I have no clue how much worse quarantine would be without tours of yachts i cant afford! Love the channel!
Completely agree!
I agree!!
Agree 100% .. this is a great channel to exercise to while watching.
I don't even want to think about it. These videos definitely qualify as "essential"!!!
Dreaming about a day it’s all over and we can get outside boating again!
This is my dream boat. Perfect size a beautiful interior. Love that you can see the water underneath the TV
Same here
Cheers Nick, during this quarantine all I have done is binge watch yacht and catamaran TH-cam videos.
You are by far the best presenter for doing walk throughs. There isn’t even a close second. My compliments to your exemplary presentation skills.
You're very kind, thank you! :)
@@AQUAHOLIC Told you...........lol......Z
I completely agree with u nick
Agreed, I battle to watch others. Your attention to detail is fantastic!
I love neat storage in yachts, i dont know why but the tender garages and parts like the back of this yacht with the tanks and everything, i just love it!
Try working on it. That hot water tank is above the intercooler (180 lbs) to remove the intercooler you have to lift it up.
As Nick would say, "proper pucker" 🤣
@@theislandsc its all fun and games till you have to work on it i guess😂😂
Hi Nick. Thats a Grrrrreat boat, British engineering and craftsmanship. Glad they changed the crew door. Great video
Europe as a whole makes terrible yachts. The British are probably the best but that’s not saying much.
Owned by Chinese, is it manufactured in UK or China?
Tiger Tari uk
Looks very elegant! Thank you
@@theislandsc Where do you think the best yachts are manufactured then?
I have become obsessed with the shower areas on boats.This boats showers were a real treat
My dream book has a new entry - Sunseeker. The brand has always seamed like an also ran, but this Manhattan 68 is a redeemer. While form forces function on a boat, Sunseeker has redefined that rule and put out a very clever vessel. From the stern "toy" storage to the airy flybridge, with a nod to the skylights for the owner cabin. Clever design, clean implementation, well integrated features - the only thing left is a boat buying fund refill (just 1,749,999.99 short). Thank you again, Nick, for sharing - you make quarantine almost livable.
See the message Aquaholic loads up a new video. Klick it . Waiting for...." Miele cooking, off course"...... Smile is on my face appears. And another day is turned into one of the better days. Thank you, Nick!
You're very welcome, thanks for your comment :)
Nick really loves his Job,makes me Happy to see him Happy. Once this is over it’ll be nice to see and smell the sea again.
I just rewatched this and realised the sun-seeker chap offering to help Nick. What a nice bloke, helping with the tour
Thanks Nick! In my opinion the ideal owner operated family boat! Amazing
I'm astounded by the sheer endless stream of practical solutions the designers/engineers come up with ... mindblowing!
Some clever thinking in this boat for sure.
Beautiful designed. Love it . Thank you Nick. This isolations getting very hard and getting to watch something I like makes it easier. Hopeing you and the family are still hanging in there . Prayers sent.
Thank you, so far so good. Hope you're okay too :)
@@AQUAHOLIC we are good here. Just a lot of nothing to do. Except for watching your channel. Lol. Live from Canada. Do you ever think of coming to Vancouver in Canada to do tours. Love to see some of that.
@@debbiejudd6512 I'd love to. Maybe once the travel restrictions are lifted...
Goodonyah Nick, nice to have a couple up the sleave, must have been a busy time whilst in Miami. I hope all is well with you and your family at this strange time.
Thanks so much for the escape from lockdown.
YOu're very welcome, thanks for your comment! A few more videos coming :)
What a pretty boat. Love the interior layout. Thanks for sharing!
When you compare this to the Princess F70 you did back in June 2019 I'd say this is a real "bargain". Makes you wonder why the princess is 800k more. Great looking yacht. Cheers Nick
TheSuprahuman probably the name to be honest, princess is known for being a luxury yacht brand 😀
I still think the Princess is to an overall higher standard although there's hardly anything shabby about this
@@JordanPritchard I know bud,(I'm a Princess fanboy) but Sunseeker is not Pound World stuff neither. I'll have the Sunseeker 68 and buy toys and fuel for 800K :) Cheers
TheSuprahuman so would I! Sunseeker make some absolutely beautiful yachts and if u got an extra 800k your sunseeker will probably end up being a. Fair bit bigger than the princess you were getting 😀😀😂😂
How about the Prestige 680s? Similar money & nice layout
For me the Predator 60 is my favorite "small" yacht. If I had the money for a ship that was more owner operated focused that's my go to. I'm a sucker for gimmicks and the slide away roof still is just the coolest thing ever.
Great boat! I live in Dorset so I'm near 2 Sunseeker shipyards (Portland and Poole). Big fan of their work and is always top quality british craftsmanship. Still think the country has more to offer in the maritime industry than it currently does.
