£249,000 Yacht Tour : Balt 37 Grand

[@FunkyTruester]

This one has the best accommodation for the money that I've seen yet, after binging hundreds of yacht videos over the past couple years. I'm really glad Nick just posted his Balt 31 video, because somehow I missed the 37 one before (I think a lot of his videos are NOT on any of his watch lists, since I've watched all of those before but always seem to find videos I somehow missed). I'm really impressed by this manufacturer, at least in terms of practicality and price point. Keeping the helm strictly on the upper deck was a smart move for this one, and really freed up the living quarters nicely. Having two full heads was a huge bonus, for sure.

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

That is a lovely little boat. Its crazy the amount of room you have for a 37 footer. Far bigger than expected. I'm impressed by how much the wind noise was dampened inside. Thank you Nick for taking us on a tour of her

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@mev202]

The constant wind whistling in the background brought a real comfortable feeling to this video. These are my favourite types of yacht, it's like a caravan for the water, every Inch is used for storage, everyone has to muck and I bet it'd be a really lovely family time.

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

That is phenomenal, I cannot believe the volume, 2 full heads wits separate showers and 2 good sized cabins. All in a 37 footer. Great tour as always Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@r.a.monigold9789]

A truly economical yacht with penny pinching power and solar charged batteries, makes this an affordable home. Plus - loads of everything - spaces, storage, room, accommodations, cooking, dining and much more. Thanks for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@jwhitaker1507]

Thank you for braving the harsh elements to bring us this special boat, your sacrifice means so much.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@thenorthwatch777]

More storage than a London apartment. This boat is a clear case of designers who really applied their mind. Love it, and the price is good.

[@Kim_Jensen]

Nice little river yacht that offers a lot for the money 😀A weekend with a little family, no problem. Thanks for the tour😊

[@ashleypierce8500]

MAGGIE!!! 1:26, "The Wave" 7:39, I'll take the 35 next to it because of price, but this boat is very neat! You did well getting that fancy mic. Thanks Nick!

[@gloriousradio]

That's phenomenal value for money, as boats go! You can see where some economies have been made to make it affordable, but they've done a superb job and with some rugs for warmth and colour this would make a really charming floating holiday home at a cracking price. Great work, Balt, great work, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@braymarinesales1992]

Many thanks Nick for braving the elements to film our Balt Yacht 37 Grand

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@ashleypierce8500]

Nice boats ya'll!

[@davidmwood560]

Very cool boat indeed. Well designed and practical; and at 2 litres an hour - staggeringly inexpensive to run. I like it: very much. Great tour, thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@eddu4361]

Excellent boat!

[@johnwynne2179]

That's one of the best laid out boats, 3 seating areas, 2 fully equipped bedroom/bathroom areas, nothing else to ask for, apart from decent weather, another brilliant boat tour

[@barryoconnor431]

£249,000!!!!!!!! Please don't tell them that that boat is an absolute cracker for the money or they might put it up!!!! Best river/coastal cruiser I've seen, especially that price!!!!

[@mmsmits2868]

Amazing to have two en-suites with separate showers in a yacht that size! So you can't cross the Atlantic with it, but from where I live, I could easily go at least 1,000 miles before I reach any ocean, and likely much further. What a great alternative to an RV!

[@mmsmits2868]

@Navy1977 Right where the Erie Canal and the Hudson River come together. I can go south to NYC, or west to Chicago and further.

[@KMT15]

It’s a CE category C. Even if it had the range, it likely wouldn’t make it ha

[@markshutt1476]

A quite nice little live aboard. Maybe not the roomiest cabins, but 2 heads with separate showers, oh, and did I mention a little boat? Love the forward seating area, perfect for sundowners, or just hanging out. I don't know if putting a water maker on gains you anything, but I'd look in to it. Also, a small dishwasher. More like this, please. Hope you managed the wind ok. Something We are used to here in the middle of the USA, the wind is almost always blowing.

[@philipmichaelhughes5719]

Excellent cost effective option. Thanks Nick.

[@cameronnixon8186]

Thanks Nick! So many boats these days are copy paste layouts. This was not only a reasonable price but a unique and usable layout. THIS is what I come to Aquaholic for!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it 🙂

[@DavidSmith-nd6pj]

More of these please .a lovely affordable boat .

[@michaelsasylum]

Phenomenal work by Balt, they give you excellent space at an excellent value. We need them to come to the US, so many lakes for them to fill with these boats.

[@zerog5041]

Hi Nick, what a beautiful boat so well thought out and in my mind so ergonomically designed for a live aboard vessel, thanks so much for that!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@teddysdadcory]

Nick, you have shown the BEST boats lately! Your channel keeps getting better and better.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you think so! 🙂

[@rentedmule569]

"It was a dark and stormy night." Cool inland boat - would like to have a generator/electric upgrade option. I really like these rear-cabin layouts. Gives the cockpit a fly-bridge feel without actually needing one. Good stuff Nick!

[@rasferrastfarian739]

What a lovely little boat Nick! - Thank you for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@kylem324]

This looks like a great boat. Impressed with how they managed the space. Hopefully Balt will make another slightly larger model, such as a 45 Grand. Great concept execution.

