This guy does not come across as a pompous ass as some of these other boat sellers. He’s seems very honest and down to earth. He’s really knowledgeable and does a fantastic job pointing out the hidden features. If I ever buy a boat it will be from him! Well done!
I went to school for it and I used to work on yachts in my 20s but after two seasons I switched to automotive instead because you make double the money but I had hated yachts at the time but its nice watching these videos as a fan and daydream about having a boat like this now that I'm a little older.
When xrp rises to 200 dollars, i'm buying this yacht alright, and then i can even affort to pay 10% of the purchase price, every year to maintain it, because nothing in the world is more expensive to maintain than a yacht. I would love to own one like this or even smaller and cheaper, but they are a money pit and you never get the money back that you put into it but that's why they are rich men's toys, because they earn more than they spend so what the heck is their motto and buy those expensive toys, use them, sell them and buy something newer.
@@edaneo11 I'm a commercial captain, I can dock a boat, step off and hitch it. I do it 5 times an hour, 30 times a day. And yes, also in bad weather, raining locusts, the night of an blue moon eclipse, etc.
@@ldanzamariastile3536 I would start with chartering a small boat (20ft plus) for a season, with a competent instructor, and do it old school first. Meaning no thrusters, IPS engines etc. Just throttle and rudder. Take your time and enjoy the process of learning, don't rush it, that's how you will fall in love with being on the water in your own boat. In my commercial captain's course, there were also a lot of pleasure boaters who simply wanted to learn more and be competent on the water. So I would highly recommend taking the first level of a commercial license, which in Canada allows me to drive a 5 ton boat and take up to 12 passengers if I so desire. The knowledge you gain in a commercial captain's course puts you above 90% of all other pleasure boaters. The primary stress in handling a boat is docking and undocking, especially in a crowded marina. So work with a captain who is also a good teacher and do at least 100 dockings in various types of weather conditions over the course of the season. Once you are comfortable with that, stick with your small boat until you start to feel you've outgrown it, then move up to a bigger one by 10ft plus. If you keep chartering, then you would not loose much money as opposed to buying one and the hassle that comes with it. You can also get to try out a variety of boats before you decide what you actually like as opposed to what you thought you liked. For me personally, I would want to be able to single hand a boat because when I go out to quiet coves, I don't want anyone around me, so I don't want a crew. This will determine the size of the boat which you will get, which for me will be around 50ft. But if you want crew, then the sky is the limit. Hope this helps.
i recently starting towing a van well it's been two years to be exact i know you can't compare the two but i did the same process as you explained here for example learning hot to hitch the caravan to the car and unhitching the caravan learning manoeuvring with the caravan on narrow roads turning corners etc now i'm very confident because of all the pratice, but with the boat i immagine you will need navigation skills seeing as there re no road signs at sea i can immagine docking to be the same as un hitching a caravan
I honestly have no idea how I ended up on this channel as I am not a boating enthusiast but after watching about 20-30 of your videos I’m dreaming of owning a yacht! That being said out of all the tours I have seen this is the one I’d love to own if I won the lottery or somehow made it big. I tried watching another video tour from someone else’s RUclips channel and found them unwatchable, the way you go about your tours it’s very apparent that you do this because you love yachts and it’s nice to see someone geek out about all the little details.
As a engineer and have worked with marine engines etc, I don’t know how they manage to price the boat at 500k. There must 150k just in engines & plumbing! Not to mention the flawless finish through out, outstanding attention to detail. Great tour as usual!
If you were to build a Ford Fiesta from scratch, from bits, it would cost you many times over what a new Fiesta costs Ford to make. It's about scale and production lines. Princess buy in bulk, manage in bulk, have production teams. As one crew moves onto one boat being build another crew moves over to do something else on a different boat in a different stage of production. But if you were to start a shipyard you'd find it impossible to get this finish at this price. But then back in the Princess were that bit less finished... they took time and experience and 'company culture' to get where they can do this for this price.
