Another delightful boat tour. It is quite refreshing to see more sailboat tours. Power boats are all about getting to the next port of call as fast as possible while sailboats are all about the journey along the way. If you are in a hurry, sailboats are not for you but if you love the journey and being moved by the wind, there is a sailboat calling you.
The sunlight reflecting off the water on the roof above the interior dining table, that has me sold. I'm already sailing down the coast of France in July.
You know whats the best about this review? The fact you said " I recorded lots of boats today " Win Win ! Beneteau Oceanis 38.1, beautiful boat, the interior choice of wood/color made the whole space look far bigger than actually is!
Those lovely hull windows in the forward cabin really make this boats 'at anchor' appeal. Most boats this size only have the deck hatch but imagine waking up anchored in a beautiful Mallorcan cove and having that view from your bed. The new Bavaria C38 has added decent forward cabin windows too.
I really like the spacing on sailingboats often a lot more than on motoryachts. It is much more utilitarian. I don't need 20 Showers and 15 walk in closets (e.g. a en-suit for every Cabin). I mean if i am on a 30-40 foot boat it is probably with family and close friends anyways, bit to tight to share with strangers imo. 1 Seperate shower and 1 Toilet would be more than enough and then use that space to make the cabines bigger/ add more storage room/ a place for a laundry machine, a seperate cabin maybe with a desk to work at so you can do some homeofficing. If i OWN the boat i do not need it to be a Hotelroom, i want it to be a second home. And like i said, i find sailingyachts tend to fill that role much more than motoryachts. That said, it might be obvious why. If i am a sailor, i am willing to work to get from A to B on my boat, while motoryachts probably attract a verry differen clientel.
If you were married to my wife you'd know that 2 toilets is essential. There's also the rule of 4 for toilet roll storage, every female requires 4 rolls for every 1 used by a chap, what they do with it who knows, one of lifes mysteries.
@@SurreyAlan then put 1 "Bathroom" Shower plus toilet and one single toilet. If you really need it, but it might be better to change your toilet habbits and safe the space to stock up all the toiletpaper you need ;).
What a gorgeous interior. Took me by surprise how much room you have in there. That large storage space under the seat. That would be an ideal place to put my wife when I need a break.
Never been so disappointed in one of your walk throughs... fantastic boat, but I soo wanted you to drop the contents of that tray down the back of the cooker😉😂
We just went sailing on the older version of this really brilliant little boat changed my opinion on little sailing boats. This new version looks great. Thank you Sir! 😁
Wow! These are shockingly popular. But honestyly, I can see why. Affordable family cruising is the name of the game. I like the little sister of this even more.
If sailing is yout ting what a great little vessel at good price to get. Love how light it si and the layout very practical, Deffo have 2 cabins with that nice shower room.
Sailing boats are really not my thing... BUT.... I was really surprised haw spacious, well built and well kitted out it was. Lovely looking boat. Great review as we`ve now become accustomed too.
Your reviews are by far the best yacht and boat reviews here on TH-cam. I love how informative and thorough they are. However, PLEASE try to get onto more superyachts!!!! That’s what we’re all really here for :)
Love looking around these sail boats, I prefer dreaming about motor yachts but these sailers are really smart. Lovely weather in Southampton today, I can't even remember where my shorts are! 🤪👍
Cracking tour of a really appealing little yacht. We really are spoilt for choice in this size range, well designed and expertly executed. Super yacht quality at an attainable price point and sensible size. Thank you as always for a cracking tour, take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍⛴🛳🛥🚤🏴☠️⛵🚢⚓😎
So I think that’s the best layout for a boat that size I have seen so far…separate shower room is brilliant…heart tells me I want a 1000hp motorboat to belt about and act like i’m 17..but everything ends tells me what a boat the Oceanis is..always like them anyway but now they seem better than ever..transant is on my bucket list - perfect boat to do it in.
Really enjoyable tour! Brilliant effort with the fridge 😁 Amazing idea with bottle storage in the table - maybe more boats or just tables should have that feature!!
Maggie's got some competition in the _looking-cool-on-a-bench-seat_ stakes, as those seahorse cushions are pretty damn awesome! Great to see a 'sailer' on your channel. A lovely boat and a great price. I wouldn't mind one myself! Great prez as ever, thanks Nick. 💯#☝️😎👌
Not a fan of 'proper' yachts but that's quite a nice piece of kit. Is that the lovely Beneteau ST41 alongside the quay that you did a tour of recently??
I’m always amazed at how much liveability these designers can fit into such a small space. I think this boat hits a perfect sweet spot, never thought a 38ft boat could feel this big
I’ve said it before, I generally like a centre cockpit better, but that shower! 🔥For a production boat, she’s a sweet one. Once again Nick is bringing the variety, with another fantastic Aquaholic Tour!
Jasmine Harrison. On a side note, just figured I'd share something I just read. Jasmine Harrison,a 21year old teacher has single handedly rowed 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in 70 days, about the same time it would take me to row from Torquay to Dartmouth I reckon. 👏👏
Nick, excellent and informative as usual, thank you! Should you come across a Sirena 64, can you pls review it as well? I am so in love with that one 😍
@@AQUAHOLIC I know! Saw the 64 on another channel. Liked the boat so much, but not the walkthrough. But once you’re used to Aquaholic, there’s no other channel!
Another sailboat! Great, many thanks! I do like Beneteau, the only thing that spoils the aesthetics in my view is the huge GRP bar above the companionway, resulting in the hugely oversized plastic windows as a result of it. Practical it may be, I just don’t like it. still a Hanse fan!
Excellent tour of a lovely yacht, thanks Nick! Good job it’s got an engine as I wouldn’t have a clue what to do with those flappy things?!?! Moral of video though: don’t balance breakable stuff on top of a gimballed stove... that’s just silly! 🤪
Yet another class modern sailer, love these drop transoms 👍. Seeing the empty cutlery tray made me think, on many boats you have featured up for sale, you have shown cracking sets of branded crockery, cutlery, glassware, tools etc. Are these supplied with the boat or optional extras when new? Only thing I got was one dealer branded floating key ring, with all 3 keys on, in a shape of an old ships wheel 😂.
Glad your not the butler Nick ..somehow it reminds me of an old movie I saw once with a butler that did just that ..lol " shake shake shake" .. very funny. Thanks Nick for making my day with a few laughs .
Hey Nick, thanks for another cracking all-access tour - and no broken cups! Quick question, what would be specific to the Med that might leave one needing 2 anchors instead of 1? I'm still learning, thanks for your great insights.
What a pretty boat! Looks very good on the outside, but the interior.. WOW! Love the colours and the space! And actually a really fair price, too. Moments of tension when moving the tray were fun to see. Cheers!
Good Morning Nick & Maggie! I really like this layout Nick, I think the price seams great for a new boat with financing now days and I can see how this might be a good option for folks. - That's one of the many reasons I love your videos, we all get to see how much some of the used boats on the market go for...I remember the 2008 Trader 42 that was 250k, That was a lot of boat for the money! Knowing what you might get for how much makes it easier to dream of a boating future. Knowing the price makes it possible to build a timeline..That's the difference between a Dream and a Goal right...a timeline? Kind Regards..Oh and Maggie's sister is on her flight now...thanks for that.
I haven't sailed anything for many years but does the roller furling main have some form of battens? If not is there a loss of performance? I presume this is more a social /cruising feature where performance is weighted less than convenience, because they certainly look easy to use. Until they foul!
I'm totally with you. There cannot be sewn in battens that roll up inside, and you can't put them in as you pull the sail out of the mast. And how is the sail attached to the boom? I'm old school where the sail slid into the boom and then you guided it into the mast as you raised it. All this new fangled technology LOL.
So that when the boat is on a reach and heeling over, you can stand at the upwind helm and have a much better view as the sails are on the downwind side of the boat.
Beneteau really do produce beautiful boats. This particular model I love. Well thought out and executed. A superb weekend boat and everything you could need for a week's coastal cruising. No surprise that it's popular.
“I knew that was gonna be a poor idea, but we got away with it.” An unexpected highlight of this excellent tour!
🤣😂...nail-biting!!
The struggle is real...
hahaha totally unexpected and cool!
How Brits say yolo.

