I love that my initial reaction was "oh a boat I could afford". Then I realized it still cost more than my house.

[@mikefrazer5317]

Haha I was the same way!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Dammit! 😄

[@Derulais]

Its insane how the 300 million pound yatchs make the 200 thousand ones look cheap lol

[@OliverAFrey]

It actually is less than my house was. That said, my ex now has that house so I an crewed as well😉.

[@dwaynescott6281]

lol...so true...but I like the fact that Nick from time to time encourages the purchase of pre owned boats so I guess we will just have to start with one of those ...lol

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Such a perfect little yacht. First rung of the ladder towards the bigger ones. Ticks all the boxes , well thought out. Thank you Nick for showing us around

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@BillWalkerSD]

@@ronjeremy5826 You'll have to take that up with Nick, since the title up there says "Yacht Tour".

[@roarksjuror4752]

Superyacht tours are great... But I love these more attainable boats. Great video as usual, Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks!

[@stephen_101]

For the price this is a superb little boat - I love these back to basics style boats that just do a simple job, and do it well.

[@seanogden927]

A nice simple day/week end yacht with nice finishes and good use of space. Lovely tour as always Nick thank you.

[@stevegame3000]

Great review Nick and timely. I’m in the process of buying a used Bavaria Sport 29 as a first boat. Not dissimilar especially down below. Same engine. I sooo can’t wait to get out on the water 😀

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That should be a great boat! I have the D4 260 in my boat and it's a lovely engine.

[@wareidav]

Seriously smart starter boat.. Love the features... A properly grown up boat. Great tour Nick. Thanks

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Starting to really like the Bavaria boats. Perfect for starting out and weekend boating.

[@nicbennett6554]

A superb starter boat and ‘relatively’ cheap for a new boat. Plenty of style, plenty of power and plenty to like. Thanks for taking us around.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@normangeilich]

Thanks for the Tour. I like that you bring the affordable ones too.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You are so welcome!

[@Kim_Jensen]

Bavaria has really nailed this one :) Thank you for giving us a great and fact thick tour. Also amazing how this boat is not radical better than SB2 thats nearly 20 years old. Thanks Nick :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darthja8292]

Awesome tour as always Nick. I really like this boat as a first cruiser as you mentioned, it ticks all the boxes for a beginner. Thanks for showing it us👍🏻👍🏻

[@debbiejudd4933]

A great way to spend a weekend on. She's a beautiful boat. Thank you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@michaelbellsmith5113]

What a sharp looking boat, thank you Sir Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You are very welcome 🙂

[@johnhunter5890]

Greetings Nick What a great get out there day/weekender. Multi purpose and fun. Nice deck for friends and family to socialize in. Thanks for a wonderful tour. Cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@maryholder3795]

An attainable boat and a good starter boat. Nice areas inside for eating and sleeping. Modern practicable boat.

[@swarley2500]

I was on a Bavaria S30 yesterday. Very nice and comfortable boat👍

[@sjones4668]

Nick, this is very nice and at a price point that will allow those who can afford it, a great week-ender or longer. Great for a family as well.

[@bigp7902]

Great first boat and ideal Weekender 👍

[@mortenberg2897]

Nice video - and i love the Bavaria layout

[@blest5132]

smart little boat, has everything you need. thanks for showing us this nick, cheers!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@charles5627]

Lovely sea master 300 Nick, can’t wait for a watch collection video!

[@futte2303]

Great video Nick. Nice boat, because it's basically like S.B.2, it has everything you need and it's nice materials. It is large and spacious with good berths, but I think I would lie on the foredeck and look at the stars at night, because you can sail away from the city lights.

[@ussdavidrrayify]

Wow. That does look very close to your boat. Very nice. Was hoping to win 1.3 billion and I would have bought the majesty 175. But now that the lottery is back down this the boat I’m getting. Very nice

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Good luck! 😃

[@IanObzi]

If I was a boat manufacturer I would want Nick to review my boat, it’s like a badge of honour.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

What a smashing little boat.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. That's a huge garage to store all your boats. It's a smart cruiser, practical and fast. Like it. Great video walkthrough Thanks 😊

[@g9rud]

What’s not to like, well thought out little craft, I am sure they will sell lots of those. Nice to see some more affordable boats now and again.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Nice widdle boat! Thanks Nick 🙂

[@jackirichard414]

What a great looking boat! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥🛥

[@DavorOh]

Looks like an excellent business, building and selling such a boat. The luxury ones, too. Eye opening! I've seen here on KZbin someone building an aeroplane, and is actually promoting his engineering software business by doing so. But these boats, Man. The full comprehension of the price. I am truly amazed.

