£350,000 Yacht Tour : 2010 Broom 425

[@Themadhatton]

Nick I’ve been watching for a while now but just wanna say it’s so refreshing to see videos of boats with no editing and no obnoxious music, just a genuine person with a genuine interest making funny videos with the jokes left in whilst being educational at the same time. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind 🙂

[@iffrit6757]

@@AQUAHOLIC Not only kind but more importantly he's RIGHT. One could watch any of your videos and not only be entertained but well informed too no matter what level of boater he/she is. Of course this leads to some repetition like the famous 'little ship feelnig', the 'proverbial good book' or the mirror-waves, but those things are funny. To make it clear: I do not want to 'brownnose' you, I don't know you, there's nothing in it for me, but from time to time praise has to be heaped upon persons... 👍

[@nikolaspaschalidis7869]

100%. Keep the hard work up Nick!

[@Oggiwara1]

I agreed. Especially the lack of obnoxious "music" mixed with a casual way of presenting the boats and the numbers is very appealing to me.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Hear, hear!!

[@RandyRodgirth]

I’ve never been on a yacht. Never considered owning one. But ever since the KZbin algorithm recommended an Aquaholics video I must have watched in excess of 50 yacht tours and owning one now features prominently in my lotto dream wish list. Great content for people of all budgets (and none), maybe one day.

[@arkadandfortuna1582]

Ditto

[@abuhamza1970]

Same here. Being a complete townie, I was totally ignorant of the boating community but thanks to this channel I feel the need to go boating.

[@oliverfrey7511]

I know we keep on saying that, but I cannot shake the feeling, that this would make a great retirement get-out-and-stay-out boat for Marianne and you. You can post a video once a week, first tour the UK, then go across to France and into the rivers down to the med. Must get back to work and stop dreaming. Thank you for the coffee break.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It's a plan!

[@nicolasbouyiouclis4726]

@@AQUAHOLIC a very good plan I might add...

[@BWanderers]

@@nicolasbouyiouclis4726 Ditt Very '0'! R.

[@itsallgonemad]

Golly that boat is cavernous on the inside! Raising the helm to that ‘mid flybridge’ position allows for a huge uninterrupted saloon while still giving a more than adequate cockpit. This ticks a LOT of boxes, great find Nick, spot on! 😃👋🏻

[@jwhofer]

My thoughts exactly. What a MASSIVE interior living space!

[@nergregga]

I love when you show "lived in" boats, and I particularly like the layout of this one. It's cozy, kinda of like a cottage on the sea.

[@roarksjuror4752]

Another great video. These aft cabin layouts like the Dale Nelson and the Aquastar are super practical. I love the trademark, "This is... pauses to open and make sure... storage." That's become a bit of a catch phrase in our house.

[@g9rud]

You wouldn’t think this boat is over ten years old, just shows you how well made these Brooms are, well put together boat. Great tour as always

[@neilconnor254]

how many miles would it cover say at 7knots?

[@AlexPittendreigh]

I was not expecting that 3rd cabin. Looks to be a really nice boat with good use of space and plenty of amenities. As you suggested Nick, looks ideal for the grey nomads to spend some time on her and enjoy her. Indeed would suit more than just the grey nomads.

[@ethansenior9918]

Brooms build quality really is something else! More of a gentlemans cruiser. They seem much happier taking it chill than going flat out. Makes me miss my Dads Broom 50. Even for a 2001 model it looked modern! Think it had a pair of 660bhp Caterpillars...29 knots with a clean hull. Quite surprising for such a big boat.

[@joshmawer2926]

This boat was my grandfathers, so it’s great to see it again because I’ve got some great memories of it! Also great to see some people applauding the ownership of it, he did take great care of it 😆

[@bobuncle8704]

I do like theses Broom’s. The aft cabin, and single upper helm leave so much more interior space. Excellent boat

[@gbsailing9436]

Very similar to the Searay 505. Do you think you could find one of those and review it Nick PLEASE!!!

[@robashton8606]

Now _that_ I am very taken with. Broom wasn't a manufacturer I was familiar with before I began watching Aquaholic, but their aft cabin boats are rapidly moving up my fantasy vessel list (A Nordhavn 55 still resides at No.1). Spending a couple of months enjoying the French waterways, then ending up in the Med sounds like an excellent idea. One day ...

[@arkadandfortuna1582]

Your vids re-introduced me more into boats&yachts (didn’t think if it much beforehand) and now I’m a born-again boating lover. -I’m from NorthAmerica & Nicks tours are simply the best, no others can compare!

[@riteshr.k.fatnfine3004]

It's not surprising that a Broom has just swept me off my feet. That's what Brooms are for. As ever , Nice Nick

[@darrenp2225]

Nick the way you go about your reviews are so refreshing , informative and entertaining. I'm never going to afford one but you're the closest I'll ever get to walking around one. Keep them coming i love it.

