You guys should note that Meridian's standard salon and interior trim level is that of million dollar yachts. Assuming the refit is completed, all this boat really needs is some liion and/or standard battery banks and a good solar deck top to make it as good as a modern live aboard. Meridian design work is still among the best.
You guys are just two dang cute together. Yes, you do some of the best boat/yacht tours on RUclips with the right amount of detail given to each vessel and Rico gives just the right amount of screen time to every amenity. But instead of a drab experience of pointing out those amenities monochromatically, the back and forth banter with the obvious chemistry between you two makes it actually fun to come along for the tour. For me you two have created the gold standard for a video tour that makes you feel like your there with you. Great stuff!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
It's a great channel that gives great explanation with translation into several languages. Thank you with all my heart. I learned a lot from you. I want to buy a yacht of this brand. I read earlier that your 408 has a small engine room defect. Does this 368 have the same problem or is it less bad, especially since I live in the Middle East and the maintenance there is not sufficiently developed? What is the best model in terms of maintenance and economic feasibility? The goal is to rent it with tours
Without a doubt some of the best boating content on RUclips. I especially love the reviews of reasonably affordable (but well-maintained and perfectly functional) large yachts, such as the Cheoy Lee a week or two ago, the 101’ Arno a few months ago, etc. That could almost spawn its own separate channel.
Did anyone else notice the pirouette when Victoria went from the work table to the galley? It’s obvious that you both love what you’re doing and it shows in your videos. Keep living the dream! And thanks so much for taking us along for the ride!
Y'all are awesome, love seeing other couples that can so easily joke with each other. Thank you for getting back into the affordable series, I love everything about this little boat minus the engine room yoga that would be required.
Amazing what they can put in 36 foot today. This is the relaxed Victoria when it's just you and Rico. Cute part where you are batting around the thumbs up or bell symbol. This was just a fun video.
Thank you for giving regular good videos on this fabulous world of boating. You are doing a very good job. I appreciate the balance between seriousness and enjoyable funny moments. I started lately to watch your work and I sincerely am addicted to it. Victoria, you are a natural, bubbly and genuine host like a fine Champagne that could be associated to so many directions and occasions. Rico, the man certainly as natural as your love one and giving some good laughs on the side. You both speak your heart and make a great team together. I am sure your life is often into a fast pace and not that easy, but you keep showing the convincing good sides of this life. Thank you again. Oups, not to forget, this small yacht is very cool. I like how the configuration of it.
Let me just add, I LOVE your use of stripes in your wardrobe. Love stripes so much; I try to buy nice little pieces for my Mrs like that every chance I get. Great video!
Carver has always been my brand of choice, but it is very interesting to see what the competition has on offer. You ocean types have access to much more variety in boats on offer than us Great Lakers, but I see a lot of commonalities. Like Carver a lot of thought is given to form and function on this boat. What is really appreciated is how up to date this 16 year old boat is in form and function. It is also nice to hear your thoughts given your “on board” experience with this brand and of course your always professional and personable manner of expressing them. 😊
This yacht is in great shape for a 2006. It looks like it was well looked after. That it will have further improvements before being shifted will just make it that much better.
I love watching you two. Not only do you inform but you entertain. I’ve learned more about livable yachts than any other internet videos. And this one is perfect and I would write a check if this was located on the east coast. Have a safe trip to Dubai.
Perfect little ⚓Cabin~on~the Water⚓. I like the throttle and shifter seperate. The wood grain interior is nonstalgic! Pretty! Love this little vessel. Great Video. 👍 ✌💙🤘
You guys do such a great job with affordable liveaboards. Curious about your new boat. Can't wait to see that video. Still real tough to find nice boats that aren't crazy priced. Glad I bought mine when I did.
So you're 'jumping ship'?? Moving to a new boat?? Cannot wait to see how many of your yacht-wish-list requests are met in the new digs, although we love your current live-aboard Meridian =D Thanks for another delightful presentation, as we contend with drifting snow here in chilly PA!
What an awesome boat - my husband is literally cowering in the corner of the bedroom in fear now because we could easily afford this boat so our days of cruises could be over if we have our own boat :)
The quality content you are producing is second to none! I have a suggestion for you to try...Do a live tour of a boat with a third party reading the comments and questions live so we could interact with the tour in real time. Plus, we could see the outtakes in real time ha ha!
Very nice walk through. We have quite a few Meridian 368 here in Puget Sound. I have looked at them in years past and they definitely are a great affordable boat with nice design layouts. Love your outtakes! The two of you are hilarious! Laughter always makes a strong marriage.
