Pro tip: every time a hurricane hit fla or anywhere in the gulf, there are $100 boats for sale after that.....not destroyed ones, just an inevitable number of people tired of dealing with them, tired of living too close to the ocean, etc, etc.....a friend bought a 35ft sailboat with cabin quarters, in near-perfect shape, after a hurrican hit near Mobile, AL a number of years back....she paid less than $300 for it, and still lives on it to this day!......sweet!....
@@hhazelhoff1363 that fool is the guy who buys storage bins that have been abandoned because he thinks they contain treasure....people better know what they are doing if they think buying this boat to live on is a good idea
You know what I love about this channel and you two in particular? You're camera man is 100% in love with you and it shows with the shots he takes. Its actually amazing.
A huge part of the affordability of a live aboard is the slip fee. Here in Key West it is easy to spend $1800 plus a month depending on the size of the slip you need. That combined with boat maintenance and the depreciation of the boat each year quickly sobers you up to the "total cost" of living aboard. Then you have weather issues and hurricane season. There are lots of things to think about before making the leap to living on a boat. Works for a lot of people just go in prepared. And let us not forget the weekly turd sucker. Always a high point.
Going with the 20% of the purchase price for annual maintenance costs and general monthly expenses-this boat should cost $4,483 per month plus the payment per month.
Love the walk-thru. We owned a catamaran for four years and find it amusing that, once again I catch myself looking at these beautiful boat with desire! Then…I remember the repairs bills (ie; engine repairs, sail blow out, electrical problems) and recall the relief when I sold it. I came to the conclusion that I did not love sailing as much as I thought before I bought ‘the dream’ but at least I tried it. The only regret was the amount of money lost for the adventure.
That layout is beautiful and yeah I could definitely see myself living on something like this. These boats that you show us never ceases to amaze in different ways.
Living aboard full time is not as romantic as one might dream: It’s an instant depreciating purchase w/difficult & expensive insurance; owner has to know how to diagnose & repair specialized electrical, plumbing, mechanical & structural issues where parts are often difficult to find. And then try sleeping well when anchored out of port even in calmer waters. Forget about dodging storms. But it’s a way of life for many indeed.
Since my dad lived on his boat and sailed it around the world for decades, I can tell you there is a lot more expense living on a boat than in a condo. Not only are there livaboard dock fees, utilities, taxes and club memberships, boats require constant repairs and that is NEVER cheap.
@@pflaffik well, while that is sometimes true, anything that sits in water will have many more types of repairs than a vessel surrounded by air. An old saying is to own a boat is like buying a hole in the ocean and throwing money into it.
@@petersdotter1 If you buy a boat from new and simply leave it docked all the time, would there likely be much to pay for in maintenance? I am guessing it would be cheaper than condo bills, taxes and utilities. But then I have never looked into it, so maybe that's wrong.
I bought a new 38 foot Carver in Florida in the mid nineties. I spent some time living on this boat in the Miami Beach Marina, and enjoyed it so much more than my home in Boca. Carver was amazing, and addressed any and all of my service needs, making this particular boat ownership experience a total pleasure. Of course, I sold it to buy a larger boat made by a more prestigious manufacturer, and totally screwed up a good thing. I would buy another Carver today, just to re-capture some of the really good memories of my Santego 38.
I'm a marine painter at Huntington ingalls Industries in Newport News. I think a yacht is doable ONLY if you do your own maintenance. If not you're in a world of hurt, luckily compared to cars boats are easier to work on. But you could get yourself killed or ruin a system if you don't denergize it properly. The most expensive part would be coating it, people will spend money on painting the outside but they will neglect the bilge and engine room. Ships can and WILL rust from the inside out of the bilge is always wet from leaks.
THAT is the dream. My dad always said that he wanted to be like Quincy (a ‘70’s tv show character) and live on a boat in the marina. I’m beginning to think he was onto something.
Especially having the ability to “Bug Out” to sea if reasons to do so come up. With the price of real estate in some of our country’s beautiful coastal regions boat living could be more affordable or at least even. A beautiful way to live at least for a segment of one’s life.
