all weather - shallow draft - twin engine - side deck - sufficent speed - long range - im in love

[@edithflood631]

What a beautiful craft. Combines ocean going seaworthiness, classic naval design reminiscent of 1930s, coastal attributes, redundancy with two diesel engines… and more. One thing I would change would be a gas cooker with rails instead of the electric induction cooktop. Fridge? Any room for washing machine and dryer combo? Generator/inverter etc etc Would love to see their yachts as well.

[@dereksmith6126]

Great mix of luxurious interior and utilitarian exterior. The Dutch certainly know how built motor vessels.

[@udp1073]

wow.. am I the only one that watching this keep thinking at how cool would be the Great Loop aboard this boat? and then, once you are done with the loop, living aboard it? I think I am in love..

[@PMMcIntyre]

That was my first thought watching this vid too.

[@constantineding8700]

The first sight I laid on it I aleady knew it's a dutch-built, which is both functional and elegant. I hope you get us see the Bestevaer 63 in the future.

[@alisavas9526]

Another great episode. This is a great boat. Aluminium, low maintenance and very capable. Love the fact that you can ground it during low tide. A very practical yacht

[@YachtBuoy]

🙌

[@erichaskell]

Love the traditional design; the modern stuff is quite challenging to look at.

[@ecmo11]

Why in the name of all that is good & holy did they mount controls for bow & stern thrusters side by side instead of in tandem like any logical person would?

[@Watson1]

That’s exactly what I said. IF I order one I will change it.

[@waterboy8999]

It's the same on my canoe, very annoying.

[@GI-AUS]

Bestevaer is pronounced as "Beste-Far" with a long AA sound, short for Beste Vader, Great Father or Great Leader, the loving nickname for Michiel De Ruyter, the 16th century Dutch Admiral who routed the English navy. You may also know the Dutch word Vader from Darth Vader...

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks! I should have asked at the boat show about the correct pronunciation. I had heart of this boat builder before

[@jorisgulinck8724]

@@YachtBuoy I found calling this boat the 'best ever 53' a nice touch :-)

OK, my Looper boat is now tied between this and the Nordhavn N41

Very impressive vessel glad to know there is a boat builder that uses aluminum and has great lines. Love it just wish I could afford one.

[@long_view]

Great review of an impressive vessel.

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks 🙌 glad you enjoyed the video 🫡

[@eddieohearn17]

This is perfect for me. Thank you for showing the boat.😊

[@zeilgenot]

Love the hull design and how the aluminium has been designed and constructed up to and including fi. the bollards. What I do not like is the ergonomics/positioning of the instrument panel in the wheelhouse (can be changed easily) and the many square corners of the interior which could be an issue in heavy weather.

[@historymythslegends]

I would love to see a 5/9 knots electric propulsion system on a boat of this kind, but without losing the diesel engines or its range.

[@csgodenver]

What a cool boat thx!

This is a great boat for "The Great Loop" I would love running this through Chicago’s downtown waterway and not have bridge issues.

[@paulwood5112]

Would be ideal for me and my coastal waters. Bodding over to the Isle of Man for the weekend or further up the coast. However, my missus absolutely loathes rough weather. She won't entertain going on the family yacht these days.

Sensible and safe - I'd put my family on one.

[@hankgs]

Nicest powerboat I've ever seen. If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much...!

[@duncanjames914]

This would make a nice river or canal boat. I wouldn't take it offshore with a 0,85m draft. My only critique is that the showers look incredibly small. I would opt for one large shower rather than cramming two into a boat this size. The interior seems tight below decks, but overall the construction looks superb. Thanks for the excellent video on what looks like very capable coastal cruiser or river boat.

[@dereksmith6126]

It's a category A boat, so it's rated to cross the Atlantic if you choose to do so.

