That is the real beauty and the beast. I love the lines and style of that ship. Money well spent. I thank the owner for seeing the beauty in that incredible ship.
🙌
John, I am so looking forward to following the story of this trawler conversion. She's a diamond in the rough now but with such incredible potential in the hands of a highly capable shipyard. To answer your question, a big YES to riding in the Foremast! WooHoo!
🫡😂🙌
Out of the many superyachts, expedition vessels and more, this has to be one of my favorite builds.
I would name this Masterpiece
"MAGNIFICENCE" !
Great name! 🙌
WOW. Very cool. This particular trawler will be exceptional when refurbishing is completed. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Awesome I would love to have it myself The one change I would do is those sidesteps that’s the one thing to me it just doesn’t look like it’s supposed to be there probably really functional though getting on and off
Absolutely love this vessel I have been following her progress for many years now after she came to my notice via hoekman maritiem, ship brokers in Holland who used her as an example of what can be achieved in converting a dutch beam trawler to a luxury yacht. in answer to a previous comment re the strength of the side hull and deck after inserting the access stairs to the water line, the photos that i saw showed incredible thickness of the hull and strengthening plates plus Maaskant shipyard would NOT allow their name be associated with any conversion without their engineers verifying and rubber stamping any modifications, note to owner PLEASE show us photos and videos of the conversion, removal and replacement of the 9 cyl engine = major project. fantastic work keep it up.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching 🫡🙌
Wow, this one is gonna be a monster, I can't wait to see your follow-up vid, thanks for what you're doing! I'll stay tuned!
Thanks for watching and for the comment 🫡 I appreciate 🙌
She,s stunning . Hope she comes down to Australia.
🫡🇦🇺
Stunning vessel and workmanship, thank you for showing us it and for the owners for showing us it, mind blowing spec. and engineeting. Loved it.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
This will be an amazing yacht when it is done! Thanks for sharing!👍👍
Thanks for watching 🫡
@@YachtBuoy 👍👍
John, I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure she will be spectacular!
💯%
I have to agree. this is a yacht that you must come back to. It will be interesting to see what she will look like completed. Thank you for another good video.
Thanks! I appreciate it 🫡
A lovely reuse of an old trawler it's beautiful
🙌🫡
Awesome project thanks for sharing I absolutely love this yacht
Thanks for watching 🙌
What an incredible history. And now a future awaits which will bring many memories to those fortunate enough to board what is going to be an amazing vessel. Thank you!
Thanks for watching 🙌🫡
I was wondering if you were going to comment on here. You know, me and you plus that other guy are the pre-eminent commentary leaders for Yachttube. I was invited by Denison last year for FLIBS to come down and get the VIP experience. It was a lot of fun. Of course my comments sometime stray into the troll, or rant space so I got noticed more, but one of the things they had asked me was about other commentors that I knew of. Obviously you, Darth KEK and the guy that just says 'Lekker man Lekker' (Sebastian something) came to mind. They had mentioned that they might want to get other superfans to come to the shows and they could get them on the boats. I don't know if it will happen again. The original plan with me fell apart pretty bad a couple days before but I still got to go. I just didn't get all the time I was promised. So if they do it again and they reach out to me, I will put your name forward as someone to talk to. KEK can be a little 'prickly' sometimes and these were super chill people. I got to meet Victoria and Rico plus Alexei. All the Denison reps. Almost met Nick and Marrianne and David Seals. Tony from Yacht Addiction didn't read my IG post in time to come hang out and Tristan was shooting something with David that we later learned was the Lionshare video and Jared Watney plus Chef Dean were shooting their own video for a charter yacht. So I missed a lot of people. But saw cool yachts, did my own walk through video on a Sunseeker Predator 60, 'broke' a one of a kind Rolls-Royce (not really, I knew what I was doing), met the Denison media team and interviewed Bob Denison. It was cool. So we'll see what they do this year, if anything and if they want a new person, you'll be the top person I tell them. No promises, but we'll see how it goes.