@@rykehuss3435 No it would not. a Manhattan 55 from Sunseeker has a list of £1.255m for a very basic spec (you don't even get winches or wood decking) most M55's retail at £1.7-£1.9m + VAT.
princess should pay u for advertising their boats all the time, i dream of having a boat like this one day truly outstanding bits of kit, love your videos
Fantastic once again Nick You mention the attention to detail on the vessel, well I love the attention to detail that you include in your videos My only complaint, is that you didn’t say “Hey, it’s me” in the mirror 😂 You got to make that your thing !!! Many thanks sir 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You've made the best out of this video. I doubt 90% of all of us watching your clips have anything to do with boats and that means something. Good job! 👏👏
@aquaholic I am not much of a boat guy but i cant stop watching your videos. You are are great presenter and take the time to note the small details without going too overboard. Thank you for sharing all of these fantastic yachts
This is probably one of my favorite boats on this channel. Also, this is one of the most underrated channels on RUclips. These videos are so addicting.
Anyone else like me who watches and dreams of owning one, do you think this is a bargain. Doesn’t look too intimidating. And the finish is exceptional. I’d be very happy with this boat!
Amazing how Princess fit so many facilities complete with quality woods and upholstery and maintain as much headroom in a 47 foot boat. A fabulous boat worthy of the Princess name presented by the best reviewer on the marine circuit. Thanks Nick.
Princess makes fantastic yachts and this is no different, I could actually see myself buying this. Normally I drool helplessly over the larger yachts hoping to own one, THIS however is whit in reach. I love the blue stripe around the rear of the vessel. Very nice video, great presentation. Cheers
Fantastic use of space! Thanks for showing the attention to detail, it’s the best part of your videos. That handle/locking mechanism on the top deck hatch is pure class as is the electric seating on the rear.
That is the first time I've seen a yacht with a sliding patio couch. Even yachts costing twice as much sometimes don't have that! Amazing how much of a difference it makes when having guests crowing the deck and you really need an extra foot of space...
The attention to details..... cracks me up ,but puts a smile on my face. Love your videos, Great to watch ,and one has to say,what a fantastic job you do.
Thanks Nick, I'm so addicted to your videos, they are great. Head and shoulders above ANYONE else on RUclips. Also, feel free to keep "geeking out". It's good info and you are not wasting our time. I think I can speak for the rest of us who are clearly addicted to "Boat Porn"
This boat and similar sized Princesses should sell well. Sunseeker made the mistake imo of not building the smaller boats anymore and start at 50ft. Theres a large market for 39- 50 and this 45 is the business. Great video as always nick
You must buy and sell boats like hot cakes Your articulation, enthusiasm and obvious expertise surely have people queuing up on both sides of the fence to have you as a broker.
I can’t stop replaying this vid Nick, I’ve watched it over a dozen times now!, & to be honest, this boat has everything I could need, it’s just beautiful, I had the opportunity to look round one berthed in Abu Tig marina in El Gouna, Egypt, it blew my mind !, for a small boat, the space & equipment, quality of finish just blew me away!, BUT , I would love to see the F55 fly hardtop, I believe it has an extra cabin mid ships, so would love to see you do a detailed tour. 😉👍
Same here: I've replayed it multiple times, often at three-quarter speed (or even half-speed) so I don't miss any details on the visuals that might not be mentioned on the review audio (never many, though there are one or two things to discover for myself.) The problem with this is that I also have to do it with sound muted sometimes too, because once I've heard Nicks voiceover so that I know it almost off by heart, I can manage better than trying to get my head round hearing it slowed down: Since RUclips slows down audio, but retains the original pitch, it has the effect of making Nick sound as though he's pissed
If your interested I’ve just seen this lovely boat sea trailed by utuber Capt Pat Kelly on lake Washington, it’s very impressive, he covers how good this machine really is, because of social distancing, he does everything one handed & on his own, holding a GoPro!. All the yachts technology is explained , you can definitely use the lovely piece of kit on your Jack Jones!.
"I hope you enjoyed that tour..." Dude...how could we NOT enjoy it? You're fantastic! LOL Seriously, if I ever get to the point where I can buy one of these boats, you're invited on board! :D
@@AQUAHOLIC I like the way that seat slides back at the push of a button. To think I was pleased years ago when I got a car with electric windows for the first time !
