David, as a former Marine Carpenter back in the '90s working for teak decking systems out of Sarasota, I was always in awe of the designs of the high-end yachts coming out at that time. They always reminded me of a private resort or golf club with their layout and materials used. It's reminiscent of sitting in a clubhouse having your cocktails and ordering a high-end meal. Wonderful presentation of a jewel.
What a beautiful lady she is indeed. David, you always impress me with your choices of content. The yachts you showcase are among of the nicest that can be found. It shouldn't be overlooked that your knowledge built over the years is a benefit you freely give in each video. Well Done Sir. Hello from St. Louis Missouri USA
Hi David. I feel your enthusiasm whilst describing this beauty. Same Captain15 years with loads of history. In immaculate condition and a truly world traveller. Awesome video thanks 😊
I'm young enough that I wasn't around when this Yacht was built, but old enough to remember design like this from when I grew up (born in 94). She is a beautiful superyacht, even if she isn't the newest or fanciest yacht on the market. I appreciate this Yacht video, and I didn't think I would at the start. Interesting to know for new 70' boat money you can have a beautiful older larger vessel like this.
First thing I noticed was impressively-sized lounge windows - for the age; it's surprisingly light in there. Unsurprisingly cabin windows are small, but they tended to be on A-class ocean yachts in that era - the tech has advanced over the decades, but they do appear to be relatively large for _opening_ portholes though. The four bunks is very useful for "storing children" without using up proper berths (evil laugh). Fully aft docking stations are also useful for helping fishermen for trolling, it seems like the Japanese guy was a fisherman too by his notes. Great boat, great story.
Little wonder the captain has stayed with the yacht for 15 years those crew quarters are amongst the best I’ve seen, the captain’s cabin is without doubt the best I’ve ever seen. Lovely older well maintained yacht with a little bit of updating would be a very attractive prospect.
David, you should have a warning at the beginning of this video. I was drooling through most of this. If you would only WARN me, I could have had a small towel at the ready. [Snerk] Beautiful ship and mind-blowing presentation.
Great value for the money. An older but lovingly cared for boat. I love the whole "look" of this lady. Beautiful woodwork. That chart would be great to find the best fishing and crabbing spots along the Alaska coast. Classy presentation as always David.
Absolutely stunning yacht. In my 25 year obsession with cruising yachts/trawler yachts I have to say this is one of the finest I have seen. I'm not in love with everything....but it's damn near 100%. The engine room was superb, I'd want more analogue instrumentation on the bridge and the severe backward rake of the windows would be reflection hell...there were two dining spaces which seemed unnecessary....and I'd want to lose the hard top... but I'm going to watch this again and again because this is a truly superb yacht. Thanks you so much for this.
WOW, that looks brand new!!! Everywhere! As a buyer, you'd want to get on with the captain, as I'd hate to separate him from his vessel! 🤣 Nice exposé of this one again David.
what a lovely yacht and story. This is so much better than the overdecorated ego-fueled versions. The master suite is very modest and yet comfortable. They put space and luxury where it mattered (like the family style kitchen with table). It may need some updating, but I think it's beautiful just as it is.
Always watching your posts. They are all very well done and much appreciated. Only chip in occasionally 😁 Look forward to connecting live for a pint one day. Cheers Henry
Lovely boat at a reasonable price. Having cruised North from Seattle many times I totally understand the attraction. Absolutely ideal cruising grounds and this looks like an ideal boat to do it on!
beautiful yacht. the problem is that people with super yacht money like to follow current trends. this yacht has a timeless appeal and will never truly go out of style.
I live the way you and the video crew did this production. Very personalized from the captains prospective. The lighting was great also. Use of the sun and shadows to help with the transition! Only bad thing in the video was the mic rubbing and that’s me being picky! Love the work you all do! You can tell you all take a lot of time and planning on these. Coming from a guy who shoots yachts ! I really appreciate the effort you all do and always look forward to seeing what’s next!!!
Beautiful lines...sweet and charming. I used to have 55 ft Stephes. Teak and gorgeous "Summer Place" was her name. Newport Beach and Balboa Bay Club. Great life when it was.
David. I think this is the most professional boat review i have watched. The craft is magnificent but your choice of content and presentation in 14 minutes is first class. Thank you. Mike from South Africa, Transkei South Coast

