I'm completely addicted to watching your tours. I'm "not in the market" for a boat at the moment but when I am your channel will have been the seed. Thank you.
Hi Nick, a very nice boat but for the price I could buy a 1990's boat much bigger and repower with a refit and a 50' plus footer. I love new boats but 29' is marginal size in my Humble Opinion. It is made well and has great features, if it was 35' I would be much happier. Thank you for all your efforts and time to bring us very nice boats we would not normally look at.
What cool little boat. I love all the little things that make it so different. You can tell a lot of thought has gone into the design. I think Fairline lost a treasure with this fellow. My favorite bits were the extractor fan, engine access, the location of the switch board and the switches themselves (those tiny switches are my favorite), the full arch bimini, two fridges, and how the cockpit is separate from the aft platform. As a father of three younger kids it gives me a safer feeling being enclosed a bit. It also really gives this boat a feeling of four main spaces: the platform, the cockpit, the interior, and the foredeck. I love it! I also really like the duality of purpose, a little river here, some bay-finding there. Perfect! Thanks as always Nick
You are absolutely right Nick, nothing more to be said, "it's quite a lovely little boat." They sure did pack a lot into a 29' vessel. I really like the tinted windscreen that wraps around with the downward curves port & starboard.
Lovely, you can see the attention to detail gone into this. As much as I love the idea of blasting down the coast at 30 knots, a relaxing river cruise, stopping off at towns and villages along the way is great fun.
I just read that in England there are over a DOZEN navigable rivers plus canal systems, that are home to thousands of boats designed for inland (river) travel - not including the rivers' long boats. To a Brit this is logical. To most Yanks it appears WEIRD. In the Colonies the rivers are CONSIDERED similar in challenge and veracity to be a match for many a European "Sea" - so we don't build boats with a distinction with regard to what waters the boat will traverse, only what it will do once wet. Your series on Britain's inland "yachts" is fascinating, entertaining and informative. Thanks, Nick.
One could tell that this was conceived with love from the way she's all put together. What a sweet and cute little boat she is! Probably the best weekender or day boat for beginners too. Love it and thanks for bringing us this one, Nick! ❤️❤️
That canopy makes the boat look like a floating conservatory, but...call me crazy, I think I like it. Incredible use of space, as well. I've spent most of my maritime experience on sub-30-footers and this is among the best laid-out vessels I've seen.
A fabulous little cruiser I’d say and would be very happy with that especially with twin engines. Bit pricey but it is a quality vessel. Great tour, thanks Nick
It's interesting, even though though this isn't the most fancy boat you've shown by any stretch, I just love it! Something about it is so very warm and beautifully thought out.
Really like this, seems as English Harbour have their own way to do things, which it seems to reflect quite well in the design language of the boat itself, prob have the same amount of storage as a regular boat of that size, but certainly how English Harbour went about is what set them apart in my opinion, I like the particular elegance of this boat, everything is done with the intent of being elegant and different, I like this, a lot of ingenuity here, thank you Nick, another brand that if wasn't for your channel I would never know it existed :)
Another great informative film Nick. Your videos never get dull, always informative and interesting to watch from start to finish. Keep up the great work
$310,000 CDN? No, I can get so much more for the money. It does appear to be a good quality build, but too pricey for me. This is one of the things I love about this channel though. We get to see stuff we might not even look twice at. Nicks presentation is always excellent, and thorough. So it’s another top quality Aquaholic tour, and always a great way to spend a few minutes with a hot cup of coffee.
Not so much a fan of the exterior but the packaging is great! Ample storage and I did not expect a glass shower, let alone a second cabbin, on a 27/29 ft boat like this. Cheers Nick