What a beautiful boat and with two fridges and a washing machine very practical so might just get used. I remember sailing school and sailing down the trots the instructors would show us all the boats that never moved, millions and millions just sitting there. You Tube popped up a Sea Trial of this boat by Capt. Pat Kelly in America and he demonstrated all the capabilities, pushing the boat sideways and pivoting to manouvre out of a pretty tight berth, then using dynamic positioning so whereas Nick has to rush round pulling his fenders in the F45 just stays put while you stroll about and put them away. Sadly my inheritance won't quite stretch to this one, might have to bump my sister off too.
I have always loved the Sunseeker 52 (which they have stopped making) would always be my first choice. But this Princess 45F has just trumped it. And it is basically half the price. These size yachts you could live on them but they never had a big enough freezer. But again Princess has done the business. What a great yacht.
I love your videos there are the coolest yachts on your channel even though I’ll probably never be able to afford a yacht I could watch your videos all day
5 feet always makes a huge difference when it comes to boats under around 90 feet. You ask any boat designer about some boat they designed and how they would make it better, 99% of them would say "I'd add 5 feet"
I have to admit, this is probably my favorite 'smaller' boat around at the moment. So much attention to detail and interior quality the same at the mulit-millions pound vessels. It looks amazing from the outside also. I wonder if princess would like me test one for a while 😊
Interesting to see some things which are common place and pretty much industry/design standard in private jet galley/storage, coming across into boat design. Draws with peg dividers for crockery, and drawers/stowage cupboard with cut outs/recesses for individual items of stemware so they don't move around and possibly get damaged etc. All very nice to see.
Gorgeous boat, well specced and luxuriously presented, though I have to admit that I couldn't get myself as excited as you did over the Princess Crown logo on the electrical socket panels and on the cleat mountings. As a feature, that one earns little more than a "M'eh".
For what it's worth, the geeking out is what makes your videos so good. Sure it's informative, but you do it from the perspective of someone who knows the impact these details can have on actual daily usage - which is uncommon for reviews of these yachts. I'm planning on buying a yacht next summer and I'll be looking at some of the models you've had your channel first.
brilliant Video Nick , Thanks a lot. Could really see and feel your enthusiasm for this vessel. It is a great beat, perfect for 2, 3 people in the Med.
Stumbled across your reviews a couple of days ago. Been on somewhat of a binge since. Enjoy your delivery and obvious enthusiasm for the boats and the work that goes into building them. I don’t own a boat myself. I go sailing on my Dad’s Jeannaeu sailing yacht a couple of times a year which is always fun. Off to Troon in September to have a sail around there. Maybe I should make my own video 😀 Looking forward to your next review.
i lllloooooovvveeee it! i was a big fairline fan but the attention to detail on this boat is astonishing. i will definately visit a marine to have a closer look. Thanks a million
I had a look on one of these in Southampton. It’s just as good as you made out. If I was in the fortunate position of being shopping for a new boat and if the boat was for a couple and occasional guests I would have this over the bigger Princesses. I thought it was elegant, comfortable and very practical.
Wow they have packed alot of detail and features into 45 ft. There's nothing wrong with "geeking out" over the surprise and delight features as you called them in the F62 review. I am exactly the same. Good video. :-)
Not loving the tiny port side walkthrough tho. Imagine carrying luggage up that, when you got a dinghy on the platform and cant use the proper walkthrough
@@rykehuss3435 with a small boat, its about which compromises you are going to make. I'd compromise lifting a suitcase over that gap twice a trip, to having more seating room when I'm on board.
Barry Gasgarth Thats true. Though if I owned this boat I'd want to have it without the extra seating area and instead a normal walkthrough on both sides since I wouldnt plan on having tons of guests on board.
A great video as always Nick, princess have finally used the extending cockpit idea sealine had 20 years ago, I'm surprised more manufacturers haven't.
I totally agree with your enthusiasm. Personally I would have carried the logo frenzy all the way to the Head. I would have Princess Crown logo's engraved in strategic spots of the toilet seat face in order to be certain of leaving a lasting impression. All kidding aside, your work is similarly bursting with attention to detail. Descending the ladder to the Engine room without a jumpcut, brilliant!