@@charlieodom9107 I don't need a big shower. I don't wash my feet and I am not starting now.
Wow stunning Nick Sir... Its small but has lot to see.. Wood work is also great... Looking stunning dashing Nick Sir...
Love the double door to the master bedroom. Looks much more spacious.
A bit of excitement today with you moving the coffee tray! I thought it was a gonner.
Oh, the jeopardy! Also liked to see the Swift Trawler across the marina.
Yesss!
Great tour and a fantastic boat. That shower? Wow!!! Skip the three-cabin and go for this shower and storage! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching!
What a gorgeous interior. Took me by surprise how much room you have in there. That large storage space under the seat. That would be an ideal place to put my wife when I need a break.
Lovely sail boat, great interior finish, looks very big for a 38
Another really nice sailing boat Nick great tour as always mate thanks 👍🇨🇦
More Ikea than Hans Christian but then i'm more of a Nordhavn man. Love your videos, thanks for the variety.
Beneteau always seem to produce simple classy vessels whether power or sail, this is no exception. Thanks again Nick Cheers
Never been so disappointed in one of your walk throughs... fantastic boat, but I soo wanted you to drop the contents of that tray down the back of the cooker😉😂
😳
U cant have many boats left to show, i mean holy shit ur posting so much! Love it!
He could start doing u-boat tours.
@@darthkek1953 you mean u-yachts 🤣
X-Yachts
Still got Dilbar and Eclipse left. And I guess he could release these walkthroughs in parts!
@@darthkek1953 haha, yeah
It's been a few years since i did any sailing but that boat looks very inviting
Nice layout, love the light and airy feel down below and of course great quality tour .
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Beneteau makes such lovely boats.

