I've seen many Aquaholic tours of bigger luxury yachts/superyachts and although they're all hyper-luxurious, a lot feel very clinic, almost like a show home. Whereas this boat feels more homely and comfortable, as if someone has taken a very high quality apartment and screwed a hull to it, so far one of my favourite yachts I've seen!!
I was just thinking the exact same thing. It’s like, some of these boats just feel like floating Holiday Inn Express.
That is the Nordhavn brand, practical, functional and Nordhavn rugged vessels, typically open ocean capable. They tend to be displacement slower long range explorer orientated. In this case 4000nm range. Most fancy fast yacht can't do a fraction of that and not suitable for ocean transient. They are known for trawler style, not fancy swoopy futuristic. This 96 is a slight departure from the brand in style, more luxury, but at the heart it is Nordhavn. The brand is known for having single main engine with a WING engine, a small aux get home engine, on their smaller yachts. I think it is a brilliant. In this case, two main engines. When I find a few 10's of millions laying around and in the market for a yacht, Nordhavn is on the top of my list.
I think it has a lot to do with the intended use. Some are simply small floating hotels for the charter market, Nordhavn is for the owner. Broward and Hessan (sp?) and others build homes!
As the first Captain from the day she was launched, I can say: “I loved working on Lacey Kay for the first 4 years of her life on the water.” My wife and I plus 2 crew, the owners and 2 lovely little dogs took this vessel as far as 60 degrees north in Alaska to 59 degrees north in Bar Harbour Maine. From the west coast to the east coast as far as Columbia and Panama including the Caribbean and Bahamas and every port in between. It was a great adventure that I would not mind repeating on this vessel. I hope she finds a great owner. She is truly a magnificent little ship.
That's fantastic, thanks for commenting! 🙂
For those that have never been on a boat or long excursions, what does the crew do when they are not "on shift"? Or, is it expected that they are on the clock the entire time the boat is in use?
@@AB-ol5uz if the boat is on a long passage its a 24hour business for the crew. They rotate on a watch system. How many hours in the bridge and engine room depending on how many crew you have that can stand a navigational watch hence qualified. The MCA/USCG dictates hours of rest and crew must not be over worked to combat fatigue. When the boat is at the dock and the owners or charter guests are not onboard the captain can assign shore leave. The crew also get 30 to 40 days leave per year as per a normal seafarer employment agreement depending on the flag-state of the vessel. Does that answer your question? Please feel free to reach out if you like to know more of how things work onboard boats. And NO it’s not like Below Deck the Bravo tv show.
I fell in love with this boat the first time I saw her a couple years ago. The owner did a fantastic job on the customizations. Everything is beautiful and practical with a homie feel. I have seen some videos of other Nordhavns underway that seemed really loud and kind of unstable. They were smaller and probably older. How is this one when it comes to that?
@@DaLucaPaduca Lacey Kay is state of the art when it comes to stability and her redundancy on the engineering side. Most boats have 2 stabilizer finds however she has 4. The ABT track stabilization system works amazingly underway you can even adjust for not just rolling, but pitching as well. She has also the largest range of any Nordhavn of her size with a capacity to travel 8000nm at 10kts and no need to rebuker fuel. If I remember correctly she can hold 9500 gallons of fuel. With her 2 x C18 Caterpiller engines she can go around the world. These are not high performance engine however more like tractor engines that can go for ever. There was no need to put bigger engines in these full displacement hull boats as it has a max hull speed of around 8 kts. Lacey Kay can however do 13kts at full speed.
Usually I'm not a big fan of the interior of Nordhavn's ships, but this one is stunning. I love this yacht.
Agree they always feel a to old for me . The Nordhavn 41 is more my speed .
@@BeethovenslaguerreRacing-jt1hr Not necessary too old, but too 'heavy/dark'.
I'm the exact oposite, I LOVE the industrial and rugged no frills feel of most nordhavens, but find this one completely lacking in the charm that I enjoy. It's like it gave part of its soul to look like the popular kids.
The best Nordhavn ever... And WITH a Hot Tub!
You should see the larger ones. Like battleships
I’ve fallen in love with Nordhavn because of Nick’s amazing videos and beginning to think that Nordhavn are the best blue ocean motor yachts out there. Incredible layout.
I'm with you!!! Simply Great!!!😃
Definately are the best out there for tough long distance travel.
If you can get a chance to go cruising on one grab it with both hands.
One thing i like the nordhavn is the engine room, its so well organized and neat, and also the pilot house it felt like your in the proper bridge!
The absolute best tour guide in the yacht industry. Keep doing what you do and thank you.