Nick as always fantastic review. This is a well put together boat. After spending many days and hours cruising on a Fairline 40 and 48 flybridge this certainly looks a very good boat.
It initially appears from watching the film, that the rear couch sliding back over the transom only achieves more leg room for the table, rather than more deckspace in the cockpit; but examination of the foot of the cockpit table, and the fact that there appears to be more mounting sockets further back, would seem that you might be able to re-site the cockpit table further back too, giving the promised extra cockpit deck space, enough at least, to have room for a couple of rear facing directors chairs on the opposite side of the table. Also, looking at Princess's brochure for this boat, it would seem that there is also the option of a 'filler' seat, to join up the front/port end of the cockpit sofa with the little seat adjacent to the sliding doors. This would provide significantly more seating in the cockpit, though it's a mystery where this extra seat would be stored when not in use.
Nice boat, Nick. One thing I don't like though is the electrical distribution panel located where it is. It would be preferable on the bulkhead going down the steps forward. I can see a child playing with those buttons and whatnot inside that seat-side panel; I didn't see a lock on the hatch either. Otherwise, fantastic boat. Thanks for taking us along!
This guy does not come across as a pompous ass as some of these other boat sellers. He’s seems very honest and down to earth.
He’s really knowledgeable and does a fantastic job pointing out the hidden features.
If I ever buy a boat it will be from him!
Well done!
Agreed, that's why his channel has exploded from inception.
True, He has sold me on about $200million worth of boats in the last hour if I had the money.
He's got his own boat and actually uses it - a rare occurrence in my experience to be honest ;-)
By far and away the best at it on RUclips.
EDIT: PS. *Top tip:* Make sure you opt for the 4-wheel drive model if you're mooring in Courchevel! ;)
Ok, how many quid did Mr. Burnham pay you to post that?
Jk, he always does a great job......................................
İ dont have yacht and maybe im not gonna buy a boat any soon.But im still watching your channel.And im addicted.Make more videos man. :)
Haha, great to have you aboard, and lots more coming! :)
Im in the same boat (or not) :D
Same thing here I had no interest in yachts before.
Likewise but now I want a Mangusta.
I went to school for it and I used to work on yachts in my 20s but after two seasons I switched to automotive instead because you make double the money but I had hated yachts at the time but its nice watching these videos as a fan and daydream about having a boat like this now that I'm a little older.
When you have watched so many superyacht videos with prices anywhere between 1 and 100 million dollars that 500k acctually seems affordable
But it's pounds, it would be like a mill in dollars. Expensive but nice.
When xrp rises to 200 dollars, i'm buying this yacht alright, and then i can even affort to pay 10% of the purchase price, every year to maintain it,
because nothing in the world is more expensive to maintain than a yacht. I would love to own one like this or even smaller and cheaper, but they
are a money pit and you never get the money back that you put into it but that's why they are rich men's toys, because they earn more than they spend
so what the heck is their motto and buy those expensive toys, use them, sell them and buy something newer.
@@3DPeter Planes are even worse.
Exactly! I’m thinking retire on one.
A half a mill won't buy a boat much bigger than 50 ft. Unless it needs the same money put into it.
This would be the one I want. I can imagine myself single handing this comfortably.
Who will throw the line for you, when docking😂😂😂
@@edaneo11 I'm a commercial captain, I can dock a boat, step off and hitch it. I do it 5 times an hour, 30 times a day. And yes, also in bad weather, raining locusts, the night of an blue moon eclipse, etc.
would one need training to navigate a boat like this or would you have to hire a 2 man crew?
@@ldanzamariastile3536 I would start with chartering a small boat (20ft plus) for a season, with a competent instructor, and do it old school first. Meaning no thrusters, IPS engines etc. Just throttle and rudder.
Take your time and enjoy the process of learning, don't rush it, that's how you will fall in love with being on the water in your own boat.
