Nick I’ve been watching for a while now but just wanna say it’s so refreshing to see videos of boats with no editing and no obnoxious music, just a genuine person with a genuine interest making funny videos with the jokes left in whilst being educational at the same time. Thank you.
@@AQUAHOLIC Not only kind but more importantly he's RIGHT. One could watch any of your videos and not only be entertained but well informed too no matter what level of boater he/she is. Of course this leads to some repetition like the famous 'little ship feelnig', the 'proverbial good book' or the mirror-waves, but those things are funny. To make it clear: I do not want to 'brownnose' you, I don't know you, there's nothing in it for me, but from time to time praise has to be heaped upon persons... 👍
I’ve never been on a yacht. Never considered owning one. But ever since the TH-cam algorithm recommended an Aquaholics video I must have watched in excess of 50 yacht tours and owning one now features prominently in my lotto dream wish list. Great content for people of all budgets (and none), maybe one day.
Golly that boat is cavernous on the inside! Raising the helm to that ‘mid flybridge’ position allows for a huge uninterrupted saloon while still giving a more than adequate cockpit. This ticks a LOT of boxes, great find Nick, spot on! 😃👋🏻
I know we keep on saying that, but I cannot shake the feeling, that this would make a great retirement get-out-and-stay-out boat for Marianne and you. You can post a video once a week, first tour the UK, then go across to France and into the rivers down to the med. Must get back to work and stop dreaming. Thank you for the coffee break.
Another great video. These aft cabin layouts like the Dale Nelson and the Aquastar are super practical. I love the trademark, "This is... pauses to open and make sure... storage." That's become a bit of a catch phrase in our house.
I was not expecting that 3rd cabin. Looks to be a really nice boat with good use of space and plenty of amenities. As you suggested Nick, looks ideal for the grey nomads to spend some time on her and enjoy her. Indeed would suit more than just the grey nomads.
Brooms build quality really is something else! More of a gentlemans cruiser. They seem much happier taking it chill than going flat out. Makes me miss my Dads Broom 50. Even for a 2001 model it looked modern! Think it had a pair of 660bhp Caterpillars...29 knots with a clean hull. Quite surprising for such a big boat.
This boat was my grandfathers, so it’s great to see it again because I’ve got some great memories of it! Also great to see some people applauding the ownership of it, he did take great care of it 😆
Your vids re-introduced me more into boats&yachts (didn’t think if it much beforehand) and now I’m a born-again boating lover. -I’m from NorthAmerica & Nicks tours are simply the best, no others can compare!
Nick your a great presenter & I enjoy watching your videos , after a long day at work. Your very informative & knowledgable person. I find it relaxing just watching your tours. Never been interested in boats until I discovered your channel . I’m a motorhomer & now a boat enthusiast.thank to you. If you ever get time , would you do Torquay harbour tour of the boats in dock . Lovely place , been many times , as mother in law lives in Paignton. Keep up the great content 👍🏻
Now _that_ I am very taken with. Broom wasn't a manufacturer I was familiar with before I began watching Aquaholic, but their aft cabin boats are rapidly moving up my fantasy vessel list (A Nordhavn 55 still resides at No.1). Spending a couple of months enjoying the French waterways, then ending up in the Med sounds like an excellent idea. One day ...
Nick the way you go about your reviews are so refreshing , informative and entertaining. I'm never going to afford one but you're the closest I'll ever get to walking around one. Keep them coming i love it.
She is a gorgeous boat. I do like that layout as it gives you so much more space. That single armchair i was expecting you to say Nick you would sit there with a good book. Thank you for showing us around
Excellent no nonsense reviews with concise information exchange and no waffle. Excellent camera work for a one man band. Really useful videos. Very informative. Really enjoyed your video with John Brennan on our home cruising grounds.
Thank you for the tour Nick. May I please make a suggestion? Before you start filming, have a look in all the cabinets, lockers and what nots. That way you are not invading some privacy. Whoever currently owns this obviously uses it quite a bit and just seemed to have put their bits and pieces away nilly willy where ever they could find a spot. Maybe say the owner has some 'personal bits and pieces' in the cabinet. It's just a suggestion... ;-)
Hi Nick. 3 cabins for a 42 ft boat. Like the upper helm and cockpit. Plenty of space in the saloon and galley. Always love a blue hull. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊
As part of your tours, you can really see the stark difference in how various people care for the yachts they own. This one has obviously had a very fastidious owner. Incredible condition for a 2010 boat.
So refreshing to see a channel with someone who has a genuine interest in the subject matter. You make it very interesting and I can’t wait for your next video. Keep up the good work
Aft cabins may not be the sleekest yachts, but they sure do provide a lot of space. If having a quick step down to a hi-lo bathing platform isn't a priority, then an aft cabin boat is a very smart solution! Thanks for the tour!
Excellent boat, I particularly like the idea of having crockery stored vertically. I've had plates damaged in heavy seas when stacked. A small point, I know, but these boats have always been well thought out. Really good tour Nick
Amazing space and quality of workmanship. Very well designed boat with... well ME in mind. Thanks Nick of another great tour. You are the standard for which there is no equal.
I like this boat, affordable for a live-onboard. I would change back to a washer instead of extra drink fridge for longer time on it though. Very nice boat and as always a fantastic presentation.
An amazing job as per usual Nick. As an aside though, This is a lovely boat but the world has gone mad when an 11 year Broom 425 can command £350,000. Absolutely nuts!
Thanks, that's another great tour Nick, you have had a great mix of boat tours, well done and thanks for your insight. This could make a great little live aboard or short stay second home on the water, very nice indeed and a great use of space. It looks great and one can see that its been well looked after over the years, its not showing its age at all... Thanks Nick have a great day and looking forward to your next video tour...
This boat has a great feature that would work great here in the Eastern US, the folding arch. Great loopers would love that feature. If for some reason I'd land in some money to do that water tour, I'd have to consider this boat/maker.
Great boat! I miss the aft cabin layout that's been replaced in so many boats by the extended cockpit and the articulated swim platform. I suppose it's personal preference but I like the owner's cabin spaciousness and privacy at the sacrifice of the mini beach club stern. A sat dome! What a terrific summer live-aboard. I love it.
A very nice boat with a great layout, love the master cabin and galley areas, definitely looks fantastic for its age. I also like the dark blue hull it is a colour I would choose. Cheers Nick keep them coming.
A great find Nick 👍 These Brooms are amazing, I’d love one! Not I believe mega fast machines but they are very capable and comfortable. It’s a real tragedy that Broom have shut up shop and ceased manufacturing these wonderful craft.
My type of boat/second home. Galley down below!!! Leaving that saloon for living in. I would convert that bunk room into an extended galley space for extended retirement cruising 😎 and the rear stateroom is ideal for extended living/cruising. Nowwwww if only the lottery comes up then I'm all set 😉 cheers Nick, DougT the Mancs pensioner.
Now you’re talking 🙂🇬🇧 Aft cabin, twin diesel on screws is the best way….. probably an age thing, or a miserly outlook….. but you can’t get as much accommodation and living space for the money….. pottering about on a luxury floating caravan, or big crossings 🇬🇧🙂
@@darthkek1953 Those puns left me bristling! I didn't love the Broom at first, but then it just swept me away. I really need to brush-up on my pun skills...
Great boat Nick - real world practical cruising - love the engine access for daily checks and a decent size tender - and as previously mentioned lovely condition
Another great boat, presented, as usual, in a clear knowledgeable way. So glad I found this channel. I thought we were going to get a double wave today in the second mirror 😉.
Nick, you forgot to mention range. Could I make it across the channel and through the French canals without refueling. These things are important when I'm commuting to work and dreaming of a life I can't afford. Just joking, fantastic tour as usual.
Also nick, when you get the chance. (Getting released in a couple of days), can you try to get on the Aventura 14. I understand that it is hard with covid but you would do a better job than everyone else. I’m upsizing to it in a couple of years when I retire 🥳 Cheers nick