My friend bought a donated 33' Chriscraft from the Boy Scouts in L.A., and lived in Marina Del Rey for a couple years or so. He paid $200/mo for the slip which included a hose with water and an electric outlet and a reserved parking spot (there was free parking in the lot, at least at that time). He had access to the shower/restroom as his boat only had an old toilet inside. A space heater kept him warm, and air-conditioning was not needed.
After 22 years living on and working on boats as captain, engineer or deck hand, I moved into a class A RV. Five years ago, at 71, I became an RV solar installer. Living 'off grid' has taught me a lot. But I'm ready to go back home - to the waters of the Gulf of Alaska. While it's taking longer to untie the myriad of connections I've made, I am resolved in my mission. NautiStyles and Aquaholic have kept my goal alive and my knowledge current. I find the two distinctly different styles of the two channels actually compliment each other through facts and practicality.
Excellent how you guys keep variation in the videos! This was a bit less glamorous, but very interesting and significantly more approachable! Thanks, and enjoy your weekend!
there are a lot of pluses and minuses to living on a boat: can't beat the views/ambience BUT bringing anything like groceries to the boat? how far do you have to park? then walk to the gate then down to your dock and slip. 100, 200, 300 yards? you need to be REAL organized as space is limited: rooms, showers, closets, etc. slip fees? yes wonderful at night with the lights, quiet (mostly), water slapping against the hull. very relaxing just keep in mind the other realities.
You 2 are the best yacht presenters and Captains that grace YT. Thanks for all you do.!! Love the outtakes and your professionalism. Also a great couple. Keep up the good work and I hope to see you guys hit 500K subs next...
A good friend of mine was going through a divorce and ended up living on his yacht for a few months. He admitted the toughest part for him was down-sizing all his stuff and being organized to handle what you bring-aboard. By the time he finally got used to it he had to sell it as part of the settlement. That's love and marriage.
He should’ve kept it. My neighbor in the slip across from me in MDR was going through a divorce in 2013 and was living aboard his Viking 70 when I purchased my Catalina 27. Three years later, when it was all over, he still lived there! In fact, I believe he lives there to this day. Really sweet guy. I sold my boat and upgraded so now we are no longer in the same marina but from what I could see, that guy had it made!!! I should end up so lucky...
Love your tours of the different boats. It's so hard to find tours of different boats that are like your tours. You open cabinets or compartments to show how big or beep the space is. You go through the boat like you're opening up a Christmas present. And when you find a "hidden" door and inside is the closest or waher/dryer combo...you truly act like, "yea, I found lost treasure," I love that. 💘
Hi from New Zealand. We love your channel. We have a Carver 450 and have just bought a Carver 530, which we stay on for extended periods and we absolutely love the space and layout of this bigger boat.
Some day, when I get done with it, I want y’all to tour my barge. Will blow people’s minds when they learn how much living space you can enjoy, and how little it costs to buy and build.
Thanks guys for showing the more affordable boats, doesn't seem like such a farfetched dream! And love the bloopers at the end...get it together Victoria! ;D
Love the size, love the stairs, love the tender, like the look. I have a few gripes but nothing major. It's under 50 feet. For that price, it's hard to beat.
I love the Home Officer idea! I thought the same thing right before you said that. So practical. and thanks for the comment on the depreciation. I didn't know that. If you have more comments on a Info Worker actually using a boat like this please let us know.
Who was appreciate everything you upload and even the bit of footage at the end which shows that you are normal couple I would hope and pray that the both of you are very well balanced obviously you're with each other 24/7 but you bring a lot of enjoyment to those of us that land bound once again thank you
Great video - your 'this is not a puppet show' comment cracked me up :-) Would be great to include a summary of typical monthly marina live aboard costs in a future video.
I really enjoyed this. You did a great tour of the boat. It was so good, I actually watched the whole video; and I am looking for a sailing yacht live aboard. Thank you.
One of the things that I consider is the range. It would be helpful if you could include that. I know you do sometimes, but there have been a few of the more affordable liveaboard options that you haven't and it just would be nice to have it included in the specs. Thanks, enjoy your videos.
