I really don't know what to think about this one. So many things I like and ond the other hand as many ones I dislike. But overall super interesting to see such a completly new and different approach to a yacht design! And great video as always (even without Miele appliences)!

[@mothdoc]

I know where you are coming from. Two things for me are the fly bridge doesn't have a bar, Jacuzzi and sun pads and the master cabin was very dark ~ great fro sleeping but not for chilling or doing a bit of work.

[@kokomo9764]

Same here. I don't know what to think. The galley was to small. I didn't go wow one time. Different layout but not special.

[@darthkek1953]

@@kokomo9764 There is an option where the galley is down, making it larger and out of the way, but you lose one of the twin cabins. What it's REALLY missing is a Kenyon BBQ grill.

[@jasonmichaels8204]

Yeah it was the crew cabins for me, they literally have no privacy at all.

[@Ie_Shima]

The galley is smaller than a closet bathroom. This a 79ft boat, but nearly all of that space is dedicated to what, five or six different seating areas? What they should do is blow out the fore wall of the galley where the stove/fridge/freezer is and extend it about five or six feet further into that sitting room, and throw in an island counter. Also, add some sliding doors or windows to the dining area so it can be enclosed on a bad weather day. Finally, that crew cabin isn't a cabin, it's just a bunkbed shoved down a flight of stairs. This doesn't look or feel like a yacht, it's a floating mcmansion.

[@mervharris5183]

MS, I will be taking him or if necessary drag him. Insist he gets an introducers fee and then everyone will walk away happy. Spoken to a few brokers in last month, but happier to get Nick as my advocate I think.

[@robertstancer4469]

....i'm not, have you seen his consultancy fees?......

[@keithsnider8995]

Great video. I saw this boat in another users video but the music they used sucked so bad I didn't watch past them walking on board. Your narration makes a huge difference and the videos much more watchable.

[@andreamchutchon4761]

The galley seems so small to cater for 8 people and 2 crew....... I found the layout a bit confusing. BUT I do like a central helm. Shame about the engine for me it's usually the best part of your videos. Thanks for the tour and your enthusiasm.

[@colepdx187]

I was disappointed about the engine room as well. Always my favorite part.

[@idanceforpennies281]

I like the engine room the best too. A boat is a giant machine and it's nothing without engines, generators and other systems.

[@breakingtoast2255]

that boat would go great on Sydney harbour there is a lot of deck space

[@HansenSWE]

You'd be surprised how much noodles one can make with just one normal kitchen stove. And quickly too, if you pick the 3 minute ones!

[@rykehuss3435]

I wouldnt wanna cook there even if it was just for 1 person.

[@captainaj4727]

Great tour as usual, Nick. I think it's a great "mini-super-yacht" creating expectations. Where I think it falls short is in two areas. 1) Galley - not big enough for this caliber of boat for either owner-operator, dockside catering or a chef. 2) Crew - The boat lends a feel for some extended cruising and the crew is good for a captain/spouse at best. I also think that a happy crew is essential. A wet head? That idea should be banned.

[@tundramonkey]

Seemed like the hosting staff were following him around like a suspected shoplifter.

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Absolutely Brilliant and Stunning attention to detail. The best I’ve seen so far this year. Gorgeous. 👍🏻

[@GrimmmReaperz]

That Galley is utterly dire. It lets the whole yacht down. It’s woeful.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

I really like these layouts with the pilot house far forward allowing for the split level.The Tardis effect was HUGE in this cavernous boat, & we didn't even see the engine room!

[@alannoakes5204]

Absolutely love all you yacht tours. From the smallest to the biggest you make it a joy to watch. Keep on doing what you're doing, I shall keep on watching

[@ianbrocklebank3258]

This has a real WOW factor,nice galley and ingenious use of space,great finish throughout,sturdy AND stylish..a winning combination.

[@RJE48]

I find it fascinating looking around these boats and looking at how it's been designed along with management of the space. This is the one I would go for, it is really well done in regards to layout, and best use of space.

[@steve-marsh]

Lovely tour of a lovely boat, but those suspicious guys following you around and not allowing engine access would put me off big style! :) Well done for getting the tour done Nick!

[@DG-jq7il]

Utterly gorgeous, I love the styling and layout. Imagine cruising down the ICW or the Med in this amazing vessel? Incredible

[@arekpetrosian4965]

This boat really grabbed my attention...I think I'm in love! Love the layout, and the master suite is very, very nice. Great video as usual, Nick! Thanks SO much!!

[@donmorelock4054]

Honestly didn't think I could ever be interested in a sub 80ft yacht, but I am so impressed and will keep an eye on this one. Great video thank you for doing the tour on this yacht, i'm stunned how much room they squeezed out of this new layout.

[@jameshamilton5462]

This yacht is outstanding.Imagine yourself being on it and cover the helm you wouldn't even know you were on a yacht.This is so home like.If you had a yacht like this Nick would be your best friend and think of the Ladies asking you for a nice little weekend adventure.Great representation Aquaholic.Splendid, Brilliant, and Well Done Sir.This is museum material.A work of ART.

[@stn0920]

Great tour as always. For some reason I really like this boat . It's so different, yet it somehow works!

[@jonathangould1255]

Wow. What a great use of the space. Lovely design felt huge considering the length.

[@joseantoniolago5857]

Maybe because I do all the cooking in my house, really hated that galley, too dark and claustrophobic for my taste, but really like the rest of that boat.

[@arcadiayachts5060]

STAY TUNED PLEASE :-)

[@jackmorgan1677]

I don't like the light effects in the lounge, caused by the roof solar panels. Those shimmering lights would go on your brain eventually...

