What a refreshing change to see normal people enjoying there selfs on a boat instead of the usual body perfect rich class videos u see of charters well done love ya videos and one day hopefully live that dream too ha ha enjoy
Yes indeed. My experience on the water fully backs up what you say. I'd probably take one of those little boats and just cruise the entire bay on my own, soaking up that sun.
Theyre miserable little snots who are just jealous they cant have a good family like this. The boat is secondary the great family is more precious than the awesome relaxation boat
There will always be people with inexplicable opinions - they are most likely in need of help - maybe a good cruise on a yacht would do them good - no wait a minute ……
I have to say Nick. I just had one the craziest interactions with a video in all my life. @7:00 mins in, the boat captain spins the tender around and in one smooth motion he hops off of the tender with line in hand and glides gently up the stairs. I then say to my self WOW it looks like he's done that "before" and at that very moment you pan the camera to show the name of the boat. That was Epic.
yup. This summer I had a Mallorcin charter captain complaining to me about his asian guests, he had no dinghey and he asked me to go pick them up (I was ankered with a sailboat next to them) when they swim to far, they kept doing stupid stuff, drove him nuts ( ;
The only difference would be that the Super Yacht Captain and his crew would be truly happy to have you and your family aboard, while the crew - both captain and the stewardess - of this 48 hour charter seem to be having a bad two days. For crying out loud, are they able to at least crack a smile once in a while? I would have felt very unwelcome with them being so curt and non-smiling.
@@RKapl this are people, not machines. I like it more that they are natural then the hole day with a fake smile. It is apsolutly not importent that they smile non stop, important is, that they do there job and I am sure they do!
It's fun to see you out actually enjoying a boat. Also, you could totally sell charters, because your enthusiasm and presentation really makes the experience look great!
I was smiling the whole time watching this video. The children's laughter, and all the giggles warms the heart. I'm sure the crew had a much more enjoyable time with your family than sone stuck up rich snobs. Another fantastic clip, I really enjoy your videos..
I don’t remember how exactly I found your channel now but it’s the best hidden gem I’ve ever found, your growing so fast and it’s a pleasure to see. Thanks for sharing these videos.
I had a smile on my face during the whole video. Enjoyed watching you and your family having fun. You deserved it. Thankyou for sharing it with us. I felt like I was there with you guys.
I love this, makes me so happy to see a normal family like mine enjoying this fun without all the pretence that often goes with it Love the channel, my wife and I have even visited conwy Marina recently to see these yachts in person
after seeing you doing so many tours (fantastic job at that, looking forward for a thousand more) I just gonna say that I'm finding hard to put into words how much joy this video brings. It's almost like I wonder about it ha! I'm starting my day and there couldn't be a better way to do so. and needless to say, another great video. great all around!
I've only been following your channel for a month, but what a delight to see you and your family experiencing a charter. Thank you for choosing to share your experience with us.
Damn...if i ever get to finance such a boat, then doing such tours and getting paid that kind of money would certainly be worth considering to help paying it off.
@@AQUAHOLIC I noticed on their website that fuel and some other items were extra. Can you let us know what the total costs came out to being? Or if the 16k is the total, what was the breakdown? Thank you so much, and keep up the great content, the whole family loves watching your videos!!
@@bggordon The extras were on top of the £16K. I don't have a total for that yet, but we didn't actually go very far or very fast at all so shouldn't be too much.
That was lovely to see your whole family and you having such a joyous time! I'm so glad you've finally managed to make the dream come true and I'm sure it was a pleasure for the crew having guests that were pleasant and really appreciated everything. Thanks for sharing and hopefully the dream will come true again!
What a down to earth look at your wonderful experience. Kudos to the Crew for allowing us to see them at work to make your time enjoyable. Congratulations on a great family enjoying the company of each other and your time on board. Happy for you all.
