You had me at "owner operated...no crew on this one", which is the perfect statement, to own a ship like that. And what a serious one this is. WOW! Literally everything backed up and the solution with the other generator behind a second door to keep it quiet is just very clever and well designed. On other vidoes, we´ve seen two more cabins at the space, the whole machinery is sitting in. What a vessel! Thanks indeed to the owners (and Nordhavn), to share it with the channel and as always thanks to you Nick.
@@OrangeAgent5 It is expensive, too expensive for me, already. Giving it double hull and perhaps building it for ice categories would make it hugely more expensive.
Oooh, more Nordhavn. Thank you so much, Nick! Will be looking forward to watching this tonight. Your walkthroughs of Nordhavn boats are definitely the ones I keep coming back to most often. They are marvelous.
I have watched a LOT of yacht videos of many brands, and I feel that this is the finest boat I have ever seen on video. Bar none! The owner's informed decisions based on untold years of Nordhavn experience and boating experience have resulted in a finalized build that, to me, is flawless. Absolutely perfect in every possible way. I usually find myself thinking that I would do this or that differently when viewing boat layouts. There isn't a thing that I would change on this build. Amazing! Thank you owners and AQUAHOLIC for this wonderful share! Safe Journeys!
My wife and I enjoy all of your videos. Your attention to details, your understanding of natural people flow in a space dictating placement of controls, windows, etc. is always spot on, and your appreciation for exactness in the build execution and high quality materials being used is a very much welcomed aspect of your in-depth coverage of these boats. Beautifully Done! Very Much Appreciated given the time and effort that you are putting forth to offer these highly polished video presentations.
I've seen a few Nordhavn walk-throughs & it just never gets old. I know nothing about boats but this is my Lotto dream, a Nordhavn 60 to 75 foot and I'll put a webcam up the mast just to show off. By the way, I don't think Nick needed a brief on this boat as he has done quite a few Nordhavn, he knows them well. Thanks, Nick & the owner.
I‘ve been looking forward to see a walkthrough on this one and only non-flybridge N68 in the world. As it was mentioned in a Nordhavn webinar, the owner even paid extra money to eliminate the flybridge to make the boat 100% suitable for his own use. To lower the profile definately helps a lot to improve the stability in heavy seas. After watching the walkthrough, now I even admire the owner more. There are numerous small changes throughout the boat which epitomize the owner's remarkable understanding of long-distance exploring yachts. He's not just a great voyager but also a magnificent yacht designer. Also, great thanks to Nick for spending the time and effort to show us all the fantastic details which reflect the perfection of this wonderful wonderful boat.
I would eliminate that wasted big saloon and choose the safety of both walk arounds and even yet more center of gravity. Why do you need a wide saloon for two? Not me.
such a fantastic vessel! I do not have the same excitement for the 'normal' yachts that focus on entertaining. a go anywhere boat is absolutely a breath of fresh air.
As a retired engineer (not marine) I find the attention to detail in the design of this amazing vessel perfectly ‘workable’ for owner/operator sailing. This is a vessel for travelling with. Brilliantly detailed tour. Thank you for posting.
It took 40 minutes, but you finally said “Classic Nordhavn”. Made the entire video for me. I do believe you are more excited in the engineering spaces than the public areas. There is more excitement in your explanation of all the equipment. Well done sir, a great tour of a classic Nordhavn little ship.
NH and Bering are the only two builders I would ever trust with my family's life out at sea. Strong, redundant, class, perfection. Great job showing all the nooks and crannies.
@@Sidowse that's right. Frankly, I do not properly understand reason to get such a open greenhouse-like mobile home and spend time in crowded port - no privacy, no place for fun - IMHO it is than better idea to rent a home with garden
This is the nicest Nordhavn that I have seen. They put a lot of thought into this vessels expected mission, engineering and autonomous redundancy. The interior was nice and functional, avoiding the designer polished "super yacht" look. Well done.
These owners have drawn upon untold years of on-the-water boating experience to assemble a magnificent ship for their future enjoyment. Informed decision making is always quite obvious. It's a beautiful boat.
Woke up at 4 am (US time) to have a wee, saw the notification for the video and just had to see if this is indeed a “classic Nordhavn” video and a “proper little ship”! So here I am watching the video , that’s how much we love you Nick!
