£350,000 Yacht Tour : Project Sunseeker RED

[@gervers]

This is a serious piece of kit that has been brilliantly modernised whilst still remaining fundamentally Sunseeker! Just superb. Thank you Richard for sharing this refurb with us and thank you Nick for bringing this to us! Cannot wait for the next one. Have a great weekend one and all!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure. You too!

[@alisavas9526]

Incredible renovation. The quality is superb. Richard is very good at what he's doing. Everything is very well thought out. I really like the strong colour scheme but it might not be for everybody's taste. It's personal. This has been an amazing journey and I really like the finished boat.

[@zakelwe]

I think the colour scheme is inspired, it really stands out amongst all the traditionally coloured boats. Like a Lambo though, you have to not mind being stared at or photographed ( not an issue I have in my diesel Yaris covered with battle scars and duct tape ...) Richard did a fantastic job, I thought Nick was joking when asking if it was going to be sold, but as Richard mentioned he loves the project side just as much. The next one will be higher level again I bet.

[@johningham4942]

It's always a pleasure to meet Richard and listen to him talk passionately about his wonderful transformation of this classic Sunseeker, "RED!" I, like many other avid "Aquaholic " followers was amazed by what Richard and his team achieved over 18 laborious months. From a wreck to a boat that has been totally transformed into an iconic masterpiece! Well done Richard!

[@bobuncle8704]

So impressed. That is one lovely boat. Classic lines yet completely up to date. Richard and his team did amazing work. He should be right proud of what they’ve accomplished. Thanks for the tour Nick.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

Richard's attention to detail and engineering standards are amazing....he's the guy you would want working on your own boat. Nick, I could almost hear you dribbling!!!😉

[@amcconnell6730]

I love the electrics and ancilliaries in the engine bay safely built into those cabinets with the clear view doors. So neat.

[@davetrythall9228]

A genuine labour of love. The pride in Richard's voice (completely well deserved) is blatantly obvious as he talked us through this brilliant tour. An absolutely fantastic renovation. Can't wait to see his next project. Thanks Nick really enjoyed this 👍

[@TaxTheMonkey]

An outstanding job by Richard, the colour scheme really pops and accentuates the beautiful lines the boat has.

[@marvinrascal3376]

This art piece does not look like it's pushing 25y/o. Achingly gorgeous.

[@moejaime2654]

That is the thing about boat projects once they are done right they almost look better than new .

[@marvinrascal3376]

@@moejaime2654 I agree. The truly impressive part about this build is that the o/e spec sheet has been launched out of the window.

[@koomaj]

Nick needs to follow the next project too. Richard is amazing!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

If he builds another (and I suspect he will), we'll be there!

[@davidmeek8017]

Aloha; brilliant! Kudo's to Richard - his vision and his persistence! Looking forward to his next project - his vision. Mahalo

[@alexis1959]

Simply gorgeous - Richard has done an amazing job and this boat will get snapped up soon I am sure - Can't wait for Richard's next project!

[@archiebob11]

You should be proud, a fantastic project and a stunning result. Thanks Nick for taking us on the journey 😊👍

[@markwarn6085]

Fantastic boat, so much work and detail from Richard. Thanks for sharing and calm seas.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nicomeier8098]

FANTASTIC JOB!!! I love the way he has modernized this boat, especially the interior with the materials he has chosen, the glass roof instead of the portholes, the coffee machine and microwave hidden yet easily accessible to keep the clean look, outstanding. And just look at how clean and organised the engine room is..... Sunseeker would have wished they produced this boat like that in their time.....

[@marshallsonmotorsltd2101]

This man’s passion and attention to detail is something very special. Well done 👏

[@MrJohnClarke]

Stunning boat, well done Richard, looking forward to the next one!

[@adambaker229]

Having been involved with the sale of Richards last 34 I can vouch for the quality of RC's work. This current 34 is miles ahead of the previous 34 is design, love the light coming through the foredeck/saloon ceiling. Worth every penny, what a stand out boat!!!! Adam Baker Global Yacht Brokers. 😍😎😎😎

[@kevinkeswick1243]

What a STUNNING refurbishment ! I love the shade of the red hull complimented by the black carbon fiber T-top. Everything about the boat inside and out is first class. The owner Richard has good reason to be proud of his creation.

