Great looking boat Nick… please keep more of the smaller, affordable boats coming. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn’t agree more. It’s nice to dream, but seeing something you can actually afford is even better.
Plain and simple with everything you need for a day / weekend on the water. Nice design, layout and fittings. Lovely tour as always. Thank you Nick.
Except a shower. Even a pull out wet room would be better than nothing but the tap is definitely not pull out
@@timepstein274 Always the deck shower! Most marinas have showers also, so even if u had one u wouldn’t use all that much!
@@fastoez
Agreed 👍
As spectacular as the big boats are, I much more enjoy the videos of these 'smaller' boats with their inventive and clever use of space...
Love it! When talking about "getting on the water" this is a great, really great, start.
I love the superyachts, but I have missed the little affordable weekenders. A very pretty one, this, thanks Nick!
That was absolutely wonderful Nick.
One of the Many things I Love about Aquaholic... You take us through small to extremely massive boats.
Your channel is, and always will be, the best of the best.
I believe that's the shortest tour that you have ever given. And yet, you bring it to us in such a professional and detailed manner.
Thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@AQUAHOLIC It is rare, but there are some boots that I don't much care for because of the style or layout... But I do thoroughly enjoy every tour that you give.
I really like these boats, great usable space and performance for day trips and the odd night on board. Am I getting old though, because I'm sure that's an £80k boat not a £150k one! Scary to think that's considered affordable. I remember "back in the day" when £140k bought you a very nice twin KAD43-equipped Targa 34 with some of the extra wood trim. Doesn't feel that long ago!
What a refreshing change in format - touring the "engine room" first! 😆
Thanks Nick 👍 Was asking for a few of these more affordable boats maybe 2 weeks ago in a comment
Wow. So much space packed inside such a small boat. Very impressive. Thank you Nick~! :)
Quite love that interior! The windows and light colors lend a great sense of airiness to what can sometimes be a dark corner of these little boats. Love it!
Parker Boats are built tough with thick fiberglass compared to others. Their reputation in the industry and among owners is solid.
they are not cheap, they are generally considered one of the industry's best values for a straightforward, no-frills offshore boat.
@@ortega.g. No yacht is cheap!?
We looked at lots of 8-10m boats before choosing the 850 Voyager. Nothing else came close in our opinion.
@@garryrobson Classifying a £148k yacht cheap is crazy
@@breckenjace exactly it's expensive
What a treat, great little boat. More of these please 😁
I’ve never seen a boat this size with such a light and bright cabin. Going on my list of favorites for sure!
This is a great weekender
Nice small cruiser. I tried to convince Sea Ray back in 2010 to build this boat. They somewhat listened and built the Venture. They were so hung up on covering the outboard to disguise it as a conventional looking inboard boat with full transom. If only they would have listened to me back then! lol Thanks for the walk through Nick.
😂😂😂hahaha,I was really worried there Nick! I thought it was a GALEON incident again but with the hob 😂😂😂😂
Definitely would’ve had to EDIT That out later😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the video, Superyachts are very nice and a great escape from reality but these type of small family boats are great. Whenever i'm in Torquay looking over the harbour these smaller family boats are all i look at. One day.
As much as I love seeing the larger vessels, seeing the smaller ones are great to see.
I’ve got a Parker 800 Weekend. Very similar hull but with a fully enclosed wheel house. Cracking boat for a small family. Very well built and nicely equipped. We call it the floating caravan! Although, it does go nice and quick if you want to with the 350 Verado on the back!😂
You should do a tour of the Parker 760 Quest that was next door. Looks really interesting and probably even more budget friendly.
Beautifully designed boat. Actually a lot of boat for the money especially considering the build quality.
Nice day boat, plain and simple , it does the job.
Very nice day boat / weekender. SB2 would feel very comfortable alongside that one. Cheers Nick. 👍👍
A proper "Runabout" class boat. Loads of fun in the Summer sun. With even more joy as a dockside hang out when foul weather dictates. A solid, basic boat - designed to be enjoyed. Thanks for the tour, Nick.
Love the extra berth that is possible because it has an outboard motor! A very well thought-out weekender.
Not necessarily, I doubt the extra bed is all the way back. My boat is a similar size, got an inboard and the rear bed is for sure just as large, if not larger.