This was just absolutely lovely. Thank you for showing us the joy these Yachts can bring as well. Seeing their features the way you do is brilliant, but what's it all for? It's for this. Family, enjoyment, being together. Just a stunning video. Thank you so much. My favorite youtuber at the moment by many knots.
Asking the wife - "are you ok", and she saying, I am more than ok with that smile, I know somebody who got lucky that night, hahahaha, nice to see all so happy.
I think you've hit on a real winner here -- you and your family should review charter boats (the owners would be happy to invite you as you see the positive in everything), the rest of us can live vicariously through you!! Hi from Mooloolaba,
That is just amazing - not the stay on the boat, but your joyous enthusiasm for it. You epitomise what I always say about boats: nobody just likes boating - you only fall head over heels in love with it. The ride back to the yacht on the rib at night was beautiful.
I smiled the entire way through 😁 What a brilliant treat for you and the family, and very much deserved. Looking forward to the video of you with a paddle board off smugglers blues 2 🤞🤞
I really enjoyed watching this ! thank you for giving us a really 'normal' overview of chartering . . . for most people the unknown usually means - not considering but it has certainly given me incentive to consider inviting the family out for a cool weekend ! You all looked like you enjoyed yourselves immensely !
Thanks for letting us in on a little of the 'behind the scenes' family life. I really enjoyed it. I think you also did quite well on the paddle board for the first time trying it. Thanks again. From the land locked center of the USA......
Thats one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen on TH-cam in a long time. Thank you for sharing this, it look absolutely amazing! And I now have a new vacation-idea for my fiancé!
Really happy to see you guys enjoying this experience. You make me feel like yacht chartering is accessible and it isn’t just reserved for upper class which makes me really excited to (hopefully) experience this one day. 👍🏼
This was really fun to watch. I felt like I was there too. You never really see how chartering yachts are for privacy reasons which makes sense but I am happy you shared this with us. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Best family video for memories. Looks like a group that actually knows how to have fun and appreciate what other probably would never enjoy as much.
What a lovely chap you are, and what a lovely family - I don't often think that watching people on a yacht charter. Great to see you all enjoying yourselves, being yourselves. Best of British to you.
Lovely to see you and your family getting the other side of what you video, you deserve every minute 👍🏼👍🏼 I may be a mid 30’s welder from Yorkshire and a biker but I wouldn’t miss a video of yours 👍🏼👍🏼 Stu
Wow how much fun is that, cannot believe the time you guys are having. No prisoners taken on use of the toys. Great hosts how can you want this ever to end. Love it
I really appreciate to show the privacy with family and friends in this video and therefor an understandable look behind the curtain, *how amazing it must be, to have a vacation on an yacht like this.* No bragging, no fake posing with champagne for the perfect insta-post (which is also kind of bragging)...just an ordinary family enojoying time together. Thanks also to the crew, who allowed to be filmed and give a look in their working life.
So much joy and laughter, you just can't put a price on memories like that. Awesome - thanks for sharing those treasured moments with us Nick. And you on that paddle board - the epitome of 'Style and Grace' sir, .. (cheers for a chuckles). Also, great to see what it takes to operate a boat like that.
Well deserved Aquaholic, you produce amazing content on these rich people boats/toys and it is a real pleasure to watch you and your family/friends, everyday normal folk live the dream. this is a 48 hours you will never forget and many thanks for bringing us mortals along for the journey, outstanding!.
What an awesome time you are all having. This time you are spending on the boat give us viewers so much more of an insight to how to put your reviews in perspective. Thank you again for sharing your adventure with us.
Such a great video. As much as I love your channel I don't know you from Adam but I found myself shouting 'go on Nick!' when you started paddle-boarding! Turns out you're a natural. Thanks for all the ongoing videos and stories, one of my favourite channels.
I couldn’t help but smile all the way through this! Absolutely fantastic video, lovely to see normal every day people having a slice of the high life, even for a short time. I didn’t want the video to end.
