This the first video I've watched from James Knight. This had to be thee most informative yacht tour I have seen. Not only does he praise the manufacturer but also points out shortcomings he feels could be better or done differently. Not afraid to speak his mind. That's an honest man. While I may never be able to own such a boat I do like trawler yachts. Was never a fan of fiberglass hulls for open ocean travels, prefer steel for things that may go bump in the night. But after watching this I may give them a second look. Keep up the good work James!!!
While I like the Nordhavns a lot, I'm increasingly attracted to the Fleming yachts. James' knowledge of boating-what's important, how gear and engines should be built, etc., is second to none, so I'd love to see a video where he goes through a Fleming and then compares the merits of the two brands. It would be entertaining and really informative!
I dont sail. I dont live by water. I dont have any money. Why am I here. I dont know. I think I just enjoy listening to someone talk about a subject matter where they've seen it and done it for so long there isnt a question you can't ask they dont know the answer to. This guy knows Nordhavns. I even recognized the Mermaid Monster reference.
A retired lifelong merchant mariner here, after watching this video, _my_ verdict is: *The Nordhavn 62 Technical Boat Tour - **_Expert_** Level!* . . . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks for sharing James & *Yacht Tech Inc.*
When I buy a yacht motor or sail would not procede with the sale until I had engaged this guy to check to check out every detail stem to stern. I have watched thousands of videos on yachts for sale yet I have learnt more in this one video than all the rest. Criticaly important information to. The kind of stuff you only learn with a keen eye and experience. I guess it helps that he obviously loves and lives his work. Thanks this video was awesome.
I know you did the first video for just a few people to see. 5 Video's later you now have 175,000 views. There is a big difference between what a salesman will tell you & what a service tech will say. Even though most of your viewers will never be able to afford one of these wonderful Nordhavns I seriously think some landlubbing lottery winner is going to call you and say come help me because you are the "dude" when it comes to knowing these boats. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time not just to sell the aesthetics but to explain the actual operation and maintenance of the individual systems. Your knowledge and experience are beyond price. It’s very obvious to me that you would be the folks an owner can truly trust. You taught me more in the past hour than if I had taken a course. Again, thank you so much. Bruce
Love your video! I don’t own a boat. Only in my dreams will I own a Nordhavn 63. But know this if I win the lotto my first and only call for a 63 is you. Thank you for keeping my dreams alive. Hope and praying to call you soon.
James, your talent for showing boats is EPIC!! You go over the good, and the bad. While most "brokers" are telling me how their boat is perfect, none better. You are telling me the truth. There is no one perfect boat made by anyone. They all have areas that could be improved. James it would be an honor to buy a boat from you. Be happy, be safe.
You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Axel Amir thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Thanks for the gift James! Your walkthroughs are never a let down. It’s great that you made this one longer. Proper length that lets your knowledge shine.
Now this is what I call a thorough review.....a real deep-dive if you will. Those other 5-10 minute boat videos....replete with drone footage and snazzy music clips.....are nice, however, they gloss over (or entirely miss) many important details of the thinking that goes into boat systems and construction. This video is packed with a ton of valuable information for both the serious buyer and armchair sailor alike. A huge thank you to James & Matt with their ongoing efforts. Topic idea: Doing a boat review while onboard during a sea trial.....providing your experience and analysis while leaving out the music so we can take in the sights & sounds of the experience.
So James -- it is fair to say that I have learnt more about boats, their maintenance and "issues" by watching your videos than I did attending a number of courses. The voice of experience from guys who make a living looking after and fixing boats is far better, to my mind, than some random instructor who just trots out the same material many times a year ....
Christmas Day morning and what a great present to sit down with a brew and watch this video. I do hope that one day you will do a 68, it seems as if many of the issues you highlighted have been addressed in that boat. Merry Christmas to you and all of your viewers from the UK.
Your videos are brilliant. Your a huge assett to Nordhavn. I own a Dutch built MY, a Mulder 76 that’s just completing a refit. After watching only two of your videos I have added dozens of “must do” projects to my task list, which is why I plan to own a Nordhavn next time around.
Boy; this guy knows his stuff! Knowledgeable about electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics, with a good nose for hounding out corrosion where others would probably not even look from month to month.
Thanks James. As a Dreamer (and perhaps others), I am fascinated by these 'little ships' and hang on every feature you discuss. As for video length, the longer the better IMHO. As for future reviews, my heart says the 46 but my head wants the 55/60. Thanks again.