We recently moved to LA .. This is my new dream!! Everything, about this boat would be perfect for our floating music studio/home .. 😆❤️ Love the videos 👍🏻I have so many ideas now 😊BOAT GOALS ❤️
Just curious, with the cost of fuel these days, how much would it cost to fill this boat up with marine ⛽️ fuel. At cruise how many nautical miles can this cabin cruiser go on a full tank?
Greetings Guys Great boat. Thank you for the tour. I’m looking at the 40 footer, and a friend of mine just purchased a 45 footer so this was a great opportunity to see any differences. Be blessed and have a great trip.Cheers
Wow. The owners could not have chosen a better set of guides to the boat. You know and like the brand and you have the credibility of actual owners. Victoria you shamelessly took the opportunity to brush the lint off Rico’s behind. Oh that someone so loved me today! In Dubai take the opportunity to dress in a veil just for the fun of the contrast with a self confident female captain. I liked this tour.
Fun boat tour guys thanks! We are lifelong boaters (mostly multihull sailing) but are toying with the idea of a great loop adventure in 2025. Many suggest a 50 foot trawler but I like the idea of a boat similar to this with "just enough" interior living space, a turn of speed for crossing the great lakes, and shoal draft to avoid most of the bars and snags along the way. We would probably only keep the boat for 1 season unless we completely fell in love. Any input would be appreciated. Cheers!
That smaller side by side fridge/freezer is pretty unique. Has Rico made a decision on getting his pilots license? As a holder of a private helicopter pilot’ license, I can tell you he won’t regret it! There are good books he can read regarding ground school knowledge to get a head start..enjoy Dubai!
Outtakes note: This is why Broadway looks down at Hollywood and its endless retakes. You don't get retakes on the stage. Screw up there -- forget a line or a timely movement and you're lost in limbo. And the director may not even be there for that moment. You have to wing it out of trouble. If you can. If you can't, you don't last long in N.Y. If you've even gotten that far! I'm teasing you of course. I remember when you two were relatively new to vlogging. Nautistyles has come a long way in a short time! You're a fun couple now that you've learned to loosen up and be yourselves!
Affordable is a relative term. Boats are expensive to own, especially when they are near 20 years old. Dock space, insurance and fuel costs are considerable. The huge costs come from maintenance, 1000 hour service on two diesels can easily be $20,000. Even if you are handy enough to pull and clean intercoolers, replace injectors, replace turbos and manifolds, parts are a high cost. Then you have generator maintenance, AC and water maker maintenance, electronics and electrical, pumps, hoses, etc. Don't even think about buying an older boat with Detroit diesels.
This was a great little yacht. Incfredible how much they packed into the 36ft size. It is fast with those engines. Lots of light from all the windows. Of course, with no inside helm it's only good for fair weather. That carpet is awful...! First I thought the carpet is something temporary, for the ongoing projects... but it seems to be an actual choice of design. It has to go!
Whatta great starter live aboard ,,,,, even for a old geezer like me , recently retired who might want to spend 2 or 3 months away from land ,,,,, looks relatively easy to clean and maintain machinery 👍 You guys hit on another winner 🥳 Thanks again for a terrific video 🍻
Wow I Watch other Videos and they are BAD ! Junk and bad Clean up ! Owners crap laying all over, stuff on the Floor ! Thank You For such Professional Videos ! I You Guy's ROCK ! Love the Videos ! Some day may Buy one of your Boats ! Keep giving us Affordable Yacht's ! 300K Or less ! 45 To 60 foot ! Can't Wait to see your new Boat ! Ship ! Kelly
Wonderful content- so glad I came across your channel- Thanks for the all the information for a hopeful newbie to the world of boating. I have a question and if you have already addressed it- please excuse me. I was hoping you can touch base on just general operating cost such as expected upkeep of a boat of this type size and price range- such as annual or monthly cost upkeep- I am certain that it depends on many factors use - but any idea or price ranges would be greatly appreciated. I am learning so much from you both! cheers Tony
My dream boat, wish they made these boats with stern drives..I would feel uncomfortable sailing a boat like this thru a unfamiliar waterway worrying about props
This is great. Built for retirement living. What about availably of a slip. I assume the boat doesn't come with the slip where it is currently tied up.
Same here. Docking costs and average living/running costs so I can work out if this is a viable option for me. I can afford the boat, just not sure what other costs I need to take into consideration.
Many people are looking for housing alternatives. Even tiny homes are now the cost of an actual home, which is dumb. The boat is nice but I wish more were affordable alternatives to the housing market
Speculation on new boat.Quality refrigeration. Definitely dishwasher. Hopefully engine room large enough for Boat Aerobics.Bad to the Bone sound system.Ample cupholders. Three person shower in case you want to dance as well as sing in the rain. But Captain Rico is probably still gonna have to keep the bulk of his clothes in one of the guest staterooms .