A boat with great bang for the buck and a super tour. Great way to end the week.
I really like that. A great boat. Thanks Nick.
I love seeing reviews for these types of boats! I hope you do some more on a regular basis.
Hey Nick, i really like your chanel from the moment you began and I really hope, that there is more of the affordable stuff comin' up. :-)
Love seeing the affordable options, and really appreciate the mix of styles and price-points you show us.
I like these videos as well as the big stuff, this size boat would be perfect for a weekend break setup
Your gas nick tries to open ladder hatch on swim platform....while standing on it !! Love these reviews, brings your fun aspect out !
Glad you like them!
Love this and (ahem) affordable. This is the kind of boat I’m in the market for. Thank you for showing it 👍🏼
Our pleasure!
We love ours 👍
I like watching these smaller boat reviews to get ideas for updates on my 20 year old bow rider.
Great performance with all the essential amenities makes for a nice run about.
Thank you Nick
That a nice boat Nick
Thanks Nick a great video of a nice affordable boat
Glad you enjoyed it
That is probably the best small boat I’ve seen in terms of outside seating space, light in the cabin and separate toilet!
Thanks for this review Nick. A great reminder as to why we ordered the 850. Looking forward to delivery in a few weeks and will likely see you out on the River Dart very soon.
Awesome, hope you enjoy it!
Our 850 was delivered last March after ordering it at the 2021 Southampton Boat Show and we absolutely love it.
You’ll have fantastic days out on yours.
Any questions, feel free to contact us.
Thank you Garry. Much appreciated. We placed our order in September 2021 too, after the boat show, so it has been a long wait. Mainly engine delays. We were offered alternatives but patiently waited for the one we selected.
@@davidbeavan5502 same here… ordered Sept 21 and arrived March 22. We waited for the Mercury 300 V8 Verado and SO glad we did. As I’m writing this, I’m hoping you thought the same 😂 but there are no bad ones 👍 Any questions at all, feel free to ask.
@@garryrobson Mercury 300 v8 was my choice too Garry.
Nice boat, it looks versatile but with comfortable seating. The accommodations are two bedrooms and a bathroom plain simple as Nick says. But it does what it says. Great.
I would love to see more affordable/small boats on the channel! Also more information on buying and ownership of boats...
Here you go! th-cam.com/video/YQ8kxp_I7o0/w-d-xo.html
likewise, but apparently, its the big boats that gets the views... :-(
Great video as ever Nick, Smugglers is looking great enjoy the super upgrades ! Looking forward to seeing the dinghy in action for a run ashore on the next smugglers outing 😎
I've just watched a vid of one of these being vinyl wrapped, amazing result. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Looks like a lot of fun and very nicely laid out. Just had to google the company as unfamiliar, they have a nice little range
Love the smaller boats. So much more relevant for the majority of us.
Nick,
Just want to thank you for your passion it bleeds through the videos. I am a big believer in affirmations, visualization and manifestation. Your videos allow me to visualize and affirm having my own family yacht one day. Maybe one day I will have you do a tour of mine. Please keep these simple affordable yachts coming. Blessings to you
I appreciate that!
Thank you Nick. Will look for Parker at the upcoming West Palm Beach Boat Show in March. Yep not in the super yacht snack bracket. Love the “Full Tour” of an affordable day boat.
I do appreciate you showing these particular boats, so excellent they are! Also, I do wish you'd do a tour of an MJM 53z/zi live-aboard, 43z, or even a 35z day boat... each are such an excellent MY as well... know this: I would have never come to the conclusion that an MJM was an excellent boat w/o watching all your videos over the years... you've fine-tuned the check-list of what is necessary imho for an owner operated boat! thank you for that!! This channel content is SO exceptional in every way for learning... thank you!! for all your efforts!! 👍💯
I like your manner and style of walk through's no matter the size of boat but much prefer this realistic end of the market more. Please please please do a bunch of the midrange sunray series as iv watched other channels do them with very little success. Great work Nick
That's like ⅓ the price of a lesser equipped Boston Whaler with 2 berthing spots as well. Pretty nice boat and you could probably fit it on a trailer too. Well at least here in the US
Very good looking little but luxurious day/weekend boat.