Thanks, will do! 🙂
Whoever designed that master en suite understood the concept of shower beers.
What a wonderful boat, every single thing seems to have been properly thought through. Just waiting for my lottery win.
That is the best designed Nordhavn I've ever seen. All the spaces made sense. Thanks for another top notch tour Nick!!!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
I’m just trying my luck with this
Best looking Nordhavn I've seen yet. Incredible layout and storage capabilities. 1:08 First time I've seen an extraction hood on an outdoor grill on a yatch. Only thing missing on the back is a livewell. 19:12 Extra storage to hang fishing poles from the ceiling :) This is a dream yatch for fishing and/or scuba diving. Luxurious for anyone not into those things as well with amazing range to go anywhere.
Phenomenal little ship; classic!
Great tour Nick, thank you.
1/2 million can’t be far off and will be very will deserved.
Nearly there! 😃
Magnificent and I was lost in the crew’s quarters!
The perfect yacht for cruising the Whitsundays and nearby.
🇦🇺 👍
Surprised only 3 crew for a boat that big.
@@drawingdead9025 If the captain has a crew mate that would be 4 crew. Also, the "extra" cabin at 8:03 could easily serve as another crew cabin increasing crew to 5 or 6 which is plenty.
WOW !! She's amazing 🫡... It is a perfect balance, i do appreciate some luxury vessels, Riviera comes to mind, but I'd never purchase one if i could... I don't want to be on an ocean casino... I want a tough ship that can do it all 👍🫡 contemporary, simple beauty, a survivor of most occasions. Thanks Nick 👍👍👍
My pleasure!
Loved that forward vip even more when you revealed the 2nd sink!
That was a classic Nordhaven! The style sets it apart from other yachts of similar size. Modern but with elegance. 👌
That Godfather music at 17:57 was so fitting: imagine being on that “little ship” going down the coast of Italy, with a glass of wine in your hand and your family and loved ones around you, and a muck like that playing through the speakers!
Thank you for the video, this bot is amazing!👏🏻
I do like a Nordhavn. And this one I like very much. Could definitely see myself winning the lottery and retiring to live on this.
The owners en suite has a refrigerator and a tv! This is my new favorite yacht that Nick has reviewed.
It’s an old man’s dream.
The fridge in the bathroom is meant for makeup haha
Before I watch I know we're gonna be hearing about:
- Classic Nordhavn
- Little Ship Feel
Darn tootin' !! 😄
I agree , but he is right! 🤣
I absolutely love Nordhavns. The range, the styling, the mix between functional and luxury...just perfect in my mind. I'm quite jealous of the future owner of this magnificent ship. Thanks for the tour!
I"m glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
What a great tour! Thank you for bringing it to us. This yacht feels like you could cruise for weeks and truly enjoy the boat. It is gorgeous, but in a functional, livable way. Cheers!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Cruise for weeks? You could live on this thing and cruise full time and year round.
This has to be my favourite yacht yet.. I absolutely love the top deck and the galley. So many awesome little details.
Perfect boat to cruise the Whitsunday Islands and Great Barrier Reef. Great video and well presented. 🇦🇺 😊
Many thanks!
Without a doubt, your boat reviews are the best in the industry, thanks! A tiny, little element that you may want to add to all videos (you do it for some, but not for all), is to specify where the video was taken: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Palma, and so on.
I'm glad that you're enjoying them!
Maybe the most beautiful interior on a Nordhavn I´ve seen yet. Great yacht, love it
That has got to be one of, if not the best yachts you have reviewed Nick. Everything was on the money. Equipment, decor, storage, layout, the whole nine yards. Better get a couple of extra lucky dips for the euro lottery this week. Love it.❤
Altough you had me at "dive compressor at the stearn", this boat kept on giving. I've seen all the videos on the channel, some twice, but this went straight to the top for me. That blend between the exterior and interior is a winner. Imho this should be Nordhaven's new aproach. I'd buy one in a heartbeat (if I had the money).
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Loved this yacht. Warm and comfortable looking.
A proper live aboard yacht. Stylish and practical. All that’s missing is a lawned garden and a tiled roof and it’ll be as easy to live in. Great tour Nick but would be a tad peeved if I got the VIP stateroom if I was an equal share owner.
There’s always something special about a boat that looks and feels like home on the inside. Sure, there’s luxury and pools and hot tubs and sprawling floor plans, but nothing beats true homely comfort out at sea exploring the world. This is a yacht that I could enjoy and live on, indefinitely traveling the seven seas.
Can you ever go wrong with a Nordhavn? My god what a beautiful little ship. Thanks Nick! Cheers!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
Somehow, this boat manages to have an extra story without it being obvious. Very clever design!
