Agreed, superyachts are cool but imagine actually having to run one, more crew than actual passengers it seems, like running a small business, nothing leisurely or intimate about it.
You know what I like about your videos is that there are no bells n' whistles. Just down to talk about the boat in simple terms, if you use jargon, then you always explain. Quite like this boat, although not sure on the placement of grill.
As far as I know, Galeon are pretty customisable. They certainly are on their bigger boats - so you should be able to replace the griddle with a TV unit or whatever.
Grill threw me off as well, prefer it to be in the cockpit so I can use it without opening up all of the deck saloon. Prefer the flybridge yachts as they provide more 'outdoor' space on the boat for wetbar and seating, without compromising the integrity of the weather-tight 'indoor' space.
Would love to hear what you dislike (if anything) about these boats! As a boat owner I think you would have more insight into the negatives that a non-boat owner may not pick up on
It's tricky. Unfortunately yard folks get weird about letting a walkthrough happen if they know it's going to be a review. Sadly the only way is to be consistent and treat all boats to a walkthrough tour, even privately owned boats.
My wife & I completely agree about the “photo of your loved one by the bed.” Perfect. This is an incredible package for such a small boat. Absolutely love it.
A cosy boat, love the layout, could really see myself living on that! (but then I say that about them all) My dream is always a wee Nordhavn, but I also wonder if having a bit more pace would be handy sometimes? I choice sadly I don't anticipate having to make in real life...
Thank you for helping me find a goal in life. I'm currently working hard to be able to start charter business. I may not ever actually achieve it but wherever I end up I surely will be accomplished!
I almost paused the vid at the 8:33 mark to type that "he forgot the day heads! he forgot the day heads!"....which he did....but got around to it. Silly of me to think that Aquaholic would ever fail in giving a complete and proper tour.
I do like what Galeon do with the space in their boats. That's a really smart layout - a lot of boat in a small package. It looks to be good value considering what you get - I especially like the snug, given it's in addition to two full cabins and two heads! And a tender garage to boot! My only reservation is the indoor BBQ, I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get the smell of fish out of the saloon...
Great layout for the size. I like the galley aft, really, but would not disqualify this one for this. I think these "sweetspot" size boats are so clever in terms os space utilization.. great tour as usual. Cheers!
Live the master, it has the feel of a much larger boat. I was thinking that it's a shame there was only one head, when Nick says "oh I forgot the day head". Thanks Nick
Nice! Not sure of the logic of having the barbecue inside the boat! I’d be a bit non-plus’d to be driving the boat with someone griddling their kippers (ooh-err missus) behind my left ear.
Such a huge fan of your videos! I sail on sailing yachts rather than motor yachts, but I’ve always found motor yachts rather exciting! Thanks for putting our great content as per!
My goodness that's a lot of boat for the money. So many features you'd not select on a boat this side. Well Nick, may I call you Nick? Or should it be Sir Nick. Surely you deserve an OBE for your fantastic contribution to the yachting community. 😉 Anyway, another mighty fine job of presenting a boat.
A very nice boat, good solutions for the helm, galley and dining area. Good outside areas which are surprisingly large. Jet ski and tender on a small boat very clever use of space. This is a boat worth having, I like it alot. Stylish and practical. Thanks for the tour, take care and stay safe, keep washing your hands. 👍👍👍🚢🛥⚓⛴🛳☠🚤⛵😎. Nice little cameo from white bag, looking after your water in the cockpit, so no one can spike it and take advantage of you. 🤣😂🤣👍👍👍
Excepting the low head space in the master and the wet bath, this could me my fav in this price range. But ..... i will chose a SH one a little big bigger (46-50 )... Very nice tour ,thank you ,Nick
2:56 Did anyone else clock the foredeck window was coffin-shaped? What a great boat. I like the idea of pod drive. It seems to make more sense than an old fashioned rudder. I am sure there are arguments for and against though.
Shaft and props are much much cheaper to repair if you hit the ocean floor and that happens alot! Pods are a fortune to fix! Thats one disadvantage of pods!
@@baddazzgarage2953 I agree on maintenance, but if you hit the ground, which should never happen, also the repair of a shaft driven boat will cost a fortune.
Forward facing propellers look very strange! Really like Galeon boats, they're among my favourite of your videos, hope you do one of their 780 Crystal one day
Doesn't quite beat the Broom, but very nice indeed - and fair to say it's a tad update in comparison ;-) btw doesn't the aft bench tilt like the helm seat? Certainly looks like it :-D Nice runthrough yet again, Nick - Cheers!!
Congrats on the 150k subs! It's my 3rd week since I subscribed to your channel and I might say, you're one of my favourite TH-camr already. Much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I love your videos, I really do :) Been watching since 2018. I Really wish you would do a Catamaran boat. (Catamaran sailboat is my big big dream) And with you reviewing (hope that is correctly spelled) one would be very nice :) Best regards from Norway
