That «secret» cabin was the cherry on top, this is a Fantastic little boat

[@sandwormgod4771]

Love that second cabin.

[@coldcoffee89]

my jaw dropped... like SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!

[@nic7nic]

It's fintastic

[@rblossey]

it seems like every finnish boat he's ever reviewed has one of these!

[@sargoboatsuk]

@@coldcoffee89 We're ready and waiting.....😁

[@David_Polak]

After showing the forward cabin I was thinking, that would be funny if there was actually a second hidden cabin somewhere... Didn't expect that be true ! So cool. Thanks for the tour Nick, consistent quality as always.

[@HistoricAntrim]

I knew it was coming

[@romac9516]

Blown away by what a 31 footer can provide. One of my all times faves

[@rockets4kids]

Anyone know if this is 31 feet to the transom or the end of the swim platform? If they include the swim platform in the 31 foot measurement this is more like a 27 footer and that makes things even more impressive!

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

Love these style of boats with the wide side walk throughs and big center enclosed space. Such a usable boat.

[@davidbinkowski4825]

Yes, it doesn't quite cross the boat/ship barrier like a bigger Nordhaven, but it definitely gives a nod to many of the things that can make a boat "ship-like". I like this thing for the price.

[@lusoyachting36]

I love this. My husband has a Land Rover Defender which he loves and this boat seems to be built with the same ethos. Eminently simple, practical and capable.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Yes indeed, very similar, albeit this has a performance edge that's perhaps lacking from the Defender.

[@lusoyachting36]

@@AQUAHOLIC Lol. Good point Nick but what the Defender lacks in speed it makes up for in torque. It may not go fast but it could pull your house down if required.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@lusoyachting36 Hopefully that won't ever be required..! 😳

[@seanogden927]

I know we all dream of owning a tri deck super yacht but i,m starting to love all of this style of small boat that look easy to handle and are like a Tardis inside, the designers are brilliant. Thanks for another great tour Nick many thanks.

[@maritimefilminguk]

Another great boat and wonderfully in depth boat walkthrough! A walk around of a walk around boat 😀 40 knots is very impressive!

[@simon8089]

The Fins deliver yet again. Functional and simplistic. More of these please👌🏼

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Such an innocent looking boat at fist glance. But after a proper tour it's obvious this vessel is packed full of fun surprises. I mean TWO staterooms? A full head with shower? A fully anointed galley? A boat load of comfy seating? Oh, and was that an adjustable helm? The answer to all this rhetoric is YES - this little boat has all the comfort of proper yacht. The boat so nice, I had to watch the tour twice. Great surprises, Nick, thanks for sharing...

[@darthkek1953]

It's always better to have a shower stall if you can, otherwise you're always wiping down the entire head after showering, but on a 31 foot boat you can forgive it not having one. Also a lot of focus on these is the day-in day-out commuting and just occasional weekend use, so the shower won't be used on most of the voyages. For yachts it kind of doesn't make sense to get them out and about unless it is for a day or two so they showers get used pretty much every time.

[@nicbennett6554]

Fantastic tour of a terrific boat 😎 As ever, huge thanks to you for taking us on board 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@andrewbeale2585]

Great video Nick, This boat has several key advantages over my Botnia Targa 30, especially the opening roof and the much better galley. Also the doors in the bulwarks by the pilot house doors are great, no clambering over the sides. I like the single engine too, no need these days for twins which are expensive to buy and to maintain. On the negative side, access to the aft cabin is better in the Botnia Targas, and a spare pilot berth in the aft cabin is sometimes useful. However the deal breaker for me is no flybridge, which is transformative on a boat of this kind. Nothing beats the 360 degree view you get on the Botnia Targa flybridge and that wind in your hair feeling of freedom.

[@BoyceBailey]

5:07 WHAT!!!! i'd love an interview with a boat designer showing all their space saving ways, tips and tricks. I think a lot of people in tiny flats could use the advice too :)

[@chasbodaniels1744]

These vids have seriously changed my awareness of living space.

[@stachowicz_luigi]

Nice one! You didn't forget the second cabin 😉😉😉😁😁😁🥃🥃

[@crazyfroggie6546]

That is astonishing i love the hidden cabin under the salon. Such good design, everything designed for usability, even the little details. Thanks for the tour Nick.

[@gratefulot360]

Love this boat. It would be a great Southeast Alaska boat, both for fishing and whale watching. Thanks, Nick!!!

