£2.5 Million Yacht Tour : Fairline Squadron 68

[@paulkennedy477]

"The last thing you need out at sea, is loose stools" Thank you Nick, you have made my day.

[@andyelliott8027]

They look very good, if that's a sample of the stools they use.

[@I-am-awayTOM]

Very funny! Good catch. Sorry Nick.

[@theroamingpt7648]

😂😂 also made my day. Loose stools are always a code red

[@annuarabdulghanimisbah7800]

[@lalaoct16]

I agree, made my day as well. Nick I love your sense of humor.

I can't believe I became addicted to these dam Yacht videos

[@nightshift7963]

Im an old semi retired uber driver and i cant stop watching these. I love what they do with limited space. I like these and tiny homes

[@gregharris9602]

Yep same feelings 😅😮

[@thewanderer5939]

Especially bc I’m broke

[@vpa0]

...Yet, the worst part is that you will likely never own one.

[@RVJunke1]

What's MOST impressive about your videos is you take the time to learn the boats before you show them, just BRILLANT...no fluff, just details. Honestly, I think the BEST reviews of boats. Well done mate!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them! 🙂

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Fairline have out done themselves with this one. She is gorgeous. The finish through out is staggering with all the wood grain matching up. If I win the Euromillions tonight, I will buy one. thank you so much Nick for showing us around this fine lady

[@HistoricUlster]

A Euromillions eludes me!

[@oneknowwhatsup]

Still that 58 under 400k is my favourite fairline, it was one of best boat videos ever, keep up good work.

[@jaffaholland4039]

OMG, what a boat, Fairline have smashed this out of the ball park, these will sell fast and in numbers. The quality of the workmanship is stunning.

[@stefkesgts]

This is the one for me. Everything is perfect, the colors the wood the size. I miss only one thing....the money too buy this beauty. Thnx Nick for this tour.

[@MilosMilo-on5mm]

This one is not just redesigned and modernized yacht, it is a piece of art! Thank you Nick for bringing this one to us!

[@johnhickman2915]

All, I can say is WOW, I like the upgrades on this boat

[@jamesellsworth9673]

The 'extra equipment' on this boat at this price point lifts it to a new level of desirability! The option to add refrigerator/freezer and storage space, the washer/dryer, and even the ironing board make for comfortable cruising.

[@JackBahh]

I'd not be surprised if the price tag in the description is the starting price, before all of the add ons. 😨😨

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Great to see Fairline's Squadron range still setting the standard. Always liked their innovation and finish standard.

[@matthewrawlings884]

I'm lost for words, simply perfect. I'll have to watch a second time now just to take in all the details. It's great to see you take your time Nick on the tour. Awesome job :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you :)

[@OrangeAgent5]

As being a huge fan of the Princess Yachts because of your videos, I really have to admit, that I also wouldn´t say "No" to this Fairline beauty. Perfect size, perfect finish, owner´s manageable, wonderful seating area in the front and a beautiful flybridge on top. As always thanks for the comprehensive tour...

[@MoultrieGeek]

I love it when manufacturers listen to their dealers and customers and make requested changes to their kit. So many insanely clever touches that on their own are small but together are a huge improvement. Fascinating tour Nick and I can tell from your enthusiasm that you really like what Fairline has done.

[@visionist7]

Aquaholic's most comprehensive tour ever! Now imagine this level of detail on a 200+ footer tour. That would be a two part video

[@johansjoberg5751]

I must say that the fit and finish of this boat is remarkable. Never seen anything like it in this class. Almost over the top

[@spicydragon3881]

Fairline has always made a beautiful quality boat and this one is no exception. Every detail is nicer than the last. Just incredible. Thank you Nick for another incredible and incredibly detailed tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@timtownsend4151]

Loose stools and big drawers? The spirit of Carry On lives! On a serious note, that is one of the most exquisite boats I have ever seen. Just beautiful!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Ooooh, matron!

[@andrewr3973]

Quite possibly the best boat I've seen on your channel.

[@DontYouWantToLiveForever]

The four programmable drawer fridges/freezers in the galley is a nifty idea. The engine room access and height was unexpected and amazing. The lighting variability, spacious rooms and heads, right down to the flags on the side of her, all very impressive. Thanks Nick.

[@BIGGELATO]

This one is exceptional. I have never heard of magnetic doors on anything but stores. It's absolutely ingenious! It's also very elegant. Magnificent yacht!