Hi. I do like that helm position, a great use of space indeed. What I would like to see is a partition added, so that the day heads could become apart of the guest cabin. For added convenience for your guests
A lot of boat for your money. Sir approves of everything. Are Galeon boats made in Poland? I seem to remember hearing/reading that somewhere. Nice one Nick. Cheers.
When did you film this? It’s at Hamble Point, and my Lagoon 450 is just off the hammerhead pontoon to STB (which I haven’t seen in person yet!). Great work!
Nick, I assume the seating area on the main deck has a table that lowers to make another bed ... Also, would you consider expanding on the start of this video to create a series of short 'Intro to boats' videos to introduce other things like the pod drives, maybe to include things like radar, autopilots, generators, water makers etc. Maybe also to include maintenance considerations ... Cheers, love your work!
Engine hatch scuppers need a clean ;-) I really can't get with that hinged glass door and window... I've been totally spoiled by the sliding, drop down James Bond affair on the Sunseekers... nothing else will do
I enjoyed the view from the underside. The bathroom in the master is doable, I really don't like wet baths, but this works. You did not say what year. Also did this have a tender and a jet ski? What size tender would fit? Amazing how well kept up the cushions are. Really love the back window folding up.
I’m really not an expert but I’m getting excited watching these videos about great boat but somehow possible for human beings!... but how much a boat like this may cost per year in maintenance/marina parking/taxes? Can someone give a rough figure? Cheers
In general, why are toilets/showers such a thing on pretty much every boat? How many folk are likely to have an uncontrollable need for a roost at the same time? Are boat owners in such a rush everyone on board must shower simultaneously? Of course, I enjoy every minute of Aquaholic but can't help asking the question ;-)
Do you have access to any nice blue water sailing yachts? I find those interesting, proper live-aboard boats in a fairly small form factor. Like some Amels or something. Would be cool to see you tour a few of those!
Great video as always Nick, I wonder if you're up for a challenge? on every boat tour, you need to find a practical hidey-hole on the boat just like the bow thruster on board on this? would be fun???
Hi Nick. Love the headboard design above the bed. Not sure about the coffin shaped window on deck, do like the colour scheme though. Looking goooood for summer boating.
Lovely vessel and a great review but for me it is sacraledge not to have the fly bridge model. Stunning UK weather about to break tomorrow! Best Wishes..
you have to be as flexible as a snake to get about in the engine spaces. I take it the saloon BBQ in an option where a TV would go? A decent amount of space for a boat that can be handled by 2 people, with those IPS drives.
Seems as if you get your money’s worth the less you pay in this instance, great cabins as well as kitchen area and deck space. Lovely fitted furniture and great interior design, very nice boat overall !
Another great video, I was about to go to sleep, then I saw a new one was posted. I don't know, I like the open lay out but I think for that cost and size, I would rather take the princess F45. The wet room toilets are kind of turn off a for me. I get it, they are trying to save space, and I guess you clean the toilet every time you shower, but I don't know if I want to shower where I poop.
We need this even though we're in the middle of the ocean hahaha it's like a quarantine in a boat but we can go land by land quarantine no going outside no plays outside hahaha I love this if I'm the owner hahaha
If I was an owner of this boat, I will turn the wet head into a laundry room with wordrobe on the top and washer/dryer under it. Because if I was the guest, I certainly wouldn't want to brush my teeth while standing in a pool of water. Smaller boats under 40 feet should utilize every inch to add more function to it.
Dear Nick, what a lovely boat. I was especially fund of the master cabine with the colors and headboard. Not to say the rest of the boat is bad! 460,000 seems like a "bargain" for this much boat. I don't think you mentioned what year it is? THank you and stay safe.
i personally prefer entry-level boats than the superyachts because its so cool how they fit the quality furniture in the interior.
@R A neither will you.
It's safe to say that you and your mother don't get along.
Also with these huge super yachts you can’t take them out as often - made for enjoyment not sitting around and not getting used.
Agreed, superyachts are cool but imagine actually having to run one, more crew than actual passengers it seems, like running a small business, nothing leisurely or intimate about it.
I’d keep it outside my house and get the sprogs to make sea noises would save on fuel and boat ware
You know what I like about your videos is that there are no bells n' whistles. Just down to talk about the boat in simple terms, if you use jargon, then you always explain. Quite like this boat, although not sure on the placement of grill.
Yes - you'd want a fair wind whistling through the boat to use that grill...
Agree. No endless rant about blah blah blah. Best boat reviewer on YT, by far
As far as I know, Galeon are pretty customisable. They certainly are on their bigger boats - so you should be able to replace the griddle with a TV unit or whatever.
Grill threw me off as well, prefer it to be in the cockpit so I can use it without opening up all of the deck saloon. Prefer the flybridge yachts as they provide more 'outdoor' space on the boat for wetbar and seating, without compromising the integrity of the weather-tight 'indoor' space.