[@robinday2392]

What a gorgeous boat for the money.and its lovely too see a inland cruiser that you could easily spend allot of time on.Thank you .

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Your brave battling the howling wind, but truly appreciated to bring boating video. Thanks Nick 👍👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@style11guru]

So glad you've started to review Balt Yachts, we fell in love with the 818 titanium at the boat life show in Birmingham, couldn't believe how much boat you got for the money! It was in the same hall as boats 10 times it's price with less space!

[@Baklaha1]

Very nice boat. Thank you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@farahsafeer2907]

Nice one

[@doverivermedia3937]

Ahh, the whistle of the wind through the Hilliards on an autumnal day. Reminds me of many a day tucked behind the clears of my Chaparral awaiting an improvement in the shipping forecast... Nice boat & excellent video as always 👌 .... 🇬🇧

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@davidnolan2098]

For the price, this looks like a great buy. Thanks for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@petergibbs]

This is a really nice boat for UK rivers and then to explore Europe's rivers and canals. The prefect retirement present to give yourself.

[@tteric67]

Great one! Love the two decent heads with separate showers and the different spaces to sit and relax. I guess you can up the solar for a live aboard situation. ❤

[@nickwatkins5321]

fantastic little boat, perfect for the rivers in the UK

[@thetragicyouth]

A veritable Tardis of a boat - much more space inside than you'd imagine. Solar panels are imaginative too. Thanks, Nick!

[@svtilesolutions5640]

Very impressed with this Balt 37 Grand. Probably best in class right now. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed your video tour.

[@clifbradley]

What a great liveaboard. Also as Victoria lobes to point out..perfect for the great loop. But here in Florida, this is the perfect lake boat or good for themTampa Bay area where I live

[@reluctantreligious2003]

What a fantastic boat, for not much money, space and frugal running, excellent

[@stephenmurray9850]

very cute and well thought out spaces. Thanks for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@seanogden927]

That is a cracking little yacht, definitely a good choice for a first boat. both cabins are great, I don't know which I would choose as the master. Nice finishes and layout. Definitely a live on board boat. Great tour as always Nick thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome!

[@singingtoad]

This is a cool little yacht and I like how it has solar panels to assist with power usage, very economical. 👍Thanks for sharing, take care and Cheers!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@godlyobject6509]

Oh my god they brought it back! The aft cabin! It reminds of the Carvers, Silvertons, and a bit of Hatteras aft cabins, particularly from the early 2000's. (I'm American to explain any confusion). It may not be crossing the pond, but what great space. Thanks for the tour, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@markwarn6085]

Good boat, very comfortable, good storage and great price. Nicks tour good as always.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I think I've found my new favourite boat Also, hi Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hi Guy!

[@ZimmerSalar-ff2bi]

Fantastic

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Thanks Nick for another Vid. Nice to see decent size cupboards and drawers. A lot for the money as you said.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No problem 👍

[@Amazonproducts233]

So beautiful and modern yatch

[@jeanlouistupin777]

Magnifique 'petite'..!!unité....très 'efficace'...!!!BRAVO.!!

[@jamesfete8921]

Without the lower helm.. looks like room for a washer/dryer?

[@declinox]

Looks like a great boat for America's Great Loop. My wife and I favor the Greenline 40 or 45 for that, but this gives those a good run for a lot less money. Good stuff! Thanks for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@RudeJags]

Thanks Nick for bringing us this surprisingly spacious boat. For the money, this is an interesting one especially as I've seen a similar finish on boats costing double (or more) than that!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@kokomo9764]

Nice river boat. Great range. Thanks, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@ZimmerSalar-ff2bi]

Lovely nice

[@douglasthompson296]

Hi Nick, a first class affordable inshore/canal/lakes boat. I wish the manufacturer's well. I think it'll give Broom a bit of competition 😎 Cheers DougT

[@johningham4942]

Wow I'm quite taken with this Balt yacht it's a lovely volumous boat for around £250k a perfect livaboard or weekend cruiser nick.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Love it, it's like a slightly cheaper Linssen. I'd have the lower helm - the low bridges in France mean you normally can't run with the canopy up, and it rains a lot!

[@Nativodrac]

Regards from Chile. I love sea and boats/ships so when I found you channel was quite a pleasure and enjoy your tours. One day maybe Ill get my own boat and enjoy our 5K kilometers of coasts.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Hey there Chile! 🙂

[@colinpettit3448]

I'm well impressed with this yacht. Very practical

[@duanetenney3546]

While I love your mega yacht videos this is the type of boat I can see myself buying in retirement to cruise up and down the coast.

[@nicbennett6554]

Certainly was windy when you filmed that!! 💨💨 For the money, that’s an extremely impressive boat. A bargain Broom if you will. Great tour as always Mr B.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Rossbott1964]

I really like this boat….not all singing and dancing but simple practical and and an extremely well thought out layout! Especially with each cabin have its own shower facilities very good idea…one of my favourite small boats you have had on your channel..I’m still a big fan of the Marex 330 though 😁

[@stuartsutherland7664]

This would make a nice holiday home!