[@paulfrost4678]

I’ve always thought fairline to be the noisy neighbours to princess and sunseeker , but wow this is up there with the best in this size , and to keep the price as low as it is . Well done fairline a great boat with amazing detailing. Great video Nick .

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@paulfrost4678]

This video was 19 minutes longer than the one you did on the Majesty 140 , I hope it dose as well

[@danielamazing3264]

What a lovely yacht; this is a prime example of where Fairline are heading and is a demonstration of what they have learnt in the past couple of years. I have always liked Fairlines and especially this one it looks so refined! Brilliant detailed tour Nick, thanks!

[@ZicajosProductions]

Of the many videos I’ve seen on your channel this vessel has really stood out to me. Gives me that same special feeling that Princess does.

[@Orbiitoclast]

I was a fan since 40k subscribers and in those years this has been my favourite boat

[@grantgullikson9018]

Nick , You have hit a home run again with this little Yacht . This boat has a Ton of conviencs to offer . Great little boat . Your amazing Nick to bring us such great boats like this. !! Cheers Nick , Your the very Best at these Yacht reviews. You are not boring the least. !!

[@CamCarr]

What an incredible vessel. When I first started this video I was saying “how can Nick possibly find 40 minutes worth of video in this boat?” But this is immaculate. I wouldn’t change a thing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you. Day Three coming soon! 😃

[@g9rud]

What a classy yacht, they really are on top of their game with this beauty. A real work of art. Pour me a glass of fizz and sign me up… in my dreams . Great tour Nick

[@B4P787]

Ok i think fairline is now my favorite brand this is stunning all the finishes are just wow very nice

[@ttkplays9844]

usually i don't watch a full 40 minute video, but I just really really wanted to see this boat! Well done for making it interesting!

[@brucesnyder8910]

This might be my favorite boat! Set up is perfect. You capture it so well, Nick with your eye for the details and styling! I wouldn’t see half of the things you point out. Thanks for another awesome video. Great way to start my day!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it! 🙂

[@grahambrown8123]

Nick, for a modern boat simply the best you have featured - beautiful.

[@davidfmelbourne3473]

The massive difference that minor changes have made, turn this boat into a leader. The utility room option does wonders for flexibility and OMG! An ironing board!!! And I'm in total agreement with the other commentors on the quality of the finishes. Owner's cabin is just superb. Outstanding. Great value for money.

[@markjackson2276]

Its laughable me watching this really, imagining.......but in another world I would have to put this in the top 10 of the tours I've watched! Beautiful boat ,well done Fairline and thanks Aquaholic.

[@mmsmits2868]

The entire time you were going over this gorgeous boat I kept thinking that it's a 68 that's pretending to be an 88. So much space on this, they did a masterful job! Thanks so much for the tour and all the hard work putting this video together!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure! :)

[@martincarpenter6487]

I appreciate that you separated out the adverts/sponsors at the beginning instead of having them over the first bit of filming.

[@landrum3893]

Excellent. The design and finish quality of this one is absolutely amazing. It feels degrees above others while also feeling classic and timeless. Thank you, Nick, for another "effortlessly" professional tour. You are the best.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@simonburrow1198]

Big Improvement on the previous generation but that was also fantastic. Having worked for the Caterpillar dealership for 31 years I do like to see the C18 engines. Back in the day ACERT was at the time the biggest investment that they had ever made in the history of Caterpillar. The new layout is excellent in the saloon and I do like the practical utility room, it's just the little things. For a Friday afternoon this is great viewing once again Nick. Have a great weekend.....

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, you too!

[@ThisUsernamewastaken004]

one of the most beautifully decked out boat in this segment

And a Hugh thanks to Nick, to bringing us this very nice Fairline Squadron 68 what a great show again from you a beautiful yacht this is and so very well spec in all way but old thinks come back so like the ironboard so good and it was a little climb but there is a cyroscoop on board Thank again Nick I can hardly wait for your next show

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@easybigun7825]

That is a very beautiful boat. I especially like what they've done in the salon by separating the dining area and giving you a nice lounge, rather than the combined lounge and dining area of the old 68. So glad the ironing board is back. Thank you for the tour by the way.

