$349,000 1997 NAVIGATOR 5600 SUNDANCE Power Motor Yacht Tour / Liveaboard Boat

[@robertbenson9337]

The condition of this vessel is amazing. Especially the engine room. the engines look brand new. Plenty of storage space. The layout and space is very comfortable. For a 24 year old boat it is in pristine condition.

[@SaorAlba1970]

that boat/yacht is a ideal live aboard when you compare it to house/apartment prices in that part of America ... you have a great entertainment section on the fly bridge and on the cockpit also comes with aa large dingy and a smaller one so you and your guests can go on wee adventures and scouting out for good spots to anchor the boat what a great boat ... thanks for sharing Rico & Victoria .... just goes to show there loads of life in older yachts if you look after them right

[@andyvankerkhove6902]

a house or appartment will go up in value... this old piece of polyester is woth nothing in a couple of years... this is ridiculous

[@teaeff8898]

@@andyvankerkhove6902 not a boater, I assume. It’s made of fibreglass, and it has an equivalent lifespan to the shoddy shit they put up in giant suburban tracts. So at least 50 years, maybe 75 or 100? Theres fibreglass boats from the 50s people still use daily. There’s wooden boats that are 100-150 years old. Or more.

[@C10sRule]

@@teaeff8898 so true. If they are well cared for, not unlike a home, they will retain their value at this point. There was a big amount of depreciation initially. Not unlike housing as well, you would pay right near, if not over, $1,000,000 for an equivalent replacement. Ouch!!!

[@notboeingnotgoing5483]

I did the live aboard deal back in S Florida in the 90's before I was married, some great times

[@DC-si8xw]

it's not that easy. boats are always trying to sink and degrade in the salt water. marina fees can be the same as a mortgage and the resale not good. there is always repairs to be made. also your insurance company may not even let you move the boat yourself to enjoy a weekend getaway without enough experience as a captain

[@Puddlepiratesince1953]

I been watching you two since you started. The good Lord knows if I could I would live the same nautistyle y'all do. But watching your show keeps the dream alive. You two are awesome.

[@NautiStyles]

Thank you soooo much!

[@johnhecker7652]

Is this still available?

[@lionelgower6877]

This is a really impressive yacht for its age and price. Loved the dingy cradle location,

[@franksierz4774]

The both of you are nothing short of phenomenal ! I thoroughly enjoy all of your yacht tour shows.

[@arekpetrosian4965]

It's me and my wife and our daughter...this boat would be PERFECT!! Great tour as usual, Vico!! I love your back-and-forth, you guys are awesome together. And the out takes are always a real treat!!

[@dodgeguyz]

That looks to be a very well maintained boat. You can see the pride in ownership everywhere! Love that they kept some of the old school electronics, like the house phone and cell phone, great conversation pieces. Me and my wife are RV’ers, but I can see living on this for months at a time.

[@Pickogeuner]

What an amazing boat! Wow. Thank you both so much for showing us this! Absolutely love the way you guys mix the types, capabilities and different purposes of the boats you show us. But gotta say I love the layout of this one. Great compromises in the right places. ❤️

[@Pickogeuner]

Ps. Glad you both had a great time in Spain. Fingers crossed you guys can make it to Southampton boat show one day! Colab with Aquaholic maybe? 🤜🤛

[@NautiStyles]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@NautiStyles]

@Paul Pickett Yes and Yes

[@mikes3827]

@@NautiStyles What's great about owning and/or living aboard boats is that unlike automobiles that can look VERY dated after a number of years, the average layperson can't usually discern between a newer boat vs. a model 20+/- years old, especially when the interior is remodeled with modern electronics/TVs, newer furniture, etc. And for the price it is REALLY a great condo alternative. I'm looking to purchase one of these used units, and you two motivated and inspired me to wanna do it.

[@unfurling3129]

@@mikes3827 Stop caring what others think. You will never meet them. It's not relevant if they think it's new or old.

[@stkygrnz]

lol, I love watching the two of you give yacht tours. Not only are we provided great information about the boat, but we are thoroughly entertained as well during the process. No outtakes even needed, they're just an added plus at the end. That little old school cell phone bit was hilarious! Another great tour of what definitely looks like a perfect liveaboard. If only I wasn't stuck in the middle of Minnesota. Great video and tour! Thanks, Victoria and Rico.

