It’s so nice to realize that there are still great craftsmen around who can build something like this. Absolutely beautiful.

这个老爷爷喜欢出售一些年级和他自己差不多大的船。。。。。

[@jamesc4686]

I watched this being built in Ipswich last year. Just had to stop and stare every time I went past and the boatbuilders were always keen for a chat about their work.

[@markuswunsch]

It is absolutely fantastic to see how Spirit evolved and now delivers such amazing modern-classic sailing yachts!

[@kenholt8297]

Excellent, a Nick yacht tour first thing in my morning👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Enjoy!

[@mznb1u]

A beautiful sailing yacht and I love how the accommodations are classically styled yet have all of the modern conveniences and technology. The indirect lighting behind the ribbing of the hull in the salon is a nice touch. While I love the wood decking, I am surprised that they did not integrate some solar panels to assist with the charging of the batteries. It would be interesting to know the rate at which the props charge the battery bank when she is under sail power. Great tour as usual. Merry Christmas and God bless us everyone!

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Marianne and Nick, thank you so much for all they joy you've brought me this year with all your wonderful videos! Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy New Year! 🎅

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's been a pleasure! Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you too. 🙂

[@LCPFrederick]

That wave on the mirror always get me

[@nicbennett6554]

Stunning! Almost seems it should be in an art gallery rather than on the water. Spirit certainly make beautiful yachts!! Thanks for showing us around and sharing the joy. Have a brilliant Christmas at Aquaholic Towers 🥳

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much! Same to you. 🙂

[@tonysalecki]

Spirit are my absolute favorite boats. Particularly the deck house models. Thank you so much for this tour, there’s not a lot spirit yachts tours on KZbin

[@iKvetch558]

I very much prefer a more modern look with a few classic bits, as opposed to this very classic look yacht with a few modern bits. But I must say that Nick's enthusiasm and admiration for this boat is almost infectious enough to get me on board with him. LOL And I am really fascinated by the configuration of the battery bank and charging systems. But as much as I like the fact that the batteries are charged by propellers that double as generator drives, I can't quite go all the way to really liking the whole boat due to the fact that the styling has prevented them from putting any solar panels on the boat. I appreciate the beauty of the lines, and there are a lot of details on it that appeal to my steampunk sensibilities...like the light switches and those lights above the bar area are SO cool...but I am just not enough of the way this yacht focuses so much on form in relation to function. Great boat, Nick, and thanks for the great tour...but I cannot quite get there with you on this one...even with a mirror wave. ✌💯😁

[@nicothechihuahua3167]

Think I have the same opinion not something I would spend my imaginary 2.5m on.

[@E30_Eric]

Nick, that opening line could not be more true. What an exquisite vessel - inside and out.

[@andygrayson7485]

What a thing of beauty ....super pleased it's made here in GB, the craftsmanship is next level, what a team 👍👍👍

[@tteric67]

Probably the most gorgeous sailing boart you have ever shown us! A real gentleman’s boat, brilliant inside and with my favorite Harris Tweed! ❤❤❤

[@Matt-ls1ng]

I was almost surprised not to see charles Oman books on the bookshelf, great yacht! Merry Christmas

[@danielamazing3264]

I am in awe, this is absolutely stunning. I have grown to love sailing yachts and especially beautiful ones like this. Superb levels of quality in the boat as well as the tour. Thanks Nick!

[@seanogden927]

Fantastic yacht, no matter where you are in the world the best view is inside looking at the beautiful interior. Great video Nick thank you.

[@oil_can]

This boat has me drooling.

[@chrishigham7332]

What a wonderful Christmas present!!

[@constantineding8700]

My gosh! Finally someone gets to do a proper walkthrough on this beauty! What's even better is that this lucky man happened to be Nick!

[@Mikeandlucy1]

I think it would be fair to say that I have watched pretty much every one of your Videos Nick but I have seldom seen you so excited about viewing a vessel and you can see why. She is stunning a pure piece of floating art, shame we couldn't see her under full sail, I bet she looks gorgeous.

