I love the pronunciation of Buenas.... boonas 😅😅😅😅
Finally a warts and all video showing a family using a nice motor yacht. Very informative.
Ah thank you 😊
Brilliant real world run. Knowing the fuel burn would be an interesting number and a look at the engine room is a must. More out on the water videos are always a treat.
Best video to date. Absolutely brilliant insight into boating and how it works with family. Stunning boat and the best presenter on RUclips 👍
Ah thanks Pop 🥰
Very nice guided tour of this lovely boat.
I would add an alarm for the holding tank when doing your recommended improvements.
Along with Nick from Aquaholic, your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I liked after "What could possibly go wrong?" - not enough character in boating videos generally but yours especially (and NIcks) are! Bravo!
Ah thanks MC 😎
Again...spot on …Lovely lovely video
those passage video makes the channel so dynamic and you just cant stop watching and you want to know what's next!
missed the marina maneuvering clips "going along side and casting off" hope to see them in the next video!
explaining the dashboard is great
going through the pros & cons of the boat is great
showing the plumbing for the waste tank is a bonus.
showing the intended passage plan is enlightening and make you relate to it.
All in all brilliant
please keep them coming
stay safe
Ah thank you 🙏
Great video !!! One of the few showing real facts of boating 👍👍👍
Loved this. a tour of the boat's innards is always great, but we get a MUCH better feel of the boat when we can see it in action. More please :)
Thanks JH. I will try and do more of these 😎
Love your videos James! Great sense of humour! 😂 Honest and informative keep up the great work!
Thanks Andrew. More coming, Squadron 50 next !
thank you for this video. im now in the market for a boat in this size range. big fan of the v58. nice to see a human om it to give the boat perspective, and not just some quick walk thru video.
Thanks Jason! If you want a boat - I will help. Email me james@boats.co.uk 😎
Really good video, really practical
Great video James. Nice to see the family side of the company .
Thanks Paul - they sometimes help 😂
So when the guy was asking for the lenght, I just checked on google for the exact size and the first listing I found was the exact same boat haha.
Nice video, wouldve been cool to see you manoeuvring and parking the boat by yourself!
Yes I agree - a few drone shots of berthing etc - I would have loved to have done that ! Maybe next time. 😎
I am so envious. What a great way to spend you free time with the family. Lovely vessel and it looks like great fun. Thank you for sharing this with us, you are a lucky bloke. Well deserved👌
Ah thank you. I suppose it’s one of the perks of the job - but remember going boating on any boat is good fun 🤩
What a brilliant honest review love the video 👍
Absolutely loved this honest video. Thank you for sharing such a private time with us and giving the bad with the good. Keep them coming.
Ah thanks Nick 😍
Absolutely agree about the TV, if I had a boat like that I wouldn't have a TV on it.
Love your videos because of the honesty and sense of humor of course! Keep up the great work. Happy New Year!
Happy new year 🥳
Informative but also a fun video great to you and family enjoying yourselves.
Also fantastic to see a boat being used.
Keep up the great work James
Thanks Kevin 🥂
That’s such a good and honest review 👍
Best video of 2022, so far, i don't know if you do it on purpose but we miss you
Ah thanks Frankie- we try to get you a new video every 2 weeks. Squadron 50 is next 🥳
Rather scary how good the algorithm for RUclips is. I’m off to look at a 2016 V57 exactly the same as this in two days time!! So rather good video for me to see.
That’s very good. Let me know how you get on as I may have another V57 coming in with warranty. My email is james@boats.co.uk 😎
just a truthful review regarding plugs and shower well done James
Easy fix 😊
I love this guy. Honest, sincere and fun :)
Thanks Goran 😊
This is a great video, made all the better because of the fun and enjoyment you get from actually boating. Love it.
Thanks Jaffa - it was good fun 🤩
It was enjoyable. Like you sharing the experience.
Fantastic video, great to see these boats being properly used. 👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Just discovered these videos. Brilliant 👍🏻
👍🏻
Well done Sir.
Thank you David 🥂
Great vid James, very honest appraisal.
Love the boat. Sailed around Majorca ourselves a couple of years ago,albeit more sedately on a beneteau 41. Not quite as quick and luxurious as your trip!
