Best you tube channel on boat's for sure! And the only Chanel that actually drive the boat's he is reviewing, yes I know he is a professional sales man, but I love it regardless.
Well now, here is a fellow that knows what he’s doing. It was a short trip but I learned a lot thank you. I never realised those big boats are so touchy .
Love these types of videos showing you the whole start up and manoeuvre of large vessels. You make it look so easy and would love to see you set up the nav etc and take a boat out to show you how easy it can be done solo (if possible) Another couple of things I’d love to see is the process of how you go about speccing and buying your boat, also how the handover of a boat should be done from dealer to customer on delivery day (if there is such a thing) I know many owners wouldn’t want to be on TH-cam but perhaps a mock up of a boat handover? Great video again and looking forward to your next one whatever it may be 😃
Excellent finally a Yacht channel that actually teaches you something instead of just opening drawers and cupboards and waving at yourself in the mirror.
That's pretty unfair on Aquaholic which is who you're obviously aiming this comment at. Nick's whole MO is purely to showcase the design and functionality of vessels rather than giving people tutorials on how to drive.
@@justininvestor Yes, because that's what he does and specialises in. He also tells you a lot about the boat? I don't get it? He details the engines, the interiors, exteriors.. you're judging his channel by expecting different content to what he makes?
Thank you James for this maneuvering this yacht in the dock area. That was really nice to showing potential purchasing clients and enthusiastic people how to handle your yacht in very tough spots.
Good job! Nice explaining as you go! Make some more videos. Perhaps start up, leave marina and go on a 30-40 minute ocean trip and then arriving and docking at new marina.
Feck this was one of the most nerve wracking videos I've seen in a while. That reversing out of the berth had me clenching. Amazing. Just got yourself a new sub.
What a beautiful toy 👍 After watching you use the bow and stern thrusters undocking out of that tight slip, this gave me the necessary thumbs up to do this myself . Nice job young man 👍
Thank you for another enjoyable and informative video James. It is clear from the ease in which you performed the tricky manoeuvres, shows a confidence obviously gained from several years of handling motor yachts. As a land-lubber who has never been on-board a yacht of this size, much less piloted one, it was nothing short of amazing to me that a 76ft motor yacht could be handled so easily with only small adjustments to the throttles and thrusters. I look forward to your next video.
Well done with that maneuver. I just finished my RYA level 2 at that marina and was doing turns in those finger channels in a RIB like you had in your video. The fact that you did that in a 76 yacht I can only aspire to your level of skill. Well done. 👍
A class act demonstrating some seriously superb seamanship and close-quarter manoeuvres. A fine example of planning and the benefit of dead slow at all times.
I was wondering if you could next time do the docking and manoeuvring by joystick? Would be nice to see that also one time for a large Sunseeker yacht.
Hi Alan, I’m going to do a follow up to this moving her on the joystick, just to show the difference. Personally I prefer conventional controls, but I totally get why some owners prefer the simplicity of just the single joystick.
Very interesting and most enjoyable to watch. Please film every time you move a boat as it is makes for some of the best videos on here. Thank you for posting great content on here.
I about to take possession of an Azimut Atlantis 50, and while I sailed a Hunter 410 for years, 50 with a 55 LOA makes me a bit intimidated at the dock. That was very useful. Thanks!
Imagine doing that without the joystick! VERY, VERY WELL DONE !! I thought if I was ever fortunate enough to own my own yacht it would be between 60’ and 100’. Small enough I could run it myself. After watching this dude I can assure you if I ever do own one I’m gonna have to hire a captain and few crew!
You'd be amazed how quickly you'd get to grips with it, although something much bigger than this would sure be nice to have at least one crew for general cleaning/maintenance/hauling lines etc.
I know Swanwick Marina well, we collected our Princess 56 from there before shipping it to Portugal. Congratulations, that was a seriously tight berth and an exceptional manoeuver, even more so with a GoPro in one hand!
This dude is a smooth operator
Vielen Dank. That was just great to watch
Make no mistake what he just did looks easy but it most definitely is not. Super impressive skills, all while remaining calm.
There's taking a boat out and TAKING A BOAT OUT. Not only driving but narrating. Well done.
Thank you captain

Sorry for my bad English 😬
Awesome driving
Well now, here is a fellow that knows what he’s doing. It was a short trip but I learned a lot thank you. I never realised those big boats are so touchy .
Like in all activities, sports etc - when professionals do it, it looks so smooth and easy! Impressive.
Marvellous, calm and well eloquently explained. Salute.
I’d love to see more vids like this James.
I second this. As much as I like watching the walk throughs I like seeing them in action too.
Agree, these are fantastic and provide a real insight into what it would be like to own of the these (or dream about!!). Keep them coming James!
Skipper know his boat👍 Great driving🥇

Some great ideas here and something I will work towards doing in the future for sure.
Check out my son's docking skills thanks
Brilliant and well presented!
Impressive skills!