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

She is a gorgeous boat. I do like that layout as it gives you so much more space. That single armchair i was expecting you to say Nick you would sit there with a good book. Thank you for showing us around

[@johnnyboy48rice44]

Nick your a great presenter & I enjoy watching your videos , after a long day at work. Your very informative & knowledgable person. I find it relaxing just watching your tours. Never been interested in boats until I discovered your channel . I’m a motorhomer & now a boat enthusiast.thank to you. If you ever get time , would you do Torquay harbour tour of the boats in dock . Lovely place , been many times , as mother in law lives in Paignton. Keep up the great content 👍🏻

[@DBO3671]

As part of your tours, you can really see the stark difference in how various people care for the yachts they own. This one has obviously had a very fastidious owner. Incredible condition for a 2010 boat.

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

That's a great boat for the money, it's vast inside and as always brilliantly explained on the walk through by you, Nick.

[@norarivkis2513]

This boat has a ridiculous amount of space for its length. I'm impressed.

[@mikenib]

Two months ago I was into buying a new car. After finding your channel I am into buying a used boat. Cheers from Athens.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, good luck!

[@neilridge7036]

Got to be my favourite boat so far so much room 3 cabins no need for extra cockpit

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. 3 cabins for a 42 ft boat. Like the upper helm and cockpit. Plenty of space in the saloon and galley. Always love a blue hull. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

[@FLGurl]

Thank you for the tour Nick. May I please make a suggestion? Before you start filming, have a look in all the cabinets, lockers and what nots. That way you are not invading some privacy. Whoever currently owns this obviously uses it quite a bit and just seemed to have put their bits and pieces away nilly willy where ever they could find a spot. Maybe say the owner has some 'personal bits and pieces' in the cabinet. It's just a suggestion... ;-)

[@timtownsend4151]

A great tour as always Nick. That is a lovely boat. I do like the quality and layout that Broom offers. Really well thought out.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nicbennett6554]

Superb tour as usual! I was thinking it and you said it, a quality boat for retirement; gentle cruising for months end 👍

[@stuartvarvel27]

Had Broom and lived on it for five and half years

[@Matt-ls1ng]

[@landrum3893]

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you kindly!

[@iancharlton678]

Now you’re talking 🙂🇬🇧 Aft cabin, twin diesel on screws is the best way….. probably an age thing, or a miserly outlook….. but you can’t get as much accommodation and living space for the money….. pottering about on a luxury floating caravan, or big crossings 🇬🇧🙂

[@davidcutts2650]

That is a beautiful well designed boat. Love the layout.

[@useitwice]

Nice to see a boat in use! Thanks for the insight Nick, and the owner!

[@rossauld3007]

What a clever layout. Great use of space. Thanks as always Nick.

[@ornulfkittelsen]

I like this boat, affordable for a live-onboard. I would change back to a washer instead of extra drink fridge for longer time on it though. Very nice boat and as always a fantastic presentation.

[@mmsmits2868]

Aft cabins may not be the sleekest yachts, but they sure do provide a lot of space. If having a quick step down to a hi-lo bathing platform isn't a priority, then an aft cabin boat is a very smart solution! Thanks for the tour!

[@douglasthompson296]

My type of boat/second home. Galley down below!!! Leaving that saloon for living in. I would convert that bunk room into an extended galley space for extended retirement cruising 😎 and the rear stateroom is ideal for extended living/cruising. Nowwwww if only the lottery comes up then I'm all set 😉 cheers Nick, DougT the Mancs pensioner.

[@Mrsnichols1965]

This boat has a great feature that would work great here in the Eastern US, the folding arch. Great loopers would love that feature. If for some reason I'd land in some money to do that water tour, I'd have to consider this boat/maker.

[@robertgrafham9336]

Thanks, that's another great tour Nick, you have had a great mix of boat tours, well done and thanks for your insight. This could make a great little live aboard or short stay second home on the water, very nice indeed and a great use of space. It looks great and one can see that its been well looked after over the years, its not showing its age at all... Thanks Nick have a great day and looking forward to your next video tour...

[@pheryl6551]

I really like this boat. Thanks Nick

[@arekpetrosian4965]

And another lovely yacht, toured by the KZbin master of yacht videos. Thank you again, Nick, for the amazing tour - as usual. LOL

[@MrCrystalcranium]

Great boat! I miss the aft cabin layout that's been replaced in so many boats by the extended cockpit and the articulated swim platform. I suppose it's personal preference but I like the owner's cabin spaciousness and privacy at the sacrifice of the mini beach club stern. A sat dome! What a terrific summer live-aboard. I love it.

[@seanogden927]

A very nice boat with a great layout, love the master cabin and galley areas, definitely looks fantastic for its age. I also like the dark blue hull it is a colour I would choose. Cheers Nick keep them coming.

What a cracking boat. It’s in excellent condition for the age. Great tour Nick, the only thing you missed was the range! 😉

[@rumanuu]

Someone likes their beer and (gin and) tonic. Lovely boat by the way. I've got to say I love river cruising, probably more so than on the sea.

[@davidmwood560]

Excellent boat, I particularly like the idea of having crockery stored vertically. I've had plates damaged in heavy seas when stacked. A small point, I know, but these boats have always been well thought out. Really good tour Nick

[@frankiegregoriou4604]
