I absolutely LOVE that interior 😍😍😍😍

[@g9rud]

You are spoiling us with another sailing yacht, love the clever layout of this one, very nice indeed. Great tour as always .

[@adrianhardy8372]

Sir; Please include capacities of fuel and water in your videos. Very pertinent information! I still say you are the best presented on KZbin.

[@bobuncle8704]

Always some different surprise. That fold out sun pad is a great little party trick.

[@anthelcanilao4979]

i have no idea about yachting or anything, but watching channels like yours is kinda relaxing since im imagining myself on a yacth.. might be silly but dreaming is for free, so im taking it.. thank you for your videos. keep it up.

[@oneslackr]

That's what many of us do. Over the past few years I have watched every single yacht/boat tour Nick has made. Not to mention all of the walking tours on this channel he made in 2020 during the height of Covid when he couldn't make boat videos. Plus all of his RV tours & car videos on his other channel MOTAHOLIC. His presentation style is very calm & relaxing. Some have said Nick is the David Attenborough of yachts.

[@gsmith207]

Nuff said…

[@CryMeARiver63]

I never really got into sail boats but this one could change my mind ....😊 . I like how the shower and loo are separate from each other and the microwave, wow , have never seen one set up like that one .

[@drandersjiang]

At 300k, this is better than a lot of London apartments.

[@Pianoguy32]

Makes it sound affordable lol !

[@gsmith207]

Wonder how much for a slip or a mooring in London on River Thames? Prob big money? Great idea tho! Maybe use it as an air b&b!

[@seanyoung3029]

Indeed

[@clegsmegson2627]

I own one of these. Essentially just use it to host parties and get away from my hideous wife.

[@gervers]

I’m really enjoying and appreciating these sailing yachts! Proper global boating! Thank you as always and have a great weekend.

[@BuddhaAfterDark]

Love that the wet head has the shower and sink in one compartment and 5e toilet in the other. Brilliant. Lovely boat!

[@cougarfan1341]

Another liveaboard candidate. Love it!

I try watching other people tour boats and it's just not the same. Keep up the good work Nick!

[@gratefulot360]

Wonderful layout and beautiful interior. Great tour. Thanks, Nick!

[@MrDLYouTube]

Did you ever get to talk to David from Yachts for Sale? Hope so. He tried to call you in his latest video. :)

[@jonnytooze]

I absolutely love ever feature of this boat. It's brilliant. Apart from keeping cutlery in the same cupboard as the bin!

[@AlexZafer]

One of the best and more thoughtful design in layouts I've seen. Love this one.

[@SaorAlba1970]

Wow i'm really blown away with this yacht ... it's like a proper house/flat on the water ... if i had the money (Euro millions win tonight prayer mat looked out lol) i would buy it ... i would make one or two alterations like fit a freezer in somewhere ... this would be a perfect live aboard ... now if you could only get a powered yacht with a similar layout .... Cheers for sharing this amazing yacht Nick ... you really blew me away ❤

[@andym847]

What a very nice boat, excellent use of space, none of the areas are compromised to the point they fail in their given tasks. All in all a cracking bit of kit, very desirable indeed. Excellent tour, thank you and take care of yourself. 👍👍👍🚢🛥☠⛴🛳🏴‍☠️🚤⛵⚓😎

[@janicesullivan8942]

Love the owner’s cabin. The entire boat is filled with light, it doesn’t feel claustrophobic.

[@ishiyamaaa]

Love the sailing yachts!!

[@marks9772]

Sorry Nick, I will respectfully disagree, No, not that easy to get to (life raft) specifically if you turtle, which of course would be unexpected, in rough water. A little late and hard to get. However, with the exception of my nitpicking safety equipment (Hydrostatic Release would go along way); another exceptional tour of a wonderful Boat, I absolutely love this exceptional layout. BZ Nick!! Quality tour!

[@sherms78]

Probably the best sail boat you've shown us round so far. Still not sold on sailing looks too difficult and you'd need lots of experience

[@cyruslad5462]

Agreed, total faff if you don't enjoy it. I imagine it's liberating if you do and you're good at it.

[@remshi.]

It can be surprisingly accessible. The most time consuming thing to learn are the knots; actually sailing the boat comes fairly naturally since the only sails that need managing are the jib and main sheet, which is 3 ropes max. I've taken sailing classes as a complete newbie and by the end I could solo sail and set up a small Sunfish (~18 ft training boats).