My thoughts exactly. What a MASSIVE interior living space!
You wouldn’t think this boat is over ten years old, just shows you how well made these Brooms are, well put together boat. Great tour as always
how many miles would it cover say at 7knots?
I know we keep on saying that, but I cannot shake the feeling, that this would make a great retirement get-out-and-stay-out boat for Marianne and you.

@@AQUAHOLIC a very good plan I might add...
@@nicolasbouyiouclis4726 Ditt Very '0'!

I love when you show "lived in" boats, and I particularly like the layout of this one. It's cozy, kinda of like a cottage on the sea.

Very similar to the Searay 505. Do you think you could find one of those and review it Nick PLEASE!!!

Always love the armchair on a yacht!
And another lovely yacht, toured by the TH-cam master of yacht videos. Thank you again, Nick, for the amazing tour - as usual. LOL

Nice to see a boat in use! Thanks for the insight Nick, and the owner!
What a clever layout. Great use of space. Thanks as always Nick.
This boat has a ridiculous amount of space for its length. I'm impressed.
I like this boat, affordable for a live-onboard. I would change back to a washer instead of extra drink fridge for longer time on it though. Very nice boat and as always a fantastic presentation.
Got to be my favourite boat so far so much room 3 cabins no need for extra cockpit
Two months ago I was into buying a new car. After finding your channel I am into buying a used boat. Cheers from Athens.
Awesome, good luck!
Love the layout and finish of this one…. And so forth
Thanks Nick, Great video and love the layout of this.
Very nice Nick. Like the fact that you show something of everything on your channel. Keep it up.

Yeah, that midnight blue looks terrific.
A great find Nick 👍
These Brooms are amazing, I’d love one! Not I believe mega fast machines but they are very capable and comfortable. It’s a real tragedy that Broom have shut up shop and ceased manufacturing these wonderful craft.
Someone likes their beer and (gin and) tonic. Lovely boat by the way. I've got to say I love river cruising, probably more so than on the sea.
I've seen so many of your excellent videos now that I'm waiting for the wave 👋, oh, and I always wave back!
Great starter boat for a small family. Then move up later. Great video!

Had Broom and lived on it for five and half years
i do like boats ( well maintained) in that 10 to 15 year bracket...and this one fits that bill.
I have always been into Broom's Nick.
Now you’re talking 🙂🇬🇧
Aft cabin, twin diesel on screws is the best way….. probably an age thing, or a miserly outlook….. but you can’t get as much accommodation and living space for the money….. pottering about on a luxury floating caravan, or big crossings 🇬🇧🙂

Glad you enjoyed it
My favorite part was Michael Scott's flat screen TV, haha
I love Brooms - but then I would say that, because (thanks to Nick) I now own one…
Awesome! Great boat!
There are at least two jokes in there; how does the Broom handle, and how many Broom heads?

Hey Nick, you gotta get a Azimut 40 Atlantis on here. There's a 2011 one I got my eye on and would love to see your tour on one as well
THAT is a nice yacht! Love the space!
Appreciate your videos, they are super! Would love to see some about Storebro, wonderful quality boats from Sweden.

Pretty sweet. I'm inclined to sweep that one up.