Very cleverly designed boat Nick... one of my favourite tours to date. . Stay safe and well Nick...
Thanks, you too!
Hope your staying safe! Thanks for the best yacht tours on TH-cam!! Sun seekers are just a dream for me. Maybe one day 😀
Thank you - doing my best! :)
I'm not on lockdown. Apparently I'm an essential worker and I appreciate these videos even more now that I can't do anything except go to work and the grocery store.
Except the bar at the entry, which takes a lot of place, superb boat 👍
I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago and have been watching nonstop since. I just wanted to say you do an amazing job and are much more thorough and knowledgeable than any other bot channels I’ve watched. You put focus on the great pieces of the bot and show us all of the areas, and do so in a fun and enjoyable way. Thanks for making great content and giving me a way to see into these amazing boats! You’ve got a lifetime subscriber out of me.
Thank you! Great to have you aboard. :)
Not usually a fan of sunseekers but this is cosy! I like it!
Im same not a big fan of sunseekers but i do like this one! And the new 78 i believe ! The new boats there bringing out are great so far! Still like ferritti and princess and sanlorenzo! Mainly ferretti! 🛳⚓
Very well laid out, clever use of space, 4 heads and sleeping for 10 while not compromising living spaces, genius with simplicity. Only draw back is the smaller engine room, still good enough to do the job. Very nice boat all in all.
Thanks for the tour, excellent work as always.👍👍🚢🛥⚓⛴🛳☠🚤⛵😎
After the Miami video I keep thinking I can see Elvis!🤣😂🤣😎
He's out there somewhere..! :D
@@AQUAHOLIC stay safe.
So nice boat!! Great video as allways!
Sunseeker produce elegant craft across the range and this is no exception.
It also presents a real vfm option with great use of space inside and out,only minor quibble is what seems a rather limited range...still a great tour...thanks as always for a window onto another world.
Just drop down to 7knotts and you have plenty of range around 800knm! The range they advertise is at cruzing speed maybe 20 to 24knotts but if you drop it right down its range almost doubles! Of course this is a rough estimate but gives you the idea that lowering speeds drastically increases travel distance! I think ips drives are a little different im going by shaft driven boats! Happy sailing all🛳⚓🦈
Given the great British naval tradition I'm happy to defer to your usage of "heads" as opposed to the American "head".
Beautiful yacht Nick, I hope to get onboard one at the next U.S. boat show I'm able to attend.
Godspeed to you and to your Prime Minister.
Motor Head Nice sentiment, thank you.
Nicely said, thx
Forgive my ignorance but why a "Heads or Head" for that matter
@@irishart4793 "The term comes from the days of sailing ships when the place for the crew to relieve themselves was all the way forward on either side of the bowsprit." ----- I copied that from a somewhat dubious website of questionable integrity. Google is your friend............
@@motor-head but I also found on Google "Don't believe all that you see on the internet by Albert Einstein " so I thought I would get the correct answer here
Your videos are probably the best source of motivation to get work done during this lockdown period.
An amazing tour, as always!
Thank you :)
Thank god Nick had a tour in the inventory. Awesome yacht
With a boat like this I would have to learn how to scuba dive.
Millionaires, eh? Such a tough life...
Great tour, Nick - and just what we need to get us all through quarantine.
Stay safe, take care.
You'd have to buy one of those twelve grand dive watches too... oh the hardship :-p
I like some of the design touches on this boat - great video as always Nick, thanks.
The bow seating area has a canopy as well. The backrest folds forward to allow the canopy to deploy.
Sure does (I always notice this stuff too late - when I'm watching the video at home..! :D )
Nick love your boat tours. I could never afford a boat but watching your videos in your mind you just wish, maybe some day
I'm glad that you enjoy them. It costs nothing to dream! 🙂
The only thing that bothered me was the TV inside that did not go down. It was obstructing the view . The clear glass under it did not make up for it in opinion. Nice boat.
Thanks the lord you had some archived unseen footage to release during this lockdown!
Absolutely..!
I Think that 95% of This channels wiewer see This Channel because they cant afford a boat and 100% is here because you are so good to make These supreme tours
Glad you are still releasing new videos mate, like the nav keys on the wheel instead of touch screen, so it doesn’t get finger prints all over screen, think sometimes we get to fancy, 👍🏻Nick have a cold beer 🍺 on me ⚓️💦👍🏻😎good one
I have seen your review of the Manhattan 68 as well as the review of this boat on motor boat and yachting and I’d like to say that your video was far better. I prefer to tour the boat in the water as opposed to seeing it out of water in a boat show.
I really enjoy watching all of your videos and look forward to when you post a new one. You are truly helping me deal with the cabin fever of working from home. Thanks a bunch!
