£310,000 Yacht Tour : 2007 Fairline Phantom 48

[@r.a.monigold9789]

I'll wager that even 14 years ago, Fairline's Phantom line of boats were a scary sight for the other yacht builders. Cost effective, cleverly designed, easy layouts and quality finish work EVERYWHERE. Hard to believe this is an "old boat" - but only in years. Looking ready to smooth out all the journeys that await, this Phantom has a bright future, I predict. Thanks again, Nick. And thanks to your mates for letting us all have a look.

[@wriggler6983]

What I love about your videos is the continuity. The minimal editing allows one to remain orientated at all times while on board.

[@macdchef]

So true

[@koomaj]

And absence of music is also the key. We really got to feel the boats with Nick.

[@bradvitz2531]

ABSOLUTELY!! All the fancy editing in most yacht videos is so disorienting.

[@arekpetrosian4965]

I have to say, I'm impressed. For something that is supposed to be 14 years old, it looks really, REALLY good, and holds up against newer boats quite well Nearly perfect layout, too. Thanks a bunch, Nick!

[@peterdodge6563]

Pretty good. Lots of room-affordable price and not overly dated for a 2007 boat. Nice job Nick.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. Its a flybridge, 3 cabins, galley down, plenty of space aboard. A lot of boat for the money. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrish2996]

@@AQUAHOLIC The 2015 Squadron 42 for 400k last week is a bargain. Thanks Nick 😊

[@RoyAmsterdam]

Working on my own boat , lunch time and watching Nick’s videos to gain new ideas to implement onto my own boat👍

[@YachtAddiction]

I love these older Fairline yachts. Great boat and great value!

[@trja900]

Nicks finger followed the curve of the flybridge Bimini top perfectly at 12:03.

[@g9rud]

I was expecting this boat to be a bit dated but No it is actually quite lovely, in amazing condition for her age as well, a credit to the quality of Fairline. Nice tour as always

[@moco_coco_999]

It really does appear that this was a turning point for styling of yacht interiors. At 14 years old this boat still looks credibly modern (barring the odd few things) whereas ones even a year or two older can seem super dated.

[@9VARZ]

She's been really well-loved and what a beautiful machine! Thanks for that, Nick!

[@TradeWindgng]

Thumbs up for a 14 years old boat, love it very spacious for a sub 50 footer. great presentation well done cheers

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

Quite a nice design, and a lot of space for her age. Lovely. Of course an Aquaholic Tour always brings out the best.

[@Dwealdric]

Wow I can’t believe this boat is a 2007! Great value!

[@debbiejudd4933]

Great way to wake up a coffee and a vlog of a great yacht to watch in bed. Thank you Nick.

[@tinkmarshino]

Still selling boats after all these years.. You were always a good one Nick! love these boats and love this channel!

[@simonburrow1198]

I do like boats from this period. The galley for me is better positioned than the in fashion aft galley. It makes the boat more sociable. Good value for 300k and still looks fresh

[@delbertstringbreaker7686]

Not often you see a boat with a brig - complete with a 'pot' under the bed! Quite old school but still a contender and at a very good price. Excellent review as always!

[@BrownSugarBank]

Great video Nick! I need videos every 15min please across both channels. 😂😂😂

[@TexanUSMC8089]

I really like the Fairline Phantom and Squadron boats. For a boat that's 10-20 years old, they're outstanding. Not dated at all.

[@dwrowley]

beautiful boat for the age and a great lay out

[@marygillies.1755]

Yes it was the one we really liked when we actually spotted it a very stunning boat

[@charliebailey9467]

Nice machine , Nick 16 degrees and fresh in Sydney

[@chadruppert]

At 5:45 My wife could have sworn you said "loads of places to tuck yourself away" and nearly spat her coffee across the room. She was in stitches 😂 What a place to curl up with a good book!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Stuff! STUFF!! 😄

[@chadruppert]

@@AQUAHOLIC haha. You know those laughing fits where no sound comes out, it's just shaking? That was the outcome here this morning. Those are the moments I'm truly thankful for in life. Ah, lol

[@rre9121]

That's a really nice layout.

[@BouncingSoul1987]

In America it's bad luck to have a hat on a bed like they did in the master! Great video cheers Nick!

[@Ognir1962]

Another well maintained boat, very nice. As always Nick thanks for sharing, nice to watch with morning coffee.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@dwdw90]

Nice to see Jack the sack relaxing on the sofa soaking up the rays as usual

[@glord49]

I am pleasantly surprised. I thought it was going to start to feel dated inside. But no. Probably because it does not have gloss finish inside. Great video as always Nick.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

I really like Gloss Cherry wood in some of the older boats. I want dark wood instead of the gray or oak.

[@cjjames83]

somehow fairline never really disappoint me. this is a real nice boat for 310K. need a little TLC but for a 14 year old boat its awesome

[@marcodicaprio1]

For an ‘07 I absolutely love the styling on this boat.