Amazing video. Im an American from Connecticut USA. Although i will never be able to take my wife and twins on a charter vacation, i had a blast watching you and your family enjoying that time together. Please take advantage of every min that you have on this planet. God bless you and your family.🤙🏼
Aw man, you're making me wish I was back on that 52' Cat my wife and I sailed around BVI for 2 weeks in 2006. I wish I had of those electric runabouts during my SCUBA dive in and around the wreck of the Rhone. And I wish the boat had underwater lights because we spotted and heard a dolphin feeding in the sand under us in about 3 meters depth at Peter Island after sunset while we were at anchor and prepping up a big pasta dish with shrimp and clams and spinach, carrot matchsticks, cherry tomatoes to rebuild us from the sailing, long snorkeling around various little sandy cays, and a 45 minute hike/climb around huge rocks. We heard the dolphin splashing around the port hull when it came up for a breath and chew on whatever little white flounder-looking fish trying to hide in the sand which it did a little echo-location to find and dig out to immediately chomp on. Before my wife could turn around, I was already on the port stern, in my trunks and snorkle gear with my underwater torch in hand, and slipping down between hulls to have myself a quick bit of adventure. The creature was initially a bit annoyed at my potentially muscling in on its meal, and let me know immediately it was prepared to fight me for its claim on what looked to be choice hunting ground (wouldn't dream of it my ocean-going friend, and you would handily pop me into traction if I tried). This one was just cleaning house, making me so glad I wasn't one of those little white flounder-looking fish who could only bury myself under a centimeter of sand that might as well just have a neon sign with a big flashing red arrow pointing down and the sign saying, in dolphinese, "FISH RIGHT HERE!!" So I just slid down the scoped-out anchor chain as far as I could while still keeping the tip of my snorkel just above the water, and illuminated myself with the little torch I had. After about 10 minutes of cruising past me, each time appearing more relaxed than the last, the ever-smiling fellow(?) came slowly over to have a bit more of a Captain Cook about me. Apparently satisfied, he then did a few more slow passes with the last close and slow enough for my outstretched hand to just brush its skin. He then took off like a rocket into the inky black. I almost wish I had nicked a few shrimp and maybe a couple clams from the box before dipping in to perhaps help make a new friend. But, then again, trying to feed an ocean mammal seafood that's gone through some processing probably isn't the best idea. Just by itself, that was truly quite the blessed experience most people never have bestowed upon them. That entire trip was a blast from beginning to end. Just being able to moor up at the home of Pusser's rum - the reason for taking and holding BVI: To secure the sugar cane required to ensure the flow of the daily tot of grog - in Cane Garden Bay and spend 48 hours was extraordinary. I did get a bit into my cups of Pusser's those nights, with rum punch, rum cola and a healthy bit of fresh lime from a wedge, etc. I can't remember, and lots of fantastic local fish. The British Virgin Isles are a MUST for any ocean lover!
You are such an amazing host. You've seen it all, from cabins 5 times the size of my entire house and boats costing over $50M. But you still get amazed with the smaller boats (not talking about this amazing boat but small ones) and basic stuff. I'm not into boating and know nothing about yachts but your enthusiasm just keeps me watching for hours. Thanks, I hope you get to experience more of these great trips!
This was a joy to watch - I need to echo other comments that it was so nice to see people enjoying these lovely boats - and meet the family! This was fascinating and felt like we were along with you all. Added a real human element to the tours you do. Thank you ☺️
Many, many thanks for this. Your family's laughter at your stellar paddle board endeavours was infectious, I couldn't help but laugh long and hard (with them, not at you) .