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

Nice to see how much better Bavaria have become, I used to sail these in th early 90s and there wasn't much quality in the build.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Agreed, I think they have improved.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, And thank you for this nice Bavaria S30 a smaller boat in there range and I like it single engine but still very fast sleeps four and evrt think what you need on board a great boat to start boating. Thanks again Nick a nice start for the weak⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@treborretsnom6186]

Sometimes, we forget what really good is 👍 BRAVO fantastic vessel 🔥

[@ProductofNZ]

Great little boat

[@patrickfreeman205]

Crackin little yacht. Nice tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks 👍

[@arkadandfortuna1582]

GreatJob again Nick! You’ve sold me on the Bavaria… great first boat for any user, would love to see a sea trial vid on this…

[@moejaime2654]

Nice boat Nick !

[@hopingowen]

What a lovely little beauty 👍🛥

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind, but I'm actually quite tall in real life... 😳

[@hopingowen]

@@AQUAHOLIC 6'1 🤣🤣🤣

[@johansjoberg5751]

Nice tour! I have the 28 sport. Same boat but with sunbed aft. Both versions have their pros and cons. I really like the sunbed version though.. both for the sumbed itself and also the big storage you get under the sunbed. Still place for 6 people seated in cockpit also.. I have the D4 300 and it does 32 knots with a cruising speed at 25 with 1,7 l/nm consumption, pretty good

[@philipfisher4244]

Best Channel on KZbin

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind! 😃

[@jamesthesilver]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a full Aquaholic tour of the Benetti B.yond at Cannes this year!!

[@deankirk8554]

A nice weekend boat 🚢

[@r.a.monigold9789]

A Goldilocks boat. Like the little girl who tested the eating, sleeping and living arrangements of three bears until she found the set up that was just right. For all searching out the comfort of fun - then join Goldilocks on this boat for some uncompromised enjoyment on the water. Not so big it takes assistance from the Navy to dock - but not so small that two couples will feel crowded for space. The boat is JUST RIGHT - for day cruising or weekend exploring. Thanks, Nick - "...looks like Bavaria has an S30 winner." reports Goldilocks, its Just Right

[@bobuncle8704]

Nice tour. I could really see myself with one like this.

[@colinturner4158]

Very nice boat for the money Thanks nick

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Lovely boat nick 🛥🚤⛵️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kamil_baranek]

...that is exactly something I was waiting for. The boat I can tow...

[@guillaumeattias3664]

I love what you do keep it up

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you, will do!

[@darploin5071]

I like how they stenciled on the bow the boat is available right now

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Great boat! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@ThoughtfulWander]

@@AQUAHOLIC 👍👍

[@paterson00]

Nice that the galley area no.longer represents their sail boat heritage. I'd love a Bavaria 37HT of about 2008 as my next boat but the downstairs turns me off a lot. Its the hard top that appeals. I think I'll end up with a Four Winns 348. Stunning boat downstairs with lots of storage and classy finishes. Would love to see Bavarias modern offerings at 35 - 40ft range.

[@j.f.e2333]

I agree I'd sleep feet first in that mid cabin, but it looks like it's not intended to be used like that ... unless your feet need a reading-light :)

[@Dr23rippa]

Nice little boat

[@VirtanenDK]

Really nice boat, even though i liked the X-Power you toured recently, a bit more. Thx to Marianne & Nick 🤗

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@Samarithan72]

"And Voilà as they say in Germany" had me laughing 😂

[@mikehamilton4357]

Great idea thank you

[@poorfordtransitowner1627]

my phones been getting fixed for over a month. I've missed this channel the most

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Welcome back! 😃

[@peterdodge6563]

Very well equipped at an affordable price.

[@Francoberry]

if I ever buy a boat, I think I'll name it 'BOAT AVAILABLE NOW'. just has a nice ring to it

[@mikefrazer5317]

Love this size as someone that really wants to get into boating. I’d be very curious to see something set up for SCUBA diving. cheers

[@rogerburn5132]

Another Great episode from Nick Bavaria. Is Absolutely Stunning Yacht BIG THANKS NICK KEEP FILMING THEM GREAT VIDEOS. 👍👍👍👍🚤🚤😎

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, will do!

[@jjhbhd520]

Nice boat 👍

[@sailormanoyster1849]

Ghnx nice walk through

[@jamesellsworth9673]

It is a lucky thing that 'Maggie the Baggie' has short legs! "Simple but Effective". "Starter Boat." AGREED!

[@VanIsleNuckFan]

Can you do a small segment on your watch collection?

[@calanques290]

Would love to see you review the Delta 60 open.