[@abrarkhankhan8553]

Nice sir

[@andyraven9855]

It's no Gulf Craft Majesty 175 but considering this is not the type of boat that I would go for if I could afford this type of money for a boat ,but having once toyed with the thought of the canal life on a narrow boat I'd much rather have this for sure, when you consider most narrow boats only have one bed/cabin and the space on this is far better and less claustrophobic. Nick I totally agree with you about it making a good live abroad,thanks for another great upload,still not my type I'd be looking for but I always enjoy seeing different boats of all sorts and what's available out there, all the best from Cornwall 🤗👌🖖

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@KiwiKoNZ]

Definitely a nice little boat … Would suite the family well 😎👍✨

[@iancharlton678]

Smashing cruiser Nick……… very much the holiday boat vibe, reminds me of the Norfolk Broads cruisers in the past. More than adequate power for the inland waterways and canals…… good accommodation for the hull length 🎉🙂

[@oggie1967]

WOW! A brand new yacht that I could actually afford when I retire! Excellent!👍👏👏👏😊

[@rpaasse6453]

Now, for that money a new boat 32 feet, you could live on that or go away for months. Realy nice! Thank you for the great tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@bazjr86]

Nice little cruiser.

[@Broadcastvehicles]

That is definitely a very nice ship! With an interior that is entirely my personal taste. Now I just need to get some money together (what a reasonable price by the way!) and this could just be a great choice?! Great video, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@chickenlegs5219]

Really enjoyed this one. Lots of boat for your money and very charming

[@dazzler5012]

[@davidl6757]

Thanks Nick, I lived on an older 32 foot. Excellent design nowadays. Puts my old woody to shame:).

[@darrylscott4237]

This is a really nice boat for the price. Wow!

[@alisavas9526]

Amazing find! What a lovely liveaboard. When retired, it would be amazing to set off from the UK and reach the Med using Europe's inland waterways (if it can be done in 3 months of course, max we can stay after Brexit unfortunately)

[@orfeosmania8606]

Good boat

[@lunatrics]

Thats a lot of boat for the money. Love the layout.

[@akilby8022]

Great economical cruiser that will be easy to manoeuvre with both thruster. Very nice 👍 thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No problem 👍

[@Mark..P]

Lovely boat and shockingly cheap on the diesel. Love it 🙌

[@wareidav]

Another boat I would be happy bobbing about on / in / with. Is it too cheap for Lake Garda ?

[@deserteagle7032]

Great value for money. The separate showers are great especially on a small yacht- better than a wet room. Wonder how this yacht would cope with rough seas?? Sometimes even our calm seas can turn rough in a few minutes.

[@Balt-Yacht-Shipyard]

It's not designed for the seas, so We've never tested it when the weather's rough. We keep it safe on inland waterways.

[@brownnoise357]

as a Fan of Broom Boats Nick, this has so many similarities It's love at first sifht, other than that single engine. Should be ok of course, but to get to those French or other Canals, I would like a backup, plus with a backup it would be a very nice Kiveabourd, for around Britain , across the Channel and close to shore ventures down the French Coast, Spain, Portugal and down to the Med. Do they have a twin engine option available by any chance Nick ? tbh, 2 x 50 hp would be fine imho. This is one of the small number of acceptable Liveaboard options for when my Sailboat days are over, and frankly right now, it is top of the list, with major points gained from dry heads and sit down showers, with two of each being a basic essential. I'm seriously impressed with this one. Many thanks for the look around tour and my Best Wishes. Bob in Wales. 🤔👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm not sure, but I've no doubt their website would tell you. Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@Balt-Yacht-Shipyard]

Bob, We saw Your email - as of now, there's only single engine option available. This sort of questions happends often lately, so We'll try and look into the idea of 2 motors installed.

[@brownnoise357]

@@Balt-Yacht-Shipyard I’ve received your very prompt email reply, and appreciate that very. Much. I am ok with a single inboard diesel engine that is nicely oversized, but with that, it is really a backup for Sail Power, hopefully, by the time my Sailboat Days are over, you will have a two engined option available, as apart from myself, there are bound to be others who require two engines for the Marine Environment, and tbh, a pair of the Yanmar three Cylinder engines with direct shaft Drives, would be a perfectly acceptable solution, which would be an excellent alternative for this size range of boats, and would serve an extra Market Segment.My Very Best Wishes to you all for your continued success. Keep up the Great Work. Bob in Wales. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧⛵️🌟🌟🌟❤️

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure! 🙂

[@Daynja1]

That is a lot of boat for the money. You can see where they compromised to get it down to that price, (particularly engine and speed) but I think they will find some buyers that don't care about those things.

[@amarsh14]

Hey Nick, I was thinking about how good a live aboard this was and then you mentioned it! Great minds think alike 😎

[@margielambert-sen8253]

Fantastic boat! I'd love to see more of these types of offerings, ie. this price range. It's too bad that it's not suited for the Med though.

[@bollingmore1]

That's a lovely little boat. I often think though when watching your videos, do you have to get special sheets made for the beds as they are often odd shape's?

You can do, there are companies that make them.
