$3.6 Million Explorer Yacht Tour : Outer Reef 650 Classic Motor Yacht

[@KendalMike]

I love that there are three routes to the engine room and all served by proper steps rather than ladders. Great video as always, Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@user-jz5ui5xo4d]

This is a proper house.The woodwork is amazing and that galley absolutely fantastic.This boat looks so inviting.

[@StarShine_ShineOn]

This is one of the smartest and most lovely yachts I have ever seen. If only I had the millions of dollars it takes to own it. Ahhh, my new dream boat. Thank you!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you liked it 🙂

[@alpal1966]

What a great channel! I've looked at many boat channels this is by far the best in my opinion. I've been following this channel for a couple of years. Nick your boating knowledge and dedication to your craft his second to none. Keep the videos coming!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind. I'll try to! 🙂

[@jamesmclellan6301]

Probably the best live aboard self drive boat you’ve toured. Can’t fault it tbh. Cheers Nick.

[@mattmacpherson1033]

Classic boat design. Proper and elegant without ostentation.

[@chrispowell6992]

I can't believe this is a 65' boat. 😮 wow!

[@ronen160]

What a beautiful boat, Nick!! And another great tour, as usual!! This one looks like a true "yacht", with the warm woods and quality throughout. For anyone who wants to travel the seven seas and is not in a hurry, this one is perfect.

[@kevinmcintyre6503]

Hi Nick, yet ANOTHER lovely boat to enjoy. Beautiful boat. Would make a wonderful live aboard. I am going to add an observation that there are at least 2 kinds of boats and you sort of alluded to it. Some of the yachts you show are “show-off” boats. Gorgeous, glamorous, over the top party boats made for warm places and one imagines them with 40 people in tiny bathing suits drinking champagne and taking selfies for their instagram accounts. Then there are boats like this one. A boat owned by a lifelong boater, likely middle age to older, self-captained, taking frequent or longer journeys with perhaps another couple and just enjoying a refined, well appointed, calm and serene environment with all the amenities they need. This is more of a wealthy real-person boat as opposed to a yacht owned by someone who is super-rich. It’s great to see both types, but I think I like this type best! Thanks for sharing such a great variety.

[@raydf]

Beautiful boat, thanks! Based on the adjectives you use for boats just like this ("classic but not dated") I'm pretty sure that your heart is set on one of this type. I share your love for them, by the way!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I do like them... 🙂

[@Steve-Cross]

She is fantastic. I often go on the feel I have, when you show us around. This little beauty is giving me good vibes. Cheers Nick. 👍

Glad you like it!

[@MrPeteJMc]

Excellent Nick. Love trawler style yachts. Thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@markshutt1476]

I'm loving this boat, be a great live aboard. Think I'd want the laundry in that aft utility room, under the "bunk", and open up the closet space in the cabin area. Still easy access. Very impressive boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Not a bad plan

[@rikardseltveit2732]

Easier to have the washing machine outside the bedrooms and the attached bathrooms. That's where you keep most of your laundry, clothes, bed linens and towels. Short distance for dirty laundry and clean laundry.

[@markshutt1476]

@rikardseltveit2732 for sure, but would still prefer to open that space up for something else. The laundry behind the engine room is easily accessible, 3 ways, plus if guests have been playing in the water, you are right there for towels and wet whatever. Probably wash those more often than anything else. Just my personal preference.

[@ionychel]

Very intriguing and interesting design. I just love these boats and yachts with these kinds of "hidden" or "secret" spaces and cabins. What a great boat. It was also a treat to once again hear a dishwasher singing us the song of its people 😁. Thanks for yet another brilliant tour Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@Ulbre]

You saved the best for last....the engine room...love it.....and love even more that there is some bench space with a vice to fabricate and fix something whilst underway....top notch :)

[@fidel681]

Late watching my favourite Aquaholic channel but what a classy boat, could happily spend months cruising around the Caribbean in this. Beautiful wood fittings, and daughters boyfriend would be exstatic with all that space😂... Nice one Nick. 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@clayborkholm2167]

Wow, wow, wow! My favorite boat to date. Love Flemings, but at 65' this is an comparative steal. Love job as ever, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it! 🙂

[@MesaperProductions]

I LOVE that indoor/outdoor day head!

[@jaimiemadden590]

This boat has a very exceptional main deck It really delivers on the space offering a lot of Functionality. The 2300 mile range is unique for a 65’ , Very glad you brought this one up on tour Thank you Nick

[@ironhorsehero1988]

On most of your tours I usually see something I don’t really care for but this beauty, just take my money I’ll take it exactly as it is. You definitely wouldn’t be struggling to live on this, great space, comfortable, really good range and enough power to take you clear of any worsening weather. Thanks Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Nice yacht!! Well designed and thought out. It seems bigger than 65'. Thanks for another great tour Nick!!

