I love how many options are available to change around based on owner specifications. I also love the amount of cozy little areas around the boat, like that sunken in area just outside and forward of the main living area. It seems very welcoming for private reading, a couple spending time quality together, friends or buissness people meeting for a chat, or kids play areas where the adults can keep an eye on them from the forward lounge area above it. As a former child myself, decades ago, I tell tell you that it could really help a young boys imagination, like he's on a spacecraft, or an aircraft carrier, or other impressive machine, as he stares over the sunken in area, as the boat moves along at speed...now this is reminding me of boating on the south coast of Ireland on my summer holidays, when I was a little boy. Great times, thank God.
9:30 I love that magnetic hatch opening device idea. I can just guess at the amount of bear footed toes that could be protected by removing anything to sub your toe on. Great design idea.
Did I miss an inside/enclosed helm? It’s a nice boat, but there’s no chance I’d have a boat like that with only an open fly bridge helm. Squalls, unexpected weather, cold climates, etc would render it not really useful?
The boat as a whole looks great and the tour as usual was fantastic. I'd just like to see Seadec down on all the plastic flooring to really lift the feel of the boat.
Captain Steve, I have a question. We're looking at 4 builds: Aquila 44 LongReach 40 (Outboards) LongReach 44 Two Oceans 555... What's your comparison of these for a family of 5 who wants Bimini trips etc.. 🤔
Granocean made in China and they have only built a couple. Aquila made in China but they have built quite a few boats, and less expensive. Longreach hasnt been built yet. Also look at Iliad from Australia, Leopard 53 which has been around a few years and they have built the most production boats.
@@rod272727 Thanks Rod, I for the mention on the Iliad 👍🏾 niiiiiiiiiice 🤣 And I checked LongReach, they've been around awhile now, even bringing a local distributor in Florida this yr 🤔
@@keithmcgee7679 who is the distributor in FL. Im looking for a big cat sometime in future. Im not keen on Aquila, and Leopard is mid tier. Horizon is upper tier but pricey and deeper draft.
Given that this was a customised craft I'm surprised the there was not at least a minimal inside helm, I would not like to be on that fly bridge in foul weather.
I hate the idea of magnetic handle to open the hatches. You can flush mount a normal latch into the floors and not have a handle that you can't find when you go looking for it.
If this is the idea of stripping these amazing machines bare and offering up outfitting to owners tastes great path forward as with an imminent manned rocket launch to the ISS so to is *"less is more"* upon the Ocean Waves too and the Brave New World of the Caribbean.
@@moejaime2654 If by most you mean 95% then yea - just most. There is a running issue that it's very hard to tell one white GRP yacht from another. Telling a Sunseeker from a Princess is a trial. They are called floating wedding cakes. There are complaints you can't tell one car from another. We have to remember there are real material and physics issues here. Curves are expensive and it has to sail well.

This is by far one of my favorite channels on RUclips. I love watching these.
Thank you for watching!! 😀
Beautiful! I love the simplicity, space, and storage.

What a beautiful interior.

Great work as usual Boat Test in making this video. Well done.
You guys are fantastic
Thank you! Much appreciate it!

They will add that upon customer request. This owner didn’t want it.
It could be a nice skylounge with insulated glass, heating and cooling...

Main deck mast would be amazing
Me ha gustado mucho el diseño interior y externo de ese modelo de catamarán. En que correo electrónico puedo ampliar información? Gracias

Can you test the Sunreef 80 power eco?
Great suggestion, we will share with the team!
Interested
Beautyfull PowerCat 😍 if u want a triangle shape, buy a house... 😅😄

Two Oceans 555 all the way!

Thanks Vinny 👍🏾
But I gotta say, saw the Two Oceans 675 😱 and fell in love💞

Feels like an expensive boat in bottom of the range poverty spec. Bit weird.

Bland…. Needs more teak.
The lack of teak was the customers choice. You can not fault the boat or the manufacturer for that.
I’m not faulting- its just bland.
I Dont think thats a good choice to chancel the pilothouse on maindeck, that's not smart
I think they made this boat for people with, the agility of cats and, the stamina of a race horse to, climb up and down that helm station.
Not really my cup of tea but she looks like a solid boat. Good to see that level of customisation
Co to za frajda z żeglowania skoro płyniesz ogromnym mieszkaniem, które nawet nie przechyla się na falach?! I nawet nie ma żagla...
Dude. You are are nice guy...sit ups please...
Very average finish
.and that shade of blue does not go with that khaki...trust me....
Navy blue...or a cream or grey...
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Looks like someone with no design skills drew up the plans for this boat ! Looks like a floating box !!
All power cats look like floating boxes.
@@rtbinc2273 Not all but most !
@@rtbinc2273 I like the way the Sunreefs look.
@@flacjacket So do I. I think they now have one covered with solar panels.

That's one butt ugly boat.