Great video for somebody that doesn't now anything about boats, like me. Thanks for the professional tour. Nice to watch someone that nows his stuff. 👍
So many great tips in these videos! The hydraulic lines w grommets! Exactly. How was that not thought out!? As a retired airline pilot that uses hydraulics extensively for so many things, I can’t imagine NOT having the grommets and ways for the hydraulic lines to move freely. As he says, when 3000psi is added to the line it jolts! Well done! Must hire him when we buy our Nordhavn!
Good point on keeping the lazarette hatch closed while running, although most fire suppression systems in my experience usually hold more Halon than needed to cover the cubic feet it’s not always the case so leaving the hatch open may exceed the cubic feet for the system. I had many years in land and marine fire protection business and saw a few mishaps.
Its refreshing to see such a clean organized business. Beautiful mural and I enjoyed hearing the stories behind the different photographs on the walls. Great work and Merry Christmas 👍🏻
Can you please clarify for me, which boat is 62 and 63 in the two small video clips?? Cheers! I figured out at the end, thanks. 62 on the left and 63 on the right.
Just ran across your channel and I absolutely love it, just subscribed. You are awesome at this. Please keep it coming, I wish everyone was as open about everything as you are. Thank you for everything and I will be calling you for my next purchase for sure!
Thanks Mr. Night! I hope you had a great Christmas! I had never heard a 63 was slower than 62, but from your comparison videos, the 62 was obviously more stable than the 63. Remember to brush out the handprints off the suede headliner before you leave!
James, I find the level of detail in these tours to be just the correct amount for me and Matthew being nice and tall, really helps him get the the camera 🎥 into all of the most incredible places!
Thanks for the very nice Xmas gift! We were drooling over those automatic blinds, the insane closets & the crazy nice pilothouse head, among other things 😉
I’ve just found your videos. I’m very happy. My favorite yacht tour guide is Nick Burnham at Aquaholic, but you are my new “go to” for the nitty gritty. Amazingly detailed and user friendly video. Wow. Just wow. Great job.
can you do a by pass of the manual pump on the black water? like a split in the hose before the hand pump with a shut of valve that would route the black water around the man pump.. then if you needed the man pump you could just turn a valve to connect it to the system? Seems simple.. especially if it will cut down the smell. I am impressed.. I didn't think that a 1hour 40 min vid was worth it.. but this was an exhaustive video of the whole thing.. thank you..
You sure know your stuff! Really enjoy listening to your knowledge about these boats. I watched the CEO of Nordhavn trying to give an in depth about these boats. Very basic I wasn't impressed.
The files, the detail, the information....Thank you for the information. The wife and are planning to retire on a boat. Nice to here you will be covering a Slene as well. Thank you. Look forward to it.
Just a though on my part, but if iI was buying a new Nordhavn I think I would ask you to set down with me and spec the boat out before I ordered It. It would be VERY worth it.
its certainly very interesting to have an insight into practical actions & speaking out with experience over the vessels good or bad... all other boat reviewers/dealers should be more like you.
Excellent walkthrough video of the N63, informative, interesting, and entertaining. I am sure the folks at Nordhavn taken/will take a load of notes on improving the future N63s and the other models. I am sure your customers feel very secure with the knowledge that their life and joy was meticulously operated on. Your passion for what you do is a rare commodity. Merry Christmas James
What I fantastic video, love having the service guy perspective vs a salesman walking through talking about bells and whistles. You my friend obviously know your sh*t. Thank you for taking the time to share
Love the full feature reviews, as Siskel and Ebert used to say “👍👍two thumbs up” I truly never appreciated the aft PH Nordhavn until your videos, but when I decide to upgrade from my Krogen the aft PH set up has definitely moved to the top of my list of things to consider , it’s refreshing to hear your real world experience in how they handle ect. Much more informative than others general “reviews/walk abouts”
Your tour is priceless, a must see before buying any boat. The 63 is fantastic, although I did rather like turning passageway to the staterooms on the 63, gave more of the classic yacht feel.
James another excellent tour of the 63. The fire suppressant was very interesting thanks for the pointers here as prob many like me would have believed that it would have gone off before fire would get so hot. A valuable piece of info. Thanks greatly enjoy these videos. And Happy new year from Gibraltar
I’ve developed a rather unfortunate habit of zipping through videos. Not this one. Watched. Every. Single. Minute. Nordhavn yachts are pretty cool and this is the best video I’ve ever seen about them.
