I keep having to remind myself that 2006 was 15 years ago. This boat looks like it has been fantastically taken care of!

[@DashcamCCTVfootage]

@covid 19 bulshitt Probably around 350-400k. Nice name by the way.

[@DashcamCCTVfootage]

@covid 19 bulshitt Yes I do and fully agree with you. Nice to meet you!

[@rudymorales7485]

Keep in mind that it is 15yrs old. It's the thing you can't see, electrical, plumbing, through bungs, that will cause problems. Like an old car with great paint and exterior. But under the hood plastic and rubber items are worn because of age. How much pounding has the hull taken? Etc etc.

[@logicreversed18t]

It's funny how we never really "feel" like we're getting old, because my reaction is similar, "2006, that's pretty new . . . wait that's 15 years ago!" I don't feel old enough to think something 14-15 years old is new. I blame my kids.

For a 35-footer, SUNSEEKER hit a home run with this, as specified. The interior finishing and the layout is OUTSTANDING!

[@jamesboucher6474]

By far the best looking 35 foot boat I’ve ever seen. Awesome layout ,beautiful woodwork.

[@stusmithmmm]

Great boat. Such a nice guy too. I've gone from not watching any of his videos to around 20 in 2 days. Brilliant. I really want a boat now.

[@jaffaholland4039]

This is a fantastic boat. The inside is better than a lot of modern boats in terms of sleeping. This is one of the better ones you have shown us.

[@Dwealdric]

Easily the nicest, and most timeless older boat you've shown. Brilliant.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. This is definitely a contender, beautiful wood, in good condition. Sporty looks, 700hp 40 knots is lightning fast. Lovely boat. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊

[@Wenchework]

This boat reminded me very much about my brothers sunseeker boat,nothing better then sitting on a boat like this and enjoy a sunny day boating

[@Music4Me1957]

This boat is in awesome condition and great job in showing this smaller, more affordable motor Yacht. I have watched Nautistyles channel and they look down on smaller and make condescending comments in my opinion. When someone constantly says oh this little area is so cute and you wouldn’t be embarrassed at all to have your friends over for the weekend by owning this boat. 👎🏻👎🏻 smaller boat let upkeep and more affordable.

[@Knee-ko]

Two boats in one Nick. Modern look on the outside. Classic Sunseeker wood finishes down below. Can't go wrong. 👍👍

[@nikvalentincic9764]

I love your enthusiasm. It's really easy to watch someone talking with passion.

[@Freddieduda]

Not too big not too small just the perfect size. And it's a flying machine 10/10 👍

[@r.a.monigold9789]

In 2006 Sunseeker built one of the best boats available - for 2021 - a timeless creation. No kidding, this beauty boat is as contemporary as a clever Reddit posting, yet built 15 years ago. Quality is ageless - literally, if the builder is Sunseeker. I'll bet the lit up name on the back would light up "Smugglers Blues" even brighter. THIS is it, Nick.

[@johnpeel6601]

Now that is a beautiful boat in immaculate condition. Amazing accommodation for its size and a testament to Sunseeker’s quality of build, fit and finish. Thanks Nick for a fab review.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're welcome! :)

[@brianmckechnie6430]

“Not in the market at the moment” walks to the sales office and cry’s that he’s not bought it🤣 after the passion in that review I’m sure it won’t take long to sell Nick. Lovely boat.

[@laminatedsamurai]

I've always loved these walkthroughs, have made me absolutely fall in love with the idea of boating and even being a live-aboard. And seeing beautiful boats like this make me even think that it might even be something I can afford one day, putting the idea squarely in the realm of 'possible. Excellent as always, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them!

[@supreme1096]

I like this boat. This boat is very spacious, cozy. The type of boat I will buy-in 2-3 years tops. Just by his presentation, I'm sold,

[@matthewwoelfle5533]

That is a splendidly designed boat. And the blue/white color scheme is timeless.

[@neilhaslam4068]

What a lovely blend of sports styling and accommodation. The sympathetic upgrades really work! Nice!

“Not in the market...”. Come on Nick. It’s time and you know it. Let go of some of that $$$ in your wallet.

Wow, definitely was not expecting that level of comfort and style in the cabin! Another great video!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobuncle8704]

Nick. You are always positive and full of energy. But there was a little extra bounce in your step on this one. Could easily tell you were excited. When you stepped down into the salon, wow, nice. Beautiful woodwork. I certainly agree on this one. What a lovely boat.

[@deadhell304]

Love how they managed to fit a reasonably spacious and well laid out guest cabin in there. Sunseeker really did a good job on this one!

[@chad1755]

That boat is drop dead gorgeous. I'm in love. I really hope you can make this one Smugglers Blues III so we can see more.

This boat looks perfect! The interior still looks brand new! I wasn't expecting her to be able to go 40 knots, this is a real speed machine!

[@kieranharriman7055]

Firstly. What a beautiful well looked after boat. So impressed. Someone has cherished it. Secondly who the hell disliked this video? Mind boggles. Thirdly Nick you need this boat. I’ll make you a promise. If I win the lottery tonight she’s yours. Fantastic tour. Have a great weekend Nick.

[@markmccue1263]

This is my favourite Aquaholic - that boat is immaculate, stylish and just about obtainable. I can see myself and the kids enjoying something like this hugely. Fantastic and just the thing to let you dream. Polished cherry wood mmm...

[@cyruslad5462]

Always loved Sunseakers, this for me gives you the perfect balance between a usable family and sports boat. Also a great size, large enough to cope and give you space, small enough to have some fun with and enough HP to do so. Thumbs up in every respect for this one.

[@lacroixplainfeather5343]

I love the big ships, but as a small town guy I appreciate small boats like these. Keep it up, love what you do!

I’m so tired of 2020 and also 2021 so far. I can see myself setting off into the sunset on this with a few good friends for a few weeks! Sun, water and a relaxing time! And of course cocktails 🍹!

[@danwelsh3061]

Wow!!!! 15 years or so old & looks superb still just love the craftsmanship in Sunseekers & really like the use of space for the 2nd cabin. Been watching these fantastic films for just over a year now I was wondering Nick what is in store for this year. I really like the canal/longboat vids & love the interiors of the yachts. I would like to see more trawlers & Scandinavian boats if you get the chance. Thanks again Nick for taking the time to make & share these great videos....

[@ijoseluis]

Thank you for this amazing visit. The idea of making real a 75 y old man's dream, of living aboard much of his remaining time is being constantly blocked by greedy considerations (age makes dreams an extravagant thing...), but some examples are unavoidable temptations. This one is. Absolutely.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@120Livi]

Presumably a larger, more expensive, more complicated 2006 is more of a risk/liability than a simpler 2006 boat. I'd always be worried I was buying a 15 year old money pit! Great video nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's the trade off against the higher price of a newer boat

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Wow wonderful Nick Sir.. It's elegant and wood work is awesome.... Used small places very well.. LOOKING ELEGANT NICK Sir...

This boat hits the sweet spot for me. Not too big not too small. Your boat is fantastic as well. These are my two favorites. Yours has the single engine which I like. Better fuel economy, maintenance costs, and still big enough. Greetings from the U.S.A. Love your channel.