[@Yourmoneywontsaveyou]

Now this is honestly absolutely a perfect boat for most everyday people. Imagine the fun you could have with that!

[@BjrnOttoVasbottenbjovas]

Im just gonna go find my 310 thousand everyday quid, to seconds mate ;D

[@jamesellsworth9673]

If 'Everyday People' had roughly $500K extra somewhere outside of their retirement accounts.

[@Yourmoneywontsaveyou]

@@jamesellsworth9673 Yeah, you're both right, but I can at least imagine buying one of these rather than a $19m Princess 80' superyacht. Maybe when i'm 60, we've downsized the house, and the wife has been convinced by me and would let me.

[@g9rud]

Now that is impressive, i do like this style of boat and have seen a few of your videos of this type but this has to be the most practical of this walk-around style to date, lovely. Great tour as always

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@raydowley1038]

nice and practical all-weather boat right down to the sliding roof and the wooden door limiter pure and simple what more could you want

[@james6398]

Very nice, for 30ft it's got a lot of clever functions and very cleverly disguised usability! Love the mechanical aspects rather than loads of gimicky electronics for the roof etc. Seems very solid and well put together as well. I think this would be on my shortlist for south coast and the Solent.

[@oneslackr]

Nick, it's nice of you to keep showing Finnish boats. Finland often gets overlooked & not just when it comes to their boats.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

They make some awesome boats (and are lovely people in my experience)

[@oneslackr]

@@AQUAHOLIC : Finland builds some great boats & ships too. Yes, most Finns are nice though somewhat reserved.

[@GarnockReviews]

Years ago when I was in commercial boat sales, I used to love pilot boats for being true all weather work horses. This looks like someone took a similar concept and gave it a yacht finish. Perfect for cruising the West Coast of Scotland with the way the weather and tides change so fast! Thanks for sharing, and another great review. As always, regards to you and Marianne ;-)

[@themanwithnoname2666]

I've been watching your videos for about a year and I still like the go any where boats. Great video by the way

[@111100oscar]

this is for people who enjoy boating, not for those who enjoy showing off. Great video as always and love these contents about more usable boats!

[@jgriff3218]

Thank you. Very practical boat. Great for off shore fishing.

[@Billy_Warren]

I find your videos which focus on smaller boats with their clever use of space really interesting 👍

[@sjones4668]

What a crafty craft! I actually love the hidden sleeping area. Seemed very safe will tall rails too!

[@9VARZ]

Loving the use of space on this little cutie! Very practical indeed. Thanks for the walkaround **chuckles**, Nick!

[@BhaaskarDesai]

That's a nifty little boat~! Perfect for a weekend getaway or a startup yacht. Everything is so thoughtfully and neatly laid out. Nothing seems cramped in spite of the size. The second cabin is astoundingly amazing. Thank you for another great tour & fantastic presentation as always Nick~! :)

[@marchport]

I love it. Thoroughly practical and very well designed. I’ll add that the weather was perfect for a boat tour!

[@sadenuttie2234]

Very clever boat. Great side decks also. Really impressed by it, fast, good build quality, good access, and most importantly privacy on a 30 foot boat. You normally see boats in this size category fall into the same sorts of layouts, but this one you can tell that they thought outside of the norm.

[@bobuncle8704]

I find the Finnish boats deal well with form and function, with a bias toward function. This suits my personal style quite well. The hidden rear berth is a nice feature. It would be really suite 😉 if they had a heads down there, but I guess you can’t have everything. Thanks for another excellent tour Nick

[@darthkek1953]

The 33 foot version is basically the same, but being a tad bigger has a 2nd head option in the mid-cabin. But that extra 2 feet of space adds fifty thousand to the price! But that's because it's not just a bit bigger with no other changes, they've added more "stuff" inside too.

[@arekpetrosian4965]

Really cozy little boat, and the hidden "extra" room is awesome. Thanks again, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@nickwebb9290]

It’s amazing what they’ve squeezed into a 31 footer without making the saloon and cabins too pokey. I do so like these trawler style boats and this one fits the bill superbly. Excellent tour as always Nick, many thanks

[@newto74]

What a well thought out out little boat

[@nigelmaisey272]

Another interesting little boat ... not my cuppa tea ... but some very nice little touches ... Anyway won’t be long 🤞🤞before you’re off filming some lovely Rivas or Pershings for us to drool over ..Keep up the great work Nick 👍❤️🚤🛥

[@colbr6733]

What a great bit of boat design. Looks super solid and unfussy but lots of good ideas make it a really practical boat.