That foremast would be a great place to experience the motion of the ocean. This will be a beautiful vessel to charter. Thanks John for this early look.
Thanks for watching 🫡🙌
Thank you it a amazing reinventing of a trawler into a spectacular cruising superyatch
I think I'd live on board, what a boat
I like forward to seeing the finished product 😊. Thank you
Pretty Sharp ! I like the Unusuall transformation of utilizing this Vessel along with having a well sorted Hull that has been tested and proven in many conditions another Plus is that Crews Quaters Feature IMO a Happy Crew is a good one being in that location with Exterior Decks and NaturalLight in the Cabins will help keep Spirits up on long Journeys often Crews get the least desireable areas onboard and Owners and V.I.P. get the others having a larger area. with the majority being in the same luxurious area is great for Morale ,TeamWork , and Happier times that’s important if the intentions are to use her as a Recreation Vessel by the Owners if you use Cruise Ships as part of a Example most Employees of those Companies don’t like their jobs because of poor living Conditions the Companies provide it’s Ironic because that’s the opposite of what most people think they are but the Internet has allowed those secrets to be told and shown She would be more Stunning if the Pilot House and Above Deck Superstructures could be Painted in a Gloss White with a few areas of Brightwork as Accents perhaps Window Trims Handrails , Stair treads , whatever i’m a Traditionalist on how boats should look i know it’s extra work and Costs and i’ve Owned All Wood Construction that all you do is Varnish
If you love explorer trawler m/v you just have to love this beauty
Nice work
Thanks! 🫡
The video is very nice but the boat left me wanting.
Great Videos
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Just come across your channel in the last few weeks, and I have to say it's spot on 😊
Thanks! I really appreciate it 🫡
So friggin badass!!! Great as always my buoy!
Thanks! 🙌🫡
Thanks for another great video. It has been really great to watch your channel grow over the years. I really hope it keeps growing and I wish you all the very best.
Thanks! 🫡 I appreciate it 🙌
Wow you are a very lucky bouy... favorite type of vessel..Very nice.
🫡🙌
What a utalitarian vessel, ready to go anywhere you want 👍
I'm too old and too disabled to be crew and too poor to be an owner. All I can do is watch your vids, click the thumbs up three times, and dream of sitting at the top of that mast and enjoying a cigar. (LOL. Backwards bicycles at 15:17).
🫡🙌 Thanks for watching and for the 👍
OUTSTANDING!
🙌
I love yachts like that they're amazing far nicer than the massive mega yachts
🫡
I can't wait to see her after her refit 😁👍
Me too! 🙌
The side entry steps is such a cool feature
Looks like a safe vessel that can take anything nature could throw at it.
Hold my beer 😅
@@mikered2131 I wish somebody would start converting decommissioned Ticonderoga-class cruisers into yachts with those boxy bridges.
I mean they have their own helicopter hangers built in... so lots of space for activities.
Even if you're not into helicopters you could use the hanger for a basketball court or something
Yes!
🙌
Cutting the hull to add those stairs leading down to the water line will definitely weaken the hull in a critical area. I hope it doesn’t end up being a subject for one of disaster channels in the future. But I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time
That was my thought.
I had wondered about this
It’s definitely the weak side in a storm
maybe theres a lot of metal left under the waterline.
@@frankcherry3810 Or a hard grounding.
I'm sure they reinforced the hull.
Can not wait to see her finished and would love to climbto the crows nest.But maybe not in big waves.
🫡🙌🌊
Thanks from İstanbul
John, at the time that you shot this video was the estimated refit time for completion and survey. I am guessing approximately two years?
She is due to start sea trials in Sept this year! 🫡🙌
@@YachtBuoy that's damned fast considering what video you took. I would have expected it to be a lot longer.
Wouldn't the narrow part in the middle compromise it's strength in rough seas? If they go into pirate waters, that's easy boarding as well. Not to mention huge seas washing Up onto the deck all the time.