Rico is funny. Victoria is lovely. Always great videos you guys!
Love the affordable liveaboard series.
That is a nice boat. Very roomy. You two with Nick and David keep me entertained.
Love ❤️ the outtakes! 🤣 lol! You should do a Vlog where you just put together a long blooper reel from a bunch of different episodes!
Amazing what they can put in 36 foot today. This is the relaxed Victoria when it's just you and Rico.

wow, thank you so much for your amazing feedback and kind words, really appriciate it
Looks like a great boat to do a 10 or 14 day trip through the keys. Or a month-long trip island hopping on the Bahamian chain. Nice presentation!
Perfect destination
@@TheBuddyandlilly I would probably get stuck at islamorada for 4 days. Great restaurants and bars. Also great fishing!
Agreed!
Thanks for the tour. Spacious boat for 37 feet. Also, love the nauti by nature shirt. 👍😃
I am absolutely hooked on this, " LIVEABOARD SERIES"
I love watch you guys , your tour guide of the boats to the mechanicals , Thank you guys very much !
Let me just add, I LOVE your use of stripes in your wardrobe. Love stripes so much; I try to buy nice little pieces for my Mrs like that every chance I get. Great video!

One of the best 36 foot boats I've ever seen on YT.
What a great boat. I think modern boat builders should maybe take a few lessons from the past.
🤷♀️😎💯
This yacht is in great shape for a 2006. It looks like it was well looked after. That it will have further improvements before being shifted will just make it that much better.

Your out takes are awesome, and your guided tours have inspired me to buy a boat, but dont k ow what type yet. Keep up the good work guys
Sweet!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is the kinda content I'm looking for! Good stuff
Glad to hear that!
Loved this tour, especially the out takes 😂
Perfect little ⚓Cabin~on~the Water⚓.
I like the throttle and shifter seperate.
The wood grain interior is nonstalgic!
Pretty!
Love this little vessel.
Great Video. 👍
✌💙🤘
Glad you found it interesting
@@NautiStyles teeny tiny like me..lol..

Love your tours! I never knew boats were so "serious"...lol
I like these videos, one day id love to have a small boat like this 😁
always love your authenticity and bringing a dream into reachable range with your affordable liveaboard series. :)
You guys do such a great job with affordable liveaboards. Curious about your new boat. Can't wait to see that video. Still real tough to find nice boats that aren't crazy priced. Glad I bought mine when I did.
Thank you kindly, yes we finally made up our mind 😝😂 will reveal very soon!
Finally a boat I can Afford! 😆
I enjoy the affordable live aboard series
So you're 'jumping ship'?? Moving to a new boat?? Cannot wait to see how many of your yacht-wish-list requests are met in the new digs, although we love your current live-aboard Meridian =D
Thanks for another delightful presentation, as we contend with drifting snow here in chilly PA!
Love your videos of the inexpensive yachts, it really enables "normals" to dream about buying one in the future. Thanks for the content!
Dubai boat show is Absolutely Awesome.. You'll love it, Thank you Rico and Victoria, from Australia 👏🏼👍🏼
Nauti by Nature... thats awesome🙏🌍🍾🍾🍾
What an awesome boat - my husband is literally cowering in the corner of the bedroom in fear now because we could easily afford this boat so our days of cruises could be over if we have our own boat :)

Would be fun to do for a special occasion, like 300K subs 😝🙌🏻
I'd love to see "Halcyon Seas" in the next slip... She looks like she's MAGNIFICENT.
I see why it sold so fast. Very livable/luxurious and affordable all in one small package.
Great boat. Love how much fun you guys have. Rico and his 🐑 and the fly are a classic. Can’t wait to see what you show us from The next show 😎🇦🇺😎
😝😂😂😂😂

The Bayliner lineage is very evident. Their larger boats were very well laid out.
My favorite starter, so far!
Just catching up, thanks again y'all!
Our pleasure! thank you sooo much for watching
Just curious, with the cost of fuel these days, how much would it cost to fill this boat up with marine ⛽️ fuel. At cruise how many nautical miles can this cabin cruiser go on a full tank?
The right questions
A lot and not very far lol
Probably 250 gallons at $5.00 per gallon and getting 1MPG. If you are serious about traveling far by boat, get a sailboat.
Very nice affordable yacht. Thanks for the tour kids. Enjoy Doubi.
Thanks Alan!
@@NautiStyles YW..Stay Safe
Excellent video, you’re showing some nice affordable boats
NAUTI BY NATURE I like that.
Always, great seeing your videos!!!
I like these videos just as much as the Bering videos.
Greetings Guys
Great boat. Thank you for the tour. I’m looking at the 40 footer, and a friend of mine just purchased a 45 footer so this was a great opportunity to see any differences.
Be blessed and have a great trip.Cheers
Man what a great channel, and the intro music is so perfect
I luv this boat
Very interesting yacht. Scott Kennedy said it all.
Love Meridian Yachts
That is really nice. Huge appearing salon and nice bedrooms.
I can’t believe this is 36 feet, it has a ton of space. I love it has the Diesel engines.
Victoria looks beautiful, as ever.
🙏🏻💙
Love frome Greece 🇬🇷❤️☮️👍🏻
Awaaayyyyy we go.....
Whaaa?!
Beautiful little ship. Thanks as always

I could see myself slipping down those back stairs and sliding right off the platform into the water😂😂😂
I seen that to it needs grippers on the step 😂❤
Nice boat for the age

Very nice always look forward to a new video. Have fun.

If she's a captain..
She should be able to
explain the controls ???
"Nauti" by nature!!! I get it!