You're very welcome, thanks for your comment! :)
Really love the living space in this one! It seems like you can actually curl up on the couch and watch tv when you just want to relax. Love the sightlines too
A nice layout and good looking interior, we like it a lot.
prob my fav yacht thus far--everything it has makes sense.
Absolutely fabulous! Love your videos, narrations and how you tour the boat with easy explanation and always make it fun, thank you!
Thank you for your comment! :)
Nick, again a huge thank you for this video. You took a bit of a risk getting out, especially in Florida. And the background music is nice, not overwhelming. The overhead lighting reminded me of wind turbine blades. The joystick maneuvering is cooool! I also enjoy your use of the word "squabbling ". It's great, not used often enough. I also appreciate the chaise lounge in the large cabin. The makeup table found in most boats is silly...most ladies i know apply their cosmetics in the loo.
What a gorgeous boat, I really love the bow section, that layout brings the whole area alive instead of just being what normally would be quiet place to sun bath. Thank you Nick, fantastic review as always
As you'd put it,'That's kitted out rather nicely'.I like this one allot.
Now that's a cracking boat! I really like the design of this one, again the 'Tardis' effect. Those little extra touches, like the view of the water at the base of the t.v, great idea.
Another really good tour Nick, well done.
It seems like you hit 100k so recently, so you gained 16k more in a heartbeat. Well deserved, I love sitting back and watching your videos!
Another super review! Getting me through home detention over the Easter weekend. Thanks and all, please be safe, stay at home and binge watch every review! Great way to spend the Easter weekend.
What a wonderful tour you've provided us! They certainly did add some wonderful and useful touches. Great overall use of space. As always, I appreciate your tours and YOU ❣️
Nick, thank you for showing the AV systems in the cabins. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine when you skip them. (Sad, I know) I like this Yacht, I really like the separate entrance to the owner's cabin. Not a fan of the TV that does not hide away when not in use though. In a pinch, you could put some teenagers in the crew quarters to sleep if you are in need of extra space. For the money though, I am looking for a Nordhavn.
Nick, "Keep up the Good Work" - Love this channel... YOU, David Seal and Triston Mortlock are keeping me entertained and sane in these difficult times!
It's our pleasure :)
Very nice boat. Cleaver the way they designed the garage door to make it funcional and practicle.
Just small the counter area to prepare meals. Would have to change that. Otherwise the reast of the boat is good. Nice layout inside and out.
Thanks Nick. Wasnt expecting a video so soon.
Fantastic vessel. What a nice surprise to see this pop up this morning. Hope you have a few more up your sleeve before the footage runs dry.
We're okay for a bit longer :)
A heartwarming video in a cold distant world!
Highlight of the day! Thanks a bunch!
Cool, of course, as you would expect... thanks nick, another great video
Glad you liked it!
Stay safe guys difficult times! Good showing
I really love the lighting on this boat, so much thought has gone into it with great effect 👌
GREAT boat, a very good lay out. The price is also very good.
Beautiful boat, I enjoyed the video again ..😉
Wow! That is a sea-going Tardis. I thought the first cabin you showed was the master... and later - 3 cabins later - you showed the real master cabin! The interior layout and design of that boat is so much better than most.
I was down at Poole Quay last Monday and there were 2 of them berthed over on the Sunseekers Dock, brightened up my day.
Like that design finish and details on that model, really nice
A quick explanation.A toilet on a ship is called a "head", for reasons that go back to the days of sail. With nothing but wind power, a sailing vessel cannot travel directly into the wind. The one location that is always downwind is the head or bow end. Good channel by the way.
Everytime you mention the Miele equipment on board it weirdly satisfies me.
Thanks for the great tour, Nick!
Just found you and so glad I did. I couldn't afford a pane of glass on this boat, but do love the look of it. Also love your enthusiasm, makes isolation a whole lot easier to put up with. Thank you Nick
Great to have you aboard! :)
Thanks for the video once again.
Generally a nice weekender / family holiday boat, but the layout is brilliant indeed, I really prefer the simplistic "hidden functional" style, hope to see it applied to one of their larger models as well.
Another great review. Thanks for doing what you do.
A few thoughts:
1 - Add Aquaholic Socks to your SWAG. (I've seen more of your legs and feet this past year then I have seen of my girlfriend's)
2 - If you're running low on video because of the current situation: Release a series of "Best Of" Videos: Best 50-60 foot boats, Best 60-70 foot etc. Kind of comparing "apples to apples"
Everyone stay safe and be grateful for all we have.
I tried to do the socks for the shop, it didn't go well unfortunately.