[@volvot5boy]

What a lovely little boat 👍

[@EmilWestrum]

For some reason this boat seems twice the size it should be! Excellent use of space, and a lovely tour as always, Nick, well done!

[@Old-Mad-Tom]

Marvellous ingenuity in these boats! 👍🏻😉

[@justthink5854]

summers coming so no more flu

[@8Ryanaugust]

The surprise of that second cabin was the best. Genius design for a 31ft.

[@theneck5157]

It was such a fantastic design, that rear cabin really suprized me the bed was bigger then the twin birth , so it sleeps 4 but it could actually sleep 5-6 with the table converted into a bed .... and the speed and power made this a great weekend get away mini yacht... really kool boat

[@irishterminator.]

Now that's how to Finnish a boat tour boom a secret cabin, That's some James Bond thinking there hmmm clever guy's in Finland. Have a great day Nick

[@kevinbanham2429]

A surprisingly good little boat love the hidden cabin perfect place to hide away with a large Rum and a good book.

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Thank you Nick I like this show of you again, those all wheather boats please do more and more off them

[@Soulos-oq7ij]

I could easily live full time in something like this. Wake up early and go fishing everyday.

[@jockeelighty6636]

I've been following you for awhile and I really appreciate all of your in depth videos of the different and various vessels. This one or the 28 will be perfect for me to cruise the Great Loop or ICW for me. Thanks a alot! I'm a very practical person and me and my wife want something just for us to enjoy and handle without breaking the bank!!👍👍

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

This would be a good weekender/fishing boat. Quite nice. And as always, an excellent Aquaholic Tour!

[@strider6920]

Clever boat with lots of hidden surprises. Thanks as always Nick for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@linusNa]

I cant Believe i just found out about your instagram after watching every video of you😂

[@tonyjedioftheforest1364]

Very nice as are all the boats that you show us around.

[@littleskiboy7]

Quite clever this boat! Great job, as always nick!!

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. A go anywhere anytime boat. Practical and good layout too. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@33059081]

I like that boat no bells whistles just good all rounder

[@benhuot6852]

Most intelligent boat I have seen, can sleep 6 for a weekend... and I love the rear table over the engine!!!

[@popeyepanther4519]

This boat is definitely one of my favorites. Its a great all-rounder and fit for Scandinavian climate. It should stand quite well for second hand market as well. Now all we do is wait for COVID to succumb.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

Brilliant!!The second cabin was a TOTAL surprise!

[@EverydayProjects]

Amazing little boat, Nick! That second cabin was a complete surprise! Wow, somebody was thinking. The efficient use of space on this one reminds me of a time when I worked on Oberon Class submarines (during refit in Canada). Every bit of space was used to the max, and had to be. Fantastic channel!

[@AlexPittendreigh]

Was not expecting that 2nd cabin and up to around 40knots. Wow, what a surprise packet.

[@jameswaterhouse156]

Love this boat a real sleeper in the performance department, practical and the trawler feel and for its size it is a wonder. Now if only it had two engines, Cheers again Nick

[@jimbaker8624]

Very clever boat design. Thanks for the video.

[@podcastjon]

Love this and that hidden cabin is perfect !

[@frankcolumbo9615]

I appreciate all-weather practical design over flashy prom queens. Thx u Sir Nick🇺🇸👍

[@bobt3374]

Very nice boat i do like the 2nd bedroom well planned & the boat looks good. Good review.

[@homedad3324]

People from Finland really know how to build.

[@loadedshamrock]

Was not expecting that second bed!

[@jackirichard414]

Hello Nick. Have a safe blessed day! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@useitwice]

What a great practical boat! Loved the hidden cabin

[@silvestrevadacchino1262]

I don't know why, but watching your videos take away my stress a bit ,I wish you the best

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad to hear that

[@graemewoodruff9988]

Really nice, it could satisfy a lot of owners with varying needs.

[@johnspecht72]

I really like the manual nature of all the doors windows and engine cover. They are solid, reliable, and in the 9case of the door and roof stops) stylish. The electric motor adjustments are often slow, noisy, and extra maintenance. On a boat this size they are also overkill.