Wooow! What I can say..... That was absolutely stunning! Absolutely beautiful yacht.... Very lively boat, beautiful, just beautiful!!! Absolutely well done Nick! Thanks!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much!

[@gap9992]

That's really good space management. No real compromises for a 65' boat. It also has the perfect balance between luxury and practicality in terms of finishes. It even has a main deck day heads, that can be accessed from the outside! Little things that make a difference in day to day use. I would love to be able to pop into the engine room directly from the owner cabin if the need arose

[@gregmcmullen6698]

I appreciate the "sexy" of new boat design but there is no equal to the stately stature of blue water "semi-explorer" yachts. This is one of them. I picture myself living on all of them and this one would be in my top few. Thanks again Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome! 🙂

[@eddye.2358]

Excellent Yacht tour again Nick. Lovely interior. I love it.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Well presented as always. A proper Englishman touring a Cowboy home away from trawler - priceless! 🍷

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly! 🙂

[@maryholder3795]

Home from home going round the world home, a couple with either friends or children. Comfortable with safety in mind. Nice classic decor, restful colours. 2,000 nautical miles at 9 knots so it needs to have comfortable living areas. Much to like about this yacht..

[@sheumais63]

Very nice indeed. It's easy to imagine wandering about in that over the summer months in great comfort. Daughter's boyfriend's accommodation is well appointed too.

[@donnataylor9294]

I'm ready to move in. Beautiful woodwork. Very warm and welcoming. Just wow!

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

I like this boat a lot more than I thought I would. For people in the US this is a great option for cruising up the coast or the great loop, down to the keys or St Thomas etc.

Hi Nick, This is a good looking yacht from Outer Reef 650 Classic Motor Yacht and it is wow with a cozy salon the open galley in the middle and bridge and dining together very nice below you find 3 cabins all ensuite great love the wood choice on top the fly bridge and tender deck looks also great Thank you Nick a empresive yacht this Outer Reef ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@michaelcaffari3997]

Well done Nick, bit of a Tardis this one😅 one of the best 65ft yachts I've ever viewed on this channel. I could really go for this ( if I had a few million to spare). Still enjoy watching and dreaming.

Brilliant boat! Loved the layout and practicality, although I’d want to send it to Setag for an interior redesign. Great tour as always Mr B, thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@bradvitz2531]

I think Outer Reef might be insulted by that considering this is a new boat. But, I do agree that the first company to take one of these traditional(in hull shape and layout) yacht designs and introduce a bit more modern style.

[@nicbennett6554]

@ probably 🫣 Didn’t realise it was new as the decor looked dated. Oops! Bering do modern interiors will explorer range.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Love this boat. I still think the Fleming 65 is the one to beat, but even Fleming could learn a thing or two about accommodation layout - 3 doubles all ensuite is fantastic. Very worthy of the Aquaholic treatment.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you liked it! 🙂

[@pierre.a.larsen]

I usually prefer the Nordhavns, but the open plan main deck is superb for a cruising couple/family.

[@pierre.a.larsen]

That is one very nice boat. It looks solid and of high quality. Great tour as usually - thx. It would be great if you could show the cockpit a bit better in the future - this one had no people I think. The one level is great for cruising (and there seems to be an electric operated partition between the bridge and the galley). The utility room and the engine room are superb. Compared to the fast motorboats with the bling - you get a lot of boat with a lot of equipment for the money with this one.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I nipped through the cockpit fairly quick;ly as was trying to get away from the annoying helicopter noise! 😣

[@MrBoom246]

I do love an explorer yacht 👍👍👍

Great tour of a beautiful boat. As much as I like tours of super-mega-yachts, something like this (used) is much closer to my budget.

These are my favourite type of boat, love it.

[@KeithArmitage-n4h]

Great tour, as ever, Nick. What a wonderfully stylish vessel. Absolutely stunning, very classy and stylish. However, it's let down by the all white blandness of the flybridge. A, good few, thousand pounds would address this and make it compliment the interior. Loved the engine room access, with the workshop/ daughter's boyfriend accommodation.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

The American market generally prefers white GRP flooring outside to teak soles, see it all the time, but it could be done in teak if a customer wanted it I'm sure.