I had a thought as you went through the engine room door. I think boats should have the same monitors used for confined space entries mounted in the engine room with the read out just outside the door. That way you could verify adequate oxygen, no carbon monoxide, and no explosive atmosphere. But really it would be the first two to worry about. It is a confined space. I think it's obvious I worked in an industry where we had to do confined space entry permits, and I don't like to see people go into confined areas that could trap noxious gases without being able to verify first. And it would be really easy to set up.
Love these videos! Please, please do some of the smaller boats (40, 46, 43). Something a bit more attainable. The video details are so great. Anyone looking to buy one gets such an amazing walk through. Thank you for doing them and of course the longer the better.
I found this to be extremely informative...Wisdom based upon knowledge and experience. Nuts and Bolts and What They Do......10/10, subscribed because you are a marine engineer.
Just wonderful, as others have said not a salesman but a "technician" who knows his craft and passion well done. Last thought, your record-keeping is terrific, have you consider alternative or mitigation controls if you have a "fire" or another event that could impact the office? Small business owners should complete an exercise and look at the potential risks and outcomes, doing this will help you consider what controls are needed to mitigate or eliminate (costly??) the risk. Would love to be your Nordhavn client someday...
How do you do this!? I was planning to just see what this was about and if she would look similar to Ammonite or the 62. Did not plan to sit through all of it at once... 1hour and 40 minutes of infotainment later and I have zero regrets, enjoyed every bit of it. Thank you.
28:10 Interesting segment on bow thrusters, + rewind' a min for elec vs hydraulic. There isn't anyone that can touch James' knowledge and willingness to candidly share that knowledge of Nordhavns, Salenes, and yachts in general.
Second time throught the all of it. Looks interesting but needs a real navigation program to cruise knowingly. Thanks for it, will remember ! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 !
I trust you and i do not even know you.How you come across and your knowledge ,as well as personality are perfect for role we see here...Keep up the superb work...from a uk supporter.
Great, very thorough explanation on the workings of the 63. The 63 and 68 without flybridge are the best models in the line up. Your visual explanation of the differences in a seaway between the 62 and 63 explains the difference in a heavy sea. Actually surprised that Nordhavn did not shape the 63/68 like the 72.
Great job shooting this, Matthew. I would suggest getting a gimbal like a ronin if you can get one small enough. There’s just a limit to what a human can do, especially in small spaces. If you want, there are also pull-focus accessories that you can use for Iris instead if focus, which will make it easier to adjust, and if you have a lens where you can de-click the aperture ring nobody will know you are doing it,
Your walkthroughs are by far the most useful and informative videos for someone like me dreaming of one day finding myself inside the pilothouse of my own Nordhavn. Any chance of a walkthrough of the 43?
I would love to own her but, I would be single handing her most of the time and I am not sure it is doable even with the lates yacht controller. But she has the room I need when friends and family are onboard. Great vieo. Thank you and be safe.
It would be good to get a tour of the N41. As a sub-44 foot boat this puts it under Class XII regulations (for the UK at least) so makes it that bit easier to deal with certain safety requirements when going for an offshore jaunt.
First I want to say outstanding video you 2 make a good team. What I think really sets your videos a step above all the others is that all the others just come across as used boat ( car) salesman, where as you do a yacht review and you do it with a technicians eye not to mention your detailed knowledge of Nordhavns is very impressive. I do wonder if that knowledge extends to other brands.Plus your passion for your work shines out. Outstanding 👏. I could keep going on like you but this is not as interesting as you so I’ll leave it here. Thank you.
James, you've done it again!! Another fantastic walk through. I do think you should overrule your camera man and do the 3 hour video but that's just my opinion lol. I love how you spot every little problem. Many would not be as scrupulous as you are. Tons of points for the filing cabinets full of history of the boats that pass through your company. Really appreciate your time and effort, not forgetting your patient camera man. I would love to see you walk through the 120 but I can be patient. When I buy a Nordhavn you will be my go to guy. Stay safe and happy new year.
Thank you Sue ! I’ll have a word with Matthew. Was planning to shoot some video today but it’s rainy here in South Florida. I fear that 3hrs of me in one video would get me all kinds of thumbs down symbols :( I will be looking forward to your call. James
Merry Christmas All, BRAVO certainly looks as though she is as fine an example of a 63 as one could hope to find. That said, to my eye, the 62 is a much better looking boat and the ride quality combined with an extra knot of speed would overcome the tight engine room. I would also prefer 3 staterooms in the hull, or at the very least 2 bunks in the second stateroom. The pilothouse head is a great feature, and using the cabin space up there as an office is a very good idea. Thanks for the review. Best, Maldwin

