@@annanadel Not really in the most likely locations where it will be used. It's a semi displacement glass house. Not a circumnavigator. In The Med, and other places, the speed to make passage in daylight hours, beats the extended range achievable on a pure displacement transatlantic passage maker. It's all about priorities.
Form over function. 62 with no real kitchen. One sofa, no settee. 600mile range. I'll stick with Absolute, azimut magellano 66, 62 Beneteau Grand Trawler, etc. still looks good though.
@MrSirlulzalot one it can't go very far. Also it wouldn't be very safe in rough seas. How long are those sliding doors going to hold up. How much cold storage does it have. 600 miles isn't much for an explorer boat. I had a 65 ft boat that could get nearly 3000 miles and it was a semi displacement boat. My friend has a 55ft boat that can get even more. No protection from waves. It's a weekend nice weather boat. Just my experience
Pretty much anywhere other than remote islands and the but coldest of higher latitudes. Almost all coasts have plenty of fuel docks within 500 miles of wherever you happen to be along them.
@@darthkek1953 where you got the 1200 miles range from _? you just doubled the 600 miles at 20 knots to 1200 miles range at 10 knots ? sure, think again
Wouldn´t you want to be able to eat inside on an "explorer" yacht, or is it just for "exploring" on warm, sunny days? Also while I do like the idea of the sliding glass doors in the salon creating an indoor / outdoor space, again, it does seem to make the space a bit tight while closed. Especially if you add in a captains chair too.
@MrAbletospeak It's a styling name. Most lobster boats these days are not set up to catch lobsters. Most sports cruisers will not win any sports events. Most trawler yachts do not trawl (for fish).
Like Nic said below, this is an unusual yacht, unlike any other I have seen, and I'm not certain whether I like it or not. In any case, this was one of the more enjoyable tours I've seen as of late because it is so different. 👍😎✌
600 mile range at 10 knots is a surprise. I do like the option of 20+ knots. I must have missed the refrigeration. I didn't see enough for an extended exploration. It is a pretty thing, though.
Brilliant tour Hugo, thank you. Quirky yacht and really not too sure what I make of it. I always think of an explorer yacht as something able to cover 1,500 miles+ and plenty of permanent inside living space. But at the same time there’s elements of this yacht I really like.
Maybe smaller engines and bigger fuel tanks would reduce max speed to around 14 knots, keep cruising speed around 9 knots and increase the range to 1,500 miles. Also it needs a bigger generator so Air Conditioning can be added. Then you can call it an explorer yacht with incredible looks.
I like this yacht, very interesting interior designing aspects to it and the functionality of exterior design is good for the size of the yacht. I thought the crew design excellent for multifunctional space and particularly thought the sinks under the bunk bed was a clever idea. Overall lovely yacht, not the best in exterior looks, but that's to be understandable based on what the designer's have tried to get on the list of features of the yacht.
Great tour. As for the boat, it's over designed in my opinion. Good enough for exploring Monaco maybe but for anything further than that I'd go for a real explorer like Bering, Nordhavn or similar.
I am.gonna tell I love the layout You have space to cook rest sit on deck and good bathrooms for work and other purpose it's great arranged . Love the way the sun deck is done aswell with the screens that go flat . I need a boat to work for UN I thought 18.5 Mr is small but I think different with this model . Looks great
First time I've see a room under the stairs on a yacht, probably would be used more for storage anyways but nice to have options. It's a decent layout for only a 62 footer, priced about right for what you get also.
'priced about right for what you get also.' I like the boat. Unless these guys are magicians, or their workforce works for free, I can't imagine them delivering anything like this, at the sort of quality the owner obviously aspires to, for 1.5million pounds (Tons of marble and a carbon superstructure...... Sounds more like a Wally/Riva cooperation, than anything aimed at "right price" shoppers). I would not want to be the first guy putting down a deposit, unless I had quite some slack in the budget... I hope I'm proven wrong. But seeing what you get for
That’ll do for me, very quirky which I like but stylish at the same time. What is the certification class of the explorer? Try and do a test later on in the year.