Really enjoy the entry level boats Nick. Would love to see you doing a walk around private jets. Now that would be awesome!
Agreed!

Hi!!
My wife & I completely agree about the “photo of your loved one by the bed.” Perfect.
This is an incredible package for such a small boat. Absolutely love it.
Congrats on hitting 150k subscribers, your channel is growing really fast.
Thank you so much 😀
@@AQUAHOLIC i LOVE boat luxury i impresionant yate LOVE video :)
200k fast approaching
Favourite boat on the market at the moment + great video.
Thanks! :)
Really? The lower deck galley is super impractical
The front cabin is so bright because of that big glass. I like it.
Yes but will the glass take a good wave over the bow?
A cosy boat, love the layout, could really see myself living on that! (but then I say that about them all) My dream is always a wee Nordhavn, but I also wonder if having a bit more pace would be handy sometimes? I choice sadly I don't anticipate having to make in real life...
Lovely, clever boat, but at this price I'd expect a separate shower/toilet placing.
Thank you for helping me find a goal in life. I'm currently working hard to be able to start charter business. I may not ever actually achieve it but wherever I end up I surely will be accomplished!
Might have done a cheeky speedwatch Nick but that is a stunning boat. And dare i say in the ‘affordable’ range 🤣
LOL yup, funny how I see a price tag under a million & start deluding myself.
Nice manageable sized boat, clever use of space but don't like the bar and griddle being indoors. Imagine if you were cooking fish!
Really enjoyed the tour Nick! Can’t wait for more videos. Also have to be honest I laughed at “the picture of your loved one” hahah cheers!
I almost paused the vid at the 8:33 mark to type that "he forgot the day heads! he forgot the day heads!"....which he did....but got around to it. Silly of me to think that Aquaholic would ever fail in giving a complete and proper tour.
Nick’s not perfect, but pretty darned close to it.
“A photo of your loved one by the bed” - priceless 😅😅
At 8:05 I was just about to ask what was behind the little hatch but you were just to fast for me ;) great tour!
Tender garage on a boat of this size with so much lower deck space and good engine room! Very cool boat
I do like what Galeon do with the space in their boats. That's a really smart layout - a lot of boat in a small package. It looks to be good value considering what you get - I especially like the snug, given it's in addition to two full cabins and two heads! And a tender garage to boot!
My only reservation is the indoor BBQ, I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get the smell of fish out of the saloon...
Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the BBQ - the smell of prawns on the barbie could be vomit inducing in rough weather
I really like that craft. Very nice finish and layout
Great layout for the size. I like the galley aft, really, but would not disqualify this one for this. I think these "sweetspot" size boats are so clever in terms os space utilization.. great tour as usual. Cheers!

Definitly my most favourite boat, still wondering how with 2 Volvo penta ips 500 engines the boat s price is as low als 460 000 £
Praise Odin! Another Aquaholic video has been uploaded!
Mega bang for your buck with style and quality
Nice! Not sure of the logic of having the barbecue inside the boat! I’d be a bit non-plus’d to be driving the boat with someone griddling their kippers (ooh-err missus) behind my left ear.

Would it be possible if you could do a tour on the princess f50 - interested to see how it compares to the Manhattan 52!
A very nice boat, good solutions for the helm, galley and dining area. Good outside areas which are surprisingly large.
Jet ski and tender on a small boat very clever use of space.
This is a boat worth having, I like it alot. Stylish and practical.

