I love watching James , I have never owned a boat but I am really impressed with his knowledge of systems/boats .....HIs level of professionalism is 5 star.
Best walk through ever, stop apologising for talking too much. Most walk throughs leave you with more questions than answers. Please go on as much as you like. Great boat, will be watching your other reviews. Awesome, don't change anything.
I am quite new to the world of yachting and have seriously considered the purchase of a Nordhavn of smaller size and cost as my retirement plan (dream) from the life as a commercial pilot. This guy is the most informative and relaxing person to give you an honest, detailed guide to the unknown. I can't believe how interesting this much technical information can be until watching his great videos. Please post more of this family of yachts.
Best Nordhavn tour and lesson I've seen yet. Kind of rekindles my Nordhavn dream after dreaming of other boats. Thanks for taking the time. Enjoyable to watch.
Now this is what I call an honest, factual Nordhavn review. Absolutely superb. I've admired these yachts and wouldn't hesitate to buy one, when I get the money (🤞🏽Lottery Ticket!!). James answered many need and nice to know questions about a superb yacht. Really objective and impressive knowledge.
One of the BEST showings with honest descriptions of heads up maintenance items or issues that can arise without the “oh no the Sky is falling”... and not long at all. Maybe for the camera guy. LOL...
Much appreciated, we thought it may have been a bit drawn out but apparently not! Not too long for the camera man (I love to record and share the endless knowledge of nordhavns my dad has acquired over the years.)
Being an automotive tech for 22 years, I seriously loved getting a Tech's point of view on a Nordhavn! This was my 3rd or 4th time watching this video lol
James, I never get bored with any of your video’s. I love Nordhavn’s and if I can ever get one you would be my go to guy. There is nothing more enjoyable than watching a professional doing his job or explaining systems. Look forward to anything you post. Thank you for your time and effort.
After watching this video I told my wife that if we ever buy a Nordhavn (and we probably will), it has to be from that guy. Fantastic review of a model on my short list. Looking forward to seeing more in depth thorough reviews of other models in the Nordhavn range. I know it is time consuming and a hassle to produce such great content, but I have no doubt it will pay off for you. Keep them coming, and keep them thorough, and tell Matt to throw his worries about video length overboard.
Totally agree with you ebrown2! James your experience and passion for these incredible boats comes through so well in this video. One of these days I’ll buy one of these all going well. Maybe it will be from you!
FANTASTIC video, James. I wish they’d promote you to a position where all you do is present Nordhavns that are currently for sale. Easy job for you. Very well done! And I wasn’t bored for a second.
When I get ready to buy a boat, I want this guy to show me everything about it an I bet others don't say if anything is a bad idea or weak spot. The electrical an plumbing is very important to know, including what spare parts we would need later when out in middle of nowhere to have in storage for fixing. Great video, no it was not to long, I'd watched it if it was two hours long. Thanks great job.
We LOVED this video and have always wanted to see the N57 in depth. It’s a great boat, and we liked your opinion of the lower profile vs the N55 which makes sense. Thanks for this 👍
you guys made me look more into Nordhavns. you both Rock, although I'm a fast boat guy who love to reach the island 30NM faraway in 1hr, never the less I'm really considering my near future choice!!
It would be really nice to have this guy working at every Marina. All over the world... 👍 and whatever he charges to service your Nordhavn, I would bet you he's worth every nickel.
Sir if a boat review can be called beautiful then i have just watched it , so easy to follow understand , i didn't even have to back track ,,, what did he say , every word crisp and clear , and i,m living in The Philippines so Maraming Salamat Po
My wife and I toured this Nordhavn at Trawlerfest in Stuart this past spring. We went through twice. By far it was our favorite at the show. Thank you for such an in depth tour of Aquaholic. Your honest assessment on her build and performance is much appreciated. Now, if only I could figure out how to afford her. 😁🏴☠️
BTW- your presentation was anything but boring. I wish all boat videos were as informative. You could have spent 2 hours covering her and I still would have watched it all. It felt more like a Nordhavn classroom than just a sales video. Thanks again! 😁🏴☠️
Great review James! Thanks for the in-depth look at a N57. Steady camera Matt-thx for your technical expertise and mic wind thing worked very well. Gotta love that ER and 9 knots!
Very enjoyable, the positives and the other items to be paying attention to to keep her working for many years. 47, 57 and 62 are ones, lower profile. Thank you and heres to Happier New Year.
A MAA ZING...! I came upon and watched the review of the 62 yesterday and came back to watch the 57 video today. Nevermind the length of the video. You make it so damn interesting . Wish I could swing a 20 y/o Nordhavn financially. We are planning to purchase a 35 y/o Hatteras 53-58ft to retire and cruise on. If I could swing it, I would be on your doorstep tomorrow. Following "Mermaid Monster" and have admired the help you have been to them. Stay well and keep them coming.... and PS, if you service other brands, please consider a review like this as well. To quote Brooke Palmer.... "Wow, just Wow"!