I think the only detail James never covered was the rubber grade on the wipers. What a great detailed walk through. Cheers from the UK
Darren
I will check on the wipers for you :)
Happy New Year !
Delightful. Someday...thank you for sharing this stunning vessel.
I was hoping to know a little more about the propane, like tank location and size, lines and spare tank/swap underway.

It’s very obvious to me that you would be the folks an owner can truly trust. You taught me more in the past hour than if I had taken a course. Again, thank you so much. Bruce
This is clearly the most informative Nordhavn video I've seen. Eagerly awaiting more.

Thanks for the gift James! Your walkthroughs are never a let down. It’s great that you made this one longer. Proper length that lets your knowledge shine.
Appreciate the positive comments Stephen. Thank you !
This has to be the longest, most detailed, and honest walk thru I have ever seen. Great job.
Now this is what I call a thorough review.....a real deep-dive if you will. Those other 5-10 minute boat videos....replete with drone footage and snazzy music clips.....are nice, however, they gloss over (or entirely miss) many important details of the thinking that goes into boat systems and construction. This video is packed with a ton of valuable information for both the serious buyer and armchair sailor alike. A huge thank you to James & Matt with their ongoing efforts.

Merry Christmas to you and all of your viewers from the UK.
We just started our „let’s buy a Nordhavn 63 project“. Your video was absolutely fantastic! Thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany:-)
Brilliant tour of the boat, Thank you James and Mat.
A gold mine of practical knowledge. I could listen for hours... oh apparently I just did that
Your videos are brilliant. Your a huge assett to Nordhavn. I own a Dutch built MY, a Mulder 76 that’s just completing a refit. After watching only two of your videos I have added dozens of “must do” projects to my task list, which is why I plan to own a Nordhavn next time around.
Thanks Peter
Boy; this guy knows his stuff! Knowledgeable about electronics, hydraulics and pneumatics, with a good nose for hounding out corrosion where others would probably not even look from month to month.
Would really like to have your opinion on Bering yachts.
Really like the in depth coverage and hearing your perspective on everything. Can’t wait to see more
Thanks James. As a Dreamer (and perhaps others), I am fascinated by these 'little ships' and hang on every feature you discuss. As for video length, the longer the better IMHO. As for future reviews, my heart says the 46 but my head wants the 55/60. Thanks again.
Great video for somebody that doesn't now anything about boats, like me. Thanks for the professional tour. Nice to watch someone that nows his stuff. 👍
I think it's good for those that 'think' they are
experts as well.
😄
Excellent video James, you went through that boat like a house mouse, no space too small for you to enter, thanks for sharing.
So many great tips in these videos!
The hydraulic lines w grommets! Exactly. How was that not thought out!? As a retired airline pilot that uses hydraulics extensively for so many things, I can’t imagine NOT having the grommets and ways for the hydraulic lines to move freely. As he says, when 3000psi is added to the line it jolts!
Well done! Must hire him when we buy our Nordhavn!
Seriously, Nordhavn should be sending you money for all this advertising. I think you do the owners, prospective buyers and Nordhavn a great service.
at least someone is honest about the boat they are talking about. well done.
Good point on keeping the lazarette hatch closed while running, although most fire suppression systems in my experience usually hold more Halon than needed to cover the cubic feet it’s not always the case so leaving the hatch open may exceed the cubic feet for the system.