As delighted as I was to see you guys really enjoy this (hopefully) free perk of the job - which you fully deserve and, indeed, would be quite astute business too by the charter company - my abiding thoughts were how happy I'm sure the crew were to have lovely appreciative 'ordinary' people on board to look after instead of the utter tools they may normally have with them - I've known and dealt with quite a few of these individuals in another life and I promise you, you just don't want to be looking after these folks GENERALLY (and I'm sure there's exceptions) speaking ;-)
"So.... we've had a nice relaxing hour or two............." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'd say you did brother, I'd say you did on that ship - and rightly so too - one simply couldn't pass up that chance 😎
I really enjoyed the video - great insight into what it's like to charter. Always thought it would be a sensible thing to do before making any sort of purchase. Yes it's a lot of money for 2 nights but you all had a taste of the high life and experienced the millionaire lifestyle. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
Just been binge watching smugglers blues 2,and the charter, I couldn't be more happy for you, you seemed so happy but emotional to leave it,when the right boat comes along we will be boating,and our 3yr Granddaughter,is keen she has started watching aquaholic with us,and tells us what one we should get bless her xx
I am enjoying your channel since a few months, and this was really lovely to see! An indepth review on how it is to live on one of those yachts. Best channel! Greetings from Sweden.
Nick, It was great to meet your family and show us what it's like to charter a boat. Real eye-opener. Love your videos, You are the person I prefer to watch (you and NautiStyles). Hats off to the crew.
Even it is already more than a year ago, I still feel so happy for you all. Just pure enjoyment. So cool... laughing, doing stupid things, I like it, honestly, so much. You all really deserved that. And the knee paddler... priceless.
Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Couldnt stop smiling watching you & yours enjoying your selves & getting to see what life aboard a MY would be like. Love your family, infectious smiles. Thank you
Water temperature -5 ºC. Irishman getting in to the water: Oh it is so warm... :) Thank you very much for sharing this video. I really didn't expect this normal video. Glad for you and your family. Cheers.
wow! i just said something like that too, they will never forget, its not simple.. its luxury, but people remember simple things too .. just look at those dishes alone, very impressive giving the price of charter
I don't think I've ever felt so happy for someone else :)) Lovely family and a great crew as well. Enjoy!
Totally agree with you. Lovely family.
That really was enjoyable, watched the whole video with a smile. Thank you.
Indeed watching on my flat screen I feel I was there with them.
Pukka stuff
Ff
Oh wow, I was thinking that exact thought. That amazin family will cherish those sweet memories for centuries.
What a refreshing change to see normal people enjoying there selfs on a boat instead of the usual body perfect rich class videos u see of charters well done love ya videos and one day hopefully live that dream too ha ha enjoy
Well said!
To be honest, this makes me want a yacht a lot more than those fancy polished marketing videos.
Themselves**** not there selfs.
Sir Dick Little Sorry, still had my keyboard set to German so it auto corrected. Not gonna lie though, it’s the internet, not like I care.
Yes indeed. My experience on the water fully backs up what you say. I'd probably take one of those little boats and just cruise the entire bay on my own, soaking up that sun.
thank you for letting us share this dream with you
greeting from Morocco
Hey there Morocco! :)
What are 117 people doing!?! Why would someone dislike this man whose heart is bigger than the biggest yacht he has ever showed to us?!?
Theyre miserable little snots who are just jealous they cant have a good family like this. The boat is secondary the great family is more precious than the awesome relaxation boat
TheAllaksion but the boat is nice!!!
Agreed 100%
There will always be people with inexplicable opinions - they are most likely in need of help - maybe a good cruise on a yacht would do them good - no wait a minute ……
Its up to 199 now, ya cant fix stupid lol
I have to say Nick.

I'm sure Super Yacht Captain would be glad to have guests like you on board...!
I'll have to ask him! :D
yup. This summer I had a Mallorcin charter captain complaining to me about his asian guests, he had no dinghey and he asked me to go pick them up (I was ankered with a sailboat next to them) when they swim to far, they kept doing stupid stuff, drove him nuts ( ;

Another fantastic clip, I really enjoy your videos..
Amen Exactly, love Nick and his family & video's
If any one deserves this you and your family certainly did. Looks great and hope you had the time of your life 👍
That is exactly what it was :)
did something happen prior to this ?
