£460,000 Yacht Tour : Galeon 425 HTS

[@reyt.5065]

i personally prefer entry-level boats than the superyachts because its so cool how they fit the quality furniture in the interior.

[@Finn-wm2no]

@R A neither will you.

[@GM-yb5yg]

It's safe to say that you and your mother don't get along.

[@MR_BJH]

Also with these huge super yachts you can’t take them out as often - made for enjoyment not sitting around and not getting used.

[@Wildbot34]

Agreed, superyachts are cool but imagine actually having to run one, more crew than actual passengers it seems, like running a small business, nothing leisurely or intimate about it.

[@machiavellian7490]

I’d keep it outside my house and get the sprogs to make sea noises would save on fuel and boat ware

[@MrSparkies]

You know what I like about your videos is that there are no bells n' whistles. Just down to talk about the boat in simple terms, if you use jargon, then you always explain. Quite like this boat, although not sure on the placement of grill.

[@amcconnell6730]

Yes - you'd want a fair wind whistling through the boat to use that grill...

[@TheDarkrelic]

Agree. No endless rant about blah blah blah. Best boat reviewer on YT, by far

[@computerbob06]

As far as I know, Galeon are pretty customisable. They certainly are on their bigger boats - so you should be able to replace the griddle with a TV unit or whatever.

[@gregwilmot5820]

Grill threw me off as well, prefer it to be in the cockpit so I can use it without opening up all of the deck saloon. Prefer the flybridge yachts as they provide more 'outdoor' space on the boat for wetbar and seating, without compromising the integrity of the weather-tight 'indoor' space.

[@danielj5650]

@@TheDarkrelic yachts for sale is also really good

[@oggmonster175]

Would love to hear what you dislike (if anything) about these boats! As a boat owner I think you would have more insight into the negatives that a non-boat owner may not pick up on

[@visionist7]

It's tricky. Unfortunately yard folks get weird about letting a walkthrough happen if they know it's going to be a review. Sadly the only way is to be consistent and treat all boats to a walkthrough tour, even privately owned boats.

Yes but will the glass take a good wave over the bow?

[@boatcube3857]

Favourite boat on the market at the moment + great video.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks! :)

[@bahenbihen]

Really? The lower deck galley is super impractical

[@steve-marsh]

A cosy boat, love the layout, could really see myself living on that! (but then I say that about them all) My dream is always a wee Nordhavn, but I also wonder if having a bit more pace would be handy sometimes? I choice sadly I don't anticipate having to make in real life...

[@BrianBadondee]

Might have done a cheeky speedwatch Nick but that is a stunning boat. And dare i say in the ‘affordable’ range 🤣

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

LOL yup, funny how I see a price tag under a million & start deluding myself.

[@TheDonNicky]

Lovely, clever boat, but at this price I'd expect a separate shower/toilet placing.

[@dulltusk1]

Thank you for helping me find a goal in life. I'm currently working hard to be able to start charter business. I may not ever actually achieve it but wherever I end up I surely will be accomplished!

[@alanpaton694]

Nice manageable sized boat, clever use of space but don't like the bar and griddle being indoors. Imagine if you were cooking fish!

[@landsharkbuckaroo3429]

Really enjoyed the tour Nick! Can’t wait for more videos. Also have to be honest I laughed at “the picture of your loved one” hahah cheers!

[@ThatGuyJunJun]

I almost paused the vid at the 8:33 mark to type that "he forgot the day heads! he forgot the day heads!"....which he did....but got around to it. Silly of me to think that Aquaholic would ever fail in giving a complete and proper tour.

[@chasbodaniels1744]

Nick’s not perfect, but pretty darned close to it.

[@j0r1s_v48]

At 8:05 I was just about to ask what was behind the little hatch but you were just to fast for me ;) great tour!

[@gloriousradio]

I do like what Galeon do with the space in their boats. That's a really smart layout - a lot of boat in a small package. It looks to be good value considering what you get - I especially like the snug, given it's in addition to two full cabins and two heads! And a tender garage to boot! My only reservation is the indoor BBQ, I'm not sure how easy it'll be to get the smell of fish out of the saloon...

[@haydensydney]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about the BBQ - the smell of prawns on the barbie could be vomit inducing in rough weather

[@henrikcarmel1]

“A photo of your loved one by the bed” - priceless 😅😅

[@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ]

Tender garage on a boat of this size with so much lower deck space and good engine room! Very cool boat

[@DG-jq7il]

Live the master, it has the feel of a much larger boat. I was thinking that it's a shame there was only one head, when Nick says "oh I forgot the day head". Thanks Nick

[@zucods]

Great layout for the size. I like the galley aft, really, but would not disqualify this one for this. I think these "sweetspot" size boats are so clever in terms os space utilization.. great tour as usual. Cheers!

[@trafficsnitch3505]

I really like that craft. Very nice finish and layout

[@cocolocot]

Such a huge fan of your videos! I sail on sailing yachts rather than motor yachts, but I’ve always found motor yachts rather exciting! Thanks for putting our great content as per!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@alanmorris8783]

Nice! Not sure of the logic of having the barbecue inside the boat! I’d be a bit non-plus’d to be driving the boat with someone griddling their kippers (ooh-err missus) behind my left ear.