I 100% agree with the gyro + fin + trim tabs, since each ahs their pluses and minuses. Also, same with the dual anchor setup. Not a huge fan of the complete openness, but I get the concept.
It's extremely elegant. Not something to go hard, get dirty and ply really rough seas. The hull might take it, but I never would. Basically a family boat , owner operator. It'll look better than any vessel wherever you drop anchor. It's got to be sunny-med weather. Not icy w/ 10 foot seas 😂
Without any irony... "look at the height of these bulwarks, really protective at waist height" ... just as it lowers to knee height for 5 feet. Rolling seas anyone?
Agreed. I wouldn't be planning on plowing through any icebergs with this boat, but I love the design in the small footprint for no crew needed to operate. However, although the size and design is beautiful, I find the layout lacking.
Superyacht Captain did a review of pne of these, or maybe this one and they had the owner's son who really annoyed me to no end. He was a little too excited for his yacht and went on and on about the systems and design. But to me, this is just a catamaran with stabilizers. It's wide open, like a catamaran or something from Bluegame. I also question it's explorer credentials given the range. Maybe they improved it in thus one, but the other one was 650 NM. That's not a whole lot of exploring. I'd rather take a Bering or Nordhavn or Fleming...
Exotic .This could be strong competitor in its class against galeon absolute fairline azimut ferretti sunseeker princess pearl etc.. 50~60fter 1.5~2.5mil range yacht
Love the styling and the unique features like the opening saloon and the galley mixed with the helm. The company name may be misleading but I'm finding very little wrong with the design or the layout! Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for the great presentation! An explorer so tough, that I wonder how the hard top and its mechanism would hold even only 20cm wet snow - a common situation, for a so-called explorer, isn't it? Allowing also little protection against rain, wind, the boat seems to be better suited to "explore"... Summer sunsets in the Med.
An excellent tour, thanks Hugo. Ok it’s subjective but to be honest in my view this is a pretty odd boat. What’s that saloon all about, it’d be like sitting in a corridor, galley right up by the helm, curious dining area and to cap it all three stabilisers 😳
I love the view from the helm, but can you imagine being in there while your wife is cooking next to you and you're "getting in the way" by doing such a menial task such as piloting a 62' boat. The whole saloon looks like an afterthought. You should be able to entertain all your guests inside and outside on a boat of that size, it would be a pretty miserable place in that saloon during bad weather. And don't even get me started on the state that glass sink is going to be in after one use ;-)
I’m going to break away from the video at this point so that I can look up a Williams 345 in order to know the max length for a boat to fit in the Tender garage. If only there was a way to get that information on to the video in the first place. I’m back: It’s eleven feet, which is tiny but perfect if Mr. Bean owns the yacht. These tender garages really need to fit a 14’ Tender with outboard motor, or just provide a boat deck and davit.
One thing that is correctly said is that this is a display boat. Having 3 different types of making the boat more stable is a bit over the top even though a new programmed software was built for it to make all of the 3 to work together "seemingly". Another thing to point out is all the parts you can lift up and down, to make a more easily quick configurations, but it also makes me wonder how durable is it in the length. A floating home it might be, but then it comes with the price to stay still all the time to make sure nothing breaks. Anyway would I recommend this "boat" as a good investment?.....No..and I fairly say so because of my experience as a seaman. It looks nice as showoff near a dock.. but not as a practical boat to use for what it is was meant to be....
