£510,000 Yacht Tour : 2017 Aquastar 430 Aft Cabin

[@stk6mkt]

Really love the master cabin with the separate shower. 👌

[@matrags]

You know you've watched too many of these videos when you start to think of half a million quid as an inexpensive choice.

[@dustylong9187]

Exactly!! When ever I see something under 750,000, im like wow I might be able to afford that if I sold my house and all my Things

[@waynebeck7801]

@@dustylong9187 a 3 bedroom house is 1,000,000 so these boats don’t seem that expensive anymore

[@tinkmarshino]

Boy ain't that the truth!

[@connorb8464]

I love this layout! You get a high-up commanding driving position, 2 big cabins with full headroom, and that whole saloon area with surrounding windows. Every room seems like it has surrounding windows in fact. There’s no shortage of views and natural light. And it still looks really nice from the outside. Great video Nick! Thanks for the tour!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@TestTest-jk3fd]

As someone who dislikes high gloss woods, this boat interior gives me an headache! Lovely boat otherwise Nick!

[@boxhawk5070]

Aquastar did a great job of maximizing living space by not cramming another one or two tiny cabins in. This is a very livable boat.

[@savnet_sinn]

I've become quite keen on the aft-cabin layout ever since you showed off a Broom 450 and I've always wanted to see how others are out together. Thanks for finding more of these elusive boats to show us.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AdamFitton]

I am exactly the same. I can't understand why there aren't more aft-cabin boats. Although this one is very expensive!

[@jenspetersimonsen4235]

... cruising the archipelagos of Terra X in something like this, you say? I'd absolutely fancy that ... someso if I could skip the blue water rides to get there ;-) I love these aft cabin lay-outs - even when there's literally nowhere to fit a tender/toys ;-) Thanks for showing this 1 off, Nick :-)

[@tonybazz53]

@@jenspetersimonsen4235 Me too!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

I suppose a boat like this isn't for everyone - but it's my "dream boat". It really is a dream come to life. I may never be aboard, but it's a pleasure to see that it exists. Thanks, Nick...

[@lightningwingdragon973]

Mibe would be the Fleming 65.

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

It's the perfect boat for when you want to go out in rough seas and get sick, unlike normal people but at least you'll survive.

[@laurirobinson8346]

I like the idea of having a separate shower room.

[@barryrenouf3450]

"Stunning" is an understatement. That is one of the most practical boats you've shown. A mini but stylish Nord.

[@Berrus81]

You didnt wave in a mirror. Sounds stupid but it always puts a smile on my face when you do that 😀

[@Mike-ie6ee]

I noticed that too!

[@roberthopkins7142]

Me too!

[@jasonkoch3182]

I love that you post on a Tuesday, Admiral. Helps me get through Monday knowing there's a Nick video to wake up to in the morning!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@DoctorLodi]

What a delightful change of pace! Most of the boats you tour are like a 5-star boutique hotel at sea, but this is a charming and practical family-run B&B in the countryside. A little less polished, slightly more utilitarian, but instantly comfortable and welcoming.

[@MsCatdograt]

Cabins look way better than the other aft cabin yatchs i have seen.

[@jacobmiller3980]

When I started watching these videos a year ago, I knew nothing about boats other than I enjoy how they look, today when I saw the screen cap I said in my head, “Wow look at that hull, that a boat built for some serious cruising”, didn’t expect and education on this channel but guess I’m getting one! Thanks Nick!

[@debbiejudd4933]

You would look good with your arm around Maryann flying off to a dream destination on this one Thank you Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Maybe one day!

[@musicianshotsheet4806]

Agreed. You are well positioned to get a steal of a deal when you do upgrade.

[@musicianshotsheet4806]

It's like they miniaturized the more sensible ocean liners of old.

[@suehunt622]

that was way more boat than i was expecting from the outside views. thanks for bringing this one in Nick.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pitcat1376]

Wedge a bigger fridge/freezer in there somewhere, and I could actually see myself living on there permanently. Not something I would have previously considered of a 43-footer.

[@Toby_the_Glen]

I 'd scrape by living on the sunseeker 95!

[@rockets4kids]

I'm sure you could replace the dishwasher with another fridge. I didn't see either a generator or much of a house battery setup down in the engine room so that would be a bigger problems unless you want to be tethered to shore power.

[@ChuckFickens1972]

@@rockets4kids There is a generator control panel at 6:12 though, so I assume there is a generator somewhere (although it does only seem to have 1.1hours on it!)

[@rockets4kids]

@@ChuckFickens1972 Aah, I wonder where they have hid it!

[@RobEJC]

@@rockets4kids I was thinking the same thing - would much rather have more cold storage than the "luxury" of a dishwasher.

