Not for me, not in the 21st Century. Too many flotsam cargo containers. You hit one of those at 8 knots and before you know it you are trusting your life to the lifeboat. In every boat magazine test on inflatable lifeboats at least one ALWAYS fails to open. What do you do then? Die like a gentleman I suppose? More of these larger yachts need to have watertight foam filled linings to make them unsinkable. Why spend money on a rubber dingy that might not open when you most need it? Just make the whole yacht a lifeboat!
That might just be the best layout I've ever seen on a sailing yacht! Huge amounts of space, that master cabin looked like something out of a similar size med cruising motor yacht and the exterior was super spacious for this kind of boat. Very impressed at the solar + water maker combo, plus the cold storage capacity. You could probably get enough fresh water off solar power alone in a pinch, I'd feel very comfortable getting out on a serious trip in this knowing you've got everything you could need
Depends on the size of the water maker. The high output watermakers generally draw far too much power to run off batteries. The upside is that you can fill a 150 gal tank in three hours.
My thoughts exactly. The engine room was fantastic most sailing yacht engines are stuck under the stairs with no access but this was fantastic. For a yacht sailed to the Caribbean and back it also looks brand new, this one is a real head turner.
Checkout Oysters. They are next level re layout and access to engineering is amazing. Admittedly, they cost a boat-load (!) more, but are sublime. Wouldn't say no to a Discovery, as their pedigree is truly excellent.
Awesome yacht, amazing amount of space, the master cabin especially, don’t think I have seen a yacht with such a airy feel to it. Definitely in my lottery list. Great tour as always Nick, glad you found the hanging space eventually 🥴
What a superb yacht. The owner has clearly loved and cared for it as it’s in fantastic condition. There’s just so much space and an amazing master cabin. Wow … thank you for sharing this one on your channel
Nick, you never cease to amaze us! Just when we think you've shown us one of the finest boats before and then turn around and show us one of these fantastic beauties! I honestly can't think of anything to dislike about this boat because it has everything one could need.
Whilst I have no sailing experience, your tours are so fabulous as to get me to watch this one, and not only was I not just plodding through the video, but was absolutely impressed! Absolutely no compromises--trans-Atlantic worthy, gorgeous presentation, and sumptuous accommodations!
A lovely yacht, really nice interior and I love the owners cabin. True transatlantic travel as well. Good access to the engine as well for a change. Cheers Nick
Nick I was taken across the Atlantic to NYC by my father on a discovery . I don’t remember the size I think 58. I do remember every aspect of the voyage. Just me at 8 yrs and my father. Quite special.
Hey Nick what an awesome looking yacht they have managed to use every inch of space while giving that palatial feeling you spoke of, Another brilliant tour from you so thank you and I hope you have a great day bud
Wow, the interior is like a work of art. Love the curves and clean lines. Some very clever woodwork involved. I also love the clean deck lines many sailing yachts seem very busy on deck.
Hi Nick. This 58 is very open, natural light and welcoming. Previous 48S and 2015 blue 58. All great yachts and Discovery are solid world cruiser. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊
Considering the distance this boat covered on one journey by one couple and their dog it is in remarkable condition and looks brand new. A beautiful boat that any boat lover would lust after but there are not many of us (eluding me) who can afford over one million pounds for a boat. But we can all dream
Not normally too keen on sailing yachts, but I was engrossed in this one Nick! Fantastic, and would happily cross the Atlantic on this beauty. Seems pretty good value as well.
Great sailing boat. I love the engineering space. So practical when you're taking on something big and adventurous. Lots of spaces for dry goods and gear. I love it!
I think I missed this one, wonderful yacht and I am loving seeing more and more sailing yachts on AQUAHOLIC! And I do love sitting down in the evening ready to tuck myself away with a good book; but not before watching a yacht tour! Thanks Nick!
And thank you Nick for this show of the Discovery 58 a sail boat with a Captitol A for all oceans to sail to and thank you for bringing this for us on this Friday
Absolutely enjoy all of your videos. One thing I’d like to see is the mention of Freshwater capacity and any onboard systems to “make” freshwater. I know you touched on it just briefly in the end. However I’d like to understand more about the systems capabilities.
This is amazing. I'm especially a fan of the engineering spaces and all that tooling. Really smart layout overall too. Thanks for that tour as always, Nick! It now leaves me thinking too: If a 58-footer is already this luxurious, what about sailing superyachts? 🤔 Would be nice to see you bring us aboard one someday! 😅😅
