Hi James. I love Fairline yachts and Princess. Both iconic British brands and as you said, a long history with Fairline with an extensive range of yachts. Beautiful craftsmanship and attention to detail. Factory tour absolutely. Great video thanks 😊
Nicely balanced and nuanced video...positive about the future but keeping good links with the past..to both Princess and Princess owners. That shows a mature attitude, which, mixed with humour and a little humility (I detest arrogance) is very refreshing to see in not just UK company but more importantly one whose HQ is in my home county of Essex. I wish you every success with your renewed link with Fairline. I didn't guess Fairline as I thought it unlikely you would return to a company you formerly were agent for. That further shows what good relationships your company must keep.👌
Ah some kind words David- thank you. Yes we do believe in good business relationships even when circumstances change. I have nothing but praise for Princess/PMYS/ Argo - they truly were gentleman but it was time to move onto new challenges 🥳🥳
Congratulations James and team, good move, in future videos can you give fuel consumption figures at a range of speeds, also state sizes of beds (important to 6ft 4" 17st guys) cheers.
So it's not a free Princess for every subscriber... I'll be more than happy with the Squadron 68 instead of the Princess 62 fly. Looking forward to your unique reviews coming to Fairline. Good luck with the new contract.
Hello, I have found in here in Croatia a interessting Princess 38 Fly (1984). I try to see some videos on YT and I found only one what show the 38 on sea. On this video it seems like the maritime possibilitis of this vessel are not so good, thats why want to ask you if you have some experience on such a old Princess? How is the seakeeping of such a vessel.
Princess: Pls, don't go! James, we need you here! James: In my next video, I will demonstrate your human-trafiick crew cabin again. Pincess: OK. You can go now.
Sorry James, I can only press the subscribe button the once, 😂 I do love a Fairline, 👌 For an awful minute I thought there wasn’t going to be anymore shout windows or flossing! Phew 😂
Great question Nick. Jimmy will be working with us to give you the best sales and service in the Balearic Islands. You have bought a great boat from a great dealer and we will give you both an even better experience. Dm me if you need any further information james@boats.co.uk 😊
Congrats for the new chapter. Is it not possible to sell both ? I have't seen many Fairlines so will be interesting to see a 3rd make, I love Sunseeker and Princess, lets hope I love Fairlines also. Cant wait for your great videos as they are always fun.
Yes - in the same category. As you know we are dealers for Williams, parker , Searay , Kawasaki and Fairline. All these brands compliment each other - they don’t compete with each other. This keeps us (and you) sane 😉
Does the youchting industry build boats to a safety code for escape purposes for example ,it would be interesting to people to know. Perhaps you could answer this. Like your vids keep them coming.
Thanks for all the great vids and good luck with your new adventure. I’m looking forward to the fairline reviews as you have always mentioned how highly you rate them but I’ve not seen many reviews on new ones. Happy flossing (hopefully!).
I’m prepared to pay a bit more if Fairline agreed to giving the doors 7 coats of lacquer instead of their usual 6 , do you know if this is possible ? 😃
Perhaps in hindsight, it was a good move? Princess lost 40 million last year? Something wrong with their business plan, or is it their declining quality mayhaps?
Great news good luck with the new venture not that you'll need it and as soon as am ready for my new yacht I'll be down to see you, after the lottery win of course 😀
For some reason the net seems to be flooded with Princess and Sunseeker videos, reviews and adverts, but not much on Fairlne and the OTHER ex British brand Sealine…. Especially new models…. More details on the factory and new models, please! Also…GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
Really enjoyed the content so far but fear you have committed TH-cam suicide moving from Princess. Fairline are good but not in the same league as Princess, maybe the new models can close the gap!!
Looking forward to demonstrations for the sock sofas and the shout windows.
They are coming ! 😂
Thanks for your answer, you are the only one to bother to reply shows me you are an honest person , hope you you do well with your new venture.
Thanks Peter 😊
Wish you all the best and keep videos coming!
Thanks Stuart 🥳

Thanks Chris 🥳
Let's all pop up a 🍾 and raise a 🥂 for Jim and his loved ones and wish him all the best for any future endeavors, funky socks and floss tests😏
Thanks Kataro 🥳

Welcome on board James! Matthew Peacock
Thanks Matthew. It’s great to be back representing the brand . 😊
I'm glad to see you guys are back with Fairline.
Thanks Lee. Great brand as we have always said 😎
congrats on your return to Fairline. Wishing you much success.
Thanks Patrick 🥳
Wish you and your team a lot of succes!
Congratulations James and team, good move, in future videos can you give fuel consumption figures at a range of speeds, also state sizes of beds (important to 6ft 4" 17st guys) cheers.
Yes I could do a bed test. I am similar weight but 6’1” 😎
I love both Fairlane and Princess. Can't wait to see what is to come next in the future.
Lots of exciting stuff to come !
If it’s possible, I think it would be great to see much more of a comprehensive factory tour.
I will ask
So it's not a free Princess for every subscriber... I'll be more than happy with the Squadron 68 instead of the Princess 62 fly. Looking forward to your unique reviews coming to Fairline. Good luck with the new contract.
Thanks Easy 😎