In my commercial captain's course, there were also a lot of pleasure boaters who simply wanted to learn more and be competent on the water. So I would highly recommend taking the first level of a commercial license, which in Canada allows me to drive a 5 ton boat and take up to 12 passengers if I so desire. The knowledge you gain in a commercial captain's course puts you above 90% of all other pleasure boaters.
The primary stress in handling a boat is docking and undocking, especially in a crowded marina. So work with a captain who is also a good teacher and do at least 100 dockings in various types of weather conditions over the course of the season.
Once you are comfortable with that, stick with your small boat until you start to feel you've outgrown it, then move up to a bigger one by 10ft plus.

Note that the final price is not 581k £. The final price for this boat would probably be around 800k+
What's even crazier is it's absolutely normal to get 15% or better discounts on new boats with just minor haggling.
At 800k GBP who would buy this? Just about 200k more and you can get a 55' from Sunseeker.

I have always loved the Sunseeker 52 (which they have stopped making) would always be my first choice. But this Princess 45F has just trumped it. And it is basically half the price. These size yachts you could live on them but they never had a big enough freezer. But again Princess has done the business. What a great yacht.
Love the princess yachts, always finished off with amazing quality and detail.
Very nice, well laid out and some clever design.
i'm watching this video for the 200 time i love it, Nick you're amazing!! this is my dream yacht!!
Mine too.
I love your videos there are the coolest yachts on your channel even though I’ll probably never be able to afford a yacht I could watch your videos all day
Just watched the Princess V40 video, I thought that was a the boat of my dreams.. I didn't know what a huge difference 5 extra feet make! Wow
5 feet always makes a huge difference when it comes to boats under around 90 feet. You ask any boat designer about some boat they designed and how they would make it better, 99% of them would say "I'd add 5 feet"
I have to admit, this is probably my favorite 'smaller' boat around at the moment. So much attention to detail and interior quality the same at the mulit-millions pound vessels. It looks amazing from the outside also. I wonder if princess would like me test one for a while 😊
Stand in line! :D
Love your videos mate you inspiring me to save up and the smaller Princesses like this one are much cosier for family than the super yachts.
Brilliant boat, I love the attention to detail and high quality. Great video, thanks.
Love the flooring in the upper deck.
Not a boat guy, but really enjoy your stuff. Thanks.
My father is ordering this yacht soon and I'm very excited
This is wonderful! Just what I need to cruise around in my dreams!
Interesting to see some things which are common place and pretty much industry/design standard in private jet galley/storage, coming across into boat design. Draws with peg dividers for crockery, and drawers/stowage cupboard with cut outs/recesses for individual items of stemware so they don't move around and possibly get damaged etc. All very nice to see.
Gorgeous boat, well specced and luxuriously presented, though I have to admit that I couldn't get myself as excited as you did over the Princess Crown logo on the electrical socket panels and on the cleat mountings. As a feature, that one earns little more than a "M'eh".
For what it's worth, the geeking out is what makes your videos so good. Sure it's informative, but you do it from the perspective of someone who knows the impact these details can have on actual daily usage - which is uncommon for reviews of these yachts.
I'm planning on buying a yacht next summer and I'll be looking at some of the models you've had your channel first.
Awesome, best of luck with your purchase!
brilliant Video Nick , Thanks a lot. Could really see and feel your enthusiasm for this vessel. It is a great beat, perfect for 2, 3 people in the Med.
Thanks Marc :)
Stumbled across your reviews a couple of days ago. Been on somewhat of a binge since. Enjoy your delivery and obvious enthusiasm for the boats and the work that goes into building them.
I don’t own a boat myself. I go sailing on my Dad’s Jeannaeu sailing yacht a couple of times a year which is always fun. Off to Troon in September to have a sail around there. Maybe I should make my own video 😀
Looking forward to your next review.
Thank you, great to have you aboard AQUAHOLIC! :)
i lllloooooovvveeee it! i was a big fairline fan but the attention to detail on this boat is astonishing. i will definately visit a marine to have a closer look. Thanks a million
Fantastic, brilliant, just love it! Solid, superb detail!