A Nordhavn with a hot tub? The world is going crazy!
This is the first time I see a tour of a Nordhavn that is not only practical but quite luxurious as well.
Nice. Very nice.
There are nordhavns at 76 ft with hot tubs up on the 3rd deck with the fly bridge
Well i just didn’t think that Nordhavn did anything like this it’s just got everything you would ever need, it’s just stunning absolutely stunning, i can’t think of anything else to say but WOW WOW WOW FANTASTIC love this beautiful piece of machinery thank you so much for this Nick you’ve made my Sunday 😊👍👍👍
I"m glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
As always enjoy watching your tours Nick, the salute in front of the windows never gets old. One thing you missed a door right when you came out of the owners cabinet
I did, I think it's a day heads
Very nice boat. I think I would prefer something a bit sleeker but if I was forced to take this I think I'd be a very happy camper.
This one checks all the boxes. Absolute perfection and 4k miles!!!
Nick: "I'm so self critical!" never say we viewers especially when we know you will "edit that out later!" 🙂 Great tour Nick and probably the best Nordhavn yet.
Thank you!
Fantastic boat, my favourite for quite a while 👍👍
Great tour Nick. Cant argue Nordhavn makes some great boats. I will say I am liking the change to having loose furniture in deck. Much easier to change configuration when you don’t have seating built in. The only place I see them lacking is in the crew quarters. The shower doors look like maintenance nightmare to me.
Thanks ❤
She seems like a small boat but the quality of the inside decor and facilities for guests and crew is great. She is a home from a comfortable home for family, friends and crew. She may be a 2017 boat but she has been well cared for.
Why do you say she? How do you know the boat doesn’t identify as they/them? 😁
How does it seem small? How is this a boat? A boat is the 19 foot tender. This is a damn ship capable of crossing the Atlantic. You typically need a sailboat to do that.
@@Gabeasher699 sailors often refer to their boats as she. Tradition relates to the idea of a female figure such as a mother or goddess guiding and protecting a ship and crew.
There is also the Latin word for ship, navis, is feminine. So that's why I call a ship She. Or sometime Lady of the Sea..
@@Gabeasher699, Actually the boat does prefer they as there is in fact a sister boat, and "they" cruise together often. So, there you have funny(not)guy!
@@josephdover198,Ship? Hmm... How about a "yacht!"
There was some extra enthusiasm in your voice on this one Nick, and rightly so. What a yacht!
These people certainly know how to build a boat. A proper work tool.
I love this boat. One thing that attracts me is the interior color scheme. It’s warm and inviting. A beautiful boat. I could close my eyes and see myself cruising the coast. 😊
that's what I was waiting for, after it was teased in community tab.
Hope you enjoyed it! 😃
The best thing about a These boats is a feeling of a extreme safety.
Wouldn't be afraid to go anywhere , is it
Classic Nordhavn indeed. Very nice.
Oh yes, what a beauty Nick. Nordhavn really are class.👍🏴
Really love these nordhavn videos. Always such impressive little ships.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
Finally. The wait is over. Bring out the popcorn 🍿🍿
Enjoy!!
The best Nordhaven you’ve ever Shown. Wit the God Father music in the back ground. What a yacht
A typical well built , well thought out Nordhaven. Excellent yacht and another great tour. 👍
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 😃
One thing about the 96 I wish they would change would be extending out that upper deck cabin more. Make the private deck smaller and increase the size of the owners cabin by another meter or so. Its a beautiful space but that deck feels like it’s wasting some room!
Also excited for the steel hull or aluminum hull nordhavns.
The 2009 Nordhavn 86 from a couple months ago that was 4.5 million is definitely still my favorite though, as nice as this one is!
That one was classier…the one with the dark wood?
Owner's deck feels like it was a salon and galley converted into a bedroom and bath. But I love it. Like you said the deck is huge more evidence it might have been a gathering place not just a space for two. It could use a table and chairs for eating breakfast.
Love a Nordhavn, almost as much as a Fleming. Thank you for a fantastic tour, as always.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lacey Kay was an award winning boat, it looks fabulous.
I could live there(on ANY Nordhavn). Thanks for the tour Nick !
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Now you are talking, Nick! This is a proper yacht and little ship.
Best nordhavn I've seen yet
96 feet of absolute loveliness.
Once again, a great tour Nick! Thanks so much for all the hard work.............
My pleasure!
Love this boat, as all the feeling of classic yachts whilst being light and airy. With beautiful doors off master's bedroom. Practical styles and not tacky like many luxury yachts. Thanks Nick for the tour. 👍
My pleasure! 🙂
Favorite boat. Nick, a man that just loves to open cupboards and drawers?