Can you please clarify for me, which boat is 62 and 63 in the two small video clips?? Cheers!
I figured out at the end, thanks. 62 on the left and 63 on the right.
I love the half model you carved for your father in your office .
Outstanding video of a beautiful ship.
(A little fresh water sprayed on teak decks before fueling is a good diesel stain preventative...).

Wow! I worked with Brian Finn for many years in Cairns!
Thanks for the very nice Xmas gift! We were drooling over those automatic blinds, the insane closets & the crazy nice pilothouse head, among other things 😉
Would a boat of this size allow you to access all of your favorite cruising areas in the PNW?
Thanks guys, and a Happy New Year to you both ! Heading to WA next week for some liquid sunshine :-/
Well done James!! Very easy to watch and listen to. You didn't miss a thing!
Thank you Jeff. Can you tell, I love your boats ;) !

You're about the most knowledgeable NH guy out there who isn't a direct NH employee. Really great in depth know how.
The files, the detail, the information....Thank you for the information. The wife and are planning to retire on a boat. Nice to here you will be covering a Slene as well. Thank you. Look forward to it.

I love your honesty and and great advice on upgrading to better quality replacement parts. I hope in the not too far future to buy one.
Best video ever! Thank you so much!
Your tour is priceless, a must see before buying any boat. The 63 is fantastic, although I did rather like turning passageway to the staterooms on the 63, gave more of the classic yacht feel.
I meant the passage on the 62 that turns
Thank you for the detailed tour. Great presentation and camera work (thanks Matthew).
James another excellent tour of the 63.
The fire suppressant was very interesting thanks for the pointers here as prob many like me would have believed that it would have gone off before fire would get so hot.
A valuable piece of info.
Thanks greatly enjoy these videos.
And Happy new year from Gibraltar
I don’t own a boat nor am I buying one…and I really enjoyed your video.
The best description of Nordhavn on YT !!! thanks for the video and sharing!
I really enjoy it!!
greetings from Nz

Love these videos! Please, please do some of the smaller boats (40, 46, 43). Something a bit more attainable. The video details are so great. Anyone looking to buy one gets such an amazing walk through. Thank you for doing them and of course the longer the better.