Excepting the low head space in the master and the wet bath, this could me my fav in this price range. But ..... i will chose a SH one a little big bigger (46-50 )...
Very nice tour ,thank you ,Nick
“Duality of purpose” - I’m going to adopt that one
Really enjoy the videos but try not to touch anything unless you have gloves on saves your life and everyone else.
Another great Galeon video, Nick! The craftsmanship of the brand is top notch.
Galeon boats seem to offer fantastic value for money.
2:56 Did anyone else clock the foredeck window was coffin-shaped? What a great boat. I like the idea of pod drive. It seems to make more sense than an old fashioned rudder. I am sure there are arguments for and against though.
Maybe it is boat for vampires.
Shaft and props are much much cheaper to repair if you hit the ocean floor and that happens alot! Pods are a fortune to fix! Thats one disadvantage of pods!
@@baddazzgarage2953 I agree on maintenance, but if you hit the ground, which should never happen, also the repair of a shaft driven boat will cost a fortune.
Yes coffee shop spooked me. Thought unlucky for a boat!
coffin shape
Forward facing propellers look very strange!
Really like Galeon boats, they're among my favourite of your videos, hope you do one of their 780 Crystal one day
They're actually more efficient
Love it, so many features, i'll have two please, one for here, the other for the Med, I wish.
Hope you have a picture of your loved ones on your boat too, thanks for the tour.
huge boot for 500k
Uncle make a video on ocean view villas...
Which propellers are more efficient, the forward facing or normal back facing?
Theoretically forward facing as they are operating in clear water, but I'd be surprised if there was a huge difference...
Doesn't quite beat the Broom, but very nice indeed - and fair to say it's a tad update in comparison ;-) btw doesn't the aft bench tilt like the helm seat? Certainly looks like it :-D Nice runthrough yet again, Nick - Cheers!!
I thin k it does, but there seems to be some sort of locking system
Are you filming this during corona virus
This was filmed about a fortnight ago after those unable to work from home were encouraged to go back to work.
COOL! 😎
I sometimes think, "how do they do it for the price"?
Amazing Yacht is just beautiful, very cozy!
Nick, thank you for crawling down into that engine compartment. It looked pretty cramped. Lol. Really nice boat. Tardis effect. .. Z
Impresive boat really like it, a lot of boat for your money excellant tour Nick
Glad you enjoyed it
the best galeon is the 500 fly 2017
The USA about to fall into a anarchy, the rest of the world dealing with coved 19 and you making boat videos.
Stiff upper lip. What

All that in a 42ft boat? Again these other manufacturers showing Princess and Sunseeker how it’s done!
Exellent video Nick, i feel that with this kind of money you can buy an Absolute 47 fly bridge
you have to be as flexible as a snake to get about in the engine spaces. I take it the saloon BBQ in an option where a TV would go? A decent amount of space for a boat that can be handled by 2 people, with those IPS drives.
Gorgeous boat except the heads. Toilet showers are gross; you feel like you're doing a George Costanza every time.
To be honest Nick, there's a lot more to talk about compared to my bus and its runnings. Looks like a boat you can signally manage
Tonight on Top of the Pods, it's Aquaholic :-) nice boat, I need another cabin though looks like i can't get it in this size range...
Can you use it as a Caravan? Pull it with a heavy SUV and then spend the nights WITH a veranda from the high altitude yacht :D
Seems as if you get your money’s worth the less you pay in this instance, great cabins as well as kitchen area and deck space. Lovely fitted furniture and great interior design, very nice boat overall !
Haven't been this late in a while. Still hope you're enjoying this very nice day.

It's all about that lovely lower deck with the little table up the corner. Also that skylight in the front cabin. What a gorgeous little boat.
Very smart boat, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is a win for me. What's the advantage to forward facing props? Is it just for contra rotating props?
Ah I remember the front glass panel on the last Galeon you reviewed; incidentally, that’s the one I’ll buy when I win the lottery.
We need this even though we're in the middle of the ocean hahaha it's like a quarantine in a boat but we can go land by land quarantine no going outside no plays outside hahaha I love this if I'm the owner hahaha
If I was an owner of this boat, I will turn the wet head into a laundry room with wordrobe on the top and washer/dryer under it. Because if I was the guest, I certainly wouldn't want to brush my teeth while standing in a pool of water. Smaller boats under 40 feet should utilize every inch to add more function to it.
I wonder if it’s not that far off to just buy new over possibly buying used with problems that might come up.
All that space for a 42' ???? Are you sure there's not some magic going on ????😉
Could you please do a showing of the 485Hts from Galeon?!