Very well done tour, I’m actually a retro type guy that loves the older style boats that need owners and loving too but there is the fear of the mechanics all needing updating and the cliche of a hole in the water in which one continues to throw their money could apply.
I really enjoy watching your videos and that you are looking at more affordable boats. I was in a SAR unit with the Coast Guard and ran the 44’ motor lifeboat. Always dreamed about finding one, refurbishing it and living aboard it but alas, it did not happen. Enjoy your outtakes and your thoroughness. Keep it up.
I'm new to this whole yachting community, but would definitely like to explore more the opportunities/adventures that comes from it. I'm curious how do people who live on these boats all year long "navigate" or cope with the seasonal hurricanes or storms, especially when you're anchored in one place? Thanks for your videos!
Back in the 70’s my Father bought a little motorcycle and kept it on the stern when we traveled. Long story short gas spilled down into the engine and we had a little fire. Budweiser might have misguided my Dads thinking 🤔 That was the last time that motorcycle went with us on the boat. It was a lovely Carver. My favorite boats are Chris-craft. Cheers to boats being expensive!
They do not build a great quality yacht but a fair priced one. The one big problem I have is the boat will never shine as the gelcoat is very different than most. Every thing they do on it is for show and not longevity. Thank You for a great video though as I always like what you guys do.
With this video, I've caught up and seen all of them. Thank you Victoria & Rico for giving me a wonderful distraction from quarantine! You two are so much fun to watch, especially how you cut up together on the out takes! I am looking forward to seeing more of your crewing and charter experiences. Of course, the yacht tours supply ideas for lottery dreams..
We 1st lived on a rough water trawler yrs ago. Dock fees in mission bay back then were high. We knew to get a diesel not gas due to safety. Enjoyed it.
Wow, I am impressed with this yacht. It's super practical, I love it. Definitely will be adding this one to my list of candidates. I had a dig through the listings on the Australian East coast. Seems like good condition Carver yachts are a bit scarce here.
Yes, amazing tender and system for it, for at boat that size. Impressive features for a boat this size at this price. Nice little bar. The bridge/helm is really nice and comfortable,. You two are a great complementary team and fun to watch.
at the 16min mark of the video the time on the clock reads 3:13 and this video was posted on 3/13. cool! i think it's a sign you two should buy the boat HA!
Good video as always. As it appeared in the video, forward visibility from the lower helm looked like it was quite reduced, maybe obstructed by the dash. Looks like operating there would be a chore.
I still cant get over how much remind me of my niece ... saw her a few days ago but forgot to tell her to check out your channel ... next time ... I really like this boat btw
That's one fine boat..! My all-time favourite boat is the Baglietti, powered by Man diesel's.. also talking of Catalonia.. back in the 80s I spent nearly 2 and a half years in LA and travelled to the Casino marina..! Brilliant..!
I like the Carver yachts. Well made and stylish. Easy living for a couple. When you talk about “live aboard” yachts, you need to address moorage fees. This is a major factor in living on your boat.
Interesting that you would do this video. I've been looking at various Chris Craft about the same size as the one you are going to be showcasing. And a few somewhat larger. Coincidence, but fun,
Nauti, I had a 03' 50' Carver for a few yrs on a lake in the MidWest, life changes and sold it several yrs ago (sometimes I miss it...sometimes not). Just watched a little bit of this video and I see this was in Long Beach (The old Spruce Goose Howard Hughes dome in the background) what would a slip in this harbor run? Can you purchase the slip or is it a rental/lease only?? Nice videos
Very nice review. Someone has done a great job in the upgrades. Love our '07 46 Voyager. We went with the 3 cabin layout and hard top. (Honestly, wouldn't buy one without the hard top)
Hello Victoria and Rico! Renato here from BRAZIL! Always good videos! Congratulations again! I admire the American boats and the way you present them. Now I get the translation online on You Tube. Sensational. Hugs.