Why wouldn't they make the windscreen wipers lay horizontally? After working so hard to get an unobstructed view, it's ruined by having to look at wipers
I'm loving the design fit and finish of this boat, gorgeous and if they could somehow get at least 1000nm range it would be perfect in my mind. Imagine taking this up to the fjords like John did in his V39, wow that'd be awesome. When you sea trial one (👃👃) I'll be expecting you to try out the fly bridge in your dancing shoes 🤪. Cheers Hugo, great tour. 👍❤️🇬🇧
@@cookiemonster2299 OK but that boat is a _passagemaker._ And passagemakers are wonderful in their own right, both as transport and to enjoy as themselves, but they are entirely different architectures and design requirements to this. Suggestions in this forum are including changing the hull to displacement. Changing the engines to small HP shaft. In turn that would require a fundamental redesign of the transom, all windows, etc. And we don't stop there. Extending range and lowering speed means more time inside, including more time forced inside in inclement weather. So literally everything gets changed internally too. The sheer ego of it all. Post after post after post of it. I'd say nobody but not quite, but close to nobody, has bothered to try to judge the boat on it's actual design and intended use. (I just removed several f-bombs from the sentence and somewhat regret it.) I mean if people don't _want_ to use a boat for its intended use, if that style of use doesn't appeal, OK. But they're criticising the fact the boat exists in that niche instead of being an entirely different build that they can't afford either. Let's make the case for this. You & the family live on the Med coast, Florida, etc. are out for a holiday for a couple of weeks. You fill the tanks and you head off. As a holiday you won't want to do too many hours a day passagemaking, certainly not for days on end, you'll be enjoying the places you stop by be it anchorage or berth, along the way. So basically you won't need to refuel during your holiday. Most family holiday yachts top out at 350 miles. If a yacht like that has to refuel once, or twice, you avoided that. That's all. It's not a deal-breaker but it's good. But far more importantly it opens "hops" not previously available, or available with a ballache. For an example to contextualise, can now go from Sardinia to Malta directly without a big detour to Scilly to refuel. Balearics to Scilly DIRECTLY. And if those examples don't interest you it doesn't matter. John on a trip had a ballache of phoning a farmer for diesel because he ran out. Three times the legs is a BIG jump forward looking for a port. If you could tell any experienced Caribbean standard motoyacht captain their "hop" range has gone from 300 miles to 1000 they'd be _very_ happy. And that's the passagemaking of it. The real point of the yacht is, having gotten to wherever it is, you anchor up and get the drinks out. The "but I cannot cross the Atlantic in it therefore I cannot conceive as to why it might exist" crowd... you provoked this. #OverAndOut
Aspects that I loved such as the safety and the bedrooms are brilliant, truly inspirational, however an "Explorer" with only a 600 mile range is not going to explore very far. The fly bridge stairs are an absolute deal breaker. Then potentially 7 berths but only a dinning table for 6 ? The enclosed lounge is not exactly social the TV cabinet means ones guest have to sit beside you not opposite that's not exactly conducive to polite conversation without getting neck-ache . And I actually like a traditional tender Garage door which if sun loungers etc are available acts as a (hopefully) Sunshade.
To make it a true explorer, it should have been a full displacement hull, shaft drive, bigger tanks and less powerful engines. Does anyone actually make a vessel that combines trawler range but the kind if style this has??
It has the same problem ALL Euro boats have, no where near enough fuel. That would barely make it from Sydney to Melbourne let alone crossing the ditch to NZ. It's for the Med puddle.
Man, tough audience Hugo lol. 600 miles is plenty of range. It’s a 62’. That’s not going to Greenland. There’s these new things called Marina’s - it would be great to travel to a Med/Baltic (filling up at those marina things) trip
IF you somehow managed to heat the interior of that glass house to something livable in Greenland: Those big, single pane windows would crack from thermal stress....... While all that plumbing for wet bars etc. high up above the only thing frost moderating, which is the ocean;, would freeze and crack..... Pretty much the only places left anymore, which are inhospitable enough to not have coastal populations supporting fuel docks closer spaced than 500 miles, are exactly such butt cold places. Where boats like this, all make a cold, hard, zero sense from the getgo. In most other places, many people would prefer the ability to wick it up to 20 knots on more realistic, occasional shorter passages. Even if that means not having a weight allowance allowing for bunkering fuel like a transoceanic supertanker.
It happens when you do not name thigs right. Maybe ifyou call it a "coastal exploring luxury yacht" it would fit the right crowd preferences. If you are looking to buy an explorer yacht, you would skip this one.
First of all this yacht is amazing! It takes God stuff to a whole new level. I can't believe you can fit so much. And the surfboards! A huge wow! Its a true " say no more". We all need one. God bless you and way to go in hitting a home run for Christ! 😇⭐🖤🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡!