[@wingedmonkeys548]

this boat is really really interesting, spacious, comfortable the layout is really cleverly thought out!! most of the navigators are highly sought after for their interior space! those who are a pity is that there are very few in europe because manufacturing In the USA !! in any case for this video you and Rico you had the right words for this boat you felt the positivity of this 56 foot ship !! awesome video...

[@constantineding8700]

I like the practicality oozing throughout the whole boat. Take the master cabin as example, the boat is only 4.57 meter in width and it still fit a kingsize bed in it. We have a lot of new modern boat with wider beam but with a much smaller bed in the full beam master just to give more space to make the airy feeling. We definately spend most of the time in our bedroom on bed. So a bigger bed absolutely has preference over something like a chaise lounge. I also love the true full beam lounge area with everything in the right place. It's more like a living room of a beach-side condo, the only difference is that you could change the view outside of your window as you wish.

[@tomkibbe835]

aside from being extremely entertaining as usual, you two are more thorough and organized than any other brokers -- by far. thx!

[@unfurling3129]

To be fair I have only seen organised & thorough yacht walk-thrus.

[@Floorguy1000]

I love your affordable live-aboard series. 56 foot, under $300k -- very nice. Must have undergone major renos during its life...doesn't look like a 97 to me. Thanks again !

[@NautiStyles]

We agree!

[@jcs480able]

The stabilizers and engine room definitely perked my attention. I would knock out the cabinets behind the 2 chairs in the salon and fabricate a built in couch with storage under the cushions to really open up that space. Great find.

[@doncummings3915]

If I was selling my yacht, you are a perfect couple for this mission....the editing is done every well, choice of music is perfect...the emotion level is always very positive....key rule that you do well, if you see something that could be viewed as a detractor, you choose to turn it into a positive by pointing out all the possibilities you s the new owner can make...your vibration as a couple is perfect...one is spirited, high energy, the other balanced, anchored and reserved...the entire presentation flow is perfect, good job, have watched everyone of your vids, you provide great info and provide an entertaining info vid....thank you for another job well done

[@NautiStyles]

Thank you Don, that's probably because we don't sell anything to anyone... just touring them with you all :)

[@the-chillian]

KZbin kept recommending this one to me. It looks as if you made it several months before I started watching your channel and the boat has probably sold by now, but it was a good watch anyway. It's hard to believe this was less than 2 years ago -- you guys have come so far since then! It's nice that Victoria will never have to be jealous of a refrigerator or full washer-dryer ever again, and Rico will always have an engine room he can stand up in. But it's hard to imagine how much work you guys had to do behind the scenes to get to where you are now.

[@NautiStyles]

🙏🏻🥳 thank you so much, appreciate your support

[@elcajondavid1]

It might be old but it is without a doubt a definitely a beauty.

[@gradyneal]

Seriously one of the best layouts I've seen in a long time. It really is a great live aboard.

[@barrysaiff8475]

This seems like an awesome boat. Really helps give me hope that I could find something affordable that really works as a liveaboard.

[@karlshook4586]

It’s only a one person shower if you are actually showering. lol. Once again you guys have given us not only a thorough tour , but an entertaining one as well. I really like it and it’s affordable.

[@gbsailing9436]

LOL. I love your out takes, every time! This is a nice boat and not pretentious about itself. Reasonable price tag. Seems clean and well looked after. I can see myself using and living on this one. The parties on the top deck....Yeah nice! I like that the master cabin is separated from the guest cabins. The exposed upper helm would really suit where I live, no need to enclose it. 👍 Great work again Nautistyles!!! Keep show me more like this!

[@gugugaga8857]

Dido . Well said.

[@NautiStyles]

Glad to hear you liked it

[@markhancock6694]

This is the best/nicest 50+ footer you guys have done yet!! The best layout I have ever seen in this style of boat. My only concern would the number of engine hours on each power plants. A perfect boat. So clean and such a great use of space bow to stern. If it was on the east coast, I would buy it today. The only thing I would do is spend the $10,000 (??) to add a hard top on the fly bridge. Rico was a little rushed this time. Eat something next time guy!! Enjoyed the video! Keep it up.

[@JyttesTrailCamera]

Your enthusiasm is always so contagious 😄 Great walk through.