Honestly this is the best engineered yacht I've ever seen. On top of that the quality of living spaces really does make it a dream for owner/ operators. Nordhavn and the owner hit the mark with this boat. The only thing I would change is the engines to Cat but thats just personal preference. Fantastic tour. Thank you for showing this.
Engine choice is an option too. A few of these have Scanias, per owner request. Cats are nice, but their heat rejection isn't so good, hence why they haven't been too popular a choice for Nordhavns.
I think i'd keep those engines. If you look across the whole range of Nordhavn boats, they use so many different engines. I am sure they have got where they are by knowing what is the best fit for whatever particular boat. Just my opinion, yours is also a good one :)
@@howardwilson3821 these luggers are so incredibly durable and the fuel polishing system is so sophisticated that you don’t need the redundancy of another 400 hp engine. Doubling the horse power on a displacement hull won’t really add performance either.
Absolutely magnificent. Definitely need a “meet the owner” on this one. Serious thinking for serious exploring here. And a proper technical tour. Thank you. Brilliant 💫
A proper boat, and perfect for the Scottish West Coast. Back-up with back-up and truly independent...not as glossy as some, and that's a good thing! Live on this, and you are living the dream, every day, in any weather. The attention to detail, access to the systems, redundancy and pure quality...all shine through. If I could build a boat, this is the one I would build, but frankly, I'd just buy this!
When an ocean going tugboat mates with a super yacht they produce a Nordhavn. And this is a fine example of that pairing. Thanks Nick, for the tour and thanks to Nordhavn for making such fine boats.
What an incredible little ship. She is stunning. Such a great layout allowing easy traversal of the ship. Only having one side deck certainly does increase the room you have inside. The wheel house is amazing and a great place for all to sit and chat with the operator. The amount of planning between the owner and Nordhavn is staggering. Accommodating every specification like they have. That gives the feeling more so its your ship, rather than just buying one already done. I would be more than happy to pay out the money to own her. The engine room is a feat of engineering. To have everything get at able and the amount of backups just incredible . Nick this has been an absolute pleasure to accompany you on this tour. Thank you so much for showing us around
Lovely boat. Terrific interiors. There is a catch. The davit and tender is mounted on the bow. Once the tender is brought over the bow someone must descend a ladder to board and bring to the stern. It is a two person job at best and in weather it doesn’t look very safe. I have a Fleming 65 and the davit drops the tender off the starboard side. Single handing is a breeze. Again, a great boat.
And voilà like the Finnish would say! What an amazing little ship! Now this is a dream boat! Thank you for this extensive tour that enlightened once more Nordhavn craftsmanship and thoroughness! The length of the video was just right, this boat really deserved it! I would love to see more of these longer tours!
Love the layout on this Nordhavn one of my favourites for the 68 so far. Really like the pilot house. Aesthetically nicer without the flybridge and more practical in my opinion.
Superb! Owner operated, need to have a degree in engineering. Was thinking that the owners manual must be large. Love these traditional little ships. Thanks Nick, a great video for a Sunday.
Always like a nordhavn, not overly keen on the wood but is classic nordhavn, i imagine you would feel soo safe out at sea in one of these. Thanks nic for another lovely nordhavn tour enjoyed it :)
got to admit my first instinct was not to like the choice of wood! but taking in mind that its a couple managing the boat i could see why they went for that choice, and it grew on me after a while :)
@@colincoulthard3021 Those pretty fashionable ones seem to be full of sharp corners and delicate details, which you're likely to regret having longer term in more demanding passages and circumstances. You don't want to wake up early to clean and wash, as a crew, before waking up as a owner and a guests, if you're both.
Living in the West of Scotland I have often wondered what a boat that can handle all Scottish waters and weather would look like especially one that could be out for weeks or months and here it is it’s fantastic. It would be amazing if the owners could do a monthly or 3 monthly vlog on its travels in all weathers.
This was a really impressing video. Love how the way they have made it as a real ship with all safety and redundancy but still wonderful interior. Absolutely my favourite.
Nordhavn never fail to deliver, this is an absolutely beautiful yacht, really like the finishes and a great layout. It is just breath taking. No wonder it was such a long tour there is so much to see. Brilliant tour Nick thank you so much.