[@d-v-f]

Fantastic. Love the crew cabin ensuite!😀

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Its always interesting to see how the designs have come on so much in just a few years.

[@walterfredrickson3887]

I say you should buy that boat , That would be a great upgrade for the family !

[@danielamazing3264]

If I had the money I would definitely snatch this up it’s a superb price for 48 foot boat and looks spectacular on the inside!

[@thanksfernuthin]

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' 'bout! The time traveler discount. Perfect for us dreamers. "Oh... I like that one. I wonder how much it will cost in 10-15 years?" If you can find out what it cost new then that would be good info as well. For the older boats anyway.

[@gsmith207]

Wow what a boat for that money! Bet this was 1mil in ‘07. Somebody is gonna own a wicked nice vessel for 1/3 of the price. And one would think this is only a couple years old. Thanks Nick! Love this one too!

[@PowerYacht]

It started around 650k euros, plus options and VAT.

[@gervers]

This boat is a real bargain! All the space, ergonomics and performance you could possibly want at a great price! So surprised but pleasantly so on a 14 year old vessel!

[@oscar.esteves]

Think about the maintenance cost.. is old.

[@Kim_Jensen]

Thank you again for a great tour of nice boat. So many great seating places on that boat, you could easily have a party for 12 people, awesome :)

[@diilaini]

I'm just amazed how much stuff and space you can fit in a 50 feet boat! :O

[@jamesryan1026]

Love this! So much value for money. You should do a video on a v58 deck saloon!

[@irishterminator.]

Hey Nick great video and for a 2007 boat it's in good condition and many of the features are still used in today's yachts, Have a great day bud

[@bigbill74scots]

A true live aboard boat. A beauty.

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Wow just wonderful boat Nick Sir... It's really 2007 boat.. it's looks stunning pieces of art.. Well crafted wood work... and as always looking dashing Nick Sir..

[@mmsmits2868]

While showing its age a little in decor and wear & tear, overall it's in really good shape and pretty much turn-key. I actually like the floorplan on the lower deck! It does go to show you how much things have changed over just the past 14 years...

[@maxnex7676]

Little concerned that Nick left his blue handbag on show in the VIP cabin, hey, it is all good by me 😀 everyone to their own so to speak! - Nice tour, the boat needs a deeeeeep clean though. Thank you.

[@martinbirdiebrain1912]

Such a lovely looking vessel, One day Rodney, one day, Great tour as usual Nick, If Carlsberg did tours hey!

[@kevinfleming9919]

Nice Vlog👍and nice boat! That ridge detail on the side gives it a great profile and makes it look taller. When you nearly called the galley the head I thought, "Well, there is a sink with a drain in there, sooooo...." lol! 🤣 Just needs a watertight gasket replaced on the door to the storage/crew bed area, it was coming off in the lower left corner!

[@kikosouza8363]

you make every boat look amazing!

[@Matt-ls1ng]

It is very lovely and very impressive for the boat size

[@easybigun7825]

Aaaahhhggg, you didn't push the the button in on the crockery drawer. Great tour as always. Thank you.

[@canadadan4437]

Wow really nice craft for her size and age Nick obviously well looked after thanks for the tour mate 👍🇨🇦

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@itsallgonemad]

Despite others comments I thought she was starting to look a little dated, but nothing that a few touches & a bit of cash couldn’t fix. That said, I love the Fairline layout especially the galley position, it’s a lot of boat for the money, great tour Nick 👋🏻

[@ralphrobertsonbdr779]

I really like your channel, great description of the yachts and beautiful spaces.

[@johnspecht72]

Pure class! The boat is impressive as well.

[@nicbennett6554]

Tuesday lunchtime bonus! Thanks 😁 Can’t believe you didn’t make any comments about the handbag in the VIP cabin 🤷‍♂️ Mistress for Jack the Sack?! Great tour as always, thanks Nick 👍

[@mrchairman08]

Flying Colors = owner on board, Handbag on the VIP bed = Mistress in attendance

[@doughboi007]

another fantastic walkthrough. Don't overdo yourself, Nick! You sounded a little tired in this one.

[@connorb8464]

Really cool boat! Hardly seems outdated at all, in fact I’d say more like time tested. Great video Nick! Thank for the tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@Alex-cw3rz]

I know you are all about positive energy and you have to keep good rapport with the people selling the boats as well. But I would love just one video where you find the boat you dislike the most and you just rip into all the design features you hate about it. I just think it'd be quite a hilarious video as a one off.

[@Breadfan00]

That would be cool!

[@imamiddleagedman]

Too late for April 1st unfortunately

[@henrybaxter3859]

That sounds like a really good vid idea

[@cookiemonster2299]

😭🤣😂😆 look at the shit wood they've used in here and who the hell thought of putting the galley there and what's this crap over here supposed to be! 😭🤣😂 It would be funny as a one off 👍

[@aardvarkmindshank]

Ha ha ha what a great idea. It would be so funny.