I really like the design & styling of this but the 600 mile range is pretty limiting for something claiming to be an exploring yacht. It seems more like a boat to do some island hoping in the caribbean or cruising around the mediterranean. I think most of the time it will serve as a classy houseboat.
It looks like a trawler without the abilities. You couldn't leave Genoa and decide to go to London, or Toronto, non-stop. It a Med Cruiser like a Princess or a Azimut but dressed differently. I've heard wonderful things on the quality and I like the styling, but I'm ambivalent about it. But then the Swift Trawlers have all the same issues. They're not long distance open ocean boats but I like those too. I could see this in the Caribbean but not the Great Lakes.
Correct, there are different boats for those activities. But Princess & Azimut, aside from costing a lot more, have a lot less range. But yes it's a Med/Caribbean explorer, not a globetrotter.
As long as you're sitting a bit out from the mainlands, and under a roof protecting you from the direct sun, the breeze is really pleasant. All those superyacht charterers aren't paying a million a week to be cooked alive.... I could absolutely see this boat work well in Ibiza/Formentera. Stabilisation and reliable ground tackle, are a big thing with the quickly changing wind directions and few truly protected anchorages which weren't already overcrowded by 1970....
It's funny there's no video's of the crash test, I've made a crash proof shopping trolley tested with a speed of 1000mph into a sponge oh but i have no video of it so just take my word for it :)
let me go ahead and stop you if your "explorer" does not explore in excess of 2000 nautical miles you do not have an explorer yacht. you might have some neat tricks and features, but it is not an explorer yacht.
I'll be honest I'm not sure about this boat. The decor in the salon is nice. I can see what the owner wanted but for me it's not quite working. But the quality of the work is good, plus I like the helm and kitchen together makes sense. Is 600 nautical miles a long distance boat I was expecting much more than that. But interesting, I'm hoping you go onto review another one to compare them. See what maybe the manufacturer or another owner would plan.
I would say this one is a Marmite boat, love it or hate it and nothing in between. Sorry to say it's one of the ugliest and least practical boats I've ever seen.
I like the idea of placing the main body more forward (reducing bow area), however what they gained is wasted with such a large cockpit. Extending the salon would have been better, and placing the galley next to the helm is ridiculous (personal taste of course). Storing the tender inside is just torturing anyone who has to service the engineering room. I don't think it's very owner operator friendly for that reason alone. So it's slick, and they spent some time on their logo. My impression is this is the kind of boat you see going out with dancing cellulose laden ladies booming tacky music. But that's just me.
in the salon you are looking "straight at" a sideboard unit ?????? - there'l' be no room in the galley once the captains chair is installed - i hate toilets and showers in the "same space", you get your feet wet every time you go to the loo - and the 4th cabin is just NOT A CABIN - anyway, if you want to see how to use the space properly in a 60+ft boat look at the Absolute Nevetta 64
The interior seating set up isn't very social. It's all in a row with nothing opposing the straight sofa. And if the view is to starboard then no one enjoys it.
C'mon Hugo, you know you wanted to try and cram 2 people into the shower. Remind you of the SAS days locking out of a sub in full kit ready to swim out and take down a freighter carrying illegal arms from North Korea. You could c,ear this yacht with a Glock 17 or a B&T MP9. MP5 would be too big.
Wonderful use of new innovation & designs. Where this yacht lost me: IPS, no real cockpit on the water for users outside of the Med (fishing, diving, seating closer to water level). Then the layout of the galley which is probably changeable, plus too many sharp edges & corners. No easily accessible dayhead. The greatest negatives are that stairway to the flying bridge. Too steep, not safe underway in a big sea, too exposed, & the lower helm is not at all suitable for passage-making. Just my thoughts.
the fact that this boat won "best design" in 2021 says everything you need to know about 2021. great tour anyways hugo, thanks!

@@annanadel I think the explorer thingie has more to do more with it's design than it's actual capabilities

Why so?