Amazing walkthrough. Currently own a Carver 53' but when I retire I had planned on buying a Nordhavn 62. After watching his walk throughs of both boats, I think I'll start day dreaming about retiring on a 57 now.
This man is the book of knowledge love his forward thinking maintenance information. The only thing missing is a price I do not understand why, we all know they are not cheap, some are great deals but never cheap so be honest and post at least the ballpark for whatever model. Tthen you would have a perfect video information wise. 10/10 without this you are a steady 9/10 which in my books is one of the best presenter I have ever watched.
...a long video but his enthusiasm, energy and wealth of info. carries it well!...would recommend this video to any potential buyer that needs to learn that properly owning a boat like this one requires so much more time. aytention and commitment than simply sitting behind the wheel. Great job!
Thank you for the great detailed tour. You had me throughout. Lots to consider when buying a boat/yacht, Nordhavn, Fleming, Marlow, Outer Banks, buy James would be the man to turn to for advice you can trust. He knows his boats
As so many said before: If i would buy a Nordhavn, it had to be Mr. Knight to show me around, do the first shakedown cruise with me , and i guess we would be friends forever! Greets from Germany!
I've watched this review 3 times now, and seem to find new things to appreciate every time. A fantastic vessel presented by a really knowledgeable man 🙂
Very thorough walk thru. Lots of good information for someone interested in these boats. The first time I saw these boats I was turned off a little bit but I tell you they are growing in me. They will be a top contender when I punch out and retire and start living on the water full time.
what an excellent walkthrough presentation and absolutely a great thumbs up video!, thanks a lot for the comprehensive insights delivered to us. looking forward for much to come! absolutely fantastic presentation
Great video and definitely not too long. It is really helpful to be able to listen to your comments and gain an appreciation of what works and is optimum and what isn't on the Nordhavns. Always loved the N57's and look forward to getting back down to Florida and take a look on board again once travel is freed up.
WOW, awesome video. So good to watch a detailed walkthrough by someone who knows so much about the boat he's showing us. Please keep making videos JUST LIKE THIS. LOL
Great Review James, Very well done especially covering the engine room and motors "parts to keep onboard for easy repairs". I would like to see more of these kind of reviews.
brilliant walk through and talk through was not boring at all and will happily let you come on board my nordhavn and service it anytime {once i raid the coin jar to get a N60 that is . Thank you i learnt alot from your show and tell
What a great video. As a fan of Nordhavns (or at least the *idea* of a Nordhavn) this given my fantasies a whole new level of realism. Really good to hear someone who isn't just full of gushing praise for all aspects of the boat. The praise is all the more meaningful if you acknowledge the flaws. I loved the video on the 62 as well. Interesting that both the 57 and the 62 are amongst the least 'Nordhavn-y' Nordhavns but these videos have given me a who new appreciation for them. Keep making these videos please! If I ever have enough money to realise the dream, I know where I'm headed. :)
BORING? BORING?? not in the slightest. could easily have watched another couple of hours of your walk around this boat. excellent content, presented with passion. loved it.
Actually I was glued from start to finish. Even though I have never had a boat I always wished I had. Comprehensive review by an expert. Not only tells you the good points but the not so good. HONEST. Most sales people never tell you the bad. The engine was fascinating. Lots to do and check for. Never realized there is so much to do or maintain on the motor. If I was to buy a boat like this It would be a massive learning exercise for me. I can keep dreaming.
Keep the video's coming. Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate them. Been researching boat for retirement and these are at the top of the list. Thank you.
It is so interesting watching and listening to your reports. I knew you couldn't be a native born American, you are too straight forward. The more I watch the more I see I don't know. Keep up the great work.
James, that was the best walk though and review I have ever seen. It is obvious you love the Nordhavn product and I felt like you were giving us factual and useful information. Unlike some boat salesmen online that act like used car salesmen. I hope you are still selling Norhavn in a couple of years when I would like to start looking for a used vessel.
Thank you, that means a lot! James has a real passion for these boats (as you can already tell). We won't be going anywhere anytime soon, so give us a shout when you're ready!
Don’t worry about the video being too long. Anybody who is truly interested in these vessels would even sit through a longer video. If I ever find a way to purchase one of these wonderful boats, I want you personally walking me through and teaching me the ins and outs of these excellent machines. I have been looking at one online. Just have to get the money 💴 . Look forward to more of your videos.
By far the best and most entertaining and interesting presentation 👍 top notch. I could listen much longer all the interesting stories. Very kompetent and trustworthy sounding Gentleman and I would buy a boat from him immediately (but can't afford this size). How I said before by far the best presentation on TH-cam

