a HYPER underrated part of your channel is that every video has a price on the boats. We take it for granite but that little detail allows people to judge the type of product you are presenting easily in a way many youtubers seek to hide

[@jjaus]

Granite?

[@BomptonBillions999]

heh i take it for diamond really

[@kyleb4327]

Progressive comments are hyper

[@SimonJeffery-g9b]

That's my kind of MY in a nutshell. Range over speed, small enough to be able to handle single handed on occasion, great level of comfort and loads of clever innovation. Great presentation Nick as ever.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@nicolasweber2805]

Nick.... One of your "colleagues" who actually also makes pretty good reviews, had this boat featured a week or so ago, and that video had me intrigued about this boat... I am a huge fan of the Grand Trawler, but this is so cleverly made, and it is your walk through - with all the little clever details and explanations of various options - that really does it. Never stop this channel! I really understand why you have 500K + subs, and you present the - for some - small details, for others the very important, and actually decision making details.... And this boat.... is an evolution in small trawler style boats - the best boats there is....Thank you so much for all your hard work

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind 🙂

[@Boating_David]

Jack, Jill and Jill's friend is a whole different cruise 😂 Love the lounge at the back, sit inside with views out without being boxed in by a galley & helm

Good choice!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

A year or two and the price drop will be 1/3-1/2.. just like cars. And someone will have worked any snags and glitches out for you by then 🤷🏻😁

I don't normally like trawler yachts, but this is really nice. What's interesting is the amount of thought that goes in to the design of these things. It's a really clever package.

Too true. Trash becomes a major concern once you spend any time out. Provisions for that seem far too rare, even on the marina queens.

A great boat and very excellent tour. Love the layout of this one and all the little things they thought of. I could enjoy this one (if someone bought it for me, or I win the lottery.) I especially enjoy the salon/galley set up. If I want to relax and stretch out watching TV/movie I don't need a dining/cocktail table in front of me. Thank you Nick, another great job !

Just superb. I've been waiting for this tour, and it didn't disappoint. The design is excellent, and carries on where the ST50 left off. They only need to put a dumb waiter between the galley and the flybridge and it's ready to go.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you liked it 🙂

Brilliant tour as usual Nick, thank you. Thorough and enjoyable. I’m around two decades from retirement, but I could certainly see myself spending a few months a year on board one of these pottering around the UK and beyond. Really liked this one, perfect for the intended use.

Totally agree, perfect boat for it.

@@AQUAHOLIC Well, you don't want to end up all at sea about it. Or do you.😁👍

[@BoatingMarketPlace]

Been waiting for this video! Have delivered and instructed on various ST42, ST44, ST52 and the most recent ST48 - the ST Range are some of my favourite consumer-level-market passage makers because of the ability to cruise at displacement and go fast, with a really flatish fuel burn. Brilliant boats all round, great predictability to handle in close quarters marina environments, and comfy on multi-day and overnight displacement speed passage-making. 👍

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Semi displament

[@BoatingMarketPlace]

@@sharonbraselton3135 Hi! Yes i think the hull forms have been described as a semi-displacement type, you're absolutely right; what I was referring to as written was travelling at 'displacement speed' and cruising 'at displacement'. These are just terms used to convey that the through-water log speeds being travelled at are not 'planing speeds' or 'on the plane'. The terms 'i'm at displacement' or 'MCD' 'Max Continuous Displacement' are, somewhat colloquial contractions but, are nevertheless, widely understood - in my experience and sector - to denote that 'we are' travelling at a through water log speed slower than that which is required for a particular hull form to be 'on the plane', were it capable. It's also used as a quick way to say 'i'm just slowly cruising st this time' e.g. "hi, yes, we will be there in a few hours, we're just sitting 'at displacement' for a while...". Anyway, in terms of the hull-forms you're right that that's how they are described by the manufacturer! Anyway, i'm just off to correct the grammar in the graffiti in the loos with long explanations written in highlighter pen explaining their mistakes, and why i'm so much fun to talk to at dinner parties...Just kidding...That's only semi-true.

[@fidel681]

Well the ST range have some great long range cruisers but this 54 is super. Well thought out relaxing, eating, chat to skipper, areas. Lovely light coloured cabins. The whole family and daughters boyfriend would love it. 😊👌

[@AQUAHOLIC]

He'd be perfectly at home in the Easy Load Lazerette! 😄

[@CimMLT]

This would suit me just right! Beautiful

[@itsodelay]

This boat is absolutely amazing. It’s almost like a “Swiss Army knife” of yachts! Definitely one of the best ones you’ve filmed and one of the more thoughtfully built boats IMO.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad you liked it 🙂

[@davidsmall7676]

[@Reynolds-N]

It's a Tardis inside, love the interior design of this boat. One day maybe, it's nice to dream eh😁. Thank you for this latest instalment Nick, top drawer as always 👏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@tonybazz53]

As a 71 year old active grandfather this thoughtfully designed vessel hits the mark on absolutely everything. I think the layout is fabulous. That side door off the galley just rocks. Curious about both draft and air draft so the Bimini option might work better for me. I suppose multiple days at anchor would make the solar option most useful. I wonder how many hours of run time you could get just sitting in the sun all day. I would opt for the gas cooker in order to possibly not run the generator as often. Love the heating and ventilating system. The quick access lazarette is pure genius especially with the clever davit system . The 1.2 million seems very reasonable for a boat with such high spec with tons of real estate and very livable accommodations not to mention the performance. I didn’t see any stabilization which is a pricey option or a water maker. I could tell by Nick’s enthusiasm that he is quite taken with everything this pocket explorer yacht has to offer. Thank you Nick for exhibiting the same passion while touring this gem as a super yacht.

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Definitely needs a water maker if you have women onboard, in my experience 😂

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@strider6920]

That is a lovely practical boat! Nice use of space. I like the layout and was surprised to discover it had 18 solar panels. The trash storage is quite clever. I like the steps to the upper flybridge helm. They would not get wet and be a slip hazard. Shame the GoPro prevented a clear view of the displays. I like the hidden lazarette and engine bay compartment. Very nice yacht, thanks Nick for the tour 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@r.a.monigold9789]

While the term "idyllic" refers to a time or place of pleasing perfection - the name Beneteau Swift Trawler 54 should be added. With a central galley and four dinning areas there is a separate longe that needs no "converting" for dinning. Three generous staterooms each with heads access. The inside route to the fly brige / outdoor cooking and dining areas is very clever. Aft facing rear seating is wonderful. Nothing but "idyllic" stem to stern, Thanks, Nick.

[@jetson328]

This one is perfection

[@catherinesarah5831]

I could very much see this as an alternative early retirement option to that cottage in the country. (For those that could afford it) Plenty big enough for a couple to live aboard but not too big to handle. Room for family to come stay for a while. Wake up to a different view each morning if you felt like it.

While not a red wine freak, reds need to be chilled to between 55-65F, depending on the type of red and personal taste. So, some minimal cooling capacity is required. Room temperature is not really room temperature. Ok, to the boat. I am very impressed. I did not think I would be, but this is a very well thought out boat. I could easily live on this in South Florida. Thanks, Nick! 😊

[@bryduhbikeguy]

What a wonderful 'floating home'. You said there are 2 more 'roof' options for the flybridge, and I can't help thinking a hardtop that dropped back and down for low bridges, and covering most things when not in use would really set a high mark in most peoples check list, as it could still be totally covered with solar panels.Maybe hull 3. :) Cheers Nick, and friends.