[@Boatscouk]

Fantastic boat and video ! Thanks Nick! We are taking orders for this new model now 😊

@@AQUAHOLIC the bell will alert me, oh, have you any desires to do a sea trial of the Targa 46 that you covered in lockdown, it's a lovely boat and no one has (in this country) done one as yet. I know that they're a lovely motorboat and I am taken with this boat, perhaps may even contact Wessex Marine and purchase one. 😀

[@nickwebb9290]

This Fairline is truly magnificent, such wonderful design and thought has gone into this amazing craft. Thanks for that superbly detailed tour Nick, I’m sure it was as much a pleasure for you to do as it was for us to watch 😁

My pleasure! :)

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Hugely expensive, but you can see where your money is being spent. I love the opening sequence, btw, - an unusual viewpoint at the same level as the flybridge. Nicely done.

[@rentedmule569]

By far my favorite boat you've ever shown. - Hits all of the right buttons for me, and I bet it's amazing looking at night. Choked on my coffee at the loose stools line! Great tour as ever.

[@illyakuryakin5024]

This boat is a home run in every way. Perfect!

[@claudemaassen2963]

Most assuredly the best one, in that range. If I had the money, that would be my choice. Great presentation.

[@kezboardgaming6344]

Wow, what a crew cabin. That is actually perfectly usable for a guest.

[@romac9516]

Holy guacamole it's so plush and opulent. Superb tour and all the better for being 40 minutes, top work Nick.

[@benwilson7351]

Stunning boat. Fairline have really gone up in my estimation with this. 👍

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. The upgrades and changes are perfect. A proper opening roof, not slats. A rival to the F70 (previous 68). Tons of space for long trips, a winner for Fairline. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊 looking forward to the Aquaholic trial.

[@Far2hip]

🤣🤣🤣LMAO!!!🤣🤣🤣 You definitely got me in the funny bone Nick when you slipped in that “The last thing you need out at sea is loose stools”, lol. Perfect comedic timing my friend. Perfect. 👍🏻😎👍🏻 This Fairline is probably the most perfect planing hull set up I’ve seen thus far. I have a hard time embracing much of the overly modernized interior of a lot of these vessels either approaching or actually being in the category of super yachts. They just seem to have a cold feeling that’s not very “nautical” if that makes sense. But the folks at Fairline have done a spectacular job of softening the edges while leaving an upper level quality appearance without losing the nautical feel of that interior. The cabin layout including a separate genuine utility space in a central location along with the practical amenities make this vessel SO perfectly appointed as a legitimate live aboard yacht. I would be perfectly comfortable living full time aboard this vessel and not feel I was making any compromises. Fairline really hit the mark here with this Squadron 68. It is damn near perfect as an under 80 foot planing hull style yacht. And something that is quite rare for me is how completely I love the interior of this vessel. Wow. A legitimate WOW, lol. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

[@simongood9460]

Ah the return of the ironing board... and a classic Nick joke (loose stools...). Seriously nice boat, I love the mix and match fridge/freexer compartments and the utilty room is just perfect. Fairline will sell loads of these (and probably in that configuration). Another top 10 candidate for 2022 and we're only in March. Thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mikenelson1495]

Loving this Fairline very very much! Watched it a few times now. The design is impeccable with gorgeous lines and woods, very smooth and seamless layouts! Lots of thought and experience has gone into this one! I’m all for the details and the way the rooftop opens up completely or the design of the store room, clean front of the boat, the lighting, i could go on! Brilliant! 🥰🥰🥰

Very nicely finished and thoughtfully designed boat. Well done done Fairline! Be great to see more fairlines on here

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick I was salivating watching this video I love everything about this yacht, the layout, the cabins, the bathrooms, the technology, the wood and even the crew cabin . Fairline have outdone the competition with this beauty have a great Friday bud

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You too!

[@Ognir1962]

That one is just about perfection!!! I was surprised not to see a water maker though considering all the cold storage on board for those lengthy times away from the dock. All said though she’s a beauty. Thanks as always Nick for sharing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

A water maker is an option, but it's rare on this size of boat.

