There are a total of three. The forward master, guest w/two singles (that can be together or apart), and the midship VIP.

My best guess (I've never ran a boat this large myself) is that it is probably possible, but not ideal, to try to run a boat of this size by yourself.

💯

Thank you!

No worries, this is just a hobby of mine

It's fantastic!

You're welcome! I appreciate the kind words.

I do love that feature on the 82! They did such a good job with the layout on the 82. I can't guarantee we'll see it on the a future updated 95 (92?), but they did tell me there are plans to incorporate some features that are new to the 82 onto other models - such as the fold down sides on the aft of the 82 that will be added to the 62 in the future.

I'm not sure why they held off on releasing them here so late compared to Europe. And I do show the galley/wet bar space right at the end of the video.

@@TheBoatDude Ah, I switched off after you walked past the wet bar for the first time without mentioning/showing the hinging mechanism. Anyway, do try and find a Yamarin DC 88 at an upcoming boat show, great little Scandinvian boat, sporty, but spacious cockpit with usable wet bar, sleeps 3-4, single outboard up to 425hp.

@@TheUrbanEpicure I will try to stop by the Yamarin booth at the Miami boat show in a few months!

@@TheBoatDude Sweet 👍 I hope they bring the 88, recently they've focused their marketing on the 80. Have a good Sunday.

I presume, you're comparing the N52 to the N51. The N51 has the master stateroom in the bow, compared to the N52 with it mid-ship. The N51 has bench seat on the deck on the bow, the N52 does not. Beyond the layout, there are some big functional differences such as the N51 being able to have a bridge clearance under 19'6" from the factory and thus able to do the Great Loop as it comes. The N52 would take rather extensive modification to be able to do it. The N51 has subtle, but rather user friendly and modern improvements to both the electronic and physical systems. Also, the speed and range performance figures are notably different on each boat.

​​@@TheBoatDudelol i thought its the new N60, wrong video, the new N60 just launch last week

When you see the fuel filters it looks like standard road diesel and not off-road red dyed diesel, but when you see the fuel level sight gauge it's bright red. So I'm guessing that's what your question is, and while I could be wrong some visual fluid level gauges use a magnetic system to allow you to see the level of the fluid in a tank but what you're seeing on the actual gauge is not the actual fluid within the tank. And so they use a contrasting color fluid like red to give you a quick indication of what the level of the tank is. And I could be wrong but I also believe that in the event that the glass tube were to get broken that you're not actually losing the fluid within the tank, because they are completely separated unlike some sight level gauges.

Adam was pretty close with his description. The red you were seeing was the side of the indicators marked to show where the fuel level is at. The red and white pieces are cylinders that turn magnetically. Here's a link to a similar, possibly even the same, system that explains it more in depth than I can in a single TH-cam comment: www.gteek.com/Magnetic-Level-Gauge

@@TheBoatDude thanks for clarifying. I've seen those types of sight glasses in other industrial applications but I've never been able to get up close to see exactly how the red shows up, even though I know inside the tank it's a different colored fluid. So thanks for explaining and showing the link.

The beneteau is a beautiful boat but they're really not in the same category. The beneteau is more of a coastal swift trawler and the nordhavn is a transoceanic boat, so because of the size of the fuel tanks and other requirements to go across oceans the nordhavn doesn't have the internal space for more cabins.

I actually filmed the Swift 48 when it debuted in Miami and the video is on the channel! Adam summed it up almost exactly as I would have. The Swift 48 blurs the lines between a pleasure vessel and a true trawler type boat, where as the N51 is all business.

Excuse me, what?!?! Where?!

@@TheBoatDude 7:58 - sorry - see the white bowl with plants on the inside lower right ..

@@danwhite6726 boat owner, boat lover, boat nerd, are all ways I'd describe myself. Sorry to disappoint. I had been on probably nearly 100 boats before this one. None of them had grab handles on the ceiling in the salon prior to me seeing this one. The purely pleasure vessels just don't have features like that, they are focused much more on the aesthetics.

Unfortunately, the prices on many things doubled over the past 3-4 years - even yachts. I recently saw a listing for a 2007 Fleming 65 that was $2.7M... a 2007!

Don't shoot the messenger!

I have never seen so many of those signs on a boat... Not even the most expensive ones I've been on have ever had more than 2 or 3.

Thats what happens when you have large stashes of porn onboard Lol

The Fleming 65 has been around since 2005 so I can definitely understand that sentiment.

I love its design. The only thing I may consider would be tilting the windshield windows forward. And I was unable to find out why the flybridge helm is located on the port side. Otherwise it's a beautiful ship and I love it.

I am just the messenger, the brokerage selling the boat sets the price. That said, Fleming has a rather niche market but they serve that clientele very well. They're well built boats that are meant to be operated continuously for extended periods and distances. Many other brands simply aren't built for the same use case as a Fleming.

This was provided to me by the Pearl Yachts marketing team. They did a wonderful job!

There was a broker showing the boat to some guests and they were near the entrance to the engine room while I was filming this video. I did not want to disturb them.

There were some other people on the boat while I was filming and I did not want to be too intrusive to their time on board since they appeared to be clients of the broker. And I plan to start incorporating specs of the boats in my videos going forward!

@@TheBoatDude That would be great. I like to see the engine rooms to see if it's easy to get around the engines and check filters and other things.

@@JerseyLou engine rooms are one of my favorite parts of a boat to look at it. It's always disappointing when I don't get an opportunity to go in them, but I always want to do my best to be mindful of the clients since they're the ones spending their hard earned money - not me.

Thanks for the information! Catamarans are something I'm still learning about.

Prices have certainly been dropping last year and this year. For example a boat I filmed in 2021 was around $1.1M new then, the same model can be now purchased for under $1M new.

At first glance, I can 100% understand that sentiment. However, the value in these boats lies in their quality and craftsmanship. They're designed to be used every single day for a year or two straight. Other brands of yachts that are aimed more at the typical "pleasure boater" may see a week or two of continuous use at a time and only a few times a year. This isn't a knock on other brands at all, just a statement that not all brands/kinds of boats have the same use case.

@@TheBoatDude I get the quality factor of the Fleming brand , but it just seems about twice as much as it should be , Good Luck to you 👍

I respectfully disagree that I don't know what I'm talking about. However, I will admit I questioned even posting this video as I didn't feel it was my best work. It was nearly the end of the day and I was plain worn out mentally and physically. It is surprisingly taxing on oneself to cram gathering more than a dozen videos into 2 days in a hot and humid place. Not an excuse, rather an explanation.

@@TheBoatDude You know what you are talking about but he said you don't now what you are talking about. Difficult to argue with that! I don't now what I'm talking about either! I maybe yesterday what I'm talking about. Or tomorrow. Intriguing.

Research does suggest that salon would be the correct term on a motor yacht. However, I just can't wrap my head around calling it a salon because nobody is getting their hair done there. Rather, they do socialize and drink - much like in a saloon.

It's hard to point things out without using my hand as a pointer!

You are too kind! Thank you!