[@johnhickman2915]

That mahogany is gorgeous. The quality of build on this boat is something to be very proud of. Thanks nick

[@strider6920]

What a beautiful yacht that truly uses the beauty of wood. Pure class and elegance. Nice use of the limited space and still sleeps six! I love the environmental design. We need to look after our planet, and this gives you luxury without burning fuels or costing a fortune. I could tell you love this as much as I do. Thanks for showing us this true beauty Nick 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's very much a pleasure! 🙂

[@spizzenergi2292]

Not wanting to be a fly in the ointment, but look up Lithium mining in South America……things aren’t ever what they seem.

[@strider6920]

@@spizzenergi2292 I agree that Lithium mining is not great, but we all are guilty. I bet all of us have lithium batteries powering phones, tablets, power tools, remotes, toys and watches. But we still buy them. It however is better than the use of oil based resources that are controlled by highly corrupt nations or companies, and has led to wars and greed. I do prefer cleanly produced liquid hydrogen fuel cell systems, but it is hard to produce and not widely available. I still prefer this for its wind power and propeller power generation. The only downside is the need for batteries. We have not yet achieved truly environmentally clean transportation but this is closer and has incredible elegance with it. 😊

[@13thdukeofwybourne69]

Interesting to know where the mahogany wood is sourced from.

[@hb1338]

@@spizzenergi2292 Look up cattle farming in the USA.

[@graemewoodruff9988]

Just stunning😮

[@nolanrunciman5064]

The interior of this boat is stunning, and the captain's seat........wow!

[@petergibbs]

A modern day Gentleman's yacht. Not my thing, but I'm glad someone is making them.

[@claredonachie5013]

You were right the other day about having something really special to see! Such fun to see something so different from the norm…

[@MikeW80]

I’ve never really been a fan of sailing, but this tour has opened my eyes to something beautiful, classic and practical. What an amazingly beautiful craft. Truly beautiful! Great video!

[@anthonybaker5896]

I have seen a few Spirt yachts at the Southampton boat show, they are stunning

[@ericshutter5305]

Just 2.25 ?? that is a bargain! And then I saw 2021 ... just WOW ... a new one 😍

[@cbrusharmy]

Ooo, what a treat!

[@g9rud]

Don’t know what to say Nick, words fail me, as someone that loves sailing boats, this just takes your breath away, it is absolutely stunning. Without a doubt the finest piece of craftsmanship you have featured on your channel. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching! 🙂

[@wrathgar11]

A new favourite ⛵

[@roxy5759]

It's the kind of boat that makes you want to open a really nice bottle of scotch, smoke a cigar, and read one of the classics. I don't do any of those, but if I had this boat I might 😂

[@georgezahorcak7764]

I fainted again!!! Your tours are prefect. This vessel is so beyond my imagination. Thank you so much! George

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marspp]

Had the honour of sailing the 90 year old yacht Shiris down the east coast of the US. This brings back happy memories.

[@davidmartin2815]

Wow. Hats off to whoever purchases this over a plastic fantastic.

[@eddiezorro1]

Most definitely I can see myself sailing the 7 sea in this Beauty. I Love it.

[@iancharlton678]

Essence of Jules Verne, big adventures and epic journeys…….. Beautiful craft 🙂🇬🇧

[@lougubrious9624]

That interior is literally where I want to live out my dream life!

[@TexasStormChaser]

My father who is in his 70s would LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEEEE that boat. That is absolutely not a vessel for a younger crowd.

[@wombatsyoutube]

Wow! Even the great commentary we're used to from Nick can't do this one justice. She's too nice to use!

[@rdembow]

Stunning and gorgeous

Interior layout of fever dreams, it could make sitting at harbor feel like an adventure in of itself lol

[@chrisoleary9876]

Merry Christmas & happy New Year Nick and Marianne! Thanks so much for all the hard work you do the rest of the year! This yacht is a true masterpeice!

