I grew up with Sir Roger as 007 and he's probably my favourite. I've read his autobiography and he comes across as having a great sense of humour. He was a keen practical joker and my favourite story was during the filming of The Spy Who Loved Me. There's a scene where he's driving the Lotus car that turned into a submarine out of the water and up the beach. He hid a fake fish in the car and as the cameras rolled and it drove up the beach he lowered the window and dropped it out. Apparently the director went mad, but people loved it so much that it made the movie! RIP Sir Roger, a legend.
I've just found the fish drop scene! Bear in mind he did this for a joke to wind up the director and look at the expression on his face - what a legend! :D ruclips.net/video/xYdDXJRmORo/видео.html
I also grew up with Roger Moore as 007. Some people say Sean Connery was the best bond ever but Sir Roger is my favorite. Thank you for the tour, lovely classic Sunseeker.
What a cool boat and a cool former owner. Regarding the boat - you can see that it was a quality boat when built in the 90s by the way the interior has held up. Regarding the former owner - Always a smile and a witty line in the face of danger.
"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end..." I copied that paraphrase from something I might have remembered - but it seams to fit. Roger Moore represented the "tech agent" of super spies. His talents were always enhanced by his "goodies" - they never replaced his abilities. This boat is soooo that ethos (Word Of The Day calendar). A fun ride down memory lane (waterway) - thank you so much, Nick, for sharing...
There's "particularly interested in showing" and then there's "particularly interested in buying"! As much as you love Smugglers Blues II, I think you would be a FANTASTIC owner if there was a Smugglers Blues III !! Considering its age, I'm VERY impressed with the condition of that boat! The leather, the helm station, the WHOLE BOAT look as close to new as possible! The only place that I could see needing some attention would be the teak flooring. It says a lot about the current owner and also the amount of quality Sunseeker put in their vessels! She's a very lovely and interesting vessel, for sure! Thanks for this Nick!! Cheers!!
@@AQUAHOLIC Nick, are you noticing that your subscribers are increasing faster ? Your at 121k. You were just at 100k a number of weeks ago. Thoughts ? Z
Wow, incredible..made my day watching this. Huge Roge fan, right through from The Saint, Bond, and of course The Persuaders. I worked for Eon for six years and everyone there loved him, he was a true gentleman, generous and charitable. He really did live the Bond lifestyle too, frequenting all the usual Riviera haunts, and London too of course. Thanks again Aquaholic!
I grew up on the Norfolk Broads. Sir Roger had a farmhouse and boat moored in a small village. My cousins and I had drinks on one of his boats, in the 1970's. We used to bump into him around the village in his white Lotus. We met many of the cabaret acts starring in Great Yarmouth nearby and never thought much of it. Coming across this vlog brings back memories of my childhood, thank you.
No matter what size boat, you make the tour very interesting. Great video as always and as for the boat, I'd love to own it. Compared to some places I lived in back in the day, this would be a palace. Thank you for sharing this boat and the wonderful story to go with it.
The audience said they wanted more! Lots Moore, so,...... I gave it to them! Lovely boat and the Bond of my childhood! What a legend! Love the Spy Who Loved Me story and I’m sure it’s absolutely true!
Lovely piece of kit with a great history to with it. Funny enough we have a boat on our club pontoon that was supposedly originally owned by Eric Morecombe, not sure if it's true or not but that's the story that goes with it. Thanks for the tour great as always.
Ha. what a great back story. I remember watching that Scene as a kid and thinking 'how did a fish get in there if it was water tight' all makes sense now. Not over keen on sir Roger's booat but love the history of it.
@@verona8144 How can I be wrong about something completely subjective? to me Connery captures the essence of Bond best, how can a subjective interpretation of a fictional character be factually incorrect? Also, this doesn't take away from Moore's portrayal of Bond, he was great! I just thought Connery was a better fit for the character.
The Legend that was Sir Roge. Greatly missed. I was also sadend to hear of the passing of Sir Stirling Moss the other day icons in their own lifetime just like the Tomahawk
Yes, sure in this storage were toys like rafts and scooters.... You can not trick us. The toys were guns, missile launchers and some unthinkable Q gadgets! Additional it has a great styled interior and the perfect name.
Sir Roger was the Bond of my youth as well.... also, my family had a friendship with Bell Boats in Brundel... Vic Bell being behind the Moonraker 30 then 36 (softrider).... One of the early buyers was Roger Moore... the boat was called Lady Dorothy (if my hazy memory is right) after his second wife, Dorothy Squires.... When I was looking for a Moonraker a few years back, it was for sale, cheap and looking a little jaded... wish I had bought it 🙁 It was an early non flybridge sedan, twin 6354 Perkins ...... lovely boats, in my opinion.
Regrettably I don't think I will ever be in a position to buy any of the boats you review. However, I love your reviews and the fact that it is not rushed, the camera picture is never blurred and I'm not going dizzy, because some people turn to quickly with the camera. Being an old geezer Sean Connery has always been my Bond and I have always loved the scene 'From Russia With Love' where he is in, I think a Fairey Huntress. That boat always sounded just right and in its day seemed fast. I have a couple of classic cars and so tend to love the older things when they were simple to understand and feel the same about boats, it would be smashing to see you do a review on a Fairey Huntress if there are any still about. I have only recently subscribed but, I am back tracking and loving all the reviews keep up the good work and stay safe.
Filming a Fairey is a great idea! They have quite a following and some have been restored, so if I can find a good one with a willing owner then I'll do it. Glad you're enjoying the channel :)
Loved all the James Bond actors, but Roger Moore was always my favorite with his quirkynes. lol Just glanced at your comment below about how funny he was, and this is what I like about his performance, that comedic ability shown through.
"What a handsome craft......such lovely lines." This is what we're talking about Nick. Taste and Style....... Love Roger, love the boat (although she could do with some new covers.... and a clean.... ) That helm seat is a work of genius. Can't believe nobody's copied that...... Love your channel. Keep up the good work! Kind regards, S
Sir Roger seemed like a fantastic bloke but being of a certain age and also a Highlander then I've got to say Sean Connery, a truly tough guy in real life too. Great video with a real piece of history. 👍🏴
Don‘t know if it was intentional or not but the Omega Seamaster on your wrist was a really nice touch - I guess it was intentional because you don‘t wear that watch a lot in your videos? For those who don‘t know, James Bond has worn an Omega Seamaster in every Bond movie since 1995
Roger Moore had the best sense of humor or all the Bonds, thus far. Sean Connery is the best of all the Bonds in my humble opinion. It's a nice boat. Thanks
Well Nick,it’s so nice that you don’t have to stay in some kind of indoor quarantine,because otherwise we could not enjoy all your nice videos,and the boat was really nice but I expected that Sir Roger More being such a movie star would have a bigger boat ? but what do I know,and by the way he was also married to a Swedish woman (Kristina) and driving the Volvo P1800 as Simon Templar in the tv show The Saint,and by the way Nick,the Volvo P1800 was design by a Swedish guy by the name Pelle Petterson and he was also a very renowned boat designer here in Sweden :) :) :)
Fittingly you wore an Omega Seamaster as a watch, the Bond-watch (model from the nineties-00's), great stuff!! I see in your videos that you are quitte the watch enthousiast, very nice!
It's my namesake too - I just let myself get called the short version of Douglas :) If ever I stood right on the front a boat as you many a time do, my legs would probably be jelly and just give out! hahahaha
Bicky's Restorations: I can hear him now as he’s proclaiming it with such passion. That’s a proper all action film and every part of it screams pure Americana to me.