A nice looking boat BUT I want a double bedroom I can shut the door on, i also want a bed I can get out of either side, so because of that, I'm out! Nice video Nick! I'm now going to look at Duchy boats for a comparison!
Really Awesome affordable boat with somewhat of a dry bath in 29’ boat! I’ll take one along with the motor home I just watched on Nick’s other channel Motorholic! I really need to consider a move!!
After seeing this video I went and bought her ! Thank you Nick just loved the quality and small enough to be practical on the Thames . The semi displacement made it mor practical on a river but the option of going tidal …maybe one day. For now a weekender gin palace .
Looking at the bow it seems as if the designer wanted to go with a tug/trawler design but "updated". The best part of that is how much space it allows for the forward cabin/salon area. With the space available in the engine bay, it could easily fit a larger Penta in there for us "speed-demons" on the other side of the pond LOL
I watched the Sunseeker 90 video where the company talked about the design, and all the comments were asking for you to do a tour - so I hope it is on your list!
Hi Nick, thanks for another fantastic video! Just one idea - it would be great if you could start the engine on these tours to get an idea of the sound levels on the boat with the engine/generator running. As you mentioned, English harbour has done a great job with the sound insulation on this one... it would be informative to hear the impact this has. Thanks again!
Love the ship-like look of this boat. Fantastic for its relatively small size. A few odd things, like a massive sink under a seat yet a tiny fridge down on the floor. The beds could be done a little better too, particularly the left hand bed in the cabin which would have your head wedged between the pillow and the underside of the cockpit floor.
There’s certainly a lot packed into a small boat. I’d say it’s perfect for inshore rivers & perhaps coastal cruising from marina to marina. Looked well built with some nice touches but I feel (& I’d never thought I would say this on this channel) it’s perhaps a tad overpriced? Great tour as always though Nick! 👋🏻
A lot of neat features on this boat, liked the steps down, the decor, the heads and the cockpit. But I felt the rear cabin was a little tight. But once again a fantastic video. My wife is now wanting me to spend some money so I may have to buy one of your hoodies lol.
I looked at getting one of these a few years back - the design, quality, and space in a 29 footer was remarkable. Unfortunately a move to Singapore ‘sank’ (!) that plan. I wanted much more fuel capacity but there was sufficient space to put in an additional tank on the starboard side to meet my needs. In my view this boat was far better, all round, than anything else on the market. The only question mark was top end but a test drive showed it could cruise in the high teens all day which is what we did in our Sealine anyway although that would get to 32 knots top end....I read somewhere they had gone bust....I really hope they can get going again as the 29 is a fabulous boat.....
There's a boat out there for everyone and we all have different tastes and requirements for our boats. Having said that,as much as I can see the appeal for some,this one isn't for me I'm afraid. Great tour as always.
That’s a nice, sensibly sized boat for a couple or a family of 4 - great to be able to do some inland or coastal excursions. Sensibly engined too, for that balance of work - economical with some performance if needed/wanted. That blue Hardy-Fisher looks nice, next to it, too! Any chance of a tour of that, Nick?! :)
There is nothing I Don’t Like about the 00:52 Virile all weather Hull architecture, fit & finishes.......however that Hump Back camper enclosure, although functional, is “distracting” and a tad disturbing. Thxs Sir Nick 🇺🇸👍
Not heard of this hull manufacturer before, but I'm impressed by those space-saving ideas they've formulated. A very neat boat indeed. I imagine it looks sleek, top down, under throttle, side on. In fact, it's side profile, minus atrium(!) reminds me of the MGB81 WWII-era gunboat. A good video showcasing a restored MGB81 is on this link ( th-cam.com/video/BoSXhLATGWE/w-d-xo.html ). Only to be watched AFTER you've had a sufficient _Aquaholic_ fill! ✌️😉
I'm completely addicted to watching your tours. I'm "not in the market" for a boat at the moment but when I am your channel will have been the seed. Thank you.
Awesome, glad you like them!

