Another delightful boat tour. It is quite refreshing to see more sailboat tours. Power boats are all about getting to the next port of call as fast as possible while sailboats are all about the journey along the way. If you are in a hurry, sailboats are not for you but if you love the journey and being moved by the wind, there is a sailboat calling you.

[@Reznor_Meeks]

You know whats the best about this review? The fact you said " I recorded lots of boats today " Win Win ! Beneteau Oceanis 38.1, beautiful boat, the interior choice of wood/color made the whole space look far bigger than actually is!

[@benzamg1982]

7:40 nick is actualy “ hercule” ..thank you for showing us everything. 💪🏻👍

[@Hanjotruper]

I really like the spacing on sailingboats often a lot more than on motoryachts. It is much more utilitarian. I don't need 20 Showers and 15 walk in closets (e.g. a en-suit for every Cabin). I mean if i am on a 30-40 foot boat it is probably with family and close friends anyways, bit to tight to share with strangers imo. 1 Seperate shower and 1 Toilet would be more than enough and then use that space to make the cabines bigger/ add more storage room/ a place for a laundry machine, a seperate cabin maybe with a desk to work at so you can do some homeofficing. If i OWN the boat i do not need it to be a Hotelroom, i want it to be a second home. And like i said, i find sailingyachts tend to fill that role much more than motoryachts. That said, it might be obvious why. If i am a sailor, i am willing to work to get from A to B on my boat, while motoryachts probably attract a verry differen clientel.

[@Michael_Chater]

* en-suite

[@SurreyAlan]

If you were married to my wife you'd know that 2 toilets is essential. There's also the rule of 4 for toilet roll storage, every female requires 4 rolls for every 1 used by a chap, what they do with it who knows, one of lifes mysteries.

[@Hanjotruper]

@@SurreyAlan then put 1 "Bathroom" Shower plus toilet and one single toilet. If you really need it, but it might be better to change your toilet habbits and safe the space to stock up all the toiletpaper you need ;).

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

@@SurreyAlan Time to get a bidet. You can feed it from the salt water to get that ocean fresh feeling!

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

@@charlieodom9107 I don't need a big shower. I don't wash my feet and I am not starting now.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

The sunlight reflecting off the water on the roof above the interior dining table, that has me sold. I'm already sailing down the coast of France in July.

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

What a gorgeous interior. Took me by surprise how much room you have in there. That large storage space under the seat. That would be an ideal place to put my wife when I need a break.

[@jameshooper5671]

Those lovely hull windows in the forward cabin really make this boats 'at anchor' appeal. Most boats this size only have the deck hatch but imagine waking up anchored in a beautiful Mallorcan cove and having that view from your bed. The new Bavaria C38 has added decent forward cabin windows too.

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

I’ve said it before, I generally like a centre cockpit better, but that shower! 🔥For a production boat, she’s a sweet one. Once again Nick is bringing the variety, with another fantastic Aquaholic Tour!

Have fun with it taking up all the exterior space and getting sprayed

[@battlemage2100]

Another sailboat tour!

[@jimc5000]

So I think that’s the best layout for a boat that size I have seen so far…separate shower room is brilliant…heart tells me I want a 1000hp motorboat to belt about and act like i’m 17..but everything ends tells me what a boat the Oceanis is..always like them anyway but now they seem better than ever..transant is on my bucket list - perfect boat to do it in.

[@ricardorusso1462]

I’m always amazed at how much liveability these designers can fit into such a small space. I think this boat hits a perfect sweet spot, never thought a 38ft boat could feel this big

Another sailboat! Great, many thanks! I do like Beneteau, the only thing that spoils the aesthetics in my view is the huge GRP bar above the companionway, resulting in the hugely oversized plastic windows as a result of it. Practical it may be, I just don’t like it. still a Hanse fan!

[@whackamolem8024]

Good Morning Nick & Maggie! I really like this layout Nick, I think the price seams great for a new boat with financing now days and I can see how this might be a good option for folks. - That's one of the many reasons I love your videos, we all get to see how much some of the used boats on the market go for...I remember the 2008 Trader 42 that was 250k, That was a lot of boat for the money! Knowing what you might get for how much makes it easier to dream of a boating future. Knowing the price makes it possible to build a timeline..That's the difference between a Dream and a Goal right...a timeline? Kind Regards..Oh and Maggie's sister is on her flight now...thanks for that.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome!

[@amarcy5369]

That seems a lot of boat for the money , compared to the cabin cruiser type. I was also wondering with all that control with regards to sails weather it would be in the realms of the less experienced marina ? . Must admit I was completely smitten by this one . Love your videos that are always given with friendly informed opinions. You are as they say a natural presenter 😀😀😀👍

Hey Nick, thanks for another cracking all-access tour - and no broken cups! Quick question, what would be specific to the Med that might leave one needing 2 anchors instead of 1? I'm still learning, thanks for your great insights.

Very nice review as always ! Can you review luxury sailing boats like the Amel 50 or 60 please ?

[@stippolyte]

Yet another class modern sailer, love these drop transoms 👍. Seeing the empty cutlery tray made me think, on many boats you have featured up for sale, you have shown cracking sets of branded crockery, cutlery, glassware, tools etc. Are these supplied with the boat or optional extras when new? Only thing I got was one dealer branded floating key ring, with all 3 keys on, in a shape of an old ships wheel 😂.

It depends - sometimes standard, sometimes optional

With their well engineered spaces and clever layouts PLUS the ease of sailing (in fair weather) - modern sailboats have become the bargain of the 21st Century.
