£395,000 Yacht Tour & Drive : Chris-Craft Catalina 34

[@simonfarrow1782]

I wonder why you’re looking more to the right than left Nick 🥰🥰🥰

[@laurirobinson8346]

My dad used build Chris Craft boats! He worked for Uniflight and then they switched over to Chris Craft in Bellingham, WA.

[@Spreadie]

That looks like bags of fun - I'll add it to the list of toys I'll need when I win the lottery. Maybe I really should start buying lottery tickets!

[@googlevoicer]

What an awesome little walk around tour and THEN we get a "Fun Run" to boot!!! I smiled the whole time on the water and NEEDED a good grin ~ Thanks Again! 😁

[@timothysnow5]

Thank you

[@paulogrinke7020]

Very nice boat. Impressed not only by the cabin but also that it reaches over 40 knots with a crusing speed of 30. Nice video. Thankyou

[@chrisblackmore1961]

Those engines sound amazing. Just pure raw power. How have I missed this tour? I thought I saw them all. Happy day for me, two new tours in a row. Bravo!

[@brianb4942]

Fantastic to see another Chris-Craft boat, I love their attention to detail and design features. Pure luxury.

[@terencecottington4273]

A few years back I qualified as an advanced diver and looking at how clear that sea was back then, I would have loved to dive in that area. Until you've experienced whats below, you can never really appreciate what lies beneath. Put simply, it's a stunning new world, waiting to be discovered.

[@GeVeBeGaming]

Stunning looking, amazing sleek lines, and I love the boat too :-)

[@Salrous]

That was live bait storage with the o2 filter and underneath is tackle boxes or storage, I rented this boat (similar Chris craft) in Florida for fishing

[@henryparsnip]

Your enthusiasm is contagious. Wonderful

[@chunkychinn]

Very nice indeedee, great tender! Very lovely company at your side as well!!

[@stevepiccinnin1157]

Glad to see u n the mrs are taking time to enjoy the summer

[@valfinnie5799]

Beautiful craftsmanship,especially that woodwork.

[@patrickbrookings]

Cool, nice to see another boat in action, and to have your family along with you having fun :) Looks like a great little boat!

[@tyroniousyrownshoolacez2347]

Love Chris Crafts ingenuity with the dual silicone cockpit.

[@andygillett3165]

Nice, fast, fun boat. I wasn't expecting the cabin. Great use of space :)

[@gervers]

Living the dream!!!! Looked like great fun in a great boat!

[@Northernz1]

Gorgeous, the boats pretty nice too...

Cool. I really like the old Chris Crafts because my Grandfather had a 55 foot Constellation built in the late 1950s (he was a vice president of Skelly Oil). My home life wasn't great but I have wonderful memories of summers spent on that Yacht exploring the east coast.

[@belarusss13]

Very high quality workmanship. Them seats are stunning.

[@tucker9162]

Look at the colour of the sea - a very beautiful blue.

[@DBO3671]

No onboard Miele? .. !

[@richardharrison6993]

Hahaha!

[@P100KLE]

Lovely... the lower deck is well nice. Wasn’t expecting to see a toilet never mind the rest of it.

[@jgriff3218]

Great ride. Loved the scenery.

[@MrScotia]

Was not expecting any sleeping accommodation on this boat. You certainly handled the boat well and the kids faces says they really enjoyed the ride.

[@robashton8606]

Apparently there was a boat in this video? I was a bit distracted for some reason.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Fine, Fun day boat. Too nice for fishing from.

[@troyezell5841]

Beautiful boat and a great video!

[@PhilbyFavourites]

I just realised I've saved myself a large fortune! I'm the proud owner of a 2002 Nimbus Nova 26, walk around, two berth, separate heads, etc. And the big old KAD44 just sips diesel. But if I ever need (could afford...) the upgrade I certainly know who to ask for advice.

[@erinrosehallett]

What is it with Chris-Craft boats that make me smile so much, well until I see the prices...... Great video again as usual by the way 👍

[@FSEVENMAN]

Finally something more my style... Great video thanks for posting.

[@losttribe3001]

The well is for live bait for fishing...or a fresh sashimi keeper well if you’re not catching anything. Great review as always!

[@AndyGraceMedia]

That is just gorgeous, stunning little cabin/loo in there too, although you'd need to be pretty friendly with your guests! 44kts and then some - just hammering. Overall, top class that one.

[@Soldan2905]

Extremely practical boat - Very nice finish on her. Bit pricey for a 34', but you can clearly tell where the money goes. I would love for you to be able to review a Fjord, like the 38 on her portside. They have a real superyacht tender look to them. Keep up the great work, Nick!

[@chrisdresen4823]

Great small boat but what I wouldn't give to see the layout of those two mega yachts!