Thanks John. A boats a boat ! To go boating anywhere on any boat is great fun 🤩
Why not use the ”single lever” function? It is extremely comfortable as soon as you’re out of the docks. (it controls both engines with one lever)
Thank you - I totally forgot 😂
Great video and enjoyed
Lovely video me and the wife enjoy your channel !! Grtz from the Netherlands 🙏🏻
Thanks Kevin. I am glad you enjoy the vids- I love Holland 👌
Fantastic video!
Thanks Matt 😎
Great video....Very informative
Great vid as always. Good to hear the not so good as well as the good stuff 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
😊
Nice boat. A little small and would like something larger. However a good run about. Good video and keep them coming.
Really nice review! V58 is a winner
Great boat..Great presentation. Your personality helps make this video very easy to watch. When you mentioned your brother I expected to see a picture of Ricky Gervais. 😎
😂😂
This is by far one of the best, real world boat reviews I have seen in RUclips. Wish you were located in Wisconsin or Lake Michigan
Ah thanks Michael. I wish I was at Lake Michigan too - I love the US ! 🥳
Great Video. An honest review of the V58. Disappointing no shout window use.....
Really Really enjoyed this video 👍🏻 I am one step closer to buying a boat
Brilliant video thanks 😊
Thanks for the vid,very enjoyable. I like the way you worked the meterage out, I beat you by 1 1/8 of a second or 1.125 for the kids.👍🏻 More of these vids would be brilliant!
So sorry - so slow at maths 😂
Happy New Year to you and the family James :) Brilliant Vlog...such a truthful, great Vlog....and love this boat..... By the way... Amazing editing James !!! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Patricia. The editing is good because it’s done by someone else 😂
Honest and informative.
Thanks Sean
Nice vid, subbed and liked :-)
I like these with the kitchen just below.
Fantastic video yet again 10/10 👍👍👍 could never afford something like this but always good to have a dream
Ah thanks Jason 🙏
Thanks for your charing, lovely boat and I like you can say (and do it) both god and bad of your experience of living on the boat.
Can you do a vid on the new 58 for 22, to see if they fixed your concerns. Still a lovely boat ,keep the vids coming.
The new v58 could be the new v55 although there was briefly a v60 - will see if I come across one . 😎
I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’m really interested in buying something . But I’m not sure if I’m confident enough in handling it myself . Your a great guy and I’m wondering if you would take us for two weeks on one of your boats just to see if it’s for me and the family . What do you think ? 😂
Sounds like a fair deal 😂
Great video but I would have liked to see more of when you docked and the lifestyle around this type of trip.
Yes I agree - I will try to do more of that next time
An interestimg video for a potential boat owner... Just one small point though the actual name of the boat you were on, is "Buenas" ( Spanish and pronounced as BWAY-NAS)meaning "Good"..No wonder there was a little confusion with the port authorities..!! Jajaja
loved it “this is BOONASS BOON-ASS” you’re a star🙊
Great Video, really enjoyed it, i thought you might done a bit of a sell and told us how much the fuel cost for the two weeks and how much to charter the boat mind you!
😂 we do charter boats of course ! Click boats.co.uk and then charter button
Great video.🥰🥰
23:34 thank you for saying this!!! Finally someone who notices a shortcoming that is typical of Princess’ lineup. They jack up prices of their products twice a year, and yet you won’t find a 10-quid USB charger anywhere on their boats. Why?!
Thanks Romeo. I know the designers don’t stay on the boats (and this applies to most brands) so these little details sometimes get overlooked. I will keep pointing out what needs sorting 😎
30 degrees, haha that's cold here in Western Australia.
Too hot for me 😂
What an awesome and informative video, thanks. How many times did you fill up the boat with fuel in the two weeks?
I think it was just one fill up all week - I driver her gently when not on video 😂
Could be wrong but on our motor yacht the two markers on the fuel is not actual and what it thinks, its the Red is your portside tank and green starboard tank level. Love the trip, we have done a few trips to the islands. I would recommend formentera ! We done a few videos of it on the channel
Yes you are right- always learning 😊
Enjoyable and insightful video - just your pronunciation of Andratx and ignorance of the boat's length in meters were a bit shocking ;)
Will be off to Cala D'Or in a bit less than a month myself, but will make do with an 8 meter bow-rider for a few day trips.
did you check the air filter of the black water tank after overloading it?
Yeeees, this is what I needed to see, I just need a way to make the mrs not terrified on the sea now, any tips? She's petrified of deep water.