[@christianmurphy1907]

I know it's been said but, your videos are my favorite, because you film the actual boat, instead of all the other videos that film some person talking to you while you try and see what the boat looks like behind them, or catch a glimpse of the boat as the presenter is filmed walking around. You also seem like a genuinely pleasant person, and that makes your videos feel like I'm having a look around while my friend shows me the boat. A+ Keep it going, and Thanks.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very kind :)

[@gervers]

Great tour! It always is. As you say, it’s such a capable boat! Great comfort and versatility and well able for a family to spend months cruising around!

[@LoudValves]

What a magnificent floating apartment to keep moored somewhere warm, ready for those quiet weekends or exciting extended adventures!

[@paso7943]

Very nice boat. I love aft cabin. And I love separate wc and shower. Nothing is worse than when you wanna use the wc after someone just took a shower and there are wet everywhere. Nice video as always.

[@phillo1818]

Now that is a properly maintained blue water yacht. I love the galley area even the port side would be great for meal prep and baking, absolutely I'd make the whole area one galley. The engine room is immaculate allowing one to easily spot anything amiss.

[@danielamazing3264]

I’ve never seen the change in woodwork in the cabins before but i rather like it; it makes it seem like they are a lot brighter and larger than the are! Thanks Nick!

[@grahamholland7323]

had a little 'oooh' when i heard the speed... I was expecting 14 -15 knots flat out. Great review as ever Nick. What a boat for 43 ft!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Bob8091]

What a wonderful boat. Watching this I had a thought. Nick probably holds the record for being the person who opens and closes more cupboards and drawers in a year than anyone else. No dispute... it's an open and shut case.

[@dougdavis8986]

Aft cabins rock. Thanks

[@donieherraghty719]

Stunning boat! It’s basically a very posh version of my 1982 Broom Crown. Almost identical layout.

[@kevinbanham2429]

What a fantastic main cabin with galley looks so big and open nice sleeping cabins as well.

[@tonybazz53]

Amazing amount of living space for a 43 foot boat. The woodwork on the interior blows my mind! Stabilizers, two heads, twin motors,washing machine and I’m assuming autopilot. Nice to have the option of outrunning bad weather as well. Love this boat!

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick! I really like these raised helm and full beam master boats. A lot of boat for 42 feet.

[@rols1234]

"Or if you have been married for a long time" 😂

[@Ob1sdarkside]

I can relate to that 😂😂

[@jozah2148]

LOL!

[@AdventureCoupleUK]

Just checking the comments - knew someone would pick up on that. I wonder what a 'long time' is - tell us Nick, I'll have to inform the wife! :)

[@sandwormgod4771]

Speaking from experience there I think Nick.

[@robertrussell3268]

That's very noisy when the wind catches the Mike

[@johnspecht72]

I really like having only one control station and the aft cabin. Plenty of space in both the common areas and cabins. Having the option to close in the control station for weather protection means that you only need the one. This means the common area is fully useable. Another great video Sir Nick!

[@julienentresangle7577]

i love it, honestly, it's exactly the type of boat I would live in. It is possible to get good internet at sea? Absolutely love it

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Tanks Nick for sharing this one with us. What an absolute gorgeous boat. If had that kind of money lying around I would buy that no problem. Simply an amazing boat

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@maxnex7676]

What a surprisingly nice and spacious boat, thank you for the tour

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@jozah2148]

12:00 Kind of boat you could get-on from May, be back in September. LOL Love that, Nick.

[@bobuncle8704]

I quite like this boat. Almost like me in a way. Not the prettiest boat in the marina, but all business, and nice on the inside. 🤔 My only complaint about the boat is that I wish the colour scheme had been reversed. Darker in the cabins would be nicer for sleeping I’d think. Another fine tour Nick. Thank you so much.

[@musicianshotsheet4806]

This thing is like a gold Timex with diamond insets, but very naturally so. The luxury doesn't look like it was crowbarred into a utilitarian package. Love it.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Nice boat - love the rear owner's cabin. Thank you Nick for showing us!

[@helena8517]

When I saw the exterior of the boat I did not expect such a beautiful interior. I think it is a great boat!

[@kevinz8930]

I really like their idea of making the cabins very Light wood. Not only does it make it look more spacious because it's a lighter color, for me it makes the whole Bolt seem bigger because you basically get a change of scenery so to speak. I could easily handle disappearing for a month on this boat.

[@paulogrinke7020]

Very nice boat. Found it to be complete and very roomy. Doesn't feel cramped. I liked it.

[@arnoldsnodgrass2953]

I honestly think that’s my favourite boat of all the ones you’ve ever shown. Perfect!

