I agree...I'm more into these types of boat...the massive £13m+ yachts are just too big in my opinion...unless you have a family of 20 living on it....🤣
Agreed. I like to see how manufacturers manage to make the most of the space they have. When you find a pullman bed or an extra heads, it's really impressive.
@@tubeee99 actually videoes have most views from this channel are usually luxury yacht...i do love entry level, affordable ships but meanwhile i also want to see ships i probably have no chance in my life to aboard
Saw a little piece about people in California on the coast buying boats like these to live on permanently, no desire to use as a boat. Drastically lower cost than traditional housing and in the case of this little Gally quite nice accommodations. Also mentioned was younger men who instead of renting some crap apartment were renting a boat to live on. Turns out in their case it was less expensive, more convenient and they actually used the boat when they found time. Strange days, anyway great vid Nick..Cheers!!
Saw the same video I believe, two brothers living on a 40 something foot boat and pay like $990 a month versus the $3000-$7000 a month rent for an apartment
And you can offset some of your cost several ways. Offer a charter once in a while (maybe once a month). Also if at certain times of the year, you might be able to fish for certain desired fish. Of course, you'll want to look into any license or permits required.
Great trade off between cost, size, and interior space. I love the super yachts as much as the next guy, but regardless of my future financial situation, I couldn't see myself ever buying something that requires dedicated crew to operate. I prefer the privacy and sense of ownership that you get with the smaller boats!
Yooooo. I have tried to tell my friends, but the onely like the big ones because they are so cool. I am the onely one I now ho likes boats that thinks abaute that. When I grow up I am going to make mini yachts that’s have a creativy «space». Love to see peoples ho thinks like me
caught me by surprise, usually other brands get all the attention but this... this is perfect! The only catch is that I didn't notice any vents for air conditioning... you think it might have or might be an option? As you seem better informed than me, could you please recommend models/brands similar to this one?
Galeon are one of my favourite builders nowadays. They have a great range of smaller boats like this with quality finishes and some really clever features. Great to see something so manageable with such a great price-tag 🙂 Thanks for the tour Nick 👍
I watch these videos to de stress honestly , the cozy feeling u get watching the lower decks is just amazing , how wonderfully these things are made and no inch are lost to wastage of space…
My wife can't figure out why I watch about 15 super yacht vids as I settle in for the night. "Why would you watch something you would never be able to afford?" Absolutely love them, and I love to dream. The wife - what a buzz kill... Anyway, I have to tell you, these smaller boat vids - it's actually as exciting as the super yachts, because, well it's not a super yacht, BUT it's also not a dream. Quite exciting what one could afford for a few hundred k. Thank you for your "sacrifice" - but you're my hero for showing these smaller boats too! And you keep your enthusiasm; I love it. Great job once again.
Maggie the Baggie at 3:41. I’m in love with Galeon. Their designs are so unique and this size is really growing on me. Mainly because I’ve got myself convinced I could one day actually afford this size ... maybe do the Great Loop here in US.
With all that extra space around the engine I'm sure you could add one or two extra fuel tanks to increase the range if you wanted . Not bad for 30ft .
A lot of boat for 30'. I'm glad your able to make a new boat video. That walkabout up and down hills in the am had me breathing heavy. Take care till next time 🙏✌
I love these smaller boats because they are really interesting and clever with how they use space- the inside of a huge super yacht just looks like a nice hotel to me so I find these way more fun to watch.
Galeon 305 Tardis ... very nice. Any video from Aquaholic makes me happy and lowers my blood pressure.... loving the beard Captain.. very distinguished