I love watching James , I have never owned a boat but I am really impressed with his knowledge of systems/boats .....HIs level of professionalism is 5 star.
I love watching James videos. What a wealth of knowledge.
Agreed! Length was fine. Honesty from your experience is highly valued.
Best walk through ever, stop apologising for talking too much. Most walk throughs leave you with more questions than answers. Please go on as much as you like. Great boat, will be watching your other reviews. Awesome, don't change anything.

What a great guy, really knows his stuff and is honest also about faults. Would buy a boat from him any day!
Now, that’s a dedicated maintenance guy.. If the world had more of those. Way to go man, it’s real easy to feel your connection to the boats.
Thank you, that means a lot.
Best Nordhavn tour and lesson I've seen yet. Kind of rekindles my Nordhavn dream after dreaming of other boats. Thanks for taking the time. Enjoyable to watch.
Now this is what I call an honest, factual Nordhavn review. Absolutely superb. I've admired these yachts and wouldn't hesitate to buy one, when I get the money (🤞🏽Lottery Ticket!!). James answered many need and nice to know questions about a superb yacht. Really objective and impressive knowledge.
Thanks a lot, they are beautiful boats. Glad to have answered your questions!
This is the best Nordhavn video I have ever watched and I've seen at least 95% of them. Excellent.
Dang! James, I just had to come back and watch this again..... Thanks for your hard work and time. Be happy, be safe
The most detailed honest walk-through ever 👌
One of the BEST showings with honest descriptions of heads up maintenance items or issues that can arise without the “oh no the Sky is falling”... and not long at all. Maybe for the camera guy. LOL...
Much appreciated, we thought it may have been a bit drawn out but apparently not! Not too long for the camera man (I love to record and share the endless knowledge of nordhavns my dad has acquired over the years.)

Not at all boring and what a refreshing change to hear someone who knows what they are talking about.
Not boring at all, very interesting and informative.
Amazing presentation. Best Nordhavn information video. Highly believable. Please share more.
James, I never get bored with any of your video’s. I love Nordhavn’s and if I can ever get one you would be my go to guy. There is nothing more enjoyable than watching a professional doing his job or explaining systems. Look forward to anything you post. Thank you for your time and effort.
Very impressive. Wife and I both loved it and watched it straight through. Very timely for us as we are debating used vs new.....
Man, you are crazy dedicated to your craft and livelihood. I am mesmerized by your presentations.
After watching this video I told my wife that if we ever buy a Nordhavn (and we probably will), it has to be from that guy. Fantastic review of a model on my short list. Looking forward to seeing more in depth thorough reviews of other models in the Nordhavn range.

It'll be great to hear from you when the time comes.Thanks for watching and for your comments.

