£1M Princess V58 - We circumnavigated Mallorca, living onboard with our kids. What could go wrong?

[@RossMcgowanMaths]

Finally a warts and all video showing a family using a nice motor yacht. Very informative.

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thank you 😊

[@JV-ks3eb]

I love the pronunciation of Buenas.... boonas 😅😅😅😅

[@phillo1818]

Brilliant real world run. Knowing the fuel burn would be an interesting number and a look at the engine room is a must. More out on the water videos are always a treat.

[@TradeWindgng]

Again...spot on …Lovely lovely video those passage video makes the channel so dynamic and you just cant stop watching and you want to know what's next! missed the marina maneuvering clips "going along side and casting off" hope to see them in the next video! explaining the dashboard is great going through the pros & cons of the boat is great showing the plumbing for the waste tank is a bonus. showing the intended passage plan is enlightening and make you relate to it. All in all brilliant please keep them coming stay safe

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thank you 🙏

[@Popmeh]

Best video to date. Absolutely brilliant insight into boating and how it works with family. Stunning boat and the best presenter on KZbin 👍

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Pop 🥰

[@gambanteinodal1246]

Very nice guided tour of this lovely boat. I would add an alarm for the holding tank when doing your recommended improvements.

[@genericusername2177]

I am so envious. What a great way to spend you free time with the family. Lovely vessel and it looks like great fun. Thank you for sharing this with us, you are a lucky bloke. Well deserved👌

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thank you. I suppose it’s one of the perks of the job - but remember going boating on any boat is good fun 🤩

[@lousey1969]

Absolutely loved this honest video. Thank you for sharing such a private time with us and giving the bad with the good. Keep them coming.

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Nick 😍

[@jasonberger9037]

thank you for this video. im now in the market for a boat in this size range. big fan of the v58. nice to see a human om it to give the boat perspective, and not just some quick walk thru video.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Jason! If you want a boat - I will help. Email me [e-mail] 😎

[@ColinWhite-d6v]

What a brilliant honest review love the video 👍

[@jhume7461]

Loved this. a tour of the boat's innards is always great, but we get a MUCH better feel of the boat when we can see it in action. More please :)

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks JH. I will try and do more of these 😎

[@Geo-Tactix]

Great video !!! One of the few showing real facts of boating 👍👍👍

[@MatthewCyUK]

Along with Nick from Aquaholic, your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I liked after "What could possibly go wrong?" - not enough character in boating videos generally but yours especially (and NIcks) are! Bravo!

Why not use the ”single lever” function? It is extremely comfortable as soon as you’re out of the docks. (it controls both engines with one lever)

Rather scary how good the algorithm for KZbin is. I’m off to look at a 2016 V57 exactly the same as this in two days time!! So rather good video for me to see.

Great vid James, very honest appraisal. Love the boat. Sailed around Majorca ourselves a couple of years ago,albeit more sedately on a beneteau 41. Not quite as quick and luxurious as your trip!

Great video.🥰🥰

[@rayanatb]

So when the guy was asking for the lenght, I just checked on google for the exact size and the first listing I found was the exact same boat haha. Nice video, wouldve been cool to see you manoeuvring and parking the boat by yourself!

[@Boatscouk]

Yes I agree - a few drone shots of berthing etc - I would have loved to have done that ! Maybe next time. 😎

[@patriciab3739]

Happy New Year to you and the family James :) Brilliant Vlog...such a truthful, great Vlog....and love this boat..... By the way... Amazing editing James !!! Thanks for sharing

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Patricia. The editing is good because it’s done by someone else 😂

This is by far one of the best, real world boat reviews I have seen in KZbin. Wish you were located in Wisconsin or Lake Michigan

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Michael. I wish I was at Lake Michigan too - I love the US ! 🥳

[@SuperStormgames]

Great Video, really enjoyed it, i thought you might done a bit of a sell and told us how much the fuel cost for the two weeks and how much to charter the boat mind you!

[@Boatscouk]

😂 we do charter boats of course ! Click boats.co.uk and then charter button

[@ryanalley2446]

What an awesome and informative video, thanks. How many times did you fill up the boat with fuel in the two weeks?

[@Boatscouk]

I think it was just one fill up all week - I driver her gently when not on video 😂

[@jasonbond5584]

Fantastic video yet again 10/10 👍👍👍 could never afford something like this but always good to have a dream

[@petermartin4675]

Can you do a vid on the new 58 for 22, to see if they fixed your concerns. Still a lovely boat ,keep the vids coming.

[@Boatscouk]

The new v58 could be the new v55 although there was briefly a v60 - will see if I come across one . 😎

[@BillyBigBollocks.]

Yeeees, this is what I needed to see, I just need a way to make the mrs not terrified on the sea now, any tips? She's petrified of deep water.

[@Boatscouk]

First charter a big boat with her. If she likes this - you are halfway there. We have 2 charters boats - click boats.co.uk then charter 😊

[@jimmyjohnstone5878]

Leave her at home.

@@jimmyjohnstone5878 tempting!

[@HennieMartens]

Great video but I would have liked to see more of when you docked and the lifestyle around this type of trip.

[@Boatscouk]

Yes I agree - I will try to do more of that next time

[@adamroche144]

Could be wrong but on our motor yacht the two markers on the fuel is not actual and what it thinks, its the Red is your portside tank and green starboard tank level. Love the trip, we have done a few trips to the islands. I would recommend formentera ! We done a few videos of it on the channel

[@Boatscouk]

Yes you are right- always learning 😊

[@justice1justice167]

Brilliant ( I’m buying and me one ) 👍

[@romeobravo3793]

23:34 thank you for saying this!!! Finally someone who notices a shortcoming that is typical of Princess’ lineup. They jack up prices of their products twice a year, and yet you won’t find a 10-quid USB charger anywhere on their boats. Why?!

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Romeo. I know the designers don’t stay on the boats (and this applies to most brands) so these little details sometimes get overlooked. I will keep pointing out what needs sorting 😎

[@Kneichion]

Would really like to see the boat docking in port...

We have another Mallorca cruising video coming shortly with lots of docking 🥳

[@chm1974]

what is the approximate total cost for this particular trip in summer incl. boat rent, fuel, overnight berth etc.? thanks 👍🏻

[@Boatscouk]

Great question. I would say it’s about £10k inc fuel, berths and dinners out etc .

[@peterlbaldwin511]

An interestimg video for a potential boat owner... Just one small point though the actual name of the boat you were on, is "Buenas" ( Spanish and pronounced as BWAY-NAS)meaning "Good"..No wonder there was a little confusion with the port authorities..!! Jajaja

[@declanmullins2792]

Really enjoyed the video☺

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Declan

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Enjoyable and insightful video - just your pronunciation of Andratx and ignorance of the boat's length in meters were a bit shocking ;) Will be off to Cala D'Or in a bit less than a month myself, but will make do with an 8 meter bow-rider for a few day trips.

[@johnmason129]

Usual great quirky style, am I wrong or did you say the grey tank (poop)flushes out to sea

Yes to sea or tank - you choose 😊

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and I’m really interested in buying something . But I’m not sure if I’m confident enough in handling it myself . Your a great guy and I’m wondering if you would take us for two weeks on one of your boats just to see if it’s for me and the family . What do you think ? 😂

[@Boatscouk]

Sounds like a fair deal 😂

[@Jules551]

Hi James , brilliant vlog, loved every minute , could I ask probably a stupid question because I know it depends on speed , weather etc , but my question is how many miles did you cover and how much did it cost for fuel ⛽️, thank james 👍👍