I had a look on one of these in Southampton. It’s just as good as you made out. If I was in the fortunate position of being shopping for a new boat and if the boat was for a couple and occasional guests I would have this over the bigger Princesses. I thought it was elegant, comfortable and very practical.
Thanks! I fully agree, the quality seems equal to their multi million boats, just sized down. You don’t see that ver often.
Just waiting for my lottery ticket to come through for me lol lovely boats thank you for sharing these beautiful machines 👍
Wow they have packed alot of detail and features into 45 ft. There's nothing wrong with "geeking out" over the surprise and delight features as you called them in the F62 review. I am exactly the same. Good video. :-)
Love your videos and how you attend to details.
These Princess boats are my favorite videos of yours.
Keep it up.
Greetings from Denmark
Oh.. and we share the same name as well haha 👍
Greetings to you in Denmark! :)
Favourite lower sized boat so far. Love the electric sliding seats.
Not loving the tiny port side walkthrough tho. Imagine carrying luggage up that, when you got a dinghy on the platform and cant use the proper walkthrough
@@rykehuss3435 with a small boat, its about which compromises you are going to make. I'd compromise lifting a suitcase over that gap twice a trip, to having more seating room when I'm on board.
Barry Gasgarth Thats true. Though if I owned this boat I'd want to have it without the extra seating area and instead a normal walkthrough on both sides since I wouldnt plan on having tons of guests on board.
Yet another great video. This is a lovely boat. As you say the attention to detail is fantastic. Keep up the good work Nick.
Thanks TF, will do!
amazing detail for a smaller vessel. i picked up and subbed your channel from a yt recommendation. been bingewatching for several days now.
Fantastic, great to have you aboard!
This video is not sponsored by Princess, honestly. Nice little boat, looks like a good first cruiser.
A great video as always Nick, princess have finally used the extending cockpit idea sealine had 20 years ago, I'm surprised more manufacturers haven't.
I totally agree with your enthusiasm. Personally I would have carried the logo frenzy all the way to the Head. I would have Princess Crown logo's engraved in strategic spots of the toilet seat face in order to be certain of leaving a lasting impression. All kidding aside, your work is similarly bursting with attention to detail. Descending the ladder to the Engine room without a jumpcut, brilliant!
Your enthusiasm shines through ... another great walkthrough :))
Thanks!
Only 45 foot wow, such a well designed boat, amazing 👌👍
Nick as always fantastic review. This is a well put together boat. After spending many days and hours cruising on a Fairline 40 and 48 flybridge this certainly looks a very good boat.
IPS certainly frees up a lot of space!
Thanks for the tour Nick, fantastic proportions on the boat. Doubt it could be improved in 45ft!
They do indeed seem to have this one spot on!
This is the one for me. Luxury without being too big
It initially appears from watching the film, that the rear couch sliding back over the transom only achieves more leg room for the table, rather than more deckspace in the cockpit; but examination of the foot of the cockpit table, and the fact that there appears to be more mounting sockets further back, would seem that you might be able to re-site the cockpit table further back too, giving the promised extra cockpit deck space, enough at least, to have room for a couple of rear facing directors chairs on the opposite side of the table.
Also, looking at Princess's brochure for this boat, it would seem that there is also the option of a 'filler' seat, to join up the front/port end of the cockpit sofa with the little seat adjacent to the sliding doors. This would provide significantly more seating in the cockpit, though it's a mystery where this extra seat would be stored when not in use.
Really intelligent design, plenty of storage with a high quality fit and finish. Tough decision between it and a sunseeker, just need a lottery win.
Nice boat, Nick. One thing I don't like though is the electrical distribution panel located where it is. It would be preferable on the bulkhead going down the steps forward. I can see a child playing with those buttons and whatnot inside that seat-side panel; I didn't see a lock on the hatch either. Otherwise, fantastic boat. Thanks for taking us along!
I really enjoy these walkthroughs I am hoping to eventually buy a boat of my own
I love this channel and the videos and I love the way that he is so enthusiastic. Great content. 👍
You are right. Very practical ideas on that yacht.
Gorgeous boat, I love the styling. And Volvo power - cannot go wrong 😎🇸🇪
