that may include everything shown here, and not the base price (Nick, correct me if I'm wrong). If so, try pricing a Porsche. Sure, they may start at €60k, but then you'll need to buy all the 'options', like a steering wheel, tires, engine, headlights etc.
I can't comment on the European Spec, but I do know they offer the boat at a pretty base level. However, in the US the A12 comes in a pretty high spec (Genset, AC, etc) and options are pretty reasonable. So this is pretty close to a loaded boat at a USD equivalent price.
Interesting! I always wonder why boats don't have equal size guest cabins. You can invite two couples without one having a better cabin than the other. Or you have two adolescent kids, which will sooner than later have a partner. But reality seems different :D Another great video. The way you present a 34 meter Majesty and a 12 meter Beneteau with the same respect, is outstanding.
@@dark2ooth Warranty invalidated if owner applies hinge grease I assume? Just jokes - it's a new model - but WOW it was just weirdly incongruous to the rest of the craft!
I am the owner of an Antares 12 2006 with Volvo D6 inboards, which I believe are better engines. I paid 115,000 eur 5 years ago. How is possible these boat cost 800,000 eur ???? I would not upgrade even if I had the money
Sorry Nick, but imo it’s not necessary to open so much of these regular cabinets/storage we all know by now. You can use all that time instead for going a bit slower with your overview/impression shots.
I Mean nearly 800.000€ are a very nice house here in Germany. I don't see where this boat is worth as much as a house with huge garden honestly. Prices went upside dramatically these days, whow....
I mean, if you want a very nice house with a huge garden in Germany, then you're better off buying that, definitely. I mean, people buying boats like this brand new generally already have a house. 🙂
Great boat, but for me, if you have a door at the helm,why wouldn't you put a door in the gunnel right outside the helm door as well, to give easy pontoon access when singled handed. Great tour as always Nick.
the Antares 11 has this feature and it's SORELY missed in this boat. I wish they would have kept that from the Antares 11. Otherwise, this boat is a huge upgrade in every other way.
Cracking use of space Nick, very impressive tbh. A bit of a downer though is that price reflecting just how badly Our Fiat Currency has Lost its Purchasing Power. 😡 But likely to be addressed pretty soon imho. 👍 Best Wishes.Bob. 🤔⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️
Interesting whit outboard engines. Is Jeanneau/Beneteau the same, otherwise it would be nice whit a comparison between the two boats. Seems pretty the same.
The 1295 and the Antares 12 are surprisingly more different then you would think. I got to see both at FLIBS and I prefer the Antares 12 quite a bit more. They fixed a lot of little things since the Antares 12 was developed after the 1295
I actually think that 3rd cabin could be very useful: in addition to over-flow sleeping, it could make a cozy little den with a flatscreen TV opposite a convertible bed/settee. You could even put a small coffee table on the aft side of the room between the bed and the TV. With the convertible bed/couch, you could use it as a bed when needed, but otherwise use it as a sort of secondary saloon on the lower deck. I think one thing I love about cruisers is how creative you can be to try and maximize accommodation for limited space. It's like working a puzzle.
First thought,... That kinda price for a Beneteau with outboards 🤔 Next seeing 6 berths, excellent master bathroom and dayhead. A well equiped drivers workplace. Sufficient "kitchen" plus TV. A nice sesting inside, aft and fly plus a rather big and practical entertainment area on the bow. In short, a lot of boat for a friendly price.
This might be our next boat - the 3 cabin 2 head layout is nearly perfect. Love outboards too. Everything else similar to this Antares 12 is Volvo DPS powered which has a very expensive maintenance and repair tax. A couple of Verado’s can be serviced anywhere!
Always a compromise, but never on The Wave! While I do like a lot of the features, I do feel this would be nicer with a bit more room, perhaps enough to go galley-down with a lower deck lounge area to match.
Great tour as always, thank you. However I don't think its a good idea to put the TV right were you are doing the cooking and washing up, it could spoil it. The bolster chair at the front, will rub on the table whilst in motion. Also you would think they would have sprayed the owners cabin door with a bit of WD40 before the show. Other than that its a nice boat.
One of my favorites so far. Those big boys are nice to see, but this little guy (not so little) is much more manageable/reasonable. Now I just need to navigate that 762,000 price tag...
Enjoyable tour of a great boat for two, decent boat for four and a weekender for six and even occasionally eight. Sleeping versatility sums it up well, and without sooooo many options a decent price.
Wait a second... I don't really get the price. On the official website is 415k (base price and no vat i guess) but i guess that the 740+ k in the title is full optional and maybe also with vat somehow... Otherwise it makes no sense 😅
You clearly have an absolute command of the English language, but I have noticed that you often refer to the head as the "heads" or "head's", with an "s" sound at the end. I wonder if this means that the proper name for it is actually "heads"? Thank you very much for your wonderful boat reviews! ✅
