£4,200,000 Superyacht Tour : Princess Y85

[@lipadier]

The way you walk through the boat in one big uncut move really gives the size and feel of the layout. - Great work.

[@minsyoo]

yes! other boat tours on youtube... all these "cool glamour shots" and so many cuts, yes it looks cool but it's a terrible way to actually tour the boat.

[@bobuncle8704]

Nick is the king of boat tours. He sets the bar for sure. Everything is just so natural with him. There is the odd boat he hasn’t done, and it is so painful to watch

[@kevku2010]

It's not technically uncut... He just cuts it really well and maintains the "oohh come over here and look at this" personal tour flow without skipping here and there and over stuff. I love it.

[@edaneo11]

My only disappointment with this yacht is you do not have direct connect helm to the top deck

[@whotf888]

This is why he has many more subscribers than most, if not all other yacht/ boat reviewers

[@charliepeck6443]

As a Marine Engineer Apprentice for princess I can tell you guys its way better in person. Its stunning to work with these boats.

[@yavin99]

I went to school for diesel marine tech and used to work on yachts but they didn't really pay as well as you might think so I quit that work and now work on Toyotas.

[@franciscoc345]

As an owner, I can tell you its worth the price. That's what I would say if I owned this yacht. Lol.

[@fumanchu7]

This is probably my second favorite yacht you've featured on the channel so far. Your pathing through the boats while presenting them is outstanding. It gives a great feel for what living on the boats would be like.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind, thanks!

[@wingcommanderwalton3820]

Fu Manchu what’s your favourite then?

[@fumanchu7]

@@wingcommanderwalton3820 The Sunseeker 131.

[@wingcommanderwalton3820]

Fu Manchu Great choice mr Manchu. You certainly have good (and very expensive) taste. Pershing 90 for me.... less crew required!

[@fumanchu7]

Hey, if I’m going to dream, I’m dreaming big. While I like the thought of self-piloting a small boat around, I was born, raised, and still live in a desert. Parking a boat in a crowded marina would probably look like a game of bumper cars with me at the helm.

[@TheSuprahuman]

I'm running out of superlatives when it comes to Princess yachts, another beauty. Cheers Nick

[@kranson8514]

Don't we all 😉

[@baddazzgarage2953]

Yes princess build beautiful vessels but dont forget ferritti and sanlorenzo and riva! The riva 90argo the ferritti 780 and 850 and sanlorenzo sl78 and sl86 all stunning machines! This y85 really is a masterpiece in style but mainly simplicity! Its not overcrowded with furniture and bars ect and nice big u shape saloon seating! not all this rounded jelly bean shaped rubbish azimut use that looks fancy but when you sit in it ahh not so comfy! Princess are the king of simplicity and style! My favorite yacht at the moment is the ferritti 780 but this is definitely second! Masterpiece! Happy sailing all 🛥⚓

[@santisizable]

Nobody builds luxury like the brits. Top boat for the money. Great review as usual.

[@paulogrinke7020]

Great tour. Princess did a real good job not only in the design but also the layout. Have to admit, couldn't find any fault or something that I would change. If I had won the lottery, I'd take her just the way she is. Great work Princess. Great video Nick.

[@nickwebb9290]

Having watched today’s video of the sea trial I just had to revisit this tour of the Y85. What a beauty 👍

[@andrewgriffin8380]

[@michaelschneider3446]

That the best yacht in that size up to 30m available yet. Amazing design

[@jays9211]

For now, the upcoming sunseeker 87 is gonna give it a run for the money

[@asanido]

I enjoy his videos because he understands the skills of the woodworking in something as simple as those curves. Very informative and appreciative of the builders' skills.

[@garethchild]

The Pininfarina input works so well - adding a touch of art to the craftsmanship to the boat. But it really all boils down to one thing for me: I want a Seabob.

[@lambodriver6983]

OMG I just love the styling of this yacht! I hope that Princess come out with an updated styling package for the Y78 as well. Especially with the 2 tone painted exterior cabinetry. You have a great job reviewing all these fabulous toys.

[@chriswellstead776]

The boats just keep getting more impressive, this Princess is particularly nice having that very racy look. Another very informative video. Thanks Nick.

[@catalanluke5315]

Love the fact its a BIG boat but just on that line that it doesnt overly need crew! Having said that, the crew mess is decent and light! Always like to see the crew have room! Gorgeous boat, lots of outdoor space and the bedrooms are lovely.....as always, decent choice for a boat tour! Keep it up man!! Love it!