Always so grateful for these. I've always dreamed of a sailboat, but as I get older motorboats seems a better and better idea. I love the edge detail around the top of all of the woodwork. For any who want Yachting World and Yachting Monthly have more action sailing reviews, but they have their own point of view on boating and do not cover motorboats.
What a beautiful yacht, the amount of space inside that hull is very impressive, the detail built into things like the nav station & the living space are fantastic, well worth a million bucks!. 👊😉👍
It's like a used car. 1 million, is a lot. I rather try to get the best Hallberg Rassy 50, I could get for a million, Swedish built, and has many awards. It's made to the weather we have in Northern Europe. Merry Xmas
What a beautiful bluewater boat. And just so well laid out to allow it to be sailed double handed. With the bow thruster, little problem with that length manouvering in tight quarters either. I could happily see myself sailing that round the Pacific Islands. The solar panel above the davits would probably provide enough power for most day to day requirements without having to fire up the generator a lot either. Great accommodation and roomy enough for six people if required.
I think this is my favourite sailing yacht that you have done a tour of I can just dream of taking her to the Mediterranean or the Caribbean what a beautiful boat fantastic tour is always Nick 👍🇨🇦
It always disappoints me when a thumbnail indicates an action review, but Nick’s reviews never disappoint and more than makes up for it. What a fabulous yacht, I’m now stuck between a Discovery and an Oyster for my offshore fantasies.
An in-use active review is a much bigger production. Much more time, access permission, and owner buy-in needed. That said, I agree with you about getting my hopes up. Still love these walk-thru’s though!
That's a fantastic layout on a sailing yacht! Love the space dedicated to the galley. I'd like imagine if you were at sea for a few weeks, you'd get very claustrophobic in a small galley area. Thanks again for a great tour!
Small galleys are very advantageous when out on the open ocean and the boat is rocking and rolling. Having shelves and walls nearby to brace yourself against makes cooking possible in those conditions.
the engine compartment was very well laid out and the inside was perfect in every way, on top there wasn't any garage which I prefer but it's not to everyone's taste , overall thou a very nice boat
Hi Nick, I discovered Aquaholic a few weeks ago and, like so many others, I've been binge watching your videos ever since to the point where I feel I've watched almost all of them. Chancing my luck here, but would you, on a rainy winter's day, consider doing a watch collection video? I've noticed a black dial dive watch in some of your early videos; and an orange dial (Seiko?) diver when it seems like the watch might get wet; and an Omega Seamatser with a blue dial; and what looks like a Rolex GMT II Master; and in some of the more recent videos a dressy white dial chrono; not to mention your Garmins and whatnot. I reckon a watch collection video would be well received... if by no one else at least by me!
Wow 🤩 terrific tour - so much respect for the owners - the definition of ship-shape with that engine room cleaner than a lot of folks keep their fridge ! and the hanging tools - inspirational 🌠👏👏
Nick. I honestly think that you could be in the Guinness book of world records for pressing the most buttons. Can you even imagine how many you have pressed in-and-out over the years?
I do love the look and style of a proper yacht but I just have no clue what all the gear is for. So many sails, ropes and winches etc. I don't suppose you plan a short guide to "how to sail" for us noobs? Would be really interesting to see how the gear works, how tacking works etc. Another great review, Nick.
Those kind of boats don't tack.....They are just for sitting in the marina with cocktails....The sort of people that can afford them are not real sailors....They may have owned a gin palace motor cruiser before that they could drive like a car but then fancied a thingie with sails to look cooler....BUT....they don't have any qualifications, knowledge or interest in the sea or sailing....Sad really....
@@ftsetradersteve2742 Bullshit. This boat can sail very nicely. The previous owner sailed across the Atlantic and you just can't do that without raising the sails. It simply doesn't have the fuel capacity to make a 3000nm transit on engine alone. So, it can definitely sail, and according to Nick, has done so.
As far as sailing one of these modern yachts, they're pretty simple as everything is powered with rolled up sails that can be unrolled with the push of a button. Light wind sails take more effort, but when the wind is light, the seas are generally calm, so shouldn't be much of a problem deploying them. There are some excellent videos on youtube that describe what all the sailing gear is, and what it's for. Try this video: th-cam.com/video/b477nzyJum0/w-d-xo.html
Oh Nick.. this was a beautiful boat.. really makes me kick my butt for not learning how to sail back in the 70 when I had a chance.. not I am 70 and have no chance..
@@AQUAHOLIC Well my short term memory is shot full of holes like swiss cheese and that is just that part that escaped the 60's still intact.. Same with my body.. one bullet is still to close to my spine and I am to old to care.. But thanks for the encouragement Nick.. your that kinda guy and I appreciate you for it!