Oh yes, I have been waiting for you to post this. You were the person that first introduced me to Nordhavn and I have been smitten ever since. This is absolutely stunning example of this iconic brand. My absolute first purchase when my numbers come up is a Nordhavn, no hesitation. Thank you so much for this awesome video. My weekend is complete 👍😎
What a beautiful yacht you have. Everything is ultra modern. The engine room imprest me a lot. I worked in a canadian ship yard as a shipwright and seen engine rooms, and none were as impressive as this one. Again, beautiful small ship.
Love it, even more excited that it's going to be based in Scotland, what a boat for these waters. Imagine taking it on a tour of the islands one week and up to the Norwegian Fjords the next. Couldn't be more perfect!
This tour made my day! I love engine rooms and you did the most detailed visit of this one....thank you. I bet the owners of this would be worthy of a whole video (or video series), they built this knowing what they wanted.
What an amazing tour...as a Kadey Krogen enthusiast I can say that there are so many similarities between the two manufacturers...and I know how much both manufacturers respect each other. I still can't be moved from the Kadey Krogen 52....in terms of homeliness and beauty. I was once a Nordhavn fan...but I have moved to Kadey Krogen....after 20 years of research....but both manufacturers are just awesome. They are the go to manufacturers for anyone interested in live aboard exploration. As you say Nick this boat is the expression of the owner...no flybridge...and the interior reflects the owner's taste. For me a flybridge is an absolute priority...the tender sitting on the owner's cabin was also odd I thought...but wow...what a fantastic yacht. This owner is a lucky couple indeed!! The engine room looks like something from the ISS. Every buyer of these yachts gets the boat they want....we can only salute their good fortune and wish them many years happy cruising. Superb vessel.
Stunning, abso-bloody-lutely stunning. The lucky new owner certainly knows what he wants and Nordhavn have certainly met his/her requirements, and some. cannot, unusually, think of anything that I would change. Congratulations to Nordhavn for building and supplying a fabulous, fit for purpose vessel and thanks to you Nick, as ever, for a very informative and professional tour. 👍👍👍.
You have no idea how much this relaxes me. My mini ship will probably be much smaller than this but I absolutly love these videos. Keep up the good work and the kind voice.
I see an Aquaholic Nordhavn video, and everything stops, because it must be watched. You can have your fancy Med cruisers, lovely as they are, this r8ght here is the dream. I'd love to make a few changes to the finishes myself, but I'd gladly take her just as she is. Wonderful, wonderful machine. Thank you for this Nick.
Very nice Nordie! Thanks for sharing!! Hope the owners enjoy her for many years!! I bet they are excited to get her in hand and learn her ways!! Beauty of a yacht! 👍👍
Great review Nick… today I will use the word “thorough” 🤯🤯 for this review. This should be used in space it’s that advanced/amazing. My brain hurts trying to take it all in. What a wonderful little big ship to cruise Scotland, Baltic or the world. Thank you new owners for sharing this. Will keep an eye out next time we are up there. 😎✌🏻
I love, love, love Nordhavn's. The ability to be fully customized along with the excellence in engineering, experience, and amazing build quality makes them a great choice.
Wow. As an engineer that was a great tour and exactly the sort of boat I would want to own. It's so good to see all the choices the owner has made thanks to their experience, every decision makes so much sense.
Fantastic yacht, fantastic craftmanship, fantastic vibe and a fantastic tour. You make it soooo easy to just see yourself and family sail on adventures for months or years. Don't ever stop Nick 😃
What an amazing tour, on an incredible yacht! I have watched this twice just to make sure I saw ever little detail. Very detailed tour as well, I very much like it thanks Nick. Lovely ship!
Every time you bring up a Nordhavn is a total joy! This one in particular, very nice layout, high quality. Nordhavn never disappointed and obviously you Nick never let us down with your high quality video and ability to show us every corner. Thank you!!!
Of all things, that tiller attachment really speaks to what these ships are all about. Everything is double or triple redundant, allowing you to go the most isolated places on Earth.