[@wingedmonkeys548]

Même si il a que 0,85 de tirant d’eau le fait qu’il soit en aluminum est considérait à affronter toutes les mers donc catégorie A et de plus un fonctionnement de 8 / 12 knots plus sa légèreté il devrait normalement avoir une consommation réduite

[@ArazQizilbash]

​@@dereksmith6126 Class A on paper means nothing in real operating conditions. As a manufacturer, let them clearly state such a claim, if any, or let them prove the first ocean crossing themselves! Firmanın kırmızı renkle vurgu yaparak aktardığı bilgi(web sayfasını ziyaret edin): "A simple shape and a sharp bow. Beautiful lines. But still, a yacht that is extremely comfortable under all weather conditions. Apart from its singular design, the Bestevaer 53 M/Y offers a phenomenal boating experience and is ideal for exploring coasts, rivers, lakes, and cities in all weather conditions." There is no emphasis on the Offshore or the Ocean!? In my opinion, the company's sailboats deserve the top five list, but these motorboats are not value for money and cannot be placed in the CE:A category in practice!

[@dereksmith6126]

@@ArazQizilbash It's odd that the manufacturers don't have an imput as they know more than anyone what the vessel is capable of.

[@fredjones7705]

Sweet. Needs a holder for my Beer. The only thing that concerns me is air conditioning. It is essential for America and lots of Dutch boats don't have it. Does this one? Or is it an option? If yes then this is possibly the perfect Yacht for me. I've crewed in the Caribbean and run aground there more times than I care to think about but with a draft of 3 feet I'd be totally safe.....be great on American inland water. Perfect great loop boat with side trips on all the waterways and right under 80% of the bridges where everyone else in a +50 footer has to sit there till they raise or rotate the bridge to allow them passage. I always wanted to ride "The Big Chute Marine Railway" on the Trent Severn waterway and this would a perfect boat to do it in. Downtown Chicago (hey it's safer than Somalia), Memphis and New Orleans all have a rich distinct flavor deep and plenty of Pubs and after a hard evening of sampling the local delights we return to that master cabin to enjoy the remainder of the day. Then the Panama Canal and all the way up the left coast to Alaska. They say bad things about San Francisco but I was there for 2 weeks last month and it seemed fine to me. SF Bay is great on a boat. This one is perfect...if it can have air conditioning. I see the stabilizers and I trust Yanmars. I see I blew the whole brevity thing but I really do love this one.

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Hi Fred. There's definitely an option for air conditioning. Check out all options in the technical spec sheet via: www.bestevaer.com/yachts/motor/models/53-m-y

[@MrTallpoppy58]

For a couple up to a family of 4, it's very capable and well set out. A tiny bit more room in the shower & toilet would be nice (I'm big, lol)

[@gregmarchegiani6656]

Would be just right for me

[@ZoneTelevision]

Properly set up this boat could very conceivably cross oceans. This boat is way more capable than a Coastal Cruiser.

[@galbor86]

Compare this Bestever to the Brit and Arksen please.

[@larisavakhrushkova4698]

nice boat

[@alan-sk7ky]

A modern Ed Monk inspired design ;-) Where's the washing machine?

[@karlshook4586]

I mostly like it but I am skeptical of the crane. It looks fragile and I doubt it will last long.

[@karlp8484]

17 Kts on just 220 HP is miraculous. The boat must be very light.

[@wingedmonkeys548]

Aluminum

[@bobsmith1401]

Very Interesting Boat - A lot of thought in the designing, and would make a perfect boat for doing the entire great loop without restrictons. Is the 3.6 Airdraft with or w/o Dinghy?

[@YachtBuoy]

From memory, I think it’s with as the radar mast is the highest point

[@hwood9783]

Why did you not show full tender launching procedure? I suspect it was not the easiest of operations.

[@YachtBuoy]

Because it would have meant launching the tender onto the pontoon, plus, I was a bit short of time

[@Ulbre]

The retractable davit/crane is brilliant. However, standing on the rail to launch it is not. I guess you don't have to stand there, but it is obviously the most favourable position to launch it from. Could be a moot point for some of the target buyers who maybe retirees. Overall a lovely sleek bit of kit though.

[@gliblyaware]

Everybody's a winner bargains galore!