4000 nm range?! That's very impressive for a yacht of that size. I'm just guessing but to achieve 4000 nm, the cruising speed would be about 8 knots per hour?
This is before Chirstensen got those very awkward looking hulls with those odd chines high on the bow - those are ugly. This is a good looking boat with very good bones for a light-touch interior refit.
I've enjoyed your tours for over a year now and find I wasn't Subscribed by TH-cam error.Please check your status viewers.TY.That's a wonderful ship,and great stories to go with it.I would love to be the next steward of it as long as I could.
Beautiful American classic yacht. David your presentations keep getting better in each video! BTW... nice Ulysse Nardin diver chronograph on the wrist 😉
I normally don't like the American obsession with wood everywhere. This ship suits it though. It looks magnificent and it's cruising capabilities are brilliant. Can I afford it? Not sure, Alaska.
Very nice overall, but I think perhaps a little underpowered. I recognize that's great for longevity as well as cruise distance - but 1500 hp just doesn't seem adequate for a vessel of this size.
@@garydavenport3684 8 knots is typical for a displacement cruising, that it can chug along at 12 is impressive; to go much beyond that starts to require _exponentially_ more fuel and hp.
Well, I was going to say "Juneau is not an island" but I looked it up, and the 4 acre island that is now part of the breakwater at Douglas Harbor used to be an island and for about 10 years starting in the 1800's it was called "juneau island."
I think the Captain would be very disappointed if I purchased this yacht. I would have no intention of going to Alaska. The Bahamas and South Florida are much more my speed.
The Cap might be interested in a chance of scenery. That said you might be a bit better off with a large power catamaran, lots of shallow bays and channels that catamarans can get into that yachts and superyachts can't.
This boat oozes class out of every pore. Class is so rare today in a yacht. It used to be common. Now most super yachts look like a cross between a running shoe and an electric toothbrush. What went wrong?
Nice. I was especially interested in what you said about chartering the boat when we are not using it. That would make it so much more affordable. Details? WHat are the economics of doing this?
I prefer that one over more modern ones twice the price. Sorry to be a pedant but those black and white critters in the pod were not whales, they were Orca`s, largest member of the Dolphin family.
I am interested as to what the yearly cost is for this yacht? Considering there is a Captain, likely an mechanical engineer, a chef, and a deck hand. Not to mention the insurance, fuel costs, and other items like maintenance.
I watched a review of such and a Captain is usually $60K yearly,and if an engineer also,as I suspect is the current case,$80k.Diesel in US is @$5 per gal.Chefs @$40k,or can get as needed.Deckhands/stewards @$35-45k depending on duties.Over 80ft ships require live-aboard person,or persons.Everything else is still 'Yikes',but Chartering helps cover some costs when you're not onboard.Just figure $150.k yearly and then add fuel and food when you're aboard and cruising.
Marine diesel is different than your diesel at the pump. Current marine diesel prices in the US are $7.45 per gallon on the east coast. West coast is almost $11. You can't really apply the '10% rule' to boats as old as this one is. They have many different issues when they get this old.
Amazing boat, honestly just what I would be looking for if I was prepared to officially have my own private research vessel. (Science can be done in comfort as well)
If you are serious about doing research, Heesen yachts has a program where they take people that want to do scientific research and get them on a yacht that is going to the area they are going to research. I guess the yacht owner gets some sort of deal on fuel or something if they are involved in scientific research, or get to write off the voyage on their taxes. No clue, I've heard varying reports.They are also exempt from certain rules too. I don't know what you have to pay, if anything, or what you have to do, but they have that program and work with other companies that offer it too. Nordhavn also has a program where they pair up people doing research with yacht owners traveling to certain locations. These boats usually don't have staff and I think you might have to provide your own food, but a lot of Nordhavn owners, as I'm sure you know, take their boats everywhere. But 2 good places to start if you are serious.
lovely boat BUT that cockpit looks about 8 to 10 feet which now makes this boat a 105 foot.. the swim platform is fine, i had stainless rails around my swim platform, useful for boarding from a dinghy and diving to free some crab pot line from your props.. 🙂
Would be a great yacht for charter, but...................how many hours do these engines have ? With so much extensive traveling the engines must have used up a lot of their life time. Any info about the remaining hours before overhaul ?
Have to agree, a very lovely boat. Would have been nice to see 1 more crew cabin for a senior crew and the access from the water is ok if you are young & fit not so much if you're old & fat. lol. Cruising of 4,000nm @ 12nts is great.

True American cruiser, that has been lived in and loved. Books everywhere, and real honest maps. Tells you all you need to know really 😊
Spot on. What a wonderful yacht, with a wonderful story!
Not at all surprised the captain has stayed with this beautiful yacht for 15 years. Wishing him many more incredible voyages with his new owner.
Low cost, low maintenance, happy captain and ‘proven’ ability ......what’s not to like! 👏
What a beautiful lady she is indeed.

Hello from St. Louis Missouri USA
Thanks David - very much appreciated.
Usually dont like the old dark wooden interiors... this here is another level. Very stylish, very nice!
Very nice David, the older yachts are so regal in the water, she has an impressive range and great value for money.
Hi David. I feel your enthusiasm whilst describing this beauty. Same Captain15 years with loads of history. In immaculate condition and a truly world traveller. Awesome video thanks 😊
$3 mill isn’t pocket change but what fantastic value it is! Just lovely.
The price is reasonable but the ongoings are horrendous.

12 knots
The decor is definitely early 90's, but its so pristine I'd feel bad updating it.
Great range for a smaller vessel. Nice boat

That’s the coziest bunk bed room I’ve ever seen.
That seating and sport deck are lovely. And you said "salon" and not "saloon!"
I love the old school American Yachts like these and 90s Bowards. And Burgers. They stand out so much more than Johnsons and Italian yachts
Magnificent
Great Tour, Thanks.

Dreamboat. So much more appealing, to me, than the flashy, modern types.
Substance over style. Oh no, hold on, she's stylish too :)