[@Just_a_Proud_Dad]

Excellent series, and thank you Richard for taking us along. You did an exceptional job of telling RED’s rebirth story. Bravo!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@peterwright563]

I've just re-watched the first video of this project (Nov 2020) to remind myself how it all started. I must admit I wouldn't know how to begin a project this big! Hats off to Richard for his talent at completing such a project. I would recommend anybody to watch the first video again to see the before and after!

[@corno]

Have you got a link to the video?

[@DiddyfloofandMischief]

Beautiful boat & an amazing restroration. The attention to detail is phenomenal & I think the colour is gorgeous, such a fantastic way to bring bring an old boat back to life.

[@kieranharriman7055]

Richard is a craftsman. The detail he put in on Red was remarkable. Made a dated boat look bang up to date. Love it. Great series of videos which made us feel part of it. Great work Nick and Richard .

[@liorecitbon9464]

WoW !! I did kind of same project on my Baja express 34 until i had to stop in some point because i could see another 1 million things could be change and done. but man..this guy is total! didnt miss any detail .. went all the way with no short cut or complemis !! I know how many hard thinkings and decitions must be made before each detail no mantion the hard work and the endless amount of money must put in such project ! Big LIKE to Richard & Respect !! Your boat is perfect and one of a kind !

[@danielamazing3264]

Fantastic to see a tour of something I personally have followed since the birth of the project! Amazing how much Richard has achieved, and how modern and almost new this boat looks. Thanks Nick and Richard for the tour.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@anthonypaterson7066]

Hi, Ab Fab is about all I can say. It's no wonder his Motorhomes are a class product . What he can improve on in another project will be something to behold. Very well done.

[@timeline1018]

All of the hard work has paid off, what a stunning boat. Absolutely gorgeous, we’ll done.

[@mikewilliams1299]

Absolutely fantastic! Respect to Richard. Followed this from day 1 as the enthusiasm to finish was immediately evident. I doubt that any of us thought that it would turn out to be so much of a transformation. So…………it’s for sale then………come on Nick you know as well as the rest of us that it’s got your name all over it. Just persuade Richard that his next project should be on your boat and there’s your deposit sorted. All joking aside make sure you are involved with the next project from ground zero. Ideas, plans, sourcing the boat etc etc. Go on mate buy it!!!!!!!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

If only I could afford it! 🙂

[@moejaime2654]

Amazing project Nick ! Cheers to your friend and you for documenting it ! I know he will enjoy his hard & lovely work for years to come .

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@joesantos3717]

Just stunning, Richard has some serious engineering skills and flair!! Well done, hope it sells quick just to see the next project documented by Nick on Aquaholics. It's almost more pleasurable to see the whole process than the final product...loved the series! 👌

[@heathwellsNZ]

Gosh, what a fantastic result! I hope you follow the next project!

[@slikyiky1340]

In the car world this would be termed as a "Classic Restomod".......rebuilt with enthusiasm, dedication and love....well done!

[@mmsmits2868]

Some folks might be surprised that it's for sale. Why not keep it and enjoy it? I think much of the enjoyment of this boat was the renovation. Some people do that with boats, some with houses, and I know quite a few people who spend a decade or more building a massive model railroad only to rip it out the moment it's finished (sometimes before then). For many people, figuring out how to do something like that is more satisfying than having it finished. This is a spectacular, for all intents and purposes brand new boat. Fantastic job, Richard! And thanks to Nick for following from the start!

[@alleycat5472]

Attention to detail is amazing. This has been a great series. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@bratan911]

the boat is so nice (well done richart)

[@desfalon3898]

Amazing project have enjoyed every step, Richard is an extremely talented guy, looking forward to the next project.

[@loua1765]

Hello Nick. You are killing me posting this boat again. I absolutely LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!!! Why are you TORTURING ME THIS WAY?? LOL!!! Anyway thanks and I hope you are enjoying your summer cruising around on Smugger's Blues II. Be well Jersey Lou

[@gaycha6589]

Boat looks good in the marina - have passed it a few times now. Looks like much work to keep the shine up and the salt/seagulsh off of it. A labour of love

[@justinlinnane8043]

Beautifully done . Love the period grey upholstery with red piping . The attention to detail and quality of the workmanship is impressive. A true object of desire .