I agree, this man is very cool
good aviation122
oh
HERE HERE. I want to say that is a hapoy family and you earned every second every minute of enjoyment!

oh man that was great, good people having fun, nothing beats that!!!
Your joy around boating makes people that don't even have boats want to boat. Amazing. Great family. You rule man.
I appreciate that!

£16k for 48 hours is obviously a lot but you do get quite a bit for the money and it really is a unique experience. jealous of course
Bear in mind, that's eight people too.
That's £1,000 per day each inc food to use a floating caravan.
Damn...if i ever get to finance such a boat, then doing such tours and getting paid that kind of money would certainly be worth considering to help paying it off.
@@AQUAHOLIC I noticed on their website that fuel and some other items were extra. Can you let us know what the total costs came out to being? Or if the 16k is the total, what was the breakdown? Thank you so much, and keep up the great content, the whole family loves watching your videos!!
@@bggordon The extras were on top of the £16K. I don't have a total for that yet, but we didn't actually go very far or very fast at all so shouldn't be too much.

The sea bob selfie clip is hilarious!
I almost fell off my chair watching that , so funny ... brilliant 🤣🤣🤣😆👌🏻
After all these years doing boat reviews and work on MBM at last you get to have some real fun. Brilliant.
Amazing insight into what its actually like to be aboard. Very jealous it looks awesome. Can't wait for the next installment.
It's amazing how much of a smile it puts on my face to watch you & your family enjoy this wonderful charter vicariously thru your go pro.

What a brilliant treat for you and the family, and very much deserved.
Looking forward to the video of you with a paddle board off smugglers blues 2 🤞🤞

Finally after presenting all of the fabulous boats to us you get to experience one yourself.
actually a really enoyable watch seeing you and your family laughing, having fun and enjoying a holiday. Nice to see! All the best.
Great video. Best family video for memories. Looks like a group that actually knows how to have fun and appreciate what other probably would never enjoy as much.
Couldn’t help smiling throughout the video. It’s great to see you and the family enjoying what you review every week. Loving the videos
Thanks Charlie!
That looks like pure heaven, I can see why the well heeled buy them.
I seriously love how humble and excited you are and get. Great overview.
This video makes me very happy. Please take more vacations like this and take us with you this way again.
These are the moments that are with you on your deathbed - not the money you didn't spend. Epic video, Nick. I'm so happy for you and your folks.
What a lovely chap you are, and what a lovely family - I don't often think that watching people on a yacht charter. Great to see you all enjoying yourselves, being yourselves. Best of British to you.

Just being able to moor up at the home of Pusser's rum - the reason for taking and holding BVI: To secure the sugar cane required to ensure the flow of the daily tot of grog - in Cane Garden Bay and spend 48 hours was extraordinary. I did get a bit into my cups of Pusser's those nights, with rum punch, rum cola and a healthy bit of fresh lime from a wedge, etc. I can't remember, and lots of fantastic local fish. The British Virgin Isles are a MUST for any ocean lover!
That's an incredible story. I would never get into the water with a dolphin that could probably bite me in half.
You are such an amazing host. You've seen it all, from cabins 5 times the size of my entire house and boats costing over $50M. But you still get amazed with the smaller boats (not talking about this amazing boat but small ones) and basic stuff. I'm not into boating and know nothing about yachts but your enthusiasm just keeps me watching for hours.
Thanks, I hope you get to experience more of these great trips!
What a fantastic experience. Enjoy. Thanks for all your great videos.
You're very welcome, thanks for watching! :)
This was a joy to watch - I need to echo other comments that it was so nice to see people enjoying these lovely boats - and meet the family! This was fascinating and felt like we were along with you all. Added a real human element to the tours you do. Thank you ☺️
You’re very kind, thank you 🙂
Wow...what an amazing mini break!! Just looks incredible (and well deserved 😁)
Happy memories.