[@peterlovett5841]

Have a look at the constructors web site - they show an optional open galley version of this vessel.

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. So unusual. Finally a yacht with integrated solar in the glass roof. Lots of mezzanine levels and a very classy interior. Distinctive exterior lines. 24mtr Love it.

[@9VARZ]

Beautiful interiors and a proper, modern design that takes us into the 21st Century. Like many others, the gripe is probably that galley, which looks highly impractical. Great job showing us around, Nick!

[@rolfwilliachenbach205]

Ach,endschuldigung !! Wieder einmal eine sehr schöne Führung und Info. Vielen Dank and Thank You Mr. Aquaholic

[@xrplover2785]

Very interesting layout. Loved the accommodation and the social areas but my heart still lies with the Sirena 88!! Thanks

[@garethchild]

Quite an unusual boat there, Nick. Definitely not one for high speed blasts down to the Balearics for all night clubbing; more suited for a lazy cruise across the Ligurian Sea in search of the perfect anchor. Can’t argue with that range, either.

[@bitcoinmaxi9998]

I love how the yacht brokers think they are the BEES KNEES whilst videos like THIS will be the more than likely improve the yachts SEO in terms of google search! Give it a few years and they will not only be PAYING accounts like Aquaholic but giving them free reign on the yachts! Good work Nick

[@debbiejudd6512]

[@mr4kids.866]

Odd looking yacht from the outside but absolutely beautiful inside! I think this is the best layout for a yacht I have ever seen!

I'm still scratching my head at how many boats are under 1 darn roof. Really need to get out of my small town , time for a 'holiday'.

[@jwebb3337]

Very interesting and unusual. I like the front half of it. Thank you for the tour!

[@Dunstire]

That really is a classy boat and i love that forward helm position.Very nice indeed

[@Squirel]

Awesome to see something really different. I think that it makes perfect sense to have the helm at close to the bow as possible, apart from anything else it ensures near perfect visibility in the direction of most travel. Most sizable vessels have controls to the sides or at the stern to enable stern to berthing so the location of the main helm is incidental in that regard. This boat still has a nice seating area forward of the helm but the most has been made of the "extra" space behind the helm. Some very refreshing ideas here.

[@kevinbanham2429]

Still rewatching old videos lol. Interesting boat lots to like top marks for me is the look of the solar panels on the ceiling from the inside looks great IMO.

[@nabilbasta2061]

Amazing Genius Design Piece Of Art Thank You Nick For Wonderful Tour .

[@jorvikoutdoors]

Lovely little boat, cheers for taking us round her

[@cestusfr]

Such a fantastic layout!

[@davidhetfield6]

I love it! I see what they've done, take the rather useful front sunbathing area away to give space for a more forward interior space, and thus creating a massive outdoor area in the back. Really clever! I do agree with some that the galley is a little underwhelming...

[@8MoonsOfJupiter]

Wow!! That really is a fantastic layout; I especially liked the main saloon as it felt so spacious (not to mention luxurious!) and that back deck with the open dining area. The cabins, too, looked like something out a 6-star hotel. All in all, a very impressive package. Such a shame we didn't get to see the engine room! Thanx for uploading!

[@paulkelly7896]

Love how they ‘followed’ you around during filming, lol that means you were doing a good job

[@mrpaulholton89]

Baffled with this one, things I very much like but others that are so different, I love the concept of a new layout, and I think it works, but becuase its change, and dramatic, maybe its hard to get used to, overal I do think the yacht will be popular as it breaks the normal.....Really love the interior, cabins are amazing, modern, fresh, almost feels like a mansion on water. Thanks Nick

[@awatt1404]

Amazing colours and finishes. Looks very seaworthy. Lower power with more range would be my preference, as always, but I have to say, I do like this one. Not sure about that outdoor dining table. Not great at high latitudes, but then this isn’t really an explorer vessel methinks. Nice little ship. As always a great, great tour!

[@rykehuss3435]

Any thoughts on the miniscule galley?

[@ChadTownsend]

Rykehuss that did cross my mind. But forgot to mention. If there were a larger fridge and storage for longer trips it would be a bonus. Good call. in an explorer style ship I’d even want a big office. I work from home. I’d sacrifice more lounge space for that

[@rykehuss3435]

An explorer type full displacement boat, you would be better off looking at Nordhavn or Bering yachts. Not these floating lounge bars lol. For example, the Bering 80 has a massive office behind the helmstation beringyachts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bering-80-Library.jpg Theyre also built for actual passage making, in any weather. And here's Bering 80 galley, for comparison to the Sherpa. beringyachts.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Bering-80-Galley1.jpg Dont think I have to say anything about that lol, the pictures speak for themselves

[@BhaaskarDesai]

I really believe 99% of the crew and caretakers of yachts at a show or otherwise are pretty nice and decent when it comes to displaying/showing it around. I really did not like that guy following Nick around suspiciously as if Nick was going to cause any troubles. His attitude was rude and clearly visible when he was in the master cabin and Nick had to cut the filming and abruptly return to the main deck. When you are at a boat show, people will and most likely, be interested to see everything that is on offer. Great KZbinrs like Nick are people who can advertise a yacht not even the manufacturers would be able to cover and show around so fantastically. Just for this reason alone, I will never be in a positive frame of mind when, and IF ever, I look at Arcadia Yachts. Nonetheless, thank you for the tour Nick~! :) Edit : @ArcadiaYachts : My shower is bigger than your kitchen space.

[@TOM-C.]

Seems like, they combined ideas, good or bad, from a yacht, and a houseboat. Very unusual to say the least. Not for me, but I bet many will love it.

I can't wait for you to tour another Nordhavn.