Happy wife, happy life! This is a boat of uncompromising compromise. Explorer, fishing boat with luxurious accommodations for those that are just along for the ride. I would never have guessed Nordhavn if you wouldn't have mentioned it at the beginning. The little round watertight hatch in the machinery space below the VIP guest suite had me thinking torpedo tube.
Amazing boat Nordhavn, and great tour Nick!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 😃
This ‘little ship’ is worth every penny imo 👏
Worth mentioning is the tons and tons of ballast these boats carry to make them so seaworthy. :) Great job as usual Nick. Thank you.
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
Very nice Bridge area! Looks pretty sweet! 👍👍
If I could only have one. It would be a Nordhavn
Absolutely brilliant Nick - so much attention to detail. One of my all time favorites that you’ve shown us. Thanks ever so much!!
My pleasure!
Great Wave, as always.
I do like the Nordies, and this combination of luxury and hardy practicality is a wonderful example of why!
I have watched Nick and his wife for a few years. Nick is the Absolute Best!!!! I know a lot more about yachts and there engines. He has inspired me to learn much more. I want a yacht for my family. I would show the world, I want my children to know all about other people and their cultures!!! Thank you Nick!!!!! Michael.
If you watch for years maybe you would know that Nick is not married and Marianne is not on the scene anymore
What an incredible yacht, looking forward to the yacht tour of the tender !
love this yacht and how functional it is, made for actual use. some yachts can seem like theyre made exclusively for shows😅
Great tour Nick and Team! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍
THAT is a helluva lot of boat to keep Bristol fashion for owner operators!
Love the galley, big enough to service a full crew/guest load. I'm not a fan of the upper deck owner's cabin, but the view would certainly be worth the trouble, if you are willing to possibly have people wondering around outside your room. Crew area is interesting, kind of tight in spots, but layed out well. Love the divided head in the double cabin. Thanks for the look, Nick.
All I can say is Amazing.
Amazing doesn't even start to describe this
Very Impressive, I am not a big fan of expensive superyachts, however, this Nordhaven is an excellent combination of space, luxury and practicality.
Absolutely brilliant -- #superyacht and #video -- just ❤this! #Nordhavn did very well on the design and build. But of course, any owner's stateroom which has it's own balcony gets points added. Many thanks! 🍷🤗
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
This thing is huge for the length. Love it, especially how the main deck is laid out. It almost looks like a floating condo. It looks comfortable, but more importantly, it looks warm and inviting, not like a sterile museum piece that you look at but can't touch.
Nick, great job as always
Thank you!
That is easily the nicest Nordhavn interior i've seen, absolutely stunning - kudos to whomever specced this out, its lovely. Thanks for bringing it to us Nick.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Sir, You show a boat like no other!
Thank you! 🙂
If you are looking for rugged, safe, very long legs and still luxurious then this is it. You get a lot of quality for the money compared to more flashy yachts.
I would go for one of the smaller ones to be able to run it without a crew - but I can see the enticement of this size.
Great little ship.
Perfect location for master suite, the color choices work extremely well, she a... keeper
Classic Nordhavn
Classic comment
I love Nordhavns for access to engineering spaces and such but this is on a whole nother level, esp in terms of spaciousness
Another excellent yacht and video Nick ⛵️🛥🚤👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 🙂
Wow I think thos has become my new favourite . Definitely the best Norhaven Ive seen through your videos Nick. Thanks for the tour loved it.
I'm glad that you liked it 🙂
I am not a Nordhavn fan but she us a lovely boat. Thanks Nick...
One of the best boats i've seen!
Very nice , always enjoy a Nordhavn tour , just something about them , this example is on another level, thanks Nick
I'm glad that you enjoyed it! 😃
Such a beautiful boat, very well thought out. I do love nordhavens for how practical they are, and having been to sea many a times, function over form is preferable. And Nordhavn seems to have the best mix of form and function. I like the galley and the partition that was lowered. So you could be more family style with this vessel or host a party. Thank you for the tour, both the owner and Aquaholics.
Our pleasure!
I love this boat... but I love the 120 soooooo much more. I've worked my whole life in maintenance. The N120 is built for ease of maintenance. I love it.
Very impressive! Love everything about this yacht! I could easily chill with Maggie, Nick and a cocktail 🍸 on this one.
🥂
a 96......WHAT!!!. lovely lovely lovely.
That is the boat for me! Nordhavn with a hot tub- perfect.
My favorite one so far!!!
I get sea sick and don’t really like going on boats but I love your show and love your tours of these boats
That's great to hear! 🙂