[@ervie60]

Funny how names can be pronounced so differently between related languages using same spelling even changing meanings. Take the famous superyacht builder Oceanco. The localsand Dutchwill say: Oce-Anco. Not that silly when looking at that capitol A in the logo. Now the Anglo Saxon say Ocean-Co and to be honest they aim at the worldwide market so yes that is the proper way to say it. On this name Bestevaer, no it is NOT best -ever. The name in Dutch means bestevaer: good to sail for or upon. In fact it was the nickname of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter given by his crews because he took care of his men; bestevaer meant best to sial with him. The builders imply this yacht will take good care of you. Ok end of history/trivia lesson of today now back to happy sailing all :)

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

There should be suntanning beds on the bow. The stern should at least have railings so no one drowns. It would also be nice to fish back there. There should be somewhat of a tuna tower or upper controls. I see that the downstairs controls have no open windows and that really sucks.

[@donaldvanvliet9039]

No, there shouldn’t. Boat is designed more for the cold(er) places than the tropics.

[@AndyNC]

Great boat. What is the range on this one?

[@sailor5026]

Great boat, and since this is a premier Builder, it IS dumb not to mount bow and stern thrusters in their customary fore and aft configuration. The last thing you need to have happen is confusion helming your new boat in tight quarters.

[@6arepo6]

Amen brother, I was thinking the same thing throughout the video to the point of trying to imagine how I would obviate the issue.... Still a fine, fine boat nonetheless.

[@nhojnhoj6767]

Hello yacht Buoy. How difficult was it to climb the ladder to get access to the tender? It looks difficult to me.

[@YachtBuoy]

Hi, it was not hard at all 🫡

[@nhojnhoj6767]

[@tomthompson7400]

Calling the coach roof a boat deck is stretching it a bit , the sticky out steps and the garmin antenna would soon get tiresome ,, and a positive rake on the windows would really give it a serious look ,,, but overall its a fine boat.

[@Franklin-pc3xd]

Must be some problems with this model - several still for sale, including this one.

[@wingedmonkeys548]

is it worth the € 1.5 M I ask the question anyway! in the end yes there is the aluminum thing ok the fact that it is in category A ok but after what do we pay for the design and that it is clean overall the welds are raw the design is quite simple the yanmar engines are quite weak is it really worth it I really like this ship I ask myself a simple question that's all.

[@paulnorman8274]

Pretty much no boat is "worth it" anymore, for anyone who has to care. More relevantly: Boats are now so complex, that I venture the vast majority of those who do have $1.5mill to spend on one, would be better off with a very cleanly designed and built one like this; than a larger one which is built less immediately obviously. I'm not in a position to categorically state "aluminium" over steal or composites or wood; but one advantage of welded metal boats; is that they have to be built in a more orderly manner than molded and glued and stapled and.... composites. It's easier to slip up unnoticed with composite construction. And less straight forward to survey. Doesn't mean composite construction has to be done badly (many aren't). But unless you're some seafaring Mormon with 4 wives and 12 kids, who has $1.5mill to spend; I'd rather take the more naively inspectable construction of a high quality metal weldup, than a fancier, curvier, less immediately obviously built composite boat; even if that means "settling" for nominally "less" boat for the money.

[@jimb7133]

This is a great boat for $120,000 usd I wouldn’t pay a dime more for it.

[@bobbyd6499]

I have a VERY hard time believing that this yacht can top out at 17 knots with only 2x110 hp engines.

[@KMYachtbuilders]

Here you could be right, the model shown in the video has two engines of 250 hp. The standard option is 2x 110 hp.

[@osu3221]

I like it, but I think it needs a paint job.

[@ironichumorist]

i do not understand this layout. Half the people sitting in the saloon have their back to the television. Very poor interior arrangement. The practicality is nice and the aluminum build is ideal.

[@nealrcn]

To slow for the money

[@paulnorman8274]

Hull forms amendable to high speed running, don't anchor, nor drive slowly, in a comfortable manner. You also need to run around making sure nothing, and noone, is loose, before letting her rip in anything rougher than a lap pool. Which is too much of a pain, in a boat with this much accommodation (but not enough accommodation to have permanent crew handling all those pesky details, like a Pershing of Mangusta....) It's all about priorities. This one prioritizes comfort for living aboard, over speed.

[@dickhead7382]