Yes, no worries about the length of the video- sometimes more is more!
FANTASTIC video, James. I wish they’d promote you to a position where all you do is present Nordhavns that are currently for sale. Easy job for you. Very well done! And I wasn’t bored for a second.
I also have to commend your son on the same level of dedication to his work as your cameraman. He follows you with a passion for details. Great job!
When I get ready to buy a boat, I want this guy to show me everything about it an I bet others don't say if anything is a bad idea or weak spot. The electrical an plumbing is very important to know, including what spare parts we would need later when out in middle of nowhere to have in storage for fixing. Great video, no it was not to long, I'd watched it if it was two hours long. Thanks great job.

Make sure to buy it from him😘
James if only we had someone like you in the UK! Great presentation, great Nordhavn. Thankyou
man this guy is so chilled and knowledgeable
Most definitely not boring, Probably the best boat review on TH-cam, thanks
It would be really nice to have this guy working at every Marina. All over the world... 👍 and whatever he charges to service your Nordhavn, I would bet you he's worth every nickel.
Sir if a boat review can be called beautiful then i have just watched it , so easy to follow understand , i didn't even have to back track ,,, what did he say , every word crisp and clear , and i,m living in The Philippines so Maraming Salamat Po

It felt more like a Nordhavn classroom than just a sales video.
Thanks again! 😁🏴☠️
Thank you for taking the time to look at her! Maybe she will be yours in the future or one like her!
Yacht Tech Inc it has been an ongoing topic of conversation. Thanks again.
Great review James! Thanks for the in-depth look at a N57. Steady camera Matt-thx for your technical expertise and mic wind thing worked very well. Gotta love that ER and 9 knots!
So nice to see a video without excessivwe wide angle lens to make the rooms huge.
Very enjoyable, the positives and the other items to be paying attention to to keep her working for many years.
47, 57 and 62 are ones, lower profile.
Thank you and heres to Happier New Year.

Nothing boring about this great video - more like an awesome documentary. Well done.

Hope all fine at your end,
Still waiting eagerly for a new comprehensive walk through.

These are the best boat videos on the net. Please make more!
I can understand why people might want to buy their $1M boat through this guy. Great passion and knowledge.
the nice feature also, of that door in the galley is ability to get groceries into the galley easily
Now I am shure , when I win the lottery I buy a Nordhavn 57 . Great boat . Greetings from the Netherlands .
Keep the video's coming. Can't tell you enough how much I appreciate them. Been researching boat for retirement and these are at the top of the list. Thank you.
Looking forward to seeing seeing more.
A boring Nordhavn walkthrough with James Knight.....IMPOSSIBLE! Love your style James! Be happy, be safe.
Excellent video. Second walkthrough I watched. Worth every second. Thank you James.
Glad you liked it Hermann
It is so interesting watching and listening to your reports. I knew you couldn't be a native born American, you are too straight forward. The more I watch the more I see I don't know. Keep up the great work.

Thank you very much! Your feedback is appreciated, nordhavn enthusiasts are the ones watching all the way through! Give us a holler when you're ready!
James! I learned so much from this video! Great job! 😊
You should do more of these! Very enlightning! Thx, from a dreamer
Absolutely loved that - great vid my friend
By far the best and most entertaining and interesting presentation 👍 top notch. I could listen much longer all the interesting stories. Very kompetent and trustworthy sounding Gentleman and I would buy a boat from him immediately (but can't afford this size). How I said before by far the best presentation on TH-cam
A very honest approach James and very interesting - keep it up and not long enough!
Great review, not bored at all!
Great review, Keep it up and look forward to more Nordhaven reviews!! Great boat!! Subscribed, Cheers Greg
Nice boat, nice man. The presentation was neither boring nor too long. Thanks!
Great video, enjoyed the professional view.
It was great, I learned a lot about the Nordhavens just in this video and you kept me interested all the way through. Good luck with the sale.
If I ever buy a boat it will be from this guy.. I think he's what I would call and expert..
Great video. Will be keeping my eyes out for more. Keep up the fantastic work!
Thank you! More will be coming!
James, superb video, well detailed, would have loved to see in the laz. Thanks.
Your feedback means a lot, we will make sure to be more thorough going forward!
Woah! Fantastic video, didn't pay much attention to the 57 before but now top of my list. Thank you for a fantastic & informative video!