[@cyruslad5462]

@@remshi. it's the prospect of things going wrong that bothers me the most.

[@39PSIOnTheDaily]

You don’t even need to sail most modern sailboats. They usually come with engines that are powerful enough to leisurely take them from place to place with the addition of an electronically controlled main sail.

[@N330AA]

The main problem is they are expensive and maintenance intensive.

[@darrenp2225]

I really do enjoy the tour of these sailing yachts with their ingenious designs. Always seem to have a sensible user friendly layout. Thanks once again Nick.

[@canadadan4437]

A really nice sailing yacht again they build beautiful boats and a terrific tour as always thanks Nick 😎🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@seanogden927]

These sailing yacht videos keep getting better and better, yet another beautiful interior really clean and crisp finishes and well thought out design and as always appear to be voluminous. Cheers Nick.

[@markegg7680]

Why don't these sailboats come with biminis? I watch sailing channels and many struggle to add/fit one "after market" custom. It seems like most everyone would want this option over their primary outdoor seating area, just as we see with the crusiers. They ought offer a hard top (for solar) and perhaps also a soft top. Comments?

[@arifabdullah7142]

This yacht is perfect. Great layout design and very spacious for below 50 footer sailboat

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

Excellent video Nick, what i don't understand regarding sailing boats is why they have wired railings and not proper railings like the motor boats?

[@elitedavidhorne8494]

Weight I think. Wire is lighter than stainless steel tubing.

[@Psijicflame]

Most sailboat manufacturers offer solid railings but many buyers opt out of it due to the drastically higher price compared to wire railings. If you have the cash to spend they can be a great option.

[@jedihaloman2147]

I kinda want to see you doing a day sailing charter. If you are ever back here In the States you could try it in the Great Lakes.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. A good layout, 3 cabins, light interior. A sailiors dream yacht. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊

[@richardsimpson2599]

Nice to see a modern production boat with a proper chart table !!

[@amarsh14]

Very nice again Nick. Again, someone needs to teach me to sail and I need a wee bit more coin! Maybe a lottery win?

[@danielamazing3264]

I am loving seeing more sailing yachts, and one today that is a lower price (I think). To be fair most sailing yachts are extremely reasonable (for a boat!). Brilliant as always Nick!

[@JackTheRivalPS3]

This is a amazing boat! Problably my favorite boat ive seen

[@gsmith207]

Never really gave sailboats a thought until COVID hit. Now I am 1 out of a gazillion to want to get away to the sea with one. Then it’s going to be crowded out there too! Like water world. I’m in! Thanks Nick! Excellent channel! Going on 2 years for my subscription and I haven’t gotten an invoice yet! Love it!

[@anthonybressler4404]

Great video. Man you get to board some incredible boats.

[@Mark-pm9nh]

Beautiful sailing yacht, design, finishes & layout . Nick, your vlogs are always great quality & content . A pleasure to watch & look forward to . With you . Mark (Toronto) 💙🌈

[@RobinKlein-xz4iv]

Hey Mr Aquaholic, thank you so much for your videos. have watched nearly al of them as I sail myself, on the lake constance though. Really want to get into the open sea sailing, but as most people, I cannot do it financially yet. Rather stupid idea: can you do a 2 Videos: One for a very cheap mediteranien/atlantik sail boat (under 100k) and one, where the price is the exact number of your subscribers? would love to see that, might even be a little funny in a way. Hope your channel grows and wish you all the best. Keep doing what you do!

[@nkemp18]

Loving all the sail boats recently

[@davidmill7289]

What a beautiful boat!

[@bugsyunclee3968]

Till now, I liked this sail boat the most

[@NhoyBarangay]

Bering 77 on your next video please. I just love those trawler yachts. Also could you include how much grey/black water it could hold?

[@ornulfkittelsen]

Another great video. BTW, did i miss it, where is the laundry machines? That would be key when you are out for a long time.

[@petersenese9773]

Great tour, thanks! Personally prefer a single, covered helm position. Zip cover off in nice weather but able to sail in the rough.

[@PDC4Life]

Friday lunchtime just got much better! My cheese and tomato sandwich in between lots of boring zoom meetings just got a great accompanyment 👌

[@oliverfrey7511]

Having the drinks cabinet right next to the „home-office“ is nothing short of genius.

[@jeremyevans9521]

I wonder how many people that work from home start drinking before their shift is officially over?