[@The_Real_Zaineman]

I'm with Catalan, I also like to see the crew have enough room. What a beautiful yacht. I just love yachts that can be driven from the fly bridge no matter what the size.

[@strider6920]

I really like Princess yachts. They don’t mess around when it comes to design, decor, functionality and practicality. They are always sleek and elegant and give you everything you would need. This yacht is no exception. It is just stunning all round. I love your POV tours as we see it almost from your own eyes and really get the feeling we are moving around the boat with you. Thank you so much for the wonderful tour !

[@sbeve6559]

Stunning! It's amazing how they managed to make it sleek and modern, yet cozy and comfortable. Fantastic design!

[@meatblade3490]

I've commented a couple times on your videos. They're rather excellent. I get as excited for a new video of yours as I used to from Top Gear. Different goals, but the quality and quantity of your knowledge is the same as any of those men with cars. You come across as having a lot of passion and integrity and just genuinely are as thrilled to be touring these yachts as your audience is to be there with yah. Thanks for sharing one of your passions. I make sure to not miss any video you make. Properly good content, this is.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's really kind of you to say so, thank you :)

[@voxmortis5636]

Even though I dont like motor yachts to much, this one astounded me in many ways. The woodworking and the overall organic design were so extraordinarily beautiful. Thanks for showing this. I really appreciate your attention to detail in your Yacht Tours, and I'd really love to see some more sailing yachts or even sailing superyachts.

[@paulgolding1009]

Nick your delivery really makes these videos great cause you get a sense of size of these yachts and how well built they are.

[@joecotter9014]

Princess are getting better and better - an absolute beauty of a yacht. Great vid once again Nick!

[@blitzenJunior]

Amazing boat! I'd love to take a ride with that one! Well done filming, Aquaholic!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you :)

[@breakingtoast2255]

id love to own it

[@matthewmartin1970]

What a boat. Just beautiful in every way. Massive credit to you Nick, the way you film these tours is great. On some other channels I won't mention I get motion sickness watching but not with your videography. Bravo sir.

[@treylennon4858]

This has got to be my favorite layout for a yacht of this size! Thanks for the great video Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like it!

[@johnpeel6601]

I thought the Y78 was the ultimate yacht for me but this Princess Y85 is outstanding in its design in part due to the influences of Pininfarina but remembering that Princess has produced some beautifully refined yachts in the past. This boat is stunning. I have said before of a Princess that I would be happy to sleep in the engine room for a week just to admire its complexity, machinery, considered layout and tidy arrangement but on this occasion I would sleep anywhere on this one including the day heads. It is all so meticulously designed including the crew accommodation which in my view is equally important. What a breath-taking vision and thank you, Nick, for another brilliant comprehensive video.

[@howardhegg5446]

Nick , You have gone way over the Top Showing all of us this Beautiful , Spectacular. Yacht . I really love the way you bring out all the Princess spectacular designs as if nobody does it quite like Princess does it . Nick you should be a Salesman for Princess Yachts .I think Princess probably knows that too .Nick is Princess Yachts a British company. ? Because it should be . I have been to England a half dozen times . My First time i started from Edinburgh down to the Glen Eagles hotel then to Grasmere and on to London . I happen to like British Airways too .By the way this is a Fair price for a 85 foot Princess Yacht with a Crew cabin for Three and a fridge ana microwave wit a little seeting area with a table .

[@andersbostrom4362]

So classy. It seems to me Princess has taken luxury finish to another level with this one.

[@howardhegg5446]

Hi again Nick my English chap. ! Its always Good to watch you Demonstrat this 85 footer again . You are never Dull .

[@tbucknor]

Ciao bella! If this is the way Princess is going, they are headed in the right direction. Thanx for the excellent tour Aquaholic!

[@dondelchulia3189]

Ngl this is the dream boat. Owner operable, or crew. Great size, layout, features. Princess seems pricey, but I see why it’s a channel favorite

[@shadowcat779]

This boat is absolutly amazing Nick. I love all you videos. You are probably 1 of the best yacht tour people

[@macdchef]

Yet again ... great independent review. Well done A

[@CryMeARiver63]

My dream yacht...❤ . I absolutely adore Princess Yachts . Everything about them is magnificent and beautiful.