[@Mark..P]

What a stunning conversion. You can see the love that has gone into it 👏

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Fantastic boat 🛥🚤⛵️👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@deborahhubery4862]

That is an absolute credit to the builder, absolutely beautiful boat

[@robertblenkinsop2483]

What a transformation , the man is an absolute craftsman with a excellent eye for detail . 11 out of 10 👌

[@andrewavraam4672]

The look on Richard’s Dad’s face when RED was launched said it all Pride in his and his accomplishments, well done 👍🏼

[@clivecro4971]

The faberge egg of the boating community...she is simply beautiful Richard. I am in awe, enough said. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@seanogden927]

Super looking yacht, Richard's a very talented guy to do all this. Like every thing about it, definitely a boat I would love to own. Great tour Nick thank you.

[@buzzinsmaug6794]

Wow ..Great dingy boat to go with a larger vessel..Should just about fit in the rear garage. I was concerned about the colour scheme but have totally bought into it now ..Great repair and upgrade job mate..Looking forward to seeing your new Project ..once you have sold this 👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@5464348643]

Incredible! Just incredible. The choices and implementations have produced a work of art. Well done Richard, and thank you for sharing it with us Nick.

[@janeloney4549]

Wow wat a machine love the red thanks nick brilliant tour

[@mikemorris3608]

The one we’ve been waiting for 😁😁😁

[@christopheripad477]

#meetoo

[@MrDazP1adv3ntures]

Massive big thumbs up to Richard for his craftsmanship and passion. His smile said it all.

[@johnwynne2179]

Brilliant workmanship, attention to detail is 1st rate, Richard must be really proud of how the refurb has turned out, a 1998 boat, brought slap bang into 2022,really well done

[@RobertCardwell]

I would definitely leave that table set out for seating. Wonderful engineering spaces. What a beautiful walk through.

[@oddpodd701]

Quite simply in a class of it's own. Unbelievable refurb. Congratulations

[@davidbrowning4021]

Hi Nick, I have just finished binge watching Project Sunseeker in a very short amount of time!! Richard shoukd be very proud of himself for creating a master piece and floating work of art, very impressive. As an old Sunseeker employee myself it is great to see one restored so beautifully. This particular boat was built just before my time but I was involved with the production of the Hawk 34 and it was always one of my favourites-

[@sk2283]

fantastic modernisation of a classic boat - it looks amazing - and I've seen it around the bay many times this summer it is so distinctive - it is definitely being put to good use !

[@WOW-li4uj]

Seeing that boat will never get old. She looks amazing in that color!

[@lear60man]

One of the best build series on YT. The whole boat is stunning but that interior......wow!

[@cbrusharmy]

They did an incredible job on the fit and finish, and that engine room is a thing of beauty. cheers

[@alcyonacelano3725]

We have been admiring this stunning boat in Torquay marina for a week just recently. The most eye catching boat. Thank you guys for a great tour of this stunner. A real treat. 💗🙂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

Wow this is amazing. Congratulations on all your hard work Richard, it's paid off magnificently

[@shawnphillips6203]

Thank you Nick for a splendid tour of Richards finished project. It is an absolutely amazing machine. Frankly it’s brilliant! I can’t wait to see his next project.

[@andykelly1292]

This is a guy who has got every right to be as proud as punch he's done an absolutely fantastic job 👍

[@triskellian]

Brilliant work! Richard is rightfully a happy boater!

[@travelling_stephen]

This is a remarkable transformation more like floating piece of art. Well done to Richard and all concerned. It would be interesting to see what sunseeker thinks of this beautiful restoration.

[@maddoctor99]

Possibly the most eagerly-anticipated video on the channel to date! Fantastic!

[@jackirichard414]

The boat sure is beautiful and sleek looking ! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤🚤

[@zucods]

She looks AMAZING on the water! What a gorgeous colour! Epic build. If only I could aford it.. Congrats, Richard, it's a beautiful masterpiece. Cheers!

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick and Richard. Wow. An awesome transformation, definitely the right man for the job. It's amazing what he has achieved. All new look, technology and furnishings. A journey worth every minute. Great walkthrough tour thanks 😊

[@Mike-ie6ee]

Everything is incredible but the engine area I could stare at all day. Thank you, Richard and Nick, for this nautical marvel!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@mrwhykickamoocow8676]

This old broom has had 14 new heads and 17 new handles in it’s time 😂. This boat looks amazing, top quality job 🤌🏼.

[@jimmybeeney8657]

Stunning boat. Lovely colour scheme, looks amazing.