[@tinkmarshino]

"home office" I always called it "frustration corner" But your right a stroke of genius!

[@whackamolem8024]

Hi Nick, I was thinking about your house today and that floor downstairs, have you thought of epoxy flooring? There are some amazing epoxy designs that could be done..Love this 490, very nice for the family adventure! See you tomorrow!

[@zdenkomiocic111]

Beautiful ❤

[@OldManGibb]

The only thing I see that I don't like about this boat is there is no instrumentation at the helms, No radar, nothing that I could see, IMO this make this boat rather unsafe if you had to navigate into a crowded harbor or dodge fishing pots at night. But that's just the opinion of a landlubber, Thank a million for another great video.

[@JackBahh]

Whilst you're right, there are plenty of bare grp areas that you could Plum navigation equipment in, like near the port helm and under the compass on the table. I'm guessing this one just isn't sold with the nav equipment.

[@ondro727]

I spotted some instrumentation on sides of the cockpit table, so you can see them when standing by the wheel(s), while table has to be folded (no problem since it would be folded most of the time while under sails).

[@OldManGibb]

@@nickmail7604 I missed that comment, Thank you for the reminder.

[@nickwebb9290]

That’s magnificent and as always a smooth tour 👍 Got to hand it to the French, they do design some superb yachts

[@davidcousins5493]

Thanks, Nick, for another great video with great content, one of the best boat interiors I think I've seen. However, I just can't do with all the faff of dealing with sail, give me two keys, two starter buttons and two throttles, easy peasy...

[@adrianbeek4143]

Hi nick Great quality video as usual Just wondering if u ever be able to bring us some explorer super yacht videos! Also can u ever get onboard a Hessen super yacht?

[@Ob1sdarkside]

Cavernous interior, something about sailboat interiors that seem more warm compared to motor yachts.

[@Rayraywheelz]

Very nice. Do you any catamaran /dual haul on the channel? There are so many boating channels that I'm sure I would be able to find one elsewhere however I really like the way you present the yachts so I'm partial yo #Aquaholic

[@calumshaw7905]

Good vlog Nick, as always. I look forward to your doubling up with Tristan at Cannes Boat Show!!!! Interesting and beautiful boat, loved the port shrouds in the galley. You didn't mention any standard electronics; is she not fitted with any or did you just miss them....

[@rchin75]

Nice boat, great video. Only that cutlery drawer sharing space with the bin feels … not right.

[@Clubman99]

Lovely boat, but I wouldn’t want my cutlery in the same cupboard as the bin…luckily it’s not a problem I’m likely to have!

[@stippolyte]

Rear sun pads on a ⛵ , they will be putting folding balconies on them next.

[@steve345]

storage area in back doubles as mother in law suite….thats just what i heard.

[@dougdavis8986]

I wish I could sail. You just get so much more for your money. A 49 foot power boat would be a hell of a lot more than 300k.

[@JackBahh]

Really odd seeing the stainless shrouds coming into the saloon from the deck above!

[@operator0]

It's quite normal. On this boat it looks a little more odd than normal because of the galley location, but you'll see similar arrangements on many sail boats.

[@JackBahh]

@@operator0 never seen it before and I've seen many sail boats. Most definitely seen the mast coming down through but never the shroud. Cool though.

[@operator0]

@@JackBahh It's not really part of the shroud. Think of it as part of the chain plate. Although I'll admit, I've never noticed steel cable in this arrangement before, I've only ever seen stainless rod.

[@julienbouillot6960]

Great layout, very contemporary and roomy. I am not convinced about the clean cutlery being in the same compartment as the bin but other than that, great boat overall.

[@nicbennett6554]

Thoroughly enjoyable tour as always! Not sold on the boat as a whole, but not really an issue as I’m not looking to buy a sailing boat!! Thanks Nick 🍻

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

I really don't like the stays through the gallery and dinette, makes the boat look unfinished or worse poorly designed. Other than that the boat looks good with good feature in and around the cockpit.

[@Mc674bo]

Hi nick lovely yacht and we’ll laid out , in your experience do many people transition from cruisers to yachts or does it tend to be one or the other . Obviously the skill set is different , and would you given the opportunity fancy giving sailing a go . Best wishes and kind regards . 😀👍👍👍

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Nice 👍👍👍👍👍

[@douglasthompson296]

I'm not into sail yachting but below decks lay out is most agreeable to me. I don't understand masts etc but found the main saloon free of the mast intruding into it. Also the owners cabin was squared off because of the bulkhead lockers 👍 no pointy bed there👌so all in all 👍

[@remshi.]