Very impressive. What a jam packed little boat, which appears much bigger than its size. Stylish and comfortable too. Good job!

An evolution of the standard Broads Cruisers of my youth..... lovely quality boat and, my favourite Volvo XC90 engine 🙂🇬🇧
Always love the Sunday lunchtime yacht tours :) English Harbour is a new one for me, great tour and so spacious for sub-30 boat!
I just read that in England there are over a DOZEN navigable rivers plus canal systems, that are home to thousands of boats designed for inland (river) travel - not including the rivers' long boats.

You're very welcome :)
Lovely boat and superb amount of useful space and storage for the size.
Thanks for showing us around 😁
Thanks for watching!
Got to say, they’ve packed in a lot, really ergonomically. Very impressive and “affordable” great tour as always! Have a great week!
A good cup of tea and a new Aquaholic video has become my favourite Sunday morning routine. Thanks for another great tour, Nick.
One could tell that this was conceived with love from the way she's all put together. What a sweet and cute little boat she is! Probably the best weekender or day boat for beginners too. Love it and thanks for bringing us this one, Nick! ❤️❤️
This is my kind of vessel! Another excellent video Sir Burnham!
Thank you kindly
32 seconds, a new record for clicking on an aquaholic video,
Good work!
Lovely design features, will it be a success, could be ,might be, I wait in anticipation for others to decide
That canopy makes the boat look like a floating conservatory, but...call me crazy, I think I like it. Incredible use of space, as well. I've spent most of my maritime experience on sub-30-footers and this is among the best laid-out vessels I've seen.
Another new brand you have brought us and what a brilliant boat, absolutely lovely. Great tour as always Nick.
Many thanks!
Watch all your videos and such a surprise to see you at Bray! walk past it everyday
Another very unique craft Nick lots of boat for size and money thanks for your tour mate 👍🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
That's a lot of boat for the size. Great use of space. The cabin certainly surprised me. Very nice indeed. Great tour as always Nick.. 🛥️🚤
Thanks!
The beginning of this video gave me a little bit of nostalgia with the birds. I see a lot of birds at my family camp and it made me think of that
Hi Nick. For a river boat it looks nice, plenty of space aboard for a 29ft. British craftsmanship. Great video thanks 😊
Lovely little boat indeed! Great job as always nick!!
Many thanks!
Another good tour and great to see another brand of boat.
Thanks as always Nick
My pleasure!
Very neatly packaged boat for the size. Good choice of colors to help make it feel more airy.
Plenty of detailed design solutions made the interest in this video.
I thought that was a great little boat nicely thought out, would be nice to see her underway in the sun with the canopies down. Thanks Nick.
Not gonna lie...I like this boat! LOL Thanks again, Nick!!
Any time!
I’ve never seen this “brand” of boat and it looks quite nice! Lovely one, Nick!
As you say Nick. A lovely little boat. Something like that would suit me very well.
A fabulous little cruiser I’d say and would be very happy with that especially with twin engines. Bit pricey but it is a quality vessel.
Great tour, thanks Nick
Incredible design, the details are amazing, so much thought has gone into making best use of all the space available.
Hey Nick how are ya bud another great boat and makes river cruising as much fun as coastal cruising with lots of great ideas, Have a great Sunday Nick
Thank you, you too! :)
It's interesting, even though though this isn't the most fancy boat you've shown by any stretch, I just love it! Something about it is so very warm and beautifully thought out.
I thought this was a sailboat at first when i saw the thumbnail. Great boat!
Really like this, seems as English Harbour have their own way to do things, which it seems to reflect quite well in the design language of the boat itself, prob have the same amount of storage as a regular boat of that size, but certainly how English Harbour went about is what set them apart in my opinion, I like the particular elegance of this boat, everything is done with the intent of being elegant and different, I like this, a lot of ingenuity here, thank you Nick, another brand that if wasn't for your channel I would never know it existed :)
Perfect for a week/wknd of exploring 👍🇬🇧

Really nice boat Nick. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Why would 50 people give this video a thumbs down? This was a thorough Aquaholic tour just on a much smaller boat this time.
Likely they were down-voting the boat, not the video?
Nick its like new year happiness seeing you upload a few mins ago
YOu're very kind :)
1st impression I thought what a strange boat but than I was very surprised with the layout inside out
Oh Nick. What would I do without you.
A great little boat. I was a bit shocked at the interior space. Definately wasnt expecting that cabin to show up 😁
Excellent build quality. They packed a lot in for a 29'ft boat.
Loved the intro with that chirping bird! lol Good job Nick!
Yet another great video by aquaholic making my Sunday afternoon 👍
Enjoy!
And making my Sunday morning 🇲🇽👍
Nice boat! A lot in it for the money!
A nice looking boat BUT I want a double bedroom I can shut the door on, i also want a bed I can get out of either side, so because of that, I'm out! Nice video Nick! I'm now going to look at Duchy boats for a comparison!