There isn't anyone that can touch James'
knowledge and willingness to candidly
share that knowledge of Nordhavns,
Salenes, and yachts in general.
Very thorough review of a great boat. Very curious: why the two owner turnover in such a short time. Is there an unspoken problem?
Folks may purchase some boats for specific tours; trans ocean, the big loop in USA, etc.
Magnificent boat! In fantastic condition. Keep up the great work, looking forward to more content.
Second time throught the all of it. Looks interesting but needs a real navigation program to cruise knowingly. Thanks for it, will remember ! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021 !
This guy is best and most honest reviewer in YT. So much detailed information. He really knows what he is talking about. Can't wait his next review.
I trust you and i do not even know you.How you come across and your knowledge ,as well as personality are perfect for role we see here...Keep up the superb work...from a uk supporter.
Another wonderfully honest and detailed tour 👍
Great job James and Matthew!! Your indepth technical knowledge continues to amaze me. I need a case of it for Coastal Raven ;)
Thank you DB
Hope my knowledge will be helpful to you one day ;)
Happy New Year !!
Please give us another walkthrough! We’re dying for one Sensai!!!
Great, very thorough explanation on the workings of the 63. The 63 and 68 without flybridge are the best models in the line up.
Your visual explanation of the differences in a seaway between the 62 and 63 explains the difference in a heavy sea. Actually surprised that Nordhavn did not shape the 63/68 like the 72.
James I love your videos & all the knowledge you have for this well made brand of boats ..
I don’t own a boat .. But I’m hoping one day I will 🙌❤️
Casual and thorough . I learnt a lot James .
James and Mathew thank you for the video very informative hope you both have a Merry Christmas. cheers
Wonderful videos, longer than a Hollywood movie yet you don't want it to end. I bet if you did a 3 hour video people would watch to the end.
Very nice , it reminds me of the tour of ISS , thousands of details
Great job shooting this, Matthew.
I would suggest getting a gimbal like a ronin if you can get one small enough. There’s just a limit to what a human can do, especially in small spaces. If you want, there are also pull-focus accessories that you can use for Iris instead if focus, which will make it easier to adjust, and if you have a lens where you can de-click the aperture ring nobody will know you are doing it,
What a cool guy, I like this format 👍
Your walkthroughs are by far the most useful and informative videos for someone like me dreaming of one day finding myself inside the pilothouse of my own Nordhavn. Any chance of a walkthrough of the 43?
Eventually we’ll get to the 43 !
I would love to own her but, I would be single handing her most of the time and I am not sure it is doable even with the lates yacht controller. But she has the room I need when friends and family are onboard. Great vieo. Thank you and be safe.
I could watch a 4 hour episode of this no doubt! Extremely interesting, and well made. Almost makes me want to own a boat :p
Great job James! Love the head room comments...

It would be good to get a tour of the N41. As a sub-44 foot boat this puts it under Class XII regulations (for the UK at least) so makes it that bit easier to deal with certain safety requirements when going for an offshore jaunt.
First I want to say outstanding video you 2 make a good team. What I think really sets your videos a step above all the others is that all the others just come across as used boat ( car) salesman, where as you do a yacht review and you do it with a technicians eye not to mention your detailed knowledge of Nordhavns is very impressive. I do wonder if that knowledge extends to other brands.Plus your passion for your work shines out. Outstanding 👏. I could keep going on like you but this is not as interesting as you so I’ll leave it here. Thank you.
James, you've done it again!! Another fantastic walk through. I do think you should overrule your camera man and do the 3 hour video but that's just my opinion lol. I love how you spot every little problem. Many would not be as scrupulous as you are. Tons of points for the filing cabinets full of history of the boats that pass through your company. Really appreciate your time and effort, not forgetting your patient camera man. I would love to see you walk through the 120 but I can be patient. When I buy a Nordhavn you will be my go to guy. Stay safe and happy new year.
Thank you Sue !
I’ll have a word with Matthew. Was planning to shoot some video today but it’s rainy here in South Florida.
I fear that 3hrs of me in one video would get me all kinds of thumbs down symbols :(
I will be looking forward to your call.
James
Pretty comprehensive. Well done.
Between you and James Hamilton, I'll be able to build my own Nordhavn with the knowledge dropped by you both.
Merry Christmas All, BRAVO certainly looks as though she is as fine an example of a 63 as one could hope to find. That said, to my eye, the 62 is a much better looking boat and the ride quality combined with an extra knot of speed would overcome the tight engine room. I would also prefer 3 staterooms in the hull, or at the very least 2 bunks in the second stateroom. The pilothouse head is a great feature, and using the cabin space up there as an office is a very good idea. Thanks for the review.
Best,
Maldwin
Thanks Maldwin! Hope to see you soon!
Thank you for the feedback Maldwin. Happy New Year to you !
We appreciate your support.
Great 63 Nordhavn, I am just too. Old 70yrs and all I can do,is watch the videos👍🍀🍀🍀👍✔🌿☺
James, you are very conscientious technician!
I love your videos they are so informative. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Superb video, excellent interesting description of the boat, you have a new sub!