Thanks, Nick, for what is the most detailed Aquaholic Tour ever, out of 716. I know it because I've seen them all !!! (516 yacht tours and 200 superyachts)
The layout is one of the best I have ever seen. So cozy. You dont feel boxed in. I think its safe to say that Nordhavn Yachts are the best when it comes to long range and harsh weather operation. Even for living in them! Love it!
@34:57 that little circular object with a blue led ring in the middle looks like a Unifi wifi access point. I guess they are serious about getting wifi to the entire ship! Beautiful ship and video Nick! Thank you for the great walkthrough. I hope the new owners love it ❣
Absolutely love Nordhavn. The cost is in redundancy, not silly things that you don't need like steam showers and swimming pools. Nordhavn is what I dream about while I'm counting my pennies...
that is an amazing boat. ive never had any intrest in boats before, but i tell you that there are some beautifully done vessel's on the seas of this planet.... this is an amazingly well made and thought out yacht. its evident that this owner and wife are very experienced in this life. good for the owners and passengers that get the opportunity to spend time on this masterpiece!
Great looking and a very capable looking boat, Nick - if this is heading up my way then those screens are midge screens - much smaller than Mosquito's but a lot more ornery - a great idea - especially at anchor in a sea loch.
I’d love to see a ‘meet the owners’ vid for this boat. I’m from Scotland and I absolutely love the rugged coastline but appreciate how challenging (scary) boating is up here. So I’d be intrigued to learn why you would choose to keep a boat in such a challenging area (when presumably they could buy a more luxurious boat for half the price in more sunny climes - (maybe they also have a Med boat e ;-) - the owners sound like mad enthusiasts - or maybe just mad)!
Being able to see everywhere, all the little spaces and hidden areas is amazing. The techie side as well as the living side is always really interesting to me! Beautiful little ship, amazing technical boat and I assume the coast guard is still after you? Right after the camera cut out, you cut out with the boat? Or is that a separate video? Perfect tour thank you, I do appreciate the mechanical side as well!
Very lovely boat. I would love to see a configuration that is wheelchair-accessible, from boarding, to getting around, to going up and down the different levels, to an accessible washroom, shower, and bedroom. Is there a boat like that?
My favorite Ship/Yacht/boat that I have seen on this channel, a proper ship, with all the backup systems and space , absolutly first class, hats off to the owner for showing us this boat/small ship and chapeau to the owner for choosing such a great design.
It's a shame that some of the crew bits aren't in this one, those are one of my favorite parts of what we can see in these tours. Nordhavns are always lovely though so it's still a win!
First of all, what an incredible piece of kit this “ship” is . When one considers all the equipment, systems etc the cost seems very reasonable. Thanks for a great tour 👏👍😀
40 minutes of Nordhavn bliss - you're getting closer to James Knight territory now :D Wonderful. Please keep them coming. I cross my fingers the owners of this beauty will agree for a "meet the owner" video. I assume this is 6839 that has arrived in the UK 10 month ago - is it normal to take so long for the commissioning? Or was the video shot a while ago already? (Also you should get a contract from Nordhavn, as your videos are *much* better than theirs… 🤫)
Timestamp at 34 mins would confirm it's #6839 but Nick could have filmed it quite some time ago and held back releasing until it was handed over and accepted by the owners.
Thank you so much Nick!!! Well worth the wait. Love it!! Thank you for showing us spaces no one has ever showed before ( and believe me… We have watched all available Nordhavn video that exist 😂 several times). The space under the master head, the locker behind the master stateroom door, under the dining room table … All those details are so important and great to see so you Mr B are the BEST!!!
I don't own a yacht. I will likely never own a yacht, and yet I cannot stop watching these videos. I love the thoroughness of all of your tours.
Glad you like them!
Never say never, your life could change from day to night 😉
You are not the only one, my friend... ne, too!
And i am quite sure we are not the only ones afflicted with this strange liking...
I'm guilty of this as well.
SAME!!! Not sure why I can’t stop watching these 😂. Nick’s tours can not be beat!!!
You had me at "owner operated...no crew on this one", which is the perfect statement, to own a ship like that.
And what a serious one this is. WOW!
Literally everything backed up and the solution with the other generator behind a second door to keep it quiet is just very clever and well designed.