Such a cute little boat. Great for a starter.
Aquaholic, the only reason i stay up late on a Sunday night! (Syd, Aus)
After seeing this video I went and bought her ! Thank you Nick just loved the quality and small enough to be practical on the Thames .
The semi displacement made it mor practical on a river but the option of going tidal …maybe one day. For now a weekender gin palace .
That's great to hear! I hope you have a lot of fun with it
I love your videos !!
Thank you so much! :)
@@AQUAHOLIC I've been watching you since the first lockdown in hopes of buying my own yacht someday 😥❤
@@abbassi9361 Good luck!
Wow.. Just fantastic Boat Nick Sir... It's small but has all the necessities in it... Great Nick Sir... And you are looking handsome as always 😍

Fantastic tour as always Nick.
Many thanks!
Neat boat great showing as usual
Thanks 👍
Hi Nick, thanks for another fantastic video! Just one idea - it would be great if you could start the engine on these tours to get an idea of the sound levels on the boat with the engine/generator running. As you mentioned, English harbour has done a great job with the sound insulation on this one... it would be informative to hear the impact this has. Thanks again!
Good live aboard expansion capability - loads of space for solar and batteries and more water etc.
Love the ship-like look of this boat. Fantastic for its relatively small size. A few odd things, like a massive sink under a seat yet a tiny fridge down on the floor. The beds could be done a little better too, particularly the left hand bed in the cabin which would have your head wedged between the pillow and the underside of the cockpit floor.
Very nice mini yacht that seems of very high quality.
Great video to start off this morning!

Looked well built with some nice touches but I feel (& I’d never thought I would say this on this channel) it’s perhaps a tad overpriced? Great tour as always though Nick! 👋🏻
Seems like a great starter boat to buy second hand in a couple of years when I am out of uni :)
Another great detailed review of a very interesting boat!
A lot of neat features on this boat, liked the steps down, the decor, the heads and the cockpit. But I felt the rear cabin was a little tight. But once again a fantastic video. My wife is now wanting me to spend some money so I may have to buy one of your hoodies lol.

Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Pretty boat.
Would love that boat. It would be luxury for me. Great to take a trip to Sweden in...merry Xmas

No longer sunny Sydney it’s absolutely heaving down here . Rain rain and more rain !!!
Great video, Nick. Loved it!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for that.
You're welcome
It looks like a cute little toy boat, but I figured out that little/small in British language means massive. :) I got to keep up with the lingo!
Feels like a huge amount of boat for the money.
That boat left me a bit cold nick . Wanted to like it but couldn’t . If I had £180000 not the boat I would buy.
Great tour as usual Nick. Any plans for more live streams with the boss. The last one was great fun...
Most definitely!
Cool little ride...
Nice video Nick , unusually you did not describe the helm ?
There is nothing I Don’t Like about the 00:52 Virile all weather Hull architecture, fit & finishes.......however that Hump Back camper enclosure, although functional, is “distracting” and a tad disturbing. Thxs Sir Nick 🇺🇸👍

4:55 The placement of that oven in such close proximity to the fabric of the seats seems to me to be a massive fire hazard.
And such an obvious fix with switching the location of the vertical cupboard. 🙄
I'm guessing, but I think it might be so the internal walls of the refrigerator and the (hot) oven aren't close to each other.
Was going to mention that. I find the fit of this a bit shoddy. Im not a fan.
Would like to see a video of the boat to the 29s starboard side please. Nice video :)
Wow!
It's different, but I actually quite like it. All very practical. Just not sure I'd spend £180k on it - quite a competitive price point.