Great find Nick, found that very interesting, i don’t know how you done it but I’m not complaining,,I agree I always thought he was the best 007 of all time too, I think it was his regal demeanour , very English swarve and loved how old jaws got electric ⚡️ zapped with the lamp, ha ha 👍🏻😎😂😂🍺⚓️
Thank you so much for that bit of memorabilia, I never liked any other 007 actor and yes I am 67 years young. You never mentioned a price point for this historic beauty but I bet it is not for sale. I can imagine myself chasing around octopussy and all sorts of semi naked women whilst serving Queen and country. Ah, fantasy and phantasmagorical mind wanderings with such a wonderful little ship! I love this meander down memory lane, one of your best Vlogs in my humble opinion!
Fantastic boat , it's just enough without being ostentatious, I went to see sir roger at an " evening with " at the grand theatre leeds in 2014 for 2 whole hours his P.A Gareth, could not get him off the stage , self depracating and wickedly funny anecdotes of all the tv shows and films he made , he also made no secret that he was quite a frugal man from a humble background , "although not as frugal as sean connery " he joked !!!. Nick did you find out what happened to the Glastron boat used in moonraker ?? . I would love to see a review of that if you ever track it down . 👍👍
Interesting piece of history Nick. I have a question you maybe able to answer. Pros & cons of pod vs shaft drive on any size boat. Also what do these super yachts do with their grey & black water environmentally? Thanks Nick & keep up the great work.
Shaft: Super-simple proven mechanics that can be fixed anywhere, minimal maintenance costs Pod: More efficient, vector independently for easy joystick manoeuvring, better engine/drive packaging usually creates more space for cabins Black water disposal - check Super Yacht Captain's RUclips channel, he has a video on exactly this
Nice Boat Nick unlike many others I don't think he was the best bond ever, I am pretty sure that Sean Connery has won that accolade. However he was a very gifted actor and a very good James Bond. At 89000 this has got to be a great purchase for someone.