@MrSirlulzalot one it can't go very far. Also it wouldn't be very safe in rough seas. How long are those sliding doors going to hold up. How much cold storage does it have. 600 miles isn't much for an explorer boat. I had a 65 ft boat that could get nearly 3000 miles and it was a semi displacement boat. My friend has a 55ft boat that can get even more. No protection from waves. It's a weekend nice weather boat. Just my experience

Agree and i think FPB 64 is an Explorer Yacht
600 mile range at 10 knots, this isn’t an explorer yacht by any stretch of the imagination. If it had a range of 3,000+ miles, then maybe.
What are you exploring with a 600 NM range? The Florida ICW?

Why wouldn't they make the windscreen wipers lay horizontally? After working so hard to get an unobstructed view, it's ruined by having to look at wipers
I'm loving the design fit and finish of this boat, gorgeous and if they could somehow get at least 1000nm range it would be perfect in my mind.
Imagine taking this up to the fjords like John did in his V39, wow that'd be awesome.
When you sea trial one (👃👃) I'll be expecting you to try out the fly bridge in your dancing shoes 🤪.
Cheers Hugo, great tour. 👍❤️🇬🇧
John's V39 does not have a 1000 mile range, why does this need one?
@@darthkek1953 so ya don't have to keep refueling every time ya stop, like John did. 🤪👍❤️🇬🇧
@@cookiemonster2299 OK but that boat is a _passagemaker._ And passagemakers are wonderful in their own right, both as transport and to enjoy as themselves, but they are entirely different architectures and design requirements to this. Suggestions in this forum are including changing the hull to displacement. Changing the engines to small HP shaft. In turn that would require a fundamental redesign of the transom, all windows, etc. And we don't stop there. Extending range and lowering speed means more time inside, including more time forced inside in inclement weather. So literally everything gets changed internally too.
The sheer ego of it all. Post after post after post of it.
I'd say nobody but not quite, but close to nobody, has bothered to try to judge the boat on it's actual design and intended use. (I just removed several f-bombs from the sentence and somewhat regret it.) I mean if people don't _want_ to use a boat for its intended use, if that style of use doesn't appeal, OK. But they're criticising the fact the boat exists in that niche instead of being an entirely different build that they can't afford either.
Let's make the case for this. You & the family live on the Med coast, Florida, etc. are out for a holiday for a couple of weeks. You fill the tanks and you head off. As a holiday you won't want to do too many hours a day passagemaking, certainly not for days on end, you'll be enjoying the places you stop by be it anchorage or berth, along the way.
So basically you won't need to refuel during your holiday. Most family holiday yachts top out at 350 miles. If a yacht like that has to refuel once, or twice, you avoided that. That's all. It's not a deal-breaker but it's good.
But far more importantly it opens "hops" not previously available, or available with a ballache. For an example to contextualise, can now go from Sardinia to Malta directly without a big detour to Scilly to refuel. Balearics to Scilly DIRECTLY. And if those examples don't interest you it doesn't matter. John on a trip had a ballache of phoning a farmer for diesel because he ran out. Three times the legs is a BIG jump forward looking for a port. If you could tell any experienced Caribbean standard motoyacht captain their "hop" range has gone from 300 miles to 1000 they'd be _very_ happy.
And that's the passagemaking of it. The real point of the yacht is, having gotten to wherever it is, you anchor up and get the drinks out.
The "but I cannot cross the Atlantic in it therefore I cannot conceive as to why it might exist" crowd... you provoked this.
#OverAndOut
@@darthkek1953 you forgot something, in my daydream this boat is capable of 1000nm 😂🤣😂
Aspects that I loved such as the safety and the bedrooms are brilliant, truly inspirational, however an "Explorer" with only a 600 mile range is not going to explore very far. The fly bridge stairs are an absolute deal breaker. Then potentially 7 berths but only a dinning table for 6 ? The enclosed lounge is not exactly social the TV cabinet means ones guest have to sit beside you not opposite that's not exactly conducive to polite conversation without getting neck-ache . And I actually like a traditional tender Garage door which if sun loungers etc are available acts as a (hopefully) Sunshade.
Yes, you are absolutely right. I didn't expect to meet you here, how are you doing?