[@NicholasEJones]

That is just a stunning boat, Princess have produced a boat that take style to another level! great tour Nick.

[@vdhazer]

For a yacht costing less than half a million, this one is a beauty. Very impressive model.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It would indeed be if it were less than half a million. Sadly, I fear you've left a 0 off...

[@vdhazer]

@@AQUAHOLIC Oh, I'm very sorry. I've watched a couple of your videos, so I've got them all mixed up. Haha

[@ruschman96]

That boat is utterly stunning. Love it. Thank you for showing it to us.

[@patrickbrookings]

Wowsie!!! Such beautiful lines and styling! I am also a big car/racing fan, and I can certainly see the Pininfarina influence on this beautiful boat, amazing!

[@AndyGraceMedia]

OK for me I think this is the most perfect yacht I've seen. Sure the 120ft, 130ft++ are wildly impressive, but "keep dreaming" territory. This is almost affordable and you're right, it could be run with just one multi-skilled Au Pair. The hot-tub option on the flybridge however is a must! Thanks for another superb tour.

[@YannMar]

3:10 This time you nailed it. I’m proud of you👍

Princess is the Bentley of yachts; I love the wood work in these boats!

[@lajucb]

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

What a beautifully designed boat. The lines just flow and swish into the next area. I would be hard pushed to go outside and enjoy the benefits of such a well finished boat. A truly stunning boat. As always thank you for sharing this video and damn, you have a hard job.

[@Kennethah81]

Another amazing walkthrough Nick! Way too often such a high emphasis on design leads to compromises or outright stupidity when it comes to the more practical aspects. It looks like they really managed to avoid that trap and hit a really well thought out blend of design and practicality on this one! :)

[@olivergriffiths4445]

Favourite boat u have ever shown on this channel. Absolutely gorgeous!

[@gorywill677]

Great tour. Saw it elsewhere and immediately went to Aquaholic to see if you had the typical all access tour. Thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@blewyd]

I'm a huge fan of the interior of this yacht. Love the glossy wood and still looks modern.

[@JimmyTRUELOVE]

4.2m seems like great value to me! Interiors much more to my taste. One of my favourite vessels you've shown so far... and not completely out of reach price wise either! Thanks Nick.

[@jimmcgarry8466]

You're about the best tour host I've ever watched. I like seeing the crew areas which you do !! Thank you

You need a Netflix or Hulu deal. Never watched a boat video in my life watched one of yours and hooked

[@pogump]

I agree with the previous comments about the way you do all your videos Nick,(and I saw some paintings by Rubens in my fantasy)the many curves in and on this boat reminded me about the soft curves of the many women that Rubens painted during his life. Very appealing design of this boat,in every way. Cheers. :) :)

On behalf of everyone, congratulations on pronouncing Miele correctly. We're all behind you, it's been a long, hard struggle, but eventually we got there. Well done! Another great video, love the positivity, never a harsh word just for the sake of it, clearly knowledgeable and it comes across that you love what you're doing. Always charmed when the videos come out. Very much look forward to them and no wonder the subscription base is climbing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you Peter! Now, about my pronunciation of Naim audio...

Anothe lovely yacht. I just love how happy you sound when saying Miele after everyone corrected you on getting it wrong all those times :D

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sometimes I say it even if the appliance is a Hotpoint! :D

[@AndrewJens]

That would have to be the nicest styling I've seen in a boat in your videos. And only 4,190,000 above my price point … which is considerably less than some of the superyachts on your channel. Thankyou for your reviews.

[@ed4152]

Of all the boats you review its always Princess that is a cut above. Style, craftsmanship , practically and layout. such great boat builders. For instance that remark about the woodwork in stateroom. You dont get people with those sorts skills anymore. Shes a beauty. bit big for a couple, but with 2 crew. if only....if only...

[@lgriestra]

Beautiful yacht. Distributions and sizes are perfect; day WC close to the wheel, with a dinette to the left close nest to the kitchen, four screens. Although there is an issue related to design and demographics, but that is something I only share with my clients. Brits are the best in what I call "modern classic" (but not only this style) with great global manufacturers been Princess one of the top. I think you are the first to start the video from another boat, not an easy task. Great idea. Great video.

[@MrSamsmithmard]

only you are able to give us a good look at the exterior of a super yacht from the deck of a super yacht love this channel

[@andygillett3165]

Princess make simply incredible boats without being ostentatious. If only I had the loose change to buy one!

