"The last thing you need out at sea, is loose stools" Thank you Nick, you have made my day.
They look very good, if that's a sample of the stools they use.
Very funny! Good catch. Sorry Nick.
😂😂 also made my day. Loose stools are always a code red
lol
I agree, made my day as well. Nick I love your sense of humor.
Fairline have out done themselves with this one. She is gorgeous. The finish through out is staggering with all the wood grain matching up. If I win the Euromillions tonight, I will buy one. thank you so much Nick for showing us around this fine lady
A Euromillions eludes me!
"I'll edit that out later" Never edits it out. Fantastic. Classic Nick
😄
@@AQUAHOLIC genius 👏
I can't believe I became addicted to these dam Yacht videos
Im an old semi retired uber driver and i cant stop watching these. I love what they do with limited space. I like these and tiny homes
Yep same feelings 😅😮
Especially bc I’m broke
...Yet, the worst part is that you will likely never own one.
OMG, what a boat, Fairline have smashed this out of the ball park, these will sell fast and in numbers. The quality of the workmanship is stunning.
I'm lost for words, simply perfect. I'll have to watch a second time now just to take in all the details. It's great to see you take your time Nick on the tour. Awesome job :)
Thank you :)
What's MOST impressive about your videos is you take the time to learn the boats before you show them, just BRILLANT...no fluff, just details. Honestly, I think the BEST reviews of boats. Well done mate!
Glad you like them! 🙂
No one wants loose stools, could this be a new aquaholic bingo phrase
It's the last thing you'd want at sea!
Could this be a contender for Smugglers Blues 3? This is an amazing yacht!
I wish!!
When he gets to 1 million subscribers we'll all chip in £2 each & he's there (with a discount from Fairline!)
Definitely don’t want loose stools out at sea. Sorry for my juvenile humor.
The 'extra equipment' on this boat at this price point lifts it to a new level of desirability! The option to add refrigerator/freezer and storage space, the washer/dryer, and even the ironing board make for comfortable cruising.
I'd not be surprised if the price tag in the description is the starting price, before all of the add ons. 😨😨
I’ve always thought fairline to be the noisy neighbours to princess and sunseeker , but wow this is up there with the best in this size , and to keep the price as low as it is . Well done fairline a great boat with amazing detailing. Great video Nick .
Glad you like it!
This video was 19 minutes longer than the one you did on the Majesty 140 , I hope it dose as well
A great video as always.
I liked the 'Loose Stools' gag, which is a pity, but these fixations are deeply rooted.
Could you please insert a slightly risque joke or innuendo into all future videos? I think it could be a big hit with the fans and further increase your notoriety.
I'm not sure notoriety is what I'm aiming for! 😄
Fantastic boat and video ! Thanks Nick! We are taking orders for this new model now 😊
Hi James. When you have a factory tour can you take Nick along. Cheers.
Is this Fairline's flagship?
I was wondering who was going to tour this one first, James or Nick.
This might be my favorite boat! Set up is perfect. You capture it so well, Nick with your eye for the details and styling! I wouldn’t see half of the things you point out. Thanks for another awesome video. Great way to start my day!
Glad you like it! 🙂
I love it when manufacturers listen to their dealers and customers and make requested changes to their kit. So many insanely clever touches that on their own are small but together are a huge improvement. Fascinating tour Nick and I can tell from your enthusiasm that you really like what Fairline has done.
As being a huge fan of the Princess Yachts because of your videos, I really have to admit, that I also wouldn´t say "No" to this Fairline beauty.
Perfect size, perfect finish, owner´s manageable, wonderful seating area in the front and a beautiful flybridge on top.
As always thanks for the comprehensive tour...
Maggie seems to be going incognito these days... This time she's blending in with the cushions.
She's a Chameleon! 😄
This is the one for me. Everything is perfect, the colors the wood the size. I miss only one thing....the money too buy this beauty. Thnx Nick for this tour.