[@Nokenify]

Quite a lot of boat for the money! Nice one.

[@deadhell304]

Full tour, full tour, full tour, lets gooo!!!

[@MrRicardo11]

Great review 👍 Nick and what a lot of boat ⛵ for the money 💰. A great size for a sub 50ft boat and well equipped. Thanks for posting this

[@zucods]

This one is showing some age. It does look good, don't get me wrong! Just a little dated. Amazing how you get 3 cabins, 2 bathrooms, and a galley down there. Great use of space. The crew cabin is totally poitless at this size. Overall a very nice boat! Cheers!

[@cougarfan1341]

Almost perfect sub-50. Only thing I'd do is make the table in the saloon something that would drop to coffee table level to make it more of a "living room" social space than a dining room with a setee.

[@garylake1676]

That table is electric, the switch under the helm navigator seat lowers the table so it can be high for drinks like a bar, medium for dining, and low for a coffee table. It's a great boat, had mine for six years now, bought it from the same marina as this one is in, Salterns. My main gripe is there is no storage under the seats in the lounge, it's wasted space, save for that, she ticks all of the boxes, and due to the groundbreaking style and design, she is worth the same money as when I bought her in 2015.

[@temaskell08]

Looks tight to get the boat out of that spot!

[@justindavis1665]

Does anyone else love it when Nick says “crockery”? 😆

[@dalefountain9269]

Very nice boat Nick, just what I would like to own! Thank for the video's Nick, keep them comming!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks, will do!

[@alanpaton694]

A very very nice boat for the age and money. I so much prefer the galley down layout to the galley aft layout especially for the British climate where you wouldn’t mind being more onboard doing the cooking. The interior materials of this boat are still very up to date as is the exterior styling. Good simple engine, gearbox, shaft design. Definitely one I would consider...

[@RobEJC]

We should all age as well and continue to be as presentable and functional as a Fairline!

[@simongood9460]

Maggie the baggie, Jacques le Sac and now Hattie the handbag?? Thanks for the tour - very well thought out layout. Was expecting less in the cabin department with the galley being down below, but that was a pretty impressive guest and Master - loads of headroom over the bed.

[@aquatadevore9335]

It's a beautiful boat but I'm sorry, when you lifted the bed and showed the toilet underneath, I died laughing 🤣🤣

[@Patrick-ge2zn]

LOL , I thought yes a place to dump a teenager who throws a strop .

Hello Nick, Maggie , Jack and Maryanne.

[@bilko1971]

Nice boat. Not a lot to fault there. Looks well looked after. I love the separate showers and galley. Pretty aggressive looking. Good low flybridge which doesn't spoil the looks I would like a central bed in the master and no hum of electrical panels while you are trying to sleep but thats about it.

[@crazyjay7676]

What an amazing boat for not massive money.

[@01mubs]

I will not presume to call you my friend but I wish you were some of these yatra videos or just sad you are the best projector on here

[@01mubs]

Wow I was drunk when I wrote that

[@kenthildebrandt8221]

Fabulous boat and personally I like the galley down layout better than the galley aft in this size of boat as it leaves the upper area more open for social gatherings.

[@redeyeofthenightfall]

it's entirely interesting and relaxing to watch these tours i've watched some of the superyacht videos many times love what you do, Nick. keep it up! cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, thank you!

[@philskype101]

Rather lovely piece of kit!!! Well spoken good sir!!

[@james6398]

Did you have a moment there at 15:02 where you though you might get shut in the engine room? 😂

[@nickwebb9290]

A really nice boat, that’s a good find Nick On a personal preference level my only drawback is the lower deck galley but it’s still a winner for its age 👍

[@HarveyPaul007]

That crew cabin and hidden toilet made me laugh 😅

[@pellekuipers4076]

I really like this one! The interior looks great, ample space and seating and that crew cabbin makes for exelent storage. Outside looks a litle dated but I would love to spend my summers on this. Thanks Nick

Amazing, especially considering it is an 07. Very clever design. Wish I could buy.

[@MF-fg3cg]

You would not keep crew in here on a regular basis. Fantastic

[@jasonissel217]

::drolls:: I agree I like the gally at the bow is better than the stern, because people can come right in wet from swimming and I don't want wet bodies right next to my food, too many comprises have been made in modern-day boats for cabin space. Of all the boats I have seen recently on your channel that one was the one I liked the best, it had all the features I liked the best, and the right size. I could live on that.

[@cosmosutcliffe9160]

I can’t wait for your sailing trip on that Oyster yacht

[@andrewb6104]

Nick, would you do a tour on a Severn class or one of the larger lifeboats? I’d find it fascinating.

[@bjornhosek9210]

nice boat with a good layout .... the galley right where it should be ;)

[@AlexPittendreigh]

Seems to have aged very well. Still looks good and has a good layout. Depending on the what the survey comes up with, it could be a very good buy for someone