Awesome🎉❤❤
🙌🫡
I’ve been on her what a project it will be a fantastic ocean explorer when she’s finished. It’s a shame that the industry has cut up dozens of ships just like are in the last three months
I wouldn't have put those side steps in it ruins the flow of the design
Speed Mac and cruise?
Quite content to stick to dry land thanks. Reason . Not happy with access for boarding on to or off ship , think it would prove to be a hazard in heavy seas .
Is this yacht or any of the others you feature on your channel wheelchair accessible?
Hi - I can certainly help you to find one. My email address is john@yacht-buoy.com
Looks like a dream. I'm guessing the owners are slightly 'older' given the lack of some other water toys and the layout. That screams, 'I brought it, just be happy you're aboard!' Lol. I would be the exact same way. You don't like it...bye! I would have this laid out similar but there would be things I want that aren't on here.
I am now in the Med watching luxury yachts costing fortunes and wondering how rich people can spend so much money on yachts that arent seaworthy and have to stay in when its blowing. Fishermen always went out, no matter the weather, to make a living.
Give me one of these professional vessels and yes why not anchoring out in the mistral during the Voiles de St Tropez.
Btw, there are some beautifull converted trawlers for sale in Holland. ( ex kotter UK 61 te koop ) Cheers.

They’ll never erase those hot commercial welds and the wavy steel plate around them.
If it only had a small sub and a Willy jeep on bourd
Any clue as to why the foremast was kept?
Should be good for 8 to 10,000 nm once complete she's a little narrow in my opinion the new owners will most likely add stabilizers
she is much wider than appears in the video. Her keel is also so profound that stabilisers won’t be needed. She is as solid and as stable as they come 🙌
@@YachtBuoy thankyou for the heads up 👍🏼
@@thom5255 🙌🏻🫡
I do not like heights, but I would climb up there at least once.
🙌🫡
keep us update
🫡
Workmanship leaves a little bit to be desired! Or isn’t it finished yet? 🇬🇧🏴
There’s still another five months of the build left to go. She will look spectacular 🫡
Wow, a wonderful vessel. It's would be a great place to live; make a home on the seas. The only thing it lacks is a swim platform to give old fat guys easy access into the water and back onboard. 1 or both of side entries could be adapted to put a swim stair (old fat guys don't like ladders). There is luckily load of places such a stair could be stored when not in use.
engine room?
I couldn’t get access as it was a hive of engineering activity. I will be heading back in a few months
for the dutch fishing fleet it's either conversion or scrapyard with the european union rules.
seems only the french are allowed to fish as their politicians are afraid of the protests
When this project will born, we can call it Capricorn,
How much does a luxury conversion of an old fishing trwaler, that is on top of the purchase of this old fishing trawler?
Especially if a new hybrid diesel electric propulsion system, with rechargeable battery packs and solar panels or wind turbines maybe too?
Also similarly if a state of art electronic navigation and communication, as well as advanced underwater and above water sensors plus propulsion systems too.
This conversion must be as costly, as buying a similar sized new built trawler luxury yacht, when you have to remove so much of the original fishing trawler to start with?
Need an assistant engineer unlimited?
👍💯
I don’t get why any boat owners would cut those steps to the waterline? It seems like a bad idea from an engineering standpoint but also the loss of deck space is huge!
The owner can use both the port and starboard side for tender access meaning that the tender can be used on the leeward side during windy conditions.
I’m thinking that with all the other spaces the loss of space in that area would not be that much of a concern as to engineering im sure the bulkheads where strengthened the company doing the work has a good reputation for not doing cut and hack work and doing charters she will have to go and pass recertification and stability tests
the battery pack will sink her.. probably by design no utility left and they could have bought a built out boat at 1/10th the cost, but these projects easily can incorporate 'kick-pack' and 'slush' costs..
I don't like the stairs on the sides.
Crew cabin an 18 wheeler bunk in better.
Not many places for any toy’s etc