Thank you, you keep the dream alive.
Great layout and the separate shower was good.
I loved the “weight training” with coffee set part of the video. :)
I love this channel!!
Great stuff mate, great video bud
Glad you enjoyed it
Another sailboat tour!
Your reviews are by far the best yacht and boat reviews here on TH-cam. I love how informative and thorough they are. However, PLEASE try to get onto more superyachts!!!! That’s what we’re all really here for :)
I'm completely stymied by international travel restrictions currently. I'll be back aboard them just as soon as we're able to travel properly again.
Great work Nick - as usual! You are always a highlight in these locked down times. Thanks for keeping our collective chins up.
My pleasure!
Love looking around these sail boats, I prefer dreaming about motor yachts but these sailers are really smart.
Lovely weather in Southampton today, I can't even remember where my shorts are! 🤪👍
Nice looking sailboat. ⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️⛵️
Love to see the odd sailboat here and there, keeping me on my toes! Great job nick, as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
That's a sailing boat
This is a comment
..And somewhere out there is a TH-cam algorithm that will link these 😁
Thanks Nick
Thanks for that!
4:10 the crew quarters I guess.
What a beautiful well proportioned yacht. As someone who used to live in Lower Swanwick its also nice to see The Hamble.
Cracking tour of a really appealing little yacht. We really are spoilt for choice in this size range, well designed and expertly executed. Super yacht quality at an attainable price point and sensible size.
Thank you as always for a cracking tour, take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍⛴🛳🛥🚤🏴☠️⛵🚢⚓😎
Another great tour Nick ....time for a head cam to free up those hands !!!
Great idea! 😄
Nick - New with a small Hand-Workout 👍🏼
Good looking boat.
Could be a three cabinet layout, that rear storage could be a in law suite. Love the light color in the cabin.
So I think that’s the best layout for a boat that size I have seen so far…separate shower room is brilliant…heart tells me I want a 1000hp motorboat to belt about and act like i’m 17..but everything ends tells me what a boat the Oceanis is..always like them anyway but now they seem better than ever..transant is on my bucket list - perfect boat to do it in.

💯#☝️😎👌
I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if those seahorse cushions are the teasers for the new 2021 Aquaholic merchandise range. :-)
Loved your tour of the riverside house in Dartmouth. So like a yacht tour. There must be other waterside residences 🤞🏻🥂
Not a fan of 'proper' yachts but that's quite a nice piece of kit. Is that the lovely Beneteau ST41 alongside the quay that you did a tour of recently??
Yes it is.
@@AQUAHOLIC Really liked that one. But the Sealine 430 is still my fave
I’m always amazed at how much liveability these designers can fit into such a small space. I think this boat hits a perfect sweet spot, never thought a 38ft boat could feel this big
Nice boat and great video as always Nick!!!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Top tray work Nick! Practical sailing boat for 4 - love it
Thanks 👍
I’ve said it before, I generally like a centre cockpit better, but that shower! 🔥For a production boat, she’s a sweet one. Once again Nick is bringing the variety, with another fantastic Aquaholic Tour!
Have fun with it taking up all the exterior space and getting sprayed
Hi Nick. A nice boat. Plenty of natural light. Manageable single handed. Welcoming interior and 2 cabins. Great video walkthrough Thanks 😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Very nice review as always ! Can you review luxury sailing boats like the Amel 50 or 60 please ?
What a great natural boat tour!
It's nice to see some sailboats! Need more cats too!!
Definitely a nice boat - highly functional for a range of sailing needs. And, a number of used ones will be available.
Beautiful and simple boat. Thanks
very practical boat
Jasmine Harrison.

It is boats like this that make it so hard to decide between s/v or m/v. Stunning.
Whenever there is a sail boat video it’s Christmas for me
More to come!
Great Video Nick !! Stay Safe.
Thanks, you too!

Nice looking boat, must have French press coffee brewer looking for a place to fall .
Hello,may i suggest u do a tour of support vessel or shadow vessel for those super yachts,tq
I was breaking into a cold sweat watching you juggle with that tray!
So cool!
Another sailboat! Great, many thanks! I do like Beneteau, the only thing that spoils the aesthetics in my view is the huge GRP bar above the companionway, resulting in the hugely oversized plastic windows as a result of it. Practical it may be, I just don’t like it. still a Hanse fan!
They probably come off pretty quickly and easily.
Excellent tour of a lovely yacht, thanks Nick! Good job it’s got an engine as I wouldn’t have a clue what to do with those flappy things?!?! Moral of video though: don’t balance breakable stuff on top of a gimballed stove... that’s just silly! 🤪
Thanks mate love this boat excellent value for money

It depends - sometimes standard, sometimes optional

Hey Nick, thanks for another cracking all-access tour - and no broken cups! Quick question, what would be specific to the Med that might leave one needing 2 anchors instead of 1? I'm still learning, thanks for your great insights.
Small anchorage, it cuts down on the swing at anchor

The coffee situation was intense.
This episode had some real suspense!
Terror on the high seas! 🙀 noooo! Not the crockery! 🤣
Very nice.
Admiral, a potentially dumb question. Why do sail boats have two helms?
So that when the boat is on a reach and heeling over, you can stand at the upwind helm and have a much better view as the sails are on the downwind side of the boat.
wow, the warden of shawshank doing sailboat reviews, I like
I hope you can review the elan gt6