Hi - I have sold these but not for awhile. A good , strong and simple boat. Best to get a survey .
Congratulations team 🥂🏅🥂
Congrats guys !! I bought my fairline squadron 58 from you ! Sell me something nice again!
Thanks Andrew!
Congrats 👏🏻
Princess: Pls, don't go! James, we need you here!
James: In my next video, I will demonstrate your human-trafiick crew cabin again.
Pincess: OK. You can go now.
😂😂😂
Sorry James, I can only press the subscribe button the once, 😂
I do love a Fairline, 👌
For an awful minute I thought there wasn’t going to be anymore shout windows or flossing! Phew 😂
Lots more shout windows to test !
You didn’t mention the 52 targa …which I have ..are they discontinued?
Yes discontinued- now Targa 50 😊
We've just purchased a Fairline from Jimmy at MU Marine in Portals, how does the relationship work with them?
Great question Nick. Jimmy will be working with us to give you the best sales and service in the Balearic Islands. You have bought a great boat from a great dealer and we will give you both an even better experience. Dm me if you need any further information james@boats.co.uk 😊
well I was going to come down next year to talk to you about some princesses now I guess it'll be Fairlines :)
Or used Princess 😂
Congrats for the new chapter. Is it not possible to sell both ? I have't seen many Fairlines so will be interesting to see a 3rd make, I love Sunseeker and Princess, lets hope I love Fairlines also. Cant wait for your great videos as they are always fun.
Lots of new Fairline videos coming up Jules 🥳🥳
Well done that man
Looking forward to seeing the test & review on the Fline 33
I will review all the boats for you 😎
Congrats 👏 on the new / old direction 👏
Thank you 😂
Great to hear the anouncement! Are they still built in England?
Yes hand built in Oundle, Northamptonshire 😊
Are you only allowed to be a dealer for one company?
Yes - in the same category. As you know we are dealers for Williams, parker , Searay , Kawasaki and Fairline. All these brands compliment each other - they don’t compete with each other. This keeps us (and you) sane 😉
I am stunned and quite frankly shocked at the complete lack of PPE not being used at this factory.
Uk rules are always followed. Also when filming - some equipment is removed for best picture.
Get a life 🤔
Gorgeous yachts, but looking at Fairline factory location, you're quite land locked. So boats are moved by road.
Yes all boats are moved by truck to Ipswich and water tested there before being shipped to dealers 😊
Does the youchting industry build boats to a safety code for escape purposes for example ,it would be interesting to people to know. Perhaps you could answer this. Like your vids keep them coming.
Yes uk boats are built to European CE code which caters for safety etc. Some boats have escape hatches in cabins etc 😊
What do you think of Cranchi?
I think they are good boats - similar in quality to Sealine. Some models much better than others 😉
Thanks for all the great vids and good luck with your new adventure. I’m looking forward to the fairline reviews as you have always mentioned how highly you rate them but I’ve not seen many reviews on new ones. Happy flossing (hopefully!).
Some cracking Fairline vids being lined up 😎
I’m prepared to pay a bit more if Fairline agreed to giving the doors 7 coats of lacquer instead of their usual 6 , do you know if this is possible ? 😃
Anything is possible Stuart 👌
Perhaps in hindsight, it was a good move? Princess lost 40 million last year? Something wrong with their business plan, or is it their declining quality mayhaps?
Princess is a great brand like Fairline and I am sure they will be back with a bang soon 😊
Do you need a rep in Ireland
Yes of course- please email sales@boats.co.uk and we will forward to the factory 🏭
Non-boat question: What's your watch? Looks nice.
Looks like a Rolex Batman!
Yes it’s a Batman- really comfortable and easy on the eye 👁
@@Popmeh Good eye you've got there!!
Wow- why no Electric Solar- my god the noise and diesel fumes😳
Boats are very heavy and the water creates huge friction at speed on cruisers - electric cannot give enough power yet
Bra val jag gillar fairline.
Great news, love fairline!
Thanks Jim !
U have been done! The Balearics are not in the east coast of England!
I thought they were 😂
Great news good luck with the new venture not that you'll need it and as soon as am ready for my new yacht I'll be down to see you, after the lottery win of course 😀
You don’t need a lottery win to buy from us. Boats start at £5,000 🥳
Change your shoes mate. What are they?
I agree - Nike trainers
For some reason the net seems to be flooded with Princess and Sunseeker videos, reviews and adverts, but not much on Fairlne and the OTHER ex British brand Sealine…. Especially new models….
More details on the factory and new models, please! Also…GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
We will change that - don’t worry 😉
no fancy socks mate
Next week 😂
Simple fairline are the best
Thank you 🙏
Hi. Funny and informative. Suggestion get a better camera. Your white balance is just wrong. Too much white. All images blend.
Yes I know - will do
Really enjoyed the content so far but fear you have committed TH-cam suicide moving from Princess.
Fairline are good but not in the same league as Princess, maybe the new models can close the gap!!
Both great brands 🥳
hopefully you switched because the financial terms are better which will eventually translate into more flossing space.
😂😂
You changed for a better financial deal than you were on …or no point
Never as simple as that in the boat world 😊
Shame about princess
Don’t worry we will still sell used Princess boats. Remember we have upto 100 used boats in stock 😊
That's easy. Princess were too successful for you to cope with.
😂😂 love it 😍
Private equity owners? Mmmhhhh…
It’s all about the boats and they are excellent again 🥳