@@tonyknox6739 I could imagine a couple of bond girls on that enormous wraparound sofa 😎😆
What an incredible boat history! I'd never sell that if I owned it, Sir Roger Moore was the most suave James Bond of all
Absolutely!!

Nice one Nick. Roger was my Bond too. Great that you put some effort in and researched the boat.
"You can imagine Sir Roger Moore taking a dump there"
Hopefully it has the original toilet seat
@The Snowman oh my god that's priceless. What an underrated comment. ...Z
I am now content with my similar boat Barvaria 32DC. Bigger boat syndrome gone. Thank you Sir Roger Moore.
That head’s door is a work of art.
Nick, you need that boat. 150k subscribers and you have to buy it. A man of your standing and all that.....

Interesting piece of history Nick. I have a question you maybe able to answer. Pros & cons of pod vs shaft drive on any size boat. Also what do these super yachts do with their grey & black water environmentally? Thanks Nick & keep up the great work.
Shaft: Super-simple proven mechanics that can be fixed anywhere, minimal maintenance costs
Pod: More efficient, vector independently for easy joystick manoeuvring, better engine/drive packaging usually creates more space for cabins
Black water disposal - check Super Yacht Captain's RUclips channel, he has a video on exactly this
And here is the original heads where Sir Roger would’ve proudly sat
Sir Roger needed some money & his assistant Gareth helped to sell it on eBay for £60k
Always think older boats are let down by the fabric cover, they almost always look a little shabby and tired.
Sir Roger Moore took a dump in that toilet! :-0 lol
The leather looks brand new
Question.. Have you aven done a Van Der Valk Yacht, like a Van Der Valk Beachclub series yacht..? Would love to see one.. Thanks
Sure have, it's on the channel

wearing an omega seamaster diver 300? nice touch considering it's a bond watch!

If I sell my car...
Nice Boat Nick unlike many others I don't think he was the best bond ever, I am pretty sure that Sean Connery has won that accolade. However he was a very gifted actor and a very good James Bond. At 89000 this has got to be a great purchase for someone.
Objectively you're probably right, but it's hard not to love Sir Roger in the role.