Nice Nick. Like this one. Puzzled on the crew cabin. If one is in there with the door/steps closed, how do you know if it's safe to open the door and not going to throw someone off the steps? I take it one has to shout 😃
at 35:43 there is a window and possibly a porthole in the top step
@@whymelaugh you can open the porthole and poke whoever is hogging the steps in the ankle to get them to move 👻
The crew are always up out of bed before the guests, and into bed well after the guests (unless you're in Greece) ;-)
You could always wear a shirt with “I’m 6’2”” on the front for your videos? 🤔🥴😉
(You noticed I didn’t point out your mention of having loose stool at sea comment) 😳🤪😂
This one is not just redesigned and modernized yacht, it is a piece of art! Thank you Nick for bringing this one to us!
Still that 58 under 400k is my favourite fairline, it was one of best boat videos ever, keep up good work.
7:16 that is maple? i'd think that's too dark to be maple.
15:40 it would be even more brilliant if the drawer front flipped down automatically when the top half of the ironing board is flipped over
17:00 again, are you sure that's maple? doesn't look like maple to me.
21:43 HHAHAHAHAHAA. Truer words have never been spoken.
All, I can say is WOW, I like the upgrades on this boat
Great to see Fairline's Squadron range still setting the standard.
Always liked their innovation and finish standard.
I thnik out of all the boats below the 70ft matk I've watched on Aquaholic the Pearl 62 and the 2010 Princess v62 are the two I would get if I had the money
Beautiful boat, only critique I would say is when you dropped the seat on the stern at the beginning of the video, it sounded like a cheap fit up? almost like it was an after thought but everything else was stunning! Can I ask, when you state £2.5 million, is that a 'from' price or the price of the vessel your showing with all the options you showed? Yet another great, detailed video, thanks as always for showing us these master pieces
Pretty sure that was to this (high) specification
Stunning boat! Not sure why you would specify a utility room and then put the washer/dryer in the lobby area... Seems the whole point of a guilty room is exactly for, utility appliances.
Wow...at 21:45 I am a bit flummoxed. I want to laugh uproariously at Nick's "the last thing you want when you are out at sea is loose stools" joke, but his delivery was so dry, I am not even sure it was a joke. Is "loose stools" not a possible innuendo for diarrhea in the UK like it is in the USA? Whether it was intentional or not, it was a hilarious one liner...and props to Nick either way. 😂💯✌
It was indeed intentional 😄
@@AQUAHOLIC BRILLIANT! 😁
The four programmable drawer fridges/freezers in the galley is a nifty idea. The engine room access and height was unexpected and amazing. The lighting variability, spacious rooms and heads, right down to the flags on the side of her, all very impressive. Thanks Nick.
13:13
"I'll edit that put later."
He says to the viewers.💙
Hi Nick, a great boat for the money, proper woodwork too not the IKEA look a like. Only pet peeve for me is the galley being part of the saloon and that possible troublesome galley powered rear window. Still that's the way they design yachts these days. Cheers DougT
I don't think the window is powered, I think you just unclip it and hinge it open.
@@AQUAHOLIC OK, sorry but most of all the ones that's been featured have been electric driven, either pop ups or top hinging ones 🤔 😎 I'm glad they also had manual back up systems as well as all the digital controls, otherwise an electrical breakdown at sea would leave too many loose stools too 😁😁😁😎
Nick , You have hit a home run again with this little Yacht . This boat has a Ton of conviencs to offer . Great little boat . Your amazing Nick to bring us such great boats like this. !! Cheers Nick , Your the very Best at these Yacht reviews. You are not boring the least. !!
Aquaholic's most comprehensive tour ever!
Now imagine this level of detail on a 200+ footer tour. That would be a two part video
filmed in 4k, but not posted in 4k
otherwise great video!
I know! 🤦🏻♂️
Quite possibly the best boat I've seen on your channel.
I'm guessing the difference between "re-imagined" and "2.0" is similar to the difference between "bespoke" and "custom;" the former words are more expensive. ;)
This is a really nice boat for its size. I really like the 4th cabin option of putting extra food storage (and the ironing board!) down there. Thank you for the video.
What a great yacht, really clever how much has been squeezed in. One point, you don’t wave at the mirrors anymore?
I keep forgetting! 😄
This one is exceptional. I have never heard of magnetic doors on anything but stores. It's absolutely ingenious! It's also very elegant. Magnificent yacht!