It’s simply Greta watching these videos and learning about this stuff. Really well put together, informative, relaxed and perfectly paced presentation.
This is definitely one of the best packaged boats in this class! They have gotten a lot of usability out of the available space and still managed to make it look good. And I really like the hard-top with the solid sliding roof. Sure, it doesn't give you as large an aperture as a canvas sliding roof, but it keeps you a little bit warmer when the weather refuses to cooperate and requires less maintenance as the boat gets older.
That really is an excellent boat. Personally I like these tours of the more affordable craft, a few more would be very much welcomed. Thanks a lot Nick 👍
This is a surprise! Small boat but looks huge when you’re on it. Very nice boat tour Nick.. soo glad you back in my life again. Saying that I did enjoy the walks too.
Thanks for the review. A nice little boat for marina skipping. A bit like skiing really. Mountain Restaurant to Mountain Restaurant. One cooker burner is not really a problem. Some of those thermal slow cookers can produce wonders.
I like this ship's interior even better than that of your own boat (don't mean to be rude or anything; I'd keep your customizations, though - makes it more practical to take out and live aboard a few days with no problems).
@@AQUAHOLIC Aaaah, I remained with the false impression that your own boat was bigger. Memory is faulty after a certain age. Quite the line-up Galeon has, I've lost about 1h looking at their configurations for boats smaller than 50ft.
Nice boat for "the rest of us"! I like how they didn't try to cram in two cabins, but can still use the dining space if necessary. Thanks for showing us!
Hi Nick. A good use of space for 30ft. Tons of natural light and the helm seating is very clever although it may be too close to the wheel. Storage is excellent and an economical motor. Great video. Thanks
Lovely weekender, with a very good layout. I especially liked how you called it a starter boat, and then went on to treat the video that way. Well Done Sir!
Nice little starter boat, would need to refit the kitchen er gallery area though with a certain appliance maker. No microwave, but where do we plug our mobile phones and such like in?
Affordable luxury, thank you Nick I know we'd all like the yacht that would use this size as a chase boat, but in reality something like this isn't necessarily out of reach, and more realistic to own.
What a super little boat, and amazing weather we are having. I always think with single engines I would also feel happier with transom/emergency outboard option! That would give the best security/range economy option.
Absolutely beautiful boat. I would have it refitted with insulation though. Because I live in Ireland, where cold exists. Give the Hull an decent extension outwards, with probably 300 to 500 millimetres of foam insulation, and then see what can be done for insulation above the cabin area.
AQUAHOLIC looking on their website via your link (hopefully that helps your analytics 😉) I’ve found a 2016 one for 157k. What I hadn’t realised (another website checked out) is how extensive Galeons range is.
This seems like fantastic value, I suppose it's not brand new by the custom table but it looks it. Amazed how much living space you get and the amount of natural light in the cockpit
Great vid. I agree it’s really good to see slightly more affordable boats. This boat is a super day boat and would love to see more day boats with cabins. Keep up the great work!
"And underneath here.... No idea!" Best line yet, Nick! Thanks again.
You're welcome!
I thought it was going to be the crew quarters.
@@Bob8091 :D
Being honest and not trying so hard to impress. Well done Nick!
I think it's just a place to stash a shore line after tying off so nobody's tripping on it.
"and underneath here... no idea"
😅
Lmao that cracked me up
Loved that line! First time hearing that on these videos!
Could possibly be the crew cabin :P
@@Competitief me too
love these more affordable, entry level boats. Please do more!
Yeah! Agree. Aquaholic should do more entry level yacht reviews as most of his viewers (I suppose) as for entry-level budgets.
I agree...I'm more into these types of boat...the massive £13m+ yachts are just too big in my opinion...unless you have a family of 20 living on it....🤣