[@goboating264]

Great review👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks! 👍

[@mattmayo3539]

I just recently discovered the joy of boating. Bought a 20 foot bow rider for my family. Sub $15k. I had no idea that these new boats are offered with 20 year financing her in the US. I was wondering how so many people at my launch ramp had $200k boats and drive 10 year old tow vehicles.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Fantastic, enjoy!

[@Mark..P]

Now this I love and potentially achievable 🤔😁

[@JasonGrubbRC]

Go on then Nick the million dollar question ....., would you swop out Smugglers blues for this one ?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It would make a good replacement if we wanted to stay with the same size but just go newer.

[@jackirichard414]

Hello.Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@jamesmillard1343]

I like it

[@temper44]

Looks very clean and modern. Not minimalist, but not luxury. Seems a good balance.

[@nickwebb9290]

Superb boat and has that assuring Bavaria quality. What’s not to like 😁 ahh well, except that incongruous grey plasticky looking dashboard binnacle. Am sure it wouldn’t put me off buying this boat though.

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

Nice boat! What is the draft? The only thing I didn't like was the transparent door leading to the interior. Thanks for sharing. 👍

[@algeriasolitaryman3662]

That boat look good 👌🏻👌🏻🇩🇿✌🏻

[@Zeppflyer]

I really want to know the thought process behind including a can opener in the cutlery drawer, but nothing else. Maybe they determined that forgetting it was the number one simple thing that ruined people's first weekend out in their new boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Boat dealers are wise! (Or possibly it's there for its bottle opening talents!) 😄

[@insightcomputing6192]

A boat this size...that is all you need!

[@VictoryFinanceTV]

Keep up the good work :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, will do!

[@bertpierey3655]

Very nice affordable boat

[@Ognir1962]

Great looking boat… outboard availability? Thanks Nick for sharing.

[@bjornhosek9210]

beautifull boat

[@clairewood9607]

Beautiful xx

[@andyraven9855]

Thank you Nick very nice but it's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 walk through (please see my comment from last Friday's video).

[@thedeepsouthaudit2645]

Very cool

[@tammyfetzner5792]

So in the second berth, there's a reading light at the far end. That seems to imply you'd sleep with your feet facing out toward the cabin. Or, if you're claustrophobic, it'd be a great way to inspect your feet at night? 😆

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It gives you the option. Kids might prefer being the other way around.

[@GoldenCroc]

@@AQUAHOLIC Hey, I am not a kid and and dont mind at all in my similar boat! But I am also extremly far from claustrophobic, wrap me up like a mummy and even then I am snug as a bug.

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; lovely! Mahalo

[@anthonyferrara2222]

So when can we expect to see your on board review of Jeff Betos’ new sail boat??? LOL

[@chrisp3913]

Any comments on build quality. Is it a Sea Ray or a Bayliner?

[@fergusjohn9720]

I have to watch your video's twice!! once for great boat content and the next for what dam watch today!. You could do a short video on collection

[@douglasthompson296]

oh no a very bad idea, that advertises to the professional watch thief what you have.

[@fergusjohn9720]

@@douglasthompson296 I think they already have a good idea watching the videos, but point taken

[@rutgercoehoorn]

Please film and edit in higher frame rate, at this moment the video is very shaky in a big viewing screen. Such great content 👍

[@choski76]

Will take this for a ride soon for us?

[@meoramri]

Nice Omega :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@LA-go6pp]

Hi Nick love your channel, grew up in Cornwall, dad had fishing boat on mooring for years and now thinking of getting my own boat. Is there anything you can tell me about annual berthing in Cornwall, I know Falmouth well, and know that many of the harbours are tidal, so any advice you can provide would help. I am at this point assuming there are waiting lists for annual marina berths such as Falmouth, Penryn and Mylor. But maybe you have insider knowledge?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Very little knowledge of Cornwall's berthing situation I'm afraid, but best of luck with it!

[@steadytube]

ooh i like that

[@BillWalkerSD]

Very nice boat, and an excellent tour, as always! Is there any kind of privacy curtain that closes over that companionway door? It's so transparent (helped by the lights being on below, of course), that it seems you'd have to duck into the mid-cabin or the heads to change clothes.

[@benm3975]

I really like these videos and enjoy your point of view but maybe at this point we could skip the part where you describe how the entrance to the mid cabin is a very clever double us of space

[@user-oe2ti1fb8r]

The deck in the cockpit looks great is it teak? Is this manufactured by Bavaria or bought in?

[@scottlomas5509]

Very nice. I'd love to see a hard top version of this.

[@douglasthompson296]

me too, especially for UK waters as we don't have summer heat waves every year!!

[@mattmayo3539]

Initially I thought this price point of boating required cash or 5 year loan similar to that of a car. Come to find out you can take out a 20 year loan on boats like these. I thought that was pretty interesting