[@CaptainCrash999]

What a beautiful renovation!! Boat looks absolutely incredible and love the colours used throughout, amazing what you can get in there, thanks for the tour, I reckon someone will snap that up very soon

[@DavidJohnson-pd4zl]

The boat is superb. It would not be possible to replicate this level of thought and modernity in a production boat. If the price is £375000, then this on one hand is good value for money. On the other though it is not a new boat as such, but a totally restored and rebuilt 23 year old boat. A Superhawk 34. Can the money it cost ever be recovered. Perhaps as a classic it could, though most such restorations are a labour of love only.

[@futte2303]

It has been a pleasure to follow Richardt's restoration of the boat. He is an incredibly skilled craftsman and engineer. It's been some incredibly good videos you've made Nick. More of them are very welcome

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you very much! 🙂

[@rogersmj]

The attention to detail on this is incredible. There’s even LED lighting inside the wiring cabinets in the engine bay. Really impressive work.

[@javierechevarria1548]

Richard, you have to sell Nick RED. and build another one for you. Congratulations for the great jo. I give you a 10. Nick, I can’t wait to see you and Marianne on it

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I wish! 😄

[@goodtimefamily5751]

He did an amazing job on this transformation! It's unreal how much work was put in and the results. Glad he's going to enjoy it for a little bit and can't wait for another project!

[@markperrins9485]

What can one say. Amazing. I’ve watched the whole series on this boat.

[@Jamesah1975]

I’ve never wanted a boat more than this!!! Truly stunning.

[@siraff4461]

The only thing I would change is the handles on the cupboards in the lounge. I can imagine hitting heads or bits on them. Apart from that its brilliant and for a full build to turn out so well is great.

[@debbiejudd4933]

She a stunner. I love everything about her. I hope she gives him many years of enjoyment. Thank you doth.

[@garethchild]

The quality and attention to detail is excellent. Well done.

[@quentint8742]

Sunseeker should offer him a consultant position. maybe supply him with parts for his next project to see what he can improve over their regular designs. The boat is a steal at the price he’s offering it for. It’s a unique one off original built from the ground up with the best of the best equipment in it.

[@trentstoner4102]

What a lovely boat, virtually brand new. Looking forward to the next project of Richard's

[@seantwomey396]

Richard did a wonderful job. The red and black coffee cup epitomizes his attention to detail. He did indeed Realize Every Dream with his great toy.

[@poppops62]

I very much hope that we get to see Richards next project on the channel. Red is just a work of art and Richard is a craftsman of the highest order.

[@Davidm1056]

Absolutely beautiful and spectacular work. Congratulations on a job superbly done.

[@nick3551]

Nice video Nick, that's a beautiful boat 👍

[@d14551]

This is such a gorgeous boat, and it was such a pleasure to watch it all take shape. Congratulations!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@espenliebak6875]

Just insane 😱 what a rebuild, its so impressive that words cant describe it! Epic work

[@dorislyons6223]

Just seen RED today, whilst visiting Torquay. Looks so impressive and really stands out in the marina. 👍

[@MaybuTron]

£375k? No, no, no, that boat is priceless! I've absolutely loved watching this series from start to finish. The attention to detail is second to none! This is boat will turn heads wherever it ports!! Thanks for bringing us along the journey of this incredible machine!

[@dieynad]

Hello. This is such a fabulous yacht. It already got me at lovely colour but everything else is truly amazing too. Thank you for this lovely tour. 🌸🌼💐

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@Johnnyb1695]

You have done a great job (I have enjoyed following Project Sunseeker from start to finnish) Thank You

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@chrispiyarat5507]

"A sense of pride and achievement" hahahaa. I remember when Richard built a shed around this tired old neglected basket case. Perhaps not a basket case but a rough diamond waiting to be cut. Some people have a vision and go all the way. It's a diamond now and it's been cut by a master. Congratulations Richard and thanks Nick for showing this amazing transformation. Absolutely incredible. Thanks for sharing this long hard journey with all of us. Much appreciated. I've been smiling every step of the way.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@bunksunbound5785]

Amazing to see it all finally finished in detail. What a fantastic job he’s done with RED 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@rdvgraaff]

Don’t have time to watch it now, but have my like before anything else.

[@MoultrieGeek]

Simply stunning in every detail. I wouldn't be able to sell it myself, not with all the blood, sweat and tears Richard put into to it, but I understand the allure and excitement of "the next big project". Thanks Richard and, of course, Nick for showing us every step of the way in the restoration of this magnificent yacht.

[@wesleyingram4703]

Beautiful boat, excellent turn around, looks brand new!!!! :-)