[@eyesofisabelofficial]

Great fun, especially for those cliff dwellers who may have rented villas close to the sea but realised they where not actually experiencing it. Also, give the GoPro suction mount a try, it'll free up your hands in those speed turns you do in many test videos.

[@liamgale3664]

Great video, awesome boat!

[@wilson_law]

Oh wow, that hidden cabin is so nice.

[@davidgriffiths4844]

... and the boat is pretty gorgeous too! Boat? What boat? ROFL!

[@yonatanbenavraham6598]

I would buy it but only if the stunning blond comes along with it, LOL. It seems, like a, nice fun boat with lots of uses.

[@rabbc007]

Stunning blonde? He has dark/grey hair

[@crazyjay7676]

I wonder why she was laughing so much

[@LoudValves]

@@crazyjay7676 maybe because she hadn't had a captain at the helm with 40 years exp :P

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

@@crazyjay7676 it's all about the ride

[@kokomo9764]

who is she? Stunning

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Wow thats a shifter. Loved the 'Betsy Ross' flag. Built for speed and not necessarily comfort in choppy conditions. Very nice thanks :)

[@fumanchu7]

Me: Never gave owning a small boat a thought Aquaholic: Here's me test driving a Chris-Craft Catalina 34 Me: Now I want to own a small boat

[@Mr2005BUSA]

He does do excellent reviews.

[@yamahonkawazuki]

me: wheres mine lol. always loved chris craft

[@PhilbyFavourites]

@Fu Manchu: Too late, you're hooked!! Although as an international supervillain (I admit I had to Google it, not the Mongolian Emperor I originally thought) surely your sights should be set higher. At the very least one of the Royal Navy's P2000 Archer Class Patrol Vessels. 21m LOA so ideal for the up and coming villain and international piracy - I hear there's money to be made in that. Young Mr Burnham - a challenge if ever there was one. A 15 minute review of the Solent via P2000; Dasher, Smiter etc....

[@gazgaffa8437]

Mate I am of the exact same thought, I’ve actually been looking at old yachts, there’s some decent looking ones cheap enough, boat I have only ever been on a canoe, I went to Ireland on a ferry once as well, I would certainly end up dead but watching these KZbin videos were people are doing it, surely I can hahahahaha

[@mobstamaniac]

34 feet is not a small boat at all, in person that's bloody huge.

[@kranson8514]

Mmmmmmm shiny, not sure I would have any anglers past the transom think I would flip seeing fish slime or guts over those seats. Really nice day boat, but alot of dough though for the pleasure 😞 What were boats either side they were also interesting looking beasts 😉👍

[@DIY-DaddyO]

Nice boat, but for the same money you're in Windy 37 territory, which has a separate heads, which is nice.

[@mrspartan671]

For a first small yacht, I think this would be great!

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Nice boat, lovely scenery.

[@Spreadie]

The cabin was quite a surprise - day boats always seem a little limited to me, despite the obvious enjoyment, but this has that extra facet lending greater appeal.

[@muckshifter]

... and Daddy had, fun fun fun all the day! That boat will be my chase boat (tender) ;-)

[@darrenhudson5503]

Great stuff..really hooked on this channel..look.forward to each new vid

[@mygooglebot]

what a fantastic boat, I want one

[@billylallen2662]

Yes, that is a live well, for fishing with live bait.

[@TheSuprahuman]

Never mind the coast line Nick, you got a beautiful lady next to you, who cares about coastlines :) great little boat, I bet it scoots. Cheers

[@CampervanJon]

Fantastic Boat and beautiful co-pilot I will take both of them. On a sensible note would those Fjord Boats be closer to my price range by any chance

[@chriseifert6213]

I must say excellent and fitting music choice as well as nice vidoegraphy

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you liked it

[@huijskes]

Wooow cool Nick love it 😃👍

[@alejandroalvarez29]

I’d like to see a tour of that Fjord to the left!

[@daz6546]

I was with you all the way up to when you took it for a spin.... and then I completely lost you, where did the boat go?

[@markrussell4449]

Its a tough job (blasting about the med in a sports boat) but someone's got to do it...

[@riderZ873]

Love this!! more center consoles please :)

[@GrooveFederation]

great video & the accommodation quarters below the deck is amazing, you'd never think it was there if you didn't know about it

[@pogump]

Another very nice video from you Nick, but probably the price tag is out of my range,but “window shopping” is free.....

[@Andy-rc6fg]

Awesome boat!

[@a9503128]

As the saying goes, you don’t **** where you sleep 💤

[@KyleDesharnais]

You forgot another **

[@vanjosh7763]

Love the design except for one part, the toilet. Every time someone takes a dump on that the room will smell, and the ventilation will make it difficult to get rid of the smell. Even worse if someone ate some spicy dish before going on board that magnificent Yacht. All I could ask is some kind of fan to vent out the smell inside. Still, and excellent tour as always.