On other vidoes, we´ve seen two more cabins at the space, the whole machinery is sitting in. What a vessel!
Thanks indeed to the owners (and Nordhavn), to share it with the channel and as always thanks to you Nick.
I think they don't have double hull, am I mistaken?
@@just42tube oh…correct. You‘re right about that. No backup there.
@@OrangeAgent5 It is expensive, too expensive for me, already. Giving it double hull and perhaps building it for ice categories would make it hugely more expensive.
They only have one anchor which is a risk, a very slight one but still a risk.
@@just42tube if you include the 5 metre tender then yup, double hulls🤪👍
Oooh, more Nordhavn. Thank you so much, Nick! Will be looking forward to watching this tonight. Your walkthroughs of Nordhavn boats are definitely the ones I keep coming back to most often. They are marvelous.
Hope you enjoy it!
Same here, you can't watch Aquaholic touring a Nordhavn just once.

At 24:25 you visit the VIP Guest Cabin. Might you know the floor to ceiling height in that room?
Look at the Jay Benford, "Teddy Bear". Its an owner captained yacht the likes of which I have never seen.
I've seen a few Nordhavn walk-throughs & it just never gets old. I know nothing about boats but this is my Lotto dream, a Nordhavn 60 to 75 foot and I'll put a webcam up the mast just to show off. By the way, I don't think Nick needed a brief on this boat as he has done quite a few Nordhavn, he knows them well. Thanks, Nick & the owner.
You and me both, just watched the walk through - saw your comment! Maybe we should by LOTTO tickets together..
I‘ve been looking forward to see a walkthrough on this one and only non-flybridge N68 in the world.

a 40min video on a lovely Nordhavn, what a treat
NH and Bering are the only two builders I would ever trust with my family's life out at sea. Strong, redundant, class, perfection. Great job showing all the nooks and crannies.
The other yachts don't really go out to sea. The zero-displacement hulls are crap in anything but lovely weather.
@@Sidowse there are other builders who produce open-sea worthy (and certified) yachts/boats. Even Aquaholic made videos about some.
@@mungo7136 Oh OK, but most are just really expensive toys that just go round the coast and for that many seem paradoxical.

The ability to swap engines without cutting the hull is... it's ridiculous, how easy this company makes maintenance & troubleshooting for operators.
I LOVE NORDHAVN BOATS. This one especially. The owners did a great job. Thanks for the tour Nick!!!!

The length of the video was just right, this boat really deserved it! I would love to see more of these longer tours!
Nordhavn was my first Aquaholic video. This is bliss.
I love how awesome Nordhavn is with their focus and expertise. Their yachts are floating luxury tanks.
Before having watched this the Fleming 65 was my favourite boat.
I may have to reconsider.
You know this is a real "little ship" when her electronic switch panels say so! 😍

I still can't be moved from the Kadey Krogen 52....in terms of homeliness and beauty. I was once a Nordhavn fan...but I have moved to Kadey Krogen....after 20 years of research....but both manufacturers are just awesome. They are the go to manufacturers for anyone interested in live aboard exploration. As you say Nick this boat is the expression of the owner...no flybridge...and the interior reflects the owner's taste. For me a flybridge is an absolute priority...the tender sitting on the owner's cabin was also odd I thought...but wow...what a fantastic yacht. This owner is a lucky couple indeed!! The engine room looks like something from the ISS. Every buyer of these yachts gets the boat they want....we can only salute their good fortune and wish them many years happy cruising. Superb vessel.
Stunning, abso-bloody-lutely stunning. The lucky new owner certainly knows what he wants and Nordhavn have certainly met his/her requirements, and some. cannot, unusually, think of anything that I would change. Congratulations to Nordhavn for building and supplying a fabulous, fit for purpose vessel and thanks to you Nick, as ever, for a very informative and professional tour. 👍👍👍.
You're very welcome! 🙂
You have no idea how much this relaxes me. My mini ship will probably be much smaller than this but I absolutly love these videos. Keep up the good work and the kind voice.
Thank you! 🙂
40 minutes of Nordhavn and Burnham = happy viewing! Saving this for later tonight 😁
Enjoy! 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC I certainly did! Couldn’t wait till later, so found a quiet spot to tuck myself away with a good tour 😆
@@nicbennett6554 Awesome! 😃
Have you discovered the Yacht Tech channel too?