[@herbertant4096]

That's a unique boat right there. Thanks for the new video nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No problem 👍

[@Kim_Jensen]

Gotta love the good old war canoes at 5:59 ;D Great boattour once again. Thanks

[@robertfrost1683]

Affordable is very nice. Not normally a high gloss fan, but this works for me. I would prefer the light wood throughout. I really like this little 43 ft boat. Sale pending on this little beauty already - good job aquaholic.

[@RichieRouge206]

That’s one of the most appealing boats you have shown us to date! Sturdy, would blend in nicely with boaters at Saint Tropez or be happy pottering around the Greek islands on an adventure. Love the seperate shower room especially. Great tour Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks! :)

[@stephenmurray9850]

Interesting yacht, those cutouts behind the stabilizers are underwater exhausts , Thanks Nick for the tour.

[@sandeepkumarsingh4567]

Wow it's massive, huge boat.. Indeed love to get lost in this boat for months with you 🤣 Nick Sir.. Great wood 🪵 work too.. Looks great and impressive... Looking dashing Sir

[@DynamicProGamer]

Wow I was watching this and perhaps not paying the most attention, looked up to see that guest cabin and just assumed that was the master. Incredible interior on this.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Lots of space in a small boat. The aft cabin stops it being a pretty boat, but looks very capable for setting off towards the horizon.

[@stn0920]

Love it. I think it's all the windows that bring in all the light that make it seem so much bigger. Great tour, as always!

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Great layout for a 43 footer and lots of well designed features. Strong too, it looks it. Thanks :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@emeraldmorningmist]

The only odd thing I saw was the heated towel rack in the loo and the shower was on the other side of the cabin. Beautiful boat; the high gloss cheery with the lighter wood in the cabins was a great touch!

[@sjones4668]

I really like this layout. I first said wow with the interior, then oh. Not sure how I feel about the color change on the wood. All and all a beautiful boat.

[@SwedishYouthHumanist]

That's an intersting, unique boat but also quite expensive.

[@davidantill6949]

I agree...an awful lot of money for that

[@bobt3374]

Cool boat i like the the internals & structure also looks so comfortable & good for touring.

[@gregdankert]

A beauty- in my area most vessels are under 32. So it’s worth noting how big and usable this boat is

[@sparky191]

Feels a much bigger boat. Nice and roomy. Freshening up the small details here and there would make it shine.

[@dmoonuk]

What a lovely boat Esp good for Uk waters even big enough to go full time on, A little bit of work needed but still.. Lots of room great cabin space and very well built

[@donnakawana]

Now that's a well built an appointed blue water boat

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. Aquastar, very capable and seaworthy boats. Fantastic twin tone woodwork. Luxurious interior and substantial galley. Even the exterior looks awesome with dark glazing and dark hull. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊

Lovely boat, I've become very fond of the semi displacement type. Great tour as usual. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rc7059]

Fantastic boat - brilliant use of interior space and beautifully done, understated but classy - hard to believe on such a small boat - just how much they’ve packed in without it feeling cramped… I sometimes think the heads suffer (especially the showers) on the smaller boats - but the shower in that master cabin was more spacious than on some more expensive yachts for sure! Thanks as always Nick, hope you’re keeping well, I’m enjoying your channel so much as always!

[@davidmwood560]

What a superb boat! I could live on that very happily.

[@danielforrester5153]

[@Mike-ie6ee]

What a wonderful surprise! As I first viewed the outside of this vessel, I was skeptical. But, this has turned into one of my favorite videos. This layout is truly spacious and practical. That darker wood color is a little heavy. It just goes to show you can't judge too quickly. Thank you Nick for this superb choice and an excellent presentation as usual

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@leeboggs269]

I really like just the one upper helm. Feels like a ship and frees up more space inside.

[@tal0ndarktalon637]

I’m starting to really like this style of boat. It packs a lot of living space in 43 feet. I’d still prefer a Nordhavn I think, but this is very good. As always an excellent Aquaholic Tour!

[@Knee-ko]

Very intriguing layout Nick. Loved the combination of woodwork down below. The only part I wasn't quite sold on was the utility area opposite the galley. Just seemed like a bit of dead space.

[@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ]

Actually very practical, washing machine is a must have on a boat if you want to spend more than a week on it. Also gives you tons more worktop space which any cook will appreciate very much!

Excellent yacht, i do like an aft cabin yacht as you tend to get better headroom and at 6 foot 4" that's important.

[@iancharlton678]

Can’t beat an aft cabin.... gorgeous 🌟 I’m assuming the indented outlets in the middle below the water line, are exhaust outlets.... far different from the old blackened stern of many earlier boats..... 🙂