Out of literally thousands of boat review videos you good people are the only ones that have ever shown the shower curtain track. Thank you. Did you ever get your refrigerator problem resolved?
thank you for your feedback, we try to do the Tours that anyone can watch and find it interesting or even learn something... tough balance to maintain because “know it all” viewers get annoyed sometimes 🙈😝 so appreciate your comment and yes my fridge is doing so much better, I do make a point of unfreezing it every couple of months
Thank you for sharing this video. I loved the outtakes. I liked the boat very much. I've seen several of your videos, may I ask that in the future, you mention the costs associated with liveaboard. Dockage, insurances, etc. Also, I've seen you mention the range and fuel capacities, but, more details on that would be great. Thanks again for sharing!
Careful with the water system that cools the drives on that boat. my dads had a catastrophic failure and sank. also it rolls badly port to starboard in nex to flat seas.
Hi guys, This has always been one of my favorite basic designs in an affordable boat. I'm still considering it in a longer version...maybe. I love the lower helm as I was always a overcast cold scream at the waves kind of guy and when I'd had enough I would go to my lower helm fix some tea and cruise. This lower helm is great really great with the sofa for company. The longer versions have that table you want there :) but why? with your new boat. You guys are going to have so much fun! I was right there in shoreline. Everyone would say oop the sea is rough that's why Tom's boat is gone :) :) Be well..
Often around $2.00 a foot but less if you are leasing somewhere longer term. Depends on what kind of marina you choose and where it is located. NYC will be higher than a podunk town in SC. It's all about location and amenities!
Victoria, You are really rocking those sunnies!!! Nice yacht. I love the raised helm and that you can still see/talk to everyone inboard! Shame there is not more space. Perhaps sthenxt size up should be mine. Can't wait to see your vids on those... Well Done guys!
This is amazing...for $269,000 and a Carver yet! My beautiful wife would leave me to walk the outside railing. But, that Starboard sun deck is really something! How much updating on the electronics? I cannot imagine the insurance cost. The Volvo engines! Rico....I wish you had that configuration and to the Stern, also. Our home is worth $10,000 more than this...
Also have a hurricane plan. Motor up a river or if in the Bahamas run it into a non protected mangrove. Props and shafts can be straightened but the boat won’t sink!
It can vary quite a bit depending on where you live or want to leave your boat. Most marinas have their slip rates on their websites. You can get a feel of it that way.
Hope to see you all in the LIVE CHAT during our Commercial FREE Premiere 😉 If you can’t make it, I will “see you” the the comment section 💙⚓️
I have my reminder set and awaiting 😃🙂
Lovely aft cabin, nice boat too😇
See if the fans want to see some houseboats
Yes.

Or the insurance.
"weekly turd sucker" 😂😂😂😂😂😎
Going with the 20% of the purchase price for annual maintenance costs and general monthly expenses-this boat should cost $4,483 per month plus the payment per month.
Love the walk-thru. We owned a catamaran for four years and find it amusing that, once again I catch myself looking at these beautiful boat with desire!

Made this move back in 2017. Never regretted it. Living on the ocean is the ultimate!
Agreed! 💯
What’s the monthly cost to live on a yacht? We are thinking of selling our house and retire on a yacht.
serious question: what happens to your waste (particularly your excrement and urine)? Is there some sort of septic tank? how does that work exactly?
How is it in a big storm? I be afraid that boat would get wreaked and then there goes all your money? Does insurance cover that for sure?

More to come!

Yes! East Coast 🌴
Always a good video. This is well kept motor yacht. Carver is a quality craft. America loves you guys !

They do not build a great quality yacht but a fair priced one. The one big problem I have is the boat will never shine as the gelcoat is very different than most. Every thing they do on it is for show and not longevity. Thank You for a great video though as I always like what you guys do.
Thank you... first time I take a look to the inside of a boat like this. It is amazing. Blessings guys....
Thanks for watching
pretty cool unit to live in .. totally agree on the Catalina trip project 😎
Right on!
Amazing as ALWAYS. It’s your best hair style I’ve ever seen. You two are awesome. Thank you 😊
Wow, thank you!
With this video, I've caught up and seen all of them. Thank you Victoria & Rico for giving me a wonderful distraction from quarantine! You two are so much fun to watch, especially how you cut up together on the out takes! I am looking forward to seeing more of your crewing and charter experiences. Of course, the yacht tours supply ideas for lottery dreams..