[@davidstiglitz4341]

This is really good and a bargain compared to the 35 GT. Love it.

[@ThierryPasteur]

Nice video, as usual :) But I spotted something very nice in your video. On the port side of the Chris-Craft was a Fjord. Any chance we see a yacht tour on one of their boats in the future?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'll see what I can do.

[@CharleyGeorge]

I love your videos and great access. I just wanted to mention the thumb nail for this video looks like a Pixar Cars character. It looks like the heads of the people are the eyes and the seat is the tongue and the top over the seat is the brim of a hat. I had to do a double take when I first looked at it. No big deal but I wanted to mention it is rather funny to me.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Okay, now I can't stop seeing that..! :D

[@ste45]

That's a beauty

[@scorns60]

Plan: marry a rich widow = get a Chris craft! It’s the only way I would be able to get one.

[@deanmacka4975]

GREAT STUFF

[@theresnobodyhere5778]

Good if you can afford it chriscraft are at the top of the league for that type of boat and they hold there value through time, oh and I would not have stinky fish allowed on there,just go to the fish an chipshop

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

Excellent video. When you were on the princess 72 i envied you, on this video i am jealous of you 😊😊😊

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Great video! BUT, It's a nice enough thing, and a 'Chris Craft', but I'm not seeing £400k there?

[@kevindehinkelai7464]

Glad to see your 2 up with the Missus and the mistress by your side, she looked like she was enjoying it too, did she give you a tour of the cabin with the door closed..😉🐴

[@vattboats]

Nice one!

[@The_Real_Zaineman]

Na...Na.....NICK ! ! I'M IN THE LA....LA.....LA .... LOO .... Slow Duh....duh...duh... DOWN ! ! ... NICK ! ! ! !

[@Bedrock1966]

compact and bijoux! just no number 2's

[@Coins2Collect]

Hey.... what are trim tabs? Love the videos

[@AQUAHOLIC]

They adjust side to side trim to level the boat if needed.

[@colintraveller]

I guess the upholstery is waterproof ???? , How deep can the anchor go , Max distance on a full tank

[@Mr11ESSE111]

for this price you can almost buy some bigger used speedboat and smaller "yacht" something around mangusta 108, 92 and similar

[@joeyturtles5896]

Beautiful boat, however the one in the video is the 30 Catalina not the 34. I have a 34 Catalina with trip 300’s. beautiful boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Chris-Craft seem fairly convinced it's a 34 - they've fitted a badge on the dash that says so! 2:25 mins in.

[@Mr2005BUSA]

Hmm. My friend has a 34 Chris-Craft Catalina but its all wood and really, really old. I also know someone with an old Chris-Craft Comander.

[@Mr2005BUSA]

Boating isnt what it used to be. At its peak we had over 200 antique boats register for WAMBO. This year we had 2. Went from a boat focused show to a car focused show. Canadas economy is in the crapper.

[@Kennethah81]

Not exactly my cup of tea, but a great looking boat nonetheless. The detailing and performance of Chris Craft definitely make it a up-scale brand. I imagine this would be a great chase-boat for a super-yacht!

[@daniellewis2499]

Hey genius. The kill switch cord clips on to shorts or a pair of swim trunks. Not around your entire leg.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You can if you want to. But most people just wrap it around their leg.

[@2011metalmaniac]

does the power for the navigation and lights etc come from the outboards or do these boats have a battery on board or something?

[@phdj4791]

Last! Missed first spot again :-( But great video @AQUAHOLIC !

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks! :)

[@Irishandtired]

I've got a bad back. The last time I went 44 knots on a boat, it had chairs with gas springs to compensate. I can't take that speed on the water sitting down. Did this boat have rigid chairs at the helm?

[@robinfarman]

Catalina 34 or Saxdor 200, hmm choices choices

[@alibee1978]

I really ought to not watch this during a gloomy work day 😂. Great vid as always 👍🏻👌🏻

[@Matteo-qr8ni]

Boat prices are getting ridiculous. Great boat but i couldnt justify spending that much that on something i cant live aboard

[@briansilver6196]

Now that is one mean boat ,stunning to say the least ,if I sold my house I still wouldn't have enough money to buy it ,oh well il stick to my 17ft Wilson flyer ,lol where did I go wrong ,oh ye I'm a welder never mind ,in another life maybe

[@totallypixelated]

Just the thing for Florida man to stuff the bow at Haulover 😂

[@davidjohnrees]

How rude not to introduce us to your co-pilot. ;)

[@Pcash246]

Who is the lady, she’s bloody gorgeous?

[@paulchambers6657]

Aaaargh not another one I want, I’ll have to move house now to get a bigger mooring 😀

[@yamahonkawazuki]

aquaholic knows his boats, so a guess made by him is probably correct.

[@Eric-469]

Anyone know what kind of boat was off the port side?