In case others were wondering, as I've not noticed it be mentioned: A Fleur camera may refer to a FLIR camera, which is a thermal imaging camera manufactured by FLIR Systems. These cameras detect infrared radiation (heat) and create thermal images, often used in various industries and fields like: Home inspections: Detecting heat loss, water leaks, or electrical issues. Military and law enforcement: Surveillance and night vision. Search and rescue: Finding people in low-visibility conditions. Wildlife observation: Tracking animals in darkness or dense foliage. (From chatGPT)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Absolutely right! 👍🏻

[@ianyoung9837]

I could live on that boat, there's so much to like about it.

[@keithianlocke]

Impressively spacious 65ft yacht. @Nick you should get on as many of their models as you can, as they are so configurable. The 720/740 Deluxebridge looks impressive. And the new 780 Adventurer looks awesome. Would love to see them make a 780 Adventurer with Deluxebridge option. Not only are these great sizes for owner-operater, but they also have very reasonable draft making close to shore and even some inland waters in UK accessible.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Stay tuned..! 😃

This Outer Reef 650's, interior reminds me of grandma's, it's stoic but very approachable and comfortable. As with most boats, there just a boring white. (one of my pet peeve) the outside of the boat needs... color

[@Jolie_sailor]

I love the fact that it's not an "IKEA" boat - Just can't stand them. Lovely review as always.

[@skuffbuzzer]

This is an absolutely fantastic boat. Thank you very much for the presentation. Personally, however, I think Nordhavn manages the balance between modern and classic even better. I also like that Nordhavn no longer uses steel frames for the doors and windows so you will not have to fear bubbles underneath the paint at a later moment. So probably I rather would go with a N68. Still the outer reef is a stunning boat. ❤️ I love your videos! Please keep them coming 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Great to hear, I'll do my best! 🙂

[@SeanHendy]

Have long been a fan of these long range trawler yachts. Other makers include Selene and Grand Banks/

[@alanpaton694]

That to me is very very close to perfection. My ultimate boat had previously been a Nordhaven but was disappointed with the latest model. This would be my choice to explore the world if I could afford it. Made in Spain I believe but I’ve never heard of them

[@zerog5041]

Some geezer called Phil Collins made a record about your "Something in the Air", another interesting fact!

[@davidmwood560]

Very nice indeed. A proper getaway boa

[@mungo7136]

Sitting on a loo - with your back (and tubing) next to your main fridge. And doors in the middle to the saloon-kitchen-cockpit so "everything happens in the cabin is ... shared by everybody" Of course I understand interior limits, but at the same time it tickles my laughing points. Bon apetit!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I think the general idea is that you close the door once you are in there... And if you're so shy that you can't stand the idea of anyone knowing that you have normal bodily functions like everyone else, you can even go outside and come in that way, retaining the mystique that you never ever go to the toilet! Or even, don't use it at all, use one of the ones on the lower deck! Lots of options for those troubled by such concerns. 🙂

[@mungo7136]

@@AQUAHOLIC no doubt about that of course 😁 As well as much depends on people on board - family that lives together for years vs. couple inviting some friends for occasional trip. I am just trying to compare interior size to Nordhavens but I am unable to make conclusion. I do not know if the latter ones are taller but they seem to me to have larger interior volume - especially as they have separated cockpit. On the other hands those you made video about had IMHO often much smaller owners cabin. But I really love the wood finish as it is not glossy and that antechamber to engine space is clearly quite nice single cabin. Btw. reverse osmosis is water maker. As for osmosis water from solution with less salts will move into one with higher concentration until they equalize, reverse osmosis in (forced) process against this natural direction. Aka you extract water from saline solution = seawater (just for those who do not know what osmosis is, or what reverse means).

[@nicolasweber2805]

Well Nick, it is a trawler yacht, so it is a succes, right there!! And as the recipe for trawler yachts was written decades ago, there is not much wiggle room, yet this is a very fine specimen, I really like the main deck, with its fully open space from helm to stern.... and a very nice big galley/Kitchen. not so much space for dining unless the "helm" settee is for that? My biggest concern about these yachts (even though it is my favorite category) is that they all use so much wood, that you tend to see it as a cigar box .... But the lay out of this is very successful, and the cabins are all very nice - especially the third cabin which could be a double, or a family cabin with the third cabin overhead - nice! Outer reef have really made a great boat here! A request.... Could you get your hands on a Nordhavn 71? Or a Nordhavn 80 (know you got it already, but!!) hull number 2 and 4 - I think - is with VriPack Interior, and that really makes a huge difference from the cigar box feel!!! Thank you for your effort - it is highly appreciated!!