This is by far the best sailing yacht you've ever shown. I would go cross Atlantic in this craft anytime. Awesome vessel !!!

Thanks for watching!
I love that dolphins are so prone to playing in the bow waves, that we’ve designed accommodations for watching. Pretty cool.
Why do they not build motor yachts like this... this is by far one of the most beautiful yachts you looked at
This has to be one of my favorite sailing yachts. Very well laid out and equipped.
The ultimate explorer, long range luxury. Perfect.
Thank you for the tour. Take care. 👍👍👍🚢🛥☠⛴🛳🏴☠️🚤⛵⚓😎

You know what, I'm actually beginning to love sailing yachts now after only pining for a motor yacht for years, all thanks to Nick 😉
Stunning vessel. Very spacious, and the lighter wood helps with that too. And extremely well maintained! Great tour as always! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Your videos helps me every time to come down and relax after a busy day. Thanks a lot nick! Beautiful yacht!
Glad you like them!
Yes! Thank you for listening to my request and bringing more sailing boats to the channel

Keep up the good work man. Keep our tongues lolling. Nice Nick.
I've seen a few Discovery's now and I've got to say, I'm rather taken by them. Great use of space, quality builds and very stylish. Thanks Nick.
A lovely yacht, really nice interior and I love the owners cabin. True transatlantic travel as well. Good access to the engine as well for a change. Cheers Nick
Love the tool door. Great video
This is more nicer than I thought

I really like these deck saloon sailing vessels. Really bright and open feeling.
Wow, the interior is like a work of art. Love the curves and clean lines. Some very clever woodwork involved. I also love the clean deck lines many sailing yachts seem very busy on deck.
Do like this video, perfect layout for four people to have the greatest of summers

Full tour coming! 😃
@@AQUAHOLIC top man
Still my all-time fav sailboat. Shown on this channel is the Hallberg Rassy !!
Very good tour really enjoyed. Mr Biloxi
"because I think the inside is the most interesting bit of this yacht..."
Only a motor boater could say that :-D
Great video yet again Nick. Thanks
Absolutely enjoy all of your videos. One thing I’d like to see is the mention of Freshwater capacity and any onboard systems to “make” freshwater. I know you touched on it just briefly in the end. However I’d like to understand more about the systems capabilities.
What a fantastic, gorgeous yacht! Truly global reach! Amazing! Thanks for the tour and have a great weekend.
Thank you! You too!
Another great video. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Loving the sailboats!
Safe to say... that is the nicest layout I've ever seen on a sailboat.
Thanks a bunch for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, wonderful design. Love to head to England from Canada in that sailboat. Beautiful set up.
Great tour around a fabulous boat.
Glad you enjoyed it

Absolutely beautiful sailboat! Love the wood color. Thanks, Nick!
Yeah I really love the thought that has gone into that boat!
what a lovely sail boat..

Yes I could cope with this, just a beautiful designed boat great tour Nick
Great boat, superb tour.
Thanks Nick, have a great weekend. 🍻

Great yacht, best of British
Oh yeah! Lunch break and a new aquaholic video!
Thanks Nick!
Enjoy!
@@AQUAHOLIC great video as always! And I see that you’re getting fond of the cruising dream.
Will we get to see an Amel any time soon?
Very nice boat Nick,and I just learned a new word “dolphin seat” :) :) :)

you finding an excuse to say bimmini brightens my day.

Can you even imagine how many you have pressed in-and-out over the years?
no way mate ...my ex mother in law holds the all time record for pressing peoples buttons 🤷🏾♂️
Lovely yacht - but that teak looks thirsty! Someone give it a drink
Perfect! Love it...
Been waiting for this!
This is just amazing.
Nice yacht 👍👍👍👍👍