Beautiful boat, but as a potential customer, I'd want CHAIRS for my guests at the table rather than uncomfortable, backless stools. IMHO.
Fairline has always made a beautiful quality boat and this one is no exception. Every detail is nicer than the last. Just incredible. Thank you Nick for another incredible and incredibly detailed tour.
Our pleasure!
What a classy yacht, they really are on top of their game with this beauty. A real work of art. Pour me a glass of fizz and sign me up… in my dreams . Great tour Nick
What a lovely yacht; this is a prime example of where Fairline are heading and is a demonstration of what they have learnt in the past couple of years. I have always liked Fairlines and especially this one it looks so refined! Brilliant detailed tour Nick, thanks!
This is the kind of boat we all dream about
Reminds me of the redesigned Princess 62 MK2. Lovely Fairline yacht though.
Great boat Nick, but what would you have? This, a Manhattan 68 or a Princess F70
I would spend hours sliding that single bed back and forth!
That one button would immediately turn me into child!
🤔🧐 Try empty the dishwasher in ......🤪
Its in the wrong place!
🤦
Nicholas! Really!
"The last thing you need when you're out at sea are loose stools"
Double entendre of the year so far! Fnarr fnarr! 🤣
PS. Nice boat!
I must say that the fit and finish of this boat is remarkable. Never seen anything like it in this class. Almost over the top
I hate that Fairline Squadrons now have aft galley layouts. I want to walk into my boat just like my house. My main entry goes into the living room, not the kitchen. I'm not a chef, so my life doesn't revolve around the kitchen. I want a small galley that has enough room to cook a meal and get out of there. I want the largest salon or living room possible. Most people spend far more time in the living room than they do in the kitchen. Especially on a boat. Older Fairline Squadrons are still some of my most favorite boats...not the new ones. This is a beautiful boat though. One more thing I don't understand is, on cabinets and closets with mirrors, why not put a brushed metal piece where you press to unlatch? I hate fingerprints on everything.
I have to agree. Every boat I've owned has had a central galley. Always with a decent extractor that would exit at deck level. Usually just forward of the wheelhouse/helm station.
I like an aft master too; these aft-open yachts just don't look right to me. I guess I'm just very old fashioned...old too - lol
Sorry Princess..I think I have a new favourite yacht😬. Love this Nick. Top work as usual👍
Always thought that if i will big on Euromillions that i'd have to chose between a Princess or a Sunseeker but having seen the Fairline I'm not so sure anymore. Ticks an aweful lot of boxes. Great video as always.
Buy that ticket, someone's got to win! Come and see us at the Fairline stand when you do!
16:35
I love that blue, white and grey colouring on the bedding...16:58...not so much the pillow case now that I see it up close.
best yacht ive seen it is reimagined 😊
Hugely expensive, but you can see where your money is being spent. I love the opening sequence, btw, - an unusual viewpoint at the same level as the flybridge. Nicely done.
Superb work as always Nick. If I had a pound for every "here", I would be on my way to buying one of these beasts 😂. Only joking, love and admire your work (although must admit I am jealous). £2.5 mill for the reconfigured ironing board alone is worth it. Thanks for yet another fantastic and informative video.
I've been following you for many years and you know a lot of things about yachts and I have learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work😀
Thanks, will do!
Why is the washer/dryer outside the utility room? Should be inside there.
Hi Nick. The upgrades and changes are perfect. A proper opening roof, not slats. A rival to the F70 (previous 68). Tons of space for long trips, a winner for Fairline. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊 looking forward to the Aquaholic trial.
As you say "last thing you need out a sea is a loose stool" hahaha
I like how you're always informed on the various options available throughout the boat. The utility room was brilliant, I wonder if one could opt to have washer/dryer in there instead? Would make sense to me on a longer trip. Foldout seat in the back was a real nice touch.
You did see the washer/dryer combo, he showed?
@@VirtanenDK Seen plenty of those. Not a good option 😄
*gasp* ropes? I did not know ropes were on boats? 🤣😅🤣😅😂😂👍👍
Ah the return of the ironing board... and a classic Nick joke (loose stools...). Seriously nice boat, I love the mix and match fridge/freexer compartments and the utilty room is just perfect. Fairline will sell loads of these (and probably in that configuration). Another top 10 candidate for 2022 and we're only in March. Thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, “homely” in North America means ugly.