Where is the crash video?🤨
To make it a true explorer, it should have been a full displacement hull, shaft drive, bigger tanks and less powerful engines.
Does anyone actually make a vessel that combines trawler range but the kind if style this has??
Bering 60 or Beneteau trawler 62... cheaper and better
@ANDY VAN KERKHOVE not sure the beneteau would have the range. Personally I'd say you need at least 2500 miles to truly be an explorer yacht.
It has the same problem ALL Euro boats have, no where near enough fuel. That would barely make it from Sydney to Melbourne let alone crossing the ditch to NZ. It's for the Med puddle.
It is for cruising between Naples to Monaco making lots of refueling stops.
Interesting boat for sure ...
Yes, you are absolutely right. I didn't expect to meet you here, how are you doing?
Weirdest layout of a yacht I’ve ever seen. Certainly no where near an explorer yacht.
its just the name to impress
У неё даже логотип компании вызывает вопросы.
Nice walk through, but I think the designers are Star Trek fans! This is probably the most non functional explorer yacht I’ve ever seen!
A city synonymous with yachting 😅
Yes I lived in NRW.
Man, tough audience Hugo lol. 600 miles is plenty of range. It’s a 62’. That’s not going to Greenland.
There’s these new things called Marina’s - it would be great to travel to a Med/Baltic (filling up at those marina things) trip
IF you somehow managed to heat the interior of that glass house to something livable in Greenland: Those big, single pane windows would crack from thermal stress.......
While all that plumbing for wet bars etc. high up above the only thing frost moderating, which is the ocean;, would freeze and crack.....
Pretty much the only places left anymore, which are inhospitable enough to not have coastal populations supporting fuel docks closer spaced than 500 miles, are exactly such butt cold places. Where boats like this, all make a cold, hard, zero sense from the getgo.
In most other places, many people would prefer the ability to wick it up to 20 knots on more realistic, occasional shorter passages. Even if that means not having a weight allowance allowing for bunkering fuel like a transoceanic supertanker.
It happens when you do not name thigs right. Maybe ifyou call it a "coastal exploring luxury yacht" it would fit the right crowd preferences. If you are looking to buy an explorer yacht, you would skip this one.
Not sure how durable the interior would be with a lot of use. Like the layout and the forward helm station.
First of all this yacht is amazing! It takes God stuff to a whole new level. I can't believe you can fit so much. And the surfboards! A huge wow! Its a true " say no more". We all need one. God bless you and way to go in hitting a home run for Christ! 😇⭐🖤🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡!
I really like the design & styling of this but the 600 mile range is pretty limiting for something claiming to be an exploring yacht. It seems more like a boat to do some island hoping in the caribbean or cruising around the mediterranean. I think most of the time it will serve as a classy houseboat.
It looks like a trawler without the abilities. You couldn't leave Genoa and decide to go to London, or Toronto, non-stop. It a Med Cruiser like a Princess or a Azimut but dressed differently. I've heard wonderful things on the quality and I like the styling, but I'm ambivalent about it. But then the Swift Trawlers have all the same issues. They're not long distance open ocean boats but I like those too. I could see this in the Caribbean but not the Great Lakes.
Correct, there are different boats for those activities. But Princess & Azimut, aside from costing a lot more, have a lot less range. But yes it's a Med/Caribbean explorer, not a globetrotter.
just another design of any 62 ft yacht on the market... nothing more....
A Caribbean explorer if you ship it in a cargo ship there. It would still be a short range interisland explorer.
Owner slept 14 days in that child bunk… ok lol
Love the decking not teak for once
The minute you say Volvo IPs serious explorer flies out the window.
Interesting concept. But too open for y taste. The Med is so hot in summer that I dont want to sit outside with 45 degree
yep... so explore Alaska
As long as you're sitting a bit out from the mainlands, and under a roof protecting you from the direct sun, the breeze is really pleasant. All those superyacht charterers aren't paying a million a week to be cooked alive....
I could absolutely see this boat work well in Ibiza/Formentera. Stabilisation and reliable ground tackle, are a big thing with the quickly changing wind directions and few truly protected anchorages which weren't already overcrowded by 1970....