Michael Lampros such good video ideas 😀😀
Hi Nick
Great Video! I didnt know you are still in Miami hahahahahah
When you see Crocket and Tubessay hello to them :-)
I'm not anymore, this was filmed in February :)
@@AQUAHOLIC I know! :-)
Great tour again Nick. Beautiful layout on that one. Like it very much.
Clever, stylish, spacious boat. Love it! Bit big for UK waters I’d guess, but perfect for the Med. if only we could get out there, or anywhere!!
Great tour as always. Thanks for giving us all some escapism whilst we’re stuck at home. Stay safe Nick. 👍
im bet we all want to be on that neat boat out at sea right now awesome
Great Video as ever Nick, Thanks so much for you in-jokes as well (Head & Heads), always make me chuckle! Keep up the good work!
That opening photo just screams buy me. Beautiful boat. Engine room seems to be a bit crowded. But when I am zipping around with my sea do that is not a problem.
Finally a modern and refined interior :)
Another great review Nick.
I hope you have plenty more stored away, as it seems we are going to be stuck at home longer than expected.
There are a few more in the pipeline. 🙂
Funny enough I was watching a video on HMS Victory, and they mentioned about the heads on a boat. They were called the head or heads because they were at the front of the ship or HMS Victory, and the name has stuck ever since.
The officers had enclosed ones, whilst the enlisted men had open ones. Men at the gun decks would relieve themselves in a bucket and hurl it over the side - never against the wind!
The captain and admiral had their own private heads in their cabins in the stern.
Source - Stephen Biesty's Incredible Man Of War
Can you imagine wanting to use the head, and it’s snowing and an icy seat ouch. I wonder how many bums stuck to the seat lol
Lots of interesting improvements. I still like the completely separate Master. I wish I could get this layout on a displacement, or semi displacement hull designed for serious long range cruising. As always, a great Aquaholic tour. Thanks Nick, for helping us all through this time.
I have been addicted to your channel ever since I found it a few months ago. You do the best reviews, by far! Keep up the great work!
Good to have you along :)
Very lovely nice tour well done
Hairysamsung yes what a lovely tour
We love a sunseeker! Great tour as usual!!
Gotta love the wonderful tours of boats I can’t afford buy a guy who can’t afford the boats he tours. It’s like we’re all taking dream tours together. Plus they way he does the reviews in such a non-snob manner as though we can all afford it!
Another great Yacht to dream about owning.or even just stepping foot on 😊
Excellent ideas on that one!! Maybe one day....
Great yacht, thank you Nick! Superb quality video, as usual.
As usual great job Nick. My personal observations that for over $2 million + tax Canadian there were several things I would want changed. The TV that didn’t hide hid the view out the window behind & seemed in the way. The owners cabin was too isolated from the others especially if you had children onboard. If my boat with kids or grandkids on-board I would move to the VIP cabin for social contact. I would imagine that if ordered one could customize this boat to one’s preferences. The quality looked good however. On further note US Navy called it the Head. British Navy the Necessity but when younger I told my grandkids to call them the Opportunity before it became a necessity. I love watching your boat reviews Nick even though I will never be able to afford that kind of luxury. Keep up the effort Nick so we can keep seeing how the other half lives.
Nice Yacht and excelent job Nick, regards from Montevideo, Uruguay.
Nick, yet another very slick and professional tour. I watch others and none of them come close to yours. Well done and thanks 😊
You're very kind! :)
Lovely tour as always and the boat is very nice indeed. However, in my opinion the galley needs redesigning. You'd struggle to serve a cup of tea, let alone preparing multiple course dinners for everybody. There's absolutely no prep space at all. The thin glass display needs replacing with a decent kitchen unit.
The pass thru window in the stairwell is the coolest!
That's got class written all over it,great tour,thanks.
Nice boat! Glad you’ve got regular content from a couple of months ago. I suspect this market, ‘ nearly rich’ will be struggling for a while. Maybe we’ll see a fire sale? Even though gas is cheap, I’m still sticking with the sailboats.
Great video, like the upgrades over the Manhattan 66. Don’t like the crew cab. Loose the beds, put propper separate (Miele) washer and dryer, storage and use the heads as part of the beach club. That said, cannot wait to see your tour of the new Sports Yacht 65 with a tender garage and 900m range (at 10kt).
A very nice boat Nick,and when I saw the two Sea Bob,s I remember an distinguished English gentleman having a very fun trip on such a thing :) :) :)
To me, that is the perfect sized yacht. And it's very well laid out.
So far my fav yacht you have covered, love your stuff!
Every time I see Nick in those socks, walking down stairs, with each step I hear in my head "Aqua...Holic...Aqua...Holic..." I even said that as my wife and I were watching a video, and she busted out laughing. :D
Now I’d love one of these!
Wonderful tour. This yacht has bang-for-the-buck.