The squared off cabin also comes naturally with a boat that's over 45 ft

[@douglasthompson296]

@@remshi. thanks, I didn't know that, I live and learn

Jeanneau are making some extremely impressive yachts with excellent practicality. Do like this yacht

Forgive me is someone else has already asked,or if you have already explained it. That storage area at the front of the boat,why are there hand latches on the inside of it? Enjoy all of your videos. Thank you.

[@stephen-boddy]

General question about sailboats: Is there a separate generator, or does the main engine kick in periodically to recharge the batteries? I wonder what the noise is like in the cabins if that 80 hp diesel rattles to life with your head a foot away from it.

[@Daveydoodoo]

Lots of options for charging the batteries. Some boats will have room for a separate generator. You can also charge from engine, solar or wind power. There are also towed power generators - like a prop working in reverse to generate power in the water as you sail.

[@stephenb7333]

you got a yacht like that or any.i will have a bluetti generator.its solar electric.no smoke, fumes,noise and such.it is a mini power grid that you can charge your tesla with.lol.check out hobotech.;)

[@stephen-boddy]

@@Daveydoodoo Thanks for the info.

[@xmen9916]

Another great video Nick!! Thanks.

[@tinkmarshino]

makes we wish I had learned how to sail when I had the chance...

[@kieranharriman7055]

Agree totally with Chris L. This is one of the best sailboats you’ve toured. Really well appointed and just all round a great looking craft. Rather taken with it.

[@kmagius]

I was missing a look at the navigation and engine controls from the helm position. Didn't really seem to have any console near the helm? Also.. this seems to be one of the things I am missing on most of the @aquaholic sailboat reviews actually, a look at the navigation and controls.. do love watching the channel regardless though :)

[@BadYossa]

Mmm...Harken winches 👍 Guessing no instruments on either helm as she's not commissioned? Sailed/crewed on her predecessors and they are a doddle to sail, especially short-handed. Voluminous interior with stacks of natural light throughout, especially in the aft cabins, which accentuates the cedar. A lot of bang for the buck. Really great to see more sailing yachts on the channel Nick. Tis appreciated!

[@MrCrystalcranium]

You've shown a nice number of sailing yachts recently and I'm wondering if there's more to the mechanical spaces than just the under the stairs engine. Is this a boat you could stay out on the water for several days with the air conditioning, running hot water showers and cold refrigerators or is that kind of on the boat living restricted to the dock and shore power? I don't think I've seen an AC set, a generator or a hot water tank on any of these...just the diesel under the steps.

[@stephenb7333]

just get a buetti solar generator.amazing.lol.an portable.;)

[@billhanna8838]

nice

[@markegg7680]

Looks like the life raft can fall out (start of video), if you sail with the platform down

[@alexisbeck6727]

overall a very nice yacht. The only thing I don't like is the sink in the shower for guest cabins. Why not removing direct access from cabin 2 and you create a wet area? cheers

[@mmsmits2868]

I really like the styling the Jeanneau boats have in the interior now. Mostly straight lines (which is most efficient) but with rounded edges and accents that aren't really necessary but just add so much flair. This is a very nice boat with a stunning owner's cabin. Thanks for the tour!

[@eco-beehive]

Exelent as always

[@KevinMoranTV]

Thanks again for the great content.

[@PaulGoldstein]

I’m not as partial to the galley right along side the main lounge/table area. I prefer galley back and then really large full width lounge/work/eat area. Also no extras for this price? (I didn’t notice electronics. )

[@graemewoodruff9988]

dream boat apart from the cutlery by the bin thing

[@herenow6953]

I really liked this one - love the clean modern interior but didn't like the cutlery draw just over the bin - yuk! that's pretty minging, but otherwise, great boat!

[@clifbradley]

I always find it fascinating that people are willing to take 46' sailboats around the world, but yet won't take anything smaller than a 75' yacht around the world. And most yacht captains, supposedly, will only do that with that 'small' of a boat, during calm times. Meanwhile, sailboat owners are like 'Dude...nothing to it but to do it, let's go'

[@travismitchell737]

Lovely boat, but I’m still not sold on a bow master. It’s the roughest part of the boat, at sea and at anchor. Thanks for the tour!