Wonderful! thank you so much for taking the time to comment
We 1st lived on a rough water trawler yrs ago. Dock fees in mission bay back then were high. We knew to get a diesel not gas due to safety. Enjoyed it.
Wow, I am impressed with this yacht. It's super practical, I love it. Definitely will be adding this one to my list of candidates.
I had a dig through the listings on the Australian East coast. Seems like good condition Carver yachts are a bit scarce here.
Glad you like it!
I really enjoy your videos and learning about life on the water, I had Motor Coaches for several years
Yes, amazing tender and system for it, for at boat that size. Impressive features for a boat this size at this price. Nice little bar. The bridge/helm is really nice and comfortable,. You two are a great complementary team and fun to watch.
Thanks for watching!
at the 16min mark of the video the time on the clock reads 3:13 and this video was posted on 3/13. cool! i think it's a sign you two should buy the boat HA!
Good video as always. As it appeared in the video, forward visibility from the lower helm looked like it was quite reduced, maybe obstructed by the dash. Looks like operating there would be a chore.
Been playing catch up on your vids, wife watched this one first,,, what a find, now she is interested!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
I still cant get over how much remind me of my niece ... saw her a few days ago but forgot to tell her to check out your channel ... next time ... I really like this boat btw
lol DM is a photo on IG , would love to see it
That's one fine boat..! My all-time favourite boat is the Baglietti, powered by Man diesel's.. also talking of Catalonia.. back in the 80s I spent nearly 2 and a half years in LA and travelled to the Casino marina..! Brilliant..!
Great tour. I could live on that boat! Also, like the hairdo!
Thanks so much!
I like the Carver yachts. Well made and stylish. Easy living for a couple. When you talk about “live aboard” yachts, you need to address moorage fees. This is a major factor in living on your boat.
still a lot cheaper then an apartment🤷🏼♀️
Love your presentation style love to see even more historic yachts from 1970s back to 1920's. Seen all the ones you presented so far 😊👍👍
I enjoy how smart and informative she is.. nice !!
Interesting that you would do this video. I've been looking at various Chris Craft about the same size as the one you are going to be showcasing. And a few somewhat larger. Coincidence, but fun,
🙌🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Very nice. All it needs is a good water maker.
yep, easily done
Great tour guys! Victoria, your hair is on point today! Are you going supermodel on us?
🙈😝😂 thanks
Nauti, I had a 03' 50' Carver for a few yrs on a lake in the MidWest, life changes and sold it several yrs ago (sometimes I miss it...sometimes not). Just watched a little bit of this video and I see this was in Long Beach (The old Spruce Goose Howard Hughes dome in the background) what would a slip in this harbor run? Can you purchase the slip or is it a rental/lease only?? Nice videos
Very nice review. Someone has done a great job in the upgrades. Love our '07 46 Voyager. We went with the 3 cabin layout and hard top. (Honestly, wouldn't buy one without the hard top)
Hello Victoria and Rico! Renato here from BRAZIL! Always good videos! Congratulations again! I admire the American boats and the way you present them. Now I get the translation online on You Tube. Sensational. Hugs.
thank you so much for watching! yes we added Brazilian Portuguese to all of the videos on our channel 😁 glad you are enjoying it
Out of literally thousands of boat review videos you good people are the only ones that have ever shown the shower curtain track. Thank you.
Did you ever get your refrigerator problem resolved?
thank you for your feedback, we try to do the Tours that anyone can watch and find it interesting or even learn something... tough balance to maintain because “know it all” viewers get annoyed sometimes 🙈😝 so appreciate your comment
and yes my fridge is doing so much better, I do make a point of unfreezing it every couple of months
I love the way you guys present upper products!
I really liked this video, the boat appears to be affordable to us mere mortals. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing this video. I loved the outtakes. I liked the boat very much. I've seen several of your videos, may I ask that in the future, you mention the costs associated with liveaboard.
Dockage, insurances, etc. Also, I've seen you mention the range and fuel capacities, but, more details on that would be great. Thanks again for sharing!
Careful with the water system that cools the drives on that boat. my dads had a catastrophic failure and sank. also it rolls badly port to starboard in nex to flat seas.