It's funny there's no video's of the crash test, I've made a crash proof shopping trolley tested with a speed of 1000mph into a sponge oh but i have no video of it so just take my word for it :)
2600Liters is 687gal we will say 700 at at $4.30 a gal in Miami that's 3grand a tank that can get you to Myrtle Beach...
Yep...Bed for extra child is good addition to the beds for regular children.
I hate it, too modern, it's all show, no blow
62ft boat and and absolutely tiny inside...alot of wasted space
Amazing if they have an all electric version.
How did they get this boat to 80 knots to crash it, I would believe 8 knots crash test that is very realistic
18 knots.
use subtitles.... 18 knots....
If I had the money this would be the one i bought
Looks like a Boaty MacBoatface cartoon
lol...it does
600 nautical miles range?? wtf this isnt an explorer at all! maybe explore one mediteranian yacht club after the other lol
600 mile range is not very impressive for an explorer yacht when a comparable Bering 65 has a 4000+ nm range....
let me go ahead and stop you if your "explorer" does not explore in excess of 2000 nautical miles you do not have an explorer yacht. you might have some neat tricks and features, but it is not an explorer yacht.
correct... explore your marina
I love everything about it, however the range of this vessel is limited. This is a huge downside.
I'll be honest I'm not sure about this boat. The decor in the salon is nice. I can see what the owner wanted but for me it's not quite working. But the quality of the work is good, plus I like the helm and kitchen together makes sense.
Is 600 nautical miles a long distance boat I was expecting much more than that. But interesting, I'm hoping you go onto review another one to compare them. See what maybe the manufacturer or another owner would plan.
I would say this one is a Marmite boat, love it or hate it and nothing in between. Sorry to say it's one of the ugliest and least practical boats I've ever seen.
Looks lovely, but why do the sofas on these boats look soooo uncomfortable? Doesn't look like you could sit there and enjoy a movie at night .
General Grievous’s private yacht 😂
Very expensive weekender 👌
Great video, but these videos (e.g. this and aquaholic) really need wide angle lenses.
600 miles are we exploring a lake
I can't think of many yacht reviews that I've disliked quite so much. Not the reviewer, but the yacht itself. Horrible.
Yes, you are absolutely right. I didn't expect to meet you here, how are you doing?
I like the idea of placing the main body more forward (reducing bow area), however what they gained is wasted with such a large cockpit. Extending the salon would have been better, and placing the galley next to the helm is ridiculous (personal taste of course). Storing the tender inside is just torturing anyone who has to service the engineering room. I don't think it's very owner operator friendly for that reason alone. So it's slick, and they spent some time on their logo. My impression is this is the kind of boat you see going out with dancing cellulose laden ladies booming tacky music. But that's just me.
A very controversial decision
Horrible layout, nothing like a house, seriously disjointed design, I guess having money doesn't mean they have sense.
in the salon you are looking "straight at" a sideboard unit ?????? - there'l' be no room in the galley once the captains chair is installed - i hate toilets and showers in the "same space", you get your feet wet every time you go to the loo - and the 4th cabin is just NOT A CABIN - anyway, if you want to see how to use the space properly in a 60+ft boat look at the Absolute Nevetta 64
The interior seating set up isn't very social. It's all in a row with nothing opposing the straight sofa. And if the view is to starboard then no one enjoys it.
C'mon Hugo, you know you wanted to try and cram 2 people into the shower. Remind you of the SAS days locking out of a sub in full kit ready to swim out and take down a freighter carrying illegal arms from North Korea. You could c,ear this yacht with a Glock 17 or a B&T MP9. MP5 would be too big.
Wonderful use of new innovation & designs. Where this yacht lost me: IPS, no real cockpit on the water for users outside of the Med (fishing, diving, seating closer to water level). Then the layout of the galley which is probably changeable, plus too many sharp edges & corners. No easily accessible dayhead.
The greatest negatives are that stairway to the flying bridge. Too steep, not safe underway in a big sea, too exposed, & the lower helm is not at all suitable for passage-making.
Just my thoughts.