"the last think you need out at sea is loose stools"
has loose stools in the dining area
Perfect fairline.!! Another cabin would have been nice for such a big boat.
You clearly weren’t listening.
And a Hugh thanks to Nick, to bringing us this very nice Fairline Squadron 68 what a great show again from you a beautiful yacht this is and so very well spec in all way but old thinks come back so like the ironboard so good and it was a little climb but there is a cyroscoop on board Thank again Nick I can hardly wait for your next show
Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
First one here!🛥😀
Almost!
I'm pretty sure buying one of these new isn't an option for the vast majority of us (could be wrong). But since I've been checking out yacht world once in a while I look at these with an eye to 10 years or more in the future. Add ten to twenty years to that beautiful boat and it IS something a lot of people could manage if they really wanted to. You're not going to want to wait that long but just know there are boats available now that were fantastic 10-20 years ago that have probably been well taken care of.
Amen I was thinking the same thing. Hilarious!!
Ok i think fairline is now my favorite brand this is stunning all the finishes are just wow very nice
Nice engine room nice to see a seakeeper!! Game changer!! 👍👍👌👌👏👏
For me very impressive good job Nick good lock
Before I saw this vid I thought James was nuts for ditching Princess for Fairline but now I've seen this I take that back - this is right up there! I wonder if you can have a small office instead of the utility room - that would be useful.
Nick another superb tour. Wanted to see it in 4
K but TH-cam would only allow 1080p max. Did you upload in 4K or is it me
I thought I'd filmed it in 4K, but apparently not. Most frustrating.
@@AQUAHOLIC Still looks good mate. You may have filmed in 4k. TH-cam upload settings may need to be adjusted.
@@clivebrowne9888 Unfortunately, I thought the editing software would export it in the same form it imported, but it defaulted to 1080 and I didn't notice until the video had gone live on TH-cam and I couldn't understand why it wasn't playing in 4K. Oh well, I'll know for next time...
Wow Nick! What a gorgeous boat, oozing with fabulous Fairline attention to detail & quality. I wonder if they would allow me to buy in instalments? Maybe a door handle or chopping board to get me started!?!? 🤔🤪
You know the More WE.. yes Samantha does too, look at all the boats which, is quite a lot, the more I absolutely love these FAIRLINES.. that's why we'll be having a Squadron 58! But they are amongst the best I have seen. These are along with the SUNSEEKERS are in a different class. They go further than some, some of the competitors I've honestly find quite dull compared
Only because we started with you, and I learned all I need to in this regard
Champion 👍 we appreciate all the tours and THIS boat is knockout !!! 😁👍🏴🍀Ps .. make sure Marriane knows I always think of her with the green clover 😁😁😁👍🏴
How many positive things can a Fairline 68 have? No chines above the waterline. 2. Light switch that can be turned on in spite of breakers being in stand-by. 3.Traditional Fairline quality woodwork throughout. 4. Freeform interior furniture, rather than right angle plot plan. 5. Switch and functional backup for the digital displays. 6. "We can edit it out later". 7.Utility room that is a big improvement over the cubby holes on smaller versions. 8. Multiple interior floor plans for a truly custom stateroom set-up. 9. @@On a personal note to Nick: I hope that I was the one to mention the English homely VS the American version of homely. 10. TWO holding tanks. One for the owner's cabin and one for the 3 quest staterooms. Attention to detail. 11. British Engineering and Workmanship at it's finest. (As apposed to British union labour in the 70's/80's.) 12. Flybridge storage for plates and cups enabling easier service. 13. Great Option List For Only 2.5 Million Euros. 14. Cat Diesel Engines! 15. Nick is Six Foot Two ! !
Oddly, a similar price to the Princess F50 ($2.35 million only 3 months ago: 0QOLoRW4xkI). That doesn't seem right...
I'm guessing their planning the old game of putting the price up 40%, so people feel good when they haggle 20% off. SUCKERS!! 😅
I watched this with the October 2019 edition of MBY at hand so I could cross reference the upgrades....