I see an Aquaholic Nordhavn video, and everything stops, because it must be watched. You can have your fancy Med cruisers, lovely as they are, this r8ght here is the dream. I'd love to make a few changes to the finishes myself, but I'd gladly take her just as she is. Wonderful, wonderful machine. Thank you for this Nick.
One could spend a lifetime onboard this one. Incredible!
Thanks for the tour, Nick. Norhavn is my favorite builder and this is my favorite little ship of all time.
Very nice Nordie! Thanks for sharing!! Hope the owners enjoy her for many years!! I bet they are excited to get her in hand and learn her ways!! Beauty of a yacht! 👍👍
This may be a new favorite for trawler yacht interior. Beautiful.
Great review Nick… today I will use the word “thorough” 🤯🤯 for this review. This should be used in space it’s that advanced/amazing. My brain hurts trying to take it all in. What a wonderful little big ship to cruise Scotland, Baltic or the world. Thank you new owners for sharing this. Will keep an eye out next time we are up there. 😎✌🏻
I love, love, love Nordhavn's. The ability to be fully customized along with the excellence in engineering, experience, and amazing build quality makes them a great choice.
Wow. As an engineer that was a great tour and exactly the sort of boat I would want to own. It's so good to see all the choices the owner has made thanks to their experience, every decision makes so much sense.
I love this ship, the wide main salon, the cedar, so much, including how solid everything sounded as you opened and closed doors and hatches.
Fantastic yacht, fantastic craftmanship, fantastic vibe and a fantastic tour. You make it soooo easy to just see yourself and family sail on adventures for months or years. Don't ever stop Nick 😃
Thank you very much!
Love the owners vision here.loads of room for a substantial solar system.very nice.
What an amazing tour, on an incredible yacht! I have watched this twice just to make sure I saw ever little detail. Very detailed tour as well, I very much like it thanks Nick. Lovely ship!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best 40 min I will spend today. Amazing ship! Congratulations to the owners and thank you for the sneak peek of your new baby.
Absolutely stunning ship, the engineering and workmanship looks to be top notch.
Every time you bring up a Nordhavn is a total joy! This one in particular, very nice layout, high quality. Nordhavn never disappointed and obviously you Nick never let us down with your high quality video and ability to show us every corner. Thank you!!!
Glad you like it!
Incredible classic Nordhavn
I LOVE the Nordhavns. Had to watch this one twice
The owner certainly knows how to spec a boat for serious use. What a fantastic machine.
Definitely one of the best video I have seen done this guy is great and really knows what he is doing
The attention to detail and the redundancy of systems is truly amazing. It makes my Princess look like a toy boat.
The DETAILS make this boat and this video! THANKS for bringing her to us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Of all things, that tiller attachment really speaks to what these ships are all about. Everything is double or triple redundant, allowing you to go the most isolated places on Earth.
Thanks, Nick, for what is the most detailed Aquaholic Tour ever, out of 716. I know it because I've seen them all !!! (516 yacht tours and 200 superyachts)
Awesome! 😃
The layout is one of the best I have ever seen. So cozy. You dont feel boxed in. I think its safe to say that Nordhavn Yachts are the best when it comes to long range and harsh weather operation. Even for living in them! Love it!
absolutely a great layout. Only thing I would change is bunk beds in cabin 3. That full size bed just fills the room.
You can here your enthusiasm and dare I say lust for the Nordhavn design ethos.
I know cause I feel it too.
the redundancy and engineering level of this boat makes it the U.S.S. Enterprise of yachts. good lord this machine is built for peace of mind.
@34:57 that little circular object with a blue led ring in the middle looks like a Unifi wifi access point. I guess they are serious about getting wifi to the entire ship!
Beautiful ship and video Nick! Thank you for the great walkthrough. I hope the new owners love it ❣
The engineering is truly incredible. the detail is something else , built to last , built to be unstoppable, what a boat!