[@papottovincent]

Smashing job Nick, throughly enjoy your one take walk throughs of the boat. You go slow and tick all the boxes. Keep up the good work!

[@Harko-]

Thanks Nick, another great tour! Going by your voice over and the comments, this clearly proves that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I wouldn’t say it’s an ugly yacht, but it’s not my cup of tea, it’s a bit over designed. For me it feels a bit like a designer that could not stop designing, adding more and more details. Amazing quality and a great layout, that I have to admit.

[@gingergames7623]

I had a tour of a y85 at the dusseldorf boat show. Stunning boat!!

Hi Nick. Just realised this is priced September 2019 £4.2 million, an early 2021 same yacht £9.25 million. Still love it though. Great walkthrough Thanks 😊

[@pf2264]

Nick I've watched and enjoyed a fair few of your excellent boat reviews now but this one takes the biscuit, stunning boat, definately my No.1 that you've toured, the detail and style is gorgeous, whilst it's still very much lottery win territory it beats many more expensive boats you've featured, in my eyes at least! Thanks as ever for another excellent video.

[@RichieRouge206]

Definitely my favourite yacht channel - you are down to earth and explain the boats well. Great video and beautiful boat 😍 possibly my favourite yet

[@drloppy]

This is the first boat I’ve seen where I’ve loved the use of gloss wood. I always thought I’d spec a boat with the matte finished wood, but this has made me reconsider. I think because there isn’t much of it, so where it’s used it absolutely sings!! An example is in the galley where not all the cupboards are in the gloss wood, there some white ones too. Very, very classy. Looking forward to your S10 video to compare :-) Thanks again for a great video, 👏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

S10 is coming!

[@EdwinBlackfly]

Princess really stands out from the competition with the design and furniture on this one... Impressive!

[@calebrw]

Love the redundant crew exit routes. Also good for extra storage. I'm sure their is a technical or structural reason for it, but it would be nice to see the v-berth cabins feature more than portholes when bathrooms elsewhere have the same sizes windows as some houses. Excellent video as always.

[@maximusromptimus5798]

[@willlowbridge350]

Last week at Southampton boat show I was lucky enough to go on board the sister ship to this Y85. I missed much of the details you raised on this video and I was onboard it!. The dark gloss wood finish on this boat gets my vote it was a matt finish here at the UK show. Not a fan of the light gloss wood as seen on the cabins of Sunseekers of the late 90’s. But dark gloss looks good on this high end vessel. Looking on youtube there is a tour of a dark blue hull Y85 in Germany by possibly a sales representative and the difference is night and day to an Aquaholic tour as you add so much more enthusiasm for the big and small details. Your journalistic skills make your viewers feel much more onboard than just a walk and a talk around. Great work, thank you.

[@thomastirolflorida5363]

sure hope, these boat builders are paying you well for your walk through videos. Great presenter, with a pleasant voice and personality...things that cant be acquired.

[@pogump]

Well Nick, another fantastic boat in a very nice video from you, but I sit here with at least one problem,regarding “my crew” a captain yes, a stewardess yes,and one person dedicated to keep all the glossy surfaces shiny and spotless. But other then that I could see myself walking around in that very nice boat. Cheers.

[@briankovacevich7]

Absolutely stunning boat! From the materials, to the colors and the curves, very stylish indeed. We don't have many Princess boats in our area (Seattle), but I hope we'll get more in the future.

Naughty Nick strikes again, we probably all look at the price tag of these yatchs and say how an earth can they justify that, this is why I love Princess yatchs they just put so much detail into the design and layout, materials and all made in house. If this interests you could spend quite some time appreciating every part of this yatch because those gorgeous features. Whether one day I could ever afford one is another thing 😞but never say never its a nice dream none the less. Thanks Nick😉👍👍👍

I think you meant NAIM Audio, Nick. I have only heard it pronounced as N-AIM. I met the founder Paul Vereker at a Naim dealership in N Clark Street, Chicago in 1993. Naim Audio has since been sold to the group that owns Focal Speakers. In the 70s and 80s, the quintessential British highend hifi system was defined by a Linn Sondek LP12, Naim pre-power amps, Linn Isobarik loudspeakers. Naim have now moved into boats and cars. Hope they keep your feet tapping whilst you are attempting to pilot the vessel.