I ABSOLUTELY agree. They'd be great to watch on my £17.5M yacht
No seriously, I can barely afford an oar. I agree.
Not too big ,not too small. Spacious and it doesn't cost much to maintain.
Hey Peter nice to meet you here all over from Wion.😂😂
It's perfect in size and space for guests if needed
just like how i love my viktors
Not much?🤨
@@valentijnhuting3910 for a freaking 30ft Yacht? Yes, that's not much.

I saw that video! It was 2 brothers living such a chill lifestyle! I thought their parents even bought the boat.
link?
It's true, but the marinas have a limited amount of spots that can be lived in. Very cool though.

That sleeping cabin took me by surprise. I didn't see that coming.
Same here, I was expecting slim single bed
Im just glad he didnt surprise the sleeping cabin.
I know almost nothing about boats but I found your channel and have been watching for a couple weeks. You do a great job explaining everything.
Great to have you aboard! 🙂
1:39. “And underneath here …. No idea.” LOL! This is just another reason why we love you, Nick! :)
I love how he approaches all sizes of boats with the same passion. Really awesome tour guide.
It's a nice little boat indeed. Looks a bit bigger inside because it's bright.
Great trade off between cost, size, and interior space. I love the super yachts as much as the next guy, but regardless of my future financial situation, I couldn't see myself ever buying something that requires dedicated crew to operate. I prefer the privacy and sense of ownership that you get with the smaller boats!
I love looking at these small boats. I feel like there's a lot more creativity that goes into making such compact, multifunctional areas.

All those windows make it nice and bright inside, i like it.
Great little boat for people on the Gulf of Mexico...if it has good AC.
This would work - but we’d need a dingy for the crew.
A very nice boat. Thanks, Nick.
No worries!
It appears the dingy was underneath the boat between the cradle
@@grey8ghost1 It all comes together.
1:40 "Underneath here - no idea" LOL. Good on you, man, hilarious. Thank you ! ! !

With all that extra space around the engine I'm sure you could add one or two extra fuel tanks to increase the range if you wanted . Not bad for 30ft .
Plenty of space for a couple of sea bobs or dive tanks also and can be removed for servicing.
And Im wondering where does this boat get its bath water from?
@@hugbeaver Just like on airplanes, theres probaly somewhere you put in water before leaving, or it takes sea water and filters it?
A lot of boat for 30'. I'm glad your able to make a new boat video. That walkabout up and down hills in the am had me breathing heavy. Take care till next time 🙏✌
Thanks 👍
As a small boat owner myself I do appreciate these reviews, more realistic for my budget. More of these please Nick.
His transitions from different parts of the boat are remarkable
Great boat. I like that they didn't try to cram an additional cabin into it. Good use of available space and beautifully trimmed out.
I love these smaller boats because they are really interesting and clever with how they use space- the inside of a huge super yacht just looks like a nice hotel to me so I find these way more fun to watch.
A lot of boat for only 160,000. Love the vids Nick, keep em coming
What a nice little starter boat. Perfect for the day trips or even an overnighter for a couple. Thanks Nick.
I don't think I've ever heard him not know what something on a boat is - 1:40. Took me by surprise!
I never wanted a boat so bad until I stumbled across your channel a few months back. I'm hooked!
Welcome aboard!
Galeon 305 Tardis ... very nice.
Any video from Aquaholic makes me happy and lowers my blood pressure.... loving the beard Captain.. very distinguished
Wow nice looking boat
It’s simply Greta watching these videos and learning about this stuff. Really well put together, informative, relaxed and perfectly paced presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a gorgeous boat for the size (and the money)...
Wow , fabulous little boat , thanks Nick for the tour
Really nice video! I would like to see more boats under 200k. I love how clever the internal layout is.

For a 30 foot boat, she has loads of room. Very impressive. Great idea to have a not forced a second cabin inside, but to just have a dinette. Bravo.
By far the best 30ft boat I've seen. Amazing!
What a fun little boat. Very nice interior. Far above my salary ofcourse, but I'd like to think this is somewhat affordable, haha.
let it rest for a few years for the price to go down and boom
These Galeon yachts are incredible!!
Nice little boat. I like the center headroom area on the master bed for those special occasions or episodes of claustrophbia.
What cracking boat! Loving the design, and that ensuite, amazing for a 30fter, a proper ' Tardis'. Thanks Nick.
You’re welcome
This is a very nice and manageable boat. It makes a fantastic weekender. Thanks Nick, fantastic as always
My pleasure!
Excellent comprehensive tour as usual. I like all the small detail bits you explain. Nice little weekend boat.
Nice little fun boat for the summer, A lot for 30 foot
Your tours are the best. You spoil us for the others.

Expensive eye-candy boats are great but i'm very happy, that you are showing us these actually affordable ones too. Thanks! :)

Still a lot of money for some people however a great starter boat with a lot of features for the money.
That with a few beers, friends and a donut on the back would be mega fun!
