Mt brother purchased a similiar size Nordhavn. The boat is built for battle and looks like it can take a lot of punishment, that would scare other boats from traveling in. After learning more of what Nordhavn is all about, I am happy he chose such a seaworthy vessel. It puts me at ease knowing the safety of himself, and his family are riding in such a fine boat. I am sure he will have this boat for a long time. He is already involved with others in the Nordhavn family of owners and enjoying it to the fullest. When this pandemic ends I am sure the fun will begin again!!! Cheers!

[@petergibbs]

Nordhavn's are class 'A' classification boats, Ocean going. Most pleasure motorboats are at most coastal. Quite a few owners have circled the world in them.

[@Ulbre]

G'day Steve Solo, I hope your brother and his family are still enjoying their Nordhavn. Give us an update if you can.....and just keep Havnfun.

I watched a 200 ft super yacht after the 131 and the (over) 200 footer had a crew of 14 and accomodation for only 12 guests. You could be lonely on it when it's full, it was so big.

I ve fallen in love with these trawlers.... Be great here, the St-Laurence and then head up north to the Baffin Islands.... Beautiful ships these Nordhavns.

[@steve-marsh]

Oh if I had the money it would be Nordhavn all the way! Not only do they look like proper little ships on the outside, but inside they have the feel of a ship too. I love all your reviews, but some of the boats just feel like fancy hotels inside, and so many of them have pretty much the same layout. My dream would be to owner operate a Nordhavn and live onboard full-time, sailing all around the world hopefully avoiding pirates along the way. Such a cosy ship, and another great review - I am totally binge watching at the moment, thanks for all your work, from a fledgling KZbin creator.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Welcome aboard! 🙂

[@guilhermemeireles5654]

My grandfather has an azimut and a nordhavn and I love the nordhavn so much more, the azimut is way more “luxurious” but the nordhavn feels so much better, I feel like home while in it!

This is my perfect Nord! Something I’d be comfortable handling and something I can afford to run, re: insurance, fuel, maintenance, docking fees - all of it. This is perfect. Even the accommodations works perfectly with my single mom of two kids daughter! And I love the passage birth in the pilot house! Two thumbs up! It’s all I can give without a transplant! Peace

I would approach a reputable builder of alaskan crab fishing boats to build me a proper expedition yacht hull ~120ft (ice rated hull and properly seaworthy, a North Atlantic storm that sends the superyachts scurrying to port will be no problem) a proper small ship, not a big yacht..

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you. I try hard to 'take you around the boat with me' so I'm glad you like it.

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Love these Nordhavn and Bering "explorer" yachts. I feel like they are genuinely seaworthy and not just tacky, overdone pachinko palaces for cruising the calm waters a few miles offshore in the Mediterranean or cruising to the Bahamas and MAYBE going to Puerto Rico or the British Virgin Islands. This is a small ship and the space is very well utilized, love the practical spacious galley that you can actually cook in. One thing I'd change is make that dining table a high/low thing where you can make that whole dinette a bed. Or put a pull out bed into that sofa, figure out how to sleep one more person in that salon.

[@CraftBeer4Life]

Whenever I'm in a marina, I dream of being able to explore inside the boats I see. This accomplishes that yearning for me.

This costs more than the average house, for starters. Then you have huge fuel bills, insurance, moorage, constant maintenance, outfitting, training, etc. It's not for shallow pockets, you need to be a multi-millionaire to own a boat this size, or have a sizeable monthly income.

I see this as a hard sell at over £1,00,000 . One thing you didn't mention that I loved was every time you opened a closet a light came on automatically yachts way over a £1,000,000 don't even have that. Nice fishing vessel if one could get it at say 7k in water and ready to go. Another great quality video....... I know I know I low balled ya lol. Cheers mate see ya next video I'm going to keep looking

[@slap_media5296]

I agree

[@itsallgonemad]

A very functional boat built for serious exploring - Northern Lights, Baltic, Fjords etc rather than perhaps Med cruising? Not sure about the engine room access via the Master Cabin but as I say, more form & function rather than aesthetics although still some lovely touches & easy, live-aboard space. Great tour Nick 👍🏻

[@dallesamllhals9161]

If you can afford this boat why couldnt you afford to pay for maintenance? If I had that kind of money I wouldnt get my hands dirty unless an emergency arised.

[@phoenixrising4573]

@@rykehuss3435 Because some of us, even the ones with that much money, aren't lazy and dependent on other people. That attitude is why the overwhelming majority of lotto winners go broke.

[@rykehuss3435]

phoenix rising No, the reason why a lot of lotto winners go broke is because their understanding of money is poor. They are usually just normal people living life paycheck to paycheck. They suddenly get into big money but dont understand that even the seemingly endless amount of 0's on their account will eventually drain to just one 0 if theyre being dumb. They dont hire any financial managers, dont got a clue about investing, they just buy buy buy shit until nothing is left. For example, if I won 2 million euros in a lotto I wouldnt spend any of it (its too little to live like that) but invest it all and live off the profits

Really well done tour. Only two things that you might have pointed out: keel cooling was just behind the running gear for the wing engine and the dry stack exhaust. Those are two things you see on commercial vessels, but on a 52' cruising yacht, you would only see that on a Nordhavn. What an awesome yacht! Thanks for making this video!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Very good points. I noticed the keel cooling on the video once back home editing it, at which point it was too late of course.

Just new to your channel and as a current and retired engineer/train driver, this type of boating is perfect, as we are so close to the engine and controls at all times, looks like a good match from driving a passenger train to driving a 50-70ft boat, hopefully as a crew of 1 or with the wife to help out, from Vancouver

[@mwrcrft]

Very nice boat and built with long distance in mind, definitely not as swift or as costly mechanical systems as lets say a Flemming but the ability to service the mechanicals without being a contortionist and lower cost makes it a very appealing vessel. The owners of Nordhavn yachts that have youtube channels post videos of a much more relaxed cruising schedule visiting many more of the smaller ports and towns along the way.

[@mrblue193]

I could happily live on something like this. I prefer the explorer type to a floating gin palace like a Sunseeker or a Princess. Not that I'd turn my nose up at any of them. Ultimate dream is the M/Y Ulysses, I would love to see a tour of that.