[@benhill173]

8th 😆 - love that sliding roof - so simple yet very useable and will never malfunction! Great boat all round! Cheers Nick! 😎

[@patriciab3739]

Amazing detail... as usual, I know you are doing this and have done so, however, really enjoy our more affordable motor yachts.... yes, we hope to buy one day.... Enjoy every episode and cant wait for the next ! :)

[@agerothn]

I absolutely love it when folks come up with fun little features like that bedroom under the seats. I have to say though, that one may be a bit of trouble if there's anyone trying to sleep where the table is and someone needs to use the head.

[@canadadan4437]

Another very unique craft Nick really cool and spacious for her size thanks as always for the tour mate 😎🇨🇦

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@LBSTrainingAssessingLtd]

Lovely Boat tour Nick...Defo on my wish list, keep these more affordable boats coming please...

[@djowen5192]

Cracking, usable boat for the length. Love it.

[@fontybits]

Forget all the luxury super-yachts you've shown us, this is the best boat I've seen which fulfils my dreams of cruising around Malta in the summer months. Now where did I put that lottery ticket?

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

It's compact and wonderful boat Nick Sir... Boat looks stunning... and looking dashing Sir

[@AndyLee-xm2lo]

love your videos, nick! you are my most watched channel and youtube :) would be great to see the refrigerators whenever your tour these boats since that would indicate true usability from my perspective. thanks again for all of your wonderful videos!

[@nickwatkins5321]

What a fantastic little boat. Great use of space

[@regritchin9888]

I love these sort of boats very clever layouts. Thanks for all the vids. Cheers :)

[@patrickbrookings]

Wow, very smart design! That secret cabin was so cool!

[@FLGurl]

This is a great kit for a small family. It does everything for a fun day on the water. The only item missing is the fridge, which looks like it is under the helm seat. Price is great also!

[@philip2010uk]

Enjoyed today's video and cheers for sharing has two rear cabin it was great really nice boat I like that type of boat just have to win the lottery now

[@markfindlay8636]

That's a great practical ⛵!

[@veen9667]

Really nice boat, love it!

[@BucsFTW]

A Few Thoughts: You see the video thumbnail, and then the opening shot shows what looks like a sports fisher at best... 31 feet yet nowhere to hang out? Such a tiny little wheelhouse / cabin. Surely there's not enough room for anything substantially functional in that tiny space and then... What the...?!?!? Okay... so it's got a great little Saloon, and it'll more than comfortably afford 2 couples a fun day out - such a shame it'll probably only sleep two, at best. The Fins never cease to amaze me with brilliantly simple solutions. The wooden hasp on the door will not only hold it in the "open a few inches" position, but it's also designed to serve as a lock when fully closed Nick...! And ZERO moving parts to fail. Then the opening in the roof - again, nothing electrical to go wrong as well as a simple design with minimal failure points. I've come to appreciate the negative windows... so much less glare and sunlight to contend with. I'm wondering if she's got A/C...? And who cares if "that effectively makes that an En Suite..." Nick...??? It's NOT like she can accommodate more than a couple for a weekend. I beg you pardon...? Second accommodation...?!? When boats this size try to squeeze a 2nd cabin in it's usually disastrous. Not Sargo. They NAILED it...! It's a shame she probably only putters around at 12-15 knots like the river cruiser she looks like, right? 35 knots...?!? Are you kidding me? WOW. and 40 with the larger Volvo Penta... Amazing. This surprised me at ever turn Nick... Great tour as always sir! Cheers mate!

[@Nokenify]

That's a really nice one. Good stuff for 31 feet.

[@kevinfleming9919]

Nice Vlog👍and nice boat! Well done little Day Tripper/Weekender and I like the adjustable sliding roof and steering wheel! Wish more boats had adjustable height/position wheels on them, especially the ones that put the wheel down so low you practically need to steer it with your feet, even if it's one that can be steered with GPS and thruster control type switches where you hardly need to use the wheel most of the time it should be adjustable to personal taste and comfort.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Love this type - Sargo, Botnia or Nord Star. Great and purposeful looking boats.

[@simplelifelost]

I’m starting to really like Scandinavian boats. Elegant, good quality and practical.

[@BouncingSoul1987]

What a cool second cabin!!

[@ericroang685]

Nice craft, now i need a large body of water. Thank you.

[@RogueBurn]

Now that is a practical and useful vessel.

[@rafaelcroes4051]

A bit narrow, but very practical boat...Thxs Nick

[@pupu6oi74]

for this size, this boat is perfect. perfect!