This is life goals. Giving your children a wonderfull treat and all. Not many families , even millionaires, have such a warm family relationship
Many, many thanks for this. Your family's laughter at your stellar paddle board endeavours was infectious, I couldn't help but laugh long and hard (with them, not at you) .
They were laughing at me, so it amounts to the same, haha! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
@@AQUAHOLIC We 💖love ya Nick
First time ever seeing the guests point of view on a charter, Thanks
As delighted as I was to see you guys really enjoy this (hopefully) free perk of the job - which you fully deserve and, indeed, would be quite astute business too by the charter company - my abiding thoughts were how happy I'm sure the crew were to have lovely appreciative 'ordinary' people on board to look after instead of the utter tools they may normally have with them - I've known and dealt with quite a few of these individuals in another life and I promise you, you just don't want to be looking after these folks GENERALLY (and I'm sure there's exceptions) speaking ;-)
"So.... we've had a nice relaxing hour or two............." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'd say you did brother, I'd say you did on that ship - and rightly so too - one simply couldn't pass up that chance 😎
No comment
AQUAHOLIC no need 😎
Never realized I was feeling happy watching another bunch of families enjoying life out on the waters. You made my day.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
That looks like it was a whole heap of fun! You really captured the moments well.
I am so jealous. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I really enjoyed the video - great insight into what it's like to charter. Always thought it would be a sensible thing to do before making any sort of purchase. Yes it's a lot of money for 2 nights but you all had a taste of the high life and experienced the millionaire lifestyle. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
Lost count of how many times I've watched this one, lovely to see you all having fun and enjoying yourselves x
Now that's a holiday experience to remember great to see yous all having fun on your busman's holiday
Just been binge watching smugglers blues 2,and the charter, I couldn't be more happy for you, you seemed so happy but emotional to leave it,when the right boat comes along we will be boating,and our 3yr Granddaughter,is keen she has started watching aquaholic with us,and tells us what one we should get bless her xx
Awesome! Good luck 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC Thankyou xx
I am enjoying your channel since a few months, and this was really lovely to see! An indepth review on how it is to live on one of those yachts. Best channel! Greetings from Sweden.
Hey there Sweden! :)
You are a very blessed man. A dream job and a beautiful family. I am very happy for you. Thanks for bringing us along!
I think I’ve enjoyed this as much as you did making it! It looked fantastic!!
Nick, It was great to meet your family and show us what it's like to charter a boat. Real eye-opener. Love your videos, You are the person I prefer to watch (you and NautiStyles). Hats off to the crew.
well deserved after all the hard work you put in, about time you got something back.....
Even it is already more than a year ago, I still feel so happy for you all. Just pure enjoyment. So cool... laughing, doing stupid things, I like it, honestly, so much. You all really deserved that. And the knee paddler... priceless.
Thank you :)
I could feel all the fun you guys had just by watching this. Made my day, very glad the dream came true❤
Perks of the job hey. So glad you were able to take your family on such a memorable experience, but better yet, share it with us. Thanks.
It was so much fun seeing you and your family having a blast!
Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Couldnt stop smiling watching you & yours enjoying your selves & getting to see what life aboard a MY would be like. Love your family, infectious smiles. Thank you
Water temperature -5 ºC. Irishman getting in to the water: Oh it is so warm... :) Thank you very much for sharing this video. I really didn't expect this normal video. Glad for you and your family. Cheers.
What a beautiful and refreshing video. I smiled all the way through. Lovely, genuine family enjoing time together. Thanks for making my day.
Looks like a lifetime memory for you and your family. Well done.
wow! i just said something like that too, they will never forget, its not simple.. its luxury, but people remember simple things too .. just look at those dishes alone, very impressive giving the price of charter
If this was a freebie I can't think of anyone else who deserves it more. Great to see you and your family having so much fun
What a wonderful video! Such a lovely insight into the 'life on the sea'
Another stunning video mate!
Such a lovely scene, I can’t stop smiling. Wonderful group and just great to see the Yachting experience in action.