[@AdrienSeguy]

Wow, this boat really is amazing. Truly one of the best liveaboards I've seen

[@C10sRule]

I wish I could have seen something this nice when I was hunting for a used yacht/apartment to use when visiting Victoria/Vancouver. I would have snapped it up!!! There just wasn’t though, not for this price anyway. I am happy with my Grand Banks Europa 52, but this is much roomier with only 4 additional feet. I leased the Grand Banks and to recover most of lease cost, I will buy it out and re-sell it. They don’t last long on the market. It took me a couple of long days, but my yacht is almost as clean as this, but is a 1992 model with 3 year old electronics. Garmin. I have been to Vancouver and back with it, which is a decent trip for starting out. Lots of boat and ship traffic, and open water that can get seriously rough when the winds get blowing. On the way back we dropped anchor and caught a halibut and 2 15 lb lying cods. We were set for fish for the next week or so for 5 guys. The amount of meat you get from a decent sized halibut is amazing. Ocean living is soooo amazing. I couldn’t do it full time as my wife and family are all in Alberta (she gets motion sickness quite easily so doesn’t come out but we did secure access to the property owner’s guest cabin when his family and friends are not in it. That way some of the wives can come out also and sleep there if they like. It’s funny but with all of us being 50 and up, also from the prairies, none of our wives except a couple, are even interested in more than visiting the yacht,,,, hahaha. Not entirely a bad thing. I now have 2 leather sofa beds in the lounge so there’s decent sleeping areas when a group of guys join on board. The upper deck is enclosed with a hardtop & canvas and a couple of the guys have slept up there even. You could easily do the same with this yacht. I guess if I’m going to get serious about keeping a yacht on the coast, maybe a trip to the states could pay off if I can’t find what I like locally! You two have found some very nice examples there. It’s not an impossible cruise up the coast.we have seen and met with several yacht owners coming up from California in the summer and even on this trip. I go home tomorrow! Sighhhhh hahaha. We caught enough fish for each of my brothers and their families to last the winter! I also did pretty good but will be back out so am only taking one halibut home this trip. Since it was processed as soon as we docked, some earlier than that even, and then frozen to about - 30 right after, it should be very fresh all winter. Ocean living is so very awesome! The fish is free, but the upkeep of the yacht makes it kind of expensive,,, haha. Those stabilizers are really an awesome feature and the fact the leather is original,,,,, well, there’s one well kept yacht!! Thanks you two!!!

[@MickBrossard]

I love this boat and she is well set and organized in every ways for safe journey. All equipment's are well placed and easy to use. Thank you for presenting her to us.👍☀

I love when you two do these walkthroughs for the yachts you're showcasing. They bring so much to dream about. It's always been my dream to own a yacht, but I don't think I can ever own one.

What a thoughtful and loving observation. I'm a former USAF flight Medic and RN for 23 years. I consider you my friends and am grateful for what you do. Danke Schon

I think, it should be the new „ Nauti“ Headquarter for you to work and live on. Why not? I would think about this. Really enjoyable useful fun vessel with space and equipment. Some little changes and it goes. A lot of real value for this amount of money. Maybe not the big deal bargain, but highly recommended to live on. Great job 👏 team Nauti Styles.

Thank you kindly!

[@hunyesmith03]

I love stuff like this! With a bit of savings and a loan anyone can afford a livaboard and this is the perfect combination of price, size & features! I’d be very happy with this. When me and my SO moved back home to London (UK, not Ontario) after a 5 year break I wanted to buy a yacht but that idea was shot down pretty quickly. Maybe justifiably but on one side we had nice relatively large motoryacht moored in The Thames in a C.London dock or a medium sized apartment in a different part of C.London & where I grew up. So we obviously chose the apartment but whilst I’m so happy to be back in the area I grew up and surrounded by family and nostalgia I can’t help but think about what could’ve been. A home on the water capable of sailing around the world, docking in beautiful places, or simply dropping anchor & living off grid sounds amazing! I guess that dream will have to wait the 30-40 years it will take me to reach retirement! I just have to build up enough “marriage points” because that’s all marriage is, scoring points!

I wish you would discuss what a boat slip would cost for all the boats you review. And what maintenance and fuel cost on a annual base. I have owned eight boats. But as I have said before prior to buying everyone needs to get an independent survey of any boat you consider buying. Just my .02.

I'm an RV guy myself so I can admit I don't know too much about boats except for the related parts that they use on an RV like the Dometic fridge that looks like it was taken right out of a motorhome..oh and the washer dryer is a combo stack unit not two separate units..they are joined at the hip like my aunt Rosa!! haha I mean yes they are separate in reason they aren't like a combo Splendide brand model but when one goes south the other joins it!!
