Although coastal and open sea is great, there's something very appealing about inland waterway cruising. This is a lovely little boat for that, just right for a couple to take off across northern Europe.
I love what Balt Yacht is doing, really grabbing that lower cost segment by the scruff of the neck and innovating to still offer excellent experiences. A boat like this will do well anywhere coastal/freshwater.
Within the video can now be found all of the out-takes. Brilliant. This is a wonderful vessel for just starting out or for a small family that wants to do some cruising. Many thanks!! 🍷
This is really nice boat. Great for couples or small families for a weekend getaway. I would like a small diesel generator for backup. Otherwise it would be absolutely perfect for the intercostal waterways here in North Carolina where I live. Great review Nick. Thanks.
Interesting idea, but I'd want solar panels in more areas, enough to charge the large bats to some degree. Second thing I noticed is no rubber seal on the mirrored access door to the electronics from the bathroom. I see that as a possible ingress of moisture. Great video as always, thanks.
Lovely boat..... however I've noticed something.... If there's a couple in the front cabin who like privacy at night and a couple in the aft cabin... how is the aft cabin couple suppose to use the head??? Also I'd have made the dining area into a U shape seating to make watching the TV easier for 4 people.... Still a lovely boat though and I'd definitely look at one of these for just me
I think that is a great little boat, looks nice from the outside and onboard is really nice with good finishes and I think the helm looks good too. Electric seems a good way to go for river / lake cruising especially as it can recharge from normal power supply. Great tour Nick thank you.
A super little craft for our waterways. It might be a little too big for some of our canals, though. Especially for some of the tunnels. If it isn’t, then she would be perfect. 👌 Yet again, another superb and comprehensive tour. Cheers, Nick. 👍
Nick its a fab little river/canal/lake boat for the price. Lightweight hull materials too, minimum maintenance and its not trying to be something its not. 👍
Hello from Canary Islands. I think that this boat is perfect for daily rent (about 8 hours), it have good battery duration, no gasoline or diesel extra cost, with a good habitablility on a litle boat (9,4 meters). I want one. 😁
Seems like a very nice boat perfect for the Norfolk Boards. I wonder what the approximate charging time is from shore power? I can see a lot more boats going electric although I think hybrid is the best solution at the moment for larger vessels.
Great Video! Wouldn't it be more practical if, the solar cells would also charge the motor batteries or would this type of charging degrade the batteries too much?
@@cheffscream Power. Watts. I work on solar powered systems. People seem to think solar power is some kind of magic solution. It is most definitely not. There is not enough energy converted from sunlight on the small area of solar panels on that boat to charge the main battery by any significant amount. You would probably need 10 to 20 times the number of panels. Nowhere to put them on the boatm
this boat world be perfect if they would offer a larger solar array and make it able to charge the main batteries. if their numbers are correct this boat will only use 2kWh to drive around for an hour, looking at the roof there should be space for at least 3kW worth of solar panel so on a sunny day you could keep going all day long without losing any charge.
The only boating knowledge I have is from watching Nick. My question is if you still need to have gas/diesel on board for heating/cooking/water heater why not just go with the gas engine? I feel unintelligent asking but is it something I’m not understanding?
That motor prop arrangement is incredibly dangerous. Way to easy for a child to fall down there and the prop,to have a bite out of them on the way last.
If you're the kind of parent that lets a small child rush about on that bathing platform unsupervised whilst the boat is underway then it isn't the boat that's dangerous...
You wouldn't want to be back there while underway, period. But, you could also fashion a canvas cover that goes over the outboard with plenty of space for it to still maneuver.
Interesting tech sheet , batteries 2 x the size of mine :-) I have DOD @ 95 % , pushing that today :-) + a Cycle life of + 6000 . against 80% and 3000 here . Roughly 400 kwh from the batteries , and a 40kwh motor . Is ' shore power ' less expensive than diesel or petrol ? Would you find many charging stations outside of a marina . I see water is ' free' on the canals , or am I wrong ? As such the boat is great , sell my house and live aboard :-) Still pricey :-) 2nd hand narrowboat maybe :-) Is the UK now 100 % green , renewable for power generation ? Passport arrived today , so can look for myself in 2 weeks time :-) Will be a busy 2 weeks there . Maybe get to meet some of the guys / gals I follow on U tube :-)

Hmm might have to leave daughters boyfriend at home if whole family go! 😢 A very nice, practical little runaround. Thanks Nick😊
Love this, Nick. I could see myself living onboard all summer. ❤
I'm glad you liked it 🙂

I do like this occasional change of pace
Lovely, and we're getting slightly closer to my price range, Nick!
They're called Cushions Nick 😛. What a cracking little river cruiser.

Good little boat. 16hrs of battery life is impressive. Great tour. 🇦🇺😀

I could see myself coasting around the okanogan lake with this and having a good time. thank you Nick.
Nick its a fab little river/canal/lake boat for the price. Lightweight hull materials too, minimum maintenance and its not trying to be something its not. 👍
Would have found more space for solar panels :-)
liveable boat !
Tks .
Thanks Nick! I'll wait until these vessels have a little more experience behind them...great prototype though...😮😊
I live in South West Florida I see this little thing as perfect for day excursions on our waterways
Lovely boat. Note you didn't tell us what the cushions, the ones stashed in the aft cabin, were for.

Awesome inland boat
What a great little boat. A caravan on the water. Nick, did you have a cold when yoi recorded this or the mic was covered?
Interesting alternative to unwieldy canal boats and their narrow cabins! Look forward to ownership reviews...
I was waiting for this review

Not enough power from the solar panels to charge the propulsion batteries. Solar panels are not magic.
@@geoffwoodgate7450 Thanks, I didn't knew those batteries needed such a high voltage (or is it ampere?) in order to charge.

@@geoffwoodgate7450 Well I would have thought that the produced amount would be enough to at least give a little bit of a boost to your range
@@cheffscream They could do but it would be tiny. Then how would you charge up the house battery?

Solch ein Boot habe ich im Sommer in Boltenhagen Ostsee Deutschland gesehen. Preislich interessant. Leider gefällt uns die Optik nicht.
Not sure a bathing platform is needed for inland waterways, could have used the space for better at the stern perhaps?
Hence the 29 version without the extended platform
Nice Boat Nick❤️⚓️

Some people want the quietness and efficiency of electric power whilst underway.
@ that’s understandable thank you for informing me. Love what you do Nick!!

Good afternoon nick
Good afternoon Big J!
A camper for the water.
Sounds a bit like an electric egg beater...
You had a balt syn camper before. What's the difference with this ?
The size

It's nice to see a boat that you don't have to be a billionaire to afford. More like this please!
200 k, "low cost". Boating really is stupid expensive.
No one ever claimed that it was a cheap sport.
It does help to become incredibly successful.