Nick does the most informative, thorough yacht tours of anyone! Incredibly detailed, nicely filmed and entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely love Nordhavn. The cost is in redundancy, not silly things that you don't need like steam showers and swimming pools. Nordhavn is what I dream about while I'm counting my pennies...
that is an amazing boat. ive never had any intrest in boats before, but i tell you that there are some beautifully done vessel's on the seas of this planet.... this is an amazingly well made and thought out yacht. its evident that this owner and wife are very experienced in this life. good for the owners and passengers that get the opportunity to spend time on this masterpiece!
Great looking and a very capable looking boat, Nick - if this is heading up my way then those screens are midge screens - much smaller than Mosquito's but a lot more ornery - a great idea - especially at anchor in a sea loch.
Cant be any better guiding, absolutt 100% fantastic.
I’d love to see a ‘meet the owners’ vid for this boat. I’m from Scotland and I absolutely love the rugged coastline but appreciate how challenging (scary) boating is up here. So I’d be intrigued to learn why you would choose to keep a boat in such a challenging area (when presumably they could buy a more luxurious boat for half the price in more sunny climes - (maybe they also have a Med boat e ;-) - the owners sound like mad enthusiasts - or maybe just mad)!
Agreed Nick, RED just by the sheer skill in the transformation deserved your No 1 but for me the Nordhavn 68 is a clear 2nd. Love your channel.
Classic Nordhavn
I've just lifted the bit where you say "Classic Nordhavn" and made it my new ring tone. I love love love what you do!
Fantastic! 😄
is this owner actually going across atlantic or down to med?
Absolutely amazing,beautiful boat,and lovely to see how the other half live.
Being able to see everywhere, all the little spaces and hidden areas is amazing. The techie side as well as the living side is always really interesting to me! Beautiful little ship, amazing technical boat and I assume the coast guard is still after you? Right after the camera cut out, you cut out with the boat? Or is that a separate video? Perfect tour thank you, I do appreciate the mechanical side as well!
The attention to detail on these Nordhavns are truly sensational. As usual, a great tour Nick.
Beautiful yacht. I'm still not a fan of all the wood. I would still love to spend a week on her. Thank you Nick.
My pleasure!
Classic Nordhavn and classic Aquaholic. A real epic tour of an epic boat.
Very lovely boat. I would love to see a configuration that is wheelchair-accessible, from boarding, to getting around, to going up and down the different levels, to an accessible washroom, shower, and bedroom. Is there a boat like that?
Some have an internal lift between decks, spec them as you want really. 👍🇬🇧
My favorite Ship/Yacht/boat that I have seen on this channel, a proper ship, with all the backup systems and space , absolutly first class, hats off to the owner for showing us this boat/small ship and chapeau to the owner for choosing such a great design.
Watching this I need to put my Rolex on.
Now just waiting for the N475 ;) Amazing video as always!
It's a shame that some of the crew bits aren't in this one, those are one of my favorite parts of what we can see in these tours. Nordhavns are always lovely though so it's still a win!
There are no crew areas on this one - owner specified the boat without them. I agree though, they are my favourite part of the tours as well!
First of all, what an incredible piece of kit this “ship” is . When one considers all the equipment, systems etc the cost seems very reasonable. Thanks for a great tour 👏👍😀
40 minutes of Nordhavn bliss - you're getting closer to James Knight territory now :D Wonderful. Please keep them coming. I cross my fingers the owners of this beauty will agree for a "meet the owner" video.
I assume this is 6839 that has arrived in the UK 10 month ago - is it normal to take so long for the commissioning? Or was the video shot a while ago already?
(Also you should get a contract from Nordhavn, as your videos are *much* better than theirs… 🤫)
Timestamp at 34 mins would confirm it's #6839 but Nick could have filmed it quite some time ago and held back releasing until it was handed over and accepted by the owners.
James knight would be 2 hours on this boat.
Nick it almost brought a tear to my eye at the end of the tour when you said those special words, classic Nordhavn.
I'm a fan of the practicality. Not so much of the interior design. Thanks for showing us this boat Nick!
Thank you so much Nick!!! Well worth the wait. Love it!! Thank you for showing us spaces no one has ever showed before ( and believe me… We have watched all available Nordhavn video that exist 😂 several times). The space under the master head, the locker behind the master stateroom door, under the dining room table … All those details are so important and great to see so you Mr B are the BEST!!!
You're very kind 🙂