[@bobuncle8704]

My goodness that's a lot of boat for the money. So many features you'd not select on a boat this side. Well Nick, may I call you Nick? Or should it be Sir Nick. Surely you deserve an OBE for your fantastic contribution to the yachting community. 😉 Anyway, another mighty fine job of presenting a boat.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind :)

[@Bob8091]

2:56 Did anyone else clock the foredeck window was coffin-shaped? What a great boat. I like the idea of pod drive. It seems to make more sense than an old fashioned rudder. I am sure there are arguments for and against though.

[@crazyjay7676]

Maybe it is boat for vampires.

[@baddazzgarage2953]

Shaft and props are much much cheaper to repair if you hit the ocean floor and that happens alot! Pods are a fortune to fix! Thats one disadvantage of pods!

[@stefanknorsch]

@@baddazzgarage2953 I agree on maintenance, but if you hit the ground, which should never happen, also the repair of a shaft driven boat will cost a fortune.

A lot of boat for the money. Maybe better with the next size up with the engines but a very nice boat for both inland and sea 👍

[@mostbeautifulfiji4u220]

Which propellers are more efficient, the forward facing or normal back facing?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Theoretically forward facing as they are operating in clear water, but I'd be surprised if there was a huge difference...

[@brettdonovan]

Nick, I assume the seating area on the main deck has a table that lowers to make another bed ... Also, would you consider expanding on the start of this video to create a series of short 'Intro to boats' videos to introduce other things like the pod drives, maybe to include things like radar, autopilots, generators, water makers etc. Maybe also to include maintenance considerations ...

[@smythrich]

nice video as always , great boat for family use, always surprising how much space they can provide below deck. are the pod drives more expensive to maintain than conventional shafts/ props? which is you preferred brand for this size ? thanks

[@AQUAHOLIC]

They are, but they are reckoned to be more efficient and certainly have better packaging, which allows all that space.

[@visionist7]

It's why you don't see pods on the most serious, offshore boats like Nordhavns. They haven't achieved that flawless perceived reliability yet, compared to shaft drives. Edit: plus pods basically means Volvo. Passagemakers go for ultra reliable engines like Cummins

[@r.a.monigold9789]

A proper scale version of a yacht. Utilitarian, with a very tasteful design. Weekends or summer vacations or even a year round "get away" parked at a marina for ready access to ride out a storm at the dock or head out to sea on a whim. Thanks again, Nick, for the tour. BYW, I've noticed that the size, outfitting or price never influences your enthusiasm for boats, as EVERY boat has something cool to offer. How refreshing...

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Absolutely right - if it floats, it's a boat!

[@visionist7]

Engine hatch scuppers need a clean ;-) I really can't get with that hinged glass door and window... I've been totally spoiled by the sliding, drop down James Bond affair on the Sunseekers... nothing else will do

[@JoeyBagOfBagels99]

I enjoyed the view from the underside. The bathroom in the master is doable, I really don't like wet baths, but this works. You did not say what year. Also did this have a tender and a jet ski? What size tender would fit? Amazing how well kept up the cushions are. Really love the back window folding up.

[@filippofassino2625]

I’m really not an expert but I’m getting excited watching these videos about great boat but somehow possible for human beings!... but how much a boat like this may cost per year in maintenance/marina parking/taxes? Can someone give a rough figure? Cheers

[@julian7776]

huge boot for 500k

[@gca259]

In general, why are toilets/showers such a thing on pretty much every boat? How many folk are likely to have an uncontrollable need for a roost at the same time? Are boat owners in such a rush everyone on board must shower simultaneously? Of course, I enjoy every minute of Aquaholic but can't help asking the question ;-)

[@billfurey2860]

Nick, What a great boat....well appointed for the size. Oh and of course your little bag was viewed twice...lol

[@y0uRF4t3]

Do you have access to any nice blue water sailing yachts? I find those interesting, proper live-aboard boats in a fairly small form factor. Like some Amels or something. Would be cool to see you tour a few of those!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@crazyfroggie6546]

you have to be as flexible as a snake to get about in the engine spaces. I take it the saloon BBQ in an option where a TV would go? A decent amount of space for a boat that can be handled by 2 people, with those IPS drives.

[@Jason_Reynolds]

Great video Nick. Really like Galeon boats. Sure, they might not have the extra luxurious finishes and furniture of some manufacturers but what you get is a functional and very stylish boat for a great price. Have you had a look at the models with the drop down sides and the roto-seat in the cockpit? Would love to see you do your take on one of those. The outside spaces on them are amazing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm working on it, stay tuned!

[@gotierepp8601]

[@kurtborkman9472]

Another great video, I was about to go to sleep, then I saw a new one was posted. I don't know, I like the open lay out but I think for that cost and size, I would rather take the princess F45. The wet room toilets are kind of turn off a for me. I get it, they are trying to save space, and I guess you clean the toilet every time you shower, but I don't know if I want to shower where I poop.

[@constantineding8700]

If I was an owner of this boat, I will turn the wet head into a laundry room with wordrobe on the top and washer/dryer under it. Because if I was the guest, I certainly wouldn't want to brush my teeth while standing in a pool of water. Smaller boats under 40 feet should utilize every inch to add more function to it.
