    Yacht companies need to start lending you boats for weekends so you can do proper long-form reviews! This sort of content (and the vacation videos you did last summer) is what really motivates me to want to get a boat! :) THANK YOU NICK!

    A fascinating video. As much as I love super yacht walkthroughs, I am finding your insights into operating a small boat even more interesting. Obviously, willingness, time and costs are a consideration but I’d really enjoy seeing you and your ‘officer on the bridge’ taking Smugglers blues 2 on longer trips. Maybe combine with your Walkaholic videos to do a sort of travelogue? You have a unique style of journalism that make these videos so watchable Nick. Many thanks

      Would be very interesting to see a break down of costs for a year for running a boat like his and maybe how it scales with size of boat. Trouble is talking money is very “not the done thing” for many British. Be up to Nick if he’s comfortable with revealing that kind of information.

    That cruise ship was in Southampton at the weekend. They come into Southampton to get fuel and supplies then moor off Weymouth I believe to discharge grey water and take on water for making into fresh. Never seen Southampton so full of cruise ships. P&O, Cunard, Carnival, Tui, Fred Olsen, Saga to name a few company’s

      I know this is a joke but there’s no correct spelling of ‘Valor’. The ship is at anchor due to it being creeper to be in the anchorage rather than use the pier, the pier also just may not be suitable for such a large ship.

      @@worldintime5021 I agree: there IS no correct spelling of 'Valor' - 'Valour' on the other hand is listed in the Oxford English Dictionary as being spelled with a 'u', so within British waters at least, the correct spelling is with a 'u'.

    My missus and I are fortunate enough to live in Hervey Bay Australia and we get dolphins , turtles and other marine life all year round plus humpback whale season which you have to see to believe.
    We go out on charter boats 2 or 3 times a month and while it's great we always think it would be better to have our own boat so we can spend as much time on the water as we can plus do the occasional overnighter.
    So we have decided to get a boat next year. Watching all your vids keeps us really motivated..
    Especially liked the one on costings as we will be mooring our boat. Only live 5 mins from our marina.
    Won't be the greatest or biggest boat but just being on the water is all we are after.
    We find it the most relaxing thing to do.
    Keep up the great work.
    Cheers from Australia.

      I think @JOR1S_V has a very good point, and don’t forget the 10% yearly maintenance. Which essentially means at 10 years you’ll have spent the purchase price all over again in repairs(or more). Research research research. If you’ve never owned a boat, just remember, as soon as you own a boat everyone is your friend and no one has fuel money. 🙄

    American spelling of Valour like harbour no ‘u’. Nick if you guys get that excited over dolphins then not sure if you ever encountered Humpbacks or Killer Whales while out on an afternoon tour. Might be an epic reaction lol. Maryann is like the Sterling Moss of water-crafts, hang on Nick for the ride. I love the fact on water the UK drives on the RH side (I guess international rules) but the LH side on land. You & the Mrs really show what boating is all about when you live near the sea. Well done 👍.

    What a great day out! I just wish my boat wasn’t 3hrs from the sea 🙁 Although I’ve used that as an excuse to buy a cheap RIB to take out for days just like this around the east coast 🚤😎

    Looked like quite a lot of rust long the water line on that cruise ship.

      Hard to say. Bit like asking what car to get - needs to have 4 doors and a boot.

    Thank you very much for a delightful day out. Much appreciated during the tedium of lockdown.
    Well done for passing the sailing boat down wind and far enough away.
    Your boat appears to be remarkably dry at speed.
    My East Coast (sailing) skipper is launching soon, but jaunts across to Holland are off the radar for a while.
    You can feel and smell the sea in your videos. Thanks.

    Have you been to Porto Montenegro, or do you plan to , they have some amazing boats, a prince from Saudi Arabia keeps his mega Yacht there ,beautiful scenery and amazing yacht club too, should go check it out ,pronto!

      It’s a very nice place that! We went out of season to Kotor and drove round to the port in Tivat. Spent some time in the yacht club ( we were the only people there and the pool was absolutely freezing!) and had extremely good eggs Benedict with smoked salmon for breakfast at the Regent hotel.

    Love your videos Nick. Only found you a few weeks ago & now enjoying going through your back catalogue during lockdown.
    Quick question...I’ve done a fair bit of yacht sailing in the past, but now looking to join the motor boating side. I really enjoyed you Video of the President 485. That would be perfect, but in your view can something like that be sailed safely single handed? I’d value your opinion. 👍

      It depends how competent/experienced you are and where you are doing it.

    Just found your channel. I am looking for my first boat. This is very helpful. Do you not use a kill cord?

    • @AQUAHOLIC
      @AQUAHOLIC  4 года назад +1

      There isn't one. It's a cruiser, not a speedboat, you'd have to try very hard indeed to get thrown from the helm into the water..! Glad the channel is proving useful.