I must get out more !
There's a tour of the 19 boat on AQUAHOLIC :)
Would love to see a slightly bigger version of this, say 75ish ft. The craftsmanship is wonderful and the bigger version would equate to slightly bigger cabins, full kitchen and a decent shower in the crewcabin. All to dream away for tonight lol...
Great boat and great video! Must have watched it half a dozen times
Nice tour and more boats in this class or larger. Thank you.
Great video! Suggest you create a playlist of boats with fold-down decks. I love this innovation; shows great engineering and design... I'd also suggest featuring NautiStyles / NautiGuys on your channels for sharing. They just kicked off a multi-million dollar charter and yacht build series (with Bering) that complements your excellent finished product reviews.
Simply stunning boat. Fairline are back to their best, thank you for pointing out what are options i have noticed you appear to be doing it more on your tours now i don't know if it is deliberate but it is appreciated, who would have thought that on a vessel with a fly bridge designed for entertaining that a grill would be an optional extra ? also why have a utility room like the old design ( a brilliant feature on a boat designed to be used for extended periods) and then put the washing machine out side the owners cabin in a really awkward spot? That said if Fairline gifted me one I wouldn't say no lol.
Stunning boat. Fairline have really gone up in my estimation with this. 👍
You would have thought Fairline could have dropped those flagpoles so You Tubes premier UK yacht reviewer could get a great high level side on shot🤠 on The other Nick is taking it for a spin!
Hey Nick I was salivating watching this video I love everything about this yacht, the layout, the cabins, the bathrooms, the technology, the wood and even the crew cabin . Fairline have outdone the competition with this beauty have a great Friday bud
You too!
Excelente embarcação oferecendo otima oportunidade de compra. Incrivel apresentação sr Nick, parabeeeeens.
What a brilliant motoryacht nick, Fairline have built an absolute beautiful boat with their Squadron 68 flybridge, it caters for everyone and everything. Another brilliant tour nick can't wait for the sea trial!
Coming soon! 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC the bell will alert me, oh, have you any desires to do a sea trial of the Targa 46 that you covered in lockdown, it's a lovely boat and no one has (in this country) done one as yet. I know that they're a lovely motorboat and I am taken with this boat, perhaps may even contact Wessex Marine and purchase one. 😀
Stunning looking Fairline Nick,
Great tour as always 👌🏻
I do like a squadron! There again, I do like a nice phantom and targa! 😂
Can’t beat a bit of Fairline, well unless it’s a princess 🤟🏼
Most assuredly the best one, in that range. If I had the money, that would be my choice. Great presentation.
Awesome. I especially like the ability to change your Refrigeration from freezer to regular refrigerator. Very insightful thinking as your Refrigeration needs will change as you use the boat differently. If you're going away for awhile you would probably want more Frozen. If you are having a sizable crowd for a day party you would want more regular Refrigeration. I'm not particular to high-gloss wood. Same wood but in a matte finish would be perfect for me. I don't think I would have thought to look under the seating for my Crockery. Other little innovative things like the small stool that is fix to the floor but hinged in the owner's cabin so it won't move around when you're traveling
Slightly disappointed that Nick has mastered the pronunciation of Miele. Can I request a return to the days of exciting anticipation when we didn’t know whether we’d get a “mee-lee”, a “millie”, a “my-ell-uh”, a “miller” or a “mile”. 👍
Just a personal niggle I know but I wish he would STOP SAYING " becus " instead of saying "because".
Other than that I really like these videos.
Obligatory "Smugglers Blues 3?" comment...
In my dreams...
Form follows Function - i.e. an airplane has wings in order to fly. Any attempt to ADD form to basic functions affords a "cluttered look". Fairline MELDS that rule into one - form and function must enhance the boat AND bring function to all features - such as a crew cabin fit for guests. One glides from space to space, items are where expected not "tucked away" like a prize in a treasure hunt - "I found the microwave just here under this cushion." Not like that. Fairline, floating works of art meant for pleasure - nothing more...
Well I just stuck my hand down the side of the settee and found 5p! Just another £2,499,999.95 to go! Anyone want to part share with me?
This boat is bloody gorgeous 👌🏻