Ours doesn't whether in the Atlantic or in the Gulf of Mexico.
You guys have the best walk through videos! That boat would be perfect for me!!!! Too bad it was not in Japan!
🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Excellent. Outside the Box thinking, Baby!!!
But I moved to Texas, instead.
Great yacht and as always a great video!
Many thanks!
Hi guys, This has always been one of my favorite basic designs in an affordable boat. I'm still considering it in a longer version...maybe. I love the lower helm as I was always a overcast cold scream at the waves kind of guy and when I'd had enough I would go to my lower helm fix some tea and cruise. This lower helm is great really great with the sofa for company. The longer versions have that table you want there :) but why? with your new boat. You guys are going to have so much fun! I was right there in shoreline. Everyone would say oop the sea is rough that's why Tom's boat is gone :) :) Be well..
I'm curious as to what the rent is for a slip on average per month, along with electric and fresh water hookups.
I'm interested as well
Often around $2.00 a foot but less if you are leasing somewhere longer term. Depends on what kind of marina you choose and where it is located. NYC will be higher than a podunk town in SC. It's all about location and amenities!
Amazing. I think if you show your viewers and fans more boats like this one you guys are going to do very well. Thank you for the tour!!
Our pleasure! will do
I would love to see you feature a quick workup of realistic monthly cost of ownership with each yacht.
Noted
please include marina costs avg for a boat that size. (example, where it currently resides)
Victoria, You are really rocking those sunnies!!! Nice yacht. I love the raised helm and that you can still see/talk to everyone inboard! Shame there is not more space. Perhaps sthenxt size up should be mine. Can't wait to see your vids on those... Well Done guys!
Yes! Thank you!
One of my all time favorite boats.
This is amazing...for $269,000 and a Carver yet! My beautiful wife would leave me to walk the outside railing. But, that Starboard sun deck is really something! How much updating on the electronics? I cannot imagine the insurance cost. The Volvo engines! Rico....I wish you had that configuration and to the Stern, also. Our home is worth $10,000 more than this...
Can you imagine the cost of fuel to run this down the Intercoastal Waterway and over to Cape Coral....down to Key West, and back to Ft. Lauderdale?
@@Keiths_Trains_N_Stuff Yeah, we go from Boca Grande to Key West on charters with twin 450 Cummins. Cost is now going up though once again.
Great presentation, thanks for sharing 😀
Thanks for watching!
Also have a hurricane plan. Motor up a river or if in the Bahamas run it into a non protected mangrove. Props and shafts can be straightened but the boat won’t sink!
What does the dockage fees run for something like this I don’t see it mentioned anywhere?
It can vary quite a bit depending on where you live or want to leave your boat. Most marinas have their slip rates on their websites. You can get a feel of it that way.
Often around $2.00 a foot but less if you are leasing somewhere longer term. Depends on what kind of marina you choose.
@@CaptStu-go1zy Thanks for the info appreciate it
You are perfect doing these videos you are very believable and they are very entertaining , keep up the great job. Thanks Russ
Thanks, will do!
one thing I would like to see in all reviews, not just yours (which I enjoy) is the boat's range. How far can I go at cruising speed with full tanks?
this one wasn't made to go very far. It only holds 280 gallons.
I just love the interior design of this boat!
👏🏼 another great video coming up!
💙💙💙🙏🏻
beautiful videos! what are you shooting on? in the shadow it looked like a go pro, thank you
Good Job, I'm this much closer to purchasing a boat!!
Me Too, all i need is a Good Job.
Discovering yall. Fantastic 😊😊 been watching re runs all day😊
Are y’all going to tour “my seanna” when it gets done?
that’s the plan!
I look forward to seeing it
Is that the same one that captain Lee run for awhile
Lenae Mckelvy yes it has been used in three seasons of below deck. Season 6,8, and the upcoming season 9
Can I do this on SS > yeah I know , only if it's 14 foot jon boat .
That blouse is Chic...poppin collars..
well, thank you so much
For me that would be a pretty great live aboard. Victoria & Rico the both of you you. great video. Outtakes very good