@@wesleyfoster3545 he opens drawers and closets and waves at himself . He actually tells u next to nothing about the boat.

Like a Master!
Ty sir I planning on charter a yacht this video was big heal ill subscribe sir
I'd love to do that for a living. I haven't driven a yacht since I done my helmsman course.
That was absolutly facinating! You made it look so easy. GREAT video, thanks.
What a skilled boat driver! Thanks for the in depth narration and simple walk thru! I’d love lessons from someone like you!
I’m retired and have never owned a boat of any size, but I sure do enjoy watching any master of his craft. Outstanding ! 😎
That was cool
Very informative... thanks for the video!
Thank you James for this maneuvering this yacht in the dock area. That was really nice to showing potential purchasing clients and enthusiastic people how to handle your yacht in very tough spots.
More like this!
Stay tuned for some more to come!
Very well done mate.
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent job well done skip !
Good job! Nice explaining as you go!
Make some more videos. Perhaps start up, leave marina and go on a 30-40 minute ocean trip and then arriving and docking at new marina.
I would have crush definetely!!!!!
Feck this was one of the most nerve wracking videos I've seen in a while. That reversing out of the berth had me clenching. Amazing. Just got yourself a new sub.
That looks easy. Try docking a 30’ without power thrusters and six drunks aboard. Not so easy. :). Great skills James.
you make it look easy!
It all looks so easy 👍😀
Awesome maneuvering 👍
Thanks ✌️
What a beautiful toy 👍
After watching you use the bow and stern thrusters undocking out of that tight slip, this gave me the necessary thumbs up to do this myself .
Nice job young man 👍
Lovely boat control
wow you make it look so easy i was sweating just watching
Brilliant Job Captain
Love those maneuver and docking videos you bring.
That was tight slip.....raising the Hat .
Keep them coming please.
Absolutely amazing to watch. Thank you for this.
Fantastic boat handling James
This is a cool video
Is James the manoeuvre master or what? Impressive stuff:-)
Fantastic how you make it near impossible for someone to rule out owner / operator. Well done Captain James Video!
Wow! Great job backing that thing out
Great video love that you show all aspect of boating
Very well done!
Great skills James....You make it look so easy!!!! The art of a good skipper.
James, that was great! Good job! I enjoyed that video & your explanations were awesome ... thank you!
Check out my 9 year old son docking my 41 ft boat thanks
It’s amazing how you were able to film and maneuver at the same time, wow 😮 😅
Great Video James . That looked tight and you made look so easy to manoeuvre out of a tricky situation. 👍👍

Superb boat handling with a comprehensive and precise description of all aspects of your maneuvering. An exceptional presentation. Bravo!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Very instructional video!! Thanks captain!
Superb buddy, really well done.
Capital job and a great instructional video. 👍
Another lovely boat James, love the specification and the fact how simple it is to get in and out of your docking area!
MOT
I was wondering if you could next time do the docking and manoeuvring by joystick?

Nice work James I notice there was a joystick do you prefer just the throttles and thrusters

Cheers James thanks for taking the time to reply
Good job well done…i would like to see another camera on the throttle…will be perfect 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! Yup I have started doing this on my more recent tours and think it gives a good perspective.
Great video, beautiful boat, nice bit of maneuvering, just subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Fantastic video
well done and well handled, very helpful
Excellent skills again James,i appreciate that you show the movements on the throttles,very smooth
Well done cap. Impressive
Another great video james thanks for sharing 😀👍🏻
Yeah well done - as you say slow & steady wins the race. Top job !
I'm amazed at how simple you made that look.
superb driving skills, do more of this please. cracking stuff
Very good video James. I very much enjoy seeing the Sunseeker boats.
Nicely done!
Nice job 👍

No worries at all and good luck with your new boat.

awesome work James, looks like I was doing that manoeuvre but behind the screen, loved the way you handle
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic real world video! Thanks so much.
I know Swanwick Marina well, we collected our Princess 56 from there before shipping it to Portugal. Congratulations, that was a seriously tight berth and an exceptional manoeuver, even more so with a GoPro in one hand!
Thanks! Congrats on the P56, they are a lovely boat.
Great video James!!
Impressive boat handling 👍
Thanks 👍
Excellent video, a nice change to the tours.
Throughly enjoyed this video, simple video but I learned quite a lot. Thank you!
Looks like a beautiful place! Pretty hairy , good thing it wasn’t an 80! Great job, Captain!
Wow, I was holding my breath while you was moving the boat. Excellent boating skills. How long have you had your license as you made that look easy
Love this video, you sure make it look easy.
Fantastic tutorial! Feel like I could almost do it after a few crashes! Ha! Thanks for this. Great handling of that vessel! Cheers! 🍻
I was stressed out just watching!
Nice one, James. Very CCC (Cool, Calm & Collected). Wouldn't like to do that on a day Skippers' exam though. Love these videos.