Fantastic for small groups, like a couple or a small family.
Great work as usual Nick. You're fantastic at this sir. Well done you legend man.
You're very kind 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC Thank you.
Nice little boat nick and another good video ⛵️🚤🛥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
So funny that when something goes wrong you always say that you will edit it out later but never do so ! ;-)
Awesome! The super yachts are totally amazing...but seeing these more attainable boats as well is so cool. I might actually be able to get one of these one day haha
I really like the main table and the seating area around it.
Nice boat Nick nearly in my Budget !
A excellent boat for the money.
Thanks for your usual excellent video Nick
My pleasure!
Lovely boat for people on a budget would do me just to chill and relax nick
Great little boat for having fun on the water. Brilliant work as normal Mr Burnham 👍
I do like the Parker boat range. Plenty to like and not too much money (comparatively!).
Nick have you thought of doing more river boats and or maybe some narrow boats ?? Maybe some affordable live aboards too mate ??
I think this is a really interesting design. The flip over stove caught me by surprise.
A great first boat!
Ha ha, the old 'Lift the hatch whilst I'm standing on it' trick! 😁🙈
This is a great boat. I really really like both it and its price.
You can sleep 4 passengers on that boat? “Data, his eyes open…..!!!” Astounding! Thanks, Nick 😊👍🏾
That is a really neat boat. I also liked your short video with the Burnham 26.
This would probably be the only boat I could own. And I'm happy with that. Thank you Nick.
... entry level weekender for aspiring admirals - lovely! TY 4 the tour, Nick ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are right, lovely affordable boating. Thanks.
Loved the smaller boat tour ❤ thanks Nick 😊
I quite like the front cabin, usually ships like this don't have much light there, but it's really light in this one.
10 seconds in £148k affordable 🤯 How times have changed over the last 20 years
If ya floating ya boating, it’s all you need to have some fun afloat. Nice little craft for the price
Absolutely
I like these type of boats. You keep your bed made up under the deck and the V berth is an indoor seating area (uk weather).
Wow this is a really cool little boat,I’m impressed by what you can get in for the size and the price is great too. Love it 👍
Sweet boat.
Yup, that'd be ideal for getting out on the water and exploring. 👍❤️🇬🇧
DJ Nick. Hilarious. These are a great little boat and if I was 20 years younger... I'd like one. It really has nice lines this boat and there's a lot to like and I really think you didn't quite do it justice. It could, however, do with a decent bbq and some big cool boxes that drain overboard.... Parker should also consider a T top option.... very pretty boat though.
Perfect example of "the joy of life afloat!"
Especially for playing chicken with cruise ships
entering and departing NYC harbor.
Lovely basic boat, with 'everything you need, and nothing you don't' as a certain motoring presenter says. I love this end of the market, much more relatable than the multimillion £ superyachts.
thats a nice little boat
nice little boat
Very nice - looks very comfortable.
It’s a nice enough boat for sure, but imo Smugglers beats it into a cocked hat!
Loved it please can we tour more smaller boats they are just as interesting. Thanks.
Love the seating arrangement up top. Really social. The only thing that puts me off of boats like these is the canopies! I'd have a hard top cruiser, and hopefully more people follow Marex in their solution...
Lovely boat. Great presentation as ever, Nick.
All boats matter!
Nice job I like small boats thank you
Hmm… I love boats but I’m scared of the sea and I hate camper vans so il just keep watching u do it thanks.
Nice boat there! Love the functional design! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍
Now take her out for a spin, Nick!:)
Very appealing runabout in a manageable size for most weekend Admirals! Interesting how it's 100k less than the Finnmaster T9 you toured recently. Granted the T9 has two engines, but considering they for all intents and purposes do the same thing in the same way, I wonder why there's such a disparity in price. Is it down to build quality perhaps?
Nick, such a short tour, I have gotten used to the “slightly” larger craft which last 12-18 minutes 😊😂
Nick,
As you would say, "Brilliant!"
An all around good weekender. Like it
Nice boat👍, the versatile layout is superior from some recent I've seen in this size range... nice work Nick👍 I appreciate every water vessel. If you show me a canoe, I'll subscribe👍
Great little boat. And something I could actually afford one day!
beautifull funmachine.