[@C2K777]

There's some really smart, quality of life, features here. The adjustable fridge/ freezer capacity. Portable audio additions, 4th cabin/ day heads/ utility room config options ( I was thinking 'what a waste not to put a washer/dryer in there till I saw it elsewhere). It's like they gathered up a bunch of repeat owner-operators and said "tell us what would make everyday improvements for you" or they just told their naval architects & designers "make a boat that YOU'd live on for a month" The fly bridge is outstanding with such a massive amount of useable room and the sense to leave a decent section fixture/ fitting free to allow adaptable owner use. I can see a DJ setup back of it and a party for plenty for the night with space to bbq, shuffle to the beats, sit down and lounge out all at the same time then a networking event for 10-20 the next day ( well perhaps the Monday after!) Now quick question: Does anyone know a Russian whose brought one and needs to offload it at a good price (( my apologies, Friday afternoon mischievousness meant I couldn't stop myself))

[@markkinney815]

"The last thing you need out to sea is loose stools," said Nick in this video. Not sure if this means the same thing in the UK as it does in the US, but I'll give him credit either way. I grew up on the Mississippi River "messing about in boats," as they say in Wind in the Willows. It gets in your blood and I have to admit I check this site every few days to dream about the boat I will one day own in the Florida Keys for trips to the Bahamas and Jamaica. For now, as a Minnesotan, I'm heading to Lake of the Woods on the Canadian border over St. Pat's Day weekend and will drive my truck at least 10 miles onto the ice to go fishing with my equally stupid friends. It's March, wish us luck!

[@davidodonovan1699]

That woodwork is amazing

[@maxb6891]

Perfect fairline.!! Another cabin would have been nice for such a big boat.

[@johnpeel6601]

You clearly weren’t listening.

[@gareth36]

Stunning craftsmanship,worth every penny if I ever find that winning ticket. Great tor as always Nick.

[@Kim_Jensen]

Thank you so much for this MEGA tour of this gem of a boat. Fairline still has that extremely lovely woodwork, that i dare to say Princess has toned down a bit. You are the very best at making the viewer feel right beside you, and thats nice companionship. Great :D

[@Chalto]

I keep thinking I've seen the nicest boat yet, and then you go and show another even better. Fairline have simply done an amazing job with this boat, and the craftsmanship is top notch for sure. Love the utility area, rather than see bits crammed into smaller spaces. If I had the money for such a nice boat, this would be close to the top, but because I want to be less reliant on fossil fuels, electric will be top, just as with my car.

[@CydeWeys]

Agreed on your last point. These boats are so fossil-fuel-intensive, and yet, you hardly ever even see a single solar panel on them even though they seemingly would work so well to handle ancillary electrical needs on these boats. The roof of the flybridge, for example: Rather than being retractable, if it were solid and had solar panels on it, you could get several kW of capacity out of it from having solar panels on top, which would help save a lot of diesel that would otherwise be burnt by the generator to run the ship's systems and lighting. Yet none of the yacht manufacturers seem to do this? The yachts already have the batteries for it!

[@howardhegg5446]

You have done it again Nick. !! For a sub 75 ft boat this craft has a awful lot to offer . Thanks Nick for a great review .

[@terrydouglas2777]

This is a very nice 68 foot boat/live aboard. I could see myself living on this boat if I lived along the coast. The utility room down stairs, I'd have a washer and dryer separately instead of a combo unit because they do fail and you can't fix it yourself most times and have to get help to fix it. I like this boat and I really appreciate the next video of the sea trial of it. I seen this video 2 years ago but missed the sea trial and I remember now I just have surgery an forgot to watch it. Great video Nick. I truly want to say, Thank you for making all these videos for us to watch. I appreciate them all.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome, thanks for watching them! I hope you're better.

[@timk3939]

Very nice indeed. Has more class and less bling than some of the Sunseekers and Princesses, a really timeless interior. Like the details you went into Nick such as the holding tank pumbing to minimise noise. I can only imagine it will be epic with the larger Cat Diesels.

[@rickyreeve8484]

I love Fairline yachts. I think they are my favourite.

[@thanksfernuthin]

I'm pretty sure buying one of these new isn't an option for the vast majority of us (could be wrong). But since I've been checking out yacht world once in a while I look at these with an eye to 10 years or more in the future. Add ten to twenty years to that beautiful boat and it IS something a lot of people could manage if they really wanted to. You're not going to want to wait that long but just know there are boats available now that were fantastic 10-20 years ago that have probably been well taken care of.

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

I like how you're always informed on the various options available throughout the boat. The utility room was brilliant, I wonder if one could opt to have washer/dryer in there instead? Would make sense to me on a longer trip. Foldout seat in the back was a real nice touch.

[@VirtanenDK]

You did see the washer/dryer combo, he showed?

Before I saw this vid I thought James was nuts for ditching Princess for Fairline but now I've seen this I take that back - this is right up there! I wonder if you can have a small office instead of the utility room - that would be useful.