Wow! That's all I can think of is WOW!

That is one magnificent yacht. Form, fit and function are spot on. Thanks for a great tour Nick. I got the impression that you liked it too 😀

[@berryrijnbeek5938]

Already sold at the stern........... beautiful!!!

[@RobEJC]

wOw - simply amazing. I found myself reaching out toward the screen I was watching this on, just so I could TOUCH everything on that yacht.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@Andy_M986]

Wow wow wow!!! Stunning boat in every way, love that it has a slight Speak Easy vibe about it, Total class.

[@adamroach3407]

I know Spirit has made some fancier boats but this one is currently my absolute favorite of all of these gorgeous boats

[@peterjohnson724]

Hats off to Berthon for bringing this to your attention Nick. A beautiful vessel!

[@AlexZafer]

Draw dropping gorgeous. Thanks for bringing this one to us.

[@johndavies8590]

Absolutely wonderful. I would be frightened to take it out to sea in case it got wet! Thank you so much for showing this. It really is a glimpse into another world. No shiny plastic, just quality. John

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LordGrenville1]

Work of art! Great craftsmanship and a thing of beauty. Your enthusiasm and admiration was obvious. Thank you for a brilliant tour.

[@goodbyemrchips4174]

I'm surprised at the price. A huge helping of quality yacht for 2.25 million. She has the feel of a bygone era, but with all the benefits of hi tech. The attention to detail and the level of crafted cabinet work smacks of passion & care. Thank you for yet another wonderful video.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi Nick, You did it a super beautiful sail yacht this is this Spirit 65DH from 2021 a real WOW factor great everywhere that beautiful wood work from the out side or inside the nice windows great galley with gorgeous tableware 3 sleeping places 2 heads all super nice and then this sails or speed with a electricmotor welcome in the new century wow. But do I hear there a new Smugglers 3 😉🤭 Thank you Nick indeed a stunning yacht ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@robertoaprile2325]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@davidgottfried3297]

Speechless. If you see this boat and do not want to go sailing, then something is wrong with you.

[@scottdynek2728]

I was surprised to see protruding hinges on the chart table! I know, I know, nobody uses charts anymore 😢 beautiful yacht thanks Nick!!!

[@kaspar_1982]

I imagine the name for this masterpiece as Old Britannia, a gold sovereign at the base of her keel. extraordinary. wood, leather, Harris Tweed. its unbelievable that this is still produced, proof positive that the west can still manufacture the highest quality of human endevour. the price of this vessel would almost be irrelevant compared to the Bristol maintenance that such a jewel demands. truly a gem of the highest order. i am giddy and drunk with Aquahol!

[@TillerQueen]

If James Bond had a boat....oh, wait! This is just sheer class. If I saw somebody with one of these in a marina they'd get my full respect (and a healthy amount of envy!)

[@colinpettit3448]

Nice to see a teapot and Wedgewood china on this classy yacht

Art indeed. The woodwork is spectacular

This is the most stunning "modern" sailboat I have ever seen. Just lovely! On a different note, I would love to see a tour of one of the "Border Force" ships! I bet you have enough sway and influence to make it work now Nick! :D

[@markshutt1476]

It most certainly is a stunning boat. The saloon makes me want to settle in with a good whiskey and friends. Having said that, to me, this boat is simply about impressing people and not meant for long periods sailing. That's perfectly fine, seems worth the money for doing just that. Now, I think I will fantasize about that good whiskey on that boat. Thanks, Nick, for getting us on this beautiful boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm not sure I see that, you could cruise the world in this.

[@markshutt1476]

@@AQUAHOLIC no doubt, but, for me, I'd want a bit more space, at least 1 separate shower. I really don't care for wet heads. Anyway you look at this, it is a absolutely stunning boat.