First charter a big boat with her. If she likes this - you are halfway there. We have 2 charters boats - click boats.co.uk then charter 😊
Leave her at home.
@@jimmyjohnstone5878 tempting!
I could imagine having a beer with this geezer
Boatshows are a good time 🍻
what is the approximate total cost for this particular trip in summer incl. boat rent, fuel, overnight berth etc.? thanks 👍🏻
Great question. I would say it’s about £10k inc fuel, berths and dinners out etc .
Really enjoyed the video☺
Thanks Declan
The red and green needles are for backboard and starboard Engines and Tanks
Brilliant ( I’m buying and me one ) 👍
18:00 the more electronics INside and out of the elements, the better.
Love this great stuff
Ah thanks Colin
Would really like to see the boat docking in port...
We have another Mallorca cruising video coming shortly with lots of docking 🥳
Hi James , brilliant vlog, loved every minute , could I ask probably a stupid question because I know it depends on speed , weather etc , but my question is how many miles did you cover and how much did it cost for fuel ⛽️, thank james 👍👍
250 nautical miles per tank ish
@@Boatscouk thank you James ⛴️👍👍
My wife and I are as poor as church mice. But we love watching your videos here in Helsinki.
Ah thanks Dean. Boats can take to you another world - I am glad the videos give you some idea of the fun. I thought Helsinki was a wealthy place ?
That looked like a nice holiday
Yes thanks Andrew - if you are lucky enough to be able to go boating with your family - I strongly recommend it 😎
Lovely boat... shame I don't have the money 😅😅
Usual great quirky style, am I wrong or did you say the grey tank (poop)flushes out to sea
Yes to sea or tank - you choose 😊
Quite agree, there's no need for all of those TVs shown on boat videos,
apart from when the Costa Concordia went down. Ahem ...
Nice Batman!
My favourite watch ever - thank you 😊
I wear a SeaDweller but would like a Batman / Batgirl
Absolutely love the assumption that they will understand English. No Habla Español? The 1 and only time I’ve been to Majorca it snowed for 3 days. Is Buenos yours or one we can charter?
Yes I know - wrong I know. I should learn some Spanish 😊 this v58 is sold but we have some bigger boats that we charter on boats.co.uk 🤩
James: As I no longer work with Princess, now I have no qualms showing the human-traffic crew cabin at the beginning of walktrough...
😂😂
hahahaha I promise, I look at the wake rofl
Please tell me you've done a VHF course and got the certificate James? If you have, you need to brush up. Could you have found CH16 if you needed it?
Yes but I need a refresher course 😊
Cool 😎
👌👍🏻
I think the red and green hands on the temp and fuel level dials is for port and starboard engines 😂 ....
👍🏻
Does the crew cabin have another exit point?
Nope 👎
When you're turning using port and starboard engines, does it matter where the rudder is?
Yes
It just look so small compared to the Fairline Phantom
Well this boat give our 2002 Nimbus 320 a bit of competition ;) I wish..... BTW bedrooms are for for sleeping and making love, the sockets are for vacuum cleaners - as with the TV put the F* phones away, I promise you'll love it, LOL
BTW2 Thanks for bringing us aboard!
Yes you are probably right Henrik 😊
Now I know the first thing that iam going to buy, when I will the Euro lottery, its beautiful 😍
You don’t need to win the lottery to go boating. We sell boats from £5k upwards on boats.co.uk
Ehi! Something is missing here. We did not see you out from the shout window to properly shout "Oi! Bring the fenders in...". How comes?
@@federicogaraventa2004 I am stupid 😂
@@Boatscouk lol, no way but I'd loved see you shouting to wife about fenders and check reactions =D
Surprised the boat dimensions are not on the helm?
I should have known them - I need to do more prep before jumping on these boats 😂
How much would that tour of Mallorcan coast cost in fuel? As a rough guide ?
About £3k I think 💭
Cannot believe the waste tank hasn't got an automated shut off when full and maybe a sound alarm would be advised.
Yes both would be good 😊
nice boats at 9:37. :-)
Why not listening on Channel 16, emergency on dual watch. Somebody did not get a radio certificate
@@geirleirvik1478 👍🏻
Great
Yep,that's some backshot!!!🤣👍
The depth finder showed 14’ of water……It’s amazing how shallow the water is that far out from the beach!
Wow what it that shallow 🥺
Was it in feet ? Not metres ?
14 metres.
